Not my best chapter, but it will get better, and more random (which I love), next chapter. Ha ha! Enjoy!
"Hey look guys, it's the Emo Itch," Kelly spat before laughing with her posse.
"What do you want Kelly?" Mitchie didn't even turn around to face them. She decided on focusing on her locker.
"Oh, I just wanted to say—"
"Mitchie! I got the demo CD done for tonight! It sounds amazing! I was finally able to get the instrumental parts done," Caitlyn cut off Kelly. Kelly eyed the CD and snatched it.
"What's this? A CD showing your hopes to be a singer? Please, like you'd be accepted in the music world," Kelly scoffed.
"Actually," Shane took the CD from Kelly's hand and handed it to Mitchie. "She already has been accepted. We're just trying out some of her songs for her first single," Shane responded smirking.
"Shane..." Mitchie was blushing, hard. "I didn't want news of that to come out already..."
"It doesn't matter Mitch. It was bound to happen anyway. Besides, rock star boyfriend, remember?"
Mitchie jokingly rolled her eyes. "How can I forget when you remind me every minute of every day?"
"Can't help it. It's all part of the rock star image."
Kelly was getting annoyed with being ignored so she finally spoke up. "Listen Itch, here's the thing. You're voice is okay but it will get you nowhere in the music world. You'll probably have only, like, one CD. You're good but amateur at best. You're just gonna crash and burn so, see you, loser." Kelly walked away with her posse, smirking when she saw Mitchie looking slightly offended and hurt.
Shane noticed Mitchie's expression and wrapped his arms around her protectively. "Don't listen to her Mitch. She only wants to mess with your head."
"Yeah, I guess," Mitchie muttered. Caitlyn comfortingly put her hand on Mitchie's shoulder.
"Come on, Mitchie. Shane's right. Kelly always was a bitch anyway. Come on, let's get to music class," Caitlyn said, trying to get Mitchie's mind off Kelly.
"Okay class, today's a free period so you can do anything you want but it has to be musically related," the teacher said before turning to her computer to work on some things. Some students played with their instruments while others sang together. Mitchie and her friends sat around Caitlyn who had her laptop out. She had put in Mitchie's demo CD and the others wanted to listen. The music played but it was a little loud so it caught everyone, even the teacher's, attention. Soon, almost the whole class was surrounding them. Most of them were bobbing their heads to the music.
Don't walk away like you always do this time,
Baby you're the only thing that's been, on my mind.
Ever since you left I've been a mess, (You won't let it go far)
I'll say it once,
And I'll leave you alone,
But I gotta let you know.
You were the only one I wanted.
And you were the first one I fell for
You're the only one that I've been needing,
And I don't want to be lonely anymore.
(Get back) Get back
(Get back) Get back
(Get back) Get back
(Get back) Get backI wanna get back, get back,
I wanna get back, get back,
Get back!
I wanna get back, to the old days,
When the phone would ring,
And I knew it was you.
I wanna talk back, and get yelled at
Fight for nothing, like we used to.
Oh kiss me, like you mean it,
Like you miss me,
'Cause I know that you do.
I wanna get back, get back, with you.
So look at me that way, I see it in your eyes.
Don't worry about me, I've been fine,
I'm not gonna lie I've been a mess, since you left,
And every time I see you,
It gets more and more intense
I wanna get back, to the old days,
When the phone would ring,
And I knew it was you.
I wanna talk back, and get yelled at
Fight for nothing, like we used to.
Oh kiss me, like you mean it,
Like you miss me,
'Cause I know that you do.
I wanna get back, get back, with you.
I wanna get back, to the old days,
When the phone would ring,
And I knew it was you.
I wanna talk back, and get yelled at
Fight for nothing, like we used to.
Oh kiss me, like you mean it,
Like you miss me,
'Cause I know that you do.
I wanna get back, get back, with you.
Oh kiss me, like you mean it,
Like you miss me,
Cause I know that you do,
I wanna get back, get back,
When the song ended, the whole room, except for Kelly and her posse, was clapping, including the teacher. She got up from where she was sitting and walked over to the group.
"That sounded great guys. Who was that singing and who made the CD?" she asked them.
Mitchie blushed but still answered. "Uh, I was the one singing and Connect Three was singing back-up but Caitlyn put it all together." The teacher nodded, obviously impressed.
"There's also a couple more tracks," Caitlyn added, which surprised everyone and Mitchie, but didn't faze the Connect Three boys. "There's this song, Get Back, and there are also Trash, Forget, and Shadow."
"But I never recorded Shadow or Forget with you. Or did I?"
"Actually, you didn't. Remember before you left, you played that song, Shadow, for Shane even though he was asleep?" Mitchie nodded. "Well, Barron and Sander were spying on you, and I was spying on them and you, and when I saw you with the guitar, I recorded you playing it."
"You did what?"
"Hey! Shane recorded you singing Forget when you were going through your dark stage!"
"Shane, you did what?"
"Well, I thought your songs were very impressive Mitchie. Good luck with the record deal," the teacher said before walking away. Mitchie turned to the others.
"How did she find out about that?"
"It may have slipped when she asked why I had a CD and brought my laptop earlier..." Caitlyn trailed off.
"Caitlyn!"
"I'm sorry!" Caitlyn put her hands up in surrender. "She just asked so many questions!"
Mitchie rolled her eyes. "Okay. I forgive you."
Later that night, Nate left his and Jason's room after Jason fell asleep and quietly tip-toed into Kenny and Shane's room. He had to roll his eyes at the sight in there. Shane had left the TV on and Nate knew this because Shane's upper body was hanging off the bed while his legs were stretched out on the bed. Nate went over to Shane, hoping to not wake up Kenny, and shook him.
"Shane. Shane! Shane, come on. Get up!" Nate whispered.
"Aah!" Shane groaned as he fell of the bed. "Dang it Nate!" he whispered back. "What do you want? It's like eleven or something."
"I need to talk to you about something."
Shane smirked. "Girl trouble?"
"No. It's Jason."
"Oh God. Please don't tell me you have feelings for him."
Nate rolled his eyes and threw a pillow at Shane. "No stupid. Something's up with him. He's dreaming about Zack again."
"Who?"
"Zack? Zack Kendall! That kid who changed Jason."
"Yeah, I don't get what's the problem. Or why Zack is bad, again. Look, can you just bother me about this in the morning? And by morning I do not mean the break of dawn." Shane glared at Nate who rolled his eyes. Even at this time of night, Shane could still use sarcasm.
"Fine, I'll see you in the morning."
"Good morning sweetie," Mrs. Gray greeted warmly as he older-middle son came down the stairs. Kenny and Nate were already eating (cereal for Kenny and eggs and bacon for Nate) and their father was sipping coffee as he read his newspaper.
"Mornin' mom. Mornin' dad," Shane yawned as he sat down. He quickly took some bacon and started eating it. He watched as Kenny started messing around with the cereal box. Kenny looked like he was going to tear it apart but all he wanted was the toy, which he couldn't find. Nate noticed his younger brother's frustration and found the toy for him. Kenny was grinning widely.
"Nate? Shane? Can you go wake up Jason?" their mother asked. "He normally doesn't sleep in this late." Nate nodded while Shane shrugged but still, both went up to Nate and Jason's room. There they found Jason, still in bed, mumbling something while holding a stuffed toucan. Jake seemed to be still asleep, too. Nate went over to Jason's side and shook him.
"Jason? Jason? Wake up bro. Jason? Jason!" Nate raised his voice as he shook Jason. Jason just pushed Nate away by putting his hand in his face. Shane laughed as Nate groaned in annoyance. After a moment's thought, Nate said out loud, "Jason! Jake is trying to fly away!"
"NO!" Jason's eyes immediately shot open and he attempted to jump towards Jake's cage but instead, he landed on top of Nate who glared at him. "Sorry." Jason smiled sheepishly.
"Yeah, whatever. Listen man, we need to talk."
Jason got off of Nate and sat on his own bed while Nate sat on top of his own. Shane pulled up on a rolling chair. "Okay, what's up?"
"Why are you dreaming about Zack?"
"Huh?"
"Zack. Zack Kendall?" Jason looked at Shane who just gave him an 'I have no idea' look. "The guy who was like four years older than you, became your best friend, and then left you alone in that arcade," Nate explained bluntly. He noticed Jason cringe when he said 'best friend'.
"Five," Jason whispered.
"What?"
"Zack is five years older than me."
"Fine, five. But don't change the subject. Why are you having dreams about him?"
Jason thought about explaining until he decided that it was the right thing. "Before, when Kenny was kidnapped and I had to save Sander, I saw the face of the hired kidnapper after I knocked him out and nearly killed him. I had this annoying thought in my head that kept on telling me that he looked familiar." Jason gulped before continuing as he looked at his brothers. For some odd reason, they felt like they knew where this was going. "I think Kenny's kidnapper was Zack Kendall."
Just so you know, that was a cliffie but a weak one. Yeah so, you know what to do.
