Chapter 1: After 6 months…

Six months have passed. Mitchie's life was now kind of back to normal. After her break up with Shane, the paparazzi followed her everywhere asking for her comment the day after Shane publicly told the press that he and Mitchie are through. Shane never told the reason why they broke up. It lasted for 2 weeks, paps following Mitchie, and they just left her alone after realizing they were not gonna be able to get any statement from her.

It was now summer. It's Camp Rock time! Mitchie was not really looking forward for it. She knew that Connect 3, Shane's band, would be there. But her mom was chosen to be the camp's caterer again and they were kind of short in people so Mitchie was forced to come. Mitchie agreed but asked her mom to not put her there as a camper but just as part of the catering crew. But her mom knew that even though Shane would be there, Mitchie needs the camp and it also makes her happy. So she didn't agree on Mitchie's request. Mitchie would still be helping out at the kitchen but also will be attending Camp Rock classes.

Her mom pulled the catering van at the camp site's parking lot. Then Connie and her daughter with the rest of the crew started to unload all their stuff one by one. There were already a lot of kids swarming around and greeting everybody they knew. A few recognized Mitchie from last year and waved or said hi to her. Mitchie was kind enough to respond to them. But she kind of totally lost it when her friends finally spotted her.

"Mitchie!" Caitlyn Geller, Mitchie's best friend in camp called out to her. And following her were Ella, Peggy and Tess Tyler. Yep! Tess Tyler. Tess and Mitchie came to accept their differences and became friends by the end of last year's camp. They bumped to each other at certain celebrity events whenever Mitchie came with Shane.

"Hey guys! Oh my gosh! I missed you!" Mitchie hugged each one of them. "Hey mom. Is it okay if I hang out with the girls first and help out later?"

"Sure honey! Take your time! We're fine!" Connie called out to her daughter.

"Thanks mom!" And Mitchie got her stuff and settled to the cabin that she shared with the girls.

By the time Mitchie and the girls left the arrival area for the campers, a black limo pulled up where in it carries Shane, Nate and Jason. Connect 3. They were gonna be teaching in certain classes this time. Shane would still be teaching Hip Hop Dance. Nate was assigned on Production and Jason was assigned to Instrument Appreciation particularly on guitar.

The three pop stars got out of the limo and was greeted by Shane's uncle, Brown Cesario.

"There he is! Hey pop star!" Brown greeted Shane enthusiastically.

"Hey." Shane replied lowly but not disrespectful. He was not really looking forward on Camp Rock. Actually he was not looking forward on seeing Mitchie. He wasn't still over her. She was his first and his only love.

Brown understood. He knew the situation. He does hear camp gossip.

"Hey Nate! Jason!" Brown now turned to the other members of Connect 3.

"Hey uncle Brown!" they both hugged him. "I missed this place." Nate said.

"Was I supposed to say that I missed it too?" Jason asked dumbly. Well that's Jason. Nate simply smacked his forehead due to Jason's dumb comments.

"It's alright kiddo." Brown told him. "Now let me lead you three to your cabin. Shall we?" And he lead them to their cabin. It was only three cabins away from Mitchie's.

"Hey Mitch. What's up? You look 'not excited I am here'…" Peggy commented.

"Well, Shane's here that is." Caitlyn blurted out. Uh-oh.

Caitlyn and Mitchie became close over camp and continued their friendship after camp. They we're always meeting up half-way across each other's states. Mitchie is from New Jersey while Caitlyn was from Massachusetts. When Shane and Mitchie were still dating, Caitlyn always hang out with them or with the other Connect 3 members. The five of them have grown closer over those 6 months. Caitlyn and Nate tried to have a relationship but they were always on-off. But in the end they stayed friends. But by the time Shane and Mitchie broke up, the connection between the five friends ended too.

"You're not yet over him?" Ella asked dumbly.

Mitchie didn't reply. She was quite stunned on Cait's slip.

"Mitch, sorry. I slipped." Caitlyn apologized. She knew Mitchie still hasn't gotten over Shane. He was her first and only love. She was trying to move on but with no luck.

"It's okay. They're my friends too." Mitchie tried to smile. "Well, I have decided…"

"On what?" Tess asked.

"That I am going to enjoy this summer. Even though Shane's here." Mitchie decided.

"Atta girl!" Tess called and raised her right hand waiting for a high five from Mitch. "What? Don't you know high five?"

"I do. But are you really Tess?" Mitchie joked.

"I have behaved myself from being the camp's diva you know." Tess replied. "And I don't care how old school I get now."

"Atta girl!" Mitchie called back to her. They now did a high five. "Hey. I'm just gonna go and check on my mom. See you at dinner!" Mitchie now was leaving their cabin.

"Alright!" the girls called.

At Connect 3's cabin, Shane was in a bad mood. The past few months, he has been back on his assy jerk self. Nate and Jason understood his situation but they were kind of afraid of what's going to happen at camp now that Mitchie's also here. So they went too.

"Hey dude… You alright?" Nate called to Shane.

"I dunno. I don't think I am ready to face her. I'm afraid I gonna see that she has already moved on and fell out of love with me." Shane told them honestly.

At times like this, Jason was quite sensitive. He has always the right words to say. "Shane it's alright. If you see that she's already moved on, be happy for her. If you really love her, set her free and you also move on with your life."

"You're right Jase… I know… But I can't, I just can't…" Shane was already in the verge of his tears but stopped them. "Hey. I'm just gonna head out. I promise I won't do anything stupid. I just need some fresh air."

Nate and Jason nodded.

Shane headed for the docks. It was his and Mitchie's favorite spot. As he approached the canoes, he noticed someone sitting by the lake. Mitchie.

He didn't know what to do. Am I ready to face her? After everything? No. Not yet Shane. Before Mitchie turned around. Shane already left.
