"Yes. He asked me when I came home after school one day." Mitchie said, blushing a bright red.
"He came over?" Tess asked.
"No! He called me." Mitchie said.
"But really Mitchie, you're dating Shane Grey."
"So?"
"What do you mean so? It's awesome!" Caitlyn exclaimed. "Just think of the publicity you'll get! And with your voice..." Mitchie cut her off.
"I don't need publicity right now. I mean, I need to work on my voice."
"Mitchie, you don't need to work on your voice." Tess said sternly. Then a sharp knock tore through the air.
"Tess? I need some help! My bags are falling!" Ella called. Mitchie and Tess rushed over and took Ella's bags. They set them down on an empty bed.
"Whew, Ella. Your bags are heavy." Tess said.
"But look at this!" Ella said, pulling out a large box." Magazines!"
"No thanks." the girls said. "We already got our gossip fix."
"Omigosh!" Ella said, turning just in time to see Mitchie swat them both over their heads. "Mitchie? Omigosh you have to tell me!" Caitlyn and Tess both looked at Mitchie.
"You tell her Mitch." Tess said.
"Okay fine! Ella, I'm dating Shane. Happy girls?" They nodded their heads while Ella's mouth fell open.
"No way! Shane? Wow."
"I know. I couldn't believe it when I heard it." Tess said. A soft knock sounded through the air.
"Come in! It's open!" Mitchie called. The door opened and a girl came in.
"Hi. I'm Nicole." the girl said.
"I'm Mitchie and this is Ella, Caitlyn, and Tess." Mitchie said. Nicole had dark mahogany hair and vivid green eyes.
"Mitchie's dating Shane Grey!" Caitlyn said.
"Caitlyn!" Mitchie said. But too late. Nicole had heard her.
"The lead singer of Connect Three?" Nicole screamed.
"Yep, das de one!" Tess said. Then the girls heard a knock on the door.
"Shoot." Mitchie said, darting off.
"Come in." Tess yelled. Shane stepped into the cabin.
"Hey Ella, Caitlyn, Tess and...Who is this?" Shane said.
"This is Nicole, and Mitchie just ran over there." Tess said pointing, noticing Shane's eyes looking for Mitchie.
"Ah." Shane said. Mitchie darted back out, grabbed Shane's hand, and pulled him out.
"Wow. She's the pushy type." Nicole said.
"Nah. She's sweet and has a great voice. She just happened to be late for a date with Shane." All the girls laughed.
"Hey girls, listen to this." Caitlyn said. "This is Me" filled the room.
"Wow. Who is that?" Nicole asked.
"It's Smitchie!" Tess said.
"Smitchie?" a very confused Nicole asked.
"Shane and Mitchie." Ella explained.
"Mitchie's good." Caitlyn said, holding up five identical CDs." 1 for Mitchie, 1 for Tess, 1 for Ella, 1 for Nicole, and 1 for Shane." The girls talked for a little while. Then Mitchie came back.
