Internet Girl
Summary- She was his best kept secret. He didn't plan on sharing her with the world. She was his Internet Girl. AU- Smitchie story.
Chapter 2- Good ol Jason
Shane happily sighed as he logged off the messenger. Another conversation with ThisIsMe123 had made him smile once more. There was so much that he would be willing to do to be able to meet the girl, but even Shane knew that it wasn't the safest or smartest thing to do. Nonetheless, he still felt hope and trust within the girl.
"Shane!" His mother shouted from downstairs. "We have guests! Come down here!"
The teenager sighed, but did so. He partially closed his laptop and rushed down. Standing at the front of the stairs, Shane saw his two best friends, Nate and Jason. "Oh...hey guys." He muttered.
Nate and Jason both took a glance at each other before speaking. "Hey Shane." They both said in unison. A heavy silence overcame the four as Shane's mother slowly slipped away into the kitchen without a word.
The three stared at each other before Jason finally broke the silence. "Why don't you want to hang out with us anymore?" He asked.
Shane bit his lip. 'Should I tell them? I mean they are my best friends...' He considered in his mind. He took a quick glance at his slightly smiling friends before returning to his own thoughts. 'Then again, they might laugh at me...'
Flashback:
A 13 year old Shane came bouncing into the living room of his friend, Nate Parker's, house. He, as well as their other friend Jason Henley, were chatting intimately, but greeted Shane when he came in site.
"Guess what guys!?" Shane asked energetically.
"I don't know Shane. Tell us." Nate said in a routinely monotonous tone.
Shane ignored Nate's attitude and proceeded to tell his two friends his news. "I sort of remixed 'Hello Good-bye'! Now it's a lot better than before!" His two friends stared at him before erupting in laughter.
"Dude, you don't remix classics. That's like the Golden Rule." Jason stated while wiping away a tear due to laughing. Shane frowned. "Come on guys! At least hear it out! Please!?" He was practically begging.
Nate paused and agreed before laughing once again. "Alright Shane, just don't expect us to love it." He said between laughs.
End of Flashback
Shane cringed at the thought of the flashback. He played the 'Shane remixed version of Hello Good-bye' once Jason and Nate stopped laughing, but it did take them a while to calm down. After laughing at him a few times, Shane managed to fully play the song and awed his two friends. After that, Jason played the remixed version on his guitar and Nate would sing it. That lasted a week before Shane began to regret ever changing the song.
"You alright man?" Jason's voice broke Shane out of his thoughts.
Shane nodded. "I've just been....busy." He finally answered uneasily.
Nate cocked his eyebrow. "With what?" He asked curiously. "Too busy to inform your friends about your whereabouts for the past weeks?"
"There's more to life then hanging out with your friends Nate." Shane retorted with a glare directed at Nate. Nate returned an equally dark glare and the two were staring at each other in the eyes. Jason had to break up the two's contest.
"Guys, you need to calm down." He said as he stepped between the two. Both Nate and Shane crossed their arms over their chest and looked away. Jason groaned. "Stop being babies you guys! This was just a simply visit."
Shane rolled his eyes at his 'speech.' "If you girls are done, I've got better things to do then to chat senselessly." He grumbled. Nate was about to retort when Jason interrupted him.
"We'd better go right Nate?"
Nate glared at Shane shortly before answering his older friend. "Right. Let's go." And with that, he turned around and exited the Grey household without another word.
Jason smiled half heartedly. "See you later Shane." He said before turning around and following Nate out the door. Once the two were out of sight, Shane let out an aggravated sigh and slammed shut the door. The loud 'BAM!' took Mrs. Grey by surprise.
"What's going on in there Shane!?" She asked loudly before coming out of the kitchen in a chocolate stained apron. Mrs. Grey stared worriedly at her son. "What happened to Nate and Jason sweetie?"
"They....they went to Nate's house to go clean his dog." Shane answered hesitantly. He hated lying to his mother, but one event led to another and she'd surely find out his secret! She cocked her eyebrow.
"You could have gone with them sweetie."
Shane cringed. "I know....I have a lot of homework I need to do though.." It wasn't a complete lie. He really did have a large of homework to do, but he didn't plan on doing it, not yet anyways.
His mother chuckled. "Shane Grey's not doing his homework 5 minutes before bedtime? Is there a girl or something?" She joked teasingly. Shane's eyes widened as he backed away to the stair case.
"N-no!!" He chuckled weakly. "I would've told you if there was. Really."
Mrs. Grey rolled her eyes playfully. "If you say so Shane." She said teasingly. She turned around and headed back into the kitchen. "Now go upstairs and do your homework!"
Shane rushed back up the stairs and closed his door behind him. He opened his laptop and nearly passed out when he heard a little chime from it. "You have mail!" it said. Shane clicked on a link that led him to his inbox and as expected, the E-mail was from ThisIsMe123. He clicked the link and opened the message.
Hey Popstar. I'm bored. Save me from my homework please! -pokes messenger-
-Signed your 'Internet Girl' :P
Without any hesitation, Shane quickly rejoined the messenger and typed in his log in information. ThisIsMe123 was the first to type a message.
ThisIsMe123- Hey :) Whatcha up to?
ElRockstar15- Nothing much. Still avoiding homework. Just like you ha! What about you?
ThisIsMe123- Oh shut up! You're probably worse than I am.
ElRockstar15- Am not!
ThisIsMe123- Whatever! I was just finishing up a second verse of 'This Is Me.'
Shane smiled. She sent him the lyrics of the chorus and he loved it. It was a real song about real people, not some cheesy pop star junk that drew everyone in with its addicting upbeat music. He had to admit though; ThisIsMe123 was a wonderful songwriter, even if it was just a chorus. Maybe she'd even have a small recording of her facial features...
ElRockstar15- Really? can I see the lyrics? :D
ThisIsMe123- No! :) I have a better idea...
ElRockstar15- Which would be?
ThisIsMe123- Well...my parents just bought me a camera so I thinking of singing it for you...? If you want to of course...
ElRockstar15- :O That would be AWESOME! Do it! Please?
Shane could help but smile. This could be his chance to hear her voice. It was just like Carpe Diem- to seize the day. Except Shane wanted to seize this once in a lifetime opportunity.
ThisIsMe123- Okay then! Wait about one minute. I'm gonna play part of it on piano in the living room. I'm not done though :( Song writers block stinks!
ElRockstar15- Fine :( Don't hold back okay?
ThisIsMe123- Kay. Do your homework while you wait :P
ElRockstar15- Fine! :(
After typing that final message, Shane pulled out his Geometry homework and began to work on it. Why was it that he would listen to a stranger on the Internet and not his own mother? That was one confusing thing about teenagers. Maybe it was just a bit of teen angst, or that's what adults thought. He did 2 problems out of his 30 math questions when a beep indicated he had a reply.
ThisIsMe123- All done! :) I emailed it to you!
ElRockstar15- Let me go check it! I can't wait. It'll probably be fantastic :D
Shane tossed his homework to the side and immediately went to his E-mail account. "One New Message!" it read and Shane's smile grew even wider. He immediately clicked on it and on the video. It took a few seconds to load and to Shane's disappointment, it was just a blank black screen. He was about to close out of it when a voice stopped him.
"Do you know what it's like?
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life,
Where you're the shining star
Even though it seems,
Like it's too far away
I have to believe,
in myself-
It's the only way...
This is Real,
This Is Me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light,
Shine on Me
Now I've found
Who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be,
This is Me."
"Wow..." Shane was in awe. She had one of the most amazing voices he had ever heard and that only made him want to hear more.
ElRockstar15- THAT WAS AMAZING! I demand more please!
ThisIsMe123- You have no idea how much I'm blushing right now. Thanks for the compliment.
ElRockstar15- You don't need to thank me! But I really do want to hear more.
ThisIsMe123- I feel like a rockstar! :P You're so needy!
Shane laughed aloud. He was about to type his reply when a startling knocking stopped him. "Hey Shane!" Upon hearing his name being called, Shane looked at the window and his eyes widened. Balancing on a tree branch right outside of his window was Shane's friend Jason. He knocked on the window again. "Can I come in?" The elder boy exclaimed.
Shane closed his laptop and jumped off his bed and to his window. He unhooked the hatch and lifted open the glass part of the window. Jason leaped into Shane's bedroom, but unfortunately landed with a loud Crash! to the ground. He sat up while rubbing his forehead.
"Owww." Jason complained. He looked up at Shane's confused expression and grinned sheepishly. "Hi Shane! Guess who?" He asked excitedly.
Shane cocked his eyebrow. "Dude...I can see you..." He said, choosing his words carefully. Jason jumped up in place and put his hands on his hips. "I can see you too!" He exclaimed cheerfully. He looked around for any sight of Nate, but frowned. "Aww no group hug..."
Once again, Shane cocked his eyebrow. "Jase....why were you in a tree.....outside my window...?" He finally asked.
Jason contemplated to himself for a moment before the light bulb went off in his head. "Oh I forgot to tell you earlier! Tess Tyler is having a party tonight and the whole school is invited! Are you gonna come? Are ya? Are ya? Are ya?" He asked. Every time he asked 'are ya' he only bounced closer to an uncomfortable Shane, who in return back up.
He raised his hands to defend himself. "I don't know Jase..." He started to say but a beep interrupted him from finishing him. 'Oh no! I forgot about her!' Shane thought. Jason tilted his head in confusion.
"Hey Shane your computer just beeped." He said as he approached the laptop. "Maybe we should check..."
"I need to get ready for the party Jason!" Shane exclaimed loudly. Jason turned around to face Shane and nodded.
"Oh okay." He said as his direction changed to the window. "Me and Nate are gonna go a 6, so maybe we'll come by?"
"I'll just meet you guys there okay?"
Jason nodded as he climbed out the window. Luckily, he landed safely on his feet and made his way down the street. Shane let out a relieved sigh before heading back to his laptop.
ThisIsMe123- Um are you still there?
ElRockstar15- Sorry about that. A friend decided to climb into my bedroom through my window :P Moron.
ThisIsMe123- Lol!
ElRockstar15- Well, he made me promise him that I'd go to a party, so I guess I'd better get ready.
ThisIsMe123- Aww okay :( Talk to you tomorrow? We've never had so much time to chat until today! :D
ElRockstar15- Lol true! Talk to you then! Bye :)
Shane logged off the messenger and let out an irritated groan. "Thanks a lot Jase." He grumbled as he headed towards his bathroom with a new change of clothes.
