Sing Your Heart Out – Chapter 15

Miley's P.O.V:

I sighed with relief as I finally sunk into the booth at Shakin It. After three hours of searching through every shoe store possible Taylor had finally found a cute pair of lilac silk ballet flats with a cream bow on them. So much for it being a quick errand, I thought ruefully.

"To make it up to you this is my treat. What do you want?" Taylor asked as she brought her purse out of her bag.

"Umm, a banana milkshake please." I replied

"Ooh an oreo milkshake please. And could we share a portion of curly fries or something? I'm starving." Mitchie said.

"Coming up." Taylor laughed as she skipped up to the counter and gave them our order.

"I think my legs are about to drop off Miles." Mitchie groaned and stretched them out, trying to relieve the pain.

"Tell me about it! It feels like I've run a marathon." I laughed as Taylor returned to the table slowly with the tray in her hand, carefully avoiding any obstacles.

"Here we go." Taylor announced as she placed the drinks on the table and Mitchie immediately grabbed a few fries.

"Who do you think your blind date could be then Mitchie?" I asked as I took a sip out of my drink.

"I'm really not sure. I mean it could be absolutely anyone at the school. I bet you they've just run around the whole of the campus looking for a boy that's my type. As long as it's not Jake I'm fine."

"What's so wrong with going with Jake though? You guys are like best friends. Maybe not how close me and Shane were but you're definitely good buddies." Taylor asked, confused as to what Mitchie's problem was.

"It's not that I don't like him – he's a great person and I really get on with him. But the problem is he likes me in a different way to how I like him and the more us two pair up on these dates with you four the more mixed signals he's going to receive. I just don't think it's fair on him to put him through that."

"Yeah I suppose, maybe when we do something a bit more casual he can come along and that way he won't take anything from it." I suggested and put my empty cup on the table and turned to watch Taylor who was making some very peculiar noises.

I giggled happily as Taylor sucked loudly on her straw trying to get to the last few sips of her strawberry milkshake.

"Do you always have to make such a noise when you do that? Everybody's staring at you." Mitchie laughed and looked around at the tables next to us.

Sure enough, people were giving Taylor some weird looks.

"They'll get over it. They're just jealous of our milkshakes obviously." She shrugged and placed her empty plastic cup next to ours.

"Of course Tay." I smiled my at friend's dismissal of people's obvious annoyance. Her and Shane are so similar it's unbelievable; they're so incredibly embarrassing when we're out in public with the two of them.

"Should we be getting back? It's nearly 3pm." Taylor said as she glanced at her watch quickly.

"Do you think we could get a taxi? I'll pay for it but seriously I don't think my feet could take anymore. We've been traipsing around looking for shoes since 11am." Mitchie insisted and searched through her phonebook for the number of our local taxi firm.

"I guess we could. It'll only be about £5 to nip us back to school. Someone can just run up to the room and get some money seeing as Taylor's spent all of hers and we didn't bring any." I laughed and Mitchie quickly rung the company.

We walked outside and sat on the steps by the entrance at the promise of an arrival in a few minutes. Sure enough, a bright yellow taxi pulled up next to us and the three of us clambered into the back.

"Hartbridge Boarding School please" Mitchie said.

I looked out the window as we started driving and spotted the beach where Nate had taken me the other night and the other beach where us girls had sat the other night. This place holds so many great memories for me now – who would have thought that Miley Stewart would now love Hartbridge and want to be here? What a change of heart from last year.

"Okay girls we're here. That's £4.50 please." The man called through to us as he came to a sudden stop, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Is it alright if I just run up and get the money please? I'll just be a few minutes." Mitchie asked.

"Yeah sure, go right ahead." The man smiled and got out of the car, leaning against the side and enjoying a rare few moments of the sunshine.

I stepped out of the car and held the door open for Taylor and we both lay down on the grass next to the taxi, Mitchie would only be a few seconds but it doesn't hurt to make the most of the heat.

"Excuse me but your friends been gone for more than a few minutes." The man walked to us looking quite concerned, not just for his money but also for Mitchie.

I looked at my phone and realised that she'd been gone for nearly ten minutes. "Oh, I'll go try and find her on my way to the room. I'll bring the money down if I can't find her." I said and ran to our building.

As I got to our room I saw Mitchie with her back to me talking to somebody.

"Mitchie, what are you doing? We've got to be at Nando's in just over an hour and the taxi's still waiting for the money." I called as rounded the corner to our room, seeing Mitchie deep in a conversation with her back turned to us.

As she turned around however I saw tears threatening to fall from her eyes and her cheeks red with anger.

Mitchie's P.O.V:

I quickly walked up to our room to get the money; we only have just under on hour and a half for the three of us to get ready for our dates tonight. I quickly skidded to a stop as I saw Chad sitting on the floor outside of my door and my heart started thudding heavily.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I managed to get out through gritted teeth and unlocked my door to get the money.

"Mitchie I really need to explain to you about last night. I didn't mean to upset you but surely you understand I had no choice." Chad explained, hovering in the doorway like a bee you just want to swat away.

"That's rubbish. You did have a choice but you chose the easy way out. And it was the wrong choice. So I think you should leave." I calmly stated as I rolled my eyes at his worthless apology and grabbed a £5 note out of my purse, shutting the door behind me and beginning to walk away.

Chad grabbed my arm tightly and spun me around to face him.

"Chad get off me, you're hurting me." I cried, tears forming in my eyes.

"Then let me make things okay."

"You can't just make things okay Chad. Last night proved to me that you're just like every other guy. You'll lie, you'll hurt people who care about you and you'll do anything just to fit in with the popular crowd. Well that's not somebody I want to be with. And no matter how many times you tell me you're sorry and you won't do it ever again and maybe you'll even tell Liam the truth I know you won't. So there's no point. You said the other night you never wanted anything to do with me again. And I'm saying it now – I don't want to see you ever again. Maybe you were lying but I'm telling the absolute truth." I shouted.

"Mitchie I'm begging you please, I promise I'll make it up to you. I'll do anything." Chad begged, still gripping onto my hand tightly. I winced as I thought of the red mark that it was going to leave.

I heard footsteps behind me and I closed my eyes, praying it was somebody who would help me.

"Mitchie, what are you doing? We've got to be at Nando's in just over an hour and the taxi's still waiting for the money." Miley's familiar voice called down the corridor, instantly comforting me and making me confident that it was going to be okay. Chad would listen to her.

I shook my hand out of his grasp, easily now that he was shocked and a little intimidated by her appearance and turned to face Miley. Her eyes filled with concern as she saw the unhappiness illustrated in my expression and then her eyes darkened with anger as she saw the cause of my tears.

"Chad! How dare you even have the never to show your face here after what you did." Miley growled and took my hand comfortingly.

"I just wanted to say sorry." He muttered miserably.

"Yeah? Well you've said it and Mitchie doesn't want to hear it. So leave quickly and I suggest you do it before any of the boys see you." Miley said coldly with a subtle threatening tone to warn him that if he didn't do it she would get them.

Chad looked at the two of us angrily and stormed off down the corridor and turned with a quick smirk, "This isn't over."

Miley pulled me into a fierce hug until I pulled away and gently.

"I'm fine Miles, just a bit angry." I whispered and smiled reassuringly at her. "We best take this money down to the man. I bet Taylor's going mental, especially if she sees Chad leaving."

I giggled at the thought of Taylor marching up to him and giving him a piece of her mind. He definitely wouldn't forget her words for a long time.

"I'll run the money down, you go inside and get ready. I'll go give the money to the man and fetch Taylor." Miley said.

"I don't think I'm going to go tonight Miles. Chad's completely put a dampener on my mood and I don't want to spoil your night."

"Don't be silly Mitchie. Tonight's just what you need to cheer yourself up and forget about Chad. Show him he's not worth your time and energy. Plus you can't let your mystery date down now." Miley insisted.

"I suppose it's worth a shot. But you only have yourself to blame if I have a miserable time and ruin it for you guys." I warned her, biting my lip anxiously.

Miley shook her head at my words and ran off in the direction she came from.

I sighed loudly as I walked into the bathroom and started the shower running so that it would nice and hot by the time I got in to truly relax. I locked the bathroom door and stepped into the shower letting the warm water running down my body, slowly loosening up my tense muscles and washing any dirt away. I carefully rubbed shampoo into my long hair and took great care to rinse it all out. I wrapped the towel around my frame and patted myself dry before stepping into my clothes for tonight and looking into the mirror. I smiled at my reflection; admittedly I do look really nice in the selected clothes.

By the time I got out the girls were both dressed in their clothes having already showered that morning and they grinned at me widely before firmly sitting me down at the dressing table.

"We are officially making you look absolutely gorgeous to make sure you're date cannot keep his eyes off you tonight." Taylor insisted and grabbed the hair straighteners, which were already ready to use. They'd obviously planned in detail what they were going to do while I was in the shower.

"Not that you don't always look beautiful because you do. We're just making you extra beautiful." Miley added quickly.

"Guys you really don't need to do this…" I began to protest.

"No arguments! Now sit still and enjoy." Taylor giggled as she began to curl my hair into loose tumbling curls.

Miley immediately got to work on my face applying a little touch of foundation and concealor before adding a bit of bronzer and thick coats of mascara. She then applied a thin line of grey eyeliner under my eyes and finished with a light pink lip-gloss.

"Ta da!" they both sung as they finally let me look in the mirror. Despite my protests I knew they would do a really good job.

"Thanks guys, it looks really nice." I complimented their work and grabbed my handbag and put my phone, key and money into it before being bustled out of the door to meet the boys.

I could feel the butterflies in my stomach as we walked down the stairs to the exit. My watch told me that we were five minutes late so the boys were bound to be waiting for us. Argh! My date's waiting right outside that door for me.

Miley pushed open the door and gave me a comforting smile. "Mitchie it's going to be absolutely fine. The boys won't have got you a bad match. And even if you don't get on you've still got us girls. Now you first."

I took a deep breath and nodded to everything that she was saying before bravely walking out of the door to see… Lucas.

I walked over to Nate and Shane hugging them both at the same time and muttering in their ears, "Do you know how much we argue?"

Nate quickly whispered back, "Well he seemed really happy to be your date so we just figured it was perfect."

"He probably wants to rub it in my face that I'm dateless and Chad broke my heart you idiots." I hissed.

Shane shook his head vigorously, "No he was really genuine. Just give him a chance, okay? He's a nice person deep down."

"Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you." I sighed as I smiled at Lucas and gave him a hug so as not to be rude. It was a nice friendly hug, which caught me off-guard, and the smile he gave in return was actually different to the usual smirk I receive off him on a daily basis.

The walk was fairly short to the restaurant which I was pretty relieved about because to say thing's were slightly awkward would be the understatement of the year. Miley quickly linked arms with Nate giggling and the two of them had walked off happily in a world of their own. Shane had immediately put his arm around Taylor but had lingered back with us to nosily observe any progress between us.

I glared at him pointedly and turned back to Lucas who was walking casually beside me, occasionally scuffing his feet and causing dust to fly with his hands in his pockets awkwardly.

"So… you watching the world cup much?" I asked, hoping to break the ice and break it quick.

"Yeah, whenever I've got time in between actually playing football and all this annoying school work." Lucas replied, finally talking about something he had a genuine interest in, "Are you watching it?"

"I'm trying to but it's hard to fit it around everything. Who's your favourite team?"

"Well of course I'm cheering for England, after all that's where we live. But as soon as they're out it's Brazil all the way for me. I'm not a fan of losing." He laughed and surprisingly I found myself laughing loudly with him, catching Shane's knowing smirk in the corner of my eye.

"Well that's just silly. Spain all the way for me and I actually have a good reason – my mum's from there." I replied and stuck my tongue out at him.

"Well that explains the dark skin." He laughed, looking down at my tanned legs causing me to blush slightly.

"Are you two finished flirting yet?" We're here." Nate smiled as he motioned towards the door he was holding open.

"We're not flirting dude." Lucas mumbled, clearly embarrassed and followed me over to the private table where Taylor, Miley and Shane were already sitting.

Yeah, of course this isn't a proper date, I thought to myself sarcastically as I sat in between Miley and Taylor where they had saved me a space. As I looked up I noticed that the boys had not so subtly placed Lucas opposite me. I smiled slightly at my friend's efforts to get me happy again. Shame it's not going to work.

"So, what's everybody having?" Shane asked happily.

"I don't know, maybe it's a good idea for us to actually look at the menu first." I replied sarcastically and grinned widely at him.

"Hurry up them, I'm starving Marvin." He groaned.

I quickly read through the menu before deciding on chicken breast fillet strips in mango and lime. Everybody else chose their meals and Shane swiftly hopped up and ran over to the counter to place the order.

"Wow, somebody overdosed on happy pills." I rolled my eyes and glanced pointedly in Shane's direction. The rest of the table laughed loudly as they saw him talking animatedly to the person serving him.

Shane skipped back over as soon as he had finished annoying the member of staff and sat back down. The conversation quickly changed to the school play and the talent contest. I groaned loudly at the mention of both of them.

"Whoa! What's your problem with them?" Lucas asked and everybody turned to me waiting for my answer.

Truthfully, one of the main reasons is Jake. It means spending more and more time with him especially as we've been paired together for the talent show.

"Umm…" I started, trying to think of a better excuse, "It's just going to take a lot of time and effort, I just wish we could relax a bit more this year before we start having to work towards exams."

"It's not about Jake is it?" Taylor asked, seeing right through my lie, "Surely he's not that bad."

I looked at Lucas and bit my lip, not wanting to say anything about it in front of anybody who might repeat what I say to anybody else and especially not Jake himself.

"Mitchie I promise I won't say anything to him if that's what you're worried about." Lucas promised, obviously noticing my worried glance in his direction.

"He is that bad Tay. If I'm friendly with him and I simply smile at him politely he'll beam back and start a huge conversation with me. He's way too keen. And if I try to avoid him to avoid disappointing him he get's all upset and like a wounded puppy. I can't deal with it." I explained, hoping not to sound like too much of a bitch.

"I get you. It's definitely off-putting when somebody you don't even like in that way is so eager. I've been there, done that and I don't plan on going back." Lucas said before anybody could even protest against my thoughts.

"So what did you do?" I asked, hoping that Lucas had the perfect solution.

"I was kind of an idiot to her. Ignored her, avoided her, was monosyllabic with her if I had to speak to her. Looking back I was way too harsh and I regret it but I was so desperate to get it through to her."

"Kind of?" Miley laughed, "More like absolutely."

"Well I wish I could bring myself to be like that with Jake. But he's way too nice of a person to deserve that and I class him as my friend. I'm going to have to cling to the hope that he finds a girl who feels the same and very soon."

At that moment the meals arrived and the waiter quickly placed our plates down, avoiding eye contact with Shane. Of course, it was the person who had taken the orders.

"Shane, what did you say to that poor man? He couldn't wait to get away from this table." Taylor giggled.

"Oh I was asking him if he ever picked up any girls working here. He seemed a bit embarrassed." Shane explained, earning a gentle slap from Taylor,

"Oh I didn't mean it like if he did I'd want a job like that. I was just trying to make conversation." He quickly added, earning laughs from Nate and Lucas.

"Glad to hear that or we would have had to hurt you." Miley teased.

I looked up to the door as I heard a loud noise, presumably a lot of people entering the restaurant. My eyes widened with disbelief as I saw Chad, Liam and a few of their friends following a waitress over to a table in our direction.

"Are you alright Mitchie? You look like you've just seen a ghost." Lucas asked worriedly as he took in my pale face and wide eyes.

"This can't just be a coincidence." I murmured softly and tears prickled in my eyes. Why does he have to be everywhere to rub it in my face?

Miley's eyes looked up to the direction I was facing and she grinded her teeth with anger. "I can't believe it. What the hell is wrong with him?"

"What's going on?" Nate asked, unaware of the people just about to walk past us.

"Chad's just turned up with Liam and a few other friends. He's just about to walk past us now." Miley muttered quietly.

Nate and Shane's heads snapped up from their meals and looked around at them, their eyes narrowing with suspicion.

"Did they know we were going to be here?" Shane asked with a confused but annoyed expression on his usually calm and friendly face.

Miley nodded miserably, "We caught a taxi back from the shopping centre earlier and Mitchie went up to the room to get the money. But she was taking ages and I ran up to see what was taking her so long and I shouted out to her that we had to get to here soon. Then she turned around and I saw Chad was with her. I'm so sorry Mitchie."

"Miles, it's not your fault Chad pulled this stunt. You can't be responsible for his behaviour."

"I know but it's my fault he even knew," she whined, "But I didn't think he was capable of being this malicious."

Nate grabbed her hands comfortingly, "Miley, don't be so hard on yourself."

"I'm not, but I'm not going to sit by and let Chad do this, especially not to my best friend." She stated angrily, tapping her fingers on the table thinking about what to do.

She quickly stood up, shoved her chair back under the table and stormed over to where Chad was now sitting laughing and joking like he hadn't done such a low thing. We watched with anticipation as Miley grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the restaurant, leaving both our tables in a deep state of shock and nervousness.

"Umm… does anybody want dessert?" Shane asked uneasily.

Nate shot him a withering look, obviously thinking about what was going on between Miley and Chad and opened his mouth to reply.

"Don't even think about arguing. That way Chad's won and we've let him get to us." I interrupted and looked down at my lap where my hands were knitted together tightly. I began to play with my thumbs nervously, unsure of how long Miley was going to be.

Miley's P.O.V

"What do you think you're playing at?" I shouted wildly at Chad as the door slammed shut behind us.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He replied coolly, shrugging his shoulders as if he didn't care less.

"Don't try and feed me that rubbish. I know you heard me say where we were going but why have you showed up? Are you making it a pattern of ruining every night out?"I demanded angrily.

"I was angry. I came over to your school today to apologise and you threw it back in my face. I didn't even do anything that bad."

"I cannot believe you Chad. You think that acting as if Mitchie's a piece of dirt that you don't even know to your mate just for the sake of popularity shouldn't make us angry?"

"I didn't say that, I just think that you're all completely over-reacting."

"Well you can carry on thinking that all you want but it won't change anything. You showed your true colours and you blew any chances you had with Mitchie." replied and headed back towards the entrance.

"Miley, you believe that I'm sorry right?" Chad asked softly, looking like a small infant who wasn't allowed any sweets.

"I don't know anymore Chad – you've changed. You used to be so sweet, kind and sensitive. But last night you were the complete opposite – you were rude, superficial and spiteful. Just... stay away from us."

"Whatever, don't even act like you're Miss perfect. We both know that's a complete lie. And I'm sure Nate and all your friends would love to know exactly what I know." Chad smirked, back to the evil boy who I'd caught a glimpse of last night.

I spun around and shot him a look of immense dislike, possibly even hate.

"It was a mistake Chad. Everybody messes up sometimes. Don't show your face near us anymore, I don't think Shane will be able to keep his temper under control much longer, especially not when it's his best friends you're messing with." I replied calmly and walked back into the restaurant, leaving him standing outside alone. How I wish I could just slap him and wipe that smirk right off his face.

Violence doesn't solve anything, I told myself sternly as I returned to the table and smiled at my friends.

"You okay?" Nate asked, standing up and wrapping his arm around me protectively. I leaned into him happily, taking comfort from his warmth.

"Yeah, everything's perfect now." I lied and forced a smile again.

He wouldn't really tell them after all, would he?

"We already got the receipt while you were outside. You ready to go to the cinema?" Shane asked, careful not to mention who I was outside with. Despite this, Mitchie still flinched at the reminder of what just happened.

"Actually, I'm not feeling too good; I think I'm just going to head back to the room." Mitchie said softly with a pleading look in eyes for us not to make her go.

"Yeah, okay Mitch. I hope you're feeling better soon. Shall we ring you a taxi?" Taylor asked kindly and squeezed Shane, warning him not to force her to do anything.

"There's no need, I'm going to walk back with her." Lucas interrupted Taylor pressing the number into her phone.

"No, that's not fair." Mitchie began to protest.

"Really, it's no trouble. I'm worn out anyway and I'm not too keen on the idea of sitting in a dark cinema room with these two sickly couples. You guys have a good night and we'll see you later." Lucas laughed.

Mitchie sent a shy smile to Shane and Nate as a goodbye and hugged both Taylor then me tightly and whispered "Thank you for what you did," in my ear.

Lucas smiled at all of us and quickly bumped fists with the two guys before catching up with Mitchie and linking arms with her. I watched Chad stare jealously at the two of them leaving together and I laughed happily at the thought that Mitchie had just got the best revenge she ever could.

"What are you laughing at?" Nate asked confusedly.

"Oh, I just Chad's face when he saw Mitchie and Lucas leaving together." I explained and glanced pointedly at Chad who was still looking incredibly grumpy.

"Good! The horrible boy deserves everything he get's." Taylor announced indignantly.

"I think we should really get going to the cinema." Shane suggested as he glanced at his watch.

"Do we really have to watch Letters to Juliet?" Nate groaned, looking at Taylor and me hopefully.

"Yes!" we chorused happily and giggled at our unison.

Shane mumbled a few indecipherable words under his breath as us girls skipped out of the restaurant happily with the boys trailing behind.

Lucas' P.O.V:

"You okay?" I asked Mitchie as we began to walk back to school, "You can tell me the truth you know – I won't say a word to anybody."

"You know you've really surprised me tonight Lucas. You always seemed like an egoistical idiot but you're really not." She replied, smiling slightly.

Wow, she has a really cute smile.

"Thanks I guess," I laughed nervously, "You've surprised me too you know. I thought you were a typical superficial teenage girl but you're different to other girls, you're down-to-earth and real."

"Wow now that's a revelation many people would like to hear. The one and only Lucas really isn't interested in all those plastic barbies constantly throwing themselves at him. He actually likes normal girls." Mitchie giggled.

"I think we should keep that a secret for now, it's hard to find a girl like that around here." I replied, zipping Mitchie's lips shut with my hand jokingly.

"Well I'm sure I can find you that girl. Surprisingly I know quite a few of those girls." Mitchie teased and pushed me gently.

A cold gust of air caused shivers to run down Mitchie's skin and she hugged herself tightly trying to keep herself warm.

"You're freezing," I observed and took off my jacket handing it to her, "Here you go."

"Wow, a gentleman too. I struck lucky tonight." Mitchie laughed and slipped into the jacket.

"You're not the only one." I whispered too quietly for her to hear.

"Perfect fit." Mitchie said as she zipped up the jacket and kicked a stone out of her way, causing the floodlights at the school gates to turn on, almost blinding us both.

"Wow, that hurt my eyes." I murmured and put my hand up, shielding my eyes.

"Drama queen." Mitchie remarked and laughed, skipping up to her building.

I found myself grinning widely at how completely free she looked, completely unafraid of being her true self, not caring what other people may think. Does she realise how perfect she is?

Dude, pull it together – you can't fall for this girl, I thought to myself as I ran to catch up with her.

Mitchie flopped down on the steps outside of her building and I sat down beside her. She smiled happily at me.

"Nice skipping." I smirked and she stuck her tongue out at me playfully.

"I know." She retorted.

"We have classes tomorrow." I said unhappily.

"I know." She said for the second time, "It's such a shame as well – I've had such a great weekend even if it did have its blips."

"You never did answer my question earlier you know. Are you okay?" I replied as I remembered it. Had she purposefully avoided the question, not knowing what to say or had she simply forgot?

"I was hoping you hadn't noticed that. But I think I am okay. Sure, it was horrible to see him walk in and it reminded me how he'd hurt me. But it just showed me once again that he's not a very nice reason and it's given me another motive to get over him. I'm just grateful that I realised how it was going to be before I got in even deeper." Mitchie replied softly.

"That's an amazing attitude to have." I muttered and smiled down at her, getting stuck in her deep brown eyes.

"Well what's the point in being negative? Anyway, poor broken-hearted girl isn't my style." Mitchie pointed out.

True, she's so fiery and independent. I couldn't see her all torn up over some guy – she's too strong.

"Well then I'll have to make sure no guy ever breaks your heart so you never have to play that part."

"I'd appreciate that." She giggled quietly and leaned against my arm, yawning tiredly.

"Maybe we should both head back to our rooms. You're tired." I said, wiping the dust from my hands and starting to get up.

"No, wait." Mitchie said and yanked me back down.

"What?" I laughed as I turned to her, catching my breath as I saw how closer our faces were.

She leaned in further, pressing her lips against mine softly before pulling back shyly.

"Now I'm ready to go inside." She smiled as I pressed my finger to my lips, unable to believe what just happened.

"S-sure." I stuttered.

Mitchie hugged me goodbye before smiling brightly and walking back inside, turning and waving as she closed the door behind her.

I grinned widely and started walking back to my room. Well that was a bit of a surprise. I was asked to go out tonight with Mitchie, Taylor, Miley, Shane and Nate to make Mitchie feel less awkward as a friend and we ended up leaving the others and sharing a kiss. It's safe to say I never expected that.Author's Note:
