I tried not to distract myself with the sight of Shane in the front of the class teaching us a new piece on the piano. His beautiful day nearly made me forget Tess' 'declaration' earlier on that day, just nearly. We had been working on that piece for the past three classes as well as on song writing and a bit of guitar. Nate and Jason were both left with the task of improving our song writing skills aswell as teaching us the drums, and other instruments that I dont want to think about now. Not that I was complaining, but the other half of the class who only took music to stare at Shane's delicious bod, if I may say so, and had no music skills what so ever were definately complaining. I was just glad that Shane didnt have to share his classes with Jason and Nate. More eye candy for me.

Davide saved a seat for me, next to him at the corner of the room and I was glad that Jaosn made them remove all of the desks from the room - they were'nt even neededfor music. So now all of the chairs were circumferencing the room, leaving an enormous space in the middle where Shane was playing.

Honestly, anything that Tess says about Shane and her or just Shane in particular intimidates me. I get jealouse, and more insecure, actually because even now that we are together it still seems too surreal - just like a dream that I;m afraid to wake up from. Shane was abviously oblivious to my encounter with Tess and honestly I didnt believe her. I'm supposed to trust Shane. Isn't that what relationships are about? Trust, right? But at first I did have second thoughts becuase Shane is just so vulnreble. I dont know...I'm just afraid of losing him becuase he is so out of my reach. I was gonna tell him about what Tess said though....just to see if there is a change in his facial expression. I trust him and all, but I was gonna tell him about it.....I definately was just to inform him that Tess is still dreaming. I do trust him, just to let you know again.

I was spending half of my time staring at Tess who was on the other side of the room, looking like she could do something to Shane any second now, and by something, you know what the hell I mean.

"Could you stop mentally undressing him, Mitch? It's grossing me out." Dave complained.

I turned towards him, stunned that he could read my mind, or even worse - see what's going on in my mind and found heat rushing to my cheeks and my eyes lowering to my feet. " I was so not doing that, Italy." I lied. "I...I don't like him anymore r-remember? I don't....I hate his guts."I tried reminding myself, with the words I was aying to Davide after which I realized Hollywood would never want me. I was such a terrible actor.

'Yeah, right, and the world is coming to an end in 2012." He said, looking at Shanw who had just finished his little demenstartion and the class erupted in applause to which I did not join because I had to convince Davide and Caity that I have nothing to do with Shane although it kind of makes him look like the bad guy, but I did tell Dave and Caity to not let what happened between and me come in between them.

"These are the music sheets." He said, walking around the room and handing a piece of paper to each one of us. "I'm sure you guys must have got the hang of this piece by now, after two classes, but this paper will help you guys out, and then I'm always here for your help." He stated, showing his beautiful smile. I couldnt help but notice that when he was handing Tess the sheet she intentionally took it in a way that she could touch him. I wanted to bitch slap her but had to keep myself out of control because no matter what she says Shane is mine at the end of the day. Shane is mine. Oh, it feels so good to say that. Well, untill it lasts anyway. Gingers crossed - untill we're married with two kids and losts of grandchildren running around us and we could al-

"Davide." Shanes voice cut through my thoughts. He smiled giving the paper to him and then moving on to me. Even though I wanted to pull a Tess Tyler and touch im and maybe kiss him and do some other stuff that I'm not thinking about now, just incase Davide can actually read my mind. Of course I restrained myself. Good self control. Shane threw a smile my way which I tried very hard not to mirror. I was supposed to hate him.

"Mitchie, atleast say thank you or smile." Caity nudged me.

"I don;t feel like it." I shrugged, but honestly I wanted to smile at him and kiss him. Yes, I know I sound a little crazy, but he is such a good kisser, and Tess was somehow right even though she was lying. Yes, She was lying. But I can't help myslef. I'm a teenage gilr with hormones drining me crazy here with the guy I've wanted all my life. Blame the hormones - the best way out.

"I intentionally took my sweet time putting my things back in my backpack after the bell had rang because I knew both Caity and Davide had classes after music while I enjoyed free period so they wouldnt stop and wait for me and thankfully I saw Tess leave early too.

I heard the sound of the classroom door closing and smiled at myself when I felt Shane's presence behind me making me feel warm even without touching me. I had finished putting my stuff in my backpack by then and was about to face him when I felt his warm arms wrapped around my back and hands on my stomach. "Free period?" He asked, knowingly, his face resting on my shoulder.

I turned towards him, still maintining the closness. "So do you." Playing with the neck of his T-shirt.

He smiled back, pulling me closer and kissing me."You're really playing this 'I hate you' game seriously, right? It's fun seeing you all angry acting. Interesting." He added with another smile.

"I see you cant keep your eyes off of me." I teased, looking up to meet his honey eyes. They were sparkling, just like the way water sparkles when sunlight falls on it.

"I see you cannot stop doing that either, but I have to admit I was disssapointed when I saw you looking at the other side of the class. You know, I would have understood if it was a guy you were looking at, but....Tess?" He chuckled.

"Tess...." I sighed, placing my hands around his neck. " I hate her."

"I know..." He smiled down at me, kissing me again, but this time I didn't let it end. I clung onto him, kissing him harder. "Forget about her. Honestly, she just seems like a very sad person." Shane muttered at me, throwing back a few strands of my hair behind my ear and smiling at me.

"She said that you asked her to be your girlfriend." I admitted, staring at his face frantically trying to read it. "You wanna forget about her now?" I said, trying for it to come out like a joke, come out lightly, but I didnt quite succeed. Maybe I'm just better off with my mouth closed at times?

"You believed her, didnt you?" He asked, now still looking down at me, but with my face in his hands.

"I'm sorry....I just, I was surprised at what she said, but it was only for a second...I promise. I knew she was lying. She had to be." I defeneded.

"I understand, Mitchie. There's no need for you to be sorry. There ar so many things you're gonna hear about me and hald of them wont even be true. You'll just have to learn to live with them. It comes along as extra baggae with me...." He stroked my hair. "Or...we could tell the world about us and then Tess wouldn't be bothering you because we would be kind of official?" He asked, and I felt so sad, so defeated. There was a tint of hope somwhere in his eyes that I didnt want to lt down, but I knew I would have to.

"Tell the world and add the extra bagagge?" I laughed lightly. " That's when people will go carazzy, Shane....absolutely nuts."

"I guess, love." He said, dissapointed. "I guess..."

"So what happenes if someone comes in now?" I joked, mocking his smile.

"I locked the door." He informed. "And plus, I dont have class till last period. Just a couple of seniors. They are actually really good." I nodded understandingly as he continued. " Talking about teaching, Nate wants to quit."

My eyes widened as I took in the news. "Music? .....music....Nate wants to quite Connect 3? The band?" I asked in one breath, my hands falling to my sides and me taking a seat on one of the numerous chairs. I could literally feel tears brim my eyes and myself choking. Connect 3 were breaking up? This cannot be happening. I always knew I hated Nate and now I'm going for his life, let me just find that curley haired guy. Just wait.

"If Connect 3 are breaking up then that's news to me." He laughed, taking a seat next to me. "We're not breaking up, Mitch. You need to stop jumping to conclusions like you always do. It's not a good thing." He said in between laughs.

"What did you mean then, you idiot? Connect 3 are okay? You guys aren't breaking up?....Please don't?" I asked, slightly embarrassed.

"We're not, silly." He chuckled, wiping the nearly dry tears that had drained my flushed cheeks. "I was saying that Nate...My brother..."

"I know who Nate is." I told him eargerly, wanting him to say whatever he was about to as soon as possible so that it would stop me from having a possible heart attack.

"Just checking because sometimes you are fascinated by shorts and forget what a T-shirt is so, the possibilites of you remembering my little brother are kind of slim, ya know?" He joked and I hit his knee, smiling brightly.

"That was just one time and I was drunk - the state in which you are not in your senses."

"I know what drunk is." He smiled.

I raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Just checking."

"Okay, yeah so anyway, Nate is not really feeling this teaching thing and has been saying for sometime now that he isnt really the right guy for it." Shane explained and I nodded, pretending like I was really interested, but all I really wanted was for him to cut the long story short and tell me what the conclusion of whatever was happening would be. "So, he was thinking of quitting this music thing and maybe enrolling in the school."

"What do you mean enrolling in the school? As what?" I asked, slightly excited, slightly anxious.

"As a student. Don't you think it would be great?" He beamed and I mirrored his proud smile. "I mean, it hasnt been very long since the school year has started and Nate has always wanted to learn like the rest of us do. There is no fun in sitting at home and being homeschooled all alone when all the kids your age are having so much fun at school and making new friends. It would be such a great chnge for him, and he's really excited about it."

"That would totally be great! No more Nate acting smartass because he's my teacher....I'm so freaking excited!" I screeched, nearly falling from my chair. "Yeah, and I could get to hang out with him even more.....and so could Caity!! Just think, they'd have classes together. I'll have classes with him....this is awesome. Maybe he could do my homework for me!!!...you know him being the intelligent one and all...." I joked, lightly.

---

Turns out having Nate in the school as a student wouldnt be such a great idea because you know he would always be with us. Not that its a bad thing, but I need to be away from everyone when I'm with Shane and he is Nates bother so I dont think secretly meeting in school will be working too well from now on.

"And then she actually came with a sissor to get a piece of Jasons hair!" Nates voice cut through my thoughts as I joined into the laughing, not really knowing what the hell they were talking about.

"I think the fan was after Shanes hair but couldnt find him so took mine since I was nearest." Jason protested which brought another stroke of laughter coming out from our table. We were all currently at a resturant enjoying dinner and Nate and Jason were busy entertaining everyone with their fan stories while the rest of us, except me of course were listening with earnest interest while I was busy stealing glances at Shnae who was sitting across from me. Justin made sure that happened. So, now I was sitting in between Jus and Dave. How wonerful. I wasn't going to argue, even though I really wanted to sit next to him....I really did.

I laughed dreamily this time thinking about Shane even though he was just in front of me sending small smiles my way. I carefull dabbed the sides of my lips with the napkin provided and placed it on the table, slightly slouching as I breathed out heavily. I ate so much I wouldnt be surprised if I burst any second now.

"So, the school is really taking you, Nate?" I asked, smiling.

"Why? Is that a bad thing?" He asked, suddenly curious.

"I wouldnt worry about it, you'll have fun." I winked.

"What does that mean, Mitch?" Jessica asked, laughing.

"Yeah, what does it mean?" Nate asked, nervously.

"Well, you were a teacher all these days..."

"Yeah, so?"

"So, the girls didn't really dare mugging you or cutting your hair for instance...." I explained taking a sip of my coke. "But now...you're a student. They are gonna be on to you, boy." I laughed and so did the rest of the crowd. "Like seriously, Nate they are gonna be tugging and tearing you....have fun....."

"I wonder what Caity has to say about this?" Shane asked with a smug expression, everyones eyes turning to Caity.

"Hey, I have no problem!" She exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air, like she had surrendered to something. "He's a good boy." She smiled, shyly.

"Yes, and if you were actually paying attention Mitchie honey..." Nate smirked. " Then, we were just talking about that junior girl with brunette hair who was trying to cut of our hair..."

"Thats the point, good boy..." I laughed lightly. "She had enough guts to do that when you were a teacher imagine what she'll do when you're a student just like her."

"Mitch, stop scaring the guy....you'll be fine Nate." Davide smiled.

"Just watching out for the 'good boy'..." I teased.

"She's on crack dont mind her, Nate..." Jessica assured...tapping Nate lightly on his back. "But you can always count on her to save you....so you'll need her around."

Everyone suddenly started giggling and I showed my tounge out to Jess....we are such good friends.

I went back home with Connect 3. Me and Nate sitting in the back while Jason and Shane in the front....Nate was going on and on about how excited he was for joining school from the next week. I didn;t want to scare him futher...although it was fun seeing a afraid Nate I have to admit.

I watched Jasons SUV park inside their front yard after dropping me off home. Well, I couldnt actually watch it because there was of course a fence bordering our homes but I could tell by the red and yellow lights that he was parking and I listened carefully, standing at my front door, but ears on the other side of the area as the three brothers left their vehicle and chatted while entering their house. I stayed outside till the sounds of thier voices dissapeared and I heard their front door slam closed. I sighed, and looked at my keys. Mom would be asleep now because she had to wake up early to go pick dad up from the airport tomorrow morning. I wonder if he bought the chocolates I told him to from Europe? European chocolates are sweeter thats why I like them more. Shaking my head again, and smiling idioticly at myself I turned the key in the lock and felt a hand apt me lightly on my back.

Sure that a burgler had come I immidiately turned around ready to scream my lungs out when I felt my mouth being covered and myback being pushed against the hard brick walls. I didn't need to think any longer as to who it was whn I felt his hands on me. It was Shane of course. His touch was enough for me to distinugish him from a crowd of a million and even though it was dark and not much light was out I could see his eyes glittering and see the small smile that played on his lips. I saw the was he wriggled his nose, trying to calm me down and the way his face relaxed when I finally silenced myself.

"You scared me!" I hissed, trying to get my breathing back to normal and trying to stop the huge grin on my face from hurting my cheeks any longer.

"Why, yes I love you too!....I came to kiss you goodnight, by the way...." He said, brushing aside my hair. "I came in from that small piece of broken fence." He guestured to my 'secret passageway'

"I knew that would come in handy someday." I smiled, kissing him. He kissed me back and I felt so warm and so good. I wanted more and he didn't dissapoint when I felt his soft lips on my neck causing me to shiver slighlty and moan in pleasure. I bit my lip, my hands clutching his biceps. He returned back to my lips after trailing small kisses on my neck and I found myself kissing him more fiercely. I wanted him. I wanted him so bad.
