Chapter two. (:

Here was my chance. Third period. I had this with Shane Gray and I even had to sit next to him, like in my next class I had with him, so double points. I still don't get how he didn't know my name, but I knew that this time, he would learn it.

As I walked in the room, people looked at me impressed. I was happy with all the attention but succeeded in not cracking a smirk at everybody. Right now, I was a nervous wreck, but I didn't show it. One of the things that I learned at Camp Rock was to never let the crowd know you were nervous, and I stuck to it.

I threw my bookbag on floor and slammed myself on my desk. I grabbed the textbook sitting in front of me and began to stall. I took out a piece of paper and scribbled my name on the top. I didn't look up as I felt Shane slam himself on the desk next to mine. I felt him staring at me. My insides were practicing gymnastics for the Olympics at the thought that he actually might have noticed me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I stared at him like I he was bothering me, but in my head, I wanted him to, but Shane Gray doesn't have to know that.

"Nothing... Are you really... Mitchie Torres?" he said, reading my name from the top of my paper.

I looked at him like he was crazy. "You've had me for three classes last year, I went to summer camp with you and you don't know my name?"

"No I do, I just..." he looked at me up and down. I was in an uncomfortable position acting this way. I didn't want him to never talk to me again, but figured that if Tess Tylers could get away with it, so could I. He continued his sentence with a sudden beat to the script, "You're very pretty, you know that?"

I tried not to smile and succeeded at it. I looked him weird while tilting my head and thanked him. He smiled at me widely and it started to drive me insane. It was working. I couldn't believe it. Shane Gray noticed me!

The teacher interrupted this monumental moment and said, "Okay, guys, open up your books to page forty-six and answer the questions. They are due at the end of class."

The class buzzed all over again like she hadn't said anything, but in truth, you could see people already asking people the answers. I looked down at the paper, Shane's eyes still on me. I felt like turning around and asking him why he was doing that, but I acted like I didn't even notice. From the corner of my eye, I could see him chewing on his pencil eraser and looking at me intensely. Is he hitting on me?!

"Baby!" an obnoxious voice yelled. I could see Tess Tylers wrapping her arms around his neck. Since when were they dating? Oh, so he had a girlfriend but was checking me out? That screamed jerk, but then I realized that he might be the only person in this world that liked me more than Tess Tylers.

I could still feel his eyes as Tess kissed him all over his face. He didn't respond to any of her touches. He looked at her real serious when she stopped, surprised he hadn't done anything. I could not believe what I was about to hear.

"Tess, I have something to tell you..." he sounded real serious. I wondered what he was going to say as I tried to answer the question about The Diary of Anne Frank. "...I think we should end this."

Tess looked destroyed. She even asked him if he was kidding, but he assured her he was serious. Could this get any better? Tears started running down her cheeks, ruining her perfect make up and she ran out of the room leaving the teacher in mid-word. I was wide eyed when I still felt Shane looking at me. He just made The Tess Tylers his ex-girlfriend and all he could do was look at me. I could tell he was searching for my reaction, to see if my face lit up somehow to let him know if he had to make his move now.

I didn't answer any of his imaginary questions and remained expressionless. I didn't want him to think I liked him, that would most likely make him lose interest and that's not what I wanted.

When the bell rang, I walked out of the class and didn't give Shane a second look, but he gave me many looks, and they all lasted exactly five Mississippis.

Caitlin looked at me then at Shane, who was talking to his best friend. Caitlin made her eyes go wide and I laughed. She didn't want to be too explicit about my crush on Shane, so she and I spoke with our eyes and expressions.

Shane was watching my every move the entire day. I went to lunch and sat with Caitlin and Peggy, and he sat two seats from me purposely just to watch me. His friends were teasing him like crazy. I could even heard his brother when he passed by with his friends sing, "Shane and Mitchie sitting in a tree..."

I held in my laughter when Shane hit Nate's head with his bread.

Then, the weirdest thing happened. Shane sat exactly next to me, making Caitlin's eyes go wide. When he put his arm around me, I blushed and Peggy started giggling.

"So beautiful, how about we go out some time?"

And that was the beggining of the rest of my life.

Thoughts? :D Did I make Shane move too fast? I don't know, I think I did. Hahaha, anyway, tell me what you think. ;D
