Chapter 10- So Called Confessions
"Aww congrats you guys" Jason beamed at the new couple. Mitchie and Nate happily thanked him before they were pulled into a tight hug.
Both Shane and Caitlyn's eyes nearly popped out of their eye sockets. 'Is it so wrong for me to take my girlfriend out for lunch?' Nate's words repeated in Shane's mind. Even as he tried to push away the thought, all he could think of was their 'togetherness'. 'He said he wasn't interested in her...and now he's dating her...'
"Shane. Shane!" Nate's voice broke him out of his thoughts. Everyone at the table was staring at them, except Caitlyn, who continued to glare at Mitchie. "Aren't you happy for us?"
Shane cringed. There was such a strong urge to just shout 'No!', as well as simply leaving the cafeteria without a word. "Um...congratulations. Good luck keeping her for at least an hour Nate." He blurted out.
Nate and Mitchie's smile both faded away. "Thanks Shane, thanks." Nate muttered turning his attention to his newly gained girlfriend. "Did you tell Sierra yet?"
Mitchie shook her head. "She wasn't at school today. So I wanted to tell her after school in person."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
Once again, Mitchie shook her head. "It's okay." She smiled. "You'll probably want to have some time with the guys." Everyone, except Shane, missed the wink, which was aimed at him. Nonetheless, he kept his mouth shut, trying to think of anything else but Nate and Mitchie.
Nate smiled. "Alright. Just call or text if you need me."
"Okay let's talk about something else besides your love life." Caitlyn said with an annoyed tone. Mitchie glanced at the curly haired brunette.
"Woah slow down there!" Mitchie exclaimed. "No need to be angry because you don't have a relationship that's half as great as mine." She scoffed. The three boys stared at the girls, wide eyed due to the tension. Never had they seen Mitchie and Caitlyn so verbally brutal towards each other.
Caitlyn chuckled dryly. "Oh please Mitchie, just because you have a new look and so called 'personality' doesn't mean you're still not in love with Shane." She stood up from her seat, grabbing her tray and books, and began to walk off. She turned around once more, glaring darkly as Mitchie. "Face it, you're still in love with Shane and you know it. You have no interest in Nate whatsoever." And with that, she dumped her tray before leaving the cafeteria.
Mitchie held a hard stone expression. "Guys, just ignore Caitlyn. She's just jealous that I have Nate and she doesn't." The four sat in an awkward silence before Mitchie marched off, not even bothering to say good-bye to her boyfriend.
"I have nothing to say." Shane said, staring at the two empty seats.
Jason chuckled, trying to break the tension in the process. "You just said something." He pointed out. Shane glared at his friend. "Say nothing Jason."
"Nothing?"
Nate rolled his eyes at the two. Usually, he and Jason would be the ones arguing about nonsense. Now he knew how Shane felt every time he stumbled upon them. "I think we should just have that guys night out."
Both Shane and Jason laughed, though it was closer to a giggle, like elementary school girls. "He's afraid to confront his girlfriend." The elder boy stated, bursting into laughter.
"Whatever. I'll see you guys in Music." Nate waved good-bye to the two, leaving Jason and Shane to themselves. The older boy turned to his friend, his expression completely blank.
"Nate messed up. Big time."
After the short argument in the cafeteria, Shane and Jason had 10 minutes left to do nothing. Unfortunately, they didn't have Jason's guitar to keep them occupied, so instead, they walked all the way to a nearby gas station to buy some candy. On the way there, they bumped into a furious Caitlyn, who ended up following them back to school. In the end, Shane and Jason didn't even get halfway to the gas station.
"Who does she think she is? The Queen of England? Just because you rejected her, she thinks she can go off and drag me to take her shopping for a new look. And then this is how she repays me? She embarrasses me in front of Nate because she just loves to feeling of wrecking someone elses life for her own personal gains. Next, she'll probably ruin his life and then go after Jason since she can't have Shane."
Both Shane and Jason winced, trying to ignore the rants from Caitlyn. The whole trip back, she was venting on and on about Mitchie. How they were friend, she was a jerk, now they weren't friends. It was an endless story and every time it was retold, there was only more details added.
Suddenly, Shane stopped. "Wait, this makeover thing is your fault!?"
Caitlyn glared at him. "We're talking about my problems Shane."
"But still, why'd you turn her into...into some hooker!"
Caitlyn and Jason laughed, though they immediately stopped after seeing Shane's glare upon them. "Well, she asked me to make her into something different and attractive." She answered. "And I had just seen some punk girls hitting on some guys."
Shane frowned. "You didn't have to help her though."
"You were mean to her so as a friend, it was my duty to help her. So technically, it's your fault." Jason quickly nodded. "She's got you there man."
"Whatever."
Shane turned around to go into a different direction when he bumped into someone else, two someones to be exact. "Oh great, the witch has returned." Caitlyn muttered. "To what do we owe this not so pleasureful visit.
Mitchie attempted to hide her glare, though she did quiet a bad job at it. "Now Caitlyn, don't make me regret my decision of coming to find here to apologize."
The curly haired brunette scoffed. "Like I even want an apology from the likes of you." She grabbed a confused Jason by the arm and dragged him away from the group.
"Nate. Can I talk to Shane alone?"
Nate stared at the two, bewildered. "Uhh alright. I guess I'll just see you guys in class?" Mitchie grinned. "Most definitely! See you later!" She exclaimed, giving Nate a tight hug. The curly haired boy awkwardly returned the favor before running off to catch up to Caitlyn and Jason.
"Not to be rude, but why do you want to talk to me?" Shane asked bemused.
Mitchie shrugged. "I wanted to apologize for what happened at lunch...and just now." She said as the two walked off into the school building. The bell had rung a minute prior to the Mitchie-Caitlyn argument, though Brown would most likely let it slip.
"No offense Mitchie, but I'm the not one you should apologize to." The girl opened her mouth to reply, but Shane cut her off. "Neither is Nate or Jason."
Mitchie frowned. "I refuse to apologize to her." She said, crossing her arms of her chest. The raven haired boy snorted. 'Stubborn girl.' he thought. "Why not? You made her mad at lunch."
"She called me a witch."
Shane shrugged. "You called her jealous."
"So? She is being jealous! She likes Nate, but she's jealous that he's my boyfriend!"
"She's probably upset that you're dating him even though you knew she liked him."
Mitchie pouted. "I'm still not a witch." the girl insisted.
"Maybe not, but you might want to evaluate how you treat your so called friends." He replied. "See ya later." That was all Shane said before waving to Mitchie and walking away, following the same direction as Nate, Jason, and Caitllyn.
When Shane entered the Music classroom without Mitchie in tow, that was when Nate began to worry. He repeatedly asked his friend about Mitchie's whereabouts, but even as the rest of the group assured Nate that she'd be okay, he still insisted to go and search for her. And that he did.
"If we're late, cover for us!" That was all Nate said before he dashed out of the classroom. Jason stared at the door, shaking his head disapprovingly.
"He's such a bossy little bugger." The other two quickly nodded in agreement.
Luckily, before Brown (and the majority of the students) arrived to class, Nate and Mitchie had miraculously made it back in super speed. The bell hadn't rung as well! Caitlyn continued to glare at the couple as the two made their way to the back of the room.
"You didn't have to worry Nate. I was fine."
"I had no choice. I didn't know what happened between you and Shane."
Mitchie smiled. "Well, I guess I must be pretty special huh?"
As Mitchie attempted to sit down in the seat on the other side of Shane, Caitlyn spoke up. "Sorry Mitchie, these seats are saved." She said, her lips curving in a smirk.
The girl glared. "For who exactly?"
Caitlyn pursed her lips together, thinking of a plan. Right at the moment, Tess, along with Ella and Peggy, entered into the classroom. "Tess." She smiled. Upon hearing her name, the blonde pranced up to the group. "What about Tess?" She asked, nicer then usual.
"The seat next to Shane is saved just for you."
Tess let out an ear pitching squeal, nearly deafening the rest of the group. She sat herself beside Shane, who glared at the smirking Caitlyn. "You owe me. Big time." He mouthed to her.
Mitchie scowled. "And where do you expect us to sit?" She asked, motioning to herself and Nate. Caitlyn smiled. "I don't know, maybe you two should work that out amongst yourself." She turned to a confused Ella and Peggy. "You guys are welcome to pull up a chair if you want."
Jason stared at Caitlyn blankly. "So Nate and Mitchie can pull up a seat too?"
Before Caitlyn could even open her both to reply, Mitchie cut her off by clapping her hands together. "What a wonderful idea Jason!" So she ran off to fetch two chairs, leaving Nate as confused as many of the others. He turned to Caitlyn. "Can't you guys be civil to each other?" He hissed.
Caitlyn smirked. "That would require patience and some respect, none which I have for her." She answered with an equally bored tone and expression.
Shane rolled his eyes at the two. "Could you please just cut the drama and become friends again?" He asked annoyed, trying to focus on Caitlyn and Nate. From his other side, Tess gazed lovingly at him. "You didn't come over yesterday Shane."
"Jason and I went to Caitlyn's to bake a cake." He lied. Jason cocked his eyebrow. "Dude, we got some Frapps remember?"
Caitlyn kicked his shin. She leaned more outward to hide Jason's pained expression. "Yup. We got Frapps and then decided to bake a cake."
Tess snorted. "Gross calories." She muttered.
Before anymore could be said, Mitchie returned, dragging two chairs behind her. She placed them in front of Caitlyn and Shane before taking a seat. Nate hesitated to sit down, but soon had no choice once Mitchie yanked him down beside her. "Thanks." He muttered.
Even as Brown came in, Mitchie and Caitlyn just glared at each other, both saying absolutely nothing. The rest of the group, consisting of Jason, Shane, Nate, Tess, Ella, and Peggy, just tried to ignore it. Even Brown chose not to ask, he just simply went on as usual. Crack a joke. Make the class laugh. Have someone perform for the class. Teach the class something wonderful about music.
"Okay so today, the superintendent came up to me and decide to have a discussion about my teaching method." Nearly the whole class booed, making Brown laugh. His class was fun, as well as easy. So many of the students had improved their vocal cords thanks to Brown. "Woah there rockers." He held up his hands in defence. "Let me finish. Superintendent Baxter just wanted proof that you guys can actually sing."
He paused, letting the suspense fill in. Brown finally continued when he noticed that the whole room was practically still. "So we are now unfortunately forced to sing the Star Spangled Banner at the next school pep rally." He held up his hands to the side, wiggling his fingers in the process.
The class laughed at his position. Brown let them calm down a bit before continuing on. "So how many of you aren't very comfortable singing in front of a crowd?" Only one went up, which happened to be Caitlyn's
Brown chuckled. "Very well then." He turned to Nate. "Ahh Nate, the vocal extraordinaire." He stated, ignoring Shane's frown. "I do believe that you'll be an excellent coach. I want Ms. Gellar and yourself to meet up sometime after school to work with her. Anyway you can. Understand?" Both nodded reluctantly.
"B-but he can't!" Mitchie exclaimed. All eyes turned to her.
"And why not Ms. Torres?"
Mitchie kept her mouth shut, saying absolutely nothing, leaving Brown bewildered. "So...be prepared by the next rally okay?" Everyone nodded, even the flushed Mitchie.
Right on the dot, the bell rung and the students slowly gathered their supplies before exiting the room. As they left, Mitchie couldn't help but frown as Nate continued talking to Caitlyn. "So Cait, want to meet up after school and walk to my house?" The curly haired girl blushed.
"Okay."
Nate waved farewell to the group before walking off with Caitlyn. Shane, Mitchie, and Jason stood confused. It wasn't very long before Mitchie huffed angrily and stomped away.
"Yeah I'm confused." Jason said aloud.
"Me too Jason, me too."
After school, Nate and Caitlyn had quickly met up and left. As Shane headed off to the bus stop, he was quickly cut off when Mitchie decided to step in front of him. She had her arms crossed again, but this time, she held a smile. "Hey Shane." She greeted.
Shane cocked his eyebrow. "Hi..." He said awkwardly.
"So whatcha doing?" She asked in a sing-song tone. The raven haired boy laughed. "Going to catch the bus." He answered in the same tone.
Mitchie smiled. "Since Nate's with Caitlyn and Jason's not here, you want to hang out?" She noticed Shane's expression, one that gave her a 'haven't we've already tried this before' look. "As friends of course." She quickly added.
The boy smiled sincerely. "I guess. There's really nothing else I have planned."
"Good!" Before Shane could say anything, Mitchie grabbed him by the wrist and began to drag him towards the bus stop. Shane stumbled with every step, even as they entered the newly arrived bus. "Where are we going exactly?" He asked as he took a seat next to Mitchie.
She smiled. "To my house. So we can leave our stuff there. Then we're gonna go to the mall and have some fun."
A little girl sitting in front of the two turned around, eyeing the two curiously. "Is this your girlfriend mister?" She asked.
Shane smiled weakly. As he opened his mouth to reply, Mitchie quickly cut him off. "Of course!" She answered. "Do you want to be his girlfriend sweetie."
The little girl shook her head. "No! Boys have cooties." She said with a toothy grin. The girl stuck her tongue at the the two before turning back around, poking at the sleeping elderly woman beside her.
Shane wrinkled his nose. 'This is not going to go well...'
Half an hour later, the two finally arrived to the mall. They had gone past several malls, but Mitchie was determined to get to that certain one. Just like before, she was practically dragging Shane behind her as he tripped over his own feet.
"Please tell me that we're not here to help you shop."
"We're not here to help me shop?"
"Are you lying?"
"Not this time."
Shane smiled happily as the two walked through and through the shoppers. "So where are we going then?" Mitchie grinned, still walking forward.
"You'll see."
Not seconds later, Shane finally caught sight of where they were going. Coming into view, there hung a huge light blue banner. In big bold white letters, the banner read 'Arctic Ice Rink'. Shane's eyes widened as the grew closer to the building. All around, there were kids racing on the ice, couples holding hands, and people fall. The rink sat in the middle of the mall and shoppers walking past could simply stop, watch, and even laugh at the people at their failed attempt to skate.
"There is no way that I'm doing this."
