Hey guys. Thanks for all the support! I really, really appreciate it! Please review and comment and sorry I didn't post today. I had writers block. But I'm back. Special thanks to LyricsMania.
Mitchie walked into the cafeteria after helping her mom and grabbing her own food. She scanned the large room until she spotted Caitlyn. Mitchie smiled and walked over to the table.
"Hey guys." She said as she sat down.
"Hey, Mitch. "
"So, you performing at Pajama Jam?" Lola asked. "No, maybe next time." Mitchie once again excused herself from singing. "Why? You have a great voice and amazing songs!" Caitlyn reasoned. Mitchie shrugged. "I guess I'm still a little shy. How bout' you guys? Are you performing?"
Caitlyn nodded. "I'm playing the keyboard."
"No, I'm taking a break." Lola answered and Barron and Sander agreed.
Tess grabbed just a little bit of food and headed to her table with Peggy and Ella behind her. She glared at Mitchie who was across the room, laughing with her friends.
"Ugh, she's going to end up hogging all the attention!" She screamed quietly. Peggy secretly rolled her eyes. Tess doesn't like people who she felt were competition, so she always finds a way to take everything away from them. "Tess, she's not trying to do it on purpose." Peggy stuck up for Mitchie.
Tess looked at Peggy in disbelief. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah, she is. And leave Mitchie alone." Ella said. Ella was usually a carefree, happy girl, but she didn't like how Tess acted which got her angry sometimes.
"I won't. She has a great voice. We should add her as a back up singer." Tess smiled innocently. Peggy and Ella glared at her.
After lunch, Tess walked up to Mitchie and Caitlyn with Peggy and Ella behind her. They didn't like what she was doing, but they went along with it. Tess usually made them feel popular and good, which is why they haven't left her yet.
"Hey, Mitchie. Caitlyn." Tess gave them a fake smile. The two girls shared looks.
"Uh, hi." Mitchie smiled. "So, you have a great voice. You'd fit perfectly with the background singers for our group. What do you say?" Tess asked.
Mitchie raised an eyebrow. "I say, thanks for asking, but no thanks." And with that, she and Caitlyn walked off, silently giggling. Tess' jaw dropped while Ella and Peggy snickered.
Shane Gray was taking a walk; still thinking about the voice her had heard the other day and Mitchie. The two girls were the only thing occupying his mind. And he wish they weren't.
He suddenly bumped into Mitchie, almost causing her to fall. Mitchie let out a small scream before both Caitlyn and Shane reached out to grab her. Shane steadied her and once she saw that it was him, she glared. "Don't touch me!" She yelled.
Shane put both his hands up. "Whoa, sorry."
"Whatever." She mumbled, still angry about yesterday, before walking off with Caitlyn. "Wait!" Shane yelled. Mitchie and Caitlyn stopped and turned. "Uh, I wrote a s-song. I wanted to know if you would listen to it." He told Mitchie.
Mitchie looked at Caitlyn, shocked. "I'll see ya' later." Caitlyn whispered, giving Mitchie a wink before she left.
Mitchie turned back to Shane and sighed. "Sure." The two of them sat down on the dock in front of the lake and Shane started to strum his guitar.
Every time I think I'm closer to the heart
Of what it means to know just who I am
I think I've finally found a better place to start
But no one ever seems to understand
Shane looked Mitchie in the eyes and she blushed, looking down at the movement of his arms strumming the guitar.I need to try to get to where you are You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing Oh yeah You're the remedy I'm searching hard to find You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing Been feeling lost, can't find the words to say You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing Yeah, yeah...

"Wow, Shane. That was beautiful." She couldn't help but compliment on the song. "Thanks, I know it's not done yet, but-"
"No, no. It's great Shane. I loved it." She smiled, being innocent Mitchie again. Shane grinned. "Thanks."
Mitchie laughed at his repeat of words, sending a shiver through his body.
The two of them got up. "Thank you. For listening to the song." "No problem. Anytime. Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta' get to another class." Mitchie smiled and walked off.
After instrument class was over, Mitchie walked into the kitchen with a bright smile on her face. "Hey, mom."
Connie raised an eyebrow at her daughter. "Hey, sweetie. You seem like you're in a good mood."
Mitchie's smiled got bigger. She had loved that Shane sang to her. It just made her body tingle. Event thinking about it made her happy.
"Yeah, I am." She said. "Why?" Her mom asked. "A guy sang to me." She said, trying to keep it a mystery. "Oh. Who?" Connie asked, suddenly excited for her daughter. "Not saying." Mitchie grinned. Connie slightly smiled. "I will find out sooner or later."
"Are you going to perform at Pajama Jam?" Connie asked. Mitchie shook her head. "No, maybe next time." She said, going through déjà vu. "Why not?" "I'm still too shy."
Connie sighed. Her daughter was always too shy, which made her angry. Why couldn't Mitchie just live a little? Mitchie was always a goody too shoes, even her own parents thought so.
"Just go make the hamburger meat into patties." Connie said. Mitchie shrugged and did as told.
Mitchie walked into a small cabin that night, wearing light pink pajama pants with white polka-dots and a white tank top with her usual brown boots.
She stood next to Lola as Caitlyn went up. She started to play the key boar and everyone moved along with the beat.
"Whoa, she's good. Even Shane likes it." Ella smiled, pointing to Shane who was standing next to a bunk bed with a smile on his face. Tess didn't like that Caitlyn was hogging all the attention, so she decided to pull the attention back to her.
Everyone suddenly heard a scream and Caitlyn stopped playing. "Oh, my God! A snake!" She screamed dramatically. Dee rolled her eyes. "It's just a cable cord, Tess."
"Oh." Was all she said.
Caitlyn fumed with anger. She walked up to Tess. "What is your problem? You can't stand the fact that some one actually might be better than you!"
Tess did some kind of hand thing that Caitlyn didn't understand. "Okay. What is that?" She asked.
"She said…" Ella started making the same signs while Peggy talked. "What ever major loser."
Shane glared at the three girls.
"Wow, Tess. What ever major loser? That is so, like last year. Everyone knows that… oh, I guess not everyone." Mitchie smiled innocently.
Shane smirked. That's my girl… wait, what am I saying? Or thinking? Whatever. He thought to himself.
People around the room started to laugh. Tess gasped and walked off with Peggy and Ella, once again, behind her.
