As Mitchie packed her bags, she ran across her song book. She held it in the air and smiled at it. She was about to get back on her Mom's catering bus and leave all her dreams behind at CampRock. The sweet smell of the forrest air, the cool feeling of the water agianst your skin, the crowds of people listening to you and only you in your moment underneath the spotlight and, the feeling of friendship and love from the people you care about the most. Those are the things you leave when you go back home. But Mitchie knew she would soon get all those things again. After all, it was CampRock, wasn't it?
As Mitchie stuffed her song book in her bag, she heard the sound of feet walking across the hardwood floor. She turned around to see Kaitlyn standing in the doorway. "I see you're packing." Kaitlyn said and pointed to Mitchie's bag on the bed. "Yeah... and you?" Mitchie asked with a frown appearing over her face. Kaitlyn walked over to the bed by Mitchie before saying a word. "I'm gonna miss you kid!" Kaitlyn said with a smile. "Me too." Mitchie said and hugged Kaitlyn tighly. As Mitchie let go, she pulled a napkin from her pocket. "Here." she said and handed it to Kaitlyn. "What's this for?" Kaitlyn asked with confusion on her petite face. "Kaitlyn, I want us to stay friends," Mitchie said as Kaitlyn unfolded the napkin. "And I want us to always remember each other." she continued. Kaitlyn was shocked by what she saw. "Mitchie, it's beautiful. Are you sure?" she asked the brown eye'd beauty. Mitchie nodded and said, "Best Friends Forever?". Kaitlyn nodded back, "BFF's" they smiled and hugged one last time before parting. They weren't going to see each other for a whole year. That's a lot of sepreation for BFF's.
As Kaitlyn left the room and they waved their last goodbyes, Mitchie suddenly felt different. Like she wasn't herself anymore. She felt scared and worried, worried that someone might leave without saying goodbye. She quickly raced out of her cabbin and down the wooden stairs. Looking at every face, movement, step. Then she knew. The one person she hadn't said goodbye to. As she ran over to the long black limo parked right outside of the camp entry, she heard him, laughing and talking. She felt a huge smile play on her face and walked over to the door with the window half open. "Shane," he looked as soon as he heard her sweet voice. "I thought I'd never get to say goodbye." she told him and backed away from the door to let him step out. "Me either." he said and smiled. She laughed, "So, are you coming back next year? 'Cause it would sure be lonely without you." Mitchie said and stared into his gorgeous brown eyes. "How'd you know?" he said and they laughed. "See ya Mitchie." he said and kissed her cheek. She watched him step back into the car and leave. "Bye Shane." she said back walked away.
When she got back up to her cabbin, Connie was in the room packing her belongings in a douffle bag. "Hey sweetie, you ready?" Connie asked her daughter. Mitchie sat down on the bed. "No." Connie walked over to the bed and sat down next to Mitchie. "What's wrong?" she pulled the hair away from Mitchie's face and lifted her head. "Have you ever felt like something is missing?" Mitchie asked. "Is this about Shane?" Connie asked. Mitchie looked at her mother and Connie knew that's what it was. "Honey, You are a wonderful person, and if Shane can't see that, then he's not worth it." Connie told her. "Uh, well I didn't say he didn't, I just said that well, I think I like him." Mitchie explained. Connie wrapped her arms around Mitchie and gave her a hug. "Mitchie Torres, if you really do like him, then you should tell him." Connie suggested. "Really?" she nodded. "That's the only way you'll ever know." Connie said, "Now let's get going. We have to be home by 3 'o clock." Mitchie nodded and they finished packing. In five hours, they would be back home.
