It Starts With Goodbye

Mitchie hung up the phone, and stared at it for a few minutes. That had been an interesting conversation. It occurred to Mitchie, just then, that it had probably been Tess who made Ella call her.

She was obviously trying to find out if anything was going on between Mitchie and Shane.

Mitchie really wished she could've said yes. She wished she could've told Ella all about Shane's plans to come and visit her. But she couldn't. Because Shane hadn't even bothered to call her.

She didn't want to admit it, not even to herself, but she missed him.

She missed seeing him, listening to him play guitar, hearing him sing to her, teasing him about being an "ego-maniac rockstar"...Everything. She missed everything about him.

But he obviously didn't miss her.

As she was staring at the phone she still held in her hands, it began belting out Connect 3's "Play My Music," for the second time.

As much as she wanted to let it play, so she could listen to Shane, and imagine him singing to her again, she picked up.

'Hello?' She asked curiously - the number was on private.

Mitchie! Hey!' Caitlin's cheerful voice rang in her ear.

First Ella, now Caitlin. Mitchie felt like she was back in Camp Rock!

If only the one person she actually wanted to hear from would call...

But Mitchie pushed all thoughts of Shane from her head, and focused on the present. Focused on Caitlin.

'Oh my god! Hi! How are you?' Mitchie was excited to hear from her newest friend. But she was also disappointed. She had really thought, deep, deep down, that it would be Shane.

No, Mitchie thought to herself. No. You are not gonna think about Shane. No matter how cute he is, or how sweet he is, or how funny he is...Just no!

'Oh I'm good,' Caitlin replied. 'The usual, you know. School, homework...But ohmigod, did you see us on TV?!'

Wow, Mitchie thought, I must be the only person in the world who didn't see it.

Even her mom and dad had seen it! They just hadn't bothered telling her until after school.

'No,' Mitchie told her friend, 'I didn't. And I think I'm about the only one who hasn't!'

'Yeah.' Caitlin sounded surprised. 'I mean, even Shane and the guys saw it. He said that-'

'You were talking to him?' Mitchie cut over her. 'When?'

'Um, yeah, yesterday, why? Haven't you been talking to him?'

'No,.' Mitchie was crushed. 'No, he, eh, hasn't called.'

'Oh.' For the first time ever, Caitlin was lost for words. 'Well, maybe he lost your number or something. You should call him.'

'Yeah,' Mitchie sighed. 'Maybe.' But she didn't sound convinced. 'listen, Caitlin, I've got a load of algebra homework, so I better go. But I'll talk to you again soon, yeah?'

'Yeah, ok, bye Mitchie.'

Caitlin hung up the phone, but didn't put it down. She knew what she had to do.
