Jacob’s POV
While Michele and I were waiting for order, Michele gasped, and I looked away from my phone.
“What’s up?” I asked.
“Have you been on the Internet? Look what’s trending on Twitter!” She said, I exit the app and went onto Twitter, and I was greeted by 50 more followers, and a few mentions.
I went into the trending topics, and a certain one caught my eye.
#IsShawnGay
My eyes widened at this, and I clicked to see what was being said about him.
laylamendes: why is Shawn holding hands with guy?? And why isn’t he holding my hand?? #IsShawnGay
idkmendes: Shawn better explain this to us, because I need answers #IsShawnGay
shawnmyluv: guys! apparently that guy’s name is Jacob Brentwood! #IsShawnGay
I then saw a photo of when Shawn and I wer at the fair, holding hands. Now, that is not a good sign. On my account, I had so many notifications, from followers, to mentions, and I don’t know how to feel about this situation.
Our order was called, and Michele and I went to grab our pancakes.
“Let’s just head home and eat the drama away.” Michele offered, and I just laughed in agreement.

On the whole ride home, I did not go on Twitter, because I’d rather not read the things that were probably said about because they might be mean.
We entered the house, and saw Shawn sitting patiently waiting, and Jenna laying down on the couch. When he heard the door open, he looked over and smiled at us.
“Food time?” Shawn asked, I laughed and nodded as Michele put the food on the table.
“Have you been on Twitter lately?” Michele asked, and Shawn just nodded, “so you know what’s going on?”
“Yeah, I’m gonna tweet something out later, just let this whole thing die down.”
“Hey Jacob, could I use your laptop really fast? I need to send an email to my professor.” Jenna asked, and I put my keys down before smiling.
“Yeah, let me grab it.” I offered, but she quickly got up and followed me.
“No no, I’ll go with you. It’s really quick, you don’t need to bring it.” And I just nodded as she followed me into my room.
“It’s on the desk, charger is somewhere.” I said laughing as I looked around my room.
“I didn’t really need to use it, I just wanted to ask if you and Shawn are you know, dating, because I find you two cute together!” Jenna gushed, but that just confused me.
“What?”
“On Twitter, the photo of you two together, and you told us that you held his hand because you were scared, but it’s still cute!” She explained, and my face flushed red.
“O-oh no, we’re legit just friends. Nothing more.” I stuttered out, and she just laughed.
“He likes you.” Jenna said nonchalantly, and I looked at her with the most confused, yet happy face.
“Well, he’s staying in my house so I hope he doesn’t hate me.” I said, acting like I didn’t know what she means by ‘like.’
“No, he likes likes you, I can see it. After you guys left, he just kept talking about you, and how much fun you guys had. Also, whenever you’re talking, you could see the admiration in his eyes when he looks at you, and it’s so cute.” Jenna explained, I just stood there taking it in.
“He probably talked about me because we had fun? So that’s a normal thing to talk about, and I could be talking about something he likes, which explains the admiration!” I tried explaining to prove her wrong, but if Michele also noticed this, I guess it can’t be wrong. Or can it.
“And I already know that he was all like ‘oh I’m gonna try and see if Jenna likes me’ on this trip, don’t need to hide that, Michele told me.” Jenna said
Jenna just laughed at my response, shaking her head. “Let’s just head back now, I need to have at least a pancake.” We left my room, and I was still a blushing mess because of what she just told me. I want it to be true, but then again, I don’t want to get my hopes up so high for them to end up crashing down.
“Okay, you’re probably right. I’ll ask Jacob later.” Shawn said, smiling, to Michele as we entered the living room and she just smiled back and clapped.
“Ask me what?” I asked, walking next to Shawn, he turned around eyes full of terror, and I could see Michele, trying to hold a laugh.
“Umm, well, you know,” Shawn stuttered blushing, and I looked at him confused, waiting for an answer, but he turned to Michele and she just laughed. Shawn turned back to me, “I was gonna ask you, um, what’s your favorite ice cream flavor!”
“Cookies and Cream?” I answered still confused.
Jenna laughed, and I looked over at her and she just gave me an expectant look, and I just tilt my head in confusion.
“Is there something that I don’t know?” I finally asked.
“No! No nothing at all! Nothing, it’s all fine.” Shawn said quickly, I looked at him in confusion, before just shrugging going to the couch. My phone buzzed, and I looked at it to see a new message from a new number.
Unknown: I told you Jacob! That was proof right there!
Unknown: Oh and this is Jenna, Michele gave me your number!
I looked up from my phone to see Jenna, Michele, and Shawn conversing, and Jenna’s phone no wear in sight. She glanced at me, to see me staring and she just winked.
“Well, I think it’s time Jen and I get going. See you guys later!” Michele said out of nowhere, quickly pulling Jenna out of the house, without me getting a chance to say bye.
“Shawn, is there some inside joke that I’m missing here? Because I’m still utterly confused about the things that occurred in,” I spoke, looking at my invisible watch, “about 5 minutes ago.”
“No Jay, it’s nothing, no joke at all. Just Michele being stupid.” Shawn said, giving me a nickname which is something that never happens to me.
“Jay?” I asked amused, and Shawn’s face turned red.
“Do you not want me to? I’m sorry Jacob!” Shawn said embarrassed, and I just laughed.
“No it’s fine, it’s just the first time being called that, but I like it.”
Shawn just smiled, but his smile soon faded and I started to see that he was getting nervous.
“Shawn, are you feeling alright?” I asked concerned, standing from my seat to walk to him.
“Yeah, yeah I just need to ask you something.” Shawn said taking a deep breathe, I motioned for him to continue but he just shook his head.
“You can ask anything you know? I’m not gonna stab you for asking a dumb question.” I said trying to lighten the mood.
“Yeah, yeah you’re right. Okay so here goes nothing,” Shawn spoke taking a deep breathe, “Jacob, we’ve gotten pretty close these past few days, and you intrigue me so, you know,” he paused and let out a frustrated sigh, putting his head down.
“What’s wrong? I’ll answer it, even if it’s personal. I trust you, I hope you know that.” I said resting my hand on his shoulder.
“Yeah I know. Jacob?” Shawn paused.
“Yes Shawn?”
“Do you want to go on a date with me?”

A/N:
This chapter is bit shorter, and I apologize for that because if school and I also really wanted to get a chapter updated because you guys got this book 12K+ reads! Thank you guys so much!
Anyways, I’m starting to get whole cute stuff on here because I don’t want this chapter to be a million chapters (I plan on around 40-50 chapters, which is more than I expected tbh) and I hope you guys are still reading, because I already have a story idea planned for when this ends, which won’t be for awhile!
Your votes and comments are always appreciated, and I’ll see you next time!
