Dancing and Discovering

Mitchie's Point of View

"Why don't we go talk outside," the mystery guy said, smiling. I nodded and he grabbed my hand as we started to walk outside. Outside was even more amazing than inside. All the plants were laced with sparkling lights. There was even a grand piano sitting a few yards away. As if reading my mind, he led me straight to the piano and sat down and I sat next to him. His fingers stroked the keys, playing a soft, beautiful melody.

"That's beautiful," I said. He looked up, surprised, as if he had forgotten I was there.

"Thank you," he said. "Do you play?"

"Yeah, a little," I admitted. He gestured towards the keys. I placed my hands gently on the keys and started to play.

Do you know what it's like,

To feel so in the dark,

To dream about a life,

Where you're the shining star,

Even though it seems,

Like it's too far away,

I have to believe in myself,

It's the only way,

This is real,

This is me,

I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now,

Gonna let the light,

Shine on me,

Now I've found who I am,

There's no way to hold it in,

No more hiding who I wanna be,

This is me.

"That was amazing," he said, placing his hand on mine when I finished. I smiled shyly and looked at him, trying to see under the mask. He guessed what I was trying to do. "Any guesses to who I am yet?" he asked.

"I can eliminate a few people," I said.

"Like who?"

"Shane Gray for sure," I said, looking back at the piano, "You're way too nice." He placed his finger under my chin and lifted my face so that I was looking him in the eyes.

"You'd be surprised," he said and reached up. He slid off his mask and I was suddenly looking into the eyes of Shane Gray. His eyes sparkled as he smiled, I'm assuming at my reaction.

"Um, I didn't mean…" I started.

"No, it's okay, I was a jerk to you and to everyone," he sighed. "Now it's your turn," he said and reached up to my mask. Just before he could remove it, the clock struck 11:45.

"I'm sorry, I have to go," I said, standing up and rushing back to the ballroom.

"And the king and queen of the dance are…" an announcer said and two spotlights came on, one on me and one on Shane, who had put his mask back on. Shane didn't even pause from running towards me. I continued up the steps until I was in the parking lot by Sierra's car, were Sierra was waiting impatiently for me.

"Come on, come on, Miss. Queen," she teased.

"Just drive," I said and we drove back to the diner. On the drive, I climbed into the backseat and quickly changed into my diner uniform.

"So who was that guy who you were talking with?" Sierra asked when I climbed back up front.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," I said.

"It's not like it was Shane Gray," she said. I bit my lip and turned away. "Oh my gosh, it was Shane, wasn't it?" I nodded and she squealed. "So how did he react when he saw that it was you?"

"He didn't, I had to leave before he could take off my mask," I admitted. "It doesn't matter anyways. Taking off my mask would have ruined his night when he saw that it was me."

"I saw the way he was looking at you and I have to disagree," Sierra said. I rolled my eyes as we pulled up to the diner.

"Bye, Sierra," I called as I ran into the diner. I had no sooner gotten behind the counter then Sara walked in. She gave me one quick, glaring look and walked back out to her car. I sighed, not believing I actually got away with this.

The part with the piano and Mitchie singing is basically what happened in Camp Rock except Shane saw her face but she had a mask on. I know I said that the plot was a mix of Camp Rock, A Cinderella Story, and Another Cinderella Story, but I would like to throw one more in there, A Walk To Remember.

I have had a sore shoulder for almost 2 weeks so my mom was going to take me to the doctor yesterday but it hurt too bad so we went on Wednesday and the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong so he sent me to xrays. When i got back, they STILL couldn't figure out what was wrong so he gave me a note for P.E. and the name of another doctor so i have to go on Monday in the middle of the school day and miss lunch, P.E., and science.
