Until You're Mine
Chapter Seven
"Thanks for the offer, though." Caitlyn said. I nodded.
"So, what are you going to do about the choreography?" I asked, since it was a dance song. Mine wasn't really a dance song, so I could just do what I did at last year's Final Jam when I sang, This Is Me.
"I'll probably ask Shane, Barron and Sander to help," Lola said. Oh, good choice. Those three are amazing and talented dancers. And I should know.
"Yup, those people really know how to dance." I smiled. It was true. Caitlyn and Lola agreed.
"Knock, knock!" Someone said, as we heard the doorknob turn to reveal Shane. He should probably just save his time and stop sneaking away from Tess; she'll obviously find him anyway. "Hello, ladies."
"Hi, Shane." We all greeted in unison.
"What are you doing here?" Caitlyn asked. "Tess is probably looking for you right now."
"Nah," He replied. "I'm finally done with her for the day." Caitlyn, Lola and I nodded our heads in interest. Not that we were interested in Tess.
"So, where's Nate?" Shane asked.
"With Barron and Sander.." Caitlyn replied, her voice trailing off.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go meet up with them now and ask for help with choreography." Lola stated. "Oh, and Shane, I need to talk to you during class on Monday for some help too.."
"Alright, is it for that song that Nate, Caitlyn and Mitchie wrote for you?" Shane guessed. We had a shocked look on our faces, wondering how Shane would've guessed. "Nate told me," he added.
"Oh."
"But yeah, I'll be happy to help you."
"Okay, thanks Shane. See ya guys later." With that, Lola rushed out the door, eager to find Sander and Barron. But they're most likely at the dance studio with Nate right now or at their cabin.
"What to do now?" I asked.
"Mind if I vent about Tess right now?" Shane said. What's his deal with Tess anyway? He's the one who asked her out in the first place.
"No, not at all," Caitlyn smiled, sitting on her bed, crossing her legs. She looked somewhat interested with what Shane has to say. Then again, she's interested in anything that has to do with trash talking Tess.
Shane grunted, "Ugh, I swear, there is something wrong with that girl! I mean, seriously, all I wanted was a simple relationship and all she wants is to win Final Jam. Hasn't she won already?!"
"Actually," began Caitlyn, "for the years I've been here with Tess, she's never won Final Jam."
Shane's eyes and mine widened. She didn't win Final Jam before?!
"How many years have you been here with her?" I asked curiously.
"Um, probably about two. This is our third year." So Caitlyn and Tess have been here since they were 12? They're the same age as I am right now, and we just turned 15.. So, yeah, I shouldn't be wrong.
"Really?!"
Caitlyn nodded. I don't know how we found this fascinating.
"Anyway, continue." Caitlyn motioned for him to go on by rolling her hands in small circles.
"Okay.. I don't even remember why I asked her out, or let alone thought she was somewhat attractive!" Shane was practically yelling at this point, not like he wasn't a few minutes ago.
"Why won't you just break-up with her?"
"Please, if I do that, she'll tell her mom and her mom would just probably tell the press to get back at me. This is going to be harder than I thought." Shane explained, running out of breath.
"Hold on, does the press even know you're dating Tess?" I asked.
"No.." He answered. "But they will know sooner or later that we did date."
"So what are you going to do?" Caitlyn questioned.
"Just avoid her for a while.. And probably start looking for another girl." Haha, he's such a player. Just kidding. Ooh, I know who your next girl will be! Me! Too bad he's blind enough not to see it. Hopefully he will. Some day.
"Don't worry Shane, I'll think of something." Caitlyn smiled mischievously. She was almost always involved with something that had to do with making Tess look bad.
"Okay, but nothing that mean." He approved. "So, where's Jason? I rarely see him anymore."
"Same," I agreed. "ever since he started dating Ella I don't see him as much. I mostly see him in class." Shane and Caitlyn nodded.
I sat on my bed, as Shane sat beside me. Did he want to get closer or something? Awkward.. "Mitchie.." He began. "I have something to ask.."
"Go on," I said, turning to him, while Caitlyn watched from her bed in amusement.
"There's no easy way to say this.. but.. want to go out sometime? Like, tomorrow or something? During lunch?" He asked. My eyes grew big. I couldn't believe it! Shane Gray was actually asking me out! I've been waiting for this moment forever! But I didn't imagine it with Caitlyn sitting there.
"Say yes, moron!" I heard Caitlyn say. How encouraging that was. And 'moron' wasn't an insult coming from her. Just to let you know.
"Um, sure. Yes. Great. Awesome." I stuttered a few words, but I didn't think Shane minded.
"It's a date then," he flashed his pearly whites. Oh, that smile made me melt ever so much.
"But wait," I had a bad thought. "what about Tess?"
He sighed. "As soon as I find a way to break-up with her, let's secretly date. But don't think of me as a player. I'm just a troubled rock star."
"Alright," I agreed. We turned to Caitlyn, waiting for her to say something.
"Fine, you're secret's safe with me.." She promised. "and Nate.." She added. I didn't mind Nate knowing either, though.
"But please don't tell Jason, 'cause he'll tell Ella and Ella might tell Tess." Shane pleaded.
I turned to face Shane again, who was staring deeply into my eyes. He's a sucker for beautiful eyes. So I've heard. I wrapped my arms around his neck, as he wrapped his around my waist. I heard a small "aw" come from Caitlyn.
"You guys make a cute couple. Better than Shane with Tess." Caitlyn commented. Shane gave her a look. "No offence or anything." She added.
"Aw, thanks, Cait." I smiled.
"You make an awesome pair with my brother, too." Shane replied.
Now that I've got Shane, I can finally focus on my music without getting any distractions.
"So, now that you guys are cool.. Shane, want to move in?" Caitlyn asked.
He shrugged said, "Sure.. If it's okay with Mitchie and Nate."
I giggled and replied, "Of course it's fine with me!"
"Alright, but if Tess hears about this, I moved because Nate didn't want to be the only boy in this cabin," Shane informed us.
"Fine with us," Caitlyn and I answered in unison.
"I'll move in next weekend, 'kay?"
"'Kay," I said dreamily, lost in those dark, brown eyes. I really couldn't help but stare into them. They're so beautiful.. How can you not?! "So what should we do tomorrow?"
"Something private.. like a picnic? Some place where Tess can't spot us.."
"You guys should go near the lake, but not near the dock. Tess will obviously find you," Caitlyn suggested.
"Besides, Tess will be too busy working on her performances," I added.
"Alright then," Shane smiled. "Should I cook?"
"Sure," I answered carelessly, still staring in those eyes. Shane didn't seem to mind. Now I can stare at him all I want, without him giving me strange looks. And trust me, that happened once or twice before.
"I'll just leave you two love birds alone then.." Caitlyn said. "I'll go meet up with Nate, peace." She walked out of the cabin, slamming the door behind her. But I didn't notice. Neither did Shane. Too busy looking at each other lovingly.
Call me strange, but I'm always like this when I have a boyfriend, or even when I like a guy. In this case, it's because of both.
I know this is moving too fast, but, I don't really care. Shane and I haven't even gone out yet and he's already moving in! We'll see what happens tomorrow.
