CHAPTER 3

Mitchie's POV

I am getting a bit nervous, it has already been two months and Shane hasn't called me. Maybe he forgot about me. Could he? After all we shared these two summers? Maybe he has decided that my personality is not exactly what he liked. I hope not… I have been talking about it with Siera and I think she is a bit bored of hearing me talk about him all the time. Also, she has been texting someone a lot lately and when I asked her who it was she blushed and put her phone away and back in her bag. I think she is hiding something from me. Just a wild guess.

Today in the bus I felt like she wanted to ask me something, and that she was really nervous and scared of my reaction. Usually we tell each other everything so it was really weird, and a bit funny, seeing her acting so awkwardly. After a while, though, it was getting a bit scary. I have never seen her acting that way before. Her legs were twitching and she kept opening her mouth and closing it as if she was going to say something and decided not to. After a few minutes, though, I was getting really annoyed.

"What?" I asked her, when I couldn't stand her sending me these nervous quick looks.
"Well" she said, "It's just that…"
"Just say it." I told her.
"Okay. So one of the guys from my camp is really nice and cute, and, we've been texting each other lately, and he asked me to go with him to his fall dance in his school on December 22, and well, I told him I would feel awkward, so he said I could just bring a friend and she could be one of my friends dates. So because you are my only friend, pretty much, I thought maybe you could come with me. It would make me so happy and I am sure you will have fun too!"
I looked at her hesitating.
"I know that you might have a boyfriend, or whatever he is, but it's not really a date, it's just so my mom would let me go because otherwise she wouldn't, and also I'm sure Shane would not mind you going… Because really, it doesn't mean anything." She told me.
"I have to check with my mom…" I said slowly after a little pause trying to take my time slowly to think.
"I knew you would do it! Thanks Mitchie! I love you so much!" She hugged me and then went on texting her "friend".
"But, I am not sure I can come... I still haven't asked my mom yet." I said quickly.
"I am sure your mom would agree, she is a cool mom!"
'It's not about my mom, don't you get it?' I wanted to scream at her, but instead I just murmured, "But…" But, of course, Siera wasn't listening so I just let it go. I would have to go to that stupid dance, with her stupid friends, feeling stupid. Yay.

Actually I have to admit, but only to myself deep, deep in my heart, I am kind of excited about this dance. There is still like a month to go but I don't mind. At least it means I have something to wait for instead of a stupid phone call from Shane. Also, apparently the students there are really rich, and they are going to pick us up in a limo, and will come in tuxedos and we will come in supposedly expensive dresses, not that I have the money... Sounds like an ultimate prom, I guess rich students in rich towns could afford more than one prom. I just wish Shane could come with me. No, I should just stop thinking about it and be depressed, I will just be happy. One, two, three, I am happy.

So I really hope you like it… I feel like it's a bit confusing and if it is I am really sorry… Also, the chapters are becoming longer because I found out that one page in word is really short so I'll try to make them longer… Please comment and tell me what you think!
