Enjoy!



Next day I found myself on a typical day at school. The bell had just rung and I was on my way to meet Sierra and Caitlyn, ready to go home. But then something tha had never happened before, happened.

"OMG, aren't you the girl who's all over YouTube right now?" Queen and boss of Waldron Academy, Tess Tyler, stopped me by the arm. Next to her was her boyfriend, Trace -insert dreamy sigh here- who looked as shocked as Tess did.

"The video you showed me a while ago?" He asked, staring at me. I stuppidly stared back, hoping against hope I wouldn't just start drooling.

"Yeah..." Tess said as she let go of my arm, folding hers across her chest. "Aren't you her?"

"I...uhh..." Right, Mitchie, you go ahead and act smart.

"Connect 3 faved you." She accused.

"Uh..." Gather yourself up, Mitchie. "Oh yeah. I know, I know." I said, breaking into a nervous grin.

"Do you attend this school?" And my grin disappeared. So you spend your freshmen, sophomore, and half junior years developing this huge crush on this great guy, just to find -three years later- he doesn't even know you exist.

"Yeah." I answered coldly.

"Are you a new transfer?" Tess asked.

"No! I've been here since High School started."

"Oh, really?" Tess said as she eyed my clothes up and down. "Well that doesn't matter. You should thank Connect 3 for the good deed, BTW, at least now we know about you." She grabbed Trace's arm and stalked away. Trace looked back for a moment at me, raised his eyebrows, and looked away.

"Mitchie, was that Trace Deluca talking to you?" Sierra asked as she and Caitlyn approached me. "Wow, you're on a roll Mitchie."

"Yeah, whatever." I said as I blinked the sting in my eyes away. "Let's go girls. I gotta go talk to Connect 3."

* * *

I'm not gonna lie. I was hesitant about replying to Connect 3 at first. It was the only thing I had been able to think about at school. And when the bell rang I was almost sure I was going to ignore it and forget about the whole thing. But it was enough. I've really had enough of being no one. And I'm not letting this chance slip away.

"Mitchie just type a freakin' response." Caitlyn said from the chair next to me. We had been seating in front of my computer fro nearly an hour now, but no sentence I came up with sounded good enough for Connect 3.

"Just say thanks, Mitchie." Sierra said, working on some of her homework. "And that it's great they are considering you to work with."

"Okay, yes." I said, placing my shaky hands on the keyboard again. "I can do this." Deep breath, and type. "Hi guys! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video. I still can't believe you actually like it. And it would be a GREAT honor to do something with you guys (If the offer is still up.). I would love to hear back from you. Thanks again, Mitchie Torres." I read out loud as I typed.

"That's good." Sierra said as she closed her books. "Not too desperate not too I-don't-care. Good Mitchie. Now send."

"I don't know you guys..."

"For the love of God, Mitchie!" Caitlyn, completely exasperated, snatched the mouse and clicked send. "Not that hard." She smiled at me.

We stayed in silence for a while, staring at the computer and my cellphone next to it.

"Maybe we should go watch some TV." Sierra suggested.

"Yeah, you know, "A watched pot never boils" and all that crap." Caitlyn said as she got up.

"Fine." I said. Pot may never boil anyway, might as well watch some TV while it doesn't.

"So," Caitlyn said as we walked downstairs. "What was that Tess/Trace conversation about? 'Cause you seemed kind of m..." The three of us suddenly froze on the middle of the stairway.

"Did you hear that bip?" Sierra asked as she pointed back to my room. My eyes widened, realizing it hadn't been my imagination.

We broke into a run back upstairs, stumbling and hitting each other. As I entered my room I stepped into Sierra's bag, lost my balance and fell flat on my face. Caitlyn got tangled up with my feet and crashed on top of me, with Sierra following soon after.

"Ow." I complained as they tried to get up. I looked at my desk, the shinning red light on my BlackBerry called me. I quickly crawled to my desk to reach for my cellphone, making my friends fall back to the floor.

"Ouch!"

"That is going to leave some permanent damage on my butt." Caitlyn said as she finally got up and walked to me. "What is it Mitch?" She asked when she saw the look on my face.

"Are we anywhere near the Los Angeles area?" I asked her.

"Mitchie, we live in Los Angeles."

"Then I guess that answers their question."

"What do you mean?"

"'Hey, we thought we were being rejected for a moment there! Of course the offer is still open, Mitchie, and we cant wait to get with it. But we really can't keep communicating by YouTube's personal messages! Have a phone number? Are you anywhere near Los Angeles? We promise your information is safe with us. We really can't wait to meet you. Message us back soon, please! - Nate, Jason and Shane.'" I read the message to them.

Silence fell upon us again. I knew my friends could not believe it. And who am I kidding, in five minutes I'm gonna have to ask Caitlyn to pinch me. And God, was I scared that pinch wouldn't hurt.

"Hey girls!" My mom walked into my room, making the three of us jump. "What's up?"

"Connect 3." We said in unison.

"You girls have some weird obsession with those guys, I can't imagine what would happen if you got to meet them."

"Neither can we." Caitlyn and Sierra said, still shocked.

"Seriously girls, this is turning a bit scary." My mom said as her eyes traveled fast through each of our faces. "What is going on?"

"Connect 3 wants to meet me." The second that sentence left my mouth my mom began laughing. Really, my mother was making fun of me.

"Okay, that's enough computer for you today." She took my hand and dragged me to the door. "Come help with dinner."

I stoped where I was and I re-read the messages for my mom, including the one I had received last night. She stood in shock, gaping at me.

Chuckling, I saw Caitlyn's hand reaching over to my mom's arm, and then, "Ouch, Caitlyn! What was that for?"

"Sorry, Connie, you looked like you could use a pinch."

My mom frowned lightly and looked at Sierra, who was still seating on the floor. "Come on, Sierra, you're the sane one here," Hey! "Is this true?"

"Why do you think we're all shocked and crazy looking right now?" Sierra answered.

She took a minute to register her answer, and then, unexpectedly (not really, she was the biggest child I know), squealed.

"Well what are we waiting for! Let's contact those boys!"
