Mitchie's POV
We finally reached camp rock after the hour long drive.
"So are you excited?" Mom said as we got out of the car.
"Just a little bit...okay I admit I am very excited, I mean who wouldn't be! If you love music then Camp Rock is a place to be" I got out helping mom with all the bags before continuing.
"And mom I really couldn't thank you enough for this" I said truly meaning it.
"Oh it's no problem sweetie as long as you help me out in the kitchen".
"Sure mum no problem".
"Okay then let's get settled in the cabins." Mom said heading towards the cabins. After settling in I got out in order to explore the place after all this is where I will be for a while.
Soon I found myself heading towards the ground where there was a small stage and saw all the kids standing there and talking, everyone seemed to be busy with something, a few of them were chatting whereas a few of them were just jamming and having a good time. I sighed feeling content, happy and felt a sense of belongingness, all at once.
I was just looking at the all these cool kids and felt like it was school all over again but pushed aside that feeling. I was walking backwards when I felt that I bumped into someone.
"Oh! I am so sorry I wasn't-" I started apologising immediately in case I harmed the person.
"Hey, hey its okay plus its my fault too, I wasn't looking. I'm Caitlyn", the curly haired girl said extending a hand towards me for a handshake giving me a warm smile.
"I'm Mitchie" I replied shaking her hand.
"So Mitchie what do you do?" She asked.
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"Oh sorry my bad" she laughed."I meant everybody here seems to be good at something like singing, writing or dancing. So what're you good at, what do you do Mitchie?" she explained.
"Oh um.. well I wouldn't say that I'm good or anything but I mostly sing and write" I said sheepishly.
"You sing and write and you aren't snobby, brat, diva or a bitch like a certain few." She said rolling her eyes and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Well then you and me are gonna get along just fine." She added then.
"So what's your talent Cait?" I asked but instead of answering she just smiled at me.
"What?" I laughed.
"You just called me Cait instead of my name."
"I'm sorry I didn't realise that. It just sorta rolled out of my tongue". I said already feeling comfortable in her company.
"You apologize a lot" she laughed. "Its no problem and I sorta like it too" she winked at me which again made me laugh. She is quite funny.
"Oh and to answer your question I mix songs, I hope to become a producer far in the future one day". She said and pulled out her phone out of her pocket playing me one of her mix.
"Wow! You're really good" I complimented her.
"Now that you've heard me you gotta sing me something" She demanded.
"I-"
"Hello hello future rock stars, attention here everybody" Dee la Duke, our counsellor appeared on stage interrupting me and apparently everyone else.
"You're off the hook for now" Caitlyn said as we were walking towards the platform where Dee stood.
"Well hello there everyone. I'm Dee la Duke but you all can call me Dee" she said.
"Hi Dee!" Everyone said at the same time.
"Here at camp we sing" she said in a singsong voice. "So lemme hear y'all again" she encouraged.
"Hi Dee!" Everybody sang.
"Hmm... not bad not bad, a little pitchy here and there but we'll fix that by final jam" She said.
"So this year I see we have some new faces as well some old ones. And I'm so glad about that. I just wanna say welcome to camp rock y'all and have fun exploring music and we hope to see as many of you as we can performing in all the activities and jam session we have set out and most of all have fun." And with that everyone scattered and went to doing their own thing.
Since its the first day we didn't have any classes, we were allowed to just hang out but were warned to not go into the woods side since it was getting dark already. I spent some time with Caitlyn and then headed towards our respective cabins.
"So Mitchie,honey are you excited to perform tomorrow?" Mom asked later that night while going through one of her cook books.
"Uhh... I'm not sure mom, I mean all these people...they're so different than me and I don't know if I can fit in with them."
"Everyone's different than others Mitchie, and so what if you don't fit in, you should stand out anyway instead of trying to be just like anyone else."
"Hmm... Okay I'll think about it. Goodnight mom." I just said so that this conversation ends. She wouldn't understand, nobody does.
"Night sweetie."
Shane's POV
I was just chilling outside my room with my guitar when my uncle came in.
"Have you gotten out today at all?" He asked in his thick British accent.
"And have those screaming girls chase me all around the camp? No thanks I'm good."
"What's up with your attitude. What's wrong with you?"
"Oh I don't know maybe the fact that I have to spend all summer by myself and away from my family." I snapped at him.
"I'm bored out of my mind already and its not even a full day yet." I let out a heavy breath.
"Listen Shane I know you are upset about the deal and everything but you gotta do what you gotta do. Get some rest, big day ahead of ya."
"What deal? Big day?" I was so confused now.
"Oh that deal that the winner of the final jam gets to record a song with Connect 3 and big day tomorrow, you have a dance class to teach." He said shrugging it off as if it wasn't a big deal.
"What?" I shrieked, nobody told me that I had to teach here too.
"You didn't think you'd be just sitting around here all by yourself moping sulking, did ya." I just sighed.
"I wouldn't be a great uncle if I left you by yourself now would I, now if I were you I'd get all the sleep that I can. Good night" and with that he left leaving me with my thoughts. I was dreading tomorrow where I'm gonna have to teach these immatures.
