Chapter One
Calm silence filled around them, the only noise that could be heard was the chirping of birds and sounds of other insects around the camp. The pair sat in silence taking in the beautiful view of the camp around them. It was a shame that they would not see this anymore, at least not until next summer. Final Jam had finished two hours ago everyone had cleared out, preparing to leave the next morning. Mitchie and Shane had decided to spend the last few hours together as they would not be seeing a lot of each other for a long time.
"Hey Mitchie?" Shane asked.
"Hmm?" She muttered, her eyes closed with her back against him.
"How about that canoe ride?" Shane asked the beautiful girl sitting in front of him.
"That would be nice." Mitchie said grinning up at him. Shane smiled as he helped her stand up, both of them walking towards the pier. Shane cautiously grabbed her hand and linked it with his; unsure of how she might react. This was new to him, usually it would be girls falling for him, this time it was him. He was falling for this amazing girl in front of him. To his surprise, she did not pull her hand away; instead she blushed and looked away from him.
He helped her into the canoe as the boat trembled at the sudden weight of them both. Once again the two rowed out into the lake.
"You know I don't think that we are doing this right." Mitchie giggled as they found them selves in 'déjà vu'. They still hadn't learnt how to row properly for the last time they were out here. Yet again they found themselves going in circles.
"Now where's the fun in that?" Shane asked teasingly.
"It's probably me, I'm such a klutz." Mitchie admitted.
"Hey now, don't say that. We all have our careless times." Shane told her sincerely.
"Yes, but not me, I'm like that all the time." She replied emphasising on all.
"That's not true. But I know a way that I can help you." He told her.
"Yeah? What?" She asked him.
"Stand up." He said. Mitchie looked at him confused.
"What?" She asked.
"Stand up." He replied simply. Unsurely she stood up. He followed her motions. Carefully, he led her to the front of the boat. Mitchie shivered as she felt him right behind her; her back pressed up against him. "Spread your arms out wide." He told her. Gently he lifted her arms and spread them out wide; like an eagle. Suddenly the boat stopped wobbling.
"Wow." Mitchie breathed. Shane never let go of her arms. Since his arms were longer than hers, their hands were linked. She could feel him breathing next to her. His short, sharp breaths blowing at her hair and neck. His chest rising up and down against her back. The feeling was phenomenal. Mitchie was sure that she had never felt this way with a guy before. Her mind was in turmoil. She had so many emotions rushing through her. Chills sent down her spine, whilst her body heated up at the closeness between her and the guy who meant the world to her. Huge adrenaline rushes swept through her body. She could not help but sigh in content.
Of course, being her clumsy self she had to spoil the amazing moment. As she tried to step back from the very edge of the boat, for a second, she had forgotten that Shane was behind her. The sudden movement had taken him by surprise. Both of the collapsed and fell on the boat. The boat tumbled and rocked viciously, luckily it did not tip over. However, Mitchie found herself in an awkward position.
She was underneath Shane as he was on top of her. Their legs were tangled and foreheads were touching. Slowly, unknown to themselves they started to lean in. Their lips centimetres away when Shane decided to close it. Even though the kiss lasted for milliseconds, both felt sparks. It was meant to be. Shane lifted himself off Mitchie a bit, so that he was not squishing her with his weight. Both of them blushed as none of them knew what to say.
Shane knew that she was the girl. The girl who was made for him. The one who would be his soul mate, as cheesy as that may sound.
"Well I guess for once, you can thank your clumsiness." Shane teased the young girl. She blushed profusely. She gently slapped him on the arm. As her hand was retreating, Shane grabbed it and joined hands with her. He rolled over to his side so that he wasn't hovering over her anymore. Because he still had a tight grip on her hand, this caused her to turn with him so that she was facing him.
Shane took in the appearance of the girl in front of him. She was beautiful, even if she did not believe it.
"You're beautiful you know that?" He asked her quietly. So quiet that it was barely audible.
"Stop it, I am not." She argued, blushing once again. Mentally she was slapping her self. This boy made her blush so many times that she had lost count of it.
"Yes.You.Are." He told her as he kissed her again. This time the kiss lasted a lot longer than before. It was Mitchie's turn to pull back, only because she needed the air, otherwise who wouldn't have. She was kissing America's hottest band's lead singer. What girl would give up that opportunity?
"Shane? What does this make us?" She asked him quietly. When he did not respond, she thought that she had asked the wrong thing. She looked up to apologise, but was met by his lips.
"Well; I was going to ask this sooner or later. Sooner it is then. Mitchie Torres, would you do the honour of being my girlfriend?" Shane asked her. Mitchie was speechless. She had not seen that one coming. Shane Adam Grey was asking her, the ordinary, nobody, Mitchie Torres to be his girlfriend? Wow. She was dreaming. She pinched herself and winced when it stung. Shane chuckled quietly.
"You serious?" She asked him in disbelief.
"Yes, unless you don't feel the same way." Shane replied. "I mean I understand if you want to be only friends." He told her sincerely but she could see the hope in his eyes.
"No! I mean yes! I mean … Shane I'd love to be your girlfriend." She replied. Shane grinned widely.
"Great!" he exclaimed kissing her sensually. "-but Mitchie;" he stated pulling away from the kiss. "I want you to know that dating me comes with consequences. There will be press; you will be on the news, and a whole load of other stuff that isn't so great." Shane warned her.
"Shane. I am not ready to announce our relationship publicly… yet." She told him. "I mean we're only dating for like 5 minutes now. I want to take this slowly. I will tell you when I am ready, but not now please?" She requested.
"That's fine with me babe. I am not going to pressurise you into anything." Shane told her. Mitchie smiled giddily when he called her babe.
"You are the best." She exclaimed.
"I know." He replied cockily. This earned him a slap from Mitchie, though it was not very hard.
"And I want you to know that, you are my first boyfriend." Mitchie told him blushing.
"And I don't expect anything from you Mitchie. Just be there for me. Be my inspiration. Be the only girl who matters in my eyes. I will be your first and only boyfriend Mitchie." He told her seriously. Mitchie smiled gently and pecked him on the cheek. The two hugged and stayed lying down on the canoe staring at the stars.
"Shane, not to ruin the moment or anything, but I need to get back. My parents are probably wondering where I am and it's getting late. I need to pack." She told him sadly.
"That's fine. Come on." He helped her up. The two rowed to shore a lot quicker and better than before. They weren't going in circles anymore.
"Wait a minute. It was you all along. You were the one who was rowing to make us go in circles!" Mitchie exclaimed as she realised.
"Like I said, where's the fun in that?" He asked her cheekily as he led her to her cabin. Their hands intertwined again.
"Shane, are you alright?" Mitchie asked him as they arrived at her cabin. Mitchie had noticed that Shane remained relatively silent throughout their walk to the cabin.
"What? Yeah. Sorry." He apologised. "It's just overwhelming that the two girls that I've been crushing on throughout the whole of this summer turned out to be just one girl." He smiled gently at her as she turned away blushing.
"Hey Mitchie, listen." Shane asked. Mitchie looked up and connected eyes with him. "That day after beach jam, it was, I didn't mean what I said. I was angry that you lied, but after I talked to the guys I realised that I was harsh. I never meant to hurt you. I was just angry that my mystery girl hadn't confronted herself to me. When all the time, it was you." Shane said sincerely looking down at her. His eyes portraying regret. "I just wish that instead of being angry with you, I could have spent that time getting to know you better."
"Shane." Mitchie sighed looking up at her boyfriend. She cupped his cheek with her hand. "It wasn't your fault. I shouldn't have tried to be someone who I wasn't and am never going to be. I just wanted to fit in, be cool for once. I knew that sooner or later that everyone will find out the real me. I guess I was just hoping that it was later than sooner." Mitchie told him. "Don't beat yourself up about it."
"But you never told me personally that you were the daughter of the President of HotTunes. I overheard people talking about it. I never really asked you in person. I just assumed… and don't you dare think that Mitchie Torres is not good enough. I like you the way you are." Shane admitted.
"That's really sweet Shane, but you don't know what it's like living in the dark. Where you only have one friend. Where people judge you for the way you look."
"Mitchie, I find it hard to believe that you only have one friend, because you are one amazing girl. Guys don't know what they missed; because I never plan on letting you go. And don't let anyone tell you that you are not pretty Mitchie. Because you are beautiful in my eyes." Shane told her leaning down and softly kissing her on the cheek. Mitchie smiled sweetly at him. She was so lucky. She wouldn't have asked for a better guy to be her boyfriend. Every time he was around her she felt butterflies in her stomach.
"You know, I am going to miss this." Mitchie admitted. Even though she did not want to believe it, summer was over. She was going back home, back to being a nobody, where here, she has the best boyfriend ever and more than one friend.
"Let's not think about it until tomorrow." Shane told her sadly.
"Uh Shane, it is tomorrow." Mitchie told him pointing to his watch whilst giggling. It was past 1:00am in the morning.
"Wow. I guess time flies when you are with a girl you really like." Shane told her twisting the words at the end. Mitchie blushed again.
"Stop it." She scolded him.
"Stop what?" He asked confused.
"Stop making me blush!" She exclaimed. Shane grinned as she blushed again.
"Why? I love the fact that I am the only one who can make you blush; besides, you look cute when you blush." Shane told her. He grinned again when she nuzzled her face into his chest trying to hide her beetroot red cheeks.
"I really think that you need to go Mitchie. Your parents are probably freaking out." Shane told her pulling her face away from his chest. She nodded sadly.
"I'll see you in a couple of hours." She told him. They started to walk away from each other.
"Shane!" Mitchie called. Before Shane could register what was happening, Mitchie ran to him and kissed him. He was taken by surprise but he wasn't complaining. He kissed back with the same amount of passion.
"Bye." She breathed as she ran into the cabin not waiting for his reply. He grinned at the closed door before heading out himself.

Sorry for the wrong alert. After reading my story on live preview, I realised that there were so many mistakes, so I fixed them to make it better to read. :D I am working on Chapter 2 as well as my other stories; expect an update in a couple of days. Also does anyone know why I am not receiving Story, Favourite, and Review Alerts? I checked on my account and everything is enables and the email address is correct. I am a bit confused : S
OK guys, first chapter. What do you think? Do you want me to carry on? Tell me whilst clicking on that review button.
I also would like to say that I am sorry for not updating on Arranged Marriage. I am really bad and I feel awful. I have no idea what to write, who should say what? It is a huge author's block that I have been working on for weeks. On top of that my Core Science GCSE result arrived, not the best but I got an A and two Bs. So I guess that it will have to do. On top of that I have three courseworks already, IT, Graphics, and Geography that are due for next week. This is terrible, because school was only on for two days since it started on Thursday. Let me tell you, it SUCKS! So please do not expect huge updates from me because it is very hard to handle school work and cyber work. I will update time to time, but now my main focus will be school, though in my free time, I will work on my existing stories and this one as well.
I will only continue this story if people wasn't me to otherwise it will be deleted if a lot of people do not like it. Seeing as I already have three other stories to finish. I'm expecting at least
20 reviews
if I should continue this story. Otherwise it has been fun writing this chapter. :D
Love you all
