First chapter! Yay! So…I have the general idea for this story but it might take a little longer between updates…This is the next year of Camp Rock and Jessica will still be in it- along with a couple of new characters eventually. Please review!
Chapter 1
Caitlyn pulled up her lime green knee socks and slipped on her black converses before heading out of the cabin. She had arrived at Camp Rock only an hour or so ago, but after a little fight on the dock with one of the guys they had fallen in the lake and had to change. At least he had surrendered.
"Hey, Jess!" Caitlyn waved with a grin and Jessica Parker approached her from the opposite direction on the path.
"Hey!" Jessica grinned, "I hear you've started trouble at camp already."
"Uh, sorta." Caitlyn said with a grin and a shrug, "We were just playing around. Just a tip-don't go in the lake today. It's freezing!" Jessica laughed.
"I don't plan to." Jessica shook her head, "You're one interesting person, Cait."
"Thank you!" she said cheerfully, "Where are you headed in such a hurry? No classes today so you must have plans?"
"Going to meet Shane for lunch." She said cheerfully.
"Aw, how sweet." Caitlyn said sarcastically, "I swear you too are like love birds. Ugh, gag me."
"Nate's gonna eat with us too if you want to join us." Jessica smirked.
"Why would that matter?" Caitlyn demanded, ignoring her blushing.
"I know you had a crush on him last year." Jessica said bluntly with a grin, "I thought you'd be eager to see him again."
"Uh, no thanks. I'm joining…Lola for lunch." Caitlyn rolled her eyes, ignoring and annoyed by the fact that she was blushing.
"Okay." Jessica shrugged, "See you later. I'll tell Nate you said hi!" she threw over her shoulder as she passed Caitlyn. She simply rolled her eyes and bounced off to find Lola.
Jessica slid into a seat next to Shane and across from Jason and Nate when she entered the mess hall. It seemed like only weeks ago that Camp Rock had ended and Shane had proposed to her.
"Hey, baby." Shane surprised her by saying with a grin.
"Don't call me that." Jessica stated simply, spearing her food in mock annoyance.
"Why not?" he asked.
"I dunno." Jessica shrugged, "Just don't." She was irritated that she was having trouble holding back a smile.
"Fine then, I'll have to think of some embarrassing nickname for you." Shane shrugged.
"Whatever." Jessica laughed before turning to Nate and Jason, "Have you guys talked to Caitlyn yet?"
"No." Jason said and smirked as they waited for Nate to reply. Nate looked up from his food as if he hadn't even been paying attention until that minute. He shrugged.
"No, why?" he said simply.
"Just wondering." Jessica bit back a smile, and felt Shane nudge her.
"Are you trying to hook my brother up with that girl?" Shane whispered into her ear.
"Not really." Jessica replied simply, "It's just that they like each other, so I'm just curious as to how things'll turn out this summer."
"I can't wait until this summer is over." Shane remarked to the others at the table.
"Shane!" Jessica hit his arm, "Camp just started! Don't wish it away yet!"
"Hey, you're the one who wanted to wait until after Camp Rock to get married." Shane shrugged with a grin, "There's still time to change your mind.'
"I think I can wait." Jessica blushed as Nate and Jason made gagging motions from across the table.
"You think you can." Shane repeated slowly, "'Think' being the key word."
"Oh, get over yourself." Jessica laughed as he wiggled his eyebrows.
Nate watched Shane and Jessica obviously enjoying teasing each other during lunch. He sighed. That's what he wanted with Caitlyn, but there was no way he was asking her out.
"Let's go, guys, it's getting crowded." Nate spoke up when they were almost finished eating. They agreed and all four of them walked from the building joking around and simply having fun.
Caitlyn finished lunch with Lola by the lake and was heading back to her cabin when she hears Jessica call her name. She turned with a smile that disappeared when she saw the older girl coming her way-with the members of Connect 3.
"Did you want to go for a canoe ride?" Jessica asked when they had reached her.
"Sure." Caitlyn agreed with a shrug, "My agenda for the day is empty."
"Let's go then!" Jessica remarked, grabbing Shane's hand and taking off toward the dock.
"Wow, eager much?" she chuckled, motioning toward Jessica way ahead of them on the path.
"That'd be my guess." Jason replied.
"They just want to beat us so they can be in a canoe alone together." Nate smiled before making a face, "Fine by me."
Jessica stared across the water with a contended sigh. It was so good to be back at Camp Rock with Shane again. They were making their way out to the middle of the lake, Nate, Jason and Caitlyn quite a ways behind.
"Last time I came out on the lake…" Shane looked thoughtfully out at the water.
"Mitchie." Jessica nodded in understanding. She made a face, "Don't remind me. I might change my mind about this and demand to be taken back."
"Don't worry." Shane grinned, "It's not wishful thinking. This is how it was supposed to be. Me out here with you-not her."
"That's sweet." Jessica said softly, unable to glance down at her engagement ring shining in the sunlight. It was a very expensive ring but Shane had refused to take it back and get a more reasonable priced one.
"I love you." Shane sighed with a small smile a she starred at her. He couldn't seem to get over how beautiful she was. Her dark brown curls blowing in the lake breeze, and her cheerful eyes shining.
"Stop looking at me like that." Jessica bit her lip, "You're embarrassing me."
"What? Now I'm not allowed to look at my own future wife?" Shane asked with mock horror.
"Yes, just not like that." Jessica laughed, "It's gross when you drool.'
"I was not drooling." Shane argued firmly.
"Good." Jessica nodded.
"But you are breathtaking." Shane added with a grin.
"Okay, now you can shut up." Jessica demanded, her cheeks turning noticeably pink.
"Fine." He shrugged, "I can't be quiet for long though."
"I know you can't." Jessica commented, "Motor-mouth." He pretended to glare at her.
"Are they sickeningly cute together?" Jason rolled his eyes.
"You got the sickening part right." Caitlyn agreed with a laugh, "Right, Nate?"
"Sure." He simply shrugged.
"What's with you?" Caitlyn asked, "Supposedly you're as loud as your brothers. Jason's beating you by a mile in conversation though."
"Nothing, just thinking." He commented as he stared out at the lake.
Jason inwardly rolled his eyes. Shane was being a fool in love, and Nate was sulking at not asking Caitlyn out. Was he the only straight minded Gray brother? He figured so.
"No way am I gonna sit out here pointlessly." Jason spoke up after fifteen minutes of silence, "They're not waiting for us, and you two obviously aren't in a talking mood."
"We can head back if you want." Nate offered.
"Please." Caitlyn nodded in agreement, "I'm getting hot out here."
