Chapter Three

"Wake up you silly sleepy head!" Caitlyn said while she pulled on a pair of good walking shoes.

"Five more minutes." Mitchie mumbled pulling the covers over her head.

"I don't have five minutes to spare. If we don't get down to the cafeteria now, my favorite muffins are gonna be gone!" Caitlyn said standing in front of the other brunette's bed.

"Boohoo." Mitchie whined mockingly.

Caitlyn huffed and then yanked the covers off of Mitchie completely. "Up! Don't make me get your mommy in here."

"You wouldn't." Mitchie said glaring at her friend.

"Oh I would."

"Ok Ok! I'm up you whiney baby." Mitchie groaned.

Caitlyn smiled victoriously and skipped towards the door. "Make sure you put on your tennis shoes. We've got some nature walk thing for our first activity."

"Oh joy." Mitchie sighed as she made her way to the bathroom to get ready.

Mitchie tiredness somewhat faded when she began eating breakfast with her friends. The loudness in the dining hall pretty much prevented any sleepy campers from dozing off even a little that morning. Mitchie most likely wouldn't have been able to sleep anyway due to the annoying vibration in her pocket.

what the hell did you do to these eggs?

Mitchie looked up from her cell phone and over at the table across from hers. She watched the frowning blonde who was wearily poking at the scrambled eggs. Tess looked up from the eggs and caught Mitchie's gaze. Tess simply put on an innocent smile before returning to the conversation going on at her table.

"You alright Mitchie?" Caitlyn asked lightly nudging the other brunette in her side. "Hey! Are you texting her?" She whispered peering over at Mitchie's phone.

"I'm fine." Mitchie replied offering her friend a small smile.

"Uh huh. But are you seriously texting Tess?" Caitlyn asked again.

Mitchie shrugged. "Well…yeah. But it's not like anything important. Just her being 'too cool' you know. "

Caitlyn looked at Mitchie skeptically but decided to leave it alone for now. Mitchie sighed and turned her attention back to her phone.

aww good morning to u too tess.

Tess rolled her eyes at the received text. She was about to reply when she could hear the unmistaken sound of Mitchie's laughter from the table across from her. She looked up at the laughing brunette and slightly frowned. She thought about last year and how it wouldn't be Caitlyn and the others she'd be laughing with, but with her. She wondered if Mitchie's laughter then was a genuine as it was now. Tess shook her head at herself and decided to push those thoughts to the back of her mind and not worry about the brunette that seemed to be constantly on her mind for the past few hours.

-

"Good morning campers!" Chip, one of the counselors, shouted into his megaphone.

"Good morning Chip." The teens groggily replied. Chip wasn't exactly everyone's favorite. He was always a little bit too happy in the mornings and some kids still weren't fully awake.

"Alright. So not only will we be hiking..." Chip looked around at some of the expectant faces and the others that were trying to keep their eyes open. "We will be hiking AND singing!"

Everyone groaned in response.

"Ah. Where's your Camp Rock spirit?" Chip asked already beginning to walk backwards up the hill. "Sander! Cell phone up mister!" He shouted pointing at a shocked Sander. "Don't let me catch any of you with a cell phone out during this activity." With that said, they all began hiking up the slope and singing "She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain."

Mitchie was already annoyed by the fact that they had to sing and hike at the same time, and when she started to feel tiny pebbles hitting her backside, she became even more annoyed. She whipped her head around in search of the culprit after the fifth small rock had hit her. But everyone seemed to be minding their own business and singing. She faced forward again and continued walking with Caitlyn and opened her mouth to sing when she felt the rock hit the back of her head this time.

"Ow!" She said this time turning completely around and rubbing the back of her head.

"Um something wrong?" Caitlyn asked.

"Someone is throwing stuff at me." Mitchie whined.

Caitlyn laughed and turned her head to search for someone who looked suspicious.

"Tess maybe?"

Mitchie's eyes widened at the thought and immediately searched for blonde hair and spotted Tess not too far back. "I thought she was in front somewhere." Mitchie pulled out her phone angrily, now walking backwards hoping Caitlyn would be her eyes for her.

um seriously how old r we 7?

oh what are you talking about now?

u know exactly what im talking about! stop throwing shit at me!

moi? throwing stuff at you? thats crazy torres.

"Ugh! She's is so annoying!" Mitchie cried out in aggravation and nearly fell over since she didn't notice the walking had stopped.

"I think she likes you." Caitlyn said teasingly and chuckled at her friend that nearly lost her balance.

Mitchie turned her head away from the other brunette in attempt to hide the blush that was creeping up in her cheeks. "Why am I blushing!?" She thought to herself and noticed the blonde was making her way towards her. "So what's with the stopping?" Mitchie said trying to change the subject.

"Someone got sick up there." Caitlyn replied standing on her toes to try and see over the others.

"I told you there was something wrong with the food." Tess said coolly and crossed her arms over her chest.

Mitchie's brows knitted in annoyance with the blonde girl and she seriously had to restrain herself from hitting her. "Maybe kissing her would get her to shut up… Whoa! Where'd that come from?" She thought to herself.

"No one asked for you to give your two cents Tess." Mitchie said hearing some "Oohs" from the people who had somehow circled around them.

"Well atleast I'm being honest. Don't need anymore liars running around do we know?" Tess countered also gaining some "Oohs." The blonde raised an eyebrow in challenge.

"Ok Miss I think I'm better than everyone else." Mitchie replied also folding her arms over her chest.

Tess scowled at the brunette and tried to ignore the others who were gathered around interestedly. "One hit loser."

"Fake blonde."

"Cook's daughter!"

"Ouch Tess. That hurt." Mitchie replied putting her hand over her heart in mock sadness. "Atleast my mom doesn't send me away to as many camps as possible cause she doesn't want to deal with me!" Mitchie heard herself say before she could even think about what she was saying.

Both girls went wide-eyed at the statement and whispering could be heard amongst the crowd. Without a second thought, the backside of Tess' hand collided with the side of Mitchie's face. The slap was so hard it echoed throughout the woods. The people around gasped in surprise and Mitchie turned her head back towards the blonde girl, lightly touching where she'd been hit.

"Mitchie are you-" Caitlyn started but didn't finish because Mitchie had then slapped Tess back twice as hard.

Another gasp was emitted from the crow and before Mitchie could react, Tess had lunged herself at her and began wildly swinging her arms.

"Cat fight!"

The two girls were merely flailing there arms about, trying to claw at the other girls face, not really succeeding. Caitlyn tried to pull Mitchie away but only managed to get knocked to the ground in attempt. The rest just seemed pretty excited for the 'brawl' that was taking place and were clapping and chanting "Fight!"

"Ow!" Tess shrieked when Mitchie had gotten a hold of a lock of blonde hair. "Let go you bitch!"

Mitchie bit down on her lip to keep from screaming out in pain when Tess managed to seize some of her hair. She whimpered in pain, but refused to give up until the other girl did.

But as soon as the 'fight' had started, it came to an end when Chip made his way through the circle of kids.

"What in the wor-Mitchie Torres and Tess Tyler! You stop that right now!" Chip shouted pulling off an enraged looking blonde. Caitlyn restrained Mitchie by her arms and tried to get her to calm down. "Now what is the meaning of this roughhousing?"

"Sir she started-" Tess began but was cut off by the distraught counselor.

"You know what. I don't give a hoot which one of you started it. Both of you are going to Brown's right now!" He said sternly and the two girls angrily sighed and made their way down the hill with Chip in tow. "As for you all…get to the top of the hill and wait till I get back."

Once they reached Brown's office, Chip wasted no time in telling what he witnessed.

"Fighting?! I thought you two put your differences aside last year?" Brown spoke as he paced in front of the teenage girls.

Both girls scoffed at this which caused Brown to glare.

"She started it." Mitchie said glaring at the girl beside her.

"No you did!" Tess countered irritably and looked as if she could strike again.

"Enough! You both know how much I hate being uncool. But it doesn't matter which one of you started it. It ends now. Both of you are suspended from further activity today and your parents will be notified about this." Brown said firmly and sat down at his desk.

"But Brown-" Both girls whined but he held up his hand to stop their complaining.

"No buts. Now back to your cabins for the remainder of the day. And don't expect me to be so nice if this happens again, understood?"

Silence.

"I said, understood?"

"Yes Brown." Both girls mumbled and then exited the office.

Mitchie and Tess remained silent as they headed towards their cabins. Every now and then they would sneak glances at the other when they thought the other wasn't looking and then quickly look away.

"This is your fault." Tess mumbled.

Mitchie raised her brows in surprise and laughed. "My fault?! Are you kidding me? You totally slapped me first!"

"You provoked me." Tess said narrowing her eyes at the girl walking beside her.

"You were throwing rocks at me!" Mitchie said stopping in front of the blonde girl.

"Oh boohoo. 'You were throwing rocks at me'." Tess mockingly whined. "Get used to it. Cause people will be throwing more than rocks at you when they realize how much you suck."

"You're full of it Tess." Mitchie sighed rolling her eyes.

"Whatever. I hate you." Tess whispered and the brunette stepped closer to her.

There faces were inches apart and even with the recent events, Mitchie still felt the strange urge to kiss the blonde. "I hate you more." Mitchie whispered back and her lips were now centimeters away from Tess'.

Tess began blushing at the closeness and the charged moment that was taking place. She couldn't comprehend it nor did she want to. She wasn't going to deny that Mitchie was a very attractive girl, but they hated each other right? So there should be no charged moments, blushing, or closeness of any kind between them. She chanced a look at the brunette's inviting lips and nearly fell into what seemed like a delightful trap. Before she could be impulsive twice in a day, she just roughly brushed by Mitchie and went on her way.

Mitchie turned her head and watched the other girl disappear into her cabin and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Feeling lightheaded, she made her way into her own cabin and sat on her bed. "What the hell was that?" She asked herself, hoping her heart would stop beating so rapidly in her chest. Sure Mitchie had had charged moments like those before, but they were with Shane, a boy. She buried her face in her hands, but hit the spot where she'd been hit and screamed in frustration. As much as she didn't want to, she had to tell Caitlyn about what was going on with her. Hopefully she would have some wise advice or something to help Mitchie not think she was losing her mind.

-

Later on that day, Mitchie finally had the chance to talk to Caitlyn one on one. She was a little nervous about what she would be revealing, but she just hoped the other girl would understand. So when Caitlyn came into the cabin before dinner, Mitchie stood up and was about to talk until the other brunette interrupted her.

"Before you say anything, you gotta see this." Caitlyn said opening her laptop.

"Um ok. What exactly am I looking at?" Mitchie asked fidgeting with her hands. Her nerves were already on the edge with Tess drama and putting off her 'confession' wasn't making her feel any better.

Caitlyn pulled up and typed in "Mitchie Torres in Cat Fight". And surprisingly, there was a video of her and Tess going at it. Mitchie frowned at this. Who honestly had the time to do stuff like that? Now the label would definitely find out and she would probably be in some trouble with the company. She groaned and rubbed her temples, collapsing on the bed.

"What'd your mom say?"

"Well she was busy when she called me. But she told me we would talk later." I sighed.

"I'm sorry. I know this sucks." Caitlyn said sadly smiling. "So what were you going to say when I walked in?"

Mitchie blushed and sat up looking seriously at her friend. "Uh…well it's about Tess."

"Oh god. Did she attack you again?!"

Mitchie chuckled and shook her head. "No. It's just earlier when we were walking back from Brown's, I swear we had 'the moment'."

Caitlyn looked at Mitchie confusedly. "The moment? Please elaborate."

"Umm… you know when you're about to..." Mitchie gulped and took a deep breath. "Kiss someone." She whispered and Caitlyn was staring with a shocked expression.

"Wait." Caitlyn said scratching her head. "You and Tess…kissed?"

"No no! It was one of those almost kiss intense moments." Mitchie replied not wanting to meet the other girl's eyes.

Caitlyn was silent for a really long time. And this only caused Mitchie to be even more panicky.

"Wow. So what does it mean?" Caitlyn finally said quietly.

"I was hoping you'd tell me."

"Er…well. Sounds like there's…I don't know sexual tension between you two." Caitlyn said and then chuckled.

"Hey! This isn't funny. And I don't even like girls like that…"

"Then why did you want to kiss her?"

"I didn't say that!"

Caitlyn smiled. "You didn't have to. But my advice is either act on this thing you two seem to have going or leave it be."

Mitchie was now even more confused. "This is Tess Tyler we're talking about here. And I have a boyfriend…whom I care about a lot. I don't have time to be crushing on silly girls."

Caitlyn now smirked. "So you do have a crush on her then?"

"No! I mean yes…uh NO! Jesus! It's only the second day and I want to drown myself in the lake out there." Mitchie sighed.

"Mitchie, all I'm going to do is to tell you to go with the flow…now let's go eat I'm starving!"

Mitchie groaned and followed her friend out the door. Even though it was very unlikely, she just wanted this Tess problem to disappear.

A/N: So tell me what you think. :) Reviews are super awesome. And thank you soooo much to those of you who have been R&R! Chapter Four should be up pretty soon.
