It was after Final Jam and I was walking towards the dock to meet Shane for a canoe ride. I was thinking about all the huge mistakes I made. It was all just because I wanted to fit in. When I got to the docks, Shane was there waiting for me. "Took you long enough" he said when I came up. "Jerk!" I replied." Let's get in one of these things" he said as he grabbed my hand and led me to the canoes. We got in and when we got in the middle of the lake we started spinning in circles, again. "Why did you lie?" he asked me. I knew this question was coming."I just wanted to fit in and be popular for once in my life. At home I have one friend. I wanted things to be different." I answered. When I finished he had this thoughtful look on his face. "Its kinda weird how things turned out, don't ya think," he said, "I mean first I fell for the girl with the voice, but then I fall for you. As it turns out I didn't have to choose." Is he saying what I think he is saying!? "I-I..um…I-" he started but I interrupted him saying "Just spit it out Shane." "Mitchie I really like you. Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked. I stopped in shock. Shane Gray, the Shane Gray, wanted ME, plain boring old Mitchie Torrez, to be his girlfriend. "Its okay if you don't like me that way, I mean it was kinda sudden…" he said. "Stop" I said,"I like you very muck, too. And yes, I will be your girlfriend." He smiled and started to lean in. right when our lips touched the canoe start leaning and tipped over. When we surfaced again, he pulled me close for a real kiss. "Mitchie!"was called from the dock. It was my mom."Uhoh. We better get back" I said "Do we have to?" he wined. "Yes. I might already be in trouble because of you. I don't want more."I replied. "I'm Sorry." He said as we climbed back into the boat. "Its fine" I told him as we slowly made our way back to shore while going in circles. My mom looked at me and immediately saw my wet clothes. She looked at me sternly and said "What happened to you?" "We kinda fell in" I said while grinning. "Well you need to get out of these clothes before you get sick." I gave her a look that said can you leave us alone I wont be long. "Don't be long Mitchie."she said "I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked him."Of course, do you think I could live without seeing my beautiful girlfriend before she leaves?" I grinned at him as a blush crept onto my cheeks. We walked hand in hand to my cabin and he gave me one last kiss as a goodnight. I was grinning like crazy as I walked in. My mom noticed and smirked at me. "I gave your alone time now go change. We need to talk." She said while smirking. I quickly changed and showered and hurried back out to my mom.
When I got back Caitlyn was sitting there waiting for me. "So, what happened?" she asked me. "With what?" I asked. "You know what I'm talking about. Besides you were going to have to tell me anyway tomorrow. I'm saving you time so you can spend it with Shane." She retorted. "Fine, I'll tell you." I said. I then told them everything we talked about and finished with falling in the lake. "well, It's about time." My mom said. "I can see you really like him. I could tell the day you walked in here with the huge smile on your face after talking to him. I really like him so you can date him, but I don't know what your father will say about him." " Thank you so much mom."I replied. I ran up and gave her a huge hug. "I think you guys are really cute together." Caitlyn said. "But Shane's nowhere near as hot as Nate." "I think someone's jealous."I replied. "Me? Jelous? Why?" she replied. "Because some people don't have a popstar boyfriend." "Who said I didn't." she said before clapping her hand over her mouth. "Okay. Spill. Now" I said. She told me that while me and Shane were gone her and Nate decided to hang out. Before Connect 3 got signed Caitlyn and Nate used to hang out at camp all the time. When they got signed he didn't really have time for camp any more. They slowly lost contact because Caitlyn moves around so much. She really liked him. Apparently, Nate did, too. Nate told her how much he missed hanging out with her. She said that they should do it more often and Nate asked her to be her girlfriend. "And of Course I said yes." She said at the end of her story. "I'm so happy for you!" I Exclaimed. "Okay girls time to go to bed." My mom said. Caitlyn was staying in my cabin tonight because it was the last night. We climbed into bed and fell asleep with smiles on our faces.
