Alex's POV
Safe to say P.E was interesting. I can't believe that happened to Mitchie! But what's confusing me more, is that when she fell into my arms, I liked it. I just wanted to hold her there and stare into her eyes. This is so confusing, this has all happened in one day.
"Miss Russo, the bell went. Class is over." I hear the teacher call out to me. I quickly stand up and mumble a thank you to her.
As I'm walking around the halls, I decide to put my IPod on and block out all my thoughts.
We were so young then
We were too crazy in love
When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold onto
And we'll be a dream
While the song continues, I feel someone gently grab my arm, bringing my attention away from the song and to the person. As I turn around and pull my headphones out I see Mitchie standing there, with a small smile on her face.
"H-hi." She's so cute when she stutters and gets nervous.
"Hey" I reply to her, with a smile only for her.
"Want to have lunch outside?" She asks with a hopeful tone in her voice that I can't say no to.
"I'd love to Mitchie."
We walk outside to a small hill, which looks over a small river. I had no idea that this was here.
"Where did you find this place Mitchie?" I wonder what caused her to find this place, it's still in school grounds but nobody is near it. That's why it's clean.
"Uhm... When Miley and Tawni upset me really bad, I just walked and I kinda just found this place." She tells me, while looking ahead. As she does a small breeze hits us, and it makes her hair flow out of her face, and it just makes her that much more beautiful. Okay I need to have serious talk with myself later.
"Wow, it's an amazing place Mitch," I say as I begin to eat my lunch. "So why don't you like performing your songs?" I ask cautiously, in case it's a touchy subject.
"I get really nervous, a-and I doubt anyone will like my music anyway." She replies with a sad smile. However I intend to make her feel better about herself.
"Mitchie I bet you're amazing, and you don't know that people won't like it unless you try. I'm not saying singing in front of the school or anything. But maybe like five people." I say with a smile, trying to comfort her, I think it worked since she smiled and nodded.
"I'll sing a little bit of a song for you now, since it's just you. And I-I trust you." She nervously says, while fiddling with her fingers and looking anywhere but me.
"I'd love you to do that." She slowly looks up at me, and smiles.
I just watch her, breath out nervously and look back down. What happened next, I was not expecting.
"This is real
This is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This me"
"Mitchie. You. Are. Amazing." I couldn't find any words. What do I say after hearing that?
"Th-thanks... Uhm... I think." That shy, stuttering reply that I pretty much love, is what she says after singing that.
"Hehe, you sing something amazing like that and you're shy? Mitch you have an incredible voice." I say while leaning forward to catch her gaze.
"Uh w-well nobody really says anything nice to me, unless it's my mom. But it's nice coming from you." Me? I wonder why.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why is it nice coming from me?" I ask genuinely interested. Since when did I Alex Russo become interested in people, I mean yeah Harper was my best friend, but I hardly listened then.
"Oh... Uh... Uhm cause you're well new, so it-it's a refreshing change, instead of just being bullied." She says kind of unsure of her own reply. But I won't press on it.
The bell signalling the end of lunch pulls me from my thoughts and I walk with Mitchie to her locker to get our stuff then to the last classes of the day. Today's looking good.
Mitchie's POV
Oh gosh. I sang in front of Alex and she liked it! I-I can't believe it. Only my mom has been that supportive. Well lunch has been the highlight of my day so far.
Wow. Should I sing another song or not? I'm still nervous about it though. What if she was only saying that to make me feel better? What would I do then?
"Miss Torres are you paying attention?" Our art teacher Mr Adams asks. I can hear Alex giggle behind me as he says that.
"Uh... Uhm, maybe?" That had to come out as more of a question than an answer. I hear Alex now giggling hysterically at this.
"Please pay attention next time." I nod at him so he gets the point. Even though I won't I just get lost in my thoughts a lot.
"Pshh, hey Mitch." I hear Alex's very bad attempt at a whisper.
"What?" I whisper back at her, with a smile on my face.
"Oooooh dude you got caught day dreaming. What about? Me?" I did I hear her right and oh god, she just winked too.
"Uh... n-n-no pssh, pssh what n...no." I finish lamely. Who am I kidding that was all lame.
"Whatever you say Mitch." She says while winking again. I can feel heat rising to my cheeks as I turn around. I can feel Alex's smirk on the back of my head. How does she do this to me? I know I'm shy and everything but nobody has this effect on me. Maybe my mom was right. Could I like Alex?
"Miss Torres, don't make me give you a detention!" Mr Adams shouts at me, which causes the blush to deepen and everyone's attention go to me.
"Sorry sir," I hear Alex giggling even more now, as I turn around to her. "Shut up." I finish with a smile to show I'm not angry. But she continues to giggle.
The bell goes, which means finally the final class, which is Maths.
"Hey Mitch, wait." Alex calls, while grabbing her stuff.
I turn around and she still has that smirk on her face. But we begin to walk to maths. I realise I might not be in the same class as Alex.
"Who's your teacher for maths?" I ask her voicing the realisation I had.
"Uh, Mr Thomas. Who do you have?" She asks me. Well at least the smirk is gone, but the butterflies are still there.
"Uh... Mi-Miss Sky." I stutter out. Why do I stutter so much around Alex? Mitchie you need to get it together. She is straight.
"Well I'll see you at the end of the day?" She hopefully asks, snapping me out of my thoughts again.
"Sure," She smiles at me and walks away, "Alex your class is that way." I tell her pointing down another corridor. She sheepishly turns around and smiles at me, silently thanking me. Finally it's my turn to giggle at her.
Maths went really well, I only got lost in my thoughts once and yeah they were about Alex. The girl never leaves my mind. It's like she's stalking my thoughts, but in a way I let her there. As I walk to my locker, the stalker of my thoughts is standing there, still unknown to me walking that way.
I sneak up behind her and cover her eyes with my hands, "Guess who?" I ask her.
"Uh, Miss St-Stutter." She giggles while turning around and taking my hands off her.
I fake gasp, "Don't make fun of my stutter. I don't want it to happen." I tell her while smiling and opening my locker.
"Well for your information I happen to like your stutter," She tells me, causing a blush and butterflies, which only increase as she wraps her arms around me to get her books, she continues with a smirk as she says, "see you later stutter."
I sigh and smile as I head to my mom's room. What am I gonna do with Alex? I don't want her to change and I've only known her for a day. I got so lost in my thoughts as I realise I'm standing in the doorway of my mom's room.
"Hey ready to go home now? Remember we're meeting the new neighbours next door." She tells me while grabbing her bag and books. I smile and nod as we make our way out of school. One of my many days here and my mom's first day at school, were safe to say very eventful.
Okay chapter 4 is up. I enjoyed writing this chapter a lot. So please review and tell me what you think, also I'll be happy if you can guess who the new neighbours are.
Thanks guys.
