Chapter 4
Mitchie's Point of View
"Mitchie, are you sure you're going to be okay?" Caitlyn asked for the millionth time. We were heading off to school.
"Yeah, I mean, even though everyone knows that I'm dating Shane Gray, the guy that the entire girl population has a crush on and Rachel will probably use me to get to him, I guess I'll just have to grin an bear it," I mumbled.
"You make it sound so negative," Caitlyn said.
"How do you make it sound positive?" I challenged.
"You're starting school again and now you have the knowledge of knowing that you have someone you like and who likes you that'll care about you no matter what?" she said. I gave her a weird look.
"Who are you and what have you done with Caitlyn?" I asked.
"Sorry, perkiness over," she said, "You're right though; today's going to be tough."
"I've never had to deal with having a boyfriend and now I have to deal with having a famous boyfriend," I said.
"Wait, you've never had a boyfriend?" she said. I just rolled my eyes and ignored her because at that moment we had arrived at school.
"Hey, Itchie," I heard an unmistakable voice said from behind me. I turned and saw Rachel holding the latest issue of Pop Informer magazine and not happy at all. "So how much did you pay Shane to say you were dating?"
"I didn't pay him anything," I mumbled and opened my locker.
"Oh, come on, I'm just curious," she said, "Why else would he say that?"
"Because she's dating him," Caitlyn said.
"Who's dating who?" Sierra asked, walking up to me.
"No one, apparently," Rachel scoffed and walked off.
"Hi, I'm Caitlyn. You must be Sierra. Mitchie talks about you all the time," Caitlyn said.
"Hey," Sierra said then turned to me, "So what's with the rumors about you and Shane?"
"We met at Camp Rock and um got together," I said, not looking at her.
"You're WHAT?!" she squealed, "Sorry, I got a little overexcited."
"It's okay," I said.
"Should I beg for details now or later?" Sierra asked.
"Later," both Caitlyn and I said.
"Did she mention that she's going to record with Shane Gray?" Caitlyn said.
"Okay, screw later, give me the details now," Sierra demanded.
"So on the opening day of camp Shane heard me sing but didn't see my face and I lied to the camp and said that my mom was president of HotTunes China. Later Shane found out and got mad at me and Tess, a girl like Rachel, told Brown, the guy who runs the camp that Caitlyn and I had stolen her charm bracelet and we got banned from Final Jam. I performed afterwards and Shane realized that I was his mystery girl so we talked it out, got together and he gave me a cell phone," I said with one breath.
"Wow, you had quite a summer," Sierra said.
"And that's just the short version," Caitlyn said. We all headed off to class but met up again at lunch, where Rachel decided to have another try at me.
"Hey, Itchie, so I'm thinking we should start over," Rachel said, sitting down at the table with Sierra, Caitlyn, and I.
"Start over as in you want to be my friend or as in you want to use me to get to Connect 3?" I said.
"If it's for the latter you should just leave," Caitlyn said.
"Because it's not going to happen," Sierra said. I smiled at them. They were true friends to stand up for me like this.
"I was just trying to be nice," Rachel said.
"Please, just leave me alone," I said.
"Fine, but fair warning, Shane Gray will be mine," she growled before walking away, sneering.
"Wow, she is like Tess," Caitlyn said.
"Who's Tess?" Sierra asked.
"TJ Tyler's daughter," I said, "She's a girl who intimidated me which is what caused me to lie."
"Oh, she sounds like a walk in the park compared to Rachel," Sierra said.
"Hang out with her for a day and you'll disagree," Caitlyn said.
"Yeah, only 2 more years of Rachel," I said gloomily.
"Hey, you get to see Shane again tonight," Caitlyn said.
"Yeah," I sighed, thinking about the last time we had seen each other.
Shane's Point of View
I glanced at the clock for the millionth time. Now only 2 hours and 15 minutes until I would see Mitchie.
"You know the more you glance at that clock, the slower time will go," Nate said. I rolled my eyes and glanced at it again. He was right though. "You'll see her again soon," Nate said.
"I know it's just that I miss her," I sighed.
"You have fallen for her hard," he said.
"That's an understatement," I said.
"What are you going to do when we go on tour?" Jason asked. Nate and I looked at him weirdly.
"I don't know," I said. We didn't have a tour planned right now but we knew that once we were done with the cd we were going to be forced to go on tour. Being away from Mitchie for months was going to be hard. I guess I'll cross that bridge when we get there.
I take back what i said about the rest of the story being in Mitchie's Point of View but it'll only be in Mitchie or Shane's Point of View.
