AN: As always, thanks to everyone for reading or reviewing this story. You guys are the best, and this one's for you.
Poll: What's a good phone to get if you want to download music, text, and/or want navigation on a cell phone? I kind of broke my cell phone (I can pull the monitor part off on one side, and the other side will eventually come out if I drop it again), so I'm wondering which one to get (BTW, I'm on a Verizon plan, but I've never had texting on it before…and my parents don't think texting or downloading music is necessary. Me? I can't live without music, and I want to be able to text friends (they all have texting on their phones…lucky them). Although I probably won't text much until I get used to texting. And I can't really switch to AT&T or some other cell phone provider, since I'm on a Verizon family share plan). Any ideas? Oh yeah, and it can't be that expensive, since I'll have to pay for it myself (but I'd rather get the best deal, even if it's a little more expensive, than a cheaper deal (but not as worth it).
Disclaimer: I don't own Party or Gonna Get Caught by Demi Lovato. And FYI, I changed the lyrics a little to fit the story. But I do own my own ideas…
Chapter 11 – Callie's Final Jam (Part 2)
I saw you looking over
Now I see
you moving this way
Pushing through the crowd
Like you've got
something to say
But you couldn't walk
Cuz the
music's taking over your feet
I can tell by your toes that
You're
rocking to this beat
You gotta dance til you ache
Til
you drop and break
Free your soul
Let me see you shake
One by one
We're stealing the
stage
Here we come, so get
Out of our way
It won't be
long
Til the summer's gone
Get your party on
So sing along
Hold on tight
It's a crazy
night
Get your party on
So we'll scream it out loud
I know your type
And all the hype
Is going straight
To your head
And everybody's stopping
What they're doing
Cuz your face is turning red, yeah
You gotta learn
How to move
To
the groove
Give in or get out
Put your hands
In the air
Stand up
In your chair
And shout!
We're all dolled
up
With nowhere to go
You want to get out
And put on a show
There's nothing wrong
With staying
home
As long as you've got
Your
radio
It won't be long
Till the summer's gone
Get your
party on
So sing along
Hold on tight
It's a crazy
night
Get your party on
So we'll scream it
Don't wait
And don't you be late
Get
your party on
So sing along
Hold on tight
It's a crazy night
Get
your party on
So we'll scream it out loud
Come on, Camp Rock, bring it home for me, baby!
The little things that you do
From across the room
I see you sending me clues
They're in the way you make me move
[It won't be long
Till the summer's gone
Get your
party on
So sing along
Hold on tight
It's a crazy
night
Get your party on
So we'll scream it
Don't wait
And don't you be late
Get
your party on
So sing along
Hold on tight
It's a crazy night
Get
your party on
So we'll scream it out loud
Get your party on, get your, get your party on
Get your party on, get your, get your party on
Let's do it again!
"Wow, Nick," Callie smiled, definitely surprised. "I didn't think you had it in you to write a song like that."
"Thanks," Nick blushed, looking down and beginning to feel very self-conscious. "I wasn't sure whether you'd like it."
"It's just…" Callie began, then saw Nick and Maddie looking at her intently.
"Just…what?" Nick prompted.
"It sounds a little too…summery, don't you think?" Callie said.
"Duh," Maddie cut in. "It's supposed to, since, you know, it's summer..." Maddie rolled her eyes, as if that were completely obvious.
"We get it, Maddie," Callie snapped, a little too harshly. Maddie looked away sadly, then Callie continued. "I mean, it's great for summer camp, but if we're going to be stars, we have to come up with something that'll stand out. Not stuff like this."
"So you don't like the song?" Nick said, taking it personally.
"It's OK, but it's cookie cutter pop star stuff. We're better than that. We need to write something like…" Callie pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket, and unfolded it. She began to sing…
You pull me in with your smile
You
make me melt with your voice
Now I've been gone now for
awhile
Just to find that I'm your seventh choice
And I don't
wanna pay the cost
But it'd be best if you get lost
Cuz you
know you'll never change
Don't say that you need me
And
don't play these games in my mind
You better get out of my head,
cuz you're wasting your time
And don't say it's forever
And don't play cause you had your
shot
You better stop messing around
Cuz you're gonna get caught
You
promise me all of your time
I guess I'm not the only one
The
thing is it's my heart on the line this time
I'm your number one
or I'm gone
Don't say that you need me
And don't play these
games in my mind
You better get out of my head
Cuz you're wasting your time
And don't say it's forever
And
don't play cause you had your shot
You better stop messing around
Cuz you're gonna get caught
No
don't try to get me back
I won't forget about our pack
I
never had the guts to leave
Now you're making it
Now you're
making it much easier for me to see
And don't say that you're
sorry
You're breaking every inch of my heart
I should've
known from the start
That it's all just a lie
And don't say that you need me
And
don't play these games in my mind
You better get out of my head
Cuz you're wasting your time
And don't say it's forever
And
don't play cause you had your shot
You better stop messing around,
Cuz you're gonna get caught
Yeah, you better stop messing around
Cuz you're gonna get caught
"So…what do you think?" Callie wondered, as her friends stood there, their mouths agape.
"It's so…" Maddie struggled to find the right words.
"…you," Nick finished.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Callie narrowed her eyes.
Maddie gave Callie a blank stare, meaning she had no clue.
"It means, it's good, since you wrote it," Nick added, a little too slowly.
"What? You don't think I can pull it off? I'm Callie Gray. You know…I'm not just Shane Gray's daughter. I'm gonna be the world's biggest rockstar. It's only a matter of time before everyone realizes I'm the IT girl. And if you guys aren't in this with me, then maybe I'm better off alone," Callie snapped, her temper flaring. "You know what?"
"What?" Maddie asked stupidly.
"If you guys don't want to help me, then maybe you don't need my help on the song."
"Of course we do," Nick insisted.
"Are you going to help me on mine?" Callie demanded, looking at her friends closely.
"I will," Maddie said softly. Callie ignored her, staring hard at Nick.
"Me too," Nick whispered.
"What's that?" Callie cupped her hand to her ear, as Nick and Maddie exchanged glances.
"It's just…" Nick mumbled quietly.
"Just what?" Callie prompted.
"That song…it's not really my style," Nick admitted.
"Of course it's not. But guess what? I'm the one singing it. You're just backup," Callie said.
"Excuse me?" Nick said, not believing what he heard.
"I said, you're just backup. Now, are we in this together, or do I have to find someone else who'll help me?" Callie challenged.
"We're all in this together," Maddie quoted, glancing at Nick, who looked a little unsure. "Right, Nick?"
"Yeah…" Nick mumbled. "I mean, right…" He still looked uncertain.
"You know what, Nick?" Callie said, her voice rising along with her temper. She glared at her friend. "I know you're not with me on this, so just…forget it. I'll find some other people to help me. After all, I'm Callie Gray. And while you're at it, find yourself a new friend, because we're done."
She stalked off before her friends could say anything. Maddie raced after her, calling out all sorts of apologies.
AN: Are Callie and Nick ever going to regain their friendship? Will Maddie help bring them back together? What'll happen at Final Jam? Review to find out, OK? There's lots of drama in store…
