Disclaimer: Nothing, I own absolutely nothing.

The next morning I got up and got dressed before heading to Alex's cabin.

"Hey babe!" He greeted me as he pulled me inside.

Once the door was closed he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him smashing his lips onto mine.

"I've… missed… you." He said between breaths.

I pulled away after a while due to my lack of comfort. I just wasn't in the kissing mood. Considering I still had to come up with an excuse to give Shane.

How could I just run? I mean, I sprinted away! The thought made me nauseous.

"Aw man, come on Mitchie! Let me kiss you a little bit more!"

"Alex, our relationship can't be all about kissing. I want to show you this amazing spot by the lake I found yesterday, you'll love it!"

"Well Mitch, I can't help that you're so kissable." He teased and I blushed.

We made our way to the lake and I had my guitar in tow.

I was planning on singing him the song Shane heard from me yesterday.

He is my boyfriend after all; I should be able to confide in him, right?

"Sit down, sit down!" I said as I grabbed his hand and pulled him down to sit next to me.

"What's this all about Mitch?"

"Alex, well I know that you've always wanted to hear me sing and well… I want to sing you this song that I've been working on for a very long time. It's really personal and…" He cut me off.

"Really?! You're actually going to share your secrets with me…?" He said sarcastically.

"Alex, um, I want to confide in you. This song is really personal and I thought you'd be happy…" I was completely dumbfounded. I thought he wanted to hear my songs. I thought he wanted me to confide in him.

"Happy? Mitchie, we've been together for months and you only sang to me once, just because I begged and it was my birthday! Of course I want you to tell me everything, it just bothers me that you can barely trust me!"

I trust him. Of course I trust him. He's my boyfriend!

"Why is this all coming out now? You know that it takes me a while to open up and that it's hard sharing my songs with people! Alex, why are you doing this?" I felt like crying.

I guess this was a bad idea. I just wanted to share something special with him…

"Ugh, I don't know Mitchie. I'm sorry, I'm being stupid. I guess I was surprised that you finally decided to let me into your music world." He paused. "Forgive me?"

"Well, of course. I'm sorry too, about not letting you in sooner." He smirked and leaned in to kiss me.

He put his hands on my face and deepened the kiss.

Yay! Fight over.

"Ahem."

Who was that? I looked up to see Shane Gray.

But of course.

"What?" Alex snapped.

Feisty.

"You're kissing in my spot." Shane retorted.

"Oh well…" I began before Shane cut me off.

"You know Mitchie, I never knew you had a boyfriend. And I definitely never pegged you to be the type of girl who makes out in public. Guess I was wrong."

Jerk.

"And I thought that you were actually becoming a nicer person, guess I was way off. You don't know me Gray. Now if you'll excuse us, we're late for class." Kind of harsh. Well, he's being a jerk.

"Come on baby, let's go."

Alex wrapped an arm around my waist and we started to walk away.

"By the way Mitchie, that song of yours that I heard you sing last night…"

Oh no.

"He heard you sing! How could you let a complete stranger hear you sing and you've only let me once! I can't believe you Mitchie." Alex was screaming at me.

"No, Alex, it's not like that. I-I was singing to myself and he…"

"Save it. See you around." And he stormed off.

"Alex, let me explain!"

Fight not over. Great.

But it was pointless; he was basically power-walking away from me.

Now, there I stood next to the biggest jerk I've ever known.

"Shane Gray you are the rudest person I have ever met! Why would you do that? You could have at least told him that you overheard me!" I was fuming and Shane looked confused.

"Woah. Why would he care that I heard you sing? Actually, don't answer. I could care less about you and your boyfriend, whom you forgot to mention yesterday when we were dancing."

What was that? Jealousy?

No way, not from Shane Gray.

"I was too busy thinking about how big of a jerk you truly are! You know, all those stories I would hear about you, I never believed. But you just proved the media right Shane. It's a shame that your attitude sucks because you're extremely talented."

I walked away to find Alex and smooth things over.

I waited for him outside of his piano class and he decided to talk about what happened. Once I explained, he apologized about 17 times, no joke.

"Mitchie, you know that I'm really sorry? I was just as big of a jerk as he was. Ugh, I'm so stupid!"

Oh Alex, no one could be as big of a jerk as Shane Gray.

"Alex, stop apologizing. Everyone makes mistakes sweetie." I gave him a peck on the cheek as he walked me to my dance class.

"I hope someone else joined the class so that you're not partnered up with that idiot again. I don't want my girl dancing with some pig."

Ah, jealousy. It's kind of sweet, and every girl loves when guys get just a little bit jealous.

I couldn't help but smirk at him.

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing. Thanks for walking me to class. I'll see you in a few hours!"

We both noticed Shane staring and Alex grabbed me and kissed me passionately before saying goodbye.

Just as I walked into class, Shane started with his comments.

"PDA is disgusting Torres. Get a room."

Joy. This should be fun.

"Okay, you know the drill. Partner up and make it quick." He paused and looked my way. "Torres?"

"What?"

"Do you have a partner?" He was smirking.

Why was Shane Gray smirking at me?

"N-No…" I looked down.

He walked over to me and started the music as he took my hand while flashing a brilliant smile.

"I swear Shane, you're bipolar."

He chuckled and we danced our way through two hours.

"See you guys tomorrow. I want more enthusiasm and more effort. Mitchie, stay behind a second will ya?"

I sighed. What now?

"Yes Shane?"

"Listen, about earlier… I-I didn't mean to screw things up with you and what's his face."

"Alex." I corrected.

"Right, well I just wanted to apologize…" He trailed off.

"Well well well, Shane Gray is actually apologizing." I laughed before thanking him.

"Oh and Mitchie? I was wondering, do you have a cell phone?"

He couldn't be asking for my number. No way.

"Yea… why?"

"Could I get your number? I mean, just in case I ever needed…" He nervously searched for a reason why.

"A dance partner?" I smirked and gave him my number.

"I'll see you around pop star."

"See ya."

The rest of the classes flew by and before I knew it I was having dinner with Alex and Caitlyn in the mess hall.

"Hey Cait, how are all your classes going?" Oh curiosity.

"Amazing and beyond! You?" She asked as she took a sip of her drink.

"All my classes are great. I love music so this is definitely my perfect place."

"She only hates the class that singer teaches. Jerk." Alex interrupted and I simply nodded.

I couldn't possibly tell him that the dance class was my favorite, and that Shane was quite enjoyable.

We finished dinner and headed to our cabins just before curfew. Caitlyn was asleep within minutes.

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

Someone texted me. An unfamiliar number.

Hey, it's Shane. Gray that is. Could you meet me by the lake?

I can't sneak out! I'll get in trouble… But what could he want? Ugh, I guess I could be really sneaky.

Um, I guess. 5 minutes.

Mitch

When I got to the lake, Shane was in the middle of a song.

You're the remedy I'm searching hard to find
To fix the puzzle that I see inside
Painting all my dreams the color of your smile
When I find you it will be alright

"Shane?" I didn't mean to scare him but he jumped at the sound of my voice.

"Hey!" He stood up and walked over to me. "You scared me." He smiled.

"Sorry; that was a great song! It's not a Connect 3 song is it?" I've never heard anything like that come from them. Their music was very produced but this sounded so raw; so real.

"Thanks, it's just a song I've been writing." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I've been inspired." He smirked at me.

I felt a blush creep up on my face and looked down.

"So, you know I'm risking getting in trouble for you! What did you want?" I laughed as I spoke.

"I never got the chance to ask you about why you didn't want Alex to hear you sing. Well, I did but I was a jerk." He looked away, ashamed.

"Shane, listen, you don't seem like that bad of a person. But the thing is, I barely know you. And so far, you haven't made the best impression. I don't really want to talk about why I won't sing to people, not yet; not to you."

His smile faded as I spoke. I wasn't just about to pour my heart out to a guy who's nice to me one minute and a complete jerk the next.

"I understand." He mumbled.

"I probably shouldn't have come, but curiosity gets the best of me." I giggled, trying to lighten the mood. "Listen, I'll see you in class tomorrow. Goodnight Shane."

"Goodnight Mitchie, and sorry about earlier." He grabbed my hand. "I hope you're not too upset." And he flashed a smile that made me blush.

"I'm okay, and thanks for apologizing… again." I pulled my hand away and started to walk towards the cabins.

"See you tomorrow Torres."

"Get some sleep Gray."

I successfully snuck back into my cabin only to be caught by Caitlyn.

"Mitchie Torres! Where were you?! Details, now." She laughed.

"Well…"

We stayed up for a bit talking about everything before finally getting to sleep.
