Chapter 5: Tami and Mitchie

I glanced at the clock. 11.40 AM. Mitchie would be here in another five minutes or so. I sighed and sat down on the carpeted floor of the bedroom and drummed my fingers impatiently on my knee. I dropped my head in my hands, wondering to myself what I should do while I waited.

Oh yes, the album! I leaned over and thrust my hand in between my bed mattress, finally found what I was looking for and yanked it out, a look of triumph on my face. I smiled at the familiar worn orange album that I had kept since I was twelve.

I fingered the edges, smiling to myself before turning the cover over. I could feel hot tears form as I looked at each picture. Most of them were my dad and I, standing in the rain, or running around a playground.

And some… would have my mom. She was so pretty, with sweeping brown hair that flowed in the wind, her deep hazel eyes searching and mysterious. I touched my face, wondering whether there was some of her there.

"Don't worry, Mary. You're just as pretty as her," A voice whispered in my ear. I jumped up and ran for the door, standing still for a moment before I realized it was Mitchie. "Mitchie," I breathed angrily over her restrained giggles. I hadn't even realized she came in.

I spun around to see Mitchie clad in what she called her 'spy outfit'. She wore a tight fitting black t-shirt and a dark pair of jeans complete with heavy mascara. Standing behind her was… Tami? I jumped up and down excitedly, biting my lip to keep from screaming.

Tami and Mitchie jumped with me in silence and after a while we all broke into a fit of giggles that we muffled by burying our faces in my bed. When I had finally calmed down, I sat up and enveloped Tami in a big hug, pulling away to examine her.

She had her hair straightened now, and it brushed her shoulders. She had gotten rid of her tacky glasses and wore contacts. She was also decked out in a spy outfit, just like Mitchie.

"Tami!" I squealed. Tami had actually gone to California with her dad, who was an agent. It was kind of like a 'bring your kid to work day' thing, except Tami had gone half the year. "Mary!" she squealed back and we hugged again.

"Aren't you supposed to be in California," I asked when we pulled apart.

"Ugh, I wish. My dad decided it was time for me to buckle down with the whole school thing and sent me back. He's here too. Guess who's trying to get him as their agent?" Tami asked, her perfectly shaped eyebrows rising.

"Domifreak!" Mitchie cut in, then shot an apologetic look at Tami when she glared at her. I gaped at both of them. "What?" So Dominique was still trying to make a comeback. Her albums pretty much never sold and now she was living off her money that she saved when she was slightly more popular.

Tami rolled her eyes as she munched on a chip, Mitchie had brought over tons of food. "I know! This is so whacked, my dad actually is going to meet up with her. He wants to be an agent of a comeback celeb or something—if that's remotely possible for domifreak anyway," She drawled.

I nodded. That was so Dominique, thinking she had a chance.

"Anyway… guess what?" Mitchie said, bouncing up and down on my bed. "Woah, there Sherlock!" Mitchie stopped bouncing and glared at me. I smiled. Tami and I had always called her Sherlock since the time she went snooping around Dominiques bedroom, convinced that Dominique was holding some evil party down there or something.

"Mary you did not just—"

"Quiet! Dominique's going to hear," I warned as I leaned over to my bedside lamp and turned the light lower. Mitchie groaned. "You are so paranoid, Mary. Besides, Tami is here and right now, to Dominique anyway, Tami is the daughter of a gold mine. We won't get in trouble."

Tami picked up a pillow and threw it at Mitchie playfully. "Ow! Ugh, Tami you need to grow up!" I cocked my head in Tami's direction and she was grinning. Tami was turning nineteen this year… she was Mitchie and my senior by four years. We only met because Tami lived next door.

I turned my attention back to Mitchie, who was holding a full-fledged pillow fight. "Woah woah woah!" I raised my hands in between them. "Domifreak has ears people," I reminded. "Anyway, what were you saying Mitchie?" Her eyes lit up.

"Shane's coming to town! As in town as in here! As in where we live!" She gushed. This time I was the one that threw a pillow at her. "Slow down!"

Mitchie ignored me. "Actually, not just Shane… but the whole of Connect Three is coming! Shane texted me yesterday to say he missed me and couldn't wait to visit," she boasted as she held out her cell phone for us to see.

"No duh, Sherlock. The whole town knows Connect Three is coming, some idiot fan leaked the news. But it's nice Shane texted you. Cause he misses you and stuff…" Tami said. I clasped hands with her and pretended to be Mitchie while Tami pretended to be Shane.

"I missed you so much, Mitchie," Tami giggled, trying to speak in a low voice.

"Oh Shane… you're the best person in the world," I squealed and Tami and I both fell on the pillows laughing.

"Haha." Mitchie frowned. "But hey, we could triple date."

We sat back up again. "Cool!" Tami exclaimed.

"Ugh no thanks, Sherlock. Remember Domifreak? No way will she let me go out with a Connect Three member, she'll force one of the evil twins on them first. And we couldn't even triple date with them, we haven't even met them yet," I said.

"Always the party pooper," Tami and Mitchie teased. "Shut up," I said and threw another pillow at the both of them.

"But I'm serious! Look, Nate could date you, you are definitely his type. He's sixteen by the way, one year older than you. And Jason could date Tami! He would love her," Mitchie concluded. Tami laughed and grabbed another chip. "Did you spent all the time at Camp Rock observing guys or playing music?" she joked.

They started a pillow fight next to me but I ignored them. I could feel my heart beating extremely fast and my cheeks flush. And that electric feeling I felt… it was back. I ran my fingers through my hair.

"Mitchie," I started as I turned to them. "Did you say Nate?"

Haha :3 anyway, review please! I LOVE them!

Did I mention I love reviews and ESPECIALLY the people who do?

Haha

Love
