A/N EVERY CHAPTER WILL BE IN MITCHIE'S POV UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Prologue

This is the happiest moment of my life. I had dreamed about this moment forever and it was happening. Anyone who told me it wasn't possible, look at me now. I was in heaven. Dreaming really does come true. All the hard work finally paid off in this one moment, the moment that will dwell in my mind forever.

Chapter One

Me. Nothing special or ordinary about me, Michelle Torres (Mitchie for short.) I am just your average 16 year old sophomore in high school, brown hair, aquamarine eyes, and being short doesn't help with anything. I am only 5 foot 4 inches, the size of a 13 or 14 year old girl would be, not a 16 year old. I looked in the mirror and thought this to myself every morning before I went to school. I managed to get up and barely comb my hair, since no one cares how you look in an all-girl private school. I would soon head out the door, go to school, come home, do homework, shower, sleep, and start the whole thing over again like I did every day. But this morning I felt different like something good was going to happen, maybe something exciting. Ok, I'm hallucinating, I think something exciting is going to happen, yeah right.

I got into my 1995 navy blue Saturn, turned on the radio (which periodically worked because the car was junk) and slowly pulled out of my drive way heading for school once again. Luckily my radio worked and I was able to listen to my favorite talk show on FM 103.4 where they give out tickets, clothes, gift certificates, and my favorite prize, cars. What I wouldn't give for a new car, or at least a radio. This car was my dad's old car and he gave it to me for my 16th birthday. The car wasn't bad at first until I pulled into the driveway the first night I had it and bumped into the trash cans. They left a dent and screwed up my radio, but besides that the car was in decent shape. The seats were actually comfortable, which was a good thing since I needed some comfort before I sat in a rock hard chair for 7 hours.

While I was enjoying my 20 minute commute to school the radio station said they were giving out tickets to go to the premiere of "Connect 3 The Movie" in Hollywood. I was excited to hear that and I was going to test my luck on trying to win the tickets. I listened carefully as what to do and I heard ,

"All you have to do to win these amazing tickets and free round trip airfare is be the 27th caller starting at 4:05 today!" The announcer man said.

I was disappointed that I had to continue to look forward to something I probably wouldn't even win the whole day but I kept my hopes up and pulled into my school parking lot.

I put my car in park, grabbed my 35 pound back pack and got out of my car into the crisp autumn air. My friend Rachel was the first one to meet me at my car as I got my finished Science project out and slammed the trunk shut.

"Hey Mitchie! Is that your science project? It looks a lot better than mine, but you probably are smarter than me…" said Rachel.

Rachel kept talking but I toned her out because she was one of those girls that never shuts up but I still love her like my sister. The whole time while she was talking I could not stop thinking about the premier tickets to see "Connect 3 The Movie" and maybe seeing my favorite movie actor in the world Shane Gray. Shane Gray, the name just made me smile, Shane Gray. He was a 5'10 actor with short straight black hair. He had chocolate brown eyes and not to mention a six pack. He was extremely gorgeous and handsome. I figured if I won the tickets I would see him because he is the star of the movie "Connect 3 The Movie" so I wanted to win the tickets for the premier even more.

"That's the bell, bye!" said Rachel heading for the main circle staircase. I strolled after her not trying to catch up, but to try to keep my mind focused on what mattered most. Shane Gray.

I went to my first class and sat in my seat next to my lab partner Caitlyn. I was so happy to see her and tell her about the tickets and "Connect 3 The Movie" coming out soon. Caitlyn was the best person to talk to if you had problems because she knew when to listen and when to talk, and now she knew to listen. I told her everything, and she told me she would be coming over after school to help me win my tickets. I had pushed through science class, my presentation, lunch, math, and finally my last class reading. Reading was the most boring class ever. I was more of an acting type girl not a reading girl, so I didn't want to read but act. I was counting down the minutes until class was over, 15, 14, 13, 12, the minutes were too long. They were never going to end. I started to day dream about Shane Gray and before I knew it the bell rang and I had made it through reading but missed everything Ms. Tanner had said. I ran and got Caitlyn and we headed home.

We walked through the door of my one story ranch at 3:54 just in time to call the station. We sat down on the bed, both had the number typed into our cell phones ready to call when my sisters came in my room. "Annie, Ashley, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"We wanted to see if you wanted to come to see a movie with us? We are leaving now. You can come too Caitlyn." Said Ashley joyfully.

Ashley and Annie were twins and my sisters. Ashley was so nice sometimes it got on my nerves. Annie could be a little too sarcastic though, and for twins they weren't very much alike. "No we're good. We will stay here." I said quickly so I wouldn't change my mind. I could not risk losing these tickets no matter what that meant. They walked away and the clock switched to 4:05, it's time, it's time! We quickly punched send and listened for the announcer to answer.

"Mitchie, mine is busy" said Caitlyn, quickly dialing the number again.

" Me too." I snapped redialing.

I heard the phone not turn straight to busy but it started to ring. I felt my heart skip a beat. Then it was racing, I was sweating from the stress, I could feel it pounding in my ears. Then I think I stopped breathing when I heard on the voice other side of the phone, "Caller number 27? You have just won."
