Hmmm, I love where the story is going right now, so I'm writing more. :) Mwuahaha. I'm actually addicted. I'm also watching Disturbia at the moment…lol random fact about Allison that you don't need to know: she loves watching movies. More than once, too.

I think I've seen She's the Man like at least 30 times. I have the entire dialogue memorized. :) Another random fact about Allison: she has no life. Baha.

Okay randomness tangent done…back to the story!

--

The next morning I had woken up more tired than usual. We had been out till about 2 in the morning talking with everyone, and Nate insisted that I stay with him so all the big shot intense men in suits wouldn't bore him. Coward, I know.

But see, he didn't have to get up at 6:30 the next morning. I, unfortunately, did. And Connie's rule was that if we were going to be out late partying with our rock star boyfriends, then we had to go to school the next day: no matter how tired we were.

By the time I had gotten dressed and arrived downstairs, I still wasn't out of my Zombie mode yet.

"Thank God today's Friday." I groaned, grabbing a piece of toast and lazily eating it as I sat at the kitchen table and let my head fall onto it, closing my eyes.

"Ditto." Mitchie moaned from behind me, also joining me at the table. It was quiet as we both just sat there, trying to get in a few more minutes of sleep before Connie said excitedly,

"Look, Connect 3's on HotTunes!"

Mitchie and I shot up at this, and what followed from the reporter's mouth made me want to go run and hide in my room for an eternity.

Last night band members Shane Grey and Nate Presley surprised girlfriends Mitchie Torres and Caitlyn Gellar in their private concert, and an entrance into the Red Carpet grand opening for their new Album, Wasted Time. The Band had apparently sold over 1,500 copies of their CD's last night.

But asides from their sales being red hot, Naitlyn seems to be on fire right now. After Nate sang Inseparable to girlfriend Caitlyn, it seems these two shared a more than passionate moment with each other. Check out these exclusive photos.

Yeah, and then as you could have guessed it…they showed Nate and I in an intense lip lock. And it looked like it quickly could have been more had we been in private. I groaned and let my head drop to the table, banging my head on it multiple times as Mitchie and Connie laughed at me.

"Oh shut up, Mitchie. All they did was show you and Shane gazing into each other's eyes. You don't have to deal with the whole world watching you and your boyfriend make out." I whined, dreading even showing my face at school now. Everyone was going to be talking about it I was sure.

"Aw, Sweetie, it's not that bad." Connie said soothingly, rubbing my back. Though I could tell she was trying hard not to laugh.

"Yeah, I mean I bet people didn't even watch HotTunes this morning." Mitchie added, though she too was grinning.

I threw some of my bread at her and glared. "You are so not helping." I said, "Ugh. This is horrible. Now everyone's going to be talking about it including Taylor. And it'll probably be in every magazine out there. I'm so stupid."

"It's really not that bad, Caitlyn." Mitchie said, switching off the TV. "I mean really, you two are in love, you guys are supposed to be kissing and stuff."

"Yeah but you and Shane are in love and you two weren't making out in front of everybody!" I protested, running my hands through my hair nervously.

Mitchie laughed. "That's because Shane is used to all the publicity, he knows better than to kiss me like Nate was kissing you, especially at such a big event like that."

I rolled my eyes, "Then why didn't you stop us?"

"How? Be like, 'Uhm Nate, Caitlyn, hate to break you two up but people are watching'? I don't think so. You knew where you were, you know they were going to take photos of you two."

I sighed, disappointed in myself. She was right. I had known that paparazzi were going to be there, and I had ignored it just because I was so into kissing my boyfriend. Ugh, my stupid boyfriend who was now probably going to be mad cause it was bad publicity for the both of us. Damnit.

Just then my phone began buzzing rapidly on the table. I sighed, but quickly snatched it up, seeing that I had just received 4 new texts. I read through each of them before replying.

The first was from Nate.

Did you watch HotTunes this morning?/

Second was from Shane.

Haha. Way to go, Caity. I didn't know you had that in you!

Third was from Jason.

If you need any help with some rude reporters, call me. :)

Awe, Jason was always so sweet. And the last was from Marleen, whom Jason had given me her number just this morning.

Dang, girl! Even I'm impressed. ;)

"Great." I said out loud, "Practically everyone knows." Mitchie frowned, as did Connie, and as we both stood up to head out the door I texted everyone back. First I replied to Shane just because he pissed me off the most.

Jerk.

That was all I had bothered to say to him. Haha. Next I texted Marleen,

Haha, you're SO funny. So I'm guessing you saw it too?

Then Jason, (can you tell I'm saving the worst for last?)

Aw thanks hun. You're so sweet. :-) Is Nate really mad?

And, the person I was dreading the most I now had to text. Nate. Oh the joy.

Hey. Yeah, I did watch HotTunes this morning. I'm sorry. :-(

Surprisingly, Nate was the first one to text me back.

Sorry? Babe, for what? I was just as much into that as you were. ; I'm just afraid you're gonna get some reporters at school…stay on the lookout, alright? And if any girls ask you anything, just ignore them 'cause you never know who could give out information to the press.

It kind of bothered me that, as usual, Nate was thinking about his reputation. But I guess it really did matter to him, and I was sure he had to deal with a bunch of really angry managers. And I bet Shane just found all of this amusing, which was probably adding on to even more of Nate's frustration.

I will. :-) I texted him back, Can I see you today? So we can talk all of this out.

Sure. I'll pick you and Mitchie up after school. I'll bring Shane, too.

Great. Love you. :-)

Love you, too. :)

By the time I was done with my phone conversation, we had arrived at School. I stopped and stared at it for a while, before taking in a deep breath and heading into the building, with Mitchie close by my side.

The school day actually didn't go too bad. Well, that was a little bit of an understatement. My locker was covered in newspaper clippings of the two of us kissing. (Yeah, that hit a nerve.) After I took those down, though, I was relieved to find that nothing else had been put on or inside of my locker for the rest of the day.

Taylor was out of town for some Cruise or something with her family so luckily, nobody had the nerve to actually say anything to my face. It was awkward though, because people were either smirking when they saw me, or just plain out ignoring me. I was lucky I had Mitchie and Sierra by my side though. They never let me feel out of the loop for the whole day, which was something I was incredibly grateful for.

The bell finally rang, signaling the end of class, and I quickly stood up and practically ran out of the school. I wanted nothing more than to be in the comfort of my boyfriend's arms. Okay, so maybe that's a little dramatic but still, I knew that after the day I had had, he was the only one who could really cheer me up.

To my surprise though, when I had come outside I saw 4 people leaning against the limo instead of just Nate. Shane was next to him, winking at me every time I made eye contact with him. And Marleen and Jason were also there. I was happy to see that Jason had his arm around Marleen, which must have meant that they had made up- to a certain extent anyways.

I quickly hurried over to Nate, setting down my bags as he pulled me into a huge hug. Shane was smirking so I kicked him in the leg with my foot as I buried my face into Nate's chest.

I heard a muffled, "Ow." Come from him, but after that he stayed silent.

Nate held me for a moment, before he began asking questions.

"So how was school?" He said softly, kissing the side of my head.

I shrugged, still in his warm embrace. "Not too bad. Taylor wasn't at school Thank God, and the most I had to deal with was awkward looks and glares."

I heard Nate sigh. "I'm sorry." He said, pulling away a little bit. I shook my head.

"It wasn't your fault." I was about to lean up and give him a kiss when I heard Shane clear his throat,

"You guys already put on quite a show last night, how bout you save the love for inside your house?"

However mad I was at Shane, I knew he was right. The last thing I needed was for everyone at school to see us kissing live. Ugh.

"C'mon, let's go." Marleen said, stepping away from Nate and slinging an arm around my shoulder. "Let's have a huge sleepover tonight."

Shane was about to interrupt but Marleen held up her hand, "Don't get all excited, pretty boy. It's a girls sleepover only."

Shane frowned, and I found the perfect opportunity to diss him, "In that case, he should be invited."

"Ohhhh!" I heard everyone say, as they laughed. I began laughing too as Shane glared at me.

"Dude that had to hurt." Nate said, slapping Shane on his back. I made a face at Shane as we all piled into the limo.

After asking Connie if it was okay, we agreed that the boys would stay until midnight before they had to leave. Once we had all got into our bedroom, Marleen and I pushed Mitchie's and my beds out of the way to the way side of the wall, so we had the whole other ¾ of the room to ourselves. We laid out our sleeping bags on the floor, so that the heads of them were towards the center kind of like a star thing, before getting dressed.

The boys lazily flipped through magazines of themselves (so self-centered. Haha) on our beds while they waited. Once we were all changed and ready, we came out and settled onto our sleeping bags.

The boys sort of stared at us for a long time. We were all matching in some way or another. I was in a pair of yellow Paul Frank pajama bottoms that had monkey faces all over them, with a white tank top. Mitchie was in a dark blue tank top, with light blue pajama bottoms with guitars all over them. I noticed that Shane couldn't take his eyes off of her. Marleen was in a pink tank top, with light pink pajama bottoms that had yellow cupcakes all over them. Jason was looking at her in a similar way Shane was looking at Mitchie.

Mitchie, Marleen and I all sort of looked at each other before Marleen said, "Should we go change?"

All the boys snapped out of their trance and blushed- even Shane.

"No, no. No need, we're fine." Shane said quickly, as both boys nodded in agreement. I raised my eyebrows at them but shrugged.

They then joined us on the floor, each boy with their girl, touching them in one form or another. Jason and Marleen were laying on their tummies, holding hands, while Mitchie and Shane were awkwardly sort of lying on each other in some strange way. Nate was sitting crisscross, and I was sitting in his lap, leaning against him.

We had a bunch of food in the middle, perfect for what we were doing. There was popcorn, chocolate bars, ice cream, chocolate syrup, and like anything you could possibly ask for. Including sodas.

"Okay," Marleen began loudly, "So I want to know about Caitlyn and Nate first. How did you two hook-up?'"

I grinned. "Well, we texted for like, two days. And then Nate flew over to my house and begged my parents to let me move to Mitchie's place. They listened, surprisingly. Then he gave me this bracelet and asked me to go out with him. I said yes." I laughed, showing Marleen the bracelet Nate had given me.

"Aw." She said, smiling at me, before turning to look at Mitchie and Shane, who were arguing over something, "Uh, love birds?" She asked, snapping a few times.

Mitchie and Shane looked over at us, "What?" They both asked.

"What are you guys doing?" Marleen asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Nothing." Shane said, as Mitchie glared at him.

"Shane's being a jerk." She said, shoving him away from her.

"What? How am I being a jerk? I just told you I loved you more than you loved me."

Marleen, Nate and I groaned. The whole 'I love you more' thing was so 4 months ago.

"Shane, grow up." Marleen said, as he glared at her. It was strange; Marleen had a way of taking the upper hand with Shane. She had some weird sort of control over him, and they always had arguments over stuff that didn't even matter. She actually was a complete bitch to him, but it was funny to watch. And they both knew that inside they were practically best friends. They just liked to give each other a hard time.

"Anyways," Marleen plowed on, overriding whatever Shane was going to retort back to her, "And you two met at Camp Rock, right?"

Mitch nodded, "Yep. Been dating ever since."

"Ah, so you're the 'girl with the voice'?" She teased, winking at Shane who scowled.

"I am the girl with the voice." Mitchie said, laughing.

Nate was beginning to play with my hair and I hummed appreciatively, closing my eyes for a brief moment. Marleen wouldn't let me stay in the peaceful period for too long, though.

"Woah, woah. What do you think you're doing? It's not even midnight yet- no sleeping!"

I opened my eyes and stuck my tongue out at her. "Fine." I said, sitting up a little but still staying close to Nate. "So how did you guys finally get together?" I asked, nodding my head towards her and Jason.

Shane piped up, too, "Yeah, I want to hear this story."

"Well, Jason and I talked about it, and we decided we would take things slow this time. No rushing into anything."

Jason nodded, "Yeah. Really make sure that this is what we want and stuff."

I smiled at the two of them, "Well, if it's any help, I think you're adorable together."

"Thanks." Marleen said, smiling back at me.

Once our conversation ended, it was time the boys left. I gave a quick kiss to Nate, before seeing him off. Then it was just girls, and we all settled back once again into our sleeping bags. We had discussed almost everything in front of the boys since we really didn't have any secrets around them, but I still wanted to know more about the Marleen/Jason relationship. I felt like they really hadn't talked about it very much.

"So I want details, Mar! You never really told us…I mean like, what happened? How'd you guys really fix everything? And that too, in one day?" I asked her, cuddling up with the stuffed kitty Nate had given me on New Years. (I had conveniently named her Bella.)

"Well, we had a really long discussion. I'm talking about a 3-hour conversation. We talked about what had happened at Camp Rock, that it was a mistake and that neither of us was ready to do what we had done. We agreed that we both still really liked each other and were ready to try a real relationship this time." She shrugged, "It was nice and it was something we had both really needed. When he had just left I had never gotten any closure. Now I feel like we're able to patch up our relationship. It's really comforting."

I smiled at her happily. The moment I had met Marleen I knew that she was the only person in the world I would ever be happy seeing Jason with. Whenever she was in the room I noticed Jason's whole face light up, and even though some girls might think it annoying that a boy was so whipped for a girl, Jason practically worshipped the ground Marleen walked on. But it wasn't annoying or childish, it was actually really cute. And I could tell that all 6 of us were going to become even closer now.

Also, I had noticed that Marleen was kind of becoming the glue between all of the couples. She was older than us, so that really helped. And it just seemed like she was really wise and knew what she was talking about, and what she was doing whereas Mitch and I were just sort of diving into this love thing headfirst. Mar had some really good tips and advice on what to do when it came to dealing with boys. And it was really nice; because now we both had someone we could go to.

"That's really great, Marleen. I'm so happy for the two of you, you guys are so cute together. Really."

She kept smiling as she settled into her sleeping bag, "We should get some sleep, huh? It's almost 2. And I think Mitchie's fast asleep already."

We both peeked over at Mitchie and sure enough she was already fast asleep without even bothering to climb into her sleeping bag. We giggled softly, before too, going to sleep.

"Night Mar." I said, closing my eyes.

"Night Cait." She replied, I figured also getting ready to sleep.
