Moments: Chapter one: First Kiss

Mitchie Torres and Shane Gray sat in a canoe in the middle of Lake Melody. It was right after final Jam. The stars were shining brightly and the moon light encircled them in a pale spotlight. Neither of them was talking, just gazing into each other's eyes. Both thinking that this was a dream.

"Why did you do it?" Shane asked suddenly, almost ruining the mood. Mitchie looked down; she didn't even bother asking what "it" was. When she looked back a few tears were falling from her eyes.

"I just wanted to fit in for once." She mumbled quietly. "At home I only have one friend. I wanted to feel special and popular for once. Tess did that. She made me feel nice and like everyone liked me. Turns out, no one really did." Shane stared at her. Not believing that this girl was really that unpopular. She was so beautiful and friendly. She was kind and considerate and liked him, not Shane Gray the rock-star. He leaned over and gently wiped away the tears.

"Mitchie, here, at Camp Rock, no one cares how much money you have, well except Tess. Here, it's ok to be different and stand out. If you don't you won't make it anywhere. And as for not being special? I find that hard to believe. You are an amazing girl Mitchie. Your beautiful and kind and don't care what a person is. You're an amazing singer and have so much talent! You might even give Connect 3 a run for our money!" he said, chuckling slightly. Mitchie looked at him, her chocolate eyes shining brightly.

"Do you really think so?" Shane didn't even think before he replied.

"I know so." And with that he leaned in and lightly pressed his lips against hers. Both jumped a little when they felt a little shock run through their bodies as their lips connected. And both smiled as they felt as if fireworks were exploding in their minds. As Shane pulled away he looked her in the eyes. Both were grinning broadly.

"Wow." Was all they could say.

"Did you feel that?" Mitchie whispered, hesitantly.

"If you mean the fireworks in my mind, then yes, yes I did." he replied, still grinning.

Both smiled as they began the long task of trying to row ashore, still going in circles. And as they reached the shore, they were still smiling at that amazing first of many kisses.
