Thanks for reviewing and adding my story to your story alerts! I wrote this awhile ago but my computer died and I couldn't find the charger so I couldn't upload the document. Please review!!!!

Mitchie and I were talking about how this was better detention. This way we missed class. Larrytate came up to us and motioned for us to stand. We stood.

"Ladies, you will be showing these boys around for the next 45 minutes." he said and the 3 boys turned to look at us and Mitchie and I found ourselves face to face with the Connect 3.

Chapter 2: Thunderstorms

"And those were my two favorite memories!" I finished.

I was lying on Nate's bed with Mitchie and Nate while Shane sat on a bean bag chair not too far away. We were sharing our top 2 memories that we could remember. My favorites were being reunited with Mitchie and meeting Shane, Nate, and Jason two years ago. I was a freshman and now I am a junior. Mitchie's favorite memories were the same as mine.

"OK. My top 2 memories are meeting Mitch and Lexi and, uuuuuum. When we got our record deal." Shane said and I smiled.

Today was Friday and our movie night. Every Friday, Mitch and I went to the Gray house and slept over.

"My top 2 memories are getting our record deal and, at tie for 2nd, meeting Ally and Mitchie and meeting Miley." he said and sighed dreamily.

I was hurt, and not only because I had a crush on Nate. He just compared Mitchie and I, best friends of 2 years, to his crush of 3 months. I sighed and excused myself to the bathroom. I saw worried looks on Mitchie and Shane's faces. They knew about my little crush on Nate. I assured them I was okay with my eyes. I went into the bathroom and came back. I sighed as I came back in because I was still hurt and I could tell Mitchie was too. I didn't want to sit by him anymore but I couldn't do this subtly so I walked into the room reluctantly.

"Lexi! Come and sit with me. I'm lonely!" Shane said and winked at me. I smiled brightly and I saw that Mitchie had a relieved look in her eyes.

Mitchie and I may be the rude and obnoxious, but Mitchie wasn't afraid to let out her emotions. I kept mine bottled up and she is afraid I'm going to crack one day.

I plopped into Shane's lap and whispered a thanks.

"But Ally!!!" Nate whined.

"I prefer Shane." I said with a smirk which caused Nate to pout.

The rest of the night went on as usual. We laughed and told stories. I wasn't hurt by Nate's words anymore. When it was time for bed, Mitchie and I made our way to our room. It used to be a guest room but we come over so often, Ms. Gray said that it was officially ours. Mitchie and I went to sleep.

I was awoken by thunder and I whimpered. I was afraid of thunderstorms and so was Mitchie. I glanced at her just as she looked at me.

"I'll go to Shane, you go to Nate!" she whispered and we both ran down the hall to get to the boys' rooms. I opened Nate's door and he was sitting up with his arms open. His hair was disheveled, so he had just woken up to the storm and expected me to come to him. I dove into his arms and he pulled me under the covers with him. I whimpered in his chest when another loud BOOM was made from the thunder.

"Sssh. Sssh. It's OK. I got you." he muttered into my hair and he tightened his grip on me. I soon fell asleep in his arms.

After that weekend, we went back to school and I began collecting the materials I would need for my next class. Before I could close my locker, Nate bounded up to me with a huge grin on his face.

"She said yes!" he finally spoke.

"What? Who? What are we talking about?" I asked him.

"Miley! She said yes! We're going on a date Friday!" he said louder with a bigger grin on his face.

"You're kidding me right?" I asked, my voice clearly radiated anger.

"Wait. Aren't you happy for me?" he asked, dumbfounded.

"It's already starting Nate. It's already starting." I said and walked away.

I knew as soon as some girl waltzed into the picture, Nate would start to change. It's already started. Never had Nate forgotten movie night. NEVER! I know I'm probably overreacting and that he would probably remember within the next 15 minutes, but I couldn't help it. That may have to do with the fact that I like Nate and, well he just doesn't see me that way. I pushed through the people in my way and plopped into my seat in the back of the classroom in Spanish. Mitchie sat next to me about 3 minutes later.

"Nate told me what happened. You OK." she asked.

"Yup. I know I overreacted. Curse being a hormonal teenage girl." I said and she chuckled. We both then began NOT listening to the teacher. What's amazing is that, she doesn't listen and yet she never gets a C- or lower. I on the other hand am lucky to get a C at all.

Lunch came all too soon and when I walked through the door, Nate was staring at the entrance and his eyes brightened when he saw me. I walked over and sat down. I could feel his eyes on me. I sighed and looked up at him.

"Allie. Are you mad at me?" he asked, worried.

"Nope. I overreacted." I said and got up to get my lunch. When I returned, Nate looked confused.

"Why did you get mad in the first place?" he asked. I rolled my eyes. Of course he STILL didn't remember.

"Oh, you have a date Friday right?" I asked. He nodded. "That you wouldn't miss for anything." he nodded. "Even our movie night?" his eyes widened

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!"

"It's OK Nate. I'm over it. There's a first time for everything. This will be the first time we have a movie night without you." I said calmer than I felt.

"No! I'll be there. I promise you!" he said and I slightly smiled.

Before I knew it, it was time for movie night and Nate was nowhere to be found. We started the movie after I begged and pleaded. Today was my day to choose the movie and we were watching WolfMan. About 30 minutes into the movie, Nate crept through the door. I smiled but my smile faded when Miley followed.
