The next day, Shane couldn't concentrate at all at school. Normally Mitchie would talk to him, but today she was acting as if he didn't exist. She didn't even glance at him once today. It was the last period and the teacher went on lecturing the class. Shane glanced at the clock by the door for what seemed like the millionth time and the minutes past by slowly.
Why is she suddenly avoiding me? Did I do anything bad? He thought desperately. He approached her at lunch, but Caitlyn would just simply drag her away and she would send him an apologetic look.
Last period dragged on and on. Shane needed to talk to Mitchie right now and he wouldn't take no for an answer.
When the final bell rang, Shane dashed to Mitchie's locker quickly. He sighed in relief when he saw that Caitlyn wasn't with her and she was alone.
"Hey Mitchie." Shane said.
Mitchie jumped slightly as she heard his voice. "Err…hi." She said awkwardly and looked around the hallways.
"Can I talk to you… alone?" He asked impatienly and urgently.
"I'm kind of busy." Mitchie lied.
"Please, Mitch. It won't be long." He begged.
Mitchie sighed, knowing he won't stop bugging her. "Okay fine, but make it quick." She said softly.
Shane smiled and grabbed her arm. He dragged her outside of the school.
"Where are you taking me?" Mitchie asked worriedly.
"Just to a near by bench. So we can talk." He answered.
"'Kay…" she said softly.
Shane stopped once he reached his destination and both teenagers looked at one another nervously.
"Um… lets sit down." Shane said while he gestured to the bench.
Mitchie slowly nodded and both of them sat down awkwardly.
" I-I was just wondering. Mitchie… do you hate me?" Shane asked slowly.
Mitchie gasped, "No! Why would you think that?"
"I don't know." He said lamely and shrugged. "Maybe because you've been avoiding me for the whole day."
Mitchie laughed dryly. "Don't think that Shane. I could never hate you." She gave him a soft smile.
"Why were you avoiding me then?" He asked.
Mitchie looked down, avoiding eye contact with him. "Well, I'm still the new girl here and you're like the most popular guy in this school."
Shane stared at her, confusion written all over his face. "What do you mean?"
"We're just so different. I'm some boring person and you're the guy that everyone wants to hang out with. I-It just makes me feel weird, you know." She smiled sadly. "Plus, Caitlyn isn't too fond of you either." She added lightly.
Shane stared at her in shock. "Mitchie please, you're not boring. Who cares what Caitlyn thinks! She can't automatically control your life and decide who you can't hang out with. Also, it felt so weird not talking to you today." Shane took Mitchie's hand, making her look up to him.
"It felt weird? Why?" She questioned him curiously.
"I love spending time with you." He said gently. "You're the most beautiful, smartest and amazing person I've ever met." He looked deeply into her brown eyes and realization occured to him.
"Shane…" Mitchie said and took in a sharp intake of breath.
"Do you remember when I apologized to you and told you that I couldn't understand my feelings towards you that day?" Shane said shakily.
Mitchie nodded slowly, looking deep into Shane's eyes.
Shane gave her hand a tight squeeze and continued, "I think I know exactly how I'm feeling towards you now."
Mitchie gulped and whispered, "How?"
Shane sighed, "I really like you Mitchie."
Mitche felt her heart melt and a warm smile played on her lips. "Me too, Shane."
Shane shook his head and chuckled softly. "Fuck the word 'like'. I'm in love with you, Mitchie Torres."
Mitchie's eyes widened. "What?" She gasped. "No, that's not possible. You can't love me. I mean, you're Shane freakin' Grey!" She said quickly.
"I love you." He said again, simply. "I tried so hard and told myself over and over again to not to fall for you, but I just can't help it. Don't you realize how amazing you are? Sure, I've had plenty of girlfriends in the past, but whenever I'm with you, I just feel like… Shane."
"Shane…no, stop it. Take back your words." She said brokenly, as tears began to form under her eyes. "I'm just plain old Mitchie and you're-"
Mitchie gasped as Shane pulled her towards him and crushed her in to a hug. Shane's hands went around her waist firmly and she slowly wrapped her arms around his neck. Mitchie buried her face in the crook of his neck.
Shane made her feel so good and she smiled softly. Mitchie shut her eyes and suddenly, flashbacks occurred to her.
"He's like the rudest guy in this school. All he cares about is having a good reputation and "hot" girls!"
-----
"The biggest pervert of all-Shane Grey is in that class as well."
-----
"Any girl that falls for him must be crazy!"
-----
"Look Mitch, you're still new here and I'm just advising you. Not everyone you meet in high school is sweet and kind… you just have to watch your back. I'm not saying this because I hate Shane; I'm saying this for the best for you… Just try your best to stay away from Shane. Trust me, I've known him for seven dreadful years and I know exactly what type of guy he is. Just… be careful."
-----
Mitchie's eyes shot open and doubt filled her mind. O god, what would Caitlyn think once she found out? She thought. Mitchie immediately pushed him away harshly and a look of disgust crept onto her face.
Hurt flickered across Shane's dark brown eyes. "Mitch, what's wrong?" He asked tenderly.
"Stay away from me!" She sniffed. "You don't love me, stop lying to me!"
"Mitch, I do! Why don't you fucking believe me?!" He yelled.
"Because you're Shane Grey!" Mitchie yelled back as tears began to appear.
Shane winced slightly. "Please, believe me." He begged.
"No." Mitchie breathed out. She got up and quickly walked away from him, leaving him all alone.
Shane had the urge to follow her, but he knew she wouldn't listen. He sighed and walked, dejectedly to his car. She's not going to get away that easily. I'm going to prove to her that I love her. He shut his eyes as he tried to think of a way to make Mitchie his.

I just wanted Shane to confess his feelings. Don't worry, they'll get together soon.
Review please. :)
