A/N: So I felt like writing a valentines smitchie oneshot. I hope you like it!! It has no correlation to 'Cyber Trouble'
"I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings be a valentino just for you." – Queen
Mitchie sat in her desk, drumming her fingernails quietly on the hard surface. She took a glance up at the clock at the side of the room. 8:30. It was only second period, she had the whole day ahead of her. She half listened to the teacher standing in front of the classroom droning on and on about the sine and cosine of theta. She knew she should have been paying attention but found it nearly impossible to concentrate.
She looked down at her paper and saw that she had doodled a bunch of hearts all over it. She smiled when she saw that she had even written his name in one of the hearts. She traced her pencil over the five letter word to accentuate every letter.
You see that day was Valentine's day. It was day when couples all over celebrated their love for each other. For some couples it was a start for their relationship. And for others it was a start for a marriage.
All around school, girls carried roses, boxes of candy, teddy bears, cards, all given to them by their loving boyfriends. Couples held hands and walked through the hallway giving each other loving looks and even daring couples would kiss each other in the middle of the hallway.
But Mitchie, no, she was not like those couples. Because you see, her boyfriend was Pop Star Shane Gray and even on Valentine's Day he was busy. He had called earlier in the morning to wish her a Happy Valentine's day and to tell her that he loved her. He told her he couldn't talk for long and after a few minutes talking, he left, saying he would talk to her later.
So now Mitchie was alone and could only watch the happy couples in bitterness. It was times like this when she wished Shane wasn't a famous Pop Star. But then she reminded her self that if he wasn't famous then she never would have met him and she wouldn't even have a valentine or a boyfriend.
"Mitchie?"
"Huh?" She looked up from her doodles and at Mr. Lovenda who was looking at her expectantly. She glanced around the classroom and saw everyone staring at her and assumed that she had been asked a question.
"Can you answer the question please?"
"Uhm.." She looked at the board to see if there were any clues to what the question would be. There wasn't. "Well um…"
She was cut off by the sound of the bell. She sighed in relief. Saved by the bell.
Mr. Lovenda closed his book and said that they would continue the lesson the next day. Mitchie closed her notebook and put it away in her bag. She slung her bag over her shoulder and rushed out of the classroom. She hurried to her next class hoping that if she did rush that the day would be over quicker and she could talk to Shane.
She entered her English classroom and saw her best friend Sierra already seated in her seat. She waved to her and Sierra waved back. Mitchie walked over to her and sat in the seat next to her. "Hey Sierra."
"Hey Mitchie." Sierra greeted happily. "So did you do the homework?"
Mitchie nodded and then groaned. "I stayed up late doing it though."
Sierra raised her eyebrows knowingly and smirked. "Talking to Shane all night?"
Mitchie blushed and bit her lip. "Maybe."
Sierra laughed. "I don't blame you though, you have to talk sometime right?"
Mitchie nodded, sighing softly. "Unfortunately eleven at night is the only time he's available to talk. But he was actually early last night, he called me at ten and we talked until around eleven fifteen and then he told me that I had to do my homework and got off."
"Aww." Sierra smiled. "What a good boyfriend he is."
Mitchie smiled softly and hummed in contentment. "Indeed he is."
The bell rung signaling the start of the period and the teacher Mrs. Homan walked into the room.
"Alright children please take out your books, we will be reading chapter two today." She instructed.
Mitchie took out her copy of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and opened up to chapter two.
They were halfway through chapter three when the phone rang. Mrs. Homan paused in her reading and went to answer the phone. After she hung up with whoever was on the phone she looked to Mitchie.
"Mitchie there's something in the office for you." She told her. "You may go pick it up now."
Mitchie was surprised. She didn't think her mom was going to drop off anything. She thanked Mrs. Homan and walked out of the classroom. As she was walking down the hallway she wondered what it could be.
She entered the main office and walked up to the desk. On the desk she saw a single yellow rose wrapped in white tissue paper with a little card tied around it that said her name. She picked it up and then left the office, waiting until she got back to the classroom to see who it was from, although she had a pretty good idea anyway.
She walked back into the classroom and took her seat. Sierra gave the rose a questioning look and Mitchie shrugged.
She opened the little card attached to the rose and smiled. She was right.
Mitchie
Yellow for friendship because underneath it all you are my best friend.
Shane
She closed the card and looked at Sierra and mouthed 'Shane'. Sierra silently 'awwed' and Mitchie smiled and then turned back to her book.
Her day continued as slow as it did before. After English she had Gym and that seemed to drag on forever. And she didn't even have Sierra to keep her company and entertained.
After Gym she had History. She trudged her way up all the way to the third floor of her school building where her History class was located. She made it into the classroom about two seconds before the bell rang. She took a seat just as the teacher was telling them to open their textbooks.
Mitchie slumped in her seat and opened her textbook to the page instructed and almost had to laugh at what they were learning that day. The Great Depression. Well wasn't that just a reflection of what she was feeling that day?
Okay…so it wasn't so bad to be called a Great Depression or to be compared to the Great Depression but she was still feeling pretty bad. The only thing that stirred some joy in her heart was the yellow rose resting on the desk.
The teacher started a slideshow presentation for them to take notes on.
Halfway through the period the phone rang. The teacher continued to teach as he walked over to the phone and only paused to answer the phone.
Mitchie looked up from her notebook to stare at the teacher wondering if it was another phone call for her. The teacher nodded a few times and then hung up the phone. He turned to Mitchie. "Mitchie there's something in the office for you."
Mitchie felt her lips curve up in a smile and rose from her seat.
She walked down to the office and once again found a rose on the main desk. Except this time there were two roses, one pink, and one peach. As she grabbed the gift, the secretary working at the desk, gave her a knowing smile. At her smile, Mitchie had to wonder, did Shane come into the office every time to deliver the roses?
Mitchie smiled politely back at the woman and then headed back to her class. On the way to her class, she walked slowly to read the card.
Pink and Peach for Appreciation and Admiration. You don't know how much I appreciate having you in my life Mitchie, you've done things for me that I could never have imagined doing myself. And I admire you Mitchie, for your beauty, inside and out, for your talent, for your intelligence, for everything.
Shane
She felt a grin pass her lips and she hugged the roses to her chest and continued the rest of the way to her classroom. When she got back to the classroom she found that they were done with notes and were now answering questions in the textbook. She saw kids who were in her English class giving her and the roses questioning looks. She could only smile and ignore them. It didn't matter what they thought, all that mattered was Shane.
She did her class work for the rest of the time, occasionally glancing over at the three roses on her desk and smiling softly. About thirty seconds before the bell rang she handed in her paper and then packed up her stuff.
When the bell rang she practically high tailed it out of the classroom and down to the first floor towards the cafeteria.
She met Sierra and a couple of her friends from chorus and they took a seat towards the entrance. Sierra gasped once she saw the two extra roses that were now in Mitchie's hands.
"You got more?" She asked and Mitchie nodded.
Her friends, Kim and Christine, noticed the roses and started fawning over them.
"Ooh!" Kim smirked as she leaned over to get a better look at them. "Who're they from? Do you have a secret admirer?"
Mitchie grinned and shook her head. "No I have a boyfriend. But he doesn't go here so he sent me these."
"Let me see!" Christine exclaimed and Mitchie handed over the roses to her. Kim and Christine read over the notes that Shane left.
"Aww!" They cried after reading them.
"He sounds so sweet!" Kim said and Mitchie nodded with a smile.
"He is."
The girls giggled and then got up to get their lunch.
Even though they weren't all in the same class, they all had the same teacher for English, and they were discussing how hard the English homework was last night.
"And what was up with question number 5?" Kim asked looking at her friends. "Seriously, I didn't understand what it was asking."
"I know, me neither." Mitchie shook her head and took a last bite of her macaroni and cheese.
Suddenly the secretary from the office walked into the cafeteria and over to Mitchie's table.
The girls looked up at her and Mitchie stared at her curiously. The secretary smiled at her and produced another rose for her, white this time. Mitchie thanked her and took the rose. Sierra, Kim and Christine all stared at her with smiles on their faces.
"Another one?" Christine asked and Mitchie shrugged, biting her lip.
Mitchie opened the card and read it.
White for innocence and purity. You're my innocent flower and I love you for it.
Shane
Once again she was left with a grin on her face. Mitchie really was his innocent flower. Even after almost six months of being together, she was still shy around him when it came to being intimate. And she loved the other meaning of the white rose as well. Purity. She knew Shane had a purity ring and she wore one as well. Although she was almost fully convinced that Shane would be the one for her.
She handed it off to the girls and once again they 'awwed'.
After lunch they had chorus. Well, Mitchie, Kim and Christine did, Sierra had Math that period.
During the whole class Mitchie stared at the phone to see if it was going to ring. After about thirty minutes had gone by, she had given up that it would ring. Mitchie turned to the music on her lap and went over her part while the choir director went over the boys' part with them.
Then like a choir of angels, the phone rang. Mitchie's face lit up and she looked up from her music. The choir director walked over to phone, picked it up and Mitchie was halfway out of her seat. After a few seconds, the teacher hung up and walked back over to the boys. Mitchie's face dropped and she slumped back into her chair. Apparently, the phone call was not for her. She sighed quietly. She couldn't help it, she loved being spoiled by Shane, and even though it wasn't him or his voice, it was still him talking to her and she wanted to read more.
Just as the teacher was about to run the whole song from the top the phone rang again. She walked over to the phone and Mitchie looked up hopefully.
"Yes she is." The choir director said into the phone and then nodded a few times. "Very well I will send her down."
Mitchie grinned and started to stand up from her seat. The Choir director looked at her, smiled when she was Mitchie already out of her seat and just pointed towards the door.
Mitchie looked at Kim and Christine who were smiling at her and then walked out of the classroom.
She walked down the path to the main office. She entered and walked over to the main desk. Her eyes widened when she saw not one, not two, but twelve red roses waiting for her. She took them off of the desk and while walking out of the room, read the note attached.
Red for love and twelve because one rose could not even begin to hold all the love I feel for you.
Shane
She had to hold in a squeal when she read that. She didn't think she even held it in because the security guard watching the front entrance smirked at her. She blushed softly and headed back to chorus.
She got back to her seat and saw Kim and Christine staring at her and the roses wide eyed. She even saw the girls next to her and around her eyeing the roses. She placed them carefully on the empty chair next to her with the other four.
Within five minutes the period was over and Mitchie was glad that there was only one period left in the day. But that's not the only thing that excited her. With each proceeding period, the roses have gotten more meaning to them and she couldn't wait to see what this period held in store for her.
She got to her Chemistry class and was practically jumping her seat the whole period. She tried to pay attention to the teacher saying something about ions but all she could think about was Shane.
And just as she had been waiting for, the phone rang. A few kids were had seen her get all the other roses turned toward her and she grinned. She knew what they were thinking. Who was the guy that was sending her all of these roses?
"Mitchie," The teacher said after she hung up the phone, "there's something down in the office for you." She said the line that had been drilled into Mitchie's head all day. But that was line she would never be sick of.
Mitchie hopped out of her seat and practically ran downstairs. She entered the office and once again walked up to the desk. She frowned when she didn't see a rose on the desk and looked around. The secretary grinned at her from behind her desk, stood up, grabbed something off her desk and walked over to her.
Mitchie saw two roses in her hand. One red, one white. The Secretary handed it to her and Mitchie took it from her and smiled. "Thank you."
The secretary nodded and then headed back to her desk. "That boy really loves you." She stated and Mitchie felt her heart soar and she smiled. "This is the most romantic thing I've seen a teenager do for his girlfriend. You're a lucky young woman."
Mitchie smiled and let out a contented sigh and stared down at the roses. "I sure am." She looked back up at the secretary. "Thank you again."
She turned to leave and as she adjusted the roses in her hand, she felt something hard against her fingers. She looked down and saw a little bump under the tissue paper. She removed the tissue paper and gasped at what she saw. Attached to the rose via a red ribbon was a ring. She untied the ribbon carefully and took the ring off. She brought it up to eye level to see it. It was a silver band with two hearts linked together with three little diamonds on one of the hearts. Inside the band was inscribed 'forever yours'. She felt tears well up in her eyes. A promise ring, Shane had given her a promise ring. She quickly slipped it onto her finger and opened the card.
Red and White for unity because you and I belong together forever. You are my one and only Mitchie. I love you forever and always.
Happy Six Month Anniversary.
Shane
She gasped when she realized what the date was. Yes it was valentine's day but it was also February 14th, six months since August 14th which was the last day of camp, which was when Shane and Mitchie officially got together. She couldn't believe that she had forgotten.
She felt a tear roll down her cheek at the fact that Shane had remembered and had done such a romantic thing. She looked down at the promise ring on her ring ringer sparkling in the light and smiled. How she longed to be in Shane's arm right now, to hug him and kiss him and told him she loved him.
She went into the bathroom, examined her face in the mirror to see if it had been noticeable that she was crying. Her eyes were a little bloodshot so she splashed some water on her face and then finally headed back to her classroom.
She added the two roses to the other sixteen and let out a sigh. Class was almost over by that time so she just sat there examining her ring for the rest of the time.
Soon enough the bell rang and she piled out of the classroom with the other students. She walked to her locker to put away the books away that she didn't need for the day. As she closed her locker and was about to head out when a bunch of girls rushed past her rather rudely. She furrowed her brow in confusion. One girl turned around and called over her shoulder, "He's right outside Sam!" and then squealed.
Mitchie looked over her shoulder to "Sam" who picked up her speed and ran past Mitchie to catch up with her friends. They all squealed and ran down the hallway.
Who was outside? Mitchie wondered. And then she got a knowing feeling in her stomach. Shane had to be near to drop off the roses. And wherever screaming girls were, that meant Shane was. Mitchie felt her heart pick up speed at the thought of seeing her boyfriend and ran down the hallway after the rest of the girls.
She ran outside and saw half of the school's female population screaming and crowding and pushing each other. She squinted and tried to find where he was. And then finally she spotted him. There he was sitting on top of his limo with his guitar in his lap. He was obviously singing but there was so much screaming that she couldn't hear him.
She bolted across the lawn, pushing her self through the crowds ignoring the out cries of the teenagers. She finally got to the front and stood next to a girl who was trying to reach out for him.
..the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
She felt her breath catch in her chest when her eyes landed on him. He looked just as gorgeous as he did a few weeks ago when she last saw him. His handsome boyish face held a warm smile and his brown eyes twinkled in the sunlight as his dark hair fell over his forehead. She felt her heart flutter at hearing him sing their song just like she always did. There was just something about that song that made her crazy.
Shane's eyes seemed to wonder the crowd and they finally landed on her. For a split second he stopped singing but then picked it up again and broke out into a full fledged grin. Mitchie bit her lip and grinned back at him, lifted her hand in a wave.
It was then that Shane stopped singing, his grin widened, and he placed his guitar down on top of the limo and there was a collective groan from the audience. Shane didn't even look at the audience as he hopped off the roof of the car and walked straight for her.
Mitchie heard the girls around her squeal but all she saw was Shane and his gorgeous smile. He took her left hand in his and glanced down at the ring on her finger. She followed his line of vision and grinned when she saw what he was looking at. She lifted her head to look at his face and his eyes locked onto hers. Those two brown orbs showed so much love she couldn't help but melt. She gripped onto Shane's arm for balance and he reached out, placing his hand on her waist to steady her, their eyes never leaving one another's.
Shane's hand that was still holding hers moved slightly and his fingers intertwined with hers just as it had so many months ago at Final Jam. Only this time he did what he was too scared to do then.
"Happy Valentine's Day Mitchie." He whispered and then he leaned forward and kissed her.

I hope you enjoyed it and please review! I love feedback!!!!
