only seven more days of school for me!! that's good for you guys, because it means more updates. and it also means i'm no longer a freshman, which is probably the best news of all. xD

this chapter isn't as exciting as you probably think it's gonna be. ;) there's a reason for that, bbs.

btw, do you guys think "oh hell" is like mitchie's catchphrase in this story? 'cause it just hit me that she says it a lot.

and fyi? i'm texting the brown-eyed boy.

chapter ten:
you drain the life of me

My fingers shake with anticipations because oh my God, Nate is asking me to fucking Homecoming.

"Oh hell," I whisper, and hold up the phone to Caity, who immediately gapes at my phone. "Caitlyn, what do I say?"

Caity brings a hand to her hair and shakes her head. "No, no, no, Mitchie. Say no. This is bad, okay? Abort mission. You're screwed, chewed, and tattooed if you say yes to him."

Her calmness startles me, but I no and respond quickly to Nate with "idk" because I really DON'T know and why should I give him the closure he hasn't given me?

"Hey, I have an idea. I'm meeting Jason for pizza in an hour. Care to come? God knows Pizza Hut can cure the worst problems," Caity smiles encouragingly, her last sentence melodramatically. My eyes are starting to well up with tears from all the stress, so I just nod weakly and swallow the lump rising in my throat.

I put on my favorite pair of skinny jeans, black Converse, and my red leather jacket. When I look in the mirror, I feel sort of pretty and confident and it doesn't seem so bad.

Jason picks us up In the car Shane drove me home in when I was sick. My heart beats a little faster.

"You still have that mixtape I gave you?" Caity laughs when the same mix CD that's been jammed starts to play. "Damn, Jay. You're really attached to Taylor Swift."

I cringe. Taylor Swift is MY joke with Shane.

Jason blushes and shakes his head. "No, um, the CD thing is jammed. I gotta get it fixed."

Caity kisses his cheek and rests her hand on his leg. "Just kidding. Do you mind if Mitchie comes with us?"

Jason turns to me and smiles. "No problem! Except she can't text her mom while we're eating."

I laugh and nod my head at our inside joke. He really is nice, and Caity was right when she said he's not like Nate – not a douche.

We get to Pizza Hut, and when we walk in, the smell of cheese and tomato sauce and herbs makes my mouth water.

"Who are you going to Homecoming with?" Jason asks me casually when we sit down, and Caity smacks his arm like she really doesn't want him to talk about it. Jason winces, and I bite my lip.

"Um..." I stutter a little. I have no idea what to say.

"I'm sure you'll find someone," Jason reassures me, but smiles anxiously and I suddenly realize that oh shit, he knows that Shane asked me to Homecoming.

Caity clears her throat. "So...do we want extra cheese?"

lol caitlyn. srsly.

please review with more than "wtf katie no conclusion why didn't mitchie say yes why are you such an effing sadist!!" or "so...cute?" or "i loved it," or "ud soon," por favor. :D
