Sorry I haven't updated in a while! My computer was broke, and every time I tried writing on my mom's laptop she would come and spy on me. Valid excuse, right? (:

MITCHIE'S POV:

There was a new girl in town.
She had it all figured out. (Had it all figured out)
And I'll state something rash.
She had the most amazing...smile.
I bet you didn't expect that.
But she made me change my ways. (She made me change my ways)
With eyes like sunsets baby.
And legs that went on for days.

I unwillingly opened my eyes. I was in a happy/mad/sad/ bi-polar mood. Today was the day Connect 3 was coming..but tomorrow I'm going on what I hope will be the best vacation of my life. My best friend, Caitlyn and I are going to the Bahama's. By ourselves. No parents what-so-ever! It took a whole lot of convincing, but their parents realized that, though they were only 17, they were capable of taking care of themselves. For two weeks, anyway.

I walked over to my closet before realizing I had already packed all of my clothes into my suitcases. I walked back over to my suitcase and pulled out a turquoise All Time Low shirt, and put on a pair of light washed denim shorts. I brushed my naturally curly hair, deciding I wouldn't torture it today with any heating tools. I put on some mascara and a little foundation and walked downstairs. I saw Caitlyn and my mom in the kitchen. Caitlyn, eating Captain Crunch, and my mom making some pancakes. It had been this way ever since Caitlyn moved to Rhode Island. I took a seat next tto Caitlyn and reached for the remote, turning the tv on to Hot Tunes.

"..We'll have more on that later. Next, everybody knows that Connect 3 is on their summer tour, but our producers noticed something fishy. They're stopping in the small town of Central Falls. Strange. Why, you ask? Not only is it weird that they're stopping in a city that has a small population, but that's the home town of Grey's ex, Mitchie Torres. Torres and Grey broke up about a month ago, without any information released. Coming up later, Lindsey Loha-"

Caitlyn turned the tv off and looked over at Mitchie. "I never thought about that. I mean, I knew they were coming to Central Falls, but I never stopped to think why." She said, slightly excited.

I shrugged. "Maybe they felt bad for never stopping at small towns." I said, taking a bite of some toast.

My mom came over and put a large stack of pancakes on the table. "Honey, you have to admit, it is a little..ironic." She suggested. "Alright, now you two gotta get out of the house. I have important people coming over, so don't come back for a few hours." We tried to protest, but eventually, she got her way and kicked us out of the house.

"So..The Commons?" Caitlyn asked. The Commons was a hilly feild over looking a lake. It was really pretty, and not too many people went there besides us. I wouldn't blame them, there isn't much to do. There is a swing set, lots of hills, a big apple tree, more hills, and a lake thats always too cold to swim in. We got there to find that we weren't the only ones there. Which was surprising, since it was a Friday morning, most people would be sleeping in. It was a group of boys, but they didn't look too familiar.

Caitlyn and I sat under the big tree and talked. About the Bahama's, about Courtney Jorins, the bitch of our school, and Micheal Andrews. The kid that moved here halfway through the school year. All the girls had a thing for him. He had the whole, mysterious bad boy thing going on. He was shy, though, but some how, Caitlyn had befriended him. He would tag along when we went places, sometimes. I didn't mind. I could trust him. We never really talked, but I knew I could count on him if I ever needed him. Come to think of it, we only really had one real conversation..

FLASHBACK:

We were at my house. By 'we', I mean, Micheal, Caitlyn and me. We were watching Jeepers Creepers, and Caitlyn got scared and had to go pee. I thought of this as a good time to get to know each other.

"So, Micheal." I started. "How do you like it here?" I asked.

He shrugged, not looking me in the eye. "It's alright. Better then my old place." He said, the last part in a whisper.

"Made any friends?" I asked. I was determined to get him to open up.

"Caitlyn. and you." He said, looking up at me, as if he was asking if we were friends.

I nodded and gave him a soft smile. "I don't have many friends either. You and Caitlyn are all I need."

"I'm sure you need someone else." He said. There goes that 'mysterious' thing again.

I shot him a confused look. "What do you mean?"

"Don't get mad." He warned, slightly turning his body to face mine. I nodded in return. "Caitlyn told me about Grey."

I felt tears spring to my eyes, but I pushed them away. It was hard to explain the feeling, but I wasn't mad. I was actually relieved. "It's okay. I'm not mad." I explained.

He nodded. "He's a asshole, Mitch. You deserve much better. I know we don't talk a lot..but I'm glad you're my friend." He said. It was almost cute how shy he was.

"Me too." I said. "And thanks."

We kept talking for a while longer. He became one of my best friends, after that. But we never talked again. I mean, we talked, if you call those 5 minute conversations we have during class, or his snarky comments about kids he doesn't like talking. But no more real conversations.

"..And that's a Sparrow!" A male voice boomed from a while away.

"Nobody cares!" Another, very familiar voice snapped. I knew that voice. I looked at Caitlyn and could tell she was thinking the same thing.

"Do you wanna get out of here?" She asked. Before I could respong, the group of boys were in front of us. I sucked in a big breath. I tried to avoid eye contact, but that was impossible.

"Caitlyn! Mitchie!" Jason's very, verrrrryyy happy voice greeted us. "I can't believe you guys are here! Well, I can believe it, since this is where you live, but here you are! Right here!" He babbled.

"Dude, just stop talking." Nate rolled his eyes. "Nice to see you guys." He said, offering a small smile. I got up and wiped some grass from my butt. "Nice to see you guys too!" I said politely. "Unfortunutly, I promised my mom I would be home by 1.." I trailed off, hoping it was close to 1.

"Actually, Mitchie, your mom-" I cut Caitlyn off by kicking her with my foot, hoping she got the hint. I gave the boys in front of me a good bye wave and left. I thought I heard one of them call my name, but I decided to ignore it. Hopefully, I would never have to explain myself because that was the last time I would see Connect 3. ..Right?
