Woo. Chapter two! Okay as I said before, review. So yeah. Okay. In this chapter is basically where the main plot will start to form, so I swear it will be better after this chapter.

The day after returning home I sat down with my Mom and figured out how to convince her to say yes to recording. I had it all planned out and was waiting this morning with breakfast on the table and waited for her to come down.
"Hey, mom," I said as she walked into the kitchen, "I need to talk to you about something." She gave me a raised her eyebrows and sat down.
"So, what is it now?" She sighed and took a bite of some eggs. "The last time you did this you were trying to convince me to let you go to Camp Rock, so don't say it's nothing."
"Well," I started pulling out a folder, "The night of Final Jam, the Representatives from Hot Tunes Records were discussing the next Connect 3 Cd and they talked to me and Caitlyn." I handed her the business card and then continued, "They said they wanted Caitlyn and I to do the duet I did with Shane. Well, obviously they want Caitlyn to help produce it and mix the music." She seemed to still be listening and she didn't interrupt. Always a good sign with her. "Well, Caitlyn's parents have already agreed, and well, I need you and Dad to agree."
My mom sat the card down and then put her arms on the table. "Mitchie, I am glad they liked you but, I don't know about this."
"Mom, it is safe. Besides that Connect 3 will be there and you can be there every second of every meeting or anything we do. So they can tell if they try to cheat us on something." I looked at her hoping she would say yes.
She sighed and then said, "Well, we'll see what you father says. How long do we have to tell them?"
I hesitated and finally said, "Well, they want us to start recording it in five days." At this point my Mom seemed to be getting mad.
"Why didn't you tell us this before? You should have not waited till the last minute. Besides that you'll be missing school and what if things go wrong?" She stood up and then sat down in the chair next to me. She calmed down and then sighed.
"I'm sorry," I offered and then stood up. I made my way across the room and as soon as I was out the door I ran up to my room and sat on my bed. I thought about e-mailing Shane but he was in the recording studio right now and couldn't talk.
"Why did I have to pick the superstar boyfriend?" I said to my room. Sighing I sat down at my computer and it made several beeps as it turned on and finally brought up the internet. "So, Larry, give me an e-mail." Ever since my parents had given me their old computer I had been calling it Larry. I'm not sure why but this computer seemed like a Larry Spulinski to me. I opened my email and just as I had guessed Shane had yet to email me.
I heard footsteps outside my door and my mom came in and sat on my bed. "Mitchie," she started out slowly, "I have talked it over with your dad and we agree that you can do this." At that point I squealed so loud I'm sure the neighbors could hear me.
"THANK YOU!" I said hugging my Mom. I couldn't believe they are letting me do this. "Thank you. You'll not regret it."
"Hold on there," She said standing up, "Any sign of something we don't like and it's all over. Got it?"
I nodded and then ran out of my room and down the stair. "I'm going to call Caitlyn!" I yelled over my shoulder already down the stairs. Caitlyn was the only friend I could call more than five minutes. Everyone else lived to far away and if I actually called them we would end up talking for ages. I punched in Caitlyn's number and then waited for her to pick up. Rinnngnggg Ringggg Rinnnggggg. On the third ring she finally picked up.
"Hello?" Caitlyn said bored into the phone.
"Caitlyn! It's Mitchie," I said barely containing myself.
"Hey, Mitchie, Finally you call," She said jokingly.
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"My parents are letting me do it!" I screamed and she screamed on the other side.
"That's awesome! We should call the record company and tell them right now!"
"Okay. I'll call them as soon as I hang up with you."
"Well, hang up now!" I heard the dial tone and hung up the phone laughing. I pulled the card out and called the number written on it.
"Hello, this is the office of Dan Bunly," A high pitched female voice with a major New Jersey accent. "What can I do for you?"
"This is Mitchie Torres. I am calling to speak with Mr. Bunly." I said holding back a laugh. I mean Bunly..Really?
"Oh, yes I've been told to automatically connect you to him. He is in a recording studio right now and may take a few moments for him to answer. Thank you for calling have a nice day." I heard a click and then my phone started ringing again. Wait, he was in a recording studio...He must be with Shane. I smiled and then the phone was answered.
"Hello," I voice that I remembered from the night of Final Jam said. "This is Mr. Bunly."
I stifled a laugh as I said, "Hello, this is Mitchie Torres. I was told to call you when my parents decided." Somewhere in the background I heard people talking.
"Oh, Hello Ms. Torres, and what have your parents decided?" I heard a smack somewhere and then a shushing noise.
"Well, they say I can do it but they have to be there." I heard someone make a clapping noise this time.
"Shane can you please hold in your issues you seem to be having right now?" I held in a laugh and then he said to me, "Yes, well, wonderful! We will send you your schedule and I will see you and Caitlyn early Friday morning."
"Okay, Goodbye," I said cheerfully.
"Have a nice day," Then the phone hung up. I busted out laughing and then went up to my room. I sat down at my keyboard and started playing a few notes.
As I played I didn't notice how much time had passed. I started singing to a very familiar tune.
This is real,
This is me,
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be,
Now, gonna let the light shine on me.
I sighed and then my computer beeped with a new message. I ran over there and pulled up a message
Hey, Mitchie! We just got done recording for the day and tomorrow I have a little surprise for you. Just look for it and you'll see it. So, I heard that you are going to record with me. I can't wait. I mean, I know it's only been a day but it feel like an eternity already. ON another topic, have you noticed Nate and Caitlyn seem to be getting closer? They keep on calling and texting each other. Nate says he is just being friendly but I think they are about to be more than friends. Oh well, so be ready tomorrow.
Love,
Shane
I clicked reply and then started typing quickly and wondered what surprise he is even talking about.
Hey, pop star. I noticed you knew. I could hear some really odd noises when I called that sounded like celebrating. HAHA. Now what are you talking about? What surprise? Does my mom know? Should I be worried? When do I need to look? Why are you torturing me? Whatever, it better be a good surprise. About Caitlyn and Nate, I haven't heard Caitlyn say anything but the day after Final Jam they seemed to be VERY close during breakfast. So...I would try asking him? I don't know. They would make a cute couple.
From,
Bored.
I clicked send and stood up to get ready for bed when I had already gotten another email from Shane.
You'll see tomorrow after school.
I looked at the computer weird and then rolled my eyes laughing and then I remembered. School started tomorrow. "Ugh," I moaned to myself.
