Caitlyn's Prov

2 weeks later

"Do you have everything? Sun tan lotion, insect repellent, the money we gave you..." My mum listed off all the things she thought I needed, she was surprisingly o.k. about me going to camp I had convinced myself that I was gonna have to get down on my knees and beg for her to let me go.

"I don't know why you gave me money I'm going to camp." I laughed.

"It's "just in case" money sweetheart." She smiled. "I'll miss you, baby."

"I'll miss you too, mum." I smiled pulling her into a hug.

Beep! Beep!

"That'll be Mitchie." I said pulling away from our embrace and putting one of my bags on my shoulder.

"Take care of yourself." She smiled helping me put my other bag on my other shoulder.

"I will, promise. Tell dad I said bye and give him a kiss for me when he gets home from work." I smiled as I made my way to my front door.

"I will." She smiled from the door as I walked down the drive to Mitchie's car. "And don't forget to tell Shane's uncle thank you."

"O.k." I smiled throwing my bags into the trunk of Mitchie's car. "I'll call you when I get there." I said before blowing her a kiss and sliding into the back seat.

"Hi." I beamed as I closed the door.

"Hi, Caity." Mitchie smiled. "Ella's asleep she didn't like the idea of getting up at 6 in the morning so I told her she could sleep when she got in the car and that's what she done once she got in." Mitchie whispered.

"Where are we meeting the guys?" I said through giggles.

"We're meeting at Shane's house. They have to take Jason's car because Shane has so much stuff." Mitchie laughed.

"That's why you love him." I giggled.

"Yeah, I do love him." She smiled dreamily before a look of realisation crossed her face, "I mean...um...ah."

"Aw I heard what you meant, you love him you want to marry him and have his babies." I sang.

"Shut up." Mitchie grumbled as she turned crimson.

*****************************************************************

Soon enough we were following the guys off the motorway onto a country road and minutes later we passed a sign that read "Camp Rock Next Exit" in bright red letters.

"We're nearly there!" I squeaked excitedly waking Ella.

"Nearly where?" Ella grumbled.

"Camp Rock, sleepy head." Mitchie smiled.

"Oh." Ella said much more awake now and sitting straight up on her seat.

We soon pulled into a large parking lot that was completely empty except for one car at the very edge of the lot.

"Looks like we're first here." Mitchie said.

"Wonder who owns that car?" Ella said getting out of the car and pointing to the red convertible.

"That's my uncle's." Shane smiled coming up behind us. "We gotta meet him in his cabin."

"Will we bring the bags?" Mitchie asked.

"No, we'll come back for them in a while." Shane smiled before leading us towards a cabin on the furthest side of the parking lot.

********************************************************************

"Uncle Brown!" Shane called as he led us into the cabin.

"Out here Shane." A thick Australian accent called back.

Shane opened a glass sliding door that led us out on to a deck where a man in his early 30's was sitting on a swinging seat.

"Oh hello." He smiled getting up and walking towards us. "I'm Brown camp director and Shane's uncle." He smiled as he rubbed Shane's hair messing it up.

"Thanks Uncle Brown." Shane moaned fixing his hair. "Let me introduce..." Shane was cut off by his uncle's dismissive tut.

"I don't need you to introduce any one; they're exactly as you described them." Brown smiled before smiling at Ella, "You're Ella." He smiled shaking her hand.

"It's nice to meet you." Ella smiled.

"And you're Caitlyn." He smiled taking his hand from Ella and shaking mine.

"Yeah, that's me. Thanks for letting us come." I smiled.

"And you're Mitchie, love of Shane's life." Brown smiled at Mitchie then at Shane.

"Um...ah...hi." Mitchie said getting redder with every word.

We all laughed at Mitchie and Shane trying to subtly hide their embarrassment.

"And of course I know you's two!" He smiled giving the two other boys a firm hand shake. "I'll go get your cabin keys I'm sure you's just can't wait to get settled in." Brown smiled before disappearing into his cabin. He reappeared moments later with six envelopes, "There are rules about boys and girls sharing cabins so the girls will be in one cabin and boys in another but I promise you's will be close can't separate you love birds too much. He laughed. "Now if you's will excuse me I must go welcome the other campers." And with that he left with us following close behind him.

We tore opened our envelopes quickly as we walked back to the cars to get our bags.

"We're in cabin 16, where are you guys?" Mitchie asked.

"Cabin 18, those cabins are opposite each other so Brown was right we aren't too far apart." Jason smiled.

"I think that's still too far away from you." Nate whispered coming up behind me and putting his arm around my waist.

"What's your schedule like?" I smiled as I cuddled into him.

"Aw, don't worry Caitlyn you'll not be separated from him too long, my uncle made sure our schedules were the same...well apart from the afternoon but that's only one class." Shane said.

"Where's everyone in the afternoon?" Nate asked.

"Well, I told my uncle that the girls have some experience in different areas, like producing, song writing or dancing so Brown agreed to put them in higher level classes in the afternoon...while we teach." Shane added the last part in quickly.

"Say what?" Nate yelled.

"Excuse me?" Jason yelled as he turned around to face Shane sweeping Ella off her feet as his arm was around her waist.

"Well, it was sort of Brown's asking price." Shane stuttered. "But we'll be teaching guitar and we're only teaching first years." Shane clarified.

Jason seemed satisfied with Shane's answer but Nate still didn't look convinced.

"Shane, I don't know how to teach anyone." Nate mumbled nervously.

"It'll be easy." Shane tried sounding reassuring.

"You can even practice your teaching skills on me." I added that seemed to bring him round as his bright smile returned.

"Well, I'm glad that's cleared up." Shane smiled.

"Jeez, how long were we in Brown's cabin?" Mitchie laughed as we noticed the parking lot was now full of cars, buses, people and even limos.

"Who would get a limo to camp?" Ella said disapproval clear in her voice. "Talk about showing off."

"You'll get a lot of people showing off here even if they don't arrive in limos." Shane said rolling his eyes slightly.

"What does that mean?" I asked confusedly.

"It means a lot of kids that come here think they own the place just because their parents are famous or are important in the music business." Nate explained.

"Oh great, I thought we left high school behind." Mitchie frowned.

"Don't worry about it Mitchie. We're here to have fun and no one is gonna ruin it for us." I smiled reassuringly.

There were cheers of agreement before we started battling our way through the crowds to get to our bags.

**********************************************************************************

The cabin was simple and elegant with nearly everything trimmed in white lace; it had three beds, two wardrobes, a small desk in the corner and a bathroom.

"I'll share a wardrobe with someone." I suggested.

"I'll share with you." Mitchie smiled but it wasn't as big as Ella's smile as she realised she had a whole wardrobe to herself.

Once we unpacked and freshened up a bit we headed over to the boy's cabin.

When we let ourselves into the cabin we gasped in horror, somehow the boys had managed to turn the elegant cabin into a pig sty, there were feathers everywhere, their bags were lying opened with clothes hanging out of them and the wardrobe doors were opened with piles of clothes that looked like they were just thrown in them.

"Attack!" Shane yelled jumping out from behind a wardrobe door.

It was an ambush, we spun around as we heard the door close behind us and found Jason standing with a pillow guarding the door, there was no way out as pillows started flying at us.

It was a surprise the police weren't called as our shrieks and screams must have given the impression that there was a massacre going on.

"If you don't stop, we'll never kiss any of you's again!" Ella screamed at the top of her lungs as Jason backed her into a corner.

At once the boys dropped their pillows.

"Aw thank gawd." Mitchie sighed as she came out from under a bed.

"Now we know where all the feathers came from." I smiled as I blew one off my nose.

"Yeah we got a bit carried away." Jason smiled shaking out his hair.

"A bit?" Ella laughed.

"Come on we'll help you guys tidy up." Mitchie said.

After we finished tiding, with the girls doing most of the work as the boys decided tiding meant sweeping everything under the beds so it was out of sight, Nate grabbed his guitar from under his bed, "Come on I have teaching to practice." He smiled taking me by the hand.

"Where are we going for you to teach me?" I asked as we started walking away from the cabin.

"I sorta have my own secret spot." He smiled as he guided us towards the wooded area that surrounded the camp.

We followed a small dirt path with me stumbling most of the way until we came out into a large clearing that had the widest variety of wild flowers I've ever seen, the colour was broken by a fallen tree on the nearest side of the clearing which lay beside a small bubbling stream.

"Aw, it's beautiful!" I gushed.

"Yeah, it's prettier when the sun is shining a bit more the flowers reflect the light onto the tree and it looks like a tiny rainbow. I've never brought anyone here before it was my get away spot but I wanted to share it with you." Nate smiled before bending down and kissing me softly.

"I didn't know you were a romantic, Mr Rushton." I smiled jokingly. "Like I didn't know you were a musician." I added playfully prodding him.

"You never asked." He laughed before taking me by the hand and leading me towards the fallen tree.

He smiled as he sat down on the grass with his back on the tree and patted the space between his legs, "Sit."

I laughed as I did as I was told and when I was sitting comfortably Nate place his guitar on my lap and took my left hand and place it on the neck of the guitar and the other on the strings that were across the hole.

"This is an A." He smiled moulding my hands on the neck and then using his other hand to help mine strum the guitar.

"And this is a G." His breath on my neck made me shiver in a good way as he moulded my hand once again. "Now you try and do those two notes by yourself."

I was fairly confident and played the two notes again like I was taught.

"That was really good." He beamed before kissing me on the lips with a bit more passion than before.

"I hope not all your students will get this type of attention." I laughed when we pulled away.

"No one else holds a candle to you, Caity." He smiled before kissing me again.
