Thank you SO much for all the reviews – reading them all makes me so happy! Of course, you guys deserve an update, so here we go. And by the way, I do like Katy Perry's new song, but everything else makes my ear hurt. No offence to Katy or her fans! (:
Chapter Three:
The Raising of Eyebrows
"'Cause you're hot then you're cold, you're yes then you're no…"
"Mitchie, can you stop listening to that song? It's driving me insane."
I covered my ears with a nearby pillow, hoping to drown out the wailings of Katy Perry. First she sung about kissing girls and now she's singing about being hot and cold. Can't someone just shut her up?
"I think you passed insane a long time ago, Caity." Mitchie replied, though her voice was muffled from where I was clutching the pillow to my head.
I was about to reply that I wasn't insane (just slightly crazy) when I heard Mitchie switch the song over. I threw the pillow across the room, sitting up. I knew she was about to ask me about all I had learnt from my questioning with Nate.
"So what happened at the lake?"
Maybe I am telepathic… or I just know Mitchie well.
"Not much. He said he liked Peggy and that she wasn't as insane as me." I explained, standing up and grinning. "So operation Neggy is a go."
Mitchie raised her eyebrows at me (she looks very strange when she does that – someone should tell her). "Operation … what?"
"Neggy. It's a combination of Nate and Peggy, see?"
"That's it; I'm hiding your coffee." Mitchie said, rolling her eyes.
Why do people always roll their eyes at me? It's like I have a sign saying 'roll your eyes at me, quick!' on my forehead.
"You're just jealous I can name things better then you." I retorted.
"I sure am."
I think Mitchie's lying again.
"So is Nate going to ask Peggy out?"
Wow, she's impatient. Maybe she should go and sit by the lake with Nate and question him about a girl he hardly talks to.
"My telepathic powers aren't currently working, sorry." I replied sarcastically. Mitchie sighed. She seems to do that a lot to.
Mitchie's Daily Routine in the eyes of Caitlyn Geller:
1). Roll eyes at Caitlyn
2). Sigh at Caitlyn.
3). Raise eyebrows at Caitlyn.
4). Make out with Shane.
5). Frown at Caitlyn
That's basically all she does, seriously.
Mitchie just threw a pillow at my head and told me I wasn't concentrating. I should add that to the list – she insults me a lot too.
6). Insult Caitlyn.
7). Throw pillow at Caitlyn.
8). Make goo-goo eyes at Shane.
There. Now it's a full list, so Mitchie knows what to do every day. I'll give it to her for Christmas.
"So how about we plan some more of our Eggy plan." Mitchie said, trying to hold back laughter as she sat beside me.
"Neggy." I corrected her, offended that she would change the word of my genius plan. Nobody likes eggs anyway.
"Well I was thinking that we all meet up – Shane, Jason, Nate and me you and Peggy – and then we can all go and leave them alone together!"
"Yeah 'cause that'll work. What are we all going to do? Say we all have homework to do or something? They aren't that dumb."
I thought Mitchie was meant to be the smart one? How is this going to work?
Mitchie: I have to go make out with Shane in a cupboard!
Shane: Yeah … me too. (Because he's dumb like that).
Jason: I have to go run my bird helpline for distressed birds!
Caitlyn: … I have to go now because Mitchie wants to set you two up. Bye.
That would never work. Unless…
"I've got it."
Mitchie looked very startled for a second, almost like she couldn't believe that I'd come up with a plan. How offensive.
"How about I ask Nate, as friends of course, to come to the cinema with me, 'cause we normally go on a Friday anyway? So then you can ask Peggy to go with you to see some chick flick and we could 'conveniently' notice each other and come and say hello?"
"That's … actually a good idea." Mitchie looked even more shocked now, and I decided that from that moment on I'd make better plans, just to prove myself worthy of – oh, what am I talking about? I'd much rather eat a live penguin then come up with good plans on a daily basis.
Oh great, now I sound like a crazy penguin eating maniac. This really isn't my day.
"But Friday is tomorrow." Mitchie pointed out, frowning. There she goes again – frowning at me.
"So? I'll text Nate and you can go and find Peggy. Though she may be a little disturbed by you asking to go to the cinema with her to see a chick flick when you could just go with me…" I trailed off thoughtfully (I don't normally do that).
"Last time you went to see a chick flick with me you walked out shouting 'Here Come The Girls' at the top of your lungs."
"True…"
"Well, I'll go and find Peggy and hope for the best. Text Nate while I'm gone, okay?"
I agreed and watched her leave. I waited for a few seconds before sneaking over to her CD player, snatching the Katy Perry disc from it and hiding it in my backpack.
Muhuh, she'll never know.
Evil Caitlyn xD. Sorry this chapter is so short, I'm trying to make the next chapter longer! So yeah, please review and tell me what you think (:
