Another Beginning
Shane's Point of View
My foot was tapping, impatiently. Nate shot me another annoyed look. I just started tapping my foot faster. Now my fingers started drumming on my leg as I looked out the window, again, and looked at my watch, again. Nate shot yet another annoyed look at me. It was then that I realized I was humming "This is me." I stopped almost immediately. The limo stopped and the engine shut off. Before the driver could even get out, I threw open the door and jumped out. A quick glance around showed Mitchie by her mom's van, unpacking. I tried to run over to her but just then, Nate grabbed my arm. I shot him a death glare but he pulled me back in the limo.
"Unpack, then you can go talk to Mitchie," he scolded.
"Yes, Mom," I joked. I went to the trunk and grabbed a suitcase. When Nate had his back turned, I dropped the suitcase and made a dash for Mitchie. Laughing, I wrapped my arms around her waist.
"What's so funny?" she laughed.
"Nate," I said simply. She turned and saw Nate fuming. Something caught the corner of my eye. Someone was headed for Nate. I fought a smile as Meghan tapped Nate on the shoulder.
"Mitchie!" her mom called Mitchie over.
"I better go. I'll see you at dinner." With a quick peck on the cheek, she left to go help make dinner. I headed back to the limo, reluctantly. I knew Nate would make me pay. Boy was I right; I had to carry all of the suitcases to the cabin while Nate and Jason watched. When the last of the suitcases were finally in the cabin, it was dinner time. We all walked to the mess hall together. We sat at a table with Meghan, Mitchie, and Jason's new girlfriend, Kandi. Nate and Jason were arguing, once again, about building a birdhouse. We all laughed as Jason started begging.
Mitchie's Point of View
I laughed but I was barely paying attention anymore. I was watching Shane and thinking about the fact that we had all summer together. I watched as he doubled over in laughter. All I wanted was to hold him close. I grabbed his hand and squeezed. He glanced at me, smiled, and wrapped his arm around my waist. I smiled and went back to daydreaming about Shane.
An unfamiliar voice came out of nowhere and interrupted my daydreaming and Nate and Jason's argument. "Hey, Shane, long time no see."
His arm tightened around my waist.
Shane's Point of View
"Hey, Shane, long time no see." I recognized that voice immediately. I stiffened and felt my face go blank. Nate and Jason went instantly silent. They looked up with identical looks of shock on their faces. Mitchie, Meghan, and Kandi were looking between the 3 of us and the person behind me in confusion. I turned around in my seat, glared at her and said, "Go to hell, Lindsey."
