1. Beginning

Mitchie's pov:

The one thing that annoys me to my core is egoistical boys. You know the type, every high school would be lost without them. They expect because they are the jocks and populars of the school that each girls knees should buckle, the covers of your books have their names in hearts. They are just full of it. But in the past few months I have learnt that it is possible to teach an old dog new tricks, but I learnt this the hard away. My story begins in this lovely place I call my high school. And if you didn't pick it up I was being sarcastic about my school being lovely!

"Mitchie!" Caitlyn yelled running up the hallway to meet me. Caitlyn Gellar ,my best friend of sixteen nearly seventeen years. We live next door to one another since we were born. I smiled at her. I noticed she was holding a flyer. She reached me, "There's a dance on Friday!" I couldn't help but laugh at her excitement. We walked toward our lockers. They also happened to be right next to one another. "Yeah I heard about that," "SO what are we going to wear?" she asked opening her locker. "Well I don't plan on going" I said opening my locker. She turned to me with an open mouth as if she was going to speak but no words came out. "What? Do I have a zit or something?" I asked. Then I realized it was over my shoulder she was gaping at. I didn't bother to turn to see what it was because I soon heard a voice growing nearer "Hey good looking!" that soon followed by giggling from girls. I turned back to my locker. There was no need to look to see who it was. It was so obvious from that lame pick up line. It was Shane Gray. Each high school would be lost without one of these guys. He's the typical basketball captain heartthrob of the school. He thinks that every girl loves him. He also believes that all the girls buy his chat up lines. I know one girl who wouldn't buy them! I can't stand him! I turned back to Caitlyn who's jaw was practically on the floor. I rolled my eyes and closed her mouth.

"Geez Cait, drop your jaw any lower it might actually touch the floor!" I clicked my fingers and she snapped out of her trance. "Whoa sorry!" I rolled my eyes and looked at my timetable for the next class. I heard a bang on the lockers. "So Mitch, pick you up at six on Friday for the dance," he said smirking. He put his hand behind his back receiving a high five from his clones. I put on my best flirty voice, "So Shane," I began. He looked up from the floor his smirk growing bigger and bigger. I changed my voice. "How about on Friday at half five you pick up a brain for yourself" I said fake smiling whilst closing my locker. I walked away hearing him say "She so wants me" to his possy. "Ha! Only in dreams Shane Gray" I said back. He's possy began to laugh at him.

School took forever to end. I was the last one to leave English class. I was waking out humming my new favourite song, "Seventeen Forever" by Metro Station. I was almost at my locker, I turned the corner that lead to the hall where my locker was when someone grabbed me and pulled me into a room. Who knew Shane Gray stays in school a bit later.

"Do you mind?!"

"Not at all" he said smirking once again. That was getting really annoying.

"It was a rhetorical question, dumbass."

"So, why won't you go to the dance with me?" yeah change the subject why don't you. I noticed he still had his hand on my arm. I pushed it off.

"I have my reasons" I said and with that I left.

I dropped my books off in my locker and picked up the ones I had homework in. I went to the library then as I did every other day. This was safe zone from people who I don't want to see, for example Shane Gray. In here I had quietness and privacy and I was always able to get my homework done. About half an hour I looked around to see a deserted library. A few minutes later I got a tap on the shoulder. Apparently the library was getting some new book selves in so everyone had to leave early.

I was walking home I turned onto my street when I heard footsteps running behind me. Please God don't be someone I don't want to speak with. The next thing I knew someone jumped up on my back. I breathed phew it wasn't Shane it was Caitlyn.

"How come you're only coming home now? Usually you're at the library for another while."

"Well hi to you too," I joked. I was now giving her a piggyback. "Well they're getting new book selves in and wanted everyone to go so they wouldn't interrupt anyone's study. How come you're jogging today its Monday? You never jog Mondays"

"I missed Saturdays jog have to make up for it."

"Yeah Cait like me giving you a piggyback is making up for it."

"Shhh. I'm tired and have I ever told you, you are THE bestest friend in the world"

"Fine," I could sense she was smiling.

"So movie night tonight, whose house?"

"My turn, which means your choice in movie."

We reached our house when we heard a laugh that can't be forgotten. It was the laugh of the wicked witch of West High, the irony of that. Both I and Caitlyn turned to see Tess Tyler at the door of Shane Gray's house. Oh did I forget to mention he lives right across the road from me. Not only do I have to see him in school I must see him every morning afternoon and night. The joy of my life... sarcastic!! I saw Shane look over at us and give us a smile. I shook my head and hugged my best friend.

"See you at six, remember pjs only!" I laughed." I won't forget" she said walking over to her house.

I went inside and brought my bag up to my room. I finished my homework in my room. I looked at the time. It was half five. I decided to get into my pjs. I put my cute baby blue ones on with a matching strappy top. I went down stairs to get a snack before Caitlyn got here. There was a knock on the front door. Both my parents were at work until eight o'clock and I definitely knew it wasn't Caitlyn. My parents decided to get a spare key cut for our back door just for Caitlyn because she was here so much.

I walked to the front door. Through the glass I saw a blue and white jacket. Our school colours with only means one thing. Whatever hope I had of it maybe being the pizza guy with a pizza I never ordered is gone out the window.
