Well I wrote this today and just. Couldn´t stop! lol i own nothin and I love reviews
¨Bye...¨ Mitchie looked up at him and Shane wrapped her in his strong arms, resting his chin on her head. Nate, Caitlyn, and Jason were already out in the tour bus waiting out in front of Mitchie´s house.
¨I´ll miss you.¨ Shane kissed her softly. ¨You know that. And I´ll be back in one month.¨ He promised her and took her hand. She smiled weakly and leaned on his chest for one more moment before pulling away and wiping at her eyes.
He wrapped her up in his embrace once more and rested his head next to hers. He smiled and kissed her neck making her shiver and as he pulled away her hand went to her neck. ¨Shane...¨ She said half laughing half sternly.
¨I had to really give you something to remember me by.¨ He smirked as he stepped out the front door, his bag in one hand, his guitar in the other.
Mitchie closed the door behind him with a smile and headed upstairs to start on the homework she hadn´t touched since she´d gotten it on Friday.
¨Morning Mitchie!¨ Sierra greeted her that morning at Mitchie´s locker. Mitchie waved in greeting before diving in to pick up her geometry book. She put everything in her backpack and took out a few pictures from her folder. The first was her, Connect 3 and Caitlyn making faces at the camera.
The second was of her and Sierra smiling sweetly. The third was of her and Caitlyn at Camp Rock. And the last was one she and Shane had taken together before he had left. Her head was resting against Shane´s and they were both smiling. ¨Those are cute.¨ Sierra said helping her best friend tape them up.
Lastly she put up the Camp Rock logo at the top. ¨Perfect.¨ She stepped back to admire her work. There had been other pictures there already so now the entire locker door was covered. Suddenly the warning bell went off and she and Sierra hurried to Homeroom.
¨Hey Mitchie!¨ Nina greeted her first, Amy and Amber behind her. ¨So we have to talk.¨ Nina said seriously. Mitchie looked at her curiously from where she was doodling in her notebook.
¨Okay shoot.¨ Mitchie leaned back in her seat, twirling her green pen between her fingers.
¨So how come you like sang with Shane Gray? And he kissed your cheek!¨ Nina asked her bluntly, loudly popping a bubble with her gum. Mitchie blanked. She wasn´t sure if she was ready to tell people but she didn´t really have much else of an option.
¨B-b-b-because. I´m. dating Shane Gray And he asked me to sing the song we sang at Camp Rock.¨ She closed her eyes awaiting some kind of shriek or something but Nina was just staring at her, her gum lolling around in her mouth. It was a little gross actually. Mitchie reached out and closed her mouth.
¨You´re lying.¨ Nina finally snapped at her even though Amy and Amber were still gaping at her. Mitchie jerked her head back like she had been slapped.
¨No I´m not. He asked me out the night of Final Jam!¨ Mitchie insisted but Nina was laughing now.
¨Oh Mitchie you´re so comical! You obviously begged Shane to sing with you and he took pity! It makes sense now... He is so sweet.¨ Nina turned around, flipping her hair in the process.
¨I¨m not lying!¨ Mitchie cried out but Sierra put her hand on Mitchie´s arm.
¨Whatever. You don´t have to justify yourself to her.¨ She told her, handing Mitchie the pen that had gone flying when Nina had said she was lying.
Mitchie angrily resumed her drawings, not speaking for the rest of class. Afterwards she went to Spanish III while Sierra went to A.P. Mandarin II. Only one of the threesome that had been so keen for Mitchie´s friendship last week was in that class; Amy.
¨Do you have a pencil?¨ Mitchie leaned over, whispering to the nearest person. Amy held out the Ticonderoga, her eyes still focused on Señor Martinez.
¨Nice hickey by the way.¨ Amy mumbled as she resumed taking notes and Mitchie´s hand shot up to the mark Shane had left yesterday. ¨I believe that you´re dating Shane Gray by the way. I saw the pictures of you two in your locker.¨ She still hadn´t even looked at Mitchie yet.
Mitchie´s head swung around to look at her. ¨So why didn´t you tell Nina that?¨ Amy shrugged and turned a page in her neon pink notebook.
¨It wouldn´t do any good if I told her. She still wouldn´t like you, just for a different reason. She´s jealous that you met Connect 3; she´s gonna try and make your life a living hell.¨ Mitchie nodded slowly.
The following month what Amy had said was becoming true. Nina would seek her out in the halls just to call her a pathological liar. She teased Mitchie and Sierra mercilessly and seemed to get a true joy out of it. And when Leo Marcus: an attractive senior, asked her to homecoming, well that just put more fuel in her flame.
Mitchie gave up trying to prove Nina wrong and focused on talking to Shane, hanging out with Sierra, and on her school work. ¨Did you have any trouble with Nina today?¨ Shane asked her as they spoke on the phone when Mitchie was walking home.
¨Not really. She flaunted Leo in my face that she had a date to Homecoming and I didn´t but that´s tame for her so I didn´t mind.¨ Mitchie put her key in and took off her shoes in the front hall. ¨But if you came to Homecoming maybe...¨ But Shane cut her off with a laugh.
¨Mitchie Torres are you asking me to your school Homecoming?¨ Mitchie laughed as well.
¨I guess I am!¨ She walked up the stairs to her bedroom and lay down.
¨Well do it right then!¨ Shane scolded her and she rolled her eyes.
¨Shane will you go with me to Homecoming?¨ Shane laughed on the other end of the phone call.
¨Was that so hard? And I would love to have such a beautiful girl on my arm, when is it?¨ Mitchie consulted her school schedule.
¨Hm a week from Friday.¨ Mitchie told him hopefully, praying he would be able to make it and not have a show that night.
¨Sweet! I´ve got a show Saturday night so this works out perfect. But Caitlyn and Nate are going to spend some time together while Jason gets to see his family so you just get me.¨ Mitchie grinned.
¨That´ll do.¨ She replied nonchalantly. Shane laughed and had to go. ¨Okay I´ll talk to you soon Shane.¨
¨Bye Mitch.¨ The two hung up and Mitchie went downstairs to discuss this with her mom.
¨Yes Shane can come over after the dance which is a week from Friday and stay until Sunday morning.¨ Connie repeated slowly and Mitchie hugged her excitedly.
¨Thanks mom!¨ Mitchie ran upstairs. She worked on her homework for an hour or so before going to work until nine.
¨So whats got you so happy?¨ Sierra asked the next morning and Mitchie closed her locker with a smile.
¨Shane´s coming to homecoming...¨ She walked dazedly to their next class. Sierra laughed and sat down next to her in homeroom.
¨Do you wanna go dress shopping after school?¨ Sierra asked Mitchie at lunch that day. Mitchie nodded. ¨Cool. I have the car today so we can just go straight to the mall.¨ Mitchie nodded once more and laughed silently. Sierra wasn´t the nerd that every one thought she was. She loved shopping, the mall, plenty of normal teenage girl stuff.
That afternoon Sierra pulled up in the blue jeep she shared with her older sister. ¨Come on Mitchie!¨ She honked the horn Mitchie laughed, tossing her bags into the back. They pulled out of the High School parking lot and drove over to the mall near them.
They rushed inside and towards the nearest dress store. Mitchie and Sierra pulled dresses off of racks left and right. Mitchie finally found her perfect dress after Sierra picked out her own teal one. Mitchie excitedly handed the cashier the money for her dress and excitedly tapped her fingers on the smooth counter.
When the cashier handed her the long dress bag she snatched it away with a happy grin as she and Sierra left the store. They went over to the ice cream shop in the food court and sipped at Chocolate and Vanilla milkshakes. They spent another few hours at the mall and eventually Sierra dropped Mitchie and her bags off at the Torres home.
The next day Mitchie and Sierra were talking excitedly about homecoming when the announcements came on. ¨Attention! Students! Stop talking¨ The Principals agitated voice crackled through all the classrooms. ¨Thank you. Now congratulations to the Boys soccer team for the victory at last nights game...¨ The same old boring announcements until...¨And now for the Homecoming King and Queen nominations: For Queen we have: Nina Brian. Amy Ricard. Jessica Brown.Leslie Lucas. And Mitchie Torres. Now for King...¨
Mitchie´s jaw dropped and hers wasn´t the only one. Amber Nyland had been just about guaranteed a Homecoming nomination; and she lost that spot to Mitchie. ¨Who would have nominated me??¨ Mitchie whispered hurriedly and Sierra shrunk in her seat until Mitchie spotted her. ¨Sierra! You did this??¨ She hissed and Sierra smiled weakly.
¨But obviously I wasn´the only one!¨ Sierra brought up that important point which Mitchie took into account. ¨Just be happy Mitchie!¨ Sierra opened her book.
Mitchie spent the rest of homeroom considering if she should text Shane and tell him or not. She pulled out her phone several times and nearly got it taken away twice but in the end decided it wasn´t so important. ¨Move.¨ Nina shoved past her in the hall, Amber and Amy right behind her; though silent. Nina turned around once more to call back: ¨Oh and by the way. Don´t count on any votes for homecoming queen, you were obviously nominated as a joke.¨
Mitchie spun around angrily but before she could say or do anything Sierra dragged her into Study Hall. Sierra pulled out the laptop she carried around and pulled up Nina´s smiling yearbook picture and clicked and dragged a few times. She turned the laptop around to show her best friend.
Mitchie stifled a laugh. Sierra had blacked out Nina´s front teeth, streaked her hair purple, given her a small mustache and a few zits here and there. Mitchie hugged her best friend tightly. ¨You´re the best Sierra.¨ She laughed and Sierra laughed as well. They spent the next week and a half pointedly ignoring Nina.
Friday afternoon Sierra came over to get ready for the dance. At seven twenty Mitchie closed the clasp on her silver shoes. The rhinestones sparkled as she twirled around and her best friend giggled. Sierra´s teal dress looked great on her with her matching shoes and they had wet her hair and put it up in a half pony tail.
The door bell rang and Steve Torres opened it casually. Shane was standing there in white jeans and a black, silk, short sleeved button up shirt and a white jacket. ¨Nice to see you again Shane.¨ Steve greeted him and Shane smiled nervously, he put his bag next to the umbrella stand and stood back up. Sierra was standing at the top of the stairs her hands gesturing to the girl walking down the stairs.
Mitchie had chosen a dark purple spaghetti strap dress with a light purple ribbon right under the chest with a large square rhinestone. She walked nervously, the dress´s light layers fluttering around her knees. Shane hadn´t moved and neither had Steve; his eyes on his daughter and his daughter´s boyfriend.
Mitchie stepped off the last stair and Shane swallowed. ¨H-hi Mitchie. You look. Amazing...¨ Mitchie blushed as he nodded his head at Steve and took Mitchie´s hand as they walked out. Sierra in her own car. Mitchie stopped short. Shane was driving a white Mercedes with scissor doors. Shane opened one and she slid into the front seat, closing her door and then Shane got in himself.
He drove a little slower than he had in her own car, but then again this car was a little more expensive. At the stop light Shane´s hand inched towards her own and squeezed it tenderly, turning to smile at her. He leaned over and kiss her sweetly. ¨You look so beautiful.¨ He whispered as he pulled away and sped out of the traffic light.
He put down the convertible top and drove slowly as he pulled up to her high school where several people were standing. As soon as people caught sight of the two of them; the whispers began. Shane got out first and opened Mitchie´s door, helping her out of the car.
She smiled shyly as she walked to the front doors, Shane pulled out the sixteen dollars for their tickets and when the kid at the door asked for their votes for king and queen they checked the boxes off quickly and Shane put his arm around Mitchie´s waist as he led her into the large gym.
The homecoming committee had outdone themselves. There were twinkling white lights all over the high walls, decorations everywhere. The gym had been transformed amazingly. Shane took one of Mitchie´s hands and spun her underneath his arm with a smile.
Nina and Leo, Amber and her date Matt, and Amy and her date Jason walked in Nina made a beeline for Mitchie. Shane and her were dancing together when Nina stormed over to them. ¨Mitchie!¨ She looked at Mitchie disbelievingly and Mitchie smiled politely at her.
That was all she said before she turned on her heel and went to dance in the center of the room. Mitchie shrugged but Shane looked at her quizzically. ¨Who was that?¨ He asked putting his hands on her hips and dancing behind her.
¨That was Nina Brian.¨Mitchie said shortly. Shane thought for a moment before nodding and resumed dancing behind her. After a few songs Sierra ran up to the two of them.
¨Hi guys!¨ She smiled excitedly at the two of them and Mitchie grinned back at her and unwound one of her hands from where it was on Shane´s shoulders.
¨Hey Sierra! Oh Shane this my best friend Sierra. Shane Sierra. Sierra Shane.¨ She introduced them and Shane smiled at her.
¨Nice to meet you Sierra.¨ She nodded.
¨Nice to meet you too Shane. Mitchie! I just left where they were counting-¨ But she was cut off as their student body president Emily Lincoln stood up on stage tapping on the mic.
¨Excuse me! Can we have all the homecoming candidates up on stage?¨ Mitchie turned to Shane with an uncomfortable smile. She moved away from him.
¨That´s me.¨ She edged her way through the crowd and onto the stage between Amy and the Jessica. Emily spoke for a few minutes, talking about the king and queen and such and suddenly Mitchie heard her name. Everyone was clapping but Mitchie didn´t know why.
Amy rolled her eyes and pushed Mitchie forwards. She looked around, the bright lights in her eyes. ¨Congratulations Mitchie!¨ Emily placed a tiara on her head and Mitchie´s eyes widened.
¨Wha...¨ But Emily stepped back up to the mic.
¨And for homecoming king...Leo Marcus!¨ Everyone applauded again and Emily stood on tiptoes to put his crown on. ¨And now the homecoming king and queen will share a special spot light dance.¨ Mitchie looked around.
¨Together?¨ Emily laughed and pushed the two down onto the dance floor. Mitchie stood awkwardly a foot away from Leo before he put his hands on her lower back basically forcing Mitchie to put her hands on his shoulders. ¨I´m Mitchie.¨ She said looking up at him.
¨Leo.¨ He said with a smile. ¨We´re almost done then you can go back to Shane.¨ He assured with a laugh and Mitchie sighed and laughed.
¨Okay. Then you get to go back to Nina.¨ She told him with a smile. Leo rolled his eyes.
¨Yay...¨ Mitchie looked at him quizzically. ¨Asked her out on a dare. Man I should have just paid the forty dollars.¨ He sighed and Mitchie´s mouth rounded out to an O.
¨Oh my god!¨ She laughed and Leo put his hand over her mouth.
¨Shh!¨ She nodded and quieted down.
¨Hi. I´m Nina.¨ She held out her hand and Shane took it warily. Sierra stepped up behind Shane. Nina eyed her carefully.
¨Shane.¨ He crossed his arms. Nina walked closer to him. ¨Go away.¨ He told her sighing. Nina was taken aback.
¨Well excuse me!¨ She turned and stormed off angrily and Leo and Mitchie approached them.
Leo made no attempt to stop Nina from walking away as he smilingly pushed Mitchie towards Shane. Shane wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her. Leo put his hands in his pockets and looked over at Sierra. He held out his hand. ¨Leo Marcus.¨ Sierra shook it timidly.
¨Sierra.¨ She smiled shyly and Leo gestured to the dance floor and held out his hand.
¨Wanna dance?¨ Sierra looked at Mitchie and Shane and nodded nervously. He pulled her out into the middle of the floor, dancing slowly.
¨Mitchie! We´ve got to go!¨ Shane pulled her out the side door and into his car.
¨Shane? Where are we going??¨ He put his fingers over her lips.
¨Shh. Just hang on okay?¨ She nodded and sat back, slowly buckling her seatbelt. Shane drove the car quickly though her small city. They ended up out on the very outskirts on the edge of a cliff that overlooked the city.
¨Okay now what are we...?¨ Shane put down the convertible top and pointed to the sky. Mitchie gasped, there were bright lights soaring above them. A meteor shower. Shane reached over and put his arms behind Mitchie´s back and under her legs and lifted her into his lap. He spread a blanket over the two of them and leaned his head against hers.
As the meteors flew across the sky Shane leaned forward and kissed Mitchie´s lips softly. But they didn´t pull apart, Mitchie put one hand on his shoulder as she turned to deepen the kiss. Shane´s tongue poked into her mouth eagerly. After a little while Shane pulled away.
¨Mitchie?¨ He whispered and his girlfriend turned to look at him, her lip gloss rubbed off, her hair that had been held in a delicate clip was now falling free about her shoulders. ¨I-I think I love you.¨ Mitchie pulled the blankets up around them and leaned her head in the crook of his neck.
¨I love you too Shane.¨
