Heyy Guys!!! Yeah the reason I haven't uploading since who-knows-when is because I've been having doubts with this story.. BUT! I started writing again and I'm happy about it!! I think it was some sort of writer's block, or writer's depression.. idk lol. well I made this chapter a little bit longer (no pun intended). I hope you guys like it.. The fact that I still got reviews even while the story was on a pause makes me even happier to present this chapter!! ENJOY!
Chapter 4.
New Crushes
So my life is pretty rockin' right now!!! Mitchie and I have become really great friends and Shane is really cool. I don't get to talk to Nate as much as I really want to, though. Strangely, he's been hanging out with Gigi, A LOT. Someone should tell him that she is the wrong person to get involved with…
I seriously think Shane and Mitchie are crushing on each other, but they both continue to deny it.
It's currently lunch time, my absolute new favorite time of the day. Because now, I actually have cool people to sit with! It's weird though, everyone who thought I was a loser, are treating me like a queen. I guess that's what happens when hanging out with celebrities.
Demi and I go sit at our usual table, the furthest table from Gigi. That's sort of sad though, because I'm never near Nate during lunch…
"So Alex, you never told me why you don't have any friends." Mitchie said.
"And you never told me what's going on with you and Shane." I replied.
"Fine! I'll tell you. I have a really big crush on him ever since we sang together at Camp Rock," Mitchie explained, "but I'm pretty sure he doesn't feel the same way."
"Are you joking?! He flirts with you all the time, he'd rather talk to you than anyone else, including his family!"
"That doesn't mean anything!" she replied, "But anyways, now tell me! Why don't you have friends?"
"Fine, well.." I started
"Well?" Mitchie asked anxiously.
I laughed. "There was a time I had a best friend, we were so close. So close, we never hung out with anybody else. She moved away two years ago. I have been by myself self since then."
"I'm so sorry Alex," she said trying to comfort me. "I know what it's like to lose a best friend. But you can't let that keep you down! You're a great person, anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend."
"Thanks," I replied right as Shane came to our table.
"Hey Alex. Hey Mitchie." He smiled at Mitchie.
"Why are you always so late to lunch?" Mitchie asked him.
"Why? Do you miss me?" Shane replied.
"You wish!"
"I'm hurt!" Shane put his hand on his heart and gave her a sad expression.
I gave Mitchie an 'I told you so' look and then stood up.
"While you guys continue to flirt, I'm going to get a soda from the machine." I told them.
I watched them both blush as I walked over to the soda machine.
As I was about to pay for my soda, Nate walked up to me. Wow, he's really cute! I tried not to blush a lot, but that happens a lot when he's around.
"Hey let me pay for that," he said. I blushed.
"No, it's okay. Thank you, though." I said, and I can't stop blushing. Ughh!
"No, let me. I want to." He paid for my drink and pressed on the button for my favorite drink.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"I notice things," He winked at me. Right before he turned around to leave he said, "By the way, you're pretty cute. See you in class!" And with that, he turned around and left to his table.
I could feel my cheeks burning up. I slowly started walking to towards my table still shocked with the whole situation.
"What's wrong with you?" Mitchie asked me.
"Nothing. Just—uh, nothing." I stuttered, I do that when I'm nervous.
"I know what it is." Shane said smirking. "Alex has a crush on my brother!"
"What! N-no. I d-don't know—uh—what you're talking ab-about." I said, blushing yet again.
"Aww! She sooo has a crush on him!" Mitchie said.
"Shh! He'll hear you." I said, knowing clearly he's across the cafeteria and won't hear a thing. "Ok, so I guess I sort of like him. But it's not a big deal, at all!"
"I could talk to him if you'd like." Shane offered.
"No! I mean—please don't. I know he doesn't like me, so it's whatever." I told him.
"Whatever? No it's not whatever." Mitchie said, "I think he likes you."
"If he likes me, then why is spending so much time with Gigi and her crew?" I asked.
"That's a good question." Shane answered. "He's never usually like this. And he's been acting pretty strange ever since he's been hanging out with her. But I know he doesn't like her, that's for sure."
"It doesn't seem like it to me," I said while staring Gigi's table down with envy. "But like I said, it doesn't matter. So if we could drop this, and don't tell anyone! I'm serious!" I gave them both a look.
"Fine," They both said.
I then left to the hall to go to my locker.
NO ONE'S POV
"Yeah, we're definitely doing some investigation, right?" Shane asked.
"Definitely," Mitchie said.
At Gigi's Table—Right after Nate came back from the soda machine…
"Nate what were you doing, talking to that loser?" Gigi asked. She seemed upset.
"She's not a loser, she's pretty cool, and it shouldn't matter to you who I talk to." Nate said. "And I'm sick and tired of hearing you insult everyone that walks by. You're not a nice person, Reggie--,"
"It's Gigi!" she yelled.
"Whatever, it doesn't matter!" Nate yelled back. "Whatever your name is, I'm done hanging out with you!" Nate walked away relieved that he was free, or he thought…
"Are you gonna let him free that easily?" One of Gigi's followers asked.
"No. What we're going to do his let him think he's free, but I'll soon be back in the picture."
"When?"
"Soon." Gigi said with an evil grin on her face.
Bum bum bum!!! What's Gigi's evil plan? Is she going to get in the way of anything ever happening between Nate and Alex? Will Mitchie and Shane ever get together!! Only I know.. haha and it's great! :P well remeber to hit the review button!!! tell me if you hated it, loved it, or w/e the case is!!! I'm gonna need quite a few reviews to update again..
