Here's chapter 7 for ya. I don't even know how many times I had to re-write it until it was good enough to post…I hope you like it!

"Are you sure?" I was facing Caitlyn at the cafeteria.-I had led her to the quiet table at the corner so that we could talk more privately. "You wanna keep it a secret?" She nodded.
"It's just that, you know…people can be mean." She stated. Well, I had to agree with her.
"True…" I glanced at the table where our friends were. And they seemed to have noticed us alone in that corner, because I saw Lola whispering something to Barron.-and then they got up and approached us, along with Sander, Peggy and Ella.
"Hey, you two!" Lola exclaimed, flashing us a smile. "I see you guys made up." We smiled back at her.
"Yup." Caitlyn said. "You didn't think that BFF's like us could keep too long away from eachother, did ya?" Caitlyn's half-lie made me giggle. 'Cause after all, we were way more than just BFF's now…
"Good to hear that." Barron said, smiling as well. "Hey, why don't you come and join us?"
"Yeah, you guys are totally alone in here." Said Sander. Well, that was the whole point of sitting here: alone time with Caitlyn.-I thought.-But they were our friends, so I got up.
"Sure." I said. Caitlyn got up as well and we followed them to their table. I couldn't help but to smile all the time…Everything was starting to head into a good direction; it was what I'd needed all along.
I looked around from our table and spotted the Connect 3 boys entering the cafeteria.-I instantly nudged Caitlyn's shoulder.
"Nate alert." I said. She shivered and turned to look at him, before letting out a sigh.-I put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"You gotta talk to him." I said as I sent her a warm smile. "You can't start just running away from him. You need to tell him."
"I know…I just…" she said. "I don't wanna hurt him.
"Well, technically you're still dating him…" I said.-her eyes got wide at the realization. "But wait…oh, yes…" I leaned to her ear to whisper. "You're dating me now. That means if you don't break up with him, that'd be cheating…and then he'll get even more hurt." I wasn't lying….I did care about Nate; he was like a brother to me. And I was never mad at him…just a bit jealous of him because of Caitlyn.
"Makes sense." She stated. I grinned at her. "Ok, I'll talk to him as soon as we finish dinner."
"You don't think he'll react badly, do you?" I asked, considering the possibility of him getting mad at her.
"Don't think so." She said. "He's very understanding."
"Good…" I smiled. She sent me my favorite crooked smile. I glanced at her brown eyes, then at her lips, and I had to fight the urge to kiss her. Mitchie, control yourself…not here.-At that moment, the boys approached us.
"Hey, there Mitchs." Said Shane as he sent me a warm smile. I felt Caitlyn's gaze from me to him and she moved nervously on her seat.-I grabbed her hand to calm her down. Shane noticed it and grinned. "I noticed things are better with you, right…?"
"Oh, yeah…" I said, glancing at Caitlyn and grinning as well. "Way better." Caitlyn looked at Nate and sighed.
"Hey, Nate…can I talk to you?" she said. "Privately?" He smiled at her.-I could swear I heard Barron and Sander making some sort of 'ooooh!' sound.
"Sure." He said, and then looked at me. "You don't mind if I steal her for a bit, do you?"
"No, go ahead." I said. "We've finished dinner anyway." He grabbed her hand to lead her outside, while they walked towards the door, she looked back at me and mouthed a 'help me!' I chuckled and mouthed back a 'good luck'.
…
Later that night, I was back at my cabin, lying on my bed while I read my copy of 'Twilight'. But I couldn't concentrate on the book…I wanted to know if things with Nate had gone well to Caitlyn. Hopefully he didn't react badly.
But what if he did? What if he got pissed and decided to tell everyone? It would turn our lives into hell. But no…I had to trust Nate's good sense. He wasn't a mean person, after all.
As I thought that, I heard footsteps approaching. The noise told that it was more than a person and it relieved me.-So I ran to the cabin's door and opened it, finding Nate and Caitlyn approaching the doorway laughing.
"I guess everything went good then?" I asked, grinning. Nate nodded.
"He wasn't so surprised, though." Caitlyn said. I raised an eyebrow, confused and turned to Nate.
"You weren't?" I asked.
"Not really…" he said, grinning. "The way you and Caitlyn always acted around eachother kinda showed it. By the way, Caitlyn asked me to keep it a secret, for now."
"So you're ok with it…?"
"Yeah." He said. "Just one thing…"His face turned serious and I froze. "Take care of her."
A wave of relief hit me as he repeated what I'd said to him some time ago.-I smiled.
"Don't worry, I will."
"So…I guess I'll go back to my cabin." He said, smiling. "Me and the guys have to rehearse."
"See ya Nate." We both said.-almost like we'd rehearsed it.-We fell into laughter as he walked away. After we lost his form of sight Caitlyn turned to me with hopeful eyes.
"Mitchie, I was thinking if…"
"Of course you can move back." I quickly finished for her. She instantly pulled me into a hug.
"I'm gonna get my stuff." She said happily.-Her childish self showing. That was probably the side of her I loved the most.
I just couldn't believe how lucky I was to have her…All the time I spent struggling for her was worth it…everything was.
When Caitlyn came back, with one backpack and her keyboard only, I noticed Tess looking at us from a distance.-That made me raise an eyebrow in suspicion.
"Tess alert." Caitlyn said.-Her expression was very suspicious as well. I wondered what Tess Tyler was so curious about, and that made me flinch. Could she suspect about me and Caitlyn? Before I knew it, she had walked towards our cabin.
"Hey." She said.-a motionless expression on her face. Me and Caitlyn exchanged glances and then looked at her.
"What are you doing here, Tess?" I asked, nervous. She looked at me, and then at Caitlyn, who had placed her stuff on the porch's wooden floor crossed her arms across her chest.
"You guys are together, right?" she asked, going right to the point.-My eyes widened and Caitlyn's jaw fell.-Silence took over for a minute and Tess stared at us without showing any sign of impatience, waiting for an answer.
"Well, are you?" she asked once more. "You can't deny it, I saw you kissing earlier."
Caitlyn instantly went into defensive mode.
"So what if we are?!" she glared at her. "It's none of your business."
"Hey, calm down." Tess said. "I'm not that evil bitch from last year anymore, if that's what you think." Caitlyn raised an eyebrow.
"Don't tell anyone." I said, serious.
"I won't." she said. Caitlyn didn't stop glaring at her-like she didn't believe her.
"How will I know if you're not lying?" she asked, stepping forward to face the blonde.
"You have my word." She said. "Believe me, I've changed." I studied her expression for a moment.-Me and Caitlyn exchanged glances once more, and then sent her a smile. She instantly smiled back.
Well, people could change, after all…
…
A few minutes later, all of Caitlyn's stuff was placed on its rightful place.
"Feels good to be back." She said in a playful sigh before throwing herself on her bed.-I sat on mine, simply staring at her.
"Do you have anything planned for Final Jam?" the question came out of nowhere. She looked up at me.
"Not really…" she said.-I noticed she was a bit ashamed.
"Seriously?" I said, as I suddenly decided to tease her. "Caitlyn Gellar…not prepared for Final Jam? What could be more important than that?"
"You." She instantly said, blushing. I instantly sent her a warm smile. "I was thinking about how to make it up to you…all this time."
"You're too sweet, you know." I stated, grinning at her.
"Oh, you wanna see my 'not sweet' side?" she asked, smirking teasingly.
"Maybe, yes." I said. Before I knew it, pair of soft hands were cupping my cheeks and I had been pushed down on my bed with her on top of me.
"This is it?" I asked teasingly. "I though you could do better than that"
"Oh, I'm just getting started." She said before capturing my lips with her own. The kiss started soft and passionate, but Caitlyn soon managed to deepen it by licking my lips for entrance, which I instantly allowed. At a certain point, low moans started escaping her mouth against my lips. And that made me loose all self control I had left.
My hands slipped under her shirt.-I could feel her stomach's soft skin.-She parted the kiss, grinning; and proceeded to kiss my neck.
Suddenly, we heard the loud noise of the cabin's door bursting opened, followed by a shocked "Oh, my God…!"- Caitlyn instantly jumped off of me, landing on the floor by the bed, as my eyes widened.
"Shit." She groaned, rubbing the back of her head with a painful expression. I glanced at her, then at the door.-And I instantly gasped in fear.
"Mitchie?!" I heard that too familiar voice tone, full of shock. - I shuddered and Caitlyn's eyes got wide as she got up from the floor.
"Mrs. Torres…?!"
"Mom…"
-x-
Uh-oh…that is definitely not good! Now Mitchie and Caitlyn have a lot of explanation to do…hmmm, I wonder what will happen…
