Here is Chapter 3 of the story. Thanks for all those who reviewed the previous chapter and added me on Author Favorites etc. I really appreciate them. Now for Chapter 3...
Chapter 3:
Mitchie's heart was racing 20 times faster as she stared at her laptop monitor. Her friends weren't back yet, and she was 1 click away to see her fiancé since the Christmas break. She took a glanced at her watch and sighed. 7.32 pm. The invite was sent 2 minutes ago. If Mitchie didn't reply soon, Shane would get really worried.
Her fingers touched the laptop mouse and she clicked: Yes. In a flash, the screen changed and Mitchie was face to face with the Connect 3 members. Shane saw her face and heaved a huge sigh of relief. "Finally Mitchie! We were very worried!" Shane exclaimed.
"And when he means 'we', it means him." Nate added, a smirk planted on his face. Mitchie simply smiled and laughed when Shane started chasing Nate around the room and Jason pointing the laptop to them. "Calm down guys! Or I'll log off!" Mitchie warned.
Shane and Nate stopped their argument and they wined and pleaded with Mitchie. The teen sighed and gave in. "Fine. But you boys argue on the silliest stuff." She muttered. It was then the 3 Connect 3 members noticed that 2 girls were missing. "Mitch, where are Caitlyn and Ella?" Jason questioned, looking at the monitor.
Mitchie slapped her forehead and groaned. "They went to get some food and drinks for us since dinner won't be served." Mitchie said, shaking her head. Shane was shocked. "Why? What is the occasion?" He inquired. "Our school is hosting the opening party." Mitchie announced.
Nate and Jason stared at Shane and he groaned. "Mitchie, you never told me or I would not have ask to video chat." He wined. Mitchie giggled and was about to reply when Caitlyn and Ella came in. "Never ask me to go get food at a party ever again; the boys were flirting with me." Ella complained, not seeing the laptop opened.
"CAITLYN! ELLA!" Nate, Jason and Shane called out. Caitlyn handed Mitchie a cup of hot chocolate and grinned into the laptop. "Hey guys!" She greeted, waving at Nate. Ella noticed that the laptop was open and that her previous comment was heard. She blushed crimson red and placed the sandwiches down on the desk.
"Hello everyone." Ella said, sitting on Mitchie's bed. "Ella!" Jason shouted, grinning like a love struck idiot. Mitchie struggled to hide a smile as she watched her friends' sort of flirting with their boyfriends. All of them are so hopelessly in love. The 18 year old thought.
"Mitch? Earth to Michelle Torres!" Shane said, waving his arms frantically and snapping his fingers. All attention was drawn to the girl who was sitting there staring into space. Caitlyn nudged her with her arm and Mitchie snapped back into reality. She glanced around and looked at her friends. "What?" She inquired, raising her eyebrows.
Everyone shrugged and the subject was dropped. They continued chatting until it was 9.15 pm. By that time, all of them were already half asleep. Mitchie stiffed a yawn and that set everyone off. They began yawning too. "God Mitchie, your yawn is contagious." Nate muttered, stretching his arms.
"Well, we have a concert tomorrow so goodnight." Jason informed, winking at Ella. Nate smiled at Caitlyn and walked off. After exchanging goodbyes with their boyfriends, Caitlyn and Ella went to get changed into pajamas. Only Shane and Mitchie were left on the video chat.
There was an uneasy silence between the engaged couple. They just stared at each other's eyes, enjoying the company. They did not know what to say to each other. Long distance relationships were very tough. Finally, Mitchie broke the silence. "So Shane, have a wonderful time at you concert tomorrow." She said quietly.
"Yeah, thanks." Shane replied. None of them wanted to make the first move to log off. They would not see each other until when Connect 3 performs near their school. "Have a nice time at boarding school Mitch." Shane added, a small smile spreading onto his face. "Thanks Shane." She answered.
Come on Shane! How lame was that? Tell her something else! A voice in Shane's head mocked him. Mitchie had been thinking the same thing. The couple seemed to read each other's minds and they opened their mouth at the same time. When Mitchie noted that, she burst out laughing. Shane soon joined in as Mitchie's laughter was simply contagious.
They were quite lucky everyone was at the hall dancing- the sound of laughter traveled across the hallway. Mitchie wiped the tears of happiness away from her eyes and grinned at her fiancé. The tension had disappeared as quick as a flash. "I love you Michelle Demitrica Torres, I swear to the heaven." Shane said.
Mitchie felt the familiar heat rose onto her cheeks. "I love you too Shane Joseph Grey. With my entire heart and sole." She replied, blowing a kiss to him. "Sweet dreams beautiful." Shane added, waving at his fiancée one last time.
"Night Shane." "Goodnight Mitchie." And that was it. Shane logged off and soon the girl was staring at a blank screen. She just sat there, remembering his face. At that moment, Caitlyn came in and chuckled at Mitchie. "Love struck much?" Her friend teased, sitting down in front of her.
Mitchie sighed and faced her friend. "You know, I just feel so sad that I won't be able to see Shane again until 1 ½ months time." The girl admitted. Caitlyn was silent and speechless. "I... I can understand that Mitchie. But as the days go by, the numbers of hours we have without them will decrease rapidly." She quickly reassured her best friend.
Mitchie cracked a tiny smile and she hugged her friend with everything she got. "Thanks Caitlyn." She whispered. Caitlyn hugged the girl back. "Your welcome." She responded. Just then, Ella entered the room. "Umm, did I miss something?" She inquired, causing Mitchie and Caitlyn to pull back from their hug.
The two friends looked at each other and rolled their eyes in unison. Ella could be as clueless as Jason sometimes, no doubt about that. After Mitchie changed into her pajamas, the trio climbed into their beds. When their heads hit the pillow, they fell asleep instantly.
2 hours later...
17 figures sneaked into Room 124. Caitlyn, Mitchie and Ella were sound sleep and didn't even stir when Darrell banged into the wall. "Wake up Caitlyn. Hmm... WAKE UP!" Lani's loud voice boomed. "Huh? What where is the fire?" Ella yelled, jolting up. Mitchie and Caitlyn also sat up, rubbing the sleepiness from their eyes.
"What time is it?" Caitlyn asked sleepily, lying back on her pillow. "It is... 11.45 PM!?" Mitchie exclaimed. "Why are you guys waking us at 11.45 pm?" Caitlyn half whispered half shouted. "We knocked on the door for 10 minutes and you guys didn't answer so we let ourselves in. Don't you want to know what happened at the party?" Valerie asked.
"Can we leave that till tomorrow?" Ella pleaded a look in her eyes. Tori shook her head, still in her party clothes. "We want you guys to know the details now." She informed. "And... Lindsay got splashed with punch." Alexia added, knowing that would grab their attention.
And it did. The 3 girls were out from their beds, firing questions at them. "Let's go to the common room to talk, this might take awhile." Priya said, stiffing a giggle. All 20 6B girls went out instantly.
"So what happened?" Caitlyn said excitedly, unable to control her happiness. Mitchie laughed. Everyone in 6B hated Lindsay because she was a mean, stuck- up beast. "So, this is what happened. We were all dancing to the beat of the music and got really tired." Wilma began. All the other girls joined in.
Felicity: So we went to the punch table to get a drink. All 17 of us.
Malory: And Lindsay was there, flirting with a very cute boy.
Brynn: Since we hate her so much, Jenna decided to do a little prank on her.
Chelsea: So Alyssa, Jenna and Natalie went over. Alyssa and Natalie sort of flirt with the boy too, to get Lindsay annoyed.
Gaby: While that was happening, Jenna got some punch to drink.
Jenna: Then I pretended to slip and fall, spilling the punch onto Lindsay's dress and wetted her hair! (Starts Cracking up.)
Liana: Then she was like "OMG! My beautiful hair! You stupid 6B girls!" And the boy was so surprised and Lindsay stormed off!
Alexia: But here is the catch. When Lindsay walked past us, Tori spitted water on her seeing the sight of her wet self!
At this point, everyone broke into peals of laughter. "And I just ate Chicken Wings, so the smell got onto Lindsay too." Tori piped up, grinning from ear to ear. Mitchie and Ella squealed in delight and their eyes sparkled with joy. Revenge on their worst enemy was complete!
"Then... then what happened?" Ella asked. "Lindsay shirked and bolted back into her room shouting "I AM GOING TO GET REVENGE 6B GIRLS! WATCH YOU BACKS!" Everyone just stared at us as if we were nuts." Sally finished. By that time, everyone was on the carpet floor, clutching their aching sides.
There was a sharp rap on the door and the laughter stopped. The new head girl Hilary poked her head in. "Hey 6B girls, I know you want to gossip but could you please keep it down? Us 6A girls in our sleep." She reported.
"Sorry Hilary." 20 girls replied meekly. "By the way, that trick on Lindsay was priceless. Jenna, try to behave okay? You got us into enough trouble last year. But next time, don't do it when we are partying. She has been chattering about it all night and I need to sleep alright?" Hilary added. Without waiting for an answer, Hilary closed the door behind her.
All the girls stared at one another. "How did she know it was me who thought of the prank?" Jenna said. "Duh! You are the famous prankster." Her friends chorused in unison.
Jenna was definitely famous in Alfea College. She had been playing pranks on teachers and enemies since she stared school here. But somehow whenever Jenna plays a trick, she always got her entire form into trouble. The girls didn't mind however; they had a good laugh every time.
Still silently giggling, the group went back into their separate dorms to get some shut eye. The next day went by in a flash and soon, it was the time for classes on a Monday...
2 days later...
"Ding... Ding..." The clock struck 7am and the morning bell echoed through the whole school. "Ugghhh..." Mitchie muttered, burring her head under the pillow. Caitlyn also didn't want to wake up. But Ella jumped up in excitement and started shaking them up. "Come on! Classes starts today!" She yelled in glee.
Groaning, the other 2 girls dragged themselves out of bed, washing their faces and combing their hair. "I just feel like sleeping..." Mitchie muttered, plopping down back on the bed after freshening up. "Come on Mitchie! Breakfast starts in 5 minutes!" Caitlyn shouted.
"Coming..." Mitchie replied, getting up and tucked the covers in. She rushed out of the room and went into the enormous cafeteria.
No cliffhanger here! So what will happen on the first day of classes? Don't worry; the drama will start in Chapter 5! Hope you have enjoyed this chapter! Please read and review! Next chapter will be up soon. Bye.
