I'm feeling mighty productive this weekend! :P This is similar to the last one and it's not that good because I wrote it in one sitting. Oh well...But this is my first "teen" Smitchie story. :)

Disclaimer: Don't own Camp Rock or its characters.

Again, this is for P.K. & CheeChee (because we're all 'caught in a bad romance' :P) but mainly it's for CheeChee because she gave me the idea (Some guys deserve to be punched in the face sometimes).


FALL OVER ME

1. Mitchie

Mitchie sat at her desk at the back of the classroom, resting her head on her left hand, looking at the pictures in her chemistry textbook. She loved it. She loved science. She loved how it had a clear cut explanation for everything. Well, almost everything.

"Michelle Torres?" her teacher called her for the second time.

Mitchie woke up from her daze and immediately sat up straight. "Huh?"

"Principal Brown wants to see you."

All her classmates heads turn towards her.

"Uh-oh." she thought to herself. "What did I do?"

Scratch that thought. Mitchie knew why she was being called into the principal's office. She looked at the empty seat to her right. She winced as the absence of one very important person reminded her again of why Principal Brown wanted to see her.

She stood up and slowly walked towards the front, her classmates' gazes following her every step. Was she scared? She didn't know. Nervous? Probably. Yes, of course she was! Mitchie was not the type of student who frequented the principal's office. In fact, this was her first time. And she knew why. And she knew it was bad.


"Miss Torres, have a seat." Principal Brown said in a neutral voice.

"Thank you." Mitchie said, trying to sound confident.

"Miss Torres, do you know why you're here?"

Mitchie did not speak immediately. Should she say yes or act stupid?

"I think so." she finally replied, rubbing her palms on her denim jeans.

"I think you do." Principal Brown said, opening a folder. "Now you know we treat everyone here fair and square so I'm giving you a chance to explain your side, okay?"

Mitchie nodded her head.

"So did you really do it?"

Mitchie didn't move or say anything. But it was all too obvious.

"So why did you do it, Mitchie?"

A thousand reasons run through her head.

"He was your best friend."

"I know that!" Mitchie thought to herself.

"Mitchie?"

"Yes, Principal Brown." Mitchie said, looking up at him. "I did it." she added, staring him in the eye. "But I can totally explain why I did what I did. See, I know he's my best friend ever since time began but clearly, he doesn't know me very well. He doesn't know me as well as I know him. He's my best friend but I know he's a jerk. He thinks he's so much better than the rest of the other guys…the rest of us...just because he's some pop star. The truth is I don't really care. In fact, I think life would be less miserable if he wasn't around." She stopped and looked at Principal Brown, gauging his expression.

"Go on."

"Second, he treats people like they're not people. I know we've studied about the constitution and I always tell him to behave but he just wouldn't listen! Sometimes I think he grew up in a jungle or something. Someone just had to do something. Someone had to give him a taste of his own medicine. And that someone just happened to be me. His best friend. Third, he's really stupid. No. I'm not really sure. I don't know if he is plain stupid or just too cool for school. Or at least he thinks he is. I tried to tutor him like you and the guidance counselor suggested but it just wouldn't work. He can't hold up a pencil to save his life. He can't even name a place unless he had been there on tour or something. He's a hopeless case, Principal Brown." Mitchie said, shaking her head. "And fourth, he's a huge flirt! I'm sure he has flirted with every female in this school. Except me, of course! I mean, I'm his best friend. That would be so wrong."

Principal Brown just eyed her.

"He even flirts with the lunch lady! That's how big of a flirt he is. And I'm sure if a girl falls for his antics. Like really fall head over heels in love with him, he would totally break her heart into a gazillion little pieces. Sometimes I think, maybe he doesn't have one. A heart…Fifth, I'm only human. And I can only take so much inhumanity going on in this place. I don't know how I've put up with him for so long. But yesterday, I've had enough! We have problems of our own and he doesn't have to add up to those! Sixth, I'm a girl. I menstruate. It's not my fault. I know PMS doesn't sound like a feasible reason as to why I did what I did but it is. Ask any other girl."

Principal Brown was taken aback. "All right…would you like to say anything else?"

Mitchie thought for a moment. "Yes…One last reason. Because I'm a girl I have feelings. I'm not saying boys don't. But they're less sensitive. Take him for instance. Perfect example of insensitivity. Principal Brown…I did it because…I love him. And no, not as a friend. And he doesn't know that - I love him. I probably have since the first time I saw him. The things I've said before are probably all lies because to me, he's nothing but perfect. I don't really care if he's a superstar or not. But I know, for me, he's always going to be better than the rest of the boys in this school. Or in the entire universe for that matter. He's been treating me like I was invisible for as long as I can remember but for some reason, I just adore him more and more each day. I don't understand why. I thought one can have control over her feelings but obviously, that's not the case for me. And I secretly think it's cute when he acts all stupid and foolish. When I'm around him, I laugh inside. And when I get home, it's all I ever think about – what stupid but cute thing he did today…and of course, him. His hair which he doesn't seem to really spend much time on but still manages to look amazing. His smile. Just a hint of those pearly whites would totally make my day. And his eyes…I can totally understand why all the girls, even the lunch lady, can fall for him. I know I did. Maybe he really is stupid? Because it's been so long and he still doesn't know. He still hasn't noticed. Why the hell would I stay up all night so I could watch him rehearse?! Or make him copy my notes…even my test answers?! Or do his homework?! Or…But he's really not stupid! He's got a lot of brilliant ideas inside that head of his…Maybe I'm just jealous. Because he never flirts with me. Because I'm just his best friend." Mitchie spat out the last two words.

"So I had to do it. Haven't you heard of the saying 'the more you hate, the more you love?' I guess that's the way I feel about him. I hate how I love him. Because I know he doesn't feel the same way. I know what rejection feels like but this feels worse. Because he doesn't even know yet and I already feel rejected. But I don't want to go out and tell him how I really feel. I'm not that strong. God! He's so near yet so far. It's so frustrating! He hasn't paid an ounce of attention to me in the way that I would like but he has already managed to break my heart. Not my just my heart. But me…Maybe I did it because…because maybe then he'd finally notice me. Maybe he'd finally see what's been going on for so long now…Or maybe I just wanted to get close to him. Not that I'm not. But I just had to be close to him. Even if it's just physically. Even if it was just for a few seconds. Even if it was just our feet…You see, Principal Brown, I put my foot out there as he was walking past and I tripped him…Because that's the only way I knew I could make him fall over me..."

Principal Brown just looked at her in shock "Teenagers…" he thought to himself.

"I can totally understand if you're going to punish me." Mitchie said, stifling a cry. She was really sorry for what she did.

"Yes, I do have a punishment for you." Principal Brown said standing up, putting his hands in the pockets of his pants.

Mitchie looked up at him.

"Go to Shane…and tell him every single thing that you told me."
