"Luce are you sure we're allowed to be here?"
"My dad owns the place would you just chill?"
"Do we need like backstage passes or something?"
"Hector" Lucy exclaimed grabbing hold of her best friend's shoulders "Chill okay? And backstage passes? Seriously?"
"Seriously?" her father mocked lightly from behind her in his thick British accent.
"Dad!" she squealed hugging him tight
"Hey Mr C" Hector sighed a little defeated.
"Please Hector call me Brown"
"What did I tell you? My dad owns the place"
"Now now poppet calm down. I'll take you two on a tour and we'll discuss why you're not back home where I left you later"
She nodded and smiled innocently hoping later never came. She didn't want to tell her father she'd snuck out of the house without her dimwit of a cousin knowing (not that her cousin would care she was off with god knows who al the time anyway), and bought her own bus ticket up to Camp Rock and of course dragged her best friend Hector who kind of snuck out too. They rounded a corner around what looked like the mess hall.
"Oh…My…Shitake!" Hector exclaimed
"Oh my Shitake? What the…Oh my god!"
"I guess I should have warned you two" Brown laughed as he caught the teenagers' line of sight spotting Shane Gray and Connect 3.
"Shane!" Lucy squealed and bolted for the 3 man band hugging the lead singer tight
"She actually knows Shane Gray?" Hector exasperated in disbelief
"Do you not believe a word that girl says?" Brown chuckled clapping Hector on the shoulder pulling him along as they made their way after Lucy.
"Hey little cuz. What are you doing here?"
"I'm not little and I'd ask you the same thing but bad boy Shane Gray is all over the tabloids" she smirked
"You saw that?" he sighed"
"Everyone did. Even Aunty Dee"
"Yeah mom's not happy with me"
"You got that right rock star" she laughed
"I'm with her!" Nate piped up as he put his arm around her shoulder "how are you Luce?"
"Fine Nate and you?"
"Hey Luce maybe you can make me a birdhouse!" Jason butt in. Shane and Nate sighed heavily shaking their heads "What?" The large triangle outside the mess hall rang in their ears as a small boy hit it repeatedly. Swarms of campers started to come toward them hungry and ready to eat.
"Come on Jase we'll talk designs over lunch" Lucy laughed linking arms with the eldest of the band. They strolled into the mess hall with Jason eager to discuss the design of his new birdhouse
"I don't know how she does it" Shane laughed watching them.
"Me either" Nate agreed shaking his head in disbelief. He looked to Brown and Hector whose jaw was planted on the floor "Hey I'm Nate. You must be Lucy's friend. Is it Henry?"
Hector did his best to form at least a word but he was so awestruck nothing was coming out.
"Come on Hector we'll grab some lunch and you can try and speak later aye?" Brown laughed saving him from humiliation.
