Chapter 6: Fifteen Minutes

The weekend past, but it wasn't accompanied with an adrenaline rush like the last couple of days. It seemed like everyone was living at my house, my mom didn't mind because with the more people here the more guinea pigs she had to test her new recipes on. My dad on the other hand, pretended like he was fine with the guys being here, but we all knew he was always in earshot of where we were congregating at that moment. Whenever, Shane tried to put his arm around me, I could hear my dad clear his throat, and Shane would immediately drop his arm back to his side. So summing it up the rest of the weekend didn't finish as strong as it had started.

Monday morning, started like all mornings, I got ready for school, and went down to have some breakfast I could smell the scent of freshly baked blueberry muffins coming from the kitchen. I snatched one from its pan and stuffed it in my mouth.

I quickly spit it back out "Ah…Hot." I waved my hand over my mouth. I got a glass of water and switched the television to HotTunes. To my surprise the report was about Shane and the guys.

Connect 3 was spotted at a local amusement park, Six Flags this past weekend, but the huge story came from a fan sending in this photo.

My mouth dropped, that was a photo of Shane kissing me on the cheek before they had to run away from their screaming fans.

The question on everyone's mind is who is this girl, well who ever she is, she was captured the attention of Shane Grey.

I was speechless, my first T.V. appearance, I mean it was bound to happen, with dating a pop star but still I didn't think it would be coming so soon. I heard pounding on the door, and then footsteps racing into my kitchen.

"DID YOU SEE IT," Caitlin screamed "YOU'RE ON T.V. AND THERES ME RIGHT BEHIND YOU." She pointed to the screen, to where Nate and she were hugging in the background.

I tried to tune Caitlin out so I could catch the rest of what the reporter had to say, I heard her finish the report by trying to crack a joke.

I'm sure if you all listen closely you can hear some hearts breaking, after Connect 3 fans hear this report.

The reporter laughed at her joke. Great, now I'm the reason a ton of girls will be crying tonight, and to top that off it wasn't even that funny of a joke.



"Let's just go," I said as I switched the T.V. off and dragged Caitlin out of my house. All through the walk Caitlin talked about her T.V. appearance, she was slightly bummed that she wasn't mentioned as much as I had been in the report. My mind was pulled away from replaying the report in my mind when my phone buzzed from in my bag. I began to dig around for it and pulled it out and of course it was from Shane, I wondered if he had seen the report yet. I flipped my phone open to fine the same text he sent me on Thursday and Friday.

We got to school, and I waved goodbye to Caitlin and I rushed off to my locker. Because we were watching the whole HotTunes report, we were late leaving so now I had about 1 minute to run to my locker and run all the way to the other end of the building for Chemistry. I skidded to a halt outside the door and I walked casually into the room, I took my seat in the back and the bell rang. I noticed everyone stare at me when I entered, but they kept staring at me even after I sat down. As soon as the teacher started lecturing the eyes turned away from me and onto the teacher. I tried to take notes, but couldn't concentrate. I began doodling, which turned in me writing Shane's name about a million times. The bell rang and the chatter started again, the person who sat in front of me, Connor, I think his name is asked me if I really did know Shane Grey.

I figured everyone saw HotTunes this morning, and those of whom new me figured I was the girl in the photo. I turned away, and pretended like I didn't hear him, I walked away quickly. The rest of the morning went along as a blur to me, everyone starred and I hated it. All summer I craved the limelight and now that it was on my I just wanted it to pass on to someone else.

I found Caitlin at lunch saving a spot for me. We sat in silence for some brief minutes.

"Mitchie I don't know if you realized, but everyone is starring at you."

"Really Caitlin I hadn't noticed." I snapped back.

"Well have you noticed that your nerdy friend now eats lunch with those obnoxious Tess lookalikes?" She said pointing over to the other end of the lunch room.

I looked up from my sandwich, and my eyes scanned into the direction in which Caitlin had pointed. Caitlin was right. There Sierra was sitting there with them. I remembered how we used to talk, that we would never sink that low to sit with Rosalie and Charlotte. Well then again I sunk low enough to spend half my summer with Tess, and that was pretty much the same thing.

We got up and headed to my locker, maybe escaping the cafeteria for a little while will put me in a better mood. We were at my locker, talking quietly, when I saw Caitlin's eye narrow into a straight out glare. I leaned back to check who was coming down the hall in the reflection of the mirror hanging on my locker door.

"Oh." I whispered under my breath. I took in a deep breath. I turned my head and met their gaze, straight on.

I saw Caitlin roll her eyes. "Why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer." She snapped at them.

"How does someone like you meet Shane Grey?" Charlotte said, completely ignoring Caitlin's presence.



I snapped "Whatever's going one between Shane and I isn't any of you business, because if it was I would have told you about it." I slammed my locker shut and walked away with Caitlin trailing behind. I noticed Sierra avoiding my gaze during the entire confrontation.

As soon as they were out of earshot, Caitlin shouted "Way to go Mitchie." She held up her hand waiting for a high five. I smirked, it really did feel good to stand up to them, and almost as good as it did when I stood up to Tess. So I happily returned the high five.

The rest of the day was easier to bear with; sure I had Caitlin, with me for most of my classes in the afternoon. All the stares didn't faze me anymore, well actually there were far less people starring at me. 7th period rolled by quickly, I took some brief notes, and passed some more notes with Caitlin. Sierra still avoided me, she choose to sit in the seat farthest away from us as possible, and was out the door before, I had even gathered my books.

At the end of the day, I felt everything was normal again, and that my 15 minutes of fame had ended. Any extra steam I had left in me was burned off in Gym, we played soccer, and for once I didn't totally suck at sports. I actually almost scored, but I missed by about 5 feet. Well like I said I didn't suck, but I still wasn't the best player out there.

The second I got home, I ran up to my room and called Shane, we chatted mindlessly for a little while, but then we confronted the inevitable.

"You know we will have to do an interview sooner or later." Shane told me.

"I know" I replied. We just left it at that, neither one of us really wanted to discuss what had happened, we would talk about it more in depth when we needed to, but right now it wasn't important to us. After several hours, we said goodbye and I got to work on my homework.

By 10:30 I was exhausted and ready for a good night's sleep, I laid in bed thinking about all that had happened since I started dating Shane, I knew it wouldn't be as easy as it had been for the past couple of days, I just hoped it wouldn't become too difficult. At least my 15 minutes were up for now.

Author's Note: This chapter is slightly shorter than usual, I'm sorry if things were rushed but I really wanted to get this up before I leave, to go to New Jersey for a week. So if you feel this chapter was rushed I'm super sorry and I will make up for it when I get back, promise! When I come back I will have at least one chapter to post up right away maybe two depending on how much work I get done with. Auditions for Jason love interest will be coming up soon, just want to remind you all about that, I will give more info when the auditions are officially open. So if you like the story and want to become a part of it then keep the audition in mind. I'll leave you here to go review now, let's try to hit the 40 mark on the reviews!
