Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the last chapter! The songs were "That's how you know" By Demi Lovato and "Our time is here." The bonus song in Camp Rock. Please enjoy and review!
Recap:
When the music stopped, clapping was heard. The girls turn around to find…THE CONNECT 3. Nate and Jason had their eye-brows raised and Shane gave a glare at Tess.
All three girls look at one-another. They were thinking the same thing. "Oh dear."
The room was in dead silence. Everyone was waiting for someone else to speak up. Mitchie was the first one to speak. "Hey guys! Why are you back? I though you had a sound check?" "The bigger question is what you guys are doing in our house." Nate piped up, annoyed.
"It was my idea, sorry guys for coming in." Caitlyn said, not making eye – contact with the guys. To the girls' amusement, the boys looked at one-another and burst out laughing. "We are not mad, that song was good!" Jason told the girls. "And… Tess Tyler, what are you doing here? Aren't you enemies with Mitchie?" Shane questioned.
This time, it was the girls who laughed. "You haven't told HIM yet sis?" Tess asked, increasing her voice on "HIM." Mitchie could only shake her head, clutching her sides, laugher coming from her. "Umm girls? What is going on? "Jason asked. Caitlyn pushed Tess forward, mouthing. "Go on."
Tess made eye-contact with the Connect 3 and said. "Look guys, I am really sorry for what I did to Mitchie. I know she is like sisters to you guys and I should not have hurt her. I know what I did was wrong, the girls have already forgiven me so can you guys do the same?" The boys were unsure what to do.
Jason, being the air-head he sometimes is, step forward and extended his hand. "Hi, I am Jason, you are pretty." Tess blushed and shook Jason's hand. "Hello, I am Tess Tyler, Mitchie's adopted sister." Seeing his band-mate being so friendly, Nate went forward and gave her a hug. "I forgive you." He said. Tess grinned and returned the friendly hug.
Shane was the only one left. He didn't know if he should forgive Tess after all she did to Mitchie. Seeing he was in a dilemma, Mitchie walked towards him and talked to him. "Shane, can you please forgive her on my account? She is treating me like a sister now, don't you worry." Shane nodded and gave Mitchie a hug before making his way over to Tess.
"Tess, on Mitchie's account, I think I can forgive you…" He was interrupted by a very pleased Tess giving him a big hug. "Thank you, thank you like a million times!" She screamed. "Hey, what about me? I helped." Mitchie piped up. "Thanks a bunch sis!" Tess said.
"Group Hug!" Jason shouted a pulled everyone into a tight hug. "Jason… Can't breathe." All 5 friends said in unison. "Opps, sorry…" Jason apologized and let go. All of them took deep breathes and plopped down onto chairs. All of them were in an awarked position.
Mitchie and Shane were sitting on the couch, Shane's hand on top of Mitchie. Mitchie was blushing red. Naitlyn was sprawling on the floor, their foreheads close together. Jason was seated on a chair and he pulled Tess onto his lap. (A/N: They are not couples, yet.)
"Hey, I smell something good…" Shane started. Everyone begin sniffing the air. "Oh, those are buns. " Mitchie replied, smiling. "Do you still have any left?" Nate asked. "Only a few more, cause we were not expecting visitors." Caitlyn said.
"Speaking of visitors, what are you guys doing here? I thought you had a sound check?" Tess asked. "That stupid manager of ours got that date wrong!" Jason exclaimed. Everyone turned and stared at Jason, who was usually, the airhead of the group. Shane stood up and went over to Jason. He placed his hands on Jason's forehead. "Dude, are you alright?"
"Yup! I'm fine. Hey Mitchie, can you make us something to eat please? I'm starving." Jason asked. Everyone also added their pleas. Mitchie sighed in defeat. "Fine, but Tess needs to help." She nodded to her sister. Tess smiled and agreed.
After some discussion, they finally decided on strawberry cakes and more buns. Luckily, the Connect 3 had baking materials since Caitlyn baked sometimes. Mitchie got all the ingredients from the fridge and they begin making the snacks.
"So sister, what is going on between you and Jason?" Mitchie asked. Tess blushed tomato red while she stirred the cake batter. "What do you mean sis?" She pretended to act.
(A/N: Okay, this is getting irritating; I'm switching my writing mode.)
Mitchie: Oh come on! He practically pulled you onto his lap! I think he likes you.
Tess: Nonsense! I mean, he is THE JASON, and I am just Tess Tyler. I'm not fit to date him.
Mitchie: Fiddlesticks and nonsense! You are TJ Tyler's daughter! (Puts batter into baking tin)
Tess: Okay, okay, I kind of like him.
Mitchie: *Squeals* I knew it!
Tess: Shut Up! What about you and Shane then. (Raise eyebrows)
Mitchie: What do you what to know? There is nothing going on…
Tess: Mitch, we have been through this conversation. You guys make a cute couple.
Mitchie: I don't know if he likes me back…
Shane's POV:
"So Shane, spill! Why was your hand covering my best friends? Caitlyn asked. I stirred up and blushed. "What do you mean?" "Man! You and Mitchie so much in common!" Caitlyn said, rolling her eyes. "Just admit it dude, ask her out before me and Cait will have to play cupid." Nate told me.
"Hey! What about me?" Jason asked, putting his hands up. "We also need to get you and Tess together. " Nate said. "Yeah, you like her right?" Caitlyn added. Jason nodded. "THEN ASK HER OUT!" Nate, Jason and I yelled.
Unfortunately, Mitchie and Tess heard the last part and came out from the kitchen. "Ask who out?" Tess asked. "Umm…Nothing. " I replied. Mitchie walked over and gave me her famous puppy dog pout. I shook me head. I couldn't say anything or the others will kill me... Annoyed, Mitchie and Tess went back into the kitchen, whispering.
When we were sure Mitchie and Tess were out of the ear-shot, we heaved a sigh of relief. "You're lucky you didn't say anything dude, or you are so dead." Nate warned. I nodded. "Ditto." Caitlyn said. "But I happen to know that Mitchie is interested in someone…" Once I heard the words escape through Caitlyn's mouth, my head shot up and I pretended not to care. That conversation went on for a couple of minutes.
In the kitchen…
Mitchie and Tess were placing the cake in the oven and the buns in the pots to steam. "What was that all about?"Tess asked. "I don't know, it must be a secret. Even my famous puppy dog pout can't do anything." Mitchie replied. "Yeah, all I heard was then ask her out." Tess said. "Yeah, it might be Shane or Jason's problem. Nate and Caitlyn are already dating." Mitchie mused.
"Hey! I heard singing can past time, since we have to wait for the snacks. Want to try?" Tess asked. Mitchie nodded and fished out her songbook from her pocket. "This one." Mitchie pointed to a song and started singing the lyrics. Tess soon joined in.
Mitchie:
I'm
tugging at my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to
keep my cool
I know it shows
Tess:
I'm
staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searching
for the words inside my head
Mitchie:
(Cause)
I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know
you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
Both:
If
I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be
with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could
say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one
knee
Marry me today
Guess, I'm wishing my life away
With
these things I'll never say
Tess:
It
don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is
it to you
What's on my mind
Mitchie:
If ain't coming
out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you
that I care
By this time, everyone from the living room was in the kitchen, clapping to the song.
Tess:
(Cause)
I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know
you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
Both:
If
I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be
with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could
say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one
knee
Marry me today
Guess, I'm wishing my life away
With
these things I'll never say.
Tess
:( Cause) I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Mitchie:
Because
I know you're worth it
you're worth it
Yeah
Both:
Guess
I'm wishing my life away with these things I'll never say
If I
could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you...away
Be
with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could
say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one
knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With
these things I'll never say
These things I'll never say
When they were both done, the others cheered and clapped. "Wow! Both of your voices sound so good together!" Nate commented. "Thanks." They said. By that time, all the food was ready so they took it outside. "Mmm... this smells so good." Shane said, sniffing the air. "No foods until we all settle down." Mitchie warned.
"Yes mum." Shane mumbered. But Mitchie's sharp ears caught every word. She smacked him lightly on the arm before walking in front of Shane. Everyone got settled in the living room as Caitlyn sliced pieces of cake for everyone to share.
Mitchie's POV:
Caitlyn handed me a piece of cake and Nate gave me a bun. I thanked them and walked over to an empty space on the couch and dug in. Man! I didn't know my baking was this good! I thought. Maybe I could make orange butter cookies for an occasion. Now all I need are 2 ripe oranges… "Mitchie, Mitchie, hello?" I snap back into reality. All the ingredients I mentally counted in my head was gone. I raised my head to see Shane staring at me.
"Are you alright Mitch? You seem kinda dazed out." Shane asked, looking concerned. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking." I replied, blushing. I didn't realize that I love baking as much as singing that I can come up with a new recipe within minutes. With so much in my head, I just couldn't eat. I placed my uneaten bun on the table and threw my cake away. My mind had just returned to baking world when…
"Hey! Since we are all friends, why not we have a sleepover at my place later? My adopter parents are going on their weekly night out." Caitlyn suggested. All of us agreed instantly. Suddenly, I had a brainwave. I kept thinking about it and I missed all the conversations that were going on. Even when all my friends screamed at me, I just couldn't hear them.
We all decided to head back home now so that we could pack and get ready. It was about 3.45pm now and Caitlyn wanted us to meet her at her house at 5.30pm. She gave Tess and I the address, we said our goodbyes and headed for home.
"So sis, what is on your mind? You were so busy taking notes." Tess asked. I told her about my orange butter cookie recipe and she agreed to help me bake some for the sleepover." Thanks sis!" I said, giving her a big hug. "Hey Mitch, you wanna see Shane freak out?" Tess grinned. I nodded eagerly, not realizing I was going to be part of her next big plans.
"Well, I have an idea…" She started and told me her big plans. I laughed and text Caitlyn about Tess's plans. Moments later, I got a reply.
Mitchie,
Hahaha! I would love to help. I'll text the boys to come over at 6 pm instead and you guys can come over at 5.30 to prepare. Tell Tess that this is the best idea. Cheers!
Cait.
Both of us laughed like idiots as we headed home, about to prepare for our perfect plan.
So, what is Tess's big plan? And will Shane freak? Here are some questions.
Truth or Dare or Spin the bottle?
Shane freak or not freak?
Shane ask Mitchie out, Jason asks Tess out or both?
