Disclaimer-I do not own any of the characters from Camp Rock.
It's been exactly three years since I've been to Camp Rock, I guess you can say not much has changed. I mean nothing about me has changed, it's just the same Mitchie as before. You know it's hard to stay in touch with people, I think we all know that. Sure there's the promises of 'oh I'll write you, or we must stay in touch.' After they hug and do what not. But in reality there just empty words aren't they? Yes they are. I know I probably sound bitter but, I'm not trust me I'm not. The only person I did sort of kinda stay in touch with is Caitlyn, she's someone I know I can talk to when I need adivse or just need to vent out my feelings. What about Shane you may ask, well that time span lasted about 3 months give or take a few days. I just gave up after a while, i.e he never texted back. I've been doing some writing some songs now and then, but it seems like I've lost my touch. Is it me or something else? Ever since I left it seems like I haven't been able to finish one damn song.
But enough about that, I'm finally 18, an adult. Woohoo! Right? Eh nothings really changed I still feel like I did last year or the year before that. I did get into the college I wanted to so that's a plus, heading off to California seems like a brand new start. That's what I need a clean slate, even though I haven't really done anything exciting or illegal per say, so yes you can label me as a loser. Senior year was the year the real pressure was on, you all know what I'm talking about. The sound of my cell phone pulled me from my thoughts. I called down at the caller ID and smiled before answering.
"Hey so how's it going in New York?" I ask her as I lay back down on my bed staring at my ceiling, I can hear taxi cab horn's in the background. I miss New York, I went there this spring break to visit Caitlyn. I was always the big city type of girl, even though I grew up in a small town.
"Wellll New York is....New York." Caitlyn finished lamely, ditto that. It's pretty much hard to explain New York, cause there's just too much to tell literally.
"Hahaha I know what you mean Cait, so anyways did you get into NYU?"
"Umm, I don't know yet."
"Meaning...?"
"No."
"Aww Cait, I'm really sorry." I said in a sympathetic tone, I know how much she wanted to get in.
"Don't be, it's a whatever now, I might try Rhode Island College, they sound interesting."
"Yeah sure I guess, I mean if you wanna be in the middle of nowhere."
"Hey! It's not."
"Riight sure," I say and rolled my eyes, I would probably shoot myself if I lived in a small state like Rhode Island. We lasped into a comfortable silence before I broke it. "So anyways did I mention I got into UCLA."
"No way! That's Awesome Mitchie, when do you leave?"
"In about a week, not soon enough."
"Aww, I'm gonna miss you so, so much."
"What are you talking about, you're already far away."
"I know," She huffed then continued. "But I'm talking about across the country."
"Caitlyn it's not so bad." I said trying to make it sound better then it should, truth was I was gonna miss her too, she's like best friend right now. When I leave who am I gonna talk to? The time difference will really mess us up. I push that thought a side and try and not think about it anymore right now.
"Always the optimistic Mitch, seriously sometimes it kills me."
"Yeah I know, that's my charm."
"Ha so anyways I wish you're able to come out and visit me before you leave."
"You know I would it's just that..."
"I know, I know it's okay though, I mean we still have this and texting, and web cam..." She trailed off, once again we were in silence. Don't get me wrong it wasn't the awkward kind where you wanna fill it, just the right kind. The more I think about it, it seems like me and Caitlyn have been listening to silence then each other, the thought of us seriously drifting apart scares the shit out of me. I for sure dont want to lose her as a friend.
"Hey Cait...?"
"Yeah."
"I..um gotta go, my mom wants me to get ready, we're having this family dinner kinda a going away thing."
"Oh okay."
"So...I'll talk to you soon?"
"Sure."
"Bye."
"Bye." After I hung up with Caitlyn I threw my phone aside and closed my eyes, thoughts of California and UCLA filled my dreams.
California ready or not here I come.
