Mitchie used her hand to act like she was shading her face away from the sun. In reality she was hiding from everyone. At least one person HAS to know who I am. But maybe not. Hopefully not. Please not! Mitchie begged in her head.

"Anyone know where Mitchie is? Lover boy here can't write a descent song until he finds his mystery girl." Shane said into the mic. Mitchie looked up to the stage, and just then Jason's face looked like he had just seen a U.F.O.

"I have an Idea! If we chant her name, maybe she'll come up here! C'mon you guys! Do it for the bird house! MITCHIE! MITCHIE! MITCHIE!" He chanted. Slowly people were joining in. Mitchie stood up and quickly made her way through the maze into Caitlyn's house. Her head was down, causing her hair to create a curtain separating her from the outside world.

"Excuse you!" A shrill voice said. Mitchie had bumped into someone. She looked up, and saw Amanda standing in her way.

"Ew. Can I help you?" She asked. Mitchie kept staring at her.

"Aw, Why are you crying? Did reality set in? Did you finally realize that no one likes a freak like you. Disappear." Amanda continued.

Mitchie frowned.

Holly's voice chimed in, "Amanda...it kind of sounds like they like her out there." She pointed to the screen door to the people chanting her name outside. Amanda stayed quiet for a moment.

"You really are a freak. Running away from attenti-" She raised her eyebrow and smiled. Mitchie knew Amanda had realized that Mitchie was running from attention.

"Don't you realize your wanted outside? C'mon, lets go. I'll introduce you." Amanda smiled. "Boys, could you help out here?" Amanda snapped her finger and two boys that looked like senior body builders came to Mitchie's side.

"Take her to the stage." Amanda's smile grew bigger. The seniors each grabbed either side of Mitchie's arm. Before she could process what was happening, she was in the air being taken outside.

"No!! NO! PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN NOW! PLEASE! NO!!" Her voice was giving out from shouting so loud. The seniors already had her out the screen doors. Mitchie looked up to Amanda and Holly. Amanda was standing in a casual stance with her arms crossed. Holly had a weird expression on her face. As if she-cared a bit.

"PUT ME DOWN! PLEASE! NO DONT DO THIS! PLEASE!" She was squirming like crazy. She was getting closer and closer to the stage. She looked to her sides to look for caitlyn. No sign of her. With every ounce of power she had left in her, she whaled her arms, and accidentally hit one of the seniors in the face.

"OUCHHHH!!" A deep voice said.

"Hey man, you ok?" The other senior sad. The one that got hit in the face let go of Mitchie's arm, only having her left arm locked.

"No! She hit me in the freakin' face!" He said. The senior that suspended her arm pushed her out of the way to get to the hurt senior. Mitchie lost her balance and fell face forward into the Birthday cake.

With her name still being chanted, Mitchie heard Amanda's voice yell to the pea-brain seniors, "You losers! Grab her and take her to the stage!"

Mitchie pushed herself up from the ruined cake, and wiped her eyes with her hands so she could see. A cough escaped her cake filled mouth. She felt pressure around her arms, and looked to her sides. The body-builders had started carrying her to the stage once again.

"PLEASE STOP!" Mitchie cried. She was already on stage, and she still wasn't let go of. They finally released her, when she was merely feet from Shane Grey and the rest of Connect 3. She was put down on her knees and, she watched the seniors walk away high-fiving each other. Mitchie looked up and saw Shane staring at her, holding back a laugh.

"Nate, I think this is for you." Shane turned sharply, laughing quietly. The crowd erupted with laughter, and Mitchie started crying. Nate slowly walked to where Shane was standing, and looked down at the cake covered girl. He extended his hand, offering to help her up. She hesitated and slowly grabbed it.

As mitchie crouched up, She could feel Nate staring at her. Ashamed she looked at him to see his expression. The moments seemed like hours, that they just stared at each other.

".....Queen Latifa.....?" He asked quietly as he wiped cake from her cheek. Mitchie smiled a little. He started wiping away more cake, and she pulled away.

"Let's light up the cake!" A voice yelled. Small birthday candles were being thrown at Mitchie.

"You don't want to see who I really am." She said quietly and started walking away. Nate reached, and caught her hand. Mitchie pulled away and started running. Running from the truth.

You made it!! So Mitchie and Nate finally saw each other! Sort of. Mitchie knows it's really him!! Ohh What's going to happen next?
