Adriana stood at her locker, both hands on her hips. It was the last day of school and she was the last one to be cleaning out her locker, she knew that if she left anything besides the decorations adorning the door, the school would throw it out.

She grabbed the last of her things and stuffed them down into the bottom of her book bag.

"Hey Adriana!" someone yelled from down the hall. Her head snapped up as she searched the hallways for a familiar face. Suddenly, she saw her two best friends coming down the hall towards her.

Madison Taylor was Adriana's closest friend by far, Lance Chen was her new friend, not necessarily her best, but a good one none the less. She didn't have many friends, but she wasn't going to complain about the ones she had, especially because Lance wasn't coming back the next school year, he was a senior.

"Hey Madi, hey Lance. Ready for summer?" Adriana asked smiling widely. She lugged her book bag over her shoulder.

"Yeah, I guess…I'm not really doing anything. Reading, writing mostly," Madison shrugged pushing her black and white rectangular glasses up on her nose.

"I'm going to England…permanently," Lance spoke up quietly. Adriana and Madison's eyes began to bulge. Did he say forever? And if so, what exactly was the time limit of "forever?"

"What?" Adriana croaked.

"Yup, my parents kicked me out and if I wanna be completely safe…I'll leave the country," Lance nodded.

"Don't you think you're being just a bit dramatic? I mean, you could always call child protective services. You know, something that doesn't requires us to get passports?" Madison sighed quietly.

"How can I? What other choice do I have? If I don't get as far as possible, my dad is going to do anything to torment me for the rest of my life."

Adriana looked pale and solemn, she was looking forward to telling her friends about her summer plans, she had been all day. But now, her mood was kind of knocked out of whack.

She yanked at her full bangs, which is what she subconsciously did when she was frustrated or nervous. At the moment, she was both. Which made her wonder if she was certificially anxious

"Now I'm depressed." Madison frowned.

Adriana nodded, "I am too."

"Well don't let me glum you guys' moods. Besides, Adriana didn't get to tell her summer plans."

"Oh yeah, what do you have planned for the summer Adri? Maybe we can hang together?" Madison said hopefully.

"I wish we could, but, I won't be here for the next eight weeks starting Friday," Adriana said, the faintest glimmer of a smile playing on her lips.

"What do you mean? Where are you going?" Lance asked raising a quizzical eyebrow.

"Camp Rock," Adriana emphasized the words playfully. She loved the way the words flowed from her mouth. Camp Rock, who wouldn't want to attend the most popular camp for anyone who wanted to make into the business?

"Wow, how did you get the money to afford it?" Madison exclaimed.

"Working at Jason's Deli and doing extra work around the house," Adriana shrugged as the headed out into the bright sun.

"Wow, that's some major buckage, and even more workage!" Lance said playfully. Adriana and Madison laughed, they would miss Lance dearly and the realization was hard to comprehend.

"So, are you going to take your music?" Madison asked.

"I don't know, it's not like I'll let anyone here it or anything."

"You have to, if people aren't aware of your talents, then how will they ever listen?"

Adriana stared down at her 'Orange Crème' Chuck Taylor's to keep from looking Lance in the eye. She knew he was right, but at the same time he was wrong. Just because someone listened to what her music had to say didn't mean they would listen to her.

"I still don't know," she said dejectedly.

"You should do it." Madison nudged her, both of her friends were urging her to do something she wasn't so sure about doing.

"Listen, I have to go. I have a lot of packing to do and I have to get to work." Adriana said changing the subject awkwardly.

"Okay, bye," Lance sighed. They all hugged each other one last time before going their separate ways. Lance was walking Madison home since it was on his way to the storage depot, so Adriana was all alone. Like that was anything new.
