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 8- The Super Sneaks
The bus ride to Jason's house was absolutely gruesome. Not only did it reek of old people, there was also a smell of the stinky sweaty elementary kids. Along with that, no matter what the driver said, the younger people on the bus screamed to no end, even when their parents constantly threatened them. Unfortunately for Shane and Jason, they were forced to sit apart from one another. Shane was stuck sitting next to a young girl, who looked to be around the age of 12 years old. She would repeatedly bug Shane, begging him to allow her to dig through his book bag. Jason, on the other hand, was stuck sitting next to a dazed elderly woman, who thought Jason was her nephew. She clutched onto his arm, telling him 'how much he had grown since the last time she saw him.'
On the bright side, the ride only took 10 minutes. Once the bus came to a complete stop, Shane and Jason, who both managed to escape unharmed, hopped off the bus and walked a block and a half to Jason's house. The two entered into the house, greeted by the sweet empty silence of the room.
"I never really appreciated the silence…." Shane muttered to himself as he entered into Jason's bedroom. On one of the plain light blue walls, there hung a few posters of his favorite bands. On another one, the wall was covered with what seemed like hundreds of pictures of Jason, Shane, and Nate. After all, they were the best of friends. Not even his parents had as much wall space as the three boys.
"Ditto dude." Jason said, tossing his school supplies in a corner of his room, next to his guitars. He placed his Gibson Acoustic back onto its stand, next to another one of his guitars- a sleek and shiny black electric guitar. "Be right back."
The moment Jason left the room, Shane leaped over to his friend's desktop computer. It took only a few seconds for the computer to turn on, but that wasn't quick enough. He quickly clicked open the internet and logged onto his email address. Shane was expecting another email from ThisIsMe123, but surprisingly, there was absolutely nothing there.
'Well…this sucks.' His mind complained. Now he had nothing else to do, but to hang out with Jason or do homework. Then again, there always was that stupid option. To go along with Operation Super Sneaks, also known as spying on Nate and Mitchie's 'not' date. There was one problem though- whether to take Jason with him or not. Jason could expose their presence, whether it was an accident or not. On the other hand, he could probably help Shane sneak off if they made a mistake.
"Whatcha thinking about Shane?" Jason's sing song voice broke through the younger boys thought. Shane looked up at his older friend, seeing his usual goofy grin plastered on his face. He thought for a short moment before finally answering.
"We're gonna go find Nate." And with that, Shane stood up, heading for the door. When he realized Jason wasn't trailing behind, he looked back into the bedroom, seeing his friend standing next to the desktop computer with a puzzled expression.
"Shane…Nate's at the coffee shop with Mitchie. Remember?"
There always was the option of just leaving right there and without a word. Then again, Jason would probably call Nate and ask him about Shane and the plan would be ruined. The raven haired boy sighed and reentered the room. "Jase, can you keep a secret?" He asked hesitantly. The older boy nodded enthusiastically, excited to hear the 'secret.' "We are going to spy on Nate and Mitchie."
Jason blankly stared at Shane. He contemplated to himself for a moment before answering, still holding his bright grin. "Sweet. I have some walkie-talkies." Jason finally answered his smile widening.
Shane rolled his eyes at his friend before dragging him out of the room by the sleeve of Jason's shirt. "This is why we have cell phones Jason." The older boy nodded knowingly as Shane released. The two exited the house and began heading down the street. "So any idea where they are?" Jason asked curiously.
"At the coffee shop. You were there remember?"
"Which one?"
Shane immediately paused. "Good question." He said, mostly to himself. 'If I were those two, where would I be?' he thought. The first choice was at a bookstore to get coffee since they were both smart people. "Maybe they went to the Starbucks that's like a block from the school?" Jason suggested.
"Might as well start from there." And once again, the two started heading for the public bus stop.
A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the desired Starbucks. They'd usually get many customers after school thanks to the students. Just like Shane had expected, the shop was crammed with many of the high school students. A line was even starting to form outside of the store! Shane and Jason both hid behind the bushes, which were directly in front of a window, one that you could see the whole shop through.
They both scanned the shop- Shane was looking for Nate and Mitchie while Jason was looking for Nate and Mitchie, with an occasional glance at the menu. As Shane looked around, there was a quick flash of brown on the opposite side of the window. Cocking his eyebrow, he slowly tried to look past all the people to see who it was. At the same time, Nate and Mitchie were occupying a table right beside that window, both in an intense conversation that included laughter.
Shane continued to stare at the window, but the brown flicker never returned. Just as he turned to ask Jason, someone else was there- an annoyed looking Caitlyn Gellar. "What are you doing here Shane?" She whispered angrily.
"I could ask you the same thing Gellar."
The two both had a short glaring contest as Jason tugged on both of their sleeves. "Guys!" Neither turned to listen as they were both too absorbed with beating each other. "People are starting to stare!" Surely enough, students who had exited with their coffee in hand stopped to watch the 'show.'
"What are you doing Caitlyn?"
Upon hearing her name, Caitlyn slowly tore her stare away and looked up. Towering about her head stood Barron James, Sander Loya, and Lola Scott, all wearing equally bemused expression. The curly haired brunette sheepishly grinned. "We were coming to get coffee…" She trailed off.
Shane bit his lip as his mind tried to think up of a story to go along with Caitlyn's. "But I dropped my phone…"
"Cause Shane tripped…on a rock." Caitlyn muttered, still carrying her weak smile.
"So we ended up on the ground to look for it!" Jason finished with a bright grin. The three dancers stared at the trio on the ground as if they were insane. After a short silence, Lola finally took charge and spoke up. "We'll see you guys tomorrow." Was all she said before turning away with Barron and Sander following behind, after they each gave the three one more puzzled glance.
"I think that went quite well." Jason admitted after a short silence. He turned his attention back on Mitchie and Nate as Caitlyn and Shane began their quite argument.
"Just admit you're jealous Shane."
'No way! Not until you do!"
Caitlyn let out a low chuckle. "You just implied that you are jealous." She said; playfully stick out her tongue at the raven haired boy. Shane rolled his eyes. "Did not!" He exclaimed, angrily crossing his arms over his chest.
"Yeah you did. You said that you wouldn't admit it unless I did so you're just waiting for me to go first so then you won't feel stupid!" She smiled proudly. "But too bad for you, you're already stupid."
Shane snorted. "Well if you wanna play like that, you just admitted that you're jealous too cause you said that you wouldn't admit it unless you did, meaning that you are jealous and you don't want to be the first to take the punch! So hah!" He exclaimed. Caitlyn narrowed her eyes at him, muttering the word idiot repeatedly.
Jason looked back at the two. "Just admit that you're both jealous okay!?" He whispered angrily. "I could've been at home playing Guitar Hero instead of spying on the love bugs." He said to himself.
Both Shane and Caitlyn ignored Jason's command and looked back into the coffee shop. It had cleared away, leaving only a few people remaining. Some were off playing on the internet, while others kicked back and enjoyed their drinks. Nonetheless, Mitchie and Nate were still in the same spot, only this time, their hands were intertwined underneath the table. It was the perfect view from the window.
"I'm going to kill her." Caitlyn muttered angrily, her hands slowly tightening into an intimidating fist. From her side, Shane's laughter was barely audible. "Someone's getting a little jealous." He said in a sing-song voice. The girl glared at her. "You better appreciate your vocal cords now because they'll be gone faster then you can say 'Mitchie." Caitlyn threatened.
The raven haired boy immediately shut his mouth as Jason silently laughed. "Can we go yet?" Jason asked impatiently. The two glared at him before answering in unison. "No!" The older boy pouted. "But I want a Mocha Frappe."
Nonetheless, Caitlyn and Shane continued to spy on Mitchie and Nate. The same routine went for half an hour, but nothing happened. The two engaged in a conversation and their hands were still entwined with one another. Outside, the other two would glare into the window without saying anything. Both Shane and Caitlyn had their eyes mainly focused on their hands, both thinking when the hands would be free. Jason had given up his spying career and was leaning on the side of the building, playing with every available application on his phone. Shane and Caitlyn were both on the edge of giving up when out of the corner of Shane's eye; he saw the two stand up from their seats.
"Caitlyn!" He whispered excitedly. "They got up!"
The curly haired brunette rolled her eyes, turning her attention back to the wide window. "Way to state the obvious moron." She mumbled, earning a quick glare from Shane.
Nate and Mitchie both headed towards the double doors of the shop. To Shane and Caitlyn's joy, their hands were no longer entwined. They snuck off to the corner of the shop and took a peek, with Caitlyn on the bottom.
"This was fun." Mitchie said with a small smile. Nate happily nodded. "We should do this again Mitch."
Shane nervously bit the bottom of his lip. 'Don't kiss, don't kiss!' His mind cried. Thankfully, the two just shared a 'friendly' hug, which lasted way too long in Shane's mind, before heading off in separate directions. Just as the raven haired boy was starting to feel relieved, the next thing that came out of Nate's both brought back all the jealously.
"I'll call you later!" The curly haired boy exclaimed before walking off to the other side of the street.
Once the both of them were out of view, Caitlyn fell to the ground and spread out her arms and legs. She let out an annoyed groan. "Its days like these where I wish I was an alcoholic." Shane settled himself beside her on the soft green grass. "I'm with ya sister."
The two stayed like this for a short moment, both staring blankly into the bright blue sky. There was a heavy silence that is until Jason finally spoke up once again. "Can we leave now?"
Caitlyn slowly lifted herself off the ground, keeping her attention at the fluffy cloudy filled blue sky. "Yes." She said with a bored tone. "I am going home to take a nice long bubble bath to relax myself and wash away my problems of life."
Both boys gave her a blank look. Jealousy could make a person stuck on the train to crazy town. Shane stood up, stretching his arms and legs at the process before turning to Caitlyn. "I guess we'd better go too." He said, gesturing to Jason and himself. The curly haired brunette followed Shane's action and nodded.
"See you guys at school."
Caitlyn turned away from the two boys, after waving a quick good-bye over her shoulder, and went down the same street Mitchie had gone. The two stared as her figure slowly faded away at the distance. Once she was out of site, Shane turned to Jason, who was still seated on the ground. "Let's go."
The elder boy frowned from his spot. "No Mocha Frapp?" He wandered aloud. When Shane didn't respond, Jason slowly lifted himself from the ground and followed his friend.
By the time Shane and Jason had arrived back, it was already 5 o'clock. Nonetheless, the driveway was still completely empty, as was the rest of the house. The two had to go back after accidently leaving their cell phones on the ground, thanks to the spying process. Along with that, Jason used that opportunity to buy himself his beloved Mocha Frappuccino and to buy Shane a Strawberry and Creme Frappuccino. As the two entered the empty household, Shane tossed away his empty Starbucks cup in the nearest trash can.
Up the stairs they went. Step by step, along with Jason's loud slurps from his drink. It was annoying Shane, but he still kept his mouth shut. After all, the older boy just bought him a frappuccino as well.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Shane announced. Jason, who decided to go play on the desktop, shouted a loud 'Okay!' before returning to his frappuccino. Before the raven haired boy could close the door, his friend interuppted him.
"Hey Shane, who's ThisIsMe123?"
