And here we go...


It had been two months since Connect 3 had finished their tour early as Nate had fallen ill. He was diagnosed with Diabetes and this would definitely change his life... But I think he will be fine. Nate is so strong and he will not go down without a fight. I however, worry about him a bucket load and watch over him like hawk. I just... I love him so much and if anything ever happened to him again especially if I wasn't there again... I just wouldn't know what to do with myself.

It was time for all us kids to go back to school. For the boys to face screaming fans, mostly girls. Sigh. And for myself and Mitchie would have to watch all these stupid girls swoon over our boys. It was going to be hard... and it's not like we hated school enough... but it's something we have to deal with now.

Miley Stewart or uh, 'Hannah Montana' was going to come to our school now seeing we were her 'friends'. Joy. And Jason would be taking a holiday to Australia. He fell in love with that place the first time all the boys went there.

Well I was all dressed, in some dark blue denim skinny jeans, a black with white and red detailing Motley Crue shirt and some black vans. My hair was down, long and messy. I had a black, studded handbag which I threw all of my shit into. Ugh, first day back at school here we come.

I quickly checked myself in the mirror one more time then ran out of my room, closing the door behind me. I skipped downstairs, jumping and missing the bottom two and ran towards the door. "MOM, DAD I'M LEAVING. OKAY BYE." I yelled quickly and ran out the door. I got to the front and Nate was standing there, looking gorgeous. I ran into his arms. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me on the forehead.
"You do know your parents aren't home right, you do remember yeah?" He asked with a laugh. The family was currently on a big world holiday. Reason being, Justin was going away to college and also the rents were opening a couple new sandwich shops around the US. Pretty exciting for all of them. They really wanted me to come, but I had just been on a big tour, plus I didn't want to leave Nate while he was sick.
"I know, I'm just being a loser." I said with a giggle. He laughed and put his arm around me as we walked to his new car. He opened the door for me and I jumped in.

"We're meeting Shane and Mitchie at school, Shane just left to pick her up." He said with a smile. My jaw dropped slightly.
"Are you kidding? I thought we were all going to rock up together!" I whined. Nate laughed.
"Don't worry; we're all going to meet in the car park." He said. I sighed.
"Fine, fair enough." I sat back in my seat as he started the car and we set off to return to hell.


"Hey Mitchie!" I squealed running up and hugging my best friend. "How exciting to be back at school right?" I said bluntly. Her smile faded too as we pulled apart.
"No shit Alex. I'd prefer to go back on tour and deal with Ms Montana." We both burst out laughing. Sure we all decided to 'work things out. But what Miley put myself and especially Mitchie through... it can't just be forgotten with a click of the finger you know? "Don't even worry Alex, I think we should make our senior year the best it can be! I mean come on, we've got senior prom this year! It's going to be amazing!" She exclaimed excitedly. I smiled in agreement.
"Ugh whatever, I suppose. I am not wearing no stupid dress again though."
"Its prom idiot you're going to have to!"
"Ugh! Screw life." I said laughing. We all giggled and then headed for the entrance of school. I grabbed Nate's hand and Mitchie grabbed Shanes. As we opened the door everybody sort of turned to look and whisper about us and the boys of course. It was really weird, but they all ended up just smiling and waving as we walked by, saying things like 'Congratulations on the tour' or 'You guys are awesome." Things like that. It was really cool, I think the boys really loved the good feedback. We all smiled and walked to our lockers which were all pretty close.

"Well that wasn't too bad." Nate said to Shane.
Shane nodded."Yeah it was pretty cool; everyone seems to love the music." The boys high-fived while me and Mitchie rolled our eyes, taking books out of our lockers.

-X-

Well it was finally lunch and the day had dragged on like a mother f$^& (you know what I'm getting at.) but it was only lunch time. But at least lunch is fun. Oh yeah I like lunch. As I was walking towards my locker to put my books from last class away I saw Nate leaning against it. He had his hands shoved into the pockets of his skinny jeans, and he looked just... amazing. As always, of course. I grinned as I walked up to him. He instantly pulled me into a kiss. I giggled as we pulled apart. I placed my hands on his shoulders and pushed him away. "You're going to get us both in trouble rockstar." I laughed.

He grinned one hell of a beautiful smile. "Come on, let's go to lunch." He said as he intertwined his fingers with mine. I smiled as we walked into the cafeteria. I saw Shane and Mitchie instantly and we walked over to join them.

"Hey guys!" Mitchie said giggling.
"What's up Mitch?" I said with a smile as Nate and I sat down. "So where's princess Miley?" I asked scoffing in the process. Mitchie and Shane laughed.
"Oh come on guys..." Nate complained. "Be cool. It's her first day here and it's senior year... she's going to have it hard!" We all looked to the floor.

"Yeah I suppose." I said sighing.
"Hey look there she is!" Shane said pointing her out of the crowd. She was holding her tray smiling. "HEY MILEY, OVER HERE!" Shane yelled. Miley didn't even look. We saw two girls walk over in her direction and smile at Miley. Mitchie and I gasped when we saw them. Gigi, some new bitch Tess and their little followers.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Mitchie said while she gasped. I shook my head.
"Should have known, right?" I snapped.

"After everything..." Mitchie said quietly. "Like forgiving that bitch after what she did to all of us!" Her voice rising in volume. "I should just kick her ass!" I laughed and we high-fived. The boys however, thought otherwise.
"Girls, seriously? Don't you think that's a little immature?" Nate asked. I shot him a look. Was he kidding? We were being immature? I don't think so.
"Yeah like, maybe Gigi and Tess just recruited her and she has no choice and she doesn't even know what they are like yet..." Shane said agreeing. "Either wait she will most likely find out the hard way." He continued as he picked at his food. I sighed Shane was probably right. Suddenly I heard a girl scream. We all whipped around and over just next to the table Miley was sitting at, was a girl covered in yogurt from her chest down. We all gasped, everyone else in the cafeteria laughed. We didn't laugh seeing we knew Gigi's way. And of course there was Gigi laughing her head off, while the girl covered in yogurt screamed at her. Then I noticed something.

"Wait a minute..." I said staring at Miley who was licking clean a spoon and holding a tub of yogurt. "No fucking way." I mumbled to myself standing up. I quickly ran over to their table, with Mitchie following close behind me.
"Oh hey Alex, Mitchie!" Miley said grinning ear to ear. I frowned at her.

"What the hell are you playing at Miley?" I asked angrily. "Why did you do that?" I said pointing to the girl who ended up running off crying. Miley, Gigi and Tess starting laughing themselves silly.
"It was funny and she deserved it, she sent us a nasty look so we got her." Miley said with a wink.
"Wait." Gigi stopped us all from talking. "How do you even know them Miley, they're the biggest losers ever!" She said as her and Tess started laughing. I folded my arms.

"Shut the hell up Gigi before I punch you in the face!" Mitchie said angry as hell. She was fuming.
"Oh yeah, Gigi, we met Miley on tour." I said with a smirk on my face. "We shared a bus." Mitchie started giggling. Miley sent us a death glare.
"What why were you on tour with them?" Tess asked Miley. Miley looked to the ground nervously thinking of an answer.

"Oh we're old friends, aren't we Miles!" I cut in with a fake smile. Miley stared daggers at me. And slapped on a fake smile.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." She said bluntly. Mitchie and I turned around and went back to our table.

"Losers." I heard Miley mutter as we walked off. I turned around and shot her a look. What the fuck was she playing at? Mitchie and I rolled our eyes and returned to our seats. Nate and Shane looked up curiously. I sighed.

"Well you were both wrong. Miley's still the bitch she was on tour." I said. Mitchie scoffed, agreeing.
"No shit." She mumbled.

"You're kidding?" Nate asked surprised. I'm guessing he was more surprised seeing she and he had become close in the hospital as well.
"Yeah she was quite nasty then." Mitchie said. Nate widened his eyes.

"Far out." He muttered.
"Once a bitch, always a bitch." I said with a sigh.

"Don't let her get to you guys." Shane started. "She's probably just trying to fit in." He shrugged. I looked at Mitchie and we shook our heads.
"Whatever." We both said in unison.


The school was holding a senior year carnival at the school oval for a back-to-school type of thing. Mitchie and I were currently in my bedroom, looking for something to wear. We were doing the whole girly thing, like holding clothes up to us in front of the mirror and then throwing them on the ground after criticizing ourselves quietly in our heads. "Tonight will be so much fun." Mitchie said grinning.

"I know, I can't wait to ride the Ferris wheel with Nate." I said fantasying about how great and laid back tonight will be. Mitchie giggled.

"Do you think this would look okay?" She said holding up a pair of tight black leather pants and a cropped plain white tank top. "With some red pumps and lips?" She said grinning ear to ear.

I smiled. "Oh Mitchie you always look great! And that outfit is amazing!" I said truthfully. She grinned and started stripping her clothes to put her picked outfit on. Ugh, now what the hell am I to wear?

I ended up deciding on a grey bodycon singlet like dress with black stockings and black ankle boots. For my makeup I had neutral/nude lips with big, black dramatic smokey eyes. My hair was just down and messy, as was Mitchies. Once we were ready to go Mitchie and I ran downstairs, grabbing our handbags in the process and ran out the door and over to the Gray's house. The boys were walking out the door just as we walked up the front steps.
"Hello Beautiful." Nate said smiling as he walked over to me, wrapping his arms around my waist. I grinned remember when I first heard him sing 'Hello Beautiful' on the Australian talk show. I blushed and looked up at him.
"Hey hansom." He smiled back at me, looking into my eyes.
"Okay if you two love birds are ready any time soon, Mitchie and I would like to go to the carnival." Shane said with his arm around Mitchies shoulder, as he and Mitchie giggled to themselves. I rolled my eyes.
"Alright, alright we're ready!" I said laughing. We all walked over to Shane's car and jumped in and set off for the school.


"Oh wow, this looks great!" Mitchie squealed as we entered into the now 'showgrounds.' The school oval did look pretty awesome. There were rides and food stalls everywhere. There was even jewellery and iPhone cover stalls! Plus candy stalls like cotton candy and everything gummy. But wow, just so many rides. This was going to be a fun night.

As we started walking around and checking everything, the boys spotted an arcade with heaps of games and begged us to let them go play. We just laughed and let them go. There was a live acoustic set playing and Mitchie wanted to watch. And to be honest, I wanted some damn cotton candy so I walked off going to go find some. Suddenly, I was stopped. By who else? Gigi, Miley and Tess. All wearing... well next to nothing. It wasn't even that hot and they were wearing bikini tops I sighed and muttered 'fuck' under my breath. I folded my arms.
"What do you want Tess." I said annoyed. The girls snickered.
"You know... everything we want, we get." Gigi said in a bitchy annoying tone. I rolled my eyes.

"So what?" I asked. The all laughed again. Was I missing something...?
"So I want a ride with Nate on the Ferris wheel." Tess said smiling, and looked like she was day dreaming.

"Yeah nice try, not going to happen." I said turning around to walk away.
"Oh hey Alex!" Miley called.
"What!" I screamed turning around. Just as I turned to face them, I saw Miley standing closer to me then she was before. Next second, I felt a cold liquid being poured all over my head, dripping onto my face, back and stomach. The girls were now bursting out laughing, as were a lot of other people standing around. The three mean girls high-fived while I stood there covered in what seemed to be a blue slushy.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" I screamed, almost in tears.
"Oh quick Alex, you better run along home... You look terrible." Gigi said with a disgusted look on her face. And then the tears started flowing. I started running, as fast as I possibly could. I listening to them laugh and taunt until I couldn't hear them no more. I didn't bother telling the others I had left, if they were to ask, I'd tell them I would be back soon... which I would. I just had to get changed... and fast.


Regular POV.

Once Alex had made it home, she quickly stripped off all her clothes and jumped into the shower, giving her hair a quick wash. Once out and dried she grabbed some dark blue denim skinny jeans and a black and pink New York Dolls shirt. She slipped on some black flats. She let her hair air dry as she ran back to the carnival.


"Wait where did you say Alex went again?" Nate asked as he and Tess made their way onto the Ferris wheel. Tess was pretty new to the school as well so Nate hadn't really gotten to know her with his busy schedule and such. He knows she wasn't too nice to Alex the other day at school but he decided to let it slid in his books as he likes to see the best in people and hope for a different side.

"Oh she said she went home because she was feeling well and that she will call you guys when you are leaving to catch up." Tess said sweetly with a smile. Nate nodded and believed every word.
"Oh okay sweet." He said. "So you ready for this ride." He laughed. "Not scared of heights or anything?" He said with a wink. Tess swooned and laughed.

"Of course not!" She said with a big smile as they sat down in their seats on the ride. The bars went down and they were ready to ride. The ride started and off they went. "Wow you can see everything from here!" Tess squealed as it went higher and higher. Suddenly it stopped right as it got to the top; obviously more people were getting on. Tess squealed this time of fear.

"Oh hey hey, you alright?" Nate asked caringly. Tess sat their shaking. Little did Nate know, she was putting it all on.

"Okay... so uh, maybe I l-lied..." She stared. Nate laughed.

"You're scared of heights aren't you?" She nodded.
"Oh Nate, hold me." She said leaning in. As awkward and weird as Nate felt about doing this, he did anyway. She was scared and he wanted her to feel safe. So he wrapped his arm around her shoulders casually. Tess secretly grinned maliciously. Her plan was working.

"I feel so much better already!" Tess said nuzzling her head into Nate's neck. Suddenly Tess looked down and saw Alex standing there. Just watching sadly of what was what happened. Tess smiled and waved at her, in a bitchy matter. Alex's expression didn't change. She had wanted to ride the Ferris wheel with her boyfriend. It's all she had wanted to do that night. Tess looked over and smiled at Miley and Gigi, giving them a wink and smirk. She looked at Alex again and then did something unforgiveable. She looked up into Nate's eyes. He looked back smiling and then next thing she did was crash her lips into his. Alex's heart broke the second she saw that. Mitchie happened to see it and screamed out "NO!" running over to Alex, who was now in sight. She ran over to her best friend grabbing her hand, howling crude words at Tess above them. Who couldn't even hear above the music that was being played around the carnival. Alex stepped back slowly in to the crowd watching as their ride finished and Tess purposely grabbed Nate's hand. She didn't want Nate to see her so she ran.


Nate had no words what so ever after what had just happened with Tess. He just ended up leaving and going home to find Alex. He couldn't comprehend anything and he felt so confused. He walked home with his hands shoved deep into his pockets, feeling guilty and messed up. He kept his eyes on the ground the whole way. As he turned into his and Alex's street he heard music. Loud music. He ran down the footpath and as he got closer he realized it was Alex's house. Was she having a party? He quickly ran up her front steps and opened the door. There were people everywhere. There were half naked people, alcohol... probably drugs. 'What the hell was this? An hour and a half ago Alex was at the carnival now there's a huge party going on in her house?' He thought to himself. He quickly barged in and saw Alex dancing on the kitchen counter, wearing a different pair of Mitchies leather pants and no t-shirt... just a black lacy bra. Nate figured she was clearly drunk. He walked over to her. She spotted him and laughed.

"OH NATHANIEL YOU DECIDED TO COME JOIN MY PARTY INSTEAD OF THE ONE IN TESS'S PANTS!" Alex yelled laughing.

Nate's face fell and had anger written all over it. But also guilt washed over him too. He didn't know Alex had seen them kiss. He didn't even ask or want that to happen.

"Alex let me explain, please." Nate begged.
"NO!" She screamed jumping down off the counter. "How dare you! You cheated on me! This is unbelievable! You're the first boy I ever loved, the first boy I gave all of myself too! But that's how it always goes right? Someone HAS to get hurt or cheated on and look! I'm both!" She screamed slurring her words. "I hate you." She said pointing at him. "You just go away. Get out of my life."
Nate looked down at the floor sadly. "That will never happen Alex. I will prove to you I wasn't the one who asked for a kiss." He turned around ready to walk for the door. Then stopped and looked over his shoulder at Alex. "And you may hate me now, but Alexandra Russo I will love you for the rest of your life."
