Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Camp Rock. And the word 'frenemy' even though amazing, isn't mine. Don't know where it's from actually.
AN: This has been done before in various fandoms and I was talking to LaPaige who is doing something similar for SWAC and she suggested I do one for Camp Rock. So here it is - Ten Things you didn't know about Camp Rock Characters. First up - Caitlyn. Any feedback is always appreciated!
Caitlyn Gellar
1. She'd never liked Connect 3. The rest of the girls at her school thought she didn't understand music and Shane Gray's hotness, but really, what was there to like? Their music was overproduced and Shane Gray was an arrogant jerk.
It wasn't until she heard them live for the very first time at Beach Jam did she think that possibly, they might be something worth listening to. Because their music was actually pretty good that time and even though she still didn't think Shane Gray was hot, she did think he could carry a tune.
2. She couldn't cook to save her life so it was kind of ironic when Brown gave her kitchen duty.
She didn't bother complaining after a while because kitchen duty lead to the best friend she had ever had.
3. Everyone thought she was amazingly gutsy. Truth was she would get so nervous, it sometimes took three people to calm her down. Before she performed at Pyjama Jam she had thrown up and it had surprisingly been Shane Gray who had told her in a not-so-jerky moment that she didn't have a reason to be nervous.
She knew he didn't really like the music she was into, but just watching him nod along gave her that spurt of confidence she needed – until Tess screamed, that is.
4. She was ever-so-slightly jealous of Mitchie. Because Mitchie got it all – perfect summer filled with drama and then a romantic canoe ride with the boy of her dreams.
All she got was a challenge to a dance off from Sander, and as she watched Mitchie sneak off, she couldn't help her stomach twisting in guilt for feeling jealous of her best friend.
5. The first time she met Connect 3 had been before they were famous and they had been sworn enemies. Shane had taken the last pancake at breakfast and Caitlyn had sworn that she wasn't ever going to talk to him or be his friend.
Nate and Jason had just followed his lead and the next few weeks had resulted in the biggest pranking war at Camp Rock, according to Brown.
6. She had always thought of Dee as a second mother from the time she had had a nightmare about her own mother and had gone to sit on the docks at 3 in the morning. Dee had just listened to her and then had let her call her Mom first thing in the morning.
Caitlyn knows Brown asked what was wrong. She also knows Dee never told him.
7. Caitlyn, in a weird way, respects Tess. Because it takes guts to admit when you're wrong but to do it after you've lost something you've craved, takes a whole lot more.
They might never be friends, and in no way ever, is Caitlyn going to admit that to Tess, but she does respect her.
8. She didn't ever agree with Peggy winning Final Jam. She knew Mitchie couldn't win, because she wasn't even an official entry but she doesn't think it should have been Peggy.
She thinks Sander, Barron and Ella should have won because she's never met anyone who could express their passion for music so much and she knew how much it took for Ella to join another group at the last minute.
9. The relationships in her life were always clear to her. Mitchie was her best friend, Shane was her frenemy and Jason was the big brother she had never had.
It was only when she thought of Nate did it confuse her because she couldn't define her relationship with him. And it scared her that she couldn't do that.
10. Caitlyn never let anyone see her cry. Mitchie didn't see her cry after her first boyfriend broke up with her. Shane didn't see her cry after he broke her nose accidently. Jason didn't see her cry when he thanked her for being an amazing sister.
When Nate turned up at her flat in the early hours of the morning claiming that Shane had called him because Mitchie had gone into labour, she still didn't cry. But when she took her sort-of nephew into her arms for the first time, she couldn't help the tears from falling. Shane still teases her about it but she couldn't care less. Because it was for her nephew.
