Chapter 12-

*You've always had me here in your grasp,

My hear is home at last.

Can't help but want to hold you close,

Keep whispering what I want to hear the most.

Kiss me quickly under the crystal stars

Let's run away together, forget the cars.

All I want is you right here,

Lend me your heart, listen with your ears.*

Mitchie sat her guitar on the ground and looked up at the blue sky. Everything in her life was such a blessing, such an amazing adventure. If you told her on the last day of school, last year that she would be falling in love soon, Mitchie would have laughed at you. If you told her it would be Shane Grey she would have hit you and said stop dreaming. Dreams were something she believed in now. If you went through life without hoping for something better, you'd be miserable. Dreams keept you moving toward a goal to do better, and that is exactly where her dreams lead her. She thought about the canoe ride after final jam last year, and a smile came to her face. Everything moved forward since then and improved, rendering her speechless.

"Apparently you liked the song." Mitchie said, pulling her paddle into the boat.

"Well yeah, I spent the entire summer trying to find you, and you were right under my nose. I feel like Jason right now." Shane replied.

" So where do we go from here?" Mitchie vocalized.

"Up, we go up from here. We hit the bottom and now we are forced to go up."

"I'm glad we can go up Shane but I want to know, I want to know if were going to be just friends or.."

"Mitchie, from the day I met you I instantly had a crush on you. I know we hit a rough patch, and your forgiven for the mistake you made. I understand that you wanted to be popular, but I just wished you would have been honest with me."

Shane leaned in and kissed Mitchie. His hand graced over her leg, giving her butterflies throughout her body. He leaned back and started to paddle again, smiling.

"Well I guess you still have that crush." Mitchie replied.

She looked down at her phone and realized she had 20 missed calls. Who ever was blowing up her phone was going to get a quick call and a nasty attitude.

"Mitchie, is that you." Shane chocked through the phone.

"Yeah what's wrong?" she replied hotly.

"Tess. She stole Kaitlyn's computer and I thinks she's going to burn it. Don't confront her Mitch.., she wants you to get in trouble."

"Why would you call me, now I want to kick her a…" Mitchie stopped speaking and looked over her shoulder. A few feet away Tess's cabin door was wide open, and Mitchie was forming a devious plan.

She grabbed a roll of plastic wrap and a ladder, skipping happily into the cabin. She noticed the open box of tampons that accompanied Tess's suitcase and grabbed them immediately. After an hour she looked back at the work she completed. All of Tess's tampons were plastic wrapped to the ceiling in the letter B, standing for what she was proving to be. Mitchie turned around on her heel and went back to her cabin, making herself extremely comfortable. Tonight, Tess was going to learn that Mitchie left the cute innocent girl home, and if she wanted to play hard ball, Mitchie was more than up to it. Take that superficial Barbie.
