Hey guys! I know its been forever and this story is boring so far but I am working on it. Also I don't know where its going yet again! I don't think its going to be much longer unless I have an amazing break.
"Its October, Sierra, nothing interesting has happened, nobody has asked me out, and homecoming is coming around the corner. So it looks like I am going by myself yet again."
"What about Shane?"
"He doesn't even know that it is happening! Besides he is like in some far off corner of this country, I doubt he will want to come."
"Why the long face Mitchie? Your boyfriend decide to ditch you? Well, at least he knows whats good for him. Can I have his cellphone number?"
"Go away Anna, he is going to be there." Mitchie turned away and sighed. Now all she had to do was ask Shane to homecoming. Great. Just great.
"So what was that about Shane not wanting to come Mitchie?" Sierra was smirking at her.
"Oh Shut up, I'll just have to convince him that my life is on the line if he doesn't come."
"If he likes you enough he won't need very much convincing." Mitchie looked sidelong at Sierra.
"What if he says no?"
"Then your going to be screwed."
"Thanks Sierra thanks, that is just what I needed."
"Friendly encouragement is what I am here for."
So Mitchie rung her hands all the way home, literally it was something did when she was nervous. You know when you have a big test that you really should have study for except you played computer instead? Yeah except in this case Mitchie's life was on the line. Quite literally but she wasn't going to die it was just her social life. We all know in high school life if your social life dies then you die along with it. She had no idea if Shane would pick up the phone. His answering habits were very unreliable, she couldn't blame him I mean would you be able to answer the phone all the time if you were an international superstar?
"One ring......two rings.........three rings.." Mitchie always counted the rings under her breath when she got to four rings she hung up and wanted for him to call her back. It was like waiting for rain in the desert. She of course hated the fact that she never got to see him. Talking to him was never quite as good as actually being able to kiss him
Mitchie assumed this was normal but how was she to know? She had never been in a relationship until now.
"Hello?" It sounded like Shane had just ran a marathon to get to the phone."
"Shane are you alright?"
"Yeah I guessed it was you and I know you only wait four rings so I hurried. I hope Nate doesn't kill me we were practicing and I just randomly ran off."
"Tell Nate that he can kill me if he needs too."
"He says your in line after me."
"Great, I'm a hit list, Gosh Shane if thats whats going to happen when I date a popstar then I don't want too."
"If we ever go public then you will be on the hit list of a million girls, I mean they all just love me so much they are willing to kill of my girlfriends. They already got one."
"Oh I'm scared now, a bunch of eleven year olds are coming after me." Mitchie rolled her eyes Shane was a drama queen and she often told him this.
"Don't underestimate the power of the eleven year olds!"
"Okay thats besides the point Shane, I have something umm to ask you."
"What you didn't call just to talk with your boyfriend?" Shane asked sounding hurt in a mocking way.
"Well yes and no but anyway, in about three weeks at my school there's this dance and well its my senior year and I want to go but...."
"But what? Mitchie? Still there?Do I need to call the police or something?"
"No I'm still here but the point is I want you to come with me." Mitchie said it very fast and low just trying to get it out but apparently Shane didn't understand.
"You want me to marry a pickle?" A very confused sounding Shane said.
"What? How do you get marry a pickle from that? What I said was I want you to come with me." Now Mitchie had trouble getting that out because she was laughing so hard.
"Oh! I gotcha now, and thats what it sounded like. I thought my girlfriend was asking me to marry a pickle but I like what you actually said better..Mitchie are you there?" Mitchie nodded but then realized he couldn't see her and burst out in laughter again.
"Yeah I'm here, so what do you say? Do you think you can come?"
"Well I would have to ask but I think yes and I will do anything I can to be there okay Mitchie? I mean, is this going to be completely horrible if I can't come."
"Well anywhere I go without you is pretty boring but I guess not." Mitchie did not want to make Shane feel guilty so she left Anna out of the equation. She would just have figure her out on her own. How hard could it be? Apparently Nate had given up on trying to make them practice so Shane and Mithcie talked. Actually it was the longest she had talked to him since August. She confided that Anna was bothering her and teasing her more and more often now for whatever reason. Shane had told her almost the same thing as Sierra, to just ignore it and live. Then Shane had complained about how paparazzi were trying to "play Match maker" They had him with a new girl every week. Of course none of them had enough evidence to last a week but Mitchie had see this on the news already and she knew already but she listened quietly. She told him the same thing he told her except she called the paparazzi a couple names which was completely fine by Shane.
What what she didn't notice was how it went from four to five to six to seven to eight. When she finally looked at a clock she gasped.
"Shane? I have to go, We have been talking for four hours and I haven't started my homework and I missed dinner."
"Is it eight out there? Same here, I am going to call you when I get stuff worked out."
"Bye Shane thanks for talking to me, I know you must take ton time out of your schedule and I know you get yelled at for talking so long so don't deny it."
"I had no plans of denying it but I think its worth it."
"It is."
"I would do anything in my power." with that they hung up both at the same time because they had figured out that it made it easier on both of them to just not say good bye because it made it seem to complete and infinite.
The fact of the matter was saying goodbye felt like a closing of a book and Mitchie was ready to close her book with Shane just yet. She hoped this feeling you know that feeling the one you get once in a life time? The one where you feel the warm feeling coming up and you glow and warm. You just don't want it to end. Well thats how I feel. I can't explain it to you, thats for you to figure out. After that conversation Mitchie's mind just couldn't seem to concentrate and she sat there daydreaming.
Which was why when the next day when her teacher asked her for her homework, Mitchie stared guiltily up at her and said.
"Sorry, Mrs. Justin, I don't have it, I'll turn it in tomorrow for late credit." Mrs. Justin kind of stared at her for a minute then blinked and kept going and Sierra leaned over.
"What happened Mitchie? Why didn't you do it?"
"I had more to do last night and I just couldn't do it afterwards my mind was someplace. Sierra I'm a little worried about this, am I going to fast?"
"What you think your going to fast because you asked him to homecoming?"
"No! I meant I'm always thinking about him, how he makes me feel, just he fills my mind. I'm sure you have heard this it sounds cliche."
"Well I have heard it from my brain. But I never really was obsessed with anyone, I mean the guys I dated it was real no big deal. The dating status was kind of casual kind of not."
"You know a casual relationship means you are in it for the sexual things right Sierra?"
"Not in my book." Sierra didn't even need to turn to know Anna was talking to her.
"It is in mine, so how far did you go?"
"I bet you went further then I have ever gone."
"Sure whatever you say, I don't believe you but I do know that I bet thats what your relationship is, right Mitchie is that why your always so distracted?" Mitchie was at a complete loss of words Anna, yet again successfully twisted her words so that it made her sound like a mindless slut.
