Hi. I'm Mitchie Torres.

I'm a junior and I attend West Wood School in California. I get really good grades, and generally work really hard in school because I want to attend a performing arts college and of course you need near perfect grades for that. I'm a singer, musician and actress and truly all three are my passions.

But, that's just some background info. Right now, I'm sitting in science class. Mrs. Lee is announcing that we have a project that were are going to be starting and we are going to be assigned a partner.

Not to complain or anything, but I hate working with other people on projects whether it is in groups or in partners. Everyone always ends up taking advantage of me, I end up doing all the work, and then everybody gets credit when everyone except me does absolutely nothing, and quite frankly I'm really sick of it.

Honestly, I would just like to be paired up with someone who will at least do 30% of the work. I can try to deal with that for now.

"Mitchie Torres…Shane Gray." Mrs. Lee said snapping me out of my thoughts.

Are you kidding me? I thought to myself as I slapped my forehead.

Let me just tell you a little bit about Shane Gray.

His ego is bigger than the Eiffel Tower. He is captain of the football team. He's a total jock, and a jerk. All he wants to do is party and make out with girls but his attitude which makes him thing he's the king still gets girls to drool…and cry…over him.

Basically every girl in school wants to kiss Shane Gray…except me. So why did I get the wonderful privaledge of getting to work with him?

As the bell rang I just picked up my things and angrily walked out of the room toward my locker. Unfortunately, I wasn't alone.

"What do you want Shane?" I said annoyed.

"So, uh…we're partners." He said smirking.

"Yeah. Lucky me." I said sarcastically now facing him as I closed my locker.

"I feel pretty lucky." He said flirtatiously as he put his hands around my hips moving closer to me.

I just rolled my eyes pushing his hands off of me.

"Look…" I started.

"I'm looking." He said smirking, checking me out as I just rolled my eyes again.

" Shane. We were partnered for a science project. That's all. I am not going to be used by another guy just looking for an A for once in his life. You are going to put in the same amount of effort as me, okay?"

"Okay." He said defeated. "So, then, you want to come over today to start working on the project?"

"Okay."

"Come around 5?"

"Sure."

"Okay…I'll text you?" He said reaching out his hand with his phone reluctantly.

"Sure." I said as I added my cell number to his phone.

"Okay. See you later." And with that…he walked away.

This was going to be interesting.

I walked up the stairs of Shane's house as I rang the doorbell. Immediately Shane came to answer the door.

"Hi." He said with a smile on his face.

"Hello." I said trying to fake a smile.

"You look great."

Oh boy. I thought to myself.

"Thanks." I said rolling my eyes as I passed by him putting my things down.

"I have everything set up in the living room." He said.

Nobody was home so it was really quiet. I guess that's a plus because first off I can't stand doing schoolwork with noise around, and second I wouldn't even want to see the parents of Shane. God only knows what they are like.

We pulled two chairs up to the desk in the room as I opened our textbook.

"So, what were you thinking of doing for an experiment?" I said turning to face him.

"You know, you have gorgeous eyes." He said looking deep into my eyes.

"Oh my god" I said looking back down at the textbook flipping through some pages as I tried to continue.

"Okay, Shane, so what do you think about using Chapter 3 to…" I started, but he cut me off again.

"Okay. Why do you hate me so much?" Shane asked me.

"I never said that." I mumbled not even able to look him in the eyes.

"Yeah, but you didn't have to. What do you have against me?" He said, as I recognized some hurt in his eyes.

I sighed before answering. "I know you're probably not used to people not liking you because of all the girls in our school, but I don't like the type of guys who only want to use girls to get one thing, and think that they are gorgeous, think that they rule the world, don't care how they treat people…"

"Okay, okay, I get it. But still, you don't know me. How do you know that I fit that stereotype?" He asked me.

"Please, Shane. It doesn't take a rocket scientist."

"You know what I think?"

I sighed. "What do you think?" I said as more of a statement just pretending to go along with it.

"I think that you really don't hate me. You're probably just looking for excuses not to like me because of how girls like me at school or something. Maybe you're just jealous…Maybe you actually like me!" He said with a face that made him look like he was Jimmy Neutron having a brain blast.

I started cracking up. "Okay…I like you…sure…" I said sarcastically.

"You have an adorable laugh." He said when I calmed down.

"Oh my god, Shane. If you are trying to hit on me just so I'll do all this work for you or something…"

"I'm not! I swear!" He said getting defensive. I think he was offended by this comment too.

"Okay, I'm sorry." I said apologizing.

"It's okay. But, I'm still convinced that you don't hate me." Shane said teasing me.

"Shane, would you please…"

He cut me off by crashing down on my lips. He cupped my cheek in his hand as I felt that he put a lot into that kiss. Surprisingly, I didn't even pull away. I even put effort into the kiss too. I don't know what came over me. His kiss just made my complete body turn to mush and my lips were so vulnerable. He put his tongue to my bottom lip asking for entrance which I granted. That was a big mistake. His tongue went into my mouth as he just explored. This went on for a while until we both needed air.

I took a deep breath comprehended what had just happened. I just made out with Shane Gray…Why did I do that? I hate Shane Gray…don't I?

The only problem is that I have no excuse for that kiss. Because he didn't just kiss me, I kissed him back.

"I told you that I knew you really didn't hate me." He said smirking looking deep into my eyes.

There was a moment of silence because I truly didn't even know how to respond to that. Then Shane broke the silence.

"Well, I guess if you don't hate me then…" He said moving closer to me before he continued.

"Then you won't mind if I do this…" He said pushing me back on my chair kissing me senseless.
