Nicole POV

I woke up the next morning to Mitchie shaking me awake. I looked at the clock next to me, six o' clock?! We weren't supposed to get up until eight!

"Mitchie what's going on?" I asked still half asleep.

"The cook needs help and she knows mom worked he last time and I did too so she's asking for our help." She said in a whisper so she wouldn't wake up Caitlyn.

I groaned and yawned, "Fine let me get dressed.

"Hurry up." She said as she went back to her bunk to sit down.

I put on jeans and a white shirt with red sleeves with short ugg boots. Mitchie and I headed over to the kitchen in a hurry. The camp was still dark with some morning light coming up, I think this was the quietest I have ever seen, well heard, the camp. Mitchie held open the back kitchen door for me as we went in.

The staff was hard at work making breakfast and mixing juices. I looked at Mitchie who smiled at the familiar scene of last summer I smiled back. A semi tall women with black short hair that went under her chin, her eyes were brown.

"You must be the Torres's girls." She smiled wiping her hands on her apron.

Mitchie smiled, "I'm Mitchie you met me yesterday."

"I'm Nicole." I smiled kindly at the women.

She smiled and shook our hands, "I'm Mrs. Watson but call me Danielle."

We all smiled then she gave us our jobs. Mitchie was preparing the crescents and I was cutting bananas into a bowl, same with strawberries. I yawned a couple times, usually I would be in bed in my nice bunk dreaming of….something.

My dreams can be weird, sometimes they are all serious, like when Mitchie told me about what Tess did to her I dreamt about how that moment was, but sometimes they are so crazy and weird, two nights ago I dreamt of a dancing banana. Recently though I've been getting dreams of song lyrics, just lyrics and music notes. I wrote some down but it's all crazy and messed up that I can't even think of what to name the song.

"Nicole…?" I turned to see Danielle behind me holding plates.

I shook my head, "Sorry about that, what do you need?" I asked kindly.

She smiled, "The campers will be coming soon so I need you to set out these plates on the table."

ALREADY? I looked at my watch, seven thirty. Wow, must be the early risers. I nodded and took the two plates that I could carry. I would have to make at least five trips. Right when I exited through the kitchen door I bumped into someone but luckily they caught my plate.

"Sorry and thanks." I smiled but frowned when I looked up to see Nate.

He looked down at me but traced his eyes as I stood up and took the plate back from him.

"Is your mom working in the kitchen like last year?" He asked as I put the plates on the long table.

I shook my head no, "It's Mrs. Watson and she knew my mom worked here last year so she asked Mitchie and I to help out."

I started walking to the kitchen but Nate followed I turned around, "You're an early riser?" This was a surprise he was a star!

He nodded, "Just because I'm a counselor if I wasn't I would probably ditch all my classes and sleep."

I giggled. WHOA! Did I just giggle at something jerk-face Nate Grey said? I shook my head of that though.

"I have to go help out more. Bye." I pushed the kitchen door open and went in to grab more plates.

Mitchie was now putting the crescents in the oven I walked over to her with my two plates in hand.

"You had to do this every morning last summer?" I asked.

Mitchie nodded. "Not so easy, is it?"

I shook my head, "Heck no!"

I opened the door using my back but only to bump into someone again. This time, the person wasn't nice enough to at least try to catch it.

"Watch it!"

I looked up to see Tess Tyler brushing off her leather pants. What was she a hooker? She rolled her eyes.

"Ugh kitchen help. C'mon girls." She started strutting out with Elle and Peggy behind her.

I dropped the paper plate again, "EXCUSE ME?"

She turned around, "What now?"

I walked sp close that I was in her face now, "I'm waiting.."

Tess rolled her eyes, "For what a fashion consultant?"

I'm choosing to ignore that comment, "No, an apology."

Tess snickered and laughed bitterly but frowned again, "No way."

That did it. I jumped on her and we started to wrestle. I pulled her hair as she clawed back with her manicured nails. People began to gather and I could feel her biting my hand.

Ok maybe that isn't exactly how it happened. Ok it didn't happen like that at all, in reality I just threw away the cluttered breakfast and grabbed new plates of food and set them out as if Tess and I didn't even communicate. I actually froze with fear when Tess spoke to me like that, it scared the heck out of me! But, I'm not going to let her ruin my camp experience.

After Mitchie and I helped out we decided that we could come every other day, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, unless if they needed extra help. We took off our aprons and headed over to get ourselves some food. we found Caitlyn over at a table with Connect Three.

"Hey." Shane smiled kissing Mitchie.

She giggled, "Hey."

I threw a piece of scrambled egg at them, "Get a room!"

Jason, Caitlyn, and even Nate laughed but stopped when I looked at him. Shane snickered as he threw it back at me. We started eating when Caitlyn spoke up.

"I know it's early but what are you guys doing for Final Jam?" She asked taking a sip of her juice.

"Judging." The boys all answered together.

Mitchie laughed, "Just singing a new song. How about you Caitlyn?"

Caitlyn put her juice down, "Dancing with Sander and the boys, you Nicole?"

I bit my lip, "I don't know if I'm going to-"Don't finish that sentence!" Jason commanded.

Everyone looked at Jason wondering what he was going to say.

"C'mon it's your first Final Jam you need to do something!" He smiled at me.

I shrugged, "I don't know-"Please spare us all!"

I turned behind me to see Tess at the table behind us. Like she had the right to eavesdrop. Mitchie clenched her fist and was about to stand up but I pulled her down.

"It's not worth it." I said.

Mitchie looked at me, "I'm just afraid.."

I looked at her confused, "Of what?"

"Well-"Ok campers head to your first session!" The intercom interrupted Mitchie.

"We'll talk later." I said to her as I got my plate and threw it out.

We said our goodbyes as Shane and I went to his dance class.
