"Hi Caitlyn!," I said excitedly.
"Well you look happy," she said.
"Because I am," I said.
Caitlyn and I decided to do our homework together today. Shane was at a teacher workshop.
When he woke up in the morning next to me, he grumbled a lot because he didn't want to go.
After a couple of kisses, I finally managed to convince him to leave.
He had to go through my window, because my dad was downstairs.
"What do you wanna start with?" she asked.
"History," I said.
Bold Font: Two hours later.
"Are we done yet?" asked Caitlyn.
"Cat," I said, "I was done a long tome ago. You're the one who's still stuck on Math"
"If only Nate hadn't called me," she said.
"Well, it's not like you're way behind. You just have 5 problems left,"
"That's a lot,"
"Not to me. Let me help you,"
Bold Font: 10 minutes later.
"Finished!," yelled Caitlyn.
Bold Font: WAIT! We would like to give a shout out to two of our fellow reviewers.
EnchantixTracy: Three, actually.
Bold Font: readindtothemoon, you are absolutely the most dedicated reviewer we have ever had... Thank you SO much.
EnchantixTracy: xCaliforniaSunshineInMyEyes, We would love to mail Shane to you, but he is vital to the story at the moment, therefore we need to keep him...sorry...but we love you!
Bold Font: AND, we would like to welcome a new member to the readers family: CrazyKitCat!
EnchantixTracy: Welcome to our family! You and others complete my life by reading my story!
Bold Font: I already said welcome to her once. You didn't have to say it again.
EnchantixTracy: It's in my script...
Bold Font: Not anymore.
EnchantixTracy: Bold Font, stop telling backspace to erase my lines.
Backspace: Sorry. But Boldie blackmailed me. It was either that, or...
Bold Font: *Ahem* Let's get on with the story.
"Cat," I said, "you're seriously the most over dramatic person I have ever met. It's just math"
"It's not Math anymore," she said, "its war"
"Well, war is over. Wanna go to the mall?"
"Hell yeah,"
Bold Font: At the mall...
"What do you think of this top, Mitch?"
"It looks good on you," I said, "Has a little bit of an edge to it,"
"I like edge," she said, as she took it off and put her own shirt back on,"I think I'm gonna buy it"
"So," I said, "Homecoming's soon," I said.
"Yeah," she said, "I can't believe it's been three months since school started"
"I know," I said, "Are you gonna go there?"
"Of course," she said, "Not that I'm a brat like Tess who absolutely needs to have a date for every place she goes, but I'm kinda happy that I have Nate with me"
"Do you think," I said, "That students might be allowed to go with teachers?"
"Mitchie," she said, "I don't know. I mean, it would be illegal,"
"That sucks," I said.
As Caitlyn payed for her new shirt, I stood silently, thinking about homecoming. I had never been to a homecoming in my entire life. And I really wanted to.
Bold Font: Later at Night, when Caitlyn has gone home and Shane is with Mitchie in her room.
EnchantixTracy: WAIT! Let's have a showdown Boldie.
Bold Font: Showdown of what?
EnchantixTracy: One Liners.
Bold Font: Okay.
EnchantixTracy: You go first.
Bold Font: You're never too old to learn something stupid.
EnchantixTracy: My turn now... To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
Bold Font: Impressive. Here's my next one: Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were.
EnchantixTracy: Here's my *better* one: There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.
Bold Font: Here's my last one: Jesus loves you, but everyone else thinks you're an asshole.
EnchantixTracy: Here's my last one too: A little boy asked his father, "Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?" Father replied, "I don't know son, I'm still paying."
Bold Font: Okay fellies. It's your job to VOTE on our poll and help us decide who's the winner for this.
EnchantixTracy: The poll will be up by the time you finish reading this chapter, so yeah!
"Shane," I said, "How exactly do you explain a 40 year old female teacher cuddling up to you throughout the entire performance?"
"Exactly," he said, "how do I explain that?"
"I don't know," I said. I was sitting on my bed and Shane's hear was on my lap, "I just don't like the idea of another woman cuddling up to you"
"She was nothing compared to you," he said.
I smiled, and leaned down and kissed him.
"What's worrying you?" he said.
"What?"
"I can tell that some thing is wrong,"
"It's nothing. Really," I said.
"Tell me nothing then," he said.
I hate how he made so much sense out of such a stupid thing.
"Well," I said, "You see, Homecoming is in a month"
"And?" he said.
"And, I kind of really wanted to go,"
"You should go then,"
"I need a date,"
"You have me,"
"I don't think that teachers and students are allowed to go together,"
"Damn," he said, "Can't you miss it this year? I'll take you out on a wonderful date. You and me on a boat. How about that?"
"Shane, some teachers are required to go to dances and act as security. What if you're called?"
"What if I'm not? Babe, I don't think it's gonna make a difference if you're not there this time. I mean, I'm pretty sure you had a blast the past few times,"
I took a deep breath and said, "Shane, I've never been to homecoming before. Or to any other school dance. Because nobody asked me out. Because nobody cared about me"
"Mitchie," he said.
"Actually," I said, "I was gonna go to Winter Prom with Sam. But he asked me to ditch because he didn't want to go. And that very same night, he molested me"
And then tears escaped my eyes.
"Mitchie," he said and took my face in his hands, "I'm sorry. I had no idea that dances meant so much to you"
"They don't," I said, "It's just that for once in my life, I wanted to be like a typical girl. You know, like going to the mall and picking out my dress. And dressing up for that one person that night. And sharing that special slow dance with someone. I just, got too tempted to do it. I'm sorry Shane. I'm acting like Tess"
"No you're not," he said, "You're not like Tess because what you wish for is pretty much what most girls wish for Mitch. Babe, I love you. And I'm gonna ask the principal if I can take you to Homecoming, okay?"
"Okay," I said. And then I laughed.
"What?" he said.
"It's just that," I said, "I never thought that I'd be acting as girly as this. I always thought that I was way to smart to be like this"
"You're way to smart compared to most girls anyway,"
"I don't know," I said smiling, "I mean, I am going out with Shane Grey. I don't see what's so smart about that"
"Well," he said, "Why don't you tell me then"
And then he tickled me. I lay down on my bed, trying to wrestle him off. He, of course, won that match.
"Shane," I whined, "Let me go"
"Not until you admit that going out with me is the best thing you've ever done,"
"Okay. Shane, going out with you is the best thing I've ever done,"
"You're no fun," he said, "You're supposed to tease me"
"Oh please Shane," I said, "Every time I do that, you end up wanting to have sex, to which I have to say no to because I don't want to have sex here in this house"
"Well, what if I don't end up wanting sex?"
"Oh sure. when pigs fly,"
"That's true," he said, "Although, you did end up giving me a boner"
"Shane! You're so disgusting!,"
"Just kidding," he said, "I knew that would piss you off"
"Go away," I said.
"I love you," he said as he grabbed his jacket.
"Love you too babe," I said and blew him a kiss.
Bold Font: The next day at school...
"Hey Mitch," said Shane catching up to me.
"What?" I said. I was late for lunch, and super hungry.
"I've got good news and bad news,"
"Bad first,"
"I can't take a student to Homecoming,"
"Okay. And good?"
"I'm the security. And, because I begged, I'm promised one, and only one dance with you,"
"That sucks," I said, "Although, you will look sexy in your security outfit"
"Yeah," he said, "I mean, I don't care about that. But I'm really happy that at least I get one dance with you"
"Me too. it's better than nothing. But Shane, there's a catch,"
"What?"
"I need to have a date to the dance. Because all my friends have a date, so even if I go alone, I'm going to be super lonely,"
"Well," he said, "I can fix that for you. I'll find a guy, and tell him to ask you out. And of course, he and I will spend some time together discussing the consequences if I catch him harassing you"
"How about not?" I said, "Why don't I look or a harmless guy myself, and ask him out as friends?"
"I guess that works too,"
"It's way less scary than your plan,"
"Oh well. Listen babe. I need to go. Talk to you later?"
"Yeah," I said. Out of habit, we leaned in and pecked each other on the lips. We pulled away.
"Oops," I said.
He laughed and winked at me. And then he left.
I laughed to, and turned around and then crashed into someone. I looked up to see none other than Drew, the guy who I had been crushing on for a long time until Shane.
"Hey Drew," I said casually.
"Hey Mitchie," he said, "Hows it going?"
"Pretty good. You?"
"Good, yeah. So, I heard that you don't have a date to Homecoming,"
"Yeah," I said, "Shane and I want to go together but the stupid law won't allow us to"
"So, uh, do you want to go with me?"
I stood there, dumbfounded. Drew. THE Drew, the hottest guy in our school, the star of every sport he played, the captain of every club or team possible, was asking me out.
"Uh, there's a catch," I said, shocked at my casualness, "I have to save the last dance for Shane. And he's the security so he's going to have his eyes on us all the time"
"Haha," he said, "No worries. I'm going to make sure to take good care of you"
"Okay then," I said, "See you sometime in the evening sometime next month"
"You're really funny," he said, "And yes. See ya!"
And then he walked away.
Wow.
