Okay, I'm back once again! Sorry for the long break! I've been super busy with school and drama and stuff, and I was really trying to focus on that, but the other day I totally had some free time and was having a major Jonas Brothers day and started to write and I know this chapter isn't as awesome as it could be, but I really wanted to give y'all something after such a long time! I'd also like to thank my three mean-girls, you know who you are! I hope I didn't do to terribly with what you gave me. I really loved writing about them and I can't wait to work more with them! And to my inspiration for Scarrlett, you are amazing and I know that this isn't how you would act. Lolz! Thank you for reading and I can't wait to hear from y'all!
Disclaimer-I do not own CAMP ROCK, however, I do own the tour program from last summer from the CAMP ROCK TOUR, and I've been reading it a lot as of late! Enjoy!
Chapter Three
"Hey Mitch! I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall today. Scarrlett and Tanya are coming and they really want to meet you! Catch me back!" I said enthusiastically into my cell. Scarrlett, Tanya and I always went shopping the week before school together and since Mitchie had just moved here I had thought it would be a good idea to invite her.
"So is she coming?" Scarrlett asked from my bad. Her mother had dropped her off at my place early this morning on her way to work. We were having a sleepover tonight and just chilling out.
"Wait a few. She has to call me back," I told her spinning in my swivel chair. My phone buzzed. "Hello?"
"Hey Tay! Sorry I didn't catch you earlier, I was talking to Sierra. I'd love to go to the mall! What time?" She asked eagerly.
"Can you come over now? And can you sleep over tonight?" I asked watching Scarrlett as she looked through the photo album of Camp Rock photos Mitchie and I had put together two days ago.
"Sure! I'll be there in ten!" She said, and I could already hear her pulling a bag out of her closet.
"Awesome! See you in a few!" I told her hanging up and tapping Scarrlett on the shoulder as she looked at the one of me and Mitchie on the dock with our guitars. "Mitchie's gonna be here in a few. Tanya should be here in a second too," I commented.
"Ya. She said she needed some new dresses for school and stuff. I need some boots and a new CD player. You?" She asked flipping the page.
"Clothes. Sheet music. The usual school supplies. Nothing too out of the ordinary," I told her as the doorbell rang. "Let yourself in!" I yelled knowing that it was Tanya.
"Hey!" Tanya yelled as she came up the stairs.
"Hey Tan. How are you?" Scarrlett asked softly. Or at least, softly for her.
"Good! How are you?" Tanya asked her plunking her sleeping bag and backpack in the corner of the room.
"Pretty good! Ready to go," Scarrlett told me, and Tanya nodded before turning to me.
"Is Mitchie coming?" She asked. Out of the two of them Tanya was the more excited to meet Mitchie. Scarrlett seemed excited to me, but in a more subdued way.
"Did somebody say my name?" Mitchie asked walking into my room with a small, shy smile.
"Mitch!" I said going over to her and giving her a hug. "Mitchie, this is Scarrlett and Tanya. Scar, Tan, this is Mitchie," I told them gesturing as I said each of their names.
"Hi," Mitchie said quietly.
"Hey Mitchie!" Tanya said brightly sifting through her purse for lip gloss.
"Hi!" Scarrlett greeted quietly, but still chipper and polite.
"So are we going or what?" I asked as soon as Mitchie put her things down. Scarrlett was up in an instant, plaid tote bag in hand and tugging at me hand. I laughed and let her lead me downstairs and into my mother's car where she was waiting for us.
"What is this song?" Scarrlett asked as I cranked up the volume in the car. Mitchie and I smiled at each other.
"I'd Lie!" We both squealed before we started singing. Tanya was bobbing her head to the music and Scarrlett was listening to me and Mitchie sing, a contemplative look on her face.
"I'll call you when we're done! Bye Mom!" I told my mom as the four of us hopped out of the car.
We walked right into TARGET first thing. Even though some people might have thought it was a rip-off store, we loved it because you could find good clothes cheap. As it turned out we were all able to find at least one outfit if not two for each of us to buy. Scarrlett had made up her mind to buy jeans and tee-shirts, while Tanya, Mitchie and I mixed and matched. I picked up a few patterned pieces and Mitchie stuck with solid while Tanya went with floral prints.
We walked out of the store and into the mall and I swept around with my eyes. There were a few cute guys joking around near Pac-Sun and over near the fountain were the local plastics. Jennifer Abrams, Kelly Lincoln and Jessica Milen made up the group. After seeing Mean Girls, Scarrlett, Tanya and I had begun to call them the Plastics. Jennifer led them. She could be very pretty, if she wasn't so mean all the time. She had black hair that was pin straight past her shoulders, although I had a feeling she took the time to straighten it every morning because it had been super curly when we were in kindergarten. She had crystal blue eyes and had horrible vision. When we were in second grade she had had to have glasses for a year and even though she mostly wore contacts these days, I had caught her wearing her glasses last year in the copier room when she thought she was alone. Her right hand woman was Jessica. Jess had long brown hair that fell in waves to her shoulder blades. Her hazel eyes were captivating, but when she was mad, you could see the threat in them. She had moved to Somerville in fifth grade and had been inseparable with Jennifer ever since. The last edition to the trio was Kelly. Kelly was five feet tall with wavy brown hair with blonde highlights that went to her mid-back and brown eyes. She had been added last year. All through middle school she had been a bit of an outcast. She had braces and pimples, but after the summer she had come to school looking like some kind of model and Jennifer had instantly accepted her into the group.
"Who are they?" Mitchie asked from next to me looking over at them.
"The Plastics. Don't go near them if you know what's good for you," Scarrlett offhandedly warned as they sauntered past the boys, making it less than obvious that they were trying to pick them up. Mitchie nodded and Tanya led all of us onto the next store. We all got our school supplies at STAPLES and began out walk out. Tanya had just cracked a joke that had the other three of us laughing crazy as we walked, and I accidentally bumped into someone.
"Sorry!" I said holding my hand out. Jennifer Abrams glared up and me.
"You should be. Do you people even watch where you're going?" She spat brushing herself off.
"That isn't very nice," Mitchie commented. Jennifer looked her up and down.
"And you are?" Jennifer asked.
"Mitchie Torres. I'm new here," Mitchie explained.
"I know you. You sang with Shane Grey on Hot Tunes!" Jessica said almost excitedly.
"You had a good voice. Not as good as Jennifer of course, but it was okay," Kelly said. I resisted the urge to snort. Every year for the talent show they did a song and Jennifer was actually the worst singer of the group.
"Thanks," Mitchie said shyly.
"You should come eat lunch with us sometime," Jennifer invited coyly. Thankfully, Mitchie knew exactly what she was trying.
"No thanks. I've already got some lunch buddies, but thanks for asking!" Mitchie said as we all began to walk away leaving Jennifer seething.
"Mitchie, you are my new freaking hero," Tanya told her as we walked out to the car. "I don't think I've ever seen Jennifer want someone in her crew so badly."
"Thanks. I just don't need any drama this year," Mitchie told her and I put my arm around her.
Mom ordered pizza that night and we pigged out in my room. My phone rang just as we were about to put in Harry Potter.
"Hello?" I asked handing the DVD to Scarrlett to let her start it.
"Hey Taylor, do you know where Mitchie is? She didn't pick up her phone when I called," Shane complained. I laughed at his almost panicked voice.
"Calm down Shay, she's right here. We're having a sleepover!" I laughed at him. The other girls looked at me. Mitchie came right over and asked if I could speaker-phone the call.
"Hey Shane!" She said happily. I loved to see how her whole face lit up when she spoke to him.
"Hey Mitch. No phone tonight, huh," Shane commented.
"Girl's night Shane! Make it fast, we have some Potter to watch!" I told him.
"Cool down Taylor. You ready for next month?" Shane asked.
"Did Mitch agree?" I asked. Mitchie looked at me and nodded and I sighed. "I guess I'm gonna have to be. Now hurry up lover-boy!" I told him as I took speaker phone off and let Mitchie have the phone. She came back a few minutes later and held it out to me.
"Thank you for letting me talk to her Taylor," Shane told me sincerely.
"Sure thing Shay. I'll talk to you tomorrow?" I asked.
"Of course. Later sis!"
"C'ya bro!" I told him hanging up.
"Getting cozy with Shane?" Scarrlett asked with a tense smile on her face. Mitchie looked taken aback.
"What do you mean getting cozy? He's one of my best friends Scar. I thought you might understand that since you are too," I told her getting defensive.
"Wow. I couldn't tell. Seems like you have a new one at the moment," Scarrlett spat. I grasped her arm.
"Hey! That was totally uncalled for!" I told her dragging her into the hallway shutting the door behind us.
"Why? You're all buddy-buddy with Mitchie. I didn't see you at all this summer and now I get the chance to and you're suddenly besties with someone else!" Scarrlett hissed at me.
"First off, you know going away for the summer wasn't my choice, and second, how can you say that. Did you think I'd go off to camp and not make friends? Mitchie and I may be close, but we went through things. Living in the same cabin for two and a half months makes people that close, but you and me, we're sisters Scar. We have been since kindergarten. I don't know how you could think that I'm ditching you for Mitchie," I told her.
"It looks like you are. And I'm sorry if I seem like I'm being really mean, but I missed you this summer, and it just seems like every time I've talked to you since you got home it's been about camp and all of your new friends. I really just want to get back to being sisters. Me, you and Tanya. The way it was supposed to be," Scarrlett told me.
"Scar, you know that the three of us will always be tight that way, but you have to understand that Mitchie's my sister now too. I know you haven't really been around her all that much, but please give her a chance. I know you'll love her," I told her. Scarrlett sighed.
"Fine. I'm sorry I've been so mean. Sisters?" She asked opening her arms.
"Sisters," I giggled hugging her before going inside. Scarrlett apologized to Mitchie as soon as we got inside and the rest of the night we joked and gossiped and had fun. Mitchie even took out her guitar and we taught Scarrlett and Tanya our original songs and laughed over some of the more insane moments of each other's summers, and in that moment, the four of us fit perfectly. Every piece of the puzzle falling into place and the moment becoming snapshot perfect.
