This was the moment, the moment that I've been waiting for since last summer. It had been the perfect date; a quiet dinner by the lake, he played me his newest song, and now we were in the canoe. The sun was beginning to set and he looked even more beautiful in this light. His eyes were glistening and his face had a warm glow. He slowly made his way over to me and put his hands on both sides of my face. He leaned down and I met him half way as he gently pressed his soft lips against mine. It was perfect.
I suddenly heard something beeping. It was getting louder, louder, LOUDER. Beep. Beep. Beep. My eyes shot open and I slammed my hand on my alarm's snooze button. Ugh. It had been just another dream.
I lay in bed just thinking about Shane and that dream. I've had multiple dreams about how it would be when we reunited, but this was the first time we had actually kissed. And I couldn't get it out of my mind.
I met Shane last summer at Camp Rock and we instantly became great friends, but nothing more. He was the only one I showed my songs to, and he knew everything about me. We kept in touch and visited with each other about once a month. When he came to visit for my birthday, we had actually kissed, but decided it would be easier to just stay friends. Considering he is a pop star, he's always touring, and he has swarms of teenage girls chasing after him. But what Shane didn't know, was that I wanted to be so much more than just friends. I want him to hold me in his strong arms, tell me that he's crazy about me, and kiss me passionately. And I was convinced that I would tell him how I truly felt when I go back to Camp Rock tomorrow.
No one at school knew that I was friends with Shane Gray, and that's the way I wanted it to be. If they all knew, my life would be so much more complicated and I like to keep things simple.
Remembering I had school, I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom, turning on the shower. I brushed my teeth and washed my face as I waited for it to warm up. All I could think about was the anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach. Once out of the shower, I opened my closet and looked at my variety of choices. Hmm. I'll go with dark jeans, a white tee, and black flip flops.
The clock read 7:25 which meant I was running late, again. I ran down the stairs and through the kitchen, giving my mom a quick kiss goodbye and grabbing a piece of toast.
On the way to school, my phone started ringing. Shane was calling and I quickly answered.
"Hello!" I said out of breathe.
"Hey Mitchie. Are you okay? You sound exhausted." His voice made my heart beat a little bit faster.
"Aha yea, yea. I'm a lot better now since I'm talking to you." I replied, my voice completely flirtatious.
"Oh well, thanks… Umm, so I just wanted to hear your plans for when you're arriving to the camp. I miss you like crazy Mitchie."
He misses me. He really misses me.
"Mitchie? You still there?"
I came back to reality and told him about all my plans. "Well, after school I'm going shopping for a few things and I'll start packing tonight. We leave tomorrow morning and you'll finally get to see me tomorrow night. I know, I know, you can't wait to see my face." Harmless flirting is all I was doing. I'll have to step it up so he'll figure out that I'm head over heels for him.
"You know it Mitch. I can't wait to see you; I have so much to fill you in on. But I guess I should let you go. You only have five minutes to get to class."
As he said that, I turned the corner and the big high school came into view. I couldn't help but frown.
"Yea, you're right. I gotta go Shane. I'll see you tomorrow sweetie!" I waited to hear his reply to the sweetie part.
"I'll be waiting Mitch. Bye." And with that the line went dead. Nothing changed in his voice.
I made my way into the building and braced myself for the last day of the school year.
It seemed to drag on forever but the final bell rang at 2:30 and I rushed out the front door. I had told my mom that I was going shopping after school so that's where I went. I entered the mall and the smell from the food center filled my nose while the multiple conversations clogged my ears. I made my way around to at least 10 stores, making sure I bought several cute and flirty outfits that would definitely get me noticed by Shane.
I made my final purchases and decided to get something to eat from the Pretzel Stand that was close by. As I waited for my pretzels, I was watching the TV that was in the store across from the stand. E! News was on and Shane's face covered the screen, along with the words: "Shane's New Girlfriend, Model Emma Fierce!" My face went blank and I felt my knees begin to shake. I walked away completely forgetting about my food and ignoring the worker. "Miss! Miss! You forgot your pretzels!"
I cried the entire way home. Once there, I ran up to my room and collapsed on my bed. I was undoubtedly heart-broken and I felt completely betrayed.
Why hadn't he told me? I became enraged and picked up my phone to give him a piece of my mind. I dialed the number I knew by heart but ended the call before it started to ring. I knew that if I talked to him now, I'd say something I would surely regret.
My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a new IM. It was from my Caitlyn.
CaitlynLovesYou: Mitchieeee! (:
I'llPlayYourMusic: Cait! OMG… I miss you so much!
CaitlynLovesYou: Aww me too sweetie. So, I was watching E! News earlier…
I'llPlayYourMusic: Shane has a new girlfriend. I know. Caitlyn I feel like someone snatched my heart and stomped on it over and over and over…
CaitlynLovesYou: Oh Mitchie I was hoping you hadn't seen it. Did he tell you anything about it?
I'llPlayYourMusic: Nope. Not a word. All he told me was that he missed and couldn't wait to see me. I thought we could actually get together this summer… Guess not. ):
CaitlynLovesYou: Don't you dare say that! I will NOT let you give up on him… You two are perfect for each other; you see it but he obviously does not. Guys are idiots sometimes… LOL.
I'llPlayYourMusic: Hahaha. Definitely! But I guess you're right; we are kinda perfect for each other, right?

CaitlynLovesYou signed off at 8:43.
I finished packing up my clothes. Caitlyn made me feel so much better about the entire Shane sitch. I was extremely tired and went to bed by 12:30 a.m. I braced myself for what tomorrow would hold. I wonder if Emma will be joining Shane at camp.
A/N: So that's the first chapter. Review please and I'll love you forever (: I'll try to update ASAP. More review, more updates! Haha.
