Jacob’s POV
After 30 minutes of FaceTiming Shawn, I realized that I haven’t even asked him when Jenna is arriving.
“Shawnie boy, when is Jenna coming on tour with you.” I said, soon realizing that I called him by his nickname that I would always refer to him when I talked to Michele, because of that, a light shade of pink.
“Shawnie boy?” Shawn said, giggling at his nickname, “I like it.”
“Shut up and just answer my question.”
“My manager said she’ll be here be tomorrow! You have the day off right? I need you to help me! Please!” Shawn insisted, and I just smiled at him.
“Shawn, tomorrow is Sunday. I’m obviously off. And of course Shawn. That’s what friends are for!” I said cheerfully. Am I going to regret this decision in the future? Maybe. I already don’t like the sound of him dating a girl.
It’s the fan side of me talking I swear. I don’t like Shawn. I can’t like Shawn. He’s popular and straight. I’m hated and gay.
“Thank you Jacob again! Anyways, I’m gonna go hiking so I’ll talk to you later?” Shawn asked, I smiled at him.
“Sure thing, bye Shawnie.”
“Bye Jacoby.”
He hung up, but I just gave my screen a weird look before quickly sending him a text saying:
That was one of the worst nicknames I’ve ever received we are no longer friends again.
I turned my laptop off, putting it on my desk before walking into the silent living room. I wanted to have time to myself and just relax, but once again, I was interrupted by the garage door opening.
It startled and I spoke with a shaky voice.
“H-hello?”
“Oh Jacob you’re awake! I wanted to give this to you as soon as I could!” My mom spoke as she gave a box, wrapped in Disney wrapping paper.
“Nice wrapping paper mother.” I said, laughing at her.
“It’s the only one they had at my work.”
I unwrapped it and my eyes widened.
I can’t believe how much my mom has given me within the past month. It’s amazing, yet also terrifying knowing that she’s working many nights, never home just to buy me stuff while she only gets herself something once a year.
“A camera? Mom, why are you giving me this? This is an expensive one.” I said as I looked up to see my mom smiling.
“Photography is a hobby of yours. I see you always taking photos on your phone whenever we drive somewhere. Also, the photos of your dad. Our camera broke awhile ago so I finally bought a new one so you could capture more moments and keep them as memories just like how you did with the photos of dad.” My mom explained. I engulfed her in a hug in response and thanked her.
“Okay, my lunch break is gonna end soon I need to get back to work. Bye son, I love you.” My mom said pulling away from the hug after kissing my head.
“Bye mom, love you.” She left once again and I spent no time opening my camera.
I set it up, and looked through a cabinet in my mom’s room to find an SD card which wasn’t really a problem. My dad always loved photography and pictures in general. So he always bought a lot of SD cards because he couldn’t delete any photo at all. His love for photography was passed down to me, so I take photos for my dad because of how much he loved them.

“She’s coming today.”
“Who’s coming?” Michele said on the laptop screen because we were FaceTiming again.
“Jenna.”
“I don’t know who that is so do explain.”
“Jenna is a girl that Shawn might like. She’s going on tour with him as an intern I guess so Shawn was asking me how he can I don’t know. Date her?” I explained, I’m still not sure why he came to me in the first place.
“Is someone jealous?” Michele asked, a smirk evident on her face.
“Well duh. If your celebrity crush was in a relationship wouldn’t you be jealous!” I explained looking at her through the screen.
“Yeah, but you know him. You talk to him. You’re friends with him. You have a small crush on him.” Michele said teasing me.
“Shawn is a friend. We’ve only been friends for like not even a week yet, I can’t like someone that fast.” I explained, trying to avoid her accusation about having a ‘crush’ on Shawn.
“But, you’ve been in love with him for fifty years. So feelings can develop fast after you’re friends with him.” Michele explained trying to get me to say I have a crush, which I don’t.
“Over exaggerating. Anyways, Shawn is texting me to call him on FaceTime. I’ll call you after we’re done yeah?” I explained wanting to leave this situation as soon as possible.
“Sure, and text me when you realize your feelings so I can tell you how right I am.” I stuck out my tongue at her statement and hung up.
Do I like Shawn. Do I have feelings for Shawn. Is this celebrity crush feeling towards him developing into something more?
I don’t know how liking someone feels like at all. Liking someone is a foreign feeling that I have yet to understand how it feels.
I’ve never had the time to explore into these feelings, but maybe now is the time? What am I even saying, Shawn is going to be dating a girl pretty soon and if I find out that I happen to like him my life will be over.
I called Shawn, and he answered in a few seconds.
“Jacob, I’m nervous help me.”
“Shawn, you’re a million miles away, I can’t help you.” I explained smiling at him.
“She’s gonna be dropped off at the bus in two hours! What should I do!” Shawn asked frantically, which I just laughed at him, “this isn’t a laughing matter.”
“Get her a bus-warming gift? I don’t know buy her candy.” I explained picking up my phone to scroll through Twitter.
“Candy! Okay, what else?” Shawn asked looking at me through the screen.
“Candy.” I said uninterested because all of my attention was on my phone, which was playing a video of Shawn singing Treat You Better.
“Jacob I’m being serious help me.” Shawn pleaded and I locked my phone and looked at the laptop screen, to see him with a pouty face and doing a puppy dog face, which made my heart melt because of how adorable he looked.
I looked up to see his eyes, beautiful brown eyes, yet the quality of the FaceTime call wasn’t showing the full beauty of them.
“Oh no did the call freeze?” Shawn asked himself, his pout growing and I just shook my head.
“No no, I was distracted anyways, what were you saying.”
“What else should I get her?” Shawn asked again.
“Get her balloons saying welcome. You guys are close enough friends to do that right?” I asked and he smiled.
“Yeah, we are like best friends basically.” He explained, which made me pout.
“I thought we were best friends?”
“We are, but she’s cuter.” Shawn explained laughing, I laughed with him, although this laugh felt weird and forced.
“I don’t even know what she looks like. Explain her to me if she’s cuter than this.” I said pointing to myself and he just laughed once again.
“Well Jacob, she has these beautiful brown slash hazel eyes that shine when the sun is on her face, which make them even more beautiful. She has brown wavy hair which is so perfect. She has the cutest smile ever, and her laugh is so small and sweet that it makes me smile and want to laugh with her.” Shawn explained, looking off into space.
“Her personality is so amazing. She’s so kind and always wants to help others out before herself. She is so understanding and could never hold a grudge about anyone. She has such a carefree attitude which I really like about her you know?” Shawn finished explaining.
“Wow, she sounds really amazing Shawn. I can’t wait to meet her.” I said, forcing a smile on my face.
“Once I hang out with her for a bit, I’ll be sure to introduce you to her!” Shawn said with a smile on his face. He really does like Jenna.
I kept the forced smile on my face while he told me that, and I knew there was this feeling in my heart that I did not enjoy. Maybe Michele was right.
Maybe I am jealous.
