Author's Note: This is my very first Camp Rock FF. So, I hope you like it! I, personally, like it so far. And I'll continue only if you want me too. I'd love to hear what you think by reviewing. Happy reading! Oh, and also I do NOT own anything at all except the plot or the storyline, that's all me. Oh yeah. ;)
Summary: Destiny has something against me. First, he spills coffee all over me. Then, I run into him in his neighborhood. I hate him, he hates me, why does fate keep bringing us together? Smitchie. Some Naitlyn.
Chapter One "All Men Are Idiots"
I sighed briefly before taking the next customer's order. Another day of work for me. "I can help who's next in line, please!" I called out to the line.
A man with pitch-black sunglasses walked up. You could barely see his eyes with them on. It was as if he was trying to hide something. I eyed him peculiarly. "Look, Miss. I know I'm hot and everything but I'm trying to order some coffee." snapped the young man. He caught me off guard. And he seemed quite conceited.
"Mitchie, I can take it from here." Caitlyn offered. I smiled and thanked her that I had been relieved of my cashier shift and now I had a break.
I removed my apron and hung it up on the hook on the wall and proceeded to sit at one of the tables. I checked my cellphone to see if I had received a text from my boyfriend. No new messages. It read. I sighed deeply, he was probably out with some hooker girl again. Oh hell, why do I let him do this to me? Why do I constantly take him back? I thought. A single tear slid down my cheek, I quickly wiped it away. Caitlyn walked over to me and decided to take a break as well. "Mitch, you've got to stop doing this to yourself. I hate seeing you like this. Let him go already"
I stared at her glumly. "I-I wish I could, but no matter how hard I try he keeps coming back and I-I just don't know how to say no..." My head hung low. Suddenly, I felt a jerk on my foot. Oh shit!
"What the hell?" yelled an annoyed voice. He also spilled his coffee all over me. So now, my uniform is drenched in coffee and now I smell like a cappacino. I looked at the floor to find the mysterious man on the ground glaring up at me.
"Oh! I am SO sorry! I didn't mean to trip you! It was an accident, I swear!" I apologized as I stretched my hand out to help him. He ignored the hand I held out for him and grunted as he got up off the floor.
"Next time, watch where you put your damn foot, you idiot." He said. What the hell? I'm not the only one at fault. He spilled his coffee all over me. Don't I deserve an apology too? I noticed his hat had fallen off and I picked it up for him. Caitlyn's jaw dropped. I gasped when I realized who had just fallen in front of me.
Shane Gray.
The lead singer of Connect Three, the most favoured band of this century. Well, they were the most awesome band until Shane had quit due to his jerkiness. I heard his band mates got fed up and sent in back to some camp to help him get back to his roots. I should know. Caitlyn and I were at that camp when we were sixteen. But he was a no-show. Once the press found out that he never showed up it set a bad image for the band and eventually, they split up. The rest of the band tried to go on, but their fans weren't very fond that Connect Three became a connect two.
They used to make amazing music before when they first started out. Then their music got cocky and retarded, so did Shane. The fact that he had everything I ever dreamt of and he threw it all away made me mad. "Oh... my god, you're... that guy." I said slowly.
"Ugh, great another fan." He muttered.
"You're that idiot with a big head full of hot air thinking he can just waltz around doing whatever he pleases! You're the jackass who had everything but just threw it away because someone didn't add enough sugar to your freaking coffee! I said sorry for tripping you, yet you don't apologize for spilling coffee on me? What the hell is your problem. Oh, wait, it's because you're Shane Gray. Isn't it?" It felt venom dripping out of my mouth as I spoke to him. He had a solemn look on his face and snorted. I heard him mutter a small 'whatever'. And he left the shop. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I spun around. Everyone's eyes still on me, Caitlyn looked worried for me.
"Ahem, Michelle. May I please speak with you for a moment?" Ugh. Michelle, I hated that name. The only people who call me that is, my manager, I swear he hates me, and my mother, she thinks it's a beautiful name.
My boss led me into his small office, Caitlyn followed me. "Take a seat." ordered my boss as he grabbed his regular doughnut. "Michelle, as much as it pains me to say this, but, you're fired."
"Thought so." I mumbled. Caitlyn's jaw dropped.
"What? How can you fire her? I mean, sure, she fought with a customer. It's not her fault, he made a big deal about being accidentally tripped. Plus, he also spilled coffe all over Mitchie! Technically, he trig-" Caitlyn protested.
"Cait, it's okay. I had it coming." I walked out, then went back in. I wouldn't let my ex-manager have the last word. "And by the way, the name is Mitchie. And, I have a tip for you. Drop the fat food, and run ten miles. Women MIGHT actually take a second look at you because those sweets you eat everyday. Not really helping." I remarked sarcastically. His face became flushed with anger. I gave him a farewell wink. Kiss my ass. Caitlyn smiled at me with a look that said, 'Great job'. I left the room to change out of my uniform. I'm not going to bother washing the stinking uniform. Mr. Fat-ass can do it himself. As I handed in my uniform, I also grabbed my last paycheck before heading out to the parking lot. Caitlyn was at my car waiting for me.
"Cait, what are you doing here? You still have work, don't you?"
"Nah, I quit too." I raised an eyebrow at her. I was confused. "C'mon, you honestly think I would work there without my best friend. You know me better than that, Mitch." I smiled and gave her a hug.
"Plus, you're my only ride home. I don't like taking the bus." She added. I laughed at her. We both got into the car and I turned on the engine and drove off. We had a great time burning our ex-boss, like, how every time he actually got a date, which was practically never, his date would go the bathroom and never return.
"Caitlyn, how are we going to pay our rent this month if we don't have jobs?" I asked. I almost forgot we were jobless. I started to consider what would happen if we couldn't pay our rent and bills. Ugh, bills. No wonder my dad hated them. They deprived my wallet of money.
"We'll make it work. I'm sure we can find another job." She answered. I nodded in agreement. All I had to do was hope, we would find stable jobs soon. As soon, as we entered the apartment Caitlyn decided to take Lucky, our dog, out for a walk. She asked if I wanted to come, I said no at first. I had a lot on my mind. My current boyfriend, bills and rent, and to top it all off I had a big test coming up on Monday. It would determine whether I passed college or not. Then I decided I should go for a walk around the place and clear my head or everything bugging me. I put my cellphone in my pocket, in case I called Caitlyn for a ride home. My iPod was set to shuffle and I was out of the apartment in less than ten minutes.
I breathed in the fresh air, I felt so much better. I continued to walk around and turn at random streets I never seen, I made sure I remember the street names so I wouldn't get lost. Eventually, I came across some kind of big gate. I assumed it was a gate to a park so I just walked in. Then, I saw a playground, it was empty yet it was a beautiful day for the park. Most kids would be playing around and running on a day like this. I continued to walk along the sidewalk. My cellphone started ringing, it read Sierra. After all these years, Sierra and I had managed to keep in contact even though she was in Australia studying with a bunch of geologists.
"Hey Si."
"Hey Mitch. What are you up to?" She asked.
"Just walking around, clearing my head. But why are you calling? I mean, it's like two in the afternoon here. Isn't it like early in the morning of something over there?" I wondered.
"It's only five in the morning. I always get up at this time. Besides, I haven't called in, like, two weeks!" exclaimed Sierra. I laughed.
"Okay, okay, I get it. But seriously, who gets up at five in the morning, Si?" I teased.
"Ha. Ha, very funny Mitch. I call to speak with my best friend and you tease me?" She replied. She knew I was joking. We both laughed. Man, I missed her. She was my solid rock throughout high school.
"Where's Caitlyn? I haven't spoken to her in forever either. Put her on the phone!"
"Sorry, Si. She's walking Lucky, I bet she's checking out some guys." I laughed.
"Yup, that's Caity. Wait...if Caitlyn is checking out hot guys, then why aren't you with her? Hm? Does Mitchie have a hottie in her life?" laughed Sierra. I rolled and my eyes and scoffed.
"No, I don't. C'mon Si, you know I still have...him." I replied. I heard Sierra gasp quietly.
"Mitchie..."
"No, Si. I know what you're going to say. 'Break up with him, you deserve way better.' I know I deserve better, but, I just can't let go. We have a long history, Si!" I exclaimed.
"I know! You grew up together, blah, blah, blah..." She continued. I would have replied if I hadn't bumped into someone.
BUMP!
I let out a small shriek of surprise as me and the unknown person crashed onto the ground. "MITCHIE!" I heard Sierra yell in the phone.
"Sorry, Si. I'll call you later. I'm fine." She mumbled a quiet bye and hung up. I sighed as I got off the ground and looked into the hazel brown orbs of someone who I did not want to see again. Great, way to ruin my day. I patted the dirt on my jeans.
"Oh, it's you." I mumbled. He scoffed. We both just stood there in silence. One word that describes what's going right now, awkward.
"What? No 'I'm sorry'?" He said. He stared at me as if he were expecting something from me.
"Why? Well, I'm not the only one who wasn't watching where I was going." I shot back.
"Whatever. Anyways, what the heck are you doing here anyways? This is a GATED private community." He informed. My lips formed a round 'o'.
"Really? Oops, I didn't know. I'll just leave now then." I said sheepishly as I turned to walk away.
"Hey, wait. What's your name?" He asked. I glared at him.
"What? Why do you want to know, Gray?" I replied.
"I think it's only fair, since you know my name." He said. He did have a point. I pretended to think about it.
"How about no?" I replied and I started to walk back towards the gate.
"Hey, what the hell? Why not? What is your name?" He asked again starting to get a little angry. To be honest, he was starting to get on my nerves.
"Wouldn't you like to know, pop star." And with that, I walked through the gate again. I could still feel his eyes on me. What the hell? Why would he take a second glance at me? I hope I never see him again in person. He is the most arrogant, self-centered, vain, and egotistical guy ever. He disgraces the male race. I hate his guts. When I get home, I'm going to print out a picture of him, draw all over his pretty boy face, give him devil eyes, the I will hang it up on my wall and throw freaking darts at it.
Once I got home, I did exactly that. Caitlyn walked in with Lucky and found me throwing darts all over his picture. She stared at me shocked. I stopped my official new hobby and looked at her. "What?" I asked innocently.
"I'm not even going to ask." She shook her head. I shrugged my shoulders. "Though, I must give you credit. That is a brilliant idea. Now I just wish you would do that with Mr. Asshole."
"Cait, don't call him that!" I yelled as I threw another dart. A few minutes later, she comes down with a picture of my boyfriend. Caitlyn does have a point, my boyfriend is a complete idiot. She pinned up his picture on the wall. He is such jerk for cheating on me numerous times. I started to throw darts at both pictures. Some boyfriend he is, he's a complete piece of shit for breaking all his promises to me. By now, I had a few stray tears flow down my cheeks, then I wiped them off because that jerk doesn't deserve my tears.
"Caitlyn, I've recently concluded that all men are idiots."
Okay, so that was the first chapter! What did you guys think? I liked the part when Mitchie was throwing darts at the pictures. I had the idea in my head. Honestly, I was laughing a bit at the last section of the chapter. I'd love to read your comments, constructive criticism, and suggestions. Also, to be honest, I was having trouble with the title of the story, I love your feedback about the title and feel free to suggest other names. Please review! :)
Yours truly,
