Here's another chapter. Thank you for taking time to read and review. I appreciate it a lot. You guys have been very good to me. Thank you. :D
Mitchie didn't stop running until she made it home. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. 'That jerk kissed me!' she repeated to herself over and over. 'That was my first kiss too! It was supposed to be for the guy of my dreams. Not a walking nightmare like Alex!' "Why does Alex Russo hate me so much?" she asked herself out loud. "What did I ever do to her?"
Mitchie touched the back of her head. Her hair really is gone.
Five more years later….
(They're 18 and in high school)
During this time, changes both happen for Mitchie and Alex.
Mitchie became more distant towards everyone. Everybody assumed it was because of her hair. She was no longer the sociable, bubbly girlie but now she became a silent aggressive jock. She traded in her baby tees, hair bows, skirts, and platforms for sweatshirts, baseball caps, tennis shoes, and baggy jeans. She would hang out with the nerds and jocks and just about anybody except for the popular girls (who are all stuck up). No one dared to mess with Mitchie though. She developed a reputation for herself as a fighter when she managed to beat up the biggest girl bully in school. Mitchie is a really small and skinny person but no one could really tell underneath all of her clothes (so she seems bulky).
Jason and Justin stopped teasing Mitchie as time passed too. They've gotten more mature and dated around too. Mitchie still talks to Nate but she had stopped calling him brother.
Ever since that incident, Alex knew that Mitchie had changed. She had toned down on picking on Mitchie but she didn't stop. She knew it was the only way and excuse she had if she wanted to talk to Mitchie. When she entered high school, she brought along her popularity and good looks with her. Alex became everyone's fantasy. Hot body, styling hair, seductive eyes, and a killer smile. She dated every girl that every guy in her school wants to date.
But sadly no matter how many girls she dated, they all mean nothing to her. She was never able to tell Mitchie how she really felt about her so she planned on keeping it silent forever.
"Heads up!"
Mitchie looked up and caught the ball that was aimed towards her.
Alex smirked and said, "Well, well... You know how to catch this time. Good for you."
"Leave me alone Alex. I don't have time to talk with your stupidity." Mitchie snapped back and threw the ball back at Alex.
'Stupidity?' Alex thought. 'Damn why does her words have to get on my nerves so much. No one else can ever do that!' "Aww…you grouchy because every time you look at me you know you can only look but can't touch?"
"Puh-lease…If I touch you I might get a disease."
"Poor Mitchie. Gonna die a single, lonely old nun."
Mitchie gave her a secretive smile. "Just because I don't date around like you do doesn't mean anything. And beside….how do you know I'm single?" Alex looked at her.
'Is she dating someone I don't know?' She was about to ask but just then Brooke (Alex's latest girlfriend) walked up and interrupted their disses.
"Aleexxx!"
Brooke ran up to squeeze her. Alex rolled her eyes. 'Damn Brooke. Why did she have to be here? She's so annoying!' But she gave Brooke a smile anyways.
"So what are you doing here?"
"I want you to take a look at my dress!"
It was a tight little black V-neck dress that showed plenty. And Brooke was a little sexy too.
"It's nice."
Alex really didn't care anyways. She planned to break up with her soon. Mitchie was watching them the whole time. She rolled her eyes. Brooke caught Mitchie watching them. She began to talk to Mitchie in her fake sugary voice.
"I know what you're thinking. But sorry this dress doesn't come in a large."
Mitchie gave her a fake smile. "No but your mouth sure does." Then she walked away. Brooke rolled her eyes behind Mitchie's back.
"Whatever."
Alex glared at her. She didn't like it when other people made fun of Mitchie just because she dressed like a boy.
"You didn't have to say that you know."
Brooke stomped her feet. "Why do you always take her side?" she whined. Alex just walked away. "Aleexxx!"
Alex waited for Mitchie after school but didn't see her so she decided to drop by Mitchie's house. She wasn't home but her grandpa was.
"Alex! Long time no see! Come in."
"Hi Grandpa. Is Mitchie home?"
"No. She told me she's going out with her boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? Who is he?"
The old man gave her a little smile. "Alex. You're old now. Don't be teasing an old man. You and Mitchie still pretending to hate each other while you both know that you both have a burning attraction."
"Attraction? Hell NO!"
Grandpa just smiled. "Okay I'll just play along. She'll be home later. The sooner you meet up with her the sooner you'll see her." Alex smiled and shook her head. Grandpa always wanted her and Mitchie to be together.
"Okay. Good bye Grandpa."
"Bye Alex."
[8 hours later…]
Alex banged on the Torres' front door. Grandpa answered it. "Is Mitchie home?"
Grandpa yawned. "No. Where is she?"
"I don't know! I wasn't with her."
"It's okay Alex. She's a big girl now. She can take care of herself."
"It's late. It's past midnight right now. Aren't you worried? What kind of grandfather are you?"
"Mitchie's been out this late for the past two months. Why are you so worried?"
Alex blushed. "I'm not worried."
Grandpa yawned some more. "You can wait here if you want."
"No. I'll go out and look for her," said Alex. Then she left.
Alex began to walk down the street. She sat on the curb and waited. Ten minutes later she saw Mitchie walking up the path with a dreamy look on her face. Alex was so happy to see her but she was also very mad. She ran up to Mitchie.
"What is wrong with you? What are you doing out so late on a school night, alone?"
Mitchie looked at her surprised. "None of your business." Then she began walking home. Alex followed her. Alex knew she couldn't ask but the thought of Mitchie with a guy was tearing at her inside.
"Well your grandpa was worried."
"I can take care of myself."
They made it home together in silence. Mitchie came home and closed the door. Alex watched her go in and saw the door as a sign. 'She has shut me out of her life forever.'
