Chapter 9 recap

Mitchie put her flip-flops down beside her bed and then got in her bed. She pulled her cover up over her and then she looked to her night stand and saw that her phone was still on her folder for Browns class.

Mitchie hoped that she set her alarm for in the morning so she could get up and help her mother with breakfast.

Mitchie laid her head on her pillow and closed her eyes and tried to go to sleep. She hoped that she didn't have any nightmares tonight.

Mitchie fell asleep 5 mins after her head hit the pillow.


Never Give Up

Chapter 10


3 days later

Wednesday June 4, 2008

Tonight was the night that everyone had been preparing for the last 2 days, because tonight was pajama night jam.

Mitchie and Caitlyn haven't talked to each other since Caitlyn found out about Mitchie's mother being the camps cook.

They have Browns classes and Shane's hip hop dance class together but the avoided each other as much as possible.

Mitchie and Shane haven't had any time to talk to each other in the past few day due to Tess making them practice for the jam tonight. They also haven't had any time alone with each other since there chat down at the dock a few nights ago.

Mitchie's been so busy that she hasn't thought about the call her father made to her a few days ago. She put that to the back of her mind for now. She would deal with her father at another time, but for now she was going to enjoy her summer here at camp rock.

Shane had been working on some new song for the past few days. He also had his band metes call a few times to check in on him to see how he was doing and Jason asked him to build him a bird house again.

Shane told Jason that he wasn't going to build him a bird house with a rude attitude.

Everyone couldn't wait for tonight.


Shane's Hip Hop Class (2:30 pm)

Shane looked at his hip hop class as they stretched before they all got started learning the new dace he had for them today. He hoped that they could keep up with him today on the new dance he made for them.

Shane couldn't help but let his eyes linger on Mitchie for a few seconds more then he should have as he looked around his class room.

Shane cleared his throat and everyone in his class stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

"Okay guys let's get started. Try and keep up guys." Said Shane as he hit the play button on the stereo.

Shane started dancing with everyone else trying to keep up with him as they dance to one of connect 3's newer songs.

Well here we are again
Throwing punch-lines, no one wins
As the morning sun begins to rise
We're fading fast
We won't work this out

No we're not gonna work this out tonight
No we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss and say goodbye)
Cuz we're not gonna work this out tonight

Every single word's been said (whoa oh oh)
Broke each others hearts again (whoa oh oohh)
As the starlit sky begins to shine
We're breaking down
She screams out

No we're not gonna work this out tonight
No we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss and say goodbye)
Cuz we're not gonna work this out tonight

We don't have to fight tonight
We just gotta try tonight
We're gonna work this out
We don't have to fight tonight
We just gotta try
Tonight

No we're not gonna work this out tonight
No we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss and say goodbye)
Cuz we're not going to work this out tonight

Well there's no need to fight
We're just wasting time
(Tonight)
If you give it a try well maybe you'll find
(We might work this out)
Well we know we're in love
So let's keep it alive (keep it alive, keep it alive)
Tonight
I'm starting to see the morning light
We finally worked this out

Shane ran them through the dance two times and then saw the time on the clock on the wall.

He saw that it was 3:25 pm decided to let them go a little early so that they could go practice on their acts for tonight's pajama jam.

Shane turned off the stereo and then turned to his class and looked at each and every one of them.

"That's good for today guys. You can go early and do whatever you won't just don't disturb the other classes that are going on." Said Shane as he looked at everyone and saw surprised looks on everyone's faces.

Everyone nodded they were not going to argue with Shane about letting class's out early today.

Everyone headed out of the cabin before Shane could change his mind.

Shane watched as everyone left his class. The last ones to leave the cabin was Tess, Ella, Peggy and Mitchie.

Shane wondered if Mitchie was going to perform tonight, because he has yet to hear her sing and he wonders if she's any good.


Mess Hall (5:30 pm)

Mitchie entered the mess hall to see three people she gotten to no set at a table. Mitchie wanted to set with Lola, Barron and Sander, but she knew that she had to sit with Tess today.

Mitchie looked way from Lola's table and saw Tess, Peggy and Ella up getting there food. So she made her way over to them and stood next to Ella as Tess talked.

"The magazine says here that I'm Shane Gray's type. So I just a matter of time before he's asking me out and I can't wait." Said Tess happily to her group.

Mitchie grabbed a plate and put some pasta on it. She thought that Tess was right that Shane would rather have Tess then her. Wait was she Mitchie Torres actually having more than friendship feelings for Shane Gray lead singer of connect 3. Mitchie shock her head clearing it of those thoughts and she saw that Caitlyn had been next to Tess for pretty much the whole time.

"Warm, funny, talented. You Tess No way." Said Caitlyn


Few mins later

"So Mitchie I was thinking that after camp we could maybe I don't know come visit you and your mother in china." Said Ella

"Ya I'm sure that my mother would love to meet you all and have you come stay with us." Said Mitchie lying through her teeth to Tess and her followers.

Mitchie watched as Caitlyn walked passed her with her plate of food and Caitlyn gave her a knowing and amused look as she headed to her table with Lola, Barron and Sander.

Mitchie, Peggy and Ella looked to Tess as she snapped her fingers to get them to look at her.

"Okay guys since tonight is the pajama night jam. I thought we would go over what we were going top were tonight. "Said Tess looking at her group of followers.

Mitchie, Ella and Peggy looked to Tess waiting for her to talk about tonight.

"Outfits okay guys white pants and green hoodie okay guys." Said Tess looking at Ella, Peggy and mitchie who all nodded their heads okay, but still gave he a questioning look.

"What guys. It says here in this magazine that green is Shane's favorite color." said Tess glaring at her group of girls as she walked over to the table that they always set at.

Mitchie, Peggy and Ella all sighed and followed Tess with their plated of food.

Once they were at their table with their food. They set down and stared to eat.


Shane's Cabin (5:46 pm)

Shane was setting in his cabin on his bed looking over the camps events for the next few weeks. When his cell phone started ringing and Hold On one of their songs.

We don't have time left to regret (hold on)
It will take more than common sense (hold on)
So stop your wondering take a stand (hold on)
There's more to life than just to live (hold on)

Shane grabbed his phone and answered his cell phone.

"Hello Nate." Said Shane to Nate on the phone.

"Hey Shane how's everything going over there?" asked Nate as Jason said something in the back ground.

"It okay man. Is that Jason I hear in the back ground?" asked Shane

"Ya man it is. He keeps asking me if you have built his bird house yet and I told him that you don't have time right now to build him one, but you now Jason is Jason he has a one track mind." Said Nate (hey I do not have a one track mind… hey I just saw a blue jay fly by come back here birdy.)

Shane shook his head at Jason as he heard what he said in the back ground as he talked to Nate. Shane thought poor Jason he wasn't the smarted guy in the sand box.

"Ya I agree with ya man." Said Shane amused at Nate and Jason's arguing just like the brothers they were.

"Shane I talked to your uncle Brown earlier today and we decided that we are going to come down soon and stay until camps over. Know I now that you would rather be anywhere, but at camp rock we just thought that we would come keep you company for the rest of the camp." Said Nate as Jason blabbed on about birds and Nate yelled at him for not shunting up about birds.

Shane was glad that he didn't have any brothers or sisters that argued with him all the time or annoyed him all the time.

"Now guys I would love for you to come down here and stay until the end of camp." Said Shane with a smile on his face happy that his band mates were coming to camp and staying until the end of camp.

"Shane are you feeling alright there buddy." Asked Nate worried about his friend because this is not the same jerk that they dropped off at camp rock almost a week ago. So what happened to Shane wondered Nate.

"Ya Nate I feeling just fine man. I just want to tell you and Jason that I'm sorry for the way I been treating you guys and I hope that you well forgive me. So what do you say guys?" asked Shane nervously waiting for his best friends and band mates to answer his question.

There's silence on the phone for a few mins as Shane waits for his band mates to say something to him.

"Wow Shane what has happened to you man." Said Nate as he looked at his brother and band mate Jason who looked at him to.

"Nothing guys so what do you say guys." Asked Shane annoyed that they wouldn't give him a straight answer.

"Ya man we forgive you Shane as long as you don't turn in to a jerk again anytime soon." Said Nate as his brother was yelling in the back ground that he wanted to talk to Shane.

Shane smiled as he got his answer he wonted and because his band mates were arguing over talking to him. They amused him most of the time, but it was fun to hang out with them.

"Thanks guys means a lot to me that you are willing to forgive me for the things I've done and said to you." Said Shane happy that his friends and band mates forgave him.

"Welcome man. Will lessen man we have to go man, but we will see you tomorrow afternoon man. Just remember that us coming there is to be kept secret until we get there man." Said Nate as he ran away from Jason who was chasing him trying to get Nate's phone to talk to Shane.

"Okay man see two then, just don't kill each other before you get here." Said Shane shaking his head at Nate and Jason.

"Will try not to kill each other bye." said Nate hanging up on Shane to deal with his brother.

Shane laughed at his band mates and best friends. He put his phone down on his night stand next to his alarm clock.

Shane was only going to go the pajama jam to see if Mitchie was going to sing and to watch Nate's old crush Caitlyn from what he remembered she was pretty good on the key board.


Cabin Vibe (6:15 pm)

Mitchie, Ella and Peggy were already ready in there white pants and green hoodies.

Mitchie hand covered all she bruises so that no one new that they were ever there.

Mitchie, Peggy and Ella were just waiting for Tess to get done getting ready for tonight's jam.

They had already went over there song and dance several times. They needed to head to the cabin that was holding the pajama jam it started at 6:40 pm.

Peggy, Ella and Mitchie all sighed as Tess came out of the bathroom dressed in all green nice silky pajama outfit with lots of make up on. Tess was dressed to impress Shane.

"I thought that we were all going to wear the same thing?" asked Peggy as they looked at Tess.

"No, only the backup singers wear the same thing not the lead singer guys." Said Tess rolling her eyes at her followers and roommates.

With that they all left the cabin behind Tess rolling their eyes at the camps diva as they followed her.


Pajama jam cabin (6:35 pm)

Tess, Peggy, Mitchie and Ella entered the cabin to see it pretty full of people and there was music playing and some boys dancing and doing flips and things.

They saw Dee near the front of the room standing next to Brown having fun watching everyone preform.

Mitchie saw Caitlyn standing next to Lola talking to her. She wanted to go stand next to them and fix her friendship with Caitlyn, but she knew that it's not the time or place for that.

Tess, Mitchie, Peggy and Ella all stood on the opposite side of the room from Caitlyn and Lola.

Everyone was watching the first act and were too in to it to see Shane enter the room in his pajamas. He stopped and leaned against one of the bunk beds that was near the cabin door.

Shane looked around the cabin and saw his uncle standing next to Dee enjoying the first act. He also saw that Nate's old crush and camper from when he came here Caitlyn and next to her was a mixed girl that he thinks name was Lauren or Lola something like that.

Shane kept looking around the room and saw that on the opposite side of the room from Caitlyn stood Tess, Peggy, Ella and Mitchie.

Shane saw that Tess and her group were wearing green and white tonight. Tess's followers and Mitchie were wearing white pants and green hoodies while Tess wore all green silky pajamas.

Shane was pulled away from his thoughts when he saw Dee move to one of the mic in the room.

Everyone in the cabin looked to her in the front of the room.

"Next give it up for the it girls." Said Dee La Duke in to a mic in front of everyone.

A few people clapped for them as Mitchie, Ella, Peggy and Tess made their way to the two mic's in the front of the room.

Shane watched Tess and her group make their way up to the front of the room and to the mic's.

Tess stood in front of the one that was father up in the little stage area. While Ella, Mitchie and Peggy stood in that order behind the second mic ready to sing.

The music started and Tess started singing with Mitchie, Ella and Peggy singing there parts.

I'm too cool for my dress, these shades don't leave my head
Everything you say is so irrelevant
You follow and I my lead, you wanna be like me
But you're just a wannabe, love it or hate it

I can't help the way I am
Hope you don't misunderstand

But I'm too cool, too cool
Yeah, I'm too cool to know you
Don't take it personal, don't get emotional
You know it's the truth I'm too cool for you

You think your hot but I'm sorry you're not
Exactly who do you think you are?
Can't tell you what that you haven't got
When we walk into the room I'm too cool for you

You're lucky I'm so nice, even I'm surprised
You are still allowed to be in my crew
I'll show you how it's done if you wanna be someone
Just watch me and you'll learn some

Shane and everyone was moving with Tess song and enjoying it.

Me, myself and I agree
You'll never catch up with me

'Cause I'm too cool, too cool
Yeah, I'm too cool to know you
Don't take it personal, don't get emotional
You know it's the truth I'm too cool for you

You think your hot but I'm sorry you're not
Exactly who do you think you are?

Shane looked away from Tess and over to Mitchie who didn't look happy singing back up for Tess.

Shane thought that Mitchie would be singing solo not in a group with Tess Tylor.

Can't tell you what that you haven't got
When we walk into the room I'm too cool for you

You see some are born with beauty, brains and talent
And they got it all
While others have to try all their lives
Still they never get the call

That's the difference between you and me obviously
I'm a natural, I'm the real deal
I can't help the way I am
Hope you don't misunderstand

But I'm too cool, too cool
Yeah, I'm too cool to know you
Don't take it personal, don't get emotional
You know it's the truth I'm too cool for you

Too cool, too cool
Yeah, I'm too cool to know you
Don't take it personal, don't get emotional
You know it's the truth I'm too cool for you

Everyone clapped for Tess and her backup singers as they moved away from there mic's and over near where Shane was at.

Shane and his Uncle Brown locked eyes and smiled at him and his uncle smiled back at him.

Shane watched as Caitlyn walked over to Mitchie and Tess group. He saw Caitlyn stop in front of Mitchie.

"So Mitchie did you enjoy singing back up to Tess?" asked Caitlyn as Dee spoke.

Everyone looked to Dee when she stepped up to a mic.

"Okay everyone that was the it girls. Up next is the awesome Caitlyn Geller." Said Dee La Duke as Caitlyn left Mitchie and headed to the stage area and got behind the key board with her lap top near her key board.

"And this is for all you awesome camp rockers. Let's have some fun guys." Said Caitlyn as she started to hit a key on her lap top and some sound was coming out of it as she started doing different tricks and playing her key board.

Everyone was moving and nodding to Caitlyn's act even Shane who thought it as cool.

Tess looked at Shane and saw that he was really in to Caitlyn's act and that pissed her off.

Tess looked around for something she could use to destroy Caitlyn's performance.

Then Tess saw a power cord and bam it came to her.

"Oh my god snake!" yelled Tess pointing to something on the floor next to Dee.

There were several screams from people in the room as Dee bent down and grabbed what Tess was saying was a snake.

Everyone looked to Dee who was holding a power cord in her hand.

"It's just a power cord Tess not a snake." Said Dee La Duke giving Tess a disapproving look.

"Oops my bad." Said Tess

Shane shook his head at Tess and her evilness. He felt bad for Caitlyn her performance was very good and Tess ruined it.

Shane watched as Caitlyn made her way over to Mitchie who moved to stand in front of Tess ready to go off on her at any moment with Ella and Peggy behind her.

Shane had never seen Mitchie angry and if looks could kill Tess would be dead right now.

Shane saw his uncle out of the corner of his eye moving near Tess her followers and Caitlyn and Mitchie ready to intervene if need be.

Everyone was looking at Tess, Caitlyn and Mitchie to see what happened.

"Tess you are so full of it." Said Caitlyn glaring angrily at Tess.

"What?" asked Tess playing dumb.

"Tess you can't stand that people might like something that someone else does." Said Caitlyn angrily at Tess who glared at Caitlyn.

Then Tess just smiled and then did movements with her hands that were directed at Caitlyn.

"What the hell does that mean Tess?" asked Caitlyn confused as most of the campers including Shane were.

Tess was about to answer but Ella beat her to it.

"Tess said whatever major loser Caitlyn." Said Ella while she did the same movements that Tess had done not moments ago.

Everyone was busy watching scene in front of them that they didn't hear or see Nate and Jason Black come in to the cabin and stop near the cabin doors watching the scene that everyone else was.

Nate looked at the scene in front of them and he couldn't believe that Caitlyn was here at camp rock again he hadn't seen her in 3 years and he missed her greatly. He knew that Tess Tylor was picking on her again and that angered him.

Nate, Jason Shane and everyone else watched as Mitchie opened her mouth and spoke surprising them with what she says to Tess.

"You know what Tess that was so last year no one does that anymore accept maybe you. Also you know what Tess I'm done with you I quite your group. You now it sad that you take such joy other peoples pain. I think that you are a terrible person for enjoying humiliating other people and for the life of me I can't see why you do that to other people it like you think that you rule the earth and the rest of us are your servants to do as you please with. Just so you know Tess I rather be friends with Caitlyn then you any day." Said Mitchie glaring angrily at Tess.

Everyone looked at her in shock they knew that she just got on Tess's bad side and that she better watch her back, but they are thankful that someone knocked Tess down a peg or two.

Caitlyn was shocked that Mitchie stood up to Tess for her it surprised her and she was thankful to Mitchie.

"Thanks Mitchie, but you don't have to stand up for me I can handle myself." Said Caitlyn sending Mitchie a smile.

Everyone looked to the back of the room when they heard someone sneeze and they saw Shane and the rest of connect three in the room and some girls screamed and started running at Shane, Nate and Jason whose eyes were wide.

Mitchie, Caitlyn, Lola and everyone else in the room watched as Shane Gray, Nate and Jason Black as started running out of the cabin and away from the screaming fans chasseing them out of the cabin yelling their names and there's connect three get them.
