Chapter 1
At school
Lily's POV
Our class is already starting when, Mitchie bursts through the doors. Her breathing is even and her face is glistening because of sweat. Miss Darbus turns around and looks at Mitchie up and down. "I'm glad that you decided to join us today Mitchie." Miss Darbus says then looks down on the papers on her desk. "Well I'm not." Mitchie mutters. "What?" Darbus says looking up from her desk. "Nothing ma'am." Then Darbus lifts up a piece of paper from her desk, which looks like a detention slip. "Care to tell us why you're late?" She asks Mitchie lifting an eyebrow. "I- uh fell asleep on the gym." Mitchie says then smiles innocently at Miss Darbus. "And why is that?" Darbus asks. "Ahm- Mr. Bolton ordered me to get 200 junk shots, or I wouldn't be able to leave the gym." Mitchie replies. "Well, drama club needs some help on painting some of our props; maybe you can get me 5 painted boxes by you, during detention, the Darbus style?" Darbus asks more like orders Mitchie. "But ma'am-" Mitchie tries to explain. But Darbus interrupts her. "You can take your seat now Mitchie." Mitchie groans, then take her seat next to me, which is in front of Caitlyn.
Mitchie's POV
"But dude, we have practice after class-" Caitlyn starts to say but gets interrupted by Miss Darbus shouting. "Then maybe you can help Mitchie painting those boxes Gellar!" Darbus yells. "But I-uh. Ughh!" Caitlyn tries to say but shuts herself up groaning.
Lunch
Nobody's POV
The bell ring and Mitchie walks out of the room to go to the cafeteria to meet the gang there, when coach Bolton calls her and ask her to come to his office. Mitchie follows him to his office then sit on the chair in front of his desk. "Mitchie, you are the ace player of our team, but that doesn't mean that you don't have to attend to our practices anymore. We have to prepare for the big game that is coming in three months as a team. And you are a part of that team Mitchie, which means you have to be in those preparations that we are doing." Coach Bolton says looking straight at Mitchie. "I'm sorry coach; I just have a lot on my plate-" Mitchie tries to explain. "You should know your priorities Torres!" Coach Bolton yells at Mitchie standing up from his sit. "But coach I was just-" Mitchie starts saying but once again interrupted. "Torres you have to choose if you will give time for this team or spend all of it with your girlfriend?" Coach Bolton says calmly. Mitchie stares at him with wide eyes and mouth hanging open. "You think I don't know why you're always absent on our practices?" He asks. "Coach I-uh" Mitchie tries to find her words but she is still in shock and can't even form a sentence. "I don't need an explanation Mitchie, and I will only tell you this, once, I'm afraid that if you still wouldn't be able to attend on any practice we'll be having you'll be out of the team." Coach Bolton says seriously. "What?!" Mitchie yells. "That's all Mitchie, you can leave now." Mitchie just leave and make her way to the cafeteria.
Lunch
Mitchie's POV
I walk inside the cafeteria and walk over to our table. I take a seat next to Miley and slam my things on the table. "Whoa! What is wrong with you?!" Miley asks. "I hate him!" I yell. "Ok, what now?" Lily asks. "He tells me, that if I don't attend on any practice we'll be having, he might kick me out of the team!" I answer. "What?! He cannot do that. Does he know that you are the ace player of our team?!" Miley yells. "That's the first thing he said." I reply. "Then why?!" Caitlyn asks. "I think what he's trying to say is, that Alex is a distraction for me?" I say calmly. "Say what?! Did he ask you to brake up with her?" Gabriella asks. "Well, no, but it seems like that is what he wants me to do?" I answer. "And it seems like its ok with you?" Lily says. "Well, of course not! I love Alex and you guys know that. It's just so, complicated." I answer. "What is so complicated with that? You just have to choose between Alex and basketball?" Mandy asks. "That's what makes things so complicated. I have to choose between the two most important things in my life. Basketball and Alex." I reply. "And you're saying it as if they were two things that you love equally?" Nate says. "Actually, no. She's saying it as if basketball is way more important than Alex is." Shane retorts. "What?! No! That is not what I'm trying to say." I reply. "Then what are you trying to say?" Gabriella asks. "Guys, its-uh-its-just so complicated ok? I don't know what I'm going to do." I said obviously frustrated. "Mitchie, you have to-" Miley starts, but get interrupted by Jason. "Guys! The girls are coming. Change subject." Jason says.
The girls are heading to our table and I saw Alex wow she's so beautiful. They were all laughing, because of something Bailey says. When they get to our table Alex takes her seat beside me and peck me on the cheek. I just smile at her and look at the guys. "Mitchie, baby? Are you ok?" Alex asks concern. "Huh?! Of course! Why?" I lie "Are you sure?" She asks. "Of course! Don't worry about me." I lie again. "Ok." She says, I know she didn't buy it and she is definitely going to ask me about that later. "Wait, Mitchie?" Caitlyn called out looking worried. "What?" I ask. "We have detention, how are you going to attend practice?" Caitlyn says. Oh, boy I never think of that. "And how did you two get a detention?" Tess asks. "What did you do?" Alex asks me raising an eyebrow and crossing her arms over her chest. "I'm uh- late." I said smiling at her innocently. "Why?" she asks. "I fell asleep on the gym." I said "Why?" she asks looking at me confuse. "Ahm- Mr. Bolton ordered me to get 200 junk shots, or I wouldn't be able to leave the gym." I say. "Why does he want you to do that?" "He said I was always absent every time we have a practice, so, yeah." She sighs then looks down, and didn't talk to me the whole time.
Alex's POV
I don't know why but I think coach Bolton, punishing Mitchie has something to do with me. Maybe, he thinks that I am a distraction for Mitchie? Ok, I'll admit, Mitchie's spending most of her time with me, but I'm her girlfriend of course she will spend most of her time with me. So why am I feeling so guilty? Was it the fact that I know that I am the reason why she hasn't been attending any of their practices. Maybe I should talk to her after school, because right now, I don't even know how will I going to start a conversation. But I should talk to her right now. Go Alex you can do this! "Erm… Mitchie can I talk to you outside?" I ask her. She just nodded and takes my hand and led the way outside.
Normal POV
Outside
Mitchie stop by a tree, then turn around to face Alex. "Mitchie, are your problems with coach Bolton have something to do with me?" Alex asks nervously. "What? Nooo…Well, maybe just… a little, I think, maybe a lot, well, actually all of them." Mitchie says not sure of her words. "Does he want you to break up with me?" Alex asks much more nervous than she was before. "Well, I think that's what he's trying to say, but I really don't know. I'm not sure?" Mitchie says. "Mitchie I just want you to know this. I know how much you love basketball, and if the time comes that, you have to choose, I'll accept whatever answer you have. Just always, remember this I love you so much, and I will always be here for you no matter what." Alex says smiling sweetly at Mitchie. Mitchie sneaks her arms around Alex's waist and pull her closer to her body, resting her chin above Alex's head. Then leans down a little and whisper in Alex's ear. "Thank you and I love you too so much more." Mitchie whispers. Then Mitchie feels something wet against her neck. She pulls away a little from Alex and lift up her chin so she can look on her face. "Princess, why are you crying?" Mitchie asks softly. Alex just shook her head biting her bottom lip to fight against the sobs that are coming. "Please don't cry, princess please." Mitchie begs and pull Alex against her body again. Alex clutch Mitchie's shirt, sobbing against it.
Minutes pass and their still standing in the same spot and the same position. Then Alex pulls away and looks at Mitchie's eyes. Mitchie leans down and close the gap between hers and Alex's lips. Alex kisses back with the same amount of passion and sneak her arms around Mitchie's neck. Alex pulls away, still looking at Mitchie's eyes. "I love you, baby." Alex whispers. "I love you too princess" Mitchie whispers back. "C'mon, let's go back inside." Alex said pulling Mitchie inside.
Once inside, they take their seat both smiling widely. "Mitchie! What's with the smile on your face? You look like a love struck idiot!" Miley yells, everyone laughs, except Mitchie. "Ha ha! Very funny!" Mitchie said. Mitchie wrapped her arms around Alex's waist pulling her closer then starts kissing the side of Alex's head then to her ear whispering something. "Do you have anything to do tonight?" Mitchie asks pulling away a little to look at her. "Nothing, why?" Alex asks turning her head on Mitchie's direction. "Then I'll pick you up at 7." Mitchie says. "Huh? Where are we going?" Alex asks scrunching her eyebrows together. "I don't know, maybe dinner then movies?" She asks. "Are you sure you don't have to do anything?" Alex asks "Yes." Mitchie replies. "Well, ok then." She says pecking Mitchie on the lips. Then Bailey speaks up. "Guys we should go the bell is about to ring." Everyone stands up, and go to their classroom. Mitchie walks Alex to her classroom. But they stop by Alex's locker first to get some of her stuffs. Alex open her locker and start getting some of her books then Mitchie wraps her arms around Alex and rest her chin on her shoulder then kiss Alex's cheek. After getting everything she needs for her next class, Alex closes her locker then turn around facing Mitchie, leaning against the locker. Mitchie lean one of her arms against Alex's locker and one on Alex's hips leaning closer to Alex. "DANG! Princess you're so hot!" Mitchie says. "Really?" Alex asks seductively biting her bottom lip. "Yes." Mitchie said then capture Alex's lips on her own. Alex kisses back wrapping her arms around Mitchie's neck pulling her closer. Minutes later, someone clears their throat behind Mitchie, and then both girls instantly pull away. Mitchie turns around to see coach Bolton standing in front of them…..
