I watched him intensely as he walked into the building with his two best friends, all heads turning towards them- mine too. He looked around the now crowded and loud hallway examinging every inch of it. The mere thought of me being in the same room as him made me weak in the knees, my heart jumped a few inches out of its place as our eyes met for the first time, eventhough it was for a split second. I held on to my best friend Caitlyn for support, but it didnt seem like it was enough. His eyes were so beautiful. I forgot how to breathe. literally. They were the most amazing combination of melting gold and melting chocolate and they looked even better face to face. I saw him smile, not at me ofcourse, otherwise i would have gone into a coma, seriously, but at the sea of people in front of him. It wasn't his old playful smile, it was different. It was the smile that said I'm-smiling-to-show-the-world-that-i'm-happy-otherwise-i'm-pretty-much-dying-in-the-heart. The world seemed to buy it, but not me. I was too much of a big fan to buy that crap. I had never met him in my entire life, but i felt a deep connection with his music- the thing I love most in my life, they walked on dissapearing into the distance as the whole crowed except Caitlyn and I followed them. We, on the other hand had better things to do like attend English class, my essay was due today anyway.
Connect three decided they needed a break. They were one of the most successful bands on the face of the earth, but lately things have not being going down too smoothly. Shane Gray, the lead singer has been acting a little off lately. Yes he was smiling at fans, and he was giving interviews, he happily signed autographs too, but he wasn't happy, his band members, also his brothers and best friends knew that. Something that happened during the course of the summer changed their lively, always happy brother into an awefully upset person and the brothers thought the best way to clear Shanes mind was by going away from the city that had caused their brother so much pain, the person who had caused their brother so much pain and move, so they moved to Miami, but only for the year, untill Shane gets his head straight- hopefully. They were teaching music at my school. Great, now everyday I would be making a fool out of my self infront of my idol- Shane Gray.
"Nate looks even better in real life" Catilyn exclaimed as we walked towards English. I couldn't help but laugh at my friends remark, she definately had feelings for him, I knew it just like she knew how much I liked Shane. I liked him and his voice and the beautiful songs he wrote Each time I saw him, even if they were in pictures on my laptop i could read through him, I dunno how I managed that, but i knew I wasnt wrong with Shane Gray being upset. Okay, scratch that he didn't look upset he looked crushed to say the least.
"I'm glad I amuse you" Caitlyn scoffed as we entered the deserted classroom, Caitlyn and I givng each other questioing glances.
our English teacher was already in class with a few other students scattered around the classroom. "Looks like everyone is after the rockstars today." she laughed as we walked into the classroom, Caitlyn and I couldn't help but laugh along. Mrs. Wrightman always had her ways of making everyone happy.
I could hardly concentrate on any class that day, I kept looking out of the doors to see if I could spot him, you know, maybe walking from one class to another. Dont get me wrong I'm not a crazy stalker or anything, but Shane Gray was in my school. The Shane Gray.
School that day was rather uneventful. Each class seemed more empty than the one before, everyone was obviously stalking them, but it was at lunch that my heart stopped beating for the second time that day. As caitlyn and I entered lunch there was a huge crowd near the table we normally sit I looked around and saw the three of them sitting on the table beside ours. Great. I could feel myself sinking into the ground. Out of all the tables in the damn canteen they found the one next to ours, how wonderful.
Caitlyn grabbed my hand in excitement as she power walked to our tabel. You would expect every table near the one they are sitting in to be full, but not the one we sat on. Justin was already there, Justin my best friend, also a senior and the hottest guy in school, well now the second after Shane. I do sound like a crazy fangirl now, seriously. Justin had dark brown hair and insanely blue eyes. They were gorgeous. He was interested in every sport that the world had ever seen and his tanned body and height complimented his built structure.
"Hey Jus!" I smiled. "Hey Mitch, I would have thought you would be in the hospital by now, laying unconcious muttering 'Shane, Shane...ohhhh Shane' " He teased.
I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks causing it to be Cherry Red. I hit him with all the power in my body, but ofcourse it didnt cause him any pain. I looked around hoping no one around us had heared what he just said, no, no one.
Shane, Nate and Jason were sitting at their table munching on fries. You would think they would do that in the teachers room, but no they had to do it in the canteen. I guess it was a way of saying we're just like you guys, we're human too so you could go less on the stalking. From where I sat I could see Shane clearly. Tess was there. Arghhh how much I hat that bitch. I wish I could hear what she was saying to them, but Shane did not seem to pay much attention to her so I was happy.
" Mitch, you could stop staring now." Caitlyn suggested.
"I was so not staring" I defended which caused my two best friends to go into a fit of laughter. I threw my french fries at them, embarrassed.
"If you like him so much you should go say 'hi' to him" Jus advised. "Yeah, and make it seem like im desperate for their attention, no thanks" I snorted quietly making sure no one heared our conversation. I'm sure no one did, it was too loud in the Canteen anyway.
I drove home, relieved that i didn't have music class. As i pulled up infront of the huge Iron gate I saw Macy, my baby sister playing in the front yard with her nanny, Olivia. The yard was more like dad's version of Hyed Park. I grabbed my remote and pressed the green button causing the gates to open. Macy threw her ball on the floor running towards me. I smiled as I got out of my mustang, yes I drive a mustang to school. My dad is the CEO of a computer company so i guess we are kind of better off. Macy hugged my feet as I got out of my car. I pulled her up and held her in my arms . I loved her so much, she was probably the thing I loved more than music, how could I not love her? She's only 4 years old and I'm 17.....yeah, I know huge age difference maybe thats why I love her even more. "Hows my angel today?" I asked as I stroked her silky straight hair. She giggled like crazy as if I said something funny. "I'm otay, I play with new neighbourrr, Jaakee" She rambled. "Oh so the new people have moved in huh?" I asked, mostly to myself, looking to my right at the huge mansion next to ours. One of my childhood friends Ruksar used to live there untill last april, but her father got transfered and they had to move to NYC...oh how I missed her. Macy smiled the most adorable smile planting a kiss on my cheek and ran off again to play with her ball again. I sighed as I looked at the mansion again and opened the front door.
The most delicious aroma of chocolate hit my nostrils as I stepped into my 8 bedroom home. It was kind of ridiculous, their were only four people living in the house and we had 8 bedrooms...what the heck?
"I'm home!" I declared.
Mom stepped out of the kitchin with a plate full of chocolate brownies, my eyes grew wide in delight as I reached out to grab one, only to be hit in the hand by my mother. "Mitchie, those are not for you dear" mom gasped. I moaned as I looked at her with innocent eyes. I could never resist my mothers brownies, they were great. She always had a passion for cooking, but my mother was not a cook, she was a writer and a successful one too.
"Mitchie, honey take them next door. The new neighbours have moved in. I want them to feel welcome in the new neighbourhood." She revealed.. I whined a bit as I walked out of the door and back to the front yard. Maybe I could hide one in my sweater pocket and eat it when I'm in my room later on? I ruled that possiblity out as i ducked under the broken fence that acted as a wall between the two mansions. The fence wasn't really broken. When Ruksar and I were younger we would play all day together. We needed a way of going in and out of our houses without passing two huge iron gates hence, we broke the fence in a way that it didnt look broken so we could easily pass in and out of each others territories. Those were the days.
I ducked under the fence and stepped into my new neighbours residence. I rang the doorbell and a beautiful lady answered. She had black hair and large black eyes with the most dazzling smile. She looked at me with a questioning glare but nevertheless smiled warmly. Oh shit! She must be thinking I'm one of those girls who sell cookies at peoples door. I didnt even ring in the intercom so I'm guessing she was surprised to find someone at her front door with a plate full of brownies. 'I'm Mitchie. I live next door" I smiled. She graciously smiled back "I didnt know Macy has such a beautiful sister. Please come in dear"She asked and I walked in. It had been five months since I had stepped into that house. It was still the same, except the peach walls were now a beautiful Off White decotarted with large anchient paintings that must cost hundreds if not thousands. The house wore beautiful Italian furniture and I smiled. It felt good being here again eventhoigh my friend wasn't here with me. I placed the plate of brownies on the counter in the kitchin .
"My boys will be so excited to see these, they are their favourite. Tell your mother I said thank you for the hospitality. I reallly appriciate it." All i could do is smile. I was doing that alot lately. "I'll tell her that mrs...." oh right! I didnt even know her name yet. "Gray" she told me, "but call me Clair". I already liked her. She had the same last name as my superstar, that earned her the extra points. "Okay, so I'll be leaving now. Please dont hesitate to come over, my mom will be delighted" I assured as I made my way out of the kitchin, but before that I hit something, so muscular I fell to the ground. I sat there for a mere three seconds and before my mind could figure out what was happening someone held their hand out to help me up. Clair immediately ran upto me, worried.
" I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. I didn't see you" said the most melodious voice on Earth. It didn't even take me a second to recognise it. How could I not I practically dream of his voice every night in my dreams and hear it the rest of the time I'm awake on my ipod. I looked up in disbelief only to see a very worried looking Shane Gray. I shook my head not believeing what I was seeing. Nate ans Shane Gray were infront of me and Shane Gray, yes The Shane Gray held his hand out to Meee!!!!!!! I wanted to scream so loud my voice would have gone all the way to the South pole, the Polar bears would have been able to hear me. I willingly took his hand and helped myself up. His hand was so warm and so soft I didnt want to let go. As our hands mingled together, I swear I could feel electricity run through me.
"Are you okay?" He asked Oh My God! Shane Gray just asked me if I'm okay. Hell yes I was okay. I was better than okay I was fantastic for heavens sake who wouldnt be after colliding with Shane Gray and holding his hand? I sound idiotic. I know.
I looked at him and Nate for a second, Nate was with his brother too. Caitlyn was right Nate did look better in real life, but Shane looked the best. Am I biased? I didnt think so either. 'I'm fine. It's okay. No harm done" I lied. My back hurt like crazy."Are you sure dear?" Clair asked.
"Yes I'm fine" I assued.
"Hey I'm really sorry I didn' mean to knock you down like that" He said. I was melting Like butter.
"It's no problem we're human, we're not perfect" I smiled.
He held his hand out again this time to shake mine. "I Shane by the way" He told me, smiling. Ofcourse I know that you idiot. I only dreamt of this day since i was 13. He flashed that smile of his at me and i felt dizzy. My body shook a little, but he held me. "You sure you're okay?" he asked again. I smiled and replied in the postive, but I wasn't! I couln't wait till I got home and called Caitlyn or Justin they would be so excited for me and I had to tell Caitlyn that she was right about Nate. ofcourse.
"I'm Nate" he said just in cue.
'i'm Mitche. I live next door" I told them pointing towards my house.
"Hey you go to Broadside High, right?" Nate asked. I was surprised how on Earth did he know? Did he see me today and recognise me? Why me out of the 6000 students? why me? " You sat at the table beside ours today at lunch with that beautiful curly haired girl?" Oh My God!! He was talking about Caitlyn! She would most definately flip once she heared this. Did he just call her beautiful? I could feel him regretting and blushing at what he said. "Yeah " I said shyly, not looking at Shane. I knew I would fall unconcious any moment now.
"Okay I better get going, my mom will be worried" I said as I made my way to the door "Bye guys" Shane and Nate walked me to the door as Clair waved me goodbye. "I guess I'll see you around then?" Shane said. Did he just say he'll see me around? around where I wondered. Oh god I sound so stupid in my own head. I smiled and quietly went home through the 'secret passageway' Ruksar and I had made. Both of them still watching me. I could feel their glares burn into my back. They had a amused expression on their face as they saw me go through the fence. Great now they find me amusing, just great!
