Caitlyn got up in the morning deliriously happy, her head filled with thoughts of Nate, strawberries and chocolate. She felt she could break into song just like they seemed to do in all those musicals. And then everyone magically would jump out of bed and join her too, singing and dancing all in perfect sync. She jumped out of bed and ran to Mitchie's bed.
"Come on Mitchie…it's time to get up…it's such a beautiful day outside" she said in a sing song voice. She heard a muffled groan of protest come from somewhere under all the sheets, but nothing could deter Caitlyn when she was in a perky mood. She was relentless and she finally was able to get Mitchie to wake up.
"What have you done to the real Caitlyn?" Mitchie demanded as she sat up her hair sticking up at odd angles.
"I am the real Caitlyn. And good morning to you too sunshine..." Caitlyn said with a huge smile on her face as she jumped on to Mitchie's bed.
"I think the universe had turned on it's head. You see I know the real Caitlyn Gellar and she has never been perky especially in the morning…" Mitchie said rubbing her bleary eyes.
"You can blame it all on chocolate boy" Caitlyn said with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"I know I just got up and all but chocolate boy... who or what is it?" Mitchie asked with a confused look on her face.
"He is the cutest person in the whole wide world..." Caitlyn said with a sigh.
"I am worried about you Caitlyn, you are perky in the morning and now you are talking about some chocolate boy, are you sure something is not wrong with you?" Mitchie asked now wide awake and a little worried.
"Nothing's wrong with me…I am just so happy..." Caitlyn said as she jumped off Mitchie's bed to head to the bathrooms.
"By the way, who is this chocolate boy?" Mitchie asked curious about this mysterious person who had brought about such a change in Caitlyn.
"That's for me to know…and for you to guess…" Caitlyn said turning around and winking at Mitchie.
"But…I want to know…" Mitchie whined her curiosity well and truly piqued now. It was almost like she was kissing and not telling. Wait was she kissing someone? If she was then she wasn't telling. And wasn't she supposed to tell her of all people her best friend... Isn't that what girls were supposed to do when they kissed someone?
Caitlyn made her way to the bathrooms when she saw someone violently gesturing to her from behind a bush. She saw a curly head bob up and down and she smiled, it was her chocolate boy. She went behind the bush and knelt down meeting him face to face.
"I am beginning to think that all our meetings are for some strange reason going to behind a bush." She said smiling at him.
'Sorry …I have just gotten very used to hiding in them. Must be all the practice I have had over the past few days. Nate said grinning.
"Ha-ha. Very funny. So why did you call me?" Caitlyn said furtively looking around to see if anyone was watching.
"Well…we got so caught up with things yesterday that I forgot to ask you something... Will you be my girlfriend? I know we skipped over many parts and went straight to kissing but I'd like us to you know... Kiss as a couple..." Nate said shyly, looking at Caitlyn.
Caitlyn stared at him and a big smile broke out on her face. "Of course. I accept" she said grabbing his face and kissing him. Suddenly they heard some footsteps and Caitlyn immediately pulled away.
"Okay...gotta go…see you later boyfriend..." she said smiling at him before running away from the bush. Nate stared after her, she had just become his girlfriend and she had kissed him…mmm…strawberries, he would never be able to get enough of that taste.
"Nate…what are you doing behind the bush?" a very confused voice said. Nate immediately got up to see that it was Jason who had asked him the question.
"Nothing…I had accidentally dropped some money there…so I was just searching for it…" he said hoping to goodness that Jason would buy his excuse.
"But I saw someone else too there…" Jason said still confused.
"Nope…there was no one else there. Only me…searching for my money…under the bush" Nate said turning red. They needed to find a new bush, a much bigger one.
"It's okay Nate…tell me whenever you feel comfortable about it" Jason said smiling at him. Nate smiled at him gratefully, thankful that he dropped the issue. Jason was never pushy about anything except maybe about making birdhouses. But on the whole he was an extremely amiable person, who knew more about what was happening than he let on.
"Come on lets go for breakfast…by the way where is Shane?" Nate asked dusting himself. Maybe they needed to stop meeting behind bushes, it was proving to be messy and dangerous, messy because of all the dirt that got attached to them and dangerous because anyone could find out about them at any given time. But that was so exciting about it, the fact that everything was so rushed and secretive, it gave you some sort of a strange thrill to cheat fate.
"He was having a fit because he couldn't find his special hair gel, I offered him mine but he said something about looking good for Mitchie and started throwing a hissy fit so I just left without him..." Jason said simply. Nate nodded his agreement, Shane could be quite annoying and drama queen like when he wanted, especially where his hair was concerned.
They walked in companionable silence to the dining hall. There they collected their breakfast and sat down at their table. Sometime later Caitlyn walked and Nate felt a thrill run up his spine and noticing him Caitlyn winked at him and at once Nate smiled goofily.
She sat with her friend, who happened to be Shane's girlfriend at a table some distance away from theirs. Maybe they would be able to sit together for breakfast if Nate told Shane he wanted to get to know his best friend girlfriend better. That way he could spend more time Caitlyn. That was the roundabout way or he could do the simpler thing by just going and sitting down next to Caitlyn after all it was a free world and he could sit anywhere he wanted.
"Hey look they got strawberries" Jason said smiling happily, strawberries were his favorite too. Over at Caitlyn's table, Mitchie said the same thing and both Nate and Caitlyn smiled a little smile.
Shane finally walked in looking grumpy as cat and sat down at a table with a huff. Nate and Jason prudently kept quiet.
"Why is that you can never find stuff when you need it the most" he said sullenly, taking an apple and savagely biting into it. Nate wanted to tell him that was the universal law of things, when you needed them the most you couldn't find them and when you did not need them would keep appearing in place to place and mock you. Jason also wanted to add that if he kept his stuff together instead of leaving it all over the place then he would find things easily. Instead both of them just shared a grin.
Just sometime later Tess walked in followed by Saunder. Nate noted that Caitlyn immediately stiffened. Both of them sat down at the same table. He did not whether he was imagining it but he could have sworn he saw both them exchange a secretive smile, kind of like the one he and Caitlyn would have exchanged if they had been sitting together.
Caitlyn noticed Saunder and Tess sitting together and she could see by the smile that they shared that maybe did genuinely like each other. Besides they must have had their reasons for keeping their relationship a secret like she and Nate were doing now. She decided that as long as Tess Tyler wasn't going to hurt Saunder in anyway she was going to let them be... as much as the thought of them made her want to gag.
Mitchie meanwhile was confused. Caitlyn had been perky all morning and then after coming to the dining hall she had become quiet all of a sudden. Something was happening and she did not like being out of the loop. She was determined to solve the mystery of chocolate boy and Caitlyn's suspicious perkiness.
Shane looked around his table, the next table and Mitchie's table. At his table Nate was constantly glancing at Mitchie table and the table next to them. Jason was glancing at Nate and looking elsewhere. At the next table this boy and girl were looking at each other and it was as if there was something more there that was hinted at and couldn't be shown. Then at Mitchie's table her friend was glancing at Nate and the boy and girl. And Mitchie was glancing at her friend. Wow… that was a complicated thought, which he had just thought of.
Something was definitely up and Shane Grey wanted to know. Did he want to know because he had some personal interests? Or did he want to know because he felt out of the loop? It was both those reasons and one more, Shane just wanted to know because he was plain curious and the idea of doing an investigation suddenly seemed very appealing. Somehow or the other he was going to get to the bottom of this mystery. Now that he was done planning his course of action and sulking, he needed to eat breakfast. Food always came first; it was the most important thing after all. Besides they had blueberry pancakes today and sure as hell wasn't going to miss eating them. Sometimes you needed to get your priorities straight.
A/N: And how did you like it? Read and review and let me know because it inspires me to write more. :)
P.S: I probably won't update until next due to the fact that I have a festival coming up along with exams and my mother has decided that this is the perfect time for me to learn to act like a ladylike hostess!! (Sorry for the rant but I just had to) hopefully this chapter will tide you through till next week. Feel free to suggest plot twists and turns because I really don't have an outline. And one last thing, do I introduce a girlfriend for Jason or just leave him alone? Let me know. See you next week. :)
