"See I told you you wouldn't believe me..." I smiled at him, turning back to the television.

When I didn't hear him say anything in reply I turned to face him and saw him staring at me. I nearly went back to plant Mars but managed to find my voice, looking back into his beautiful brown orbs. "I'm such a fan girl, okay?" I laughed at his expression.

"Wow.." He breathed out looking a little dazed.

I laughed again at his expression and bit into one of my french fries. "I warned you it was crazy.....totally crazy." I said.

He nodded.

"Are your fries as crispy as mine?" I asked absentmindedly staring at my food. I didn't know what to expect his reaction to be, but the worst I thought was that he would probably think I'm crazy and never talk to me again. He was too busy staring into la la land too even notice me staring at him again.

"Was that song really about me?" I heard him ask again.

I bit my lip this time, embarrassment suddenly overtaking me. "It was..." I choked out, not able to meet his eyes.

"And I was praising myself like a idiot when we were writing When You Look Me In The Eyes?" He asked, chuckling slightly.

"You were...and I'm sorry....I-I...really...you know, I'm a huge fan and I...." I started blabbering, suddenly defending myself. Why was I even saying sorry? It wasn't like I commited a sin.

"So, I make you crazier? Huh?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

"What?" I replied, surpirsed at him.

"The lyrics were something like 'you make me crazier and crazier and crazier', right?

"Not, exactly, but nearly like that...It's nothing, gosh....just a song." I lied. Of course it was something. What does he think? I go around writing songs about ever popstar I lay my eyes on? Nope. "Oh, gosh Shane, this is so embarrassing!" I found myself whine as my hands masked over my face, not really caring that my fingertips were greasy because of the oil coming from the food we were eating.

"Hey...."He said placing his arm around my shoulders. I was so shocked by the sudden contact that I stared at him for a while, my hands now falling to my sides. He pulled me closer so that my head was somewhat resting on his muscular shoulders. "It's okay, Mitchie." He smiled. "I think it's really sweet of you to have written that song for me." He thoughfully brought his fingertips up to my messy bangs and threw them to the back of my head. "Don't worry I dont think you're a freak...although that might have come across my mind if I didn't know you already."

I smiled at him, shyly still trying to get my breathing together as my brain slowly processed the fact that he was holding me in his arms. I know, surreal, right?

Jealous anyone?

"So guess what?" He finally said, after what seemed like a few torturous minutes but was mearly seconds.

"What?" I asked, curiously turing to face him. You see, with the position I was in, that wasn't such a good idea, because it just nearly ended the distance between my lips and his, nearly.

My eyes wandered everywhere around his face, except for his eyes. I didn't want to meet them because I was afraid of seeing a possible dissaproval in them because of the closeness because no matter what at the end of the day he was my teacher so what if he was an incredibley sexy 19 year old rock star? That doesnt matter, right?

"I dont want to kiss you and mess things up between us..." I found him say, taking me completely off guard. This wasn't what I was expecting to hear. It was the last thing I was expecting to hear, actually. To think the though of kissing him was on my mind wasn't rocket science, but was that what he was thinking too? Kissing me?

"Huh?" I asked stupidly moving my dissapointed gaze from his face back to the television, feeling slightly dejected. Thank you for being there TV during awkward moments.

"I don't know what I'm saying..." He trailed off looking slightly stressed, moving his gaze to the TV too. And I couldnt help but wonder if thoughts of Cheryl were wondering in his mind, maybe that was his reason of not kissing me or maybe it was because we were friends and he was my teacher and I was his student. I dunno...our relationship was too confusing. "We have a charity concert for the Meedington cancer society next weekend, I'm really excited to finally do a show after so long...so pumped."

My lips parted and head nodded in agreement as I kept looking at the match, embarrassed.

"Wow, that's great, Shane." I smiled, genunily happy that he was actually planning on getting his life back together, sorting things out so that everything was getting back to normal even if it did start with a show.

"Right? And..." He paused, smiling cheekily at me. "I showed the guys the song that we wrote and we had a great idea. Why don't you sing a duet with us at the concert? I know you've never done something so big and its a first for us, you know doing this whole thing with someone else....I think the expreience will be great for you..." He asked, hopefully.

"What?"

"Yeah, the guys were hoping if I asked you, you would agree?"

"Yeah, and give the school authority another reason to think of kicking you out as a teacher? I don't think so." I replied, stunned and honoured both at the same time.

"I don't honestly care about them. We're staying in Miami even if we teach at the school or not and honestly, at the moment I'm not so interested because there is nothing to look forward to really than seeing you there and I get to see you everyday even if I don't go there, neighbour.." He nudged me playfully.

"Did they really beat your ass up so badly today at the meeting that you don't even wanna go back there anymore?" I laughed lightly, moving slightly so that I was a little bit more comfortable and could get a better view of his gorgeous face.

"Kind of...yeah."

"What did they say?"

"They said that apparently I am giving you special treatment in class according to reports they have been recieving and that I should not meet you at all after school and some other stuff that I don't really want to talk about at the moment." He ended with a weak smile.

"But you didn't even let me go to the stupid bathroom the other day in class....I swear my bladdar nearly burst and then you made me type and print out 34 different songs to hand over to the class to work on...how the heck is that speacial treatment? You're just a pain in the-....Oh...now I....Tess." I blabbered on untill finally realized that it must have been Tess going to the faculty. I swear I will be responsible for the death of that girl one day.

I laughed a little now leaning back on the couch so that I could put all my body weight and laugh fully, Shane stared at me like I had just cracked a joke that he didnt quite understand.

"I just havn't had anyone so jealous of me before, it's kind of funny if you think if it, really." I explained.

"Yeah, hilarious." He added, sarcasm vivid in his voice. "Why does she hate you so much?"

"I dunno...maybe it was because...or because? Or.....Oh yeah...see, in first grade this guy that she liked asked to share my set of crayons with him instead with her and I think it's stupid but some to think of it she's started hating me since then." I went into flashback remembering old days where I didn't even know there would be a Shane Gray in my life that I would be so tempted to kiss at the moment. I know It was ridiculous.

"Wow."

"I know.....wow."

"So, what do you say about the song?"

"What song?"

"The concert one."

"Oh..." I sighed. I did want to do it. I really did but I knew I didn't have it in me to sing in fromt of and audience of 20 000 I would probably puke on stage...not a sight you want to see, let me tell you. But then again that would be another way of pissing Tess off, need to get back at her after what she did to me anyway. Oh, she would be jealous alright. She would be burning! And then I'd get to spend more time with Shane.....what use, anyway? I think it is quite clear nothing will happen between us ever, not if we keep worrying about our friendship being ruined. "No, I don't think so, Shane..I won't be able to do it."

"Of course you will....it's not too hard...we'll help you."

I shook my head. "No, I don't want to do it, honestly. If you guys like then make the lyrics into a song and perform it or put it into your next album or something or get someone else to sing with you, just not me."

He looked dissapointed. "How about Tess?" He joked,

"Yeah that would be perfect. She'll just scare you off of the stage singing when you look me in the eyes. I swear, I will never let that girl near our song. You're not sining with her....not our song."

"Our song?" He asked, smirking and with raised eye brows.

"Yes, our song. The one that you and me wrote together....duh?"

He nodded, slightly amused at something. "Will you change your mind if I say please?"

Maybe I will if I get to kiss you.

"No, sorry." I smiled sweetly at him.

"Well there went nothing."

I watched intently as the crowd of 20 000 chanted Connect 3's name numerous times at a tone which seemed deafening. Bodies brushed against each other as people- mostly overly excited girls pushed and shoved each other to get to the front row- where me and Caitlyn were already at. I was excited, well beyond excited actually. I was elated and all the other adjectives that could describe my happy mood. This was my fourth Connect 3 concert but it was the first that I had been to after actually knowing them.

Neon lights were waved vigerously as the lights slowly dimmed and the crowed seemed to cheer louder, Caitlyn and I adding to the deafening cheers, not able to hear our own voices but assuming that they were added to the cheers. I had to stop myself several times from slapping a few girls who were going crazy screaming "SHANE! Shane!...Marry me!" What the fuck? He wasn't even on stage yet. Talk about self control. I was getting really good at it, resisting the erge of kissing Shane each time I saw him, risisiting the erge of slapping the annoying girls beside me silly. I was awesome. Shane had given me a couple of tickets to the show and told me to invite anyone I wanted. It wasn't an offer I would throw away so easily, but I didnt exatly have so many people to invite. Josh, Jessica, Caitlyn came along because, of course they were Connect 3's friends and well, I invited Davide. Don;t hate me, please? He's my friend right? And he's new in town so I thought it would be a nice way of feeling welcomed and getting to know everyone although half of the school was already here. Shane even invited mom who had arrived from New York the previous night. She was watching from backstage with Shane's mother- with whom she seemed to get along with like fire on ice. Most of the school teachers were present too, which was annoying- seeing them in school all week and then again on Sunday's...gosh, my life.

So, getting back to my tickets, well since I had around four more free I didnt want to waste them and being the wonderful soul that I am I gave them over to a couple of girls who were waiting outside the venue for a glimpse of Connect 3 since they couldnt get tickets. They were so excited that at first they thought I was pranking them, but when they realized they were for real they coulnd;t stop thanking me. I was happy they came to use, but was still pissed that Tess was at the concert. Gosh, she always gets a way of getting everywhere Shane was.

The concert started and finished in a flash. If anyone alsked me what Nate and Jason had done I wouldn't have an answer because they were invisible to me throughout the whole thing it was like they had been blurred out of my vision and all I could see and hear was Shane. They performed some of my favourite songs with Nate singing towards us, well not to me obviously- to Caity and Shane- well, I dunno he seemed to be everywhere.....He even winked at me. Caitlyn and I shared a laugh as the girls surrounding us went beserk thinking Shane was winking at them. It just made me laugh harder. Jessica and Josh seemed to enjoy the concert too, even though Josh was never a Connect 3 fan. According to him their style wasnt really what his was, but Connect 3 seemed to be growing on Jess. She was dancing away to their tune and even sang along to the one song she knew of theirs. Davide was really excited, actually. It was his first Connect 3 concert and being able to get such great seats was a huge deal and some how I dont know if I was just imagining things or what, but he seemed overwhelmed that I had asked him to join us. It was cute.

I didn't want to miss a second of them on stage and only decided to go back stage and congratulate them after all of the lights had gone off and the rest of the band were off of stage.

Josh and Jessica had to leave early because of Jessica's curfew, luckily I didn't have one....I was here with my mommy dearest. Caitlyn and Davide gathered around an excited group of people, mostly friends and family as they all gushed happily at how successful the show was. My eyes wandered around every inch of the busy room, backstage trying to locate Shane. All I could find was Nate and Jason and a hound of familiar faces, no Shane.

"Hey, Nate. Do you know where Shane is?"

"He said, he's going to get some water from his room, he should be there." I thanked him and made my way towards Shane's dressing room. A huge smile plastered over my face, my mind repeating the congratulaing message I had ready for him. I knocked lightly at his door, but found no answer, turning the handle I realized the door was open from before. A small peek inside the room left my heart shattered and mind racing.

She had her lips pressed against his, her hands trailing around his chest and settling around his neck. His hands rested confortably around her waist as I watched their kiss getting deeper and my heart breaking faster. Trying to hide myself and my tears I made a left turn and stumbled against the small table kept against the front of his door, making a huge tumbling sound.

Both theie attentions turned towards me.

"Mitchie...wait!" I heard Shane scream from behind me as I walked haistily back to the crowded room full of celebrations.
