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 3- Party Time
"All done!" Shane gently placed his flat iron on the far left corner of the countertop in his bathroom sink. His hair was now two things- completely clean and straightened to the last tip of hair. Hey, even guys care about their images. Since he was going to party for just a little bit, Shane only used a small amount of hairspray, just to keep things looking good.
Shane flipped off the light switch to his room and managed to drag himself down the stairs without the want of locking himself in his room. He made a promise to Jason and he knew Jason hated broken promises.
"Hey Mom. I'm going out to a tonight party okay?" He said as he entered the kitchen. Shane opened the refrigerator door and took out a pitcher of lemonade. He poured a glass full of the semi-sweet liquid and took a big drink out of it. Mrs. Grey didn't look up from her chocolate cake, but her grin was still visible.
"Did you finish your homework honey?" Shane was about to take a second drink when he paused. "…No." He finally answered.
His mother whipped around, her face plastered with a frown. She set down the piping bag the leaned on the counter. "I thought you said you were going to do your homework Shane." Her response was a sheepish grin from Shane.
"Did you even start sweetie?"
"Yup!"
She sighed and turned back to finish icing her cake. "Who's party is it this time?" Mrs. Grey finally asked. "It's not that Barron boy's is it?" Shane said a quick said a 'no' and his mother released a pleased sigh.
"Good. Remember the last time you went to one of his parties?"
Another sheepish grin came from Shane as he nodded. "Of course! Nate and I tried to do a front flip towards each other and then high-five each other…"
"And?"
Shane chuckled. "And I broke my arm since I fell off the trampoline." He finished, earning a satisfied laugh from his mother. She set down the piping bag once again and stared at her finished work. "Those kids laughed at you for a few days." She remembered.
"A few days? Mom, they joked about that for at least a month mom!" Shane exclaimed. Mrs. Grey waved her hand to shush him and the two both erupted in laughter. "I do recall that event gave you a nickname. Isn't that right Danger." She teased with an amused smirk.
Shane smirked. "And I stuck to it didn't I Mom?"
Mrs. Grey turned around to Shane and grinned. "As always. I'm surprised you haven't tripped down the stairs yet!"
"Whatever Mom!" He said jokingly. "I'm probably jinxed now!"
His mother took a seat across from him. Her hand sat as a leaning support for her head. "I'll make sure to notify the hospital and get you the best room." The two of them laughed at the joke. "Thanks mom."
They both sighed in unison and avoided each other's gaze. "So…" His mother started to say as she piped the leftover chocolate icing on the table. A smiley face was her creation and the two laughed. Mrs. Grey thought to herself for a brief moment before looking up at Shane. "You'd better leave now if you're going to get to…..who's party is it?"
"Tess Tyler."
His mother's smile scrunched up into a slight scowl. "Why would you want to go to her party?" She asked curiously. Even Mrs. Grey knew that Tess Tyler was a big and spoiled teenager. Shane shrugged.
"Jason said he and Nate were going, so I thought I'd tag along." He paused. "Is that alright with you?"
Mrs. Grey sighed. "Just stay safe and don't let her tempt you into doing anything…naughty." She grinned as Shane stood up from his seat and headed to the door. She stood up as well and followed him as he walked out the door and down to the bus stop. "Don't forget to call me when you get there!" She exclaimed.
"I won't! Bye Mom!"
Mrs. Grey chuckled as she walked back into the kitchen. She took a glance at the countertop and laughed. Resting by a bowl of bright red apples were Shane's keys and cell phone. She snatched the two items and waited for him by the entrance of the kitchen.
As if on cue, Shane rushed through the unlocked door and smiled weakly when he saw his mother standing there with his essential possessions. "I think I forgot some things." He said sheepishly. Mrs. Grey tossed the items to him and he smiled thankfully before heading out the door.
"Bye Mom! And thanks!"
By the time Shane finally arrived to the party, it was only 5:30 P.M., 30 minutes earlier then he had promised. He groaned. Why couldn't his mother be motherly and force him to finish his homework first? It wasn't that Shane didn't like parties; he just liked chatting with ThisIsMe123 10 times more. She wasn't as superficial as the partiers.
From the Tyler household, technicolor lights were flashing, which you could see though the opened door and windows. The party had already started and from a mile away, the song, Check Yes Juliet, was blaring from the household. Shane sighed. "I hate this song." He grumbled before walking towards the house. Outside the house, people were dancing (more like 'grinding' on each other) and dunking into the pool. It was another one of those house parties that would soon get out of hand. Tess Tyler wouldn't get in trouble for it though. Her daddy was the mayor of the town and he could bail her out, as usual.
"HOLA SEÑOR SHANE!" Shane jolted when he heard his named being called. He looked at the direction of the voice and chuckled. By a tree, he could make out Nate and Jason hanging around by an old swing tire. Jason was the one swinging and seemed to be having the time of his life. Nate, on the other hand, was pushing his older friend while masking a blank expression. He practically lit up like a light bulb when he saw Shane walking towards them.
"Finally!" Nate exclaimed as he went to greet Shane. Jason, who was disappointed at his lack of 'tire pusher', frowned. "Nate! Come back here! You promised!"
Nate, who ignored Jason, grinned sheepishly at Shane. "Thank you for saving me!" Shane cocked his eyebrow at his friend. "He threatened to toss me in the pool." The younger boy explained.
"Oh."
The two stood in an awkward silence, but was quickly ended when they were both tackled by Jason. The three of them landed on the grass with a low oof! "Payback!" He shouted cheerily as Nate and Shane tried to push him off.
"Get off or you're dead!" "I'm gonna kill you!" The two both exclaimed at the same time. Jason did as he was told by rolling off of his friends and was followed by a loud laugh. "You guys are awesome." He managed to say before laughing once again.
Nate rolled his eyes at his friend while mumbling along the lines of 'Immature moron.' Shane simple chuckled at his friends. They were both so different and yet they had a better understanding of each other then he did with either of them.
Jason finally stood up. "Hi Shane! Hi Nate!" He exclaimed merrily as he dusted dirt off of himself. The two both replied with a weak 'Hello'. Jason swung his arms over each of their shoulders and led his friends towards the entrance of the house. "So who do you think is gonna get hurt first?"
"Sander." Nate said.
"Barron." Shane answered at the same time. The two glanced at each other, while Jason just smiled bemused. Nate pushed Jason's arm off his shoulder and smirked playfully at Shane.
"Wanna bet on it Grey?"
Shane followed suit and returned the smirk. "It's on Parker." He held out his hand, which Nate slapped into a handshake and the bet was on. Jason laughed at his friends. "Well, I personally hope that you're both wrong and someone else is the first to get hurt." The both of them ignored Jason's comment.
"If you lose, which you will, you have to play and sing Hannah Montana songs in the school talent show." Nate cringed. He hated whenever Shane brought up Hannah Montana. It was just an innocent celebrity crush! Of course Nate was still ashamed of ever sharing his secrets with Shane, which was why he relied his venting on Jason. Jason would just space out and ignore Nate while the rant continued. Nonetheless, Nate agreed.
"Fine. But if you lose, you have to...date Tess Tyler!" He blurted out. It was Shane's turn to cringe. Tess was the clinging snobby girl that only the jocks, the 'preps', and the nerds adored. Pretty much of the rest of the student body despised her, inside and out, though they were fond of the parties she hosted. They were spectacular! She'd usually have something big going on. One party, she'd have a mechanical bull, while another party would have a chocolate fountain, not one of those that you'd see on the TVs- a real water fountain that somehow got altered to shoot out water. Another fun fact- Tess Tyler made a record for the biggest Chocolate Fountain.
"Deal." The two shook hands once again, both holding a smirk. Jason rolled his eyes. "And how am I the immature one?"
"You failed to climb up the evolutionary scale." Nate quickly answered. Jason pouted at his two laughing friends. "Not cool man, not cool."
"Whatever. Let's just go the party before I change my mind." Shane stomped off into the house, followed by Nate and Jason who rushed to catch up.
From inside the house, the music was only louder and anyone that entered would need a hearing aid afterwards. People were dancing on or with each other, while others were throwing blown up beach balls around. This time, the extravagant part of the part was a cleared out dining room that was turned into a half rollerblading rink and disco dance floor. The changes had to have cost over ten grand!
"Dude! Rollerblading!" Nate and Jason both exclaimed as they dashed get themselves a pair of skates. Shane chuckled at his friends before heading off to another room. He entered the kitchen and nearly jumped back at the site. Spread on the kitchen counter, sink counter, and table were a variety of desserts. Some teenage boys were stuffing themselves while their friends chanted for him.
'I wonder if Tess has a computer room…' Shane trailed off as he found himself walking elsewhere. He walked into another room, which was converted into an entertainment center. Two big screen TVs were being occupied. One was playing the movie 'Juno' while the other TV was being used as a Guitar Hero tournament. In the corners of the room, people were bunched together, their eyes glued on the computer screens. They had music blaring from the stereo, which made Shane quickly retreat from the room.
After searching the whole ground floor, there was no place for Shane to hang out. The living room was filled with dancers, the breakfast room, which was pretty much pointless since there was already a dining room, was filled with people trying to auction off the Tyler's possessions. The family room was filled with people who were just hanging out together and talking about nonsense while helping themselves with food and drinks as well as the company of another. That would've been the best place for Shane to hang out, but someone decided to bring the game of Twister in to 'spice' things up. As well as the bottom floor of the house, the pool was pretty much filled with perverts trying to rip off each other's clothes, or at least what was there to start with.
By 6:00, Shane was ready to leave and go home, but something inside made him want to stay. He decided to hang around the old tire swing, where Nate and Jason previously occupied, and just watch the sunset. He climbed onto the tire and used his feet to push the swing. Shane was calmly enjoying himself, even though That's What You Get was blaring in the air.
"So I guess your 'plans' failed huh?" A meek voice said as a body stepped in front of Shane. He diverted his attention from the sunset to the person in front of him. "Oh, hey...Mitchie."
