Well. Another Camp Rock story. It's a little different than I expected but hey! I don't own a thangg. lolol. read on please
"Yeah Mom I'll be back later!" Mitchie shouted to Connie Torres, who was packing up her things, preparing to leave the following morning. Mitchie was grinning brightly from ear to ear as she walked down the hill where she saw Shane Gray leaned up against a turned over canoe, both his hair and t-shirt rippling slightly in the breeze. "Hey." She was slightly out of breath from running all the way there, Shane smiled.
"Ready to get in this thing?" He asked her, already getting down low to flip it over. Mitchie joined him and pushed hard, successfully turning it right side up. Shane picked up two life jackets and strapped his on with ease. Mitchie, unfortunately, was having some trouble. "Here." Shane smiled and skillfully buckled it for her, his hands lingering there moments longer than necessary.
"Thanks." She grinned up at him, realizing how close their bodies were. "Er uhm. Let's go!" Her cheeks tinged pink and Shane grinned. The pair got into the slim boat and began to paddle their way out onto the lake. "So I'd say tonight was a big success." Mitchie laughed and swirled the paddle in the water. Her laugh was infectious as Shane joined in.
"Definitely. You were amazing." He complimented her sweetly, making Mitchie blush once more, he was good at making her blush, he noted. She looked away and Shane placed a hand beneath her chin, making two pairs of brown eyes meet. "Really." He smiled. "So I came out here, intending to ask you-" Shane's heart pounded in his chest as Mitchie smiled.
"SHANE! SHANE!" Nate and Jason were splashing out in the water, waving their arms like madmen. "COME ON! WE HEARD FROM THE MOVIE PRODUCER!" Shane whipped around to look at them and Mitchie looked dully at the bottom of the boat.
"Okay I'm coming! I'm coming!" Shane looked at Mitchie apologetically before picking up his paddle and started bringing them towards his band mates. "Mitchie I'm sorry this was cut short." He murmured and Mitchie nodded.
"It's fine. This is important I'm sure." She continued paddling. Once they were close enough, Jason grabbed Shane and pulled him out of the boat. "Bye." Mitchie muttered, swinging her legs out of the canoe. The boys were talking a mile a minute and Mitchie only caught bits and pieces. The words: movie, leads, a year away, and leaving tonight, were all she got.
"Mitchie I'm sorry. We have to start packing to fly out tonight. I'm so sorry." Shane turned and ran up the hill with his two best friends. Mitchie sighed and sat down on top of another canoe, not even trying to flip the other over.
"I knew this was too good to be tr-" Shane had run back towards her and kissed her strongly.
"As soon as I get back, you and I will be together. I promise. Just as long as you promise to wait for me." Mitchie nodded breathlessly. Shane kissed her once more before running back to his waiting friends. Mitchie grinned, even if it wouldn't be soon, she and Shane would be together, he promised.
It was now May, and Mitchie's jaw was on the floor as she watched Shane put his arm on the waist of his gorgeous co-star, and...girlfriend. "WHO IS THAT?!" Caitlyn shrieked, walking up beside her friend. Caitlyn had stayed with them that year, not wanting to be home schooled with her sister like she had been before. Mitchie shushed her and turned up the volume.
"Yes hello! This is Missy Martin with Shane Gray and his girlfriend Priscilla Quinn, the two recently starred in Connect 3's first movie. So Shane, how long have you and Priscilla been together?" The news lady's voice was high and excited, much like a chihuahua would sound like if they could talk. But Mitchie's eyes and ears were focused on the grinning couple.
"Well Missy, Priscilla and I first fell for each other the very first day of shooting. I looked into Priscilla's eyes I knew she was the one for me. We've been happy ever since." Shane spoke to the woman, Priscilla hanging on his arm with a loving smile on her face. Mitchie couldn't watch any more as her vision was blurred by tears. She clicked it off and looked at Caitlyn, blinking rapidly to fight the tears threatening to spill.
"Oh Mitchie..." Caitlyn hugged her tightly. Mitchie was more than upset and Caitlyn was just going to let her cry it out before she tried to talk any sense into her. For the following week, Mitchie's happiness was clearly false. She didn't bring up Shane once. But nobody wanted to tell her she didn't have to pretend to be happy, that would only upset her more.
Then he started calling.
"I don't want to speak to him!" Mitchie exclaimed when her father told her Shane was on the phone. Caitlyn hurried to the phone and promptly hung up on him. "Thanks." Mitchie sniffed and Caitlyn hugged her once more.
"What are friends for?" Both girls grinned and giggled. It took weeks of Mitchie's loved ones convincing her to return to the camp she had loved the previous summer. But in the end; she, Caitlyn, and Connie were driving in the square brown catering truck to Camp Rock. Mitchie was looking wistfully out the window, and Caitlyn was working at her laptop, glancing over at her often. "Alright stop that. We're going to have fun this summer!" Caitlyn closed the laptop and pinched her best friend.
"Ouch! Wha?" Mitchie snapped back into reality, Caitlyn shaking her head. "Right fun." Caitlyn sighed and resumed clicking and typing on the laptop. They finally arrived at the camp and Mitchie had to admit, she was excited to see just about everyone.
"Mitchie! Caitlyn!" Ella and Peggy squealed and ran towards them as the two kitchen helpers hopped out of the truck. The four hugged and giggled, excitedly exchanging greetings and smiles. Tess was walking slowly behind.
"Hey Caitlyn. Hi Mitchie." There was a sense of awkwardness between them once more, Caitlyn had looked up Priscilla Quinn had found out she was none other than Tess's cousin. And of course Tess knew that Shane and her cousin were together. "How was your year?" She asked them and both looked at each other before Caitlyn responded.
"I know you're trying to be nice but this is weird." She stated bluntly, Ella giggling to the side of them. Tess sighed with relief and agreed. Just because they didn't hate each other didn't mean they had to be best friends. The five walked toward the stage where Dee was welcoming everyone back to Camp Rock. Her speech was basically the same as last year, and momentarily; Mitchie forgot all about Shane.
"And for the second year in a row, Shane Gray has returned as an instructor! Along with the rest of Connect 3! Nate Cohen and Jason Matthews!" The three guys ran out onstage and waved smilingly at all the campers, girls going insane at the sight of them. "Well remember everyone! This camp isn't about being the best, it's about finding your sound and having fun!" Dee grinned once more before the campers dispersed.
"Come on." Mitchie pulled Caitlyn away from the stage so she wouldn't have to see Shane. They walked to their cabin and dropped off their belongings before heading to the kitchen to start on dinner before the first Jam of the summer. "I really hope he doesn't go." Mitchie admitted while they cut up ingredients.
"You know you have all the reason in the world to be mad, but at this camp you know you two will run into each other." Caitlyn informed her and Mitchie nodded, she knew that but she didn't want to see Shane. Afraid that after being hurt she would still like him, which would get her nowhere.
"Mitchie! Mitchie!" Shane entered the kitchen and Connie looked up from the grill as he entered, a bright smile on his face. "I have so much to tell-" Caitlyn stepped in front of him. "Caitlyn what are you doing? I just want to see Mitchie." The youngest Torres kept her eyes focused on the peppers she was slicing up.
"Shane why don't you just go call your girlfriend or something." Caitlyn glared at him icily. Shane's eyes widened as he looked at the both of them.
"That's what this is about?? Mitchie she's not-" Shane tried to move around Caitlyn unsuccessfully. She cut him off once more in an acidic tone with an air of finality ringing in her words.
"Just leave Shane." Normally Shane wouldn't be intimidated so easily but if you were standing in his shoes, in front of a clearly angry Caitlyn Geller, you would have behaved the exact same way.
"Fine. Fine! If you wont listen to me then." He motioned to move once more and Caitlyn stepped in front of him. "Bye." He turned and stormed out of the kitchen, much like the angry popstar that had first walked into Camp Rock last summer. Connie swiftly moved to her daughter and told her to go get ready for that night's Jam. Mitche looked up at her mother and nodded, leaving with Caitlyn.
