Mitchie's Opportunity of a Lifetime
In the Mess Hall almost everyone was dressed in normal atire, Tess was going to sing first that night and she was looking "normal" in her designer clothing. She had no back up dancers or singers, she was going to do a solo. Shane stood next to the other staff members while I stood next to Caitlyn. Tess stood serious under the "Opening Night Jam" banner hung above her. She was completely relaxed and prepared.
A soft guitar started the song.
You were the one
That I couldn't find
Hidden away
In the depths of my mind
Why did I let you go
You're to good to be true
I messed it up and now I don't know what to do
We ran in circles and wasted time
From right to wrong
From right to wrong
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap
I over thought
So I locked up my heart yeah
There you stood
Your blue eyes hidden beneath your hood
Why did I let you go
You're to good to be true
I messed it up and now I don't know what to do
We ran in circles and wasted time
From right to wrong
From right to wrong
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap
My mind is blank just like a clean slate
Will I meet another guy with the same blue eyes
And the same name, with the converse shoes I gave.
Will he have the same laugh
Wear my homemade hat.
Bet I'll make another mistake.
And think he's just another fake.
Wish I could erase the past now
Wish I could bring you back
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap
The audience applauded. Mitchie turned to Caitlyn, "Wow! She was really good!"
"Not bad for a spoiled witch," Caitlyn said with a laugh. "I wonder why she decided to sing that, what do you think?"
Mitchie shrugged. Tess had walked up to them. "Hey guys what did you think?"
"You looked great out there, and sang that song really well," Mitchie said.
"Thanks, I've been practicing it all year," Tess said. "I'll see you guys later." She said waving as she left our group and over to Ella.
"Are you going up there?" Caitlyn asked.
"No way," Mitchie said.
"Do you think Shane will?" She questioned eagerly.
"Why are you so full of questions?" Mitchie teased.
"Sorry," Caitlyn grinned.
Most of the Camp Rockers had stayed up late talking, Caityln and Mitchie did for a brief while. "So where were you before the Jam?" Caitlyn asked suspiciously.
"Um I went for a walk in the forest," Mitchie said, trying her best not to spill.
"Uh huh, alone at the sunset?" Caitlyn probed.
"Okay with Shane," she admitted.
"So what happened?" Caitlyn asked.
"Nothing," she replied firmly, she muttered, "Except he almost tried to kiss me."
Obviously Caitlyn heard her, "What!? You almost kissed? Well it wouldn't be the first time he's tried."
Mitchie rolled her eyes. "So what's been going on with your romantic life?"
"Simple, I don't like a single guy here or at home, and no one likes me."
"Well, there aren't many to find at home, either," Mitchie said.
"Yeah, it's going to be hard moving and not having my own studio for a couple of months."
"Now that was fun being in there," Mitchie said.
"Hey speaking of guys, did you see that guy in the formal suit sitting with the staff tonight?" Caitlyn asked.
Mitchie shook her head.
"You know it's wierd, I saw him last year at the end of final jam and he's not on our staff and too old to be a camper. But besides that I feel like I've seen him before."
"Like where?" Mitchie inquired.
"Television, internet, your local grocery store," Caitlyn laughed. "Who knows."
"Come on, we'd better be rested up. I have kitchen duty."
Early the next day Mitchie and Caitlyn were in the kitchen. Caitlyn was flipping pancakes moving her body to a beat and humming an unknown tune. Mitchie scrambled the eggs in a pan.
After the last class that day, Shane pulled Mitchie aside from her camper mates. "There's someone I want you to meet."
Mitchie was quite suspicious. She wished she knew why Shane was acting like this, or the fact that her hands were sweating with worry. What did Shane have to say?
Mitchie was brought into Shane's cabin, all around were items organized neatly. Like the flowers by his bed and the smell of a sweet scent. "Mitchie," Shane called for her attention. Turning her head, a man in a formal suit was standing with a brief case. "This is Johny Martin. He's my former agent."
This must be the man that Caitlyn was talking about. Mitchie was speechless. The only sounds that came out of her mouth were "Uh" and "I."
"Shane says you have an amazing voice," he said, yet Mitchie didn't say anything still.
"Before Connect 3 became really famous, Johny promoted me as a singer then I had another agent."
Checking back into reality Mitchie started to speak, "Wow, you must have met a lot of people in your business."
"My job is just to promote the singers until they can find someone who can guide them to the top. I hope that your parents will agree with my offer." Suddenly a cell started ringing. "Sorry, I have to take this, we'll talk later I'll be here all summer."
Once he left Mitchie turned to Shane, "You did this for me?"
"Actually he had, uh, called me, but I thought it would give you a great opportunity." Shane's eyes were sparkling when they looked into Mitchie's.
Mitchie threw her arms around his neck and whispered into his ear, "Thank you."
Shane smiled and slowly held her back. So far summer is going the way I wanted it to.
