A/N: Not much Shane in this chapter, I really needed a chapter focused mostly on Mitchie. But there is surprise in store! OOH and I got The Camp Rock: Extended Rock Star edition on Friday! So that made me a very happy camper! (ha)
Disclaimer: I do not own Camp Rock.
"Well you look awfully cheery this morning." Sierra said to Mitchie as she approached her at her locker.
Mitchie turned and grinned. The smile lit up her whole face. Sierra gave her an odd look.
"How could something THAT good happen before 7:30 in the morning?"
Mitchie chuckled lightly. "It didn't happen this morning. It happened yesterday."
Sierra was now fully interested. "What happened?" She asked with excitement.
Mitchie adopted that bright smile again and couldn't even bring herself to say it. Instead she reached into her bag and brought out her digital camera. She turned it on and showed her the picture she took yesterday of Shane.
"Okay, big deal its just a picture of Shane next to the poster on your wa-" She gasped and took the camera out of Mitchie's hand to get a better look at it. "Mitchie is Shane Gr-" Mitchie slapped a hand over her mouth to stop her from shrieking it out to the whole school.
Once she removed her hand, Sierra continued it more softly. "Is this Shane Gray in your room?!"
Mitchie nodded practically bouncing up and down.
"Would you like to explain why?"
Mitchie squealed. "He flew out to see me. Again! And he brought me something."
Sierra's eyes widened. "What did he bring you?"
"A petition to get my web show back on."
Sierra gaped and Mitchie continued, "AND, I'm getting paid for it."
"No way!" She gasped. "You can't be serious!"
Mitchie nodded with a grin. "I am completely serious." She grabbed a book from her locker. "And we had a long talk afterwards and we became friends. We hung out for a while and then he stayed for dinner."
"And he wasn't a jerk?" Sierra questioned.
Mitchie shook her head. "Not at all!" She let out a squeal of happiness and shut her locker. "He was such a sweetheart and a real gentleman around my father."
"I'm guessing your father doesn't like him?"
"Didn't." Mitchie corrected. "Shane's good behavior changed his mind. But I think he still is a little worried about me."
Sierra nodded. "So, please if you don't mind. Tell details! I wanna know everything!"
So, as they headed to their first period class, Mitchie told her (just about) everything that she and Shane had done together. There were a few details she didn't want to give out to Sierra. Mostly the things that Shane had told her about his younger years. Although Shane said he didn't mind it so much, she doubted that he would want all his fans knowing. And she knew that if she told Sierra, someone would over hear and it would spread like wild fire. So she left that out. But she did tell her about how he played the piano and how he complemented her singing.
"And I felt so embarrassed when he saw my posters!"
Sierra's eyes widened, "Did he see the one behind your door?"
"No and Thank God!" She shook her head. "I think I would have buried myself in a hole."
"Well, he did pose for the picture, he must have known it's going to be hanging in girls rooms." Sierra pointed out.
"Yeah, stalker fan girls, not his new friend." Mitchie responded. "How many girls have a poster like that on their wall about their friends?"
"Well, if you're friend is Shane Gray….." Sierra replied in a soft voice. The class had started to pile in the class room and Mitchie didn't want anybody to know about her connection to Shane Gray.
"It was still very embarrassing." Mitchie said. "But he said it was very flattering."
Sierra 'awwed' and smiled. "It seems like you had a great time."
Mitchie smiled and nodded. "It was perfect." She let out a dreamy sigh and the bell rang. The teacher walked into the classroom and started the class.
Mitchie went through the rest of her morning classes with that same smile on her face. Often times, her teachers had to snap her out of day dreams. She just couldn't stop thinking about Shane. His very adorable smile, his warm, soothing voice, his laugh, the way he made her feel when he was close to her.
After the fourth period bell rang, she and Sierra headed off towards the lunch room.
They got their lunch quickly and sat down at the nearest empty table they could find.
They started talking about their history project that was due the next week when Mitchie's cell phone buzzed in her pocket.
She jumped in her seat in the middle of their conversation and Sierra gave her an odd look.
Mitchie took her cell phone out of her pocket showing it to Sierra. "My phone vibrated."
"Who would be calling you while you're at school?" Sierra questioned.
Mitchie shrugged and flipped open her phone.
1 New Message
"It's a text message." Mitchie said with a surprised tone to her voice. No one ever texted her.
She pressed a button to see who it was from.
From Shane:
Hey there!
Mitchie broke out into a wide grin and Sierra immediately knew who it was from. But she felt the need to ask anyway.
"Is that Shane?"
Mitchie nodded and replied back.
To Shane:
Hey to you too!
She shut her phone and placed it on top of the table so she could easily reach it. She turned to Sierra.
"You have his cell phone number?" She asked and once again Mitchie nodded.
"He asked for mine first and then when I gave it to him, he gave me his." Mitchie explained.
"What did he say?" Sierra asked eagerly.
She shrugged lightly. "He's just saying 'hi'."
Just then her cell phone buzzed again and she grabbed it quickly.
From Shane:
I hope I'm not interrupting any classes.
She quickly answered back.
To Shane:
Nope! You have perfect timing! I'm at lunch.
She sent the message and this time held the phone in the palm of her hand and started on her lunch again.
Sierra watched her in wonderment. When Mitchie saw the look she was giving her she questioned, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I don't understand how you can be so calm about this." Sierra said. "I mean…" She lowered her voice down to a whisper. "You're texting Shane Gray."
Mitchie opened her mouth to speak when her phone vibrated again.
From Shane:
Great! Is your lunch good?
To Shane:
Eh not really. It's school food.
From Shane:
Ha ha good point.
To Shane:
So, what are you up to?
She placed her phone back down and looked back at Sierra. "Sorry about that."
Sierra shook her head. "It's fine." She shifted in her seat and leaned her elbow against the table. "So, you were going to say something?"
Mitchie nodded. "Well, I don't really see him as 'Shane Gray'. I see him as Shane, just another friend." Her lips curved up in a smile. "Who is incredibly cute and incredibly famous." She added happily.
Sierra laughed and Mitchie continued. "Shane even said he didn't feel like 'Shane Gray' around me. He just felt like Shane."
Sierra gaped, "He said that?"
Mitchie nodded and bit her lip softly.
"Mitchie that is so sweet!"
"I know!" She grinned and let out a tiny squeal.
Her phone vibrated again and she flipped it open.
From Shane:
Talking to you. And listening to Nate and Jason argue….again. And I just got back on the bus!
To Shane:
Oh that's right! How was your flight?
She waited a few moments and then her cell buzzed.
From Shane:
Ugh! There were no more first class seats, go figure, so I get stuck on coach.
Mitchie shook her head and rolled her eyes. Pop stars.
To Shane:
Aw your poor baby.
From Shane:
I normally wouldn't mind that but I was seated next to this 30 year old woman who kept flirting with me and then right across from me were two 13 year old girls who kept giggling. I guess they were going to the concert because they were dressed, head to toe, in Connect Three gear.
Mitchie started laughing at that.
"What?" Sierra questioned now highly interested.
Mitchie handed over her phone to Sierra so she could look at the text message while still laughing. Sierra didn't start laughing but she did crack a smile and handed her phone back to her.
Just as she was about to respond, her phone vibrated again.
From Shane:
I finally gave in and gave them both an autograph but that made it worse. They then started taking pictures of me with their cell phones right in front of me!
Mitchie busted out laughing again and Sierra took her phone from her again to see what he had said. After a moment, she took her phone back and wrote back.
To Shane:
Well it seems like you've had a very interesting day.
From Shane:
You have no idea.
"Like Oh My God!" Mitchie and Sierra heard from right behind them. They both looked over their shoulders to see Gina sitting with her posse. "You will totally not believe this!" She was practically yelling her words and glanced over her shoulder, smirking at them, and then turned back. It was obvious to both girls that Gina wanted them to hear whatever she was talking about.
"I have Front Row tickets to The Connect Three concert tomorrow." She held the tickets in her hand and showed them off to her friends. They 'ooo'ed and some of them told them how lucky she was.
Mitchie and Sierra looked at each other with the same look on their face. They were both thinking the same thing. Who would be stupid enough to bring Connect Three tickets to SCHOOL with them?
She flipped her brown, curly hair over her shoulder. "And once Shane sees me again…he'll know we were meant to be."
Mitchie scoffed. She couldn't help it. Gina, knowing full well that she was listening, turned to her. "You're just jealous because someone like you could never afford to go to a Connect Three concert. None the less, get front row seats."
"It just so happens that I've been to a Connect Three concert." Mitchie told her. "And although it wasn't front row, it was pretty close and I got to go for free."
Gina rolled her eyes. "Yeah right." She leaned over in her seat with a smirk. "Tell you what Torres, when Shane and I are going out, I'll give you an autograph, alright?"
Mitchie made a face and was about to respond when her phone vibrated. She narrowed her eyes at Gina and then looked at her phone.
From Shane:
Mitch?
To Shane:
Sorry Shane, what? I got distracted.
Once the message was sent, she closed her phone and got back to glaring at Gina. Gina looked at Mitchie's phone in disgust. "Who in their right mind would text you?"
Mitchie had half a mind to tell her that it was Shane. But not only would Gina not believe her and she would probably get teased even more but she didn't want to run the risk of anyone finding out. So she stayed silent about that subject. "It's none of your business."
Her phone vibrated again.
From Shane:
You alright?
Despite her current little quarrel with Gina, she couldn't help but let out a smile.
To Shane:
I'm fine. Just having a little argument with someone from my school.
From Shane:
I'll kick their butts!
She broke out into a grin and completely forgot that Gina was there. Meanwhile Gina watched on in confusion. Mitchie giggled and typed back a response.
To Shane:
Shane! That won't be necessary.
From Shane:
You sure?
To Shane:
Positive.
"What did he say?" Sierra asked leaning over. Mitchie bit her lip and showed her the last few texts from Shane.
"Aww!" Sierra smiled. "He's so sweet!"
Mitchie nodded in agreement. "He's the best."
"Oh, does Mitchie have a little boyfriend?" Gina asked in a mocking tone.
Mitchie snapped her attention from the phone to Gina, her smile falling from her face. "That's none of your business."
"Are you embarrassed about him?" Gina asked innocently. "What is he a freshman?"
Mitchie gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes.
"It's ok Mitchie. I'm sure he's not THAT big of a dork." Then Gina made a thinking face. "But then again he IS dating you."
"You know what…" Mitchie slammed her fist down on the table and started to stand up when she was cut off by someone else.
"Wow, I didn't realize this was witch school."
The new voice that entered the picture sounded very familiar to Mitchie. She spun around to see Caitlyn standing there. "Caitlyn!"
Caitlyn smiled. "Hey Mitchie."
Gina looked up and down the new girl. "Who are you?" She asked in a repulsive tone.
"Caitlyn Gellar." Caitlyn replied happily. "And I know who you are."
Gina looked at her suspiciously, "You do?"
Caitlyn nodded. "Sure I do! You're the wicked witch of the East, though I could have sworn your face was green, but I am wrong from time to time."
Gina's jaw dropped and she scoffed.
"Go Caitlyn." Mitchie muttered with a grin.
Caitlyn gasped. "And these must be your flying monkeys!" She motioned to all her friends.
Gina's mouth open and closed a few times and then she turned around with her back to them without a word.
Caitlyn grinned in triumph and took a seat next to Sierra.
"Caitlyn that was so cool!" Mitchie exclaimed.
Caitlyn shrugged with a smile, "I do what I have to."
"What are you doing here?" Mitchie asked.
"I just moved here." Caitlyn explained.
"Really?"
Caitlyn nodded and Mitchie grinned. "That's great!"
It was then that Mitchie noticed Sierra who was sitting there silently. "Oh! Cait, this is like my best friend Sierra. And Sierra this is Caitlyn, my friend from Camp Rock."
Caitlyn held out her hand for Sierra. "Nice to meet you."
Sierra nodded and shook her hand. "Same to you."
Mitchie's phone vibrated again and she flipped it open.
From Shane:
Well I've gotta go. Nate and Jason are seriously bugging me.
"Who's texting you?" Caitlyn asked.
"Shane." Mitchie replied.
Caitlyn smiled, "Ooh, can you tell him to say hi to Nate for me?"
Mitchie nodded, "Sure."
To Shane:
Oh, alright. And tell Nate Caitlyn says hi.
"You're THAT Caitlyn." Sierra asked with wide eyes.
Caitlyn looked confused and looked to Mitchie for an explanation.
Mitchie grinned sheepishly. "I kinda, sorta told her you were dating Nate."
Caitlyn laughed and shook her head. "It's fine. I don't mind. She seems like she wouldn't tell anybody."
Sierra shook her head. "No, never."
"So Cait, is this your first day?" Mitchie asked.
Caitlyn nodded. "Yeah."
"Let me see your schedule." Mitchie held out her hand. Caitlyn rummaged through her bag until she found it and then handed it to Mitchie.
"Hey awesome! We have music theory together and choir!" She continued to look over the schedule. "Ooh and Math!"
Mitchie handed her schedule back to her and Caitlyn grinned. "Awesome! I'm so glad I have a friend going here."
Mitchie nodded in agreement. "This is going to be so much fun!"
Her phone vibrated again.
From Shane:
Um ok, Nate says hi back and I'll talk to you later ok?
To Shane:
Ok. Bye Shane
From Shane:
Bye Mitch.
She closed her phone and put it back into her pocket and then turned to Caitlyn. "Nate says hi."
Caitlyn smiled and nodded.
The three girls sat and just talked for the rest of the lunch period. Caitlyn explained that she had to move there immediately and the earliest that she could was in early September, so that's why she was there a week or two into school. Mitchie told Caitlyn all about everything that happened with Shane. Caitlyn 'awwed' a few times when Mitchie mentioned how sweet Shane was being. Then Caitlyn and Sierra started talking to get to know each other.
Soon enough the bell rang and the cafeteria came alive with moving high school students. Everyone started piling towards the door and Mitchie, Sierra and Caitlyn looked to where Gina was sitting before and saw that she had already gone.
Once the cafeteria was almost empty, the three girls headed towards the doors. Once they got into the hallway, Mitchie pointed over her shoulder. "Well, music theory is this way."
Caitlyn walked over and stood next to Mitchie for that's where she had to go.
"I'll see you later Sierra!" Mitchie called as Sierra headed off her own way to go to her next class.
Sierra waved over her shoulder. "See ya!"
Mitchie looked to Caitlyn, "Come on let's go!" She laughed and the two of them headed off to their class.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed the chapter!
I just have one question that I want your opinion on:
Do you want Smitchie right away? Or do you want me to have a few chapters of them being 'just friends'? I know we've had a lot of drama in this story already and I, personally, want to get to the Smitchie fluff.
So I want you guys to tell me your opinion on the matter! So, please, if you would be so kind in your review just tell me what you think!
