I was just walking by my locker in the middle of class going to get a book that I forgot in the morning. Someone came fast behind me and pinned me up against the locker.

" What do you want Shane?"

"Are you voting for me?" he responded.

Let me back this up a little bit. Shane Gray is a guy who goes to my school. He is quite possibly the most conceited egotistical cocky musician I've ever met. He thinks that he can get any girl he wants because he's "gorgeous and irresistible" as he says. Basically we're in each other's company because we have drama class together.

Every year in drama class we put on a ginormous play that we actually perform at the end of the year. Since it's toward the middle of the year, we finished skills and we're starting to work on the play. Every year, to decide fairly who gets main roles and what not, the class votes. Shane having the confidence that he does, wants to have the male lead. (Shocker) So, back to where I was before.

I was just walking by my locker in the middle of class going to get a book that I forgot in the morning. Someone came fast behind me and pinned me up against the locker.

"What do you want Shane?"

"Are you voting for me?" he responded.

"Shane…I'm voting for who I think truly deserves the part."

"What can I do to change your mind?" he said smirking.

"What are you talking about?" I said narrowing my eyes.

"Something like this." He said as he quickly locked his lips with mine.

As fast as I could I turned my head and moved out of his direction. Eventually he let go.

"Shane…what are you doing? First of all, just because you kiss me doesn't mean I'm going to vote for you. You think that you can just do whatever you want to any girl that you please, and that they fill fall head over heels for you. You picked the wrong girl. Second of all, we are in the middle of a high school hallway. You don't think there are students and teachers around that can see us?" I said annoyed at him. Let me add in, he still has me pinned against the lockers.

"Please. No one can see us."

"Oh yeah, then what about her? I said pointing behind him. He immediately turned around as I escaped and starting running away down the hall.

"Idiot…" I mumbled under my breath, satisfied with myself.

"Not over Mitch…" he said chuckling to himself.

By the way, he always calls me "Mitch." It's one of those things with him thinking he can treat girls however he wants to. He thinks he can call me whatever he wants. My name is MITCHIE. M-I-T-C-H-I-E.

Lucky for me, (sarcasm intended) the next class after that whole incident was drama. Hooray! (More sarcasm intended) But, I tried not to let him bother me because I really liked drama class. And, roles in the play were being announced today.

As the bell rang, I quickly scurried down the long hallways to Room 127. I eagerly took a seat as I heard all my classmates talking excitedly to their friends about the roles. As soon as we entered we had to fill out the voting slips and put them in the box so she could announce everyone's parts, explain the play and all that stuff.

Just in case you're wondering, I didn't vote for Shane. He did not deserve a leading role. I voted for a kid in my class named Charlie. He works really hard and he is dedicated to acting. That's the field he wants to have a career in.

"Now…for the leading roles…" my teacher said as I sat up in my chair smiling excitedly.

"Drum roll please…" she said dragging the results out.

"For our female lead…that you kids have voted for yourselves…

Mitchie Torres!"

Yay!!! I was so incredibly excited. Last year I didn't really have a main role. I wasn't an extra or anything, but I've always wanted to be the lead. I was interested to see who my leading male would be. I worried a little bit when I thought of Shane, who sort of dulled my excitement but I tried to brush it off of my shoulder when I thought about how many people could have possibly voted for Shane.

"And…for our leading male… Ms. Bruno said

The one and only….Shane Gray!

WHAT?!

No way. You mean that I have to actually work with….that?

In case you didn't understand it, I'm pointing to Shane in theory.

Shane looked over at me, smirked and winked. Oh boy. This should be interesting to say the least. Ms. Bruno started explaining the play saying basically that she didn't want to give us too much information ahead of time because she was also going to hand out the scripts today, but it's a….

"Romance! Isn't this going to be wonderful?" She said.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Romance? With…that? (I'm pointing to Shane again…in theory.)

There is no way that I am doing a romantic play as the leading role with the obnoxious Shane Gray. However, I just tried to contain myself so I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes sitting back in my chair. Ms. Bruno began to pass out the scripts and she gave us 15 minutes to read them through silently to ourselves to get some background. The whole thing wasn't really that bad. It was sort of gushy at some points, but it wasn't really that horrible. Until…Act 2. Scene 4.

I have to kiss Shane?!
