Mitchie's POV
I woke up this morning, feeling different but a good different. Maybe it was Alex's text last night. How does she do this to me? After a day! She makes me feel so shy but I feel like at times confident but that will never show. Anyway, time to get dressed for school. Ugh, I hope Miley and Tawni leave me alone today. At least I'll see Alex.
"Mitchie, time to go!" I hear mom shout. Sighing as I look in the mirror at myself I look like nothing compared to Alex but she makes me feel a lot better about myself. "Mitchie! Hurry up!"
"Okay. I'm here." I say as I run down the stairs. We walk out and to the car, heading to school.
As we get to school, I say bye to mom and go to my locker. As I'm opening my locker I feel butterflies in my stomach as I realise I'll see Alex today. I jump as I feel a pair of arms wrap around me.
"Hey Stutter." I hear the sweet sound of Alex's voice ring close to my ears and I feel a blush appear on my face.
"H...Hi" I choke out, while a shy smile appears on my face.
"Since you're an amazing person, I haven't got my locker yet. Could I use yours? Please," She finishes, still with her arms wrapped around me. I really don't trust my voice so I just nod. Alex decides to continue. "You're great Mitch."
The next thing that happened I did not expect, just Alex was putting her books away, she decided it'd be a good time to make my even more shy as she kissed my cheek. Thankfully the bell went for homeroom.
"I'll see you soon." She said with a wave and smirk.
"Y-yeah by... Bye."
As I start walking to my homeroom, Miley and Tawni decide to make an appearance.
"Well, well, well. Look what got dragged in today. Oh yeah that." Tawni says while pointing at me and laughing at her incredibly bad joke with Miley.
"So, was that your girlfriend Mitchie? Huh? No? Let's see how much she cares about you anyway." At this point they both giggled and my vision went black. And I was being dragged off somewhere. I've learned not to fight against them, because it usually involves in being hit. I know it sucks and I should stand up for myself but I just don't have any confidence.
"Let's see if she finds you now." I hear Tawni laugh with Miley as they pull the blindfold off me and walk out. Oh great I'm in another closet and I'm tied up. Again.
I decide to try and get my phone out my pocket. As I can either get my mom or Alex here.
After oh I dunno about a million tries, okay I exaggerated a bit there, but I just couldn't get my phone out my pocket. Movies make that look so much easier.
I just sigh and give up, sometime today somebody will find me right? I mean I can't do anything, because I'm tied up and yet again forced to sit in a bucket.
Alex's POV
After homeroom it was English and I was looking forward to it. I know right Alex Russo looking forward to a subject that isn't art.
I moved one seat to the right, having your homeroom teacher as your English teacher has it's bonus when the class is right after homeroom. Less walking for me. I hate exercise.
"Alex, before everyone comes in can you go run an errand for me?" I hear Sonny, no Miss Munroe ask me. Come on Alex, we're in school.
"Sure" I tell her as I get up and walk towards her desk, which is an organised mess.
"Okay so take this to the front office for me please, just tell them it's from my room." She informs me with a smile. I nod and walk out.
I begin my walk to the office, and I now realise I wish I had my IPod with me today.
As I walk down the stairs and I swing a left, I hear a very faint tune. Like someone's singing. As I get closer to the noise, I recognise the voice and a smile comes across my face. Maybe I do like Mitchie in more than a friend way.
As I near the door I make the words out a lot clearer.
"I don't wanna be afraid
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways
So you see,
I just wanna believe in me
The mirror can lie
Doesn't show you what's on the inside
And it, it can tell you you're full of life
It's amazing what you can hide
Just by putting on a smile."
As Mitchie finishes that line, I decide I should help her out.
As I open the door I decide I'll be nice and tease.
"So Stutter, I didn't know the game was follow the beautiful singing voice." I say with a smirk as I lean against the door frame.
"Uh... N-no it-its n... Not. B-but th-thanks for well f-finding m...me." She finishes with her trademark stutter, blush and shyness. Never going to get bored of that.
"Well instead of your hero saving you from a mighty fire breathing Tawni beast with a second head named Miley. You're going to have to settle for Alex Russo, a lazy, sarcastic and underachieving ordinary girl. That okay for you Stutter?" I ask her while trying not to smirk even more at her blushing face.
"Ye-yeah, it is. Can y... You please h-help m...me?" She asks while struggling to get up. Instead of replying I just walk towards her and untie her feet and then go to her hands. As I walk back in front of her I offer her my hand. She takes it and I pull her up, maybe slightly too much cause now I've fallen over and she's on top of me. Wow. Something tells me I like Mitchie.
"S-sorry!" She jumps up and turns around. No doubt she's blushing.
"It's okay. Can you come with me to the office; your mom wanted me to run an errand for her?" I ask her. She simply nods and begins to walk towards the office.
When we get there I hand in the envelope and tell them it's from Miss Munroe's room.
On the walk back to Miss Munroe's I had an urge just to hold Mitchie's hand but I didn't want to freak her out or make her any more shy. When we get to Miss Munroe's door I decide to knock, which makes me receive an odd look from Mitchie. I decide to stand in front of her, so Miss Munroe won't see her.
"Alex what took you so long?" She asks quietly with concern in her voice.
"Well I kind of did two errands for you." As I say this I move to the side so she sees Mitchie.
"Where have you been?" She asks, well whisper-shouts at Mitchie. But I answer for her.
"I found her, well heard her. She was well let's say it was the same as yesterday." I tell her sadly.
"How did you find her though?" She asks.
"Uh, I kind of heard her singing an amazing song." I say while looking at Mitchie, making her duck her head slightly. Why is it basically everything she does makes me smile?
"Right well go in and take your seats."
We do this and Miss Munroe tells the class that she'd be back soon.
"So your little girlfriend found you. Well it's not like you can miss your ugliness," I hear Tawni say to Mitchie. I'm not usually a violent person, but that was too far. As I stood up she turns her attention to me. "You know you really shoul-"
I cut her off, by grabbing her and throwing her over her desk. I walk round and as she tries to get up, I just throw a right hook at her, knocking her back down. As I do this Miss Munroe walks back in the class.
"Alex Russo! Why are you punching Tawni?" Miss Munroe shouts at me. I look up and begin to walk out the class, just as I reach the door. I turn around and look at her.
"Why don't you ask Tawni what she was saying to Mitchie, then why I was punching her? In that order too." I just leave with that. But oddly I don't leave school; I walk to the spot where I had lunch with Mitchie yesterday.
I sigh and lay down looking at the sky. There are no clouds in the sky, just clear blue skies. I like the sky like that. It's like the sky has nothing to hide. There are no clouds to cover anything up. I decide to try something new, I decide on writing a song. I grab a pen and notebook. And I just look ahead over the small river. I decide I'll just write a chorus, since that's all the time I'll have left before break and I need to see Mitchie.
Who says?
Who says you're not perfect?
Who says you're not worth it?
Who says you're the only one that's hurting?
Trust me that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty?
Who says you're not beautiful?
Who says?
After I finish writing that, I hear he bell go. I pack up my things and walk back into school. As I walk in I hear a voice I'm beginning to love when I hear.
"Alex! Are-Are you okay? Wh... Why did you hit Tawni when sh-she said th... That?" I hear Mitchie's rushed, stuttering voice.
"Because you don't deserve anything like that. Mitch you're amazing and beautiful and talented. Nobody should say anything that makes you feel less than that." After I finish that, what happens next I can't even respond to.
Mitchie just looks at me, next thing I know is her hands are on the sides of my face and she's pulled me in for a short, sweet kiss. But before I even get the chance to respond, she's pulled away and yep you've guessed it looking down and blushing. I slightly chuckle at this.
"Mitch? That was bold." I say this as I put my thumb and index finger at her chin and tilt it up so she's looking at me. As I do this, I lean down and give her one more kiss.
"Th-thanks... For in a-a way defending me." She blushes as she says this, making me giggle at her.
"Well I did say you'd have to settle for me, to battle the mighty fire breathing Tawni beast with a second head named Miley." At this she begins to laugh and it's finally not a giggle or anything. It's a proper laugh. Music to my ears.
I have a feeling the rest of school with be good, as I take Mitchie's hand a lace our fingers together.
"Come on Stutter, I need my stuff for the rest of the day." I say, keeping her nickname, which always makes her blush. I know at this point I am falling for Mitchie Torres.
Okay so bonus points if you know the songs in this. No I don't own them, if I did I'd be a happy bunny. I really like writing this chapter. I know a lot of it is in Alex's POV it was kinda needed. But please REVIEW and tell me any ideas you have.
Thanks
