Chapter 1

"You got a sec I wanna run something by you?" asks Shane

Mitchie looks towards the kitchen. "Sure," she smiles

Everytime I think I'm closer to the heart
Of what it means to know just who I am
I think I've finally found a better place to start
But no one ever seems to understand

I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be, your not that far

You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

Oh yeah
Yeah yeah

You're the remedy I'm searching hard to find
To fix the puzzle that I see inside
Painting all my dreams the color of your smile
When I find you I'll be alright
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be, your not that far

You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

Been feeling lost, can't find the words to say
Spending all my time stuck in yesterday
Where you are is where I want to be
Oh next to you... and you next to me
Oh I need to find you... yeah

You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you (yeah)
You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you (I need to find you)
I gotta find you (I gotta find you)
You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

Yeah, yeah... I gotta find you

"I heard this girl singing and it kinda reminded me of the music I loved. So I started playing around with some chords. I know it's not finished yet but" he trailed off

"No it's really good" smiles Mitchie

Shane stares at her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" asks Mitchie

"I don't know you seem different," he whispers "Good different" he amends

"Yeah that's me defiantly different," says Mitchie with a small smile.

"What's the matter?" asks Shane

"What have you heard about me?" asks Mitchie

"I've heard kids whispering that your mum is president of hot tunes china I don't know if it is true or not though," says Shane

Mitchie drops her head. "It's not true," she whispers

"Then why are they saying it?" asks Shane

"Because I said that is what she does I was intimidated by Tess," whispers Mitchie

"So you lied to everyone?" asks Shane

Mitchie nods.

"Why?" asks Shane

"You're not mad?" asks Micthie

"No we hardly know each other but we have spent a lot of time together and I never questioned it I think you have a reason to of lied though," says Shane

"I'm not ashamed of what my mum does she a cook. She's cooking here this summer. I have one friend at school and we have a dream to be popular and I could see when I got here I wasn't going to fit in and I got intimidated by Tess so I lied but no I can see being popular isn't all it's cracked up to be and I'd rather be invisible," explains Mitchie

"Tess is scary and I can see where your coming from," says Shane

"So you're not mad?" asks Mitchie

"I'm not mad," replies Shane

"So now the question is what to do about everyone else?" asks Mitchie

"Tell them," says Shane

"They will hate me," whispers Mitchie

"Is there anyone you want to know who you wouldn't want to hate you?" asks Shane

"Caitlyn," says Mitchie
"I know her Caitlyn Gellar Nate has a huge crush on her," says Shane

"I think Caitlyn might like him but I can't be sure," says Mitchie

"You can use that information to make her less mad," says Shane

"Well she's on kitchen duty for starting a food fight that Tess started," explains Mitchie
"So how about I carry your chips and walk you there?" asks Shane

"I'd like that," says Mitchie

The two walk to the kitchen laughing and chatting and upon arrival at the kitchen get ready to say goodbye.

"So you up for a canoe ride later?" asks Shane

"I wouldn't miss it," smiles Mitchie

Shane starts to walk away and Mitchie starts to open the kitchen door.

"Wait," calls Shane

Mitchie turns back.

"Can I help in the kitchen?" asks Shane

"Mr Popstar wants to get his hands dirty?" asks Mitchie

"Yeah," says Shane

"Come on in then," says Mitchie

They enter the kitchen, Mitchie spots her mum but no Caitlyn.

"Mum I got an extra helper," calls Mitchie

Connie looks up from putting salsa into bowls.

"Aren't you that boy from that band?" asks Connie

"Yes ma'am," says Shane

"Mitchie has posters all over her room," says Connie

"MUM!" exclaims Mitchie

"Really?" asks Shane

"Right you two are putting chips into bowls," says Connie

"I'll go get them," says Mitchie grabbing a kitchen coat on her way.

Mitchie comes back out of the store cupboard with a bag of chips and a kitchen coat slung over her arm.

"There you are popstar," she says flinging the coat to Shane which lands on her head.

Caitlyn comes in and Mitchie bends down over the bowls,

"Thanks for coming in early Caitlyn taco night takes everyone plus are four hands," says Connie

"Four?" asks Caitlyn

"My daughter and she just brought Shane with her," says Connie pointing to Mitchie over the bowls and Shane struggling with the coat. "Right I have to go talk to Brown about next weeks Camp Fire Pig Out," says Connie leaving the kitchen.

Forgetting Caitlyn in there Mitchie looks up to see if Shane as got his coat on yet and bursts out laughing when she sees he is still struggling to put in on.

"Need some help popstar?" she giggles

Shane nods "And for the record it's rockstar,"

Mitchie helps him into his coat.

"Mitchie!" exclaims Caitlyn

"Yes my mum is a cook not president of Hot tunes China. Tess intimidated me and I only have one friend at home we're classed as losers we've always wanted to be popular but I see now that popularity is overrated," says Mitchie
"Your right Tess is intimidating and I understand why you lied," says Caitlyn

Mitchie doesn't say anything and goes back to putting chips into bowls.

"She wants to know if you're mad" says Shane going to put chips into bowls.

"How do you know that?" asks Caitlyn starting on the onions.

"She asked me it," says Shane

Mitchie looks up at Caitlyn.

"I'm not mad I did it once I was friends with Tess one day she asked if I was any good I told her I had I could sing but not that well but she found out I could and that was the end of being friends," says Caitlyn

"You're where friends with Tess?" asks Mitchie in disbelief.

"Had to believe I know," says Caitlyn

There silence for a minute a Shane and Mitchie but chips into bowls and Caitlyn slices onions.

"If I was mad what would you have done?" asks Caitlyn

"Told you Nate has a crush on you," says Mitchie

"Nate has a crush on me?" asks Caitlyn

Shane nods.

"Are you going to talk to him?" asks Mitchie

"Tell him what?" asks Caitlyn

"Oh come in it totally obvious to everyone you have a crush on him!" exclaims Mitchie

"It is?" asks Caitlyn horrified

"Everyone but Nate," clarifies Shane

By the time Connie comes back the food is ready and in the food hall. Shane, Caitlyn and Micthie are chatting and laughing as they tidy up. Unaware of what will happen in the two weeks to follow. (As is the writer but hey I have ideas)
