It Starts With Goodbye
Chapter 2
"Summer With Shane"
..
'I'll call you.'
That's what Shane had said right before they both left for different sides of the country.
'It'll be pretty hectic for a while - convincing the label about Connect 3's new direction, and organising that recording session with Peggy - but I'm sure I'll find time.'
He had laughed at that last bit, in a way that had convinced Mitchie that he wouldn't find time, He'd make it. Make time to call her. But he hadn't so far.
Mitchie pushed these thoughts to the back of her head, concentrating instead on her Algebra homework. At the rate she was going, she'd still be working on it by Christmas!
Against her will, Mitchie's thoughts were drawn to Laura.
She had been thinking about Laura and her "Summer With Shane" ever since lunch time. When it wasn't playing on her mind it was at the back of her head, trying to be figured out.
By the last bell everyone in school knew that Laura had spent the summer with Shane Gray.
Apparently, her and Nicole had spent all of June with the band, before going with Nate and Jason in their limo, to drop Shane off at Camp Rock in July. Laura wouldn't say if anything had happened between her and Shane, but Nicole had gotten "Very Close" to Nate over the summer.
Well at least that's what they both say!
The whole school knew all this, but what they didn't know was that someone else had gotten close to Shane over the summer. Someone who actually was at Camp Rock, and who actually knew the guys from Connect 3: Mitchie.
She supposed that word would soon spread that she had been at Camp Rock. After all, there were pictures all over the internet, and in every single one, standing with Shane's arm around her shoulder, was Mitchie.
But what would happen when everyone found out that Laura had been lying about everything? Mitchie had seen this happen before: She had been found out when she was lying, and that was the worst feeling in the world: Not being trusted.
She had also seen what had happened when being popular went too far: Tess had lost the only two real friends she had, and ended up crawling back, apologising.
Separately, these things could be fixed.
But Laura was mixing two very dangerous things, and Mitchie didn't really want to be around when it all blew up in her face.
oOo
'For someone who spent two months with Shane Gray, you haven't got an awful lot to say, have you?,' Sierra commented the next morning on the way into school. 'Laura says she spent the whole summer with him, can you believe that? Did he mention her at all? Well, I mean, that is, if you talked to him, which I don't suppose you did, did you?'
Mitchie was silent.
'Did you??'
'Of course I talked to him. As you said, I spent two months with him, so I was bound to talk to him eventually, wasn't I?'
'Why do you always answer my questions with questions?,' Sierra asked.
'Why do you think that is?.' Mitchie retorted.
Sierra punched her playfully, and the two friends headed in the direction of Algebra.
Damn! Mitchie though to herself. I didn't finish that homework, did I?
oOo
Sitting in Algebra, looking over Laura's shoulder, she could see Mrs Shane Gray scribbled over pages 5 and 6, in pick felt tip marker.
Oh.it
My.
God.
She's never even met him!
