Who do you think you are? ~ Shawn Mendes

The kings corridors

The alarm buzzing in my ear was the last thing I wanted to hear on a Monday morning. I dragged myself out of my bed and started my mourning skin routine, cleansing my face and then applying my makeup, just some mascara as I liked my skin, it was clear and my freckles complimented my blue ocean eyes.
I straightened my brown hair and it fell over my shoulders effortlessly.
Now for clothes, I pulled open my walk in wardrobe and I examined and assessed each item of clothing and what it would go with.
I decided upon some blue jeans and a black top with lace and my vans to finish the look. I grabbed my bag and swung it over my shoulder and headed downstairs.
Mom had already left for work so I grabbed my bike and popped in my earphones and started to cycle to school, with one important stop along the way.
The familiar and sweet sound of the little bell above my head rang and Veronica emerged with a brown paper bag which I gladly took and placed it into my bag.
"Enjoy!" She smiled.
"Wish me luck." I rolled my eyes with a smile.
I was well on my way to school as the sun shined down on the little town and I admired everything as my music played.
I eventually yet unfortunately ended up at school, I parked my bike and noticed how heads turned to my direction as I walked up the steps. I pulled out my map and schedule firstly as it was something to fiddle with and secondly I had no clue where I was going.
I found my locker and opened it up before placing my bag inside and taking a breather, This was going to be tougher than I had hoped.
"There she is!" I heard a guy say and lean on the locker next to me.
"Mmm?" I was puzzled but then it kicked in. These were the guys that I saw get out of the black mustang that first night here.
"The girl next door." A deeper voice said. A tall boy with similar coloured hair to mine emerged from the back. He had tattoos on his hand and one on his forearm. It was Shawn, the one I stared at and the one who chuckled when he caught me.
"What's your name then?" He spoke but before I could reply he cut in. "Peeping Tom might do." He laughed and all his mates chuckled along with him.
"Exscuse me?" I questioned.
"Friday night, you were staring at me in my bedroom." He said like it was obvious and I was dumb.
I thought, today is my first impression, I can't come across as a weak vulnerable girl. I need to be one that everyone watches out for, even this inked child.
"Oh that night! The one where I was trying to sleep and all I could hear was your whining voice as you fought with your Mum?" I sarcastically replied and dropped one hip as I folded my arms across my chest.
Shawn's has clenched and he took a step closer so he was towering over me. I swear I felt time stop in that moment, everyone was watching the new girl and the king of the school have their first meeting.
"Listen England, this high school is my territory so don't you embarrass me or you'll get consequences." He said through gritted teeth and a smirk shortly followed as his eyes travelled up and down my body.
"Listen Canada, back Home my territory was a university, you want to play that game? Bring it on." I said and stepped closer to him.
In one swift motion he had me pinned against the lockers with both arms either side, trapping me.
"I don't know whether to admire your courage of talking back to me or punish you right here right now." I could feel his breath on my face as he scanned my features. One of his hands rose to my face and pushed my hair behind my ear very slowly before tracing down my cheek and jawline.
I quickly grabbed his wrist and pulled it away from my face.
"Touch me again, and you'll be the one being punished." I said angrily still keeping my voice quiet not wanting to cause a bigger scene then it already was.
"I'll be touching you all day long then." He smirked and licked the corner of his lips.
"You wish hunny." I said and pushed him away from me where he continued to step backwards keeping his eyes on me, he was handed his rucksack and then his posse followed behind him down the corridor. He gave me one last glance before he turned a corner and his eyes flicked over my body.
As soon as he was gone I let out a massive breath of relief and slight regret for being so authoritative, he was going to come after me.
"Omg you were awesome!" Two girls were suddenly in front of me.
"Sorry?" I asked and re opened my locker and took out my bag.
"Oh I'm Kate and this is Hannah." The girls, both beach blonde, smiled at me. "Yeah we're identical twins." They both said at the same time then laughed they exact same laugh.
"Sophia." I smiled at them.
"Sophia you were incredible! No one has ever stood up to Shawn like that!" Hannah squealed.
"And now I know why." I said rubbing the back of my neck where the locker hit it.
"You have to eat lunch with us." Kate smiled taking my schedule out of my hands. "I've got period before much with you! Sport, it's a bore but at least you have me now!"
The bell suddenly ran causing me to jump like an idiot and the girls showed me to my first class of the day...Maths. Great.
