Thanks iceprincess272 for your review, I really apreciate all you're comments and opinions.
Usually I don't update until 2 people have reviewed but I said I would update by sunday and I keep my promises. Plus writing this chapter was really fun!
So this is a short chapter for Tess- the start is East and Tess but then it switches to Caitlyn and Tess. Song used is Kesha's We r who we r- but I passed it off as if Tess and Caitlyn wrote it.
Tess' POV
"What's the deal with your half siblings then- you don't seem very close," commented East asking personal questions to me like it was nothing at all, like we were friends or something, like we hadn't just properly met a few minutes ago.
"Well I haven't known them that long," I answered keeping it short and sweet, being almost abrupt.
East asked, "So why have you only just met up now?"
I paused for a second. I wasn't expecting that question so quickly, or really at all, in his shoes I would've asked "how long have you known each other?" or "why don't you get on" or, probably, would've changed the subject to myself- I find it easier to talk about myself rather than others. I guess East is a bit more intelligent than I would've given him credit for.
"Well," I began then paused, then thought, "oh what the hell, I might as well tell him, who is he anyway, who's he gonna tell!" and continued aloud, "My dad, our dad, died a few months ago."
"Oh, I am so sorry;" he said sincerely, "Losing a parent is hard."
I replied, "Well I don't care, I never met him." I said before processing the last comment, my mind flashed back to Christos McClure's Wikipedia page, he had lost his wife Camille a few years ago to breast cancer, poor East. "I'm sor-" I began to say but stopped mid word.
Caitlyn and Luke were behind the stage hugging and... no, they couldn't be, they weren't- kissing?
Gross.
"Caitlyn!" I yelled before I could stop myself.
"Oh shit," she sighed looking over her shoulder and spotting me and East.
"What's going on?" asked East confused and kind of annoyed someone had interrupted our conversation- he's sweet, but wait no he's a man whore remember!
I ran over to her and screamed, "What the hell are you doing with Luke!"
"Nice to see you to Tess," he sighed in that obnoxious way I couldn't stand.
"Luke you're not helping!" exclaimed Caitlyn glaring at him.
"You two, you're...?" I started but just couldn't finish, they weren't... dating? Gross, I cried, "I have to go tell someone... Mitchie, Shane, Nate..."
Then I ran off in the opposite direction, towards the forest, not even heading in the right direction, not heading where the others were, I just needed to be alone to think.
East's POV
Tess is kind of really beautiful and pretty messed up. I watched her run away from the guy, Luke I think, and Caitlyn looking dazed and hurt. I didn't understand what was going on I just realised I couldn't stand seeing Tess sad.
Caitlyn ran after her immediately after giving Luke a look I didn't see.
I walked over to Luke and asked, "What was that about?"
"Long story," he replied; making me even more curious and concerned- about Tess.
Wait I only met this girl 10 minutes ago, why am I concerned about her?
Tess' POV
"TESS! TESS WAIT! TESS!" screamed Caitlyn after me.
I kept running but yelled over my shoulder, "How long Caitlyn? How long have you been dating?"
"Dating!" she snorted but it was muffled through heavy breathing, trying to keep up with me, I ran track and had a personal trainer- I was pretty fit- "No we're just friends albeit best friends."
"Oh," I said stopping abruptly. She slammed into me and started grumbling. I continued with my back still to her, "I guess that's a bit better. So how long have you been friends?"
She answered, "Well we've been going to the same school since September so since then basically."
"So basically every time I've bitched about Luke to you you've been best friends with him?" I asked my voice low, cold and heartless. I felt like I'd been betrayed. Bet they'd had a right a laugh about me behind my back.
"I'm sorry Tess but I just couldn't tell you, I know how much you hate him," she sighed, "I couldn't tell anyone."
"Especially Mitchie, it would break her wouldn't it?" I said it dawning on me as I said it.
I turned round to face her and Caitlyn nodded, her big brown eyes all watery.
"She never got over that loss last year, no matter how many campers joined Camp Rock, she hates us because we cheated and she hates herself for letting us beat her, she thinks she let the camp down since it was only her and Shane's voices that carried the weight of the camp that night, even if they were much better and deserved to win, I guess since she decided to forgive me all her anger goes to Luke- especially since he treated us all like crap- why are you friends with him?" I theorised.
"He doesn't treat me like crap- I kind of tamed him," she smiled half heartedly.
"Look Caity, here's the thing, I hate Luke and I always will, he's a twat who can't get over the fact I sing much better than him and thinks he is the best singer in the world- which he isn't!" I exclaimed, Caitlyn gave me a get to the point look, "But you and me are cool together, we work and I like you, so I'm prepared to forget about you and Luke being friends completely, you can be friends with him but just not in front of me please!"
Caitlyn giggled slightly and agreed to my proposal. I smiled, pleased with the, almost, mature way I had handled the situation.
"You know we do make an awesome team," commented Caitlyn.
"I know," I said wondering where she was going with this.
"And we can't let Camp Star show off can we?" she asked.
"Of course not," I replied impatiently.
"You remember that song we wrote 6 months ago right?" she wondered.
"Yep," I said after a few moments scanning through my memory.
"I have the music back at camp, lots of glitter and my dancers know a dance that will go with it perfectly," she grinned mischievously.
"We can be there and back in 20 minutes right?" I smiled returning the grin.
"Maybe 15," she beamed, "I'll go tell the dancers to warm up, meet me by the boats in 2."
I nodded, that girl is crazy.
20 minutes later
We had about 30 dancers crowded around the back of the stage. We'd brought across a few smoke machines and some crazy lights. Then of course we'd sprinkled glitter everywhere, painted our faces in pretty glitter patterns with loads of different colours and used glitter spray in our hair. The boys had complained but we'd done it to them to anyway.
Sneaking back to camp and grabbing all this stuff with Caitlyn had been hilarious.
We'd changed out of our heels but left on the pretty dresses. We looked amazing with all this glitter.
We didn't know what had happened to Ella, whether she was still in the rest room or not, we hadn't had time to find out but if she was I'd hoped this performance would draw her out.
Soon we were finally ready- all glitter-fied and ready to go. Caitlyn put the music into the CD player and we all walked on to the stage, the dancers set things up as I began to speak.
"Hi everyone, me, Caitlyn and all my other friends behind me thought you didn't really give us a chance to answer back earlier so we thought we'd do it now instead of going through all the trouble of having another crappy Camp Wars- I mean c'mon was that really any fun- I didn't think so, so we'll just skip right to the winning performance now I think. This is a song that me and Caitlyn wrote about 6 months ago, basically just telling you all that you all have to suck it because we are who we are!" I yelled smiling at my amazing introduction.
Caitlyn pressed play and the speakers started to vibrate- the music was crazy loud.
I grabbed the mike and swayed to the music as I sang the words. The others behind me did the complex dance sequence; I just stared into the crowd and sang...
Hot and dangerous
If you're one of us, then roll with us
'Cause we make the hipsters fall in love
When we've got our hotpants on enough
And yes, of course we does
We're running this town just like a club
And no, you don't wanna mess with us
Got Jesus on my necklace
I pointed to the cross on my necklace then the glitter on my eyes.
Got that glitter on my eyes
Stockings ripped all up the side
Looking sick and sexy-fied
So let's go-oh-oh, let's go
Tonight we're going har-har-har-har-har-hard
Just like the world is our-our-our-our-our-ours
We're tearin' it apar-par-par-par-par-part
You know we're superstars
We are who we are
We're dancing like we're dumb-dumb-du-du-du-dumb
Our bodies go numb-numb-nu-nu-nu-numb
We'll be forever young-young-y-y-y-young
You know we're superstars
We are who we are!
DJ turn it up
It's about damn time to live it up
I'm so sick of being so serious
It's making my brain delirious
I'm just talkin' truth
I'm telling you 'bout the shit we do
We're sellin' our clothes, sleepin' in cars
Dressin' it down, hittin' on dudes, hard
I've got that glitter on my eyes
Stockings ripped all up the side
Looking sick and sexy-fied
So let's go-o-o (Let's go!)
Tonight we're going har-har-har-har-har-hard
Just like the world is our-our-our-our-our-ours
We're tearin' it apar-par-par-par-par-part
You know we're superstars
We are who we are
We're dancing like we're dumb-dumb-du-du-du-dumb
Our bodies go numb-numb-nu-nu-nu-numb
We'll be forever young-young-y-y-y-young
You know we're superstars
We are who we are
DJ turn it up-up-up-up-up-up-up
DJ turn it up-up-up-up-up-up-up
DJ turn it up-up-up-up-up-up-up
DJ turn it up-up-up-up-up-up-up
This part is where the music paused for a second, we all moved in slow motion, and then the dancers continued their amazing dance while I just swayed as usual.
Tonight we're going har-har-har-har-har-hard
Just like the world is our-our-our-our-our-ours
We're tearin' it apar-par-par-par-par-part
You know we're superstars
We are who we are
We're dancing like we're dumb-dumb-du-du-du-dumb
Our bodies go numb-numb-nu-nu-nu-numb
We'll be forever young-young-y-y-y-young
You know we're superstars
We are who we are
OW!
The crowd below looked shocked but everyone burst into applause. I scanned the crowd for a familiar face and found East. I hugged Caitlyn, we jumped around celebrating for a few moments, and then without thinking I ran to meet East.
So, thoughts on East and Tess? Hmm- is there a couple name there? Test? Teast?
And the reason why Tess' half siblings are here is revealed- their dad died! Was that obvious? Do you feel bad for them? Thoughts?
Then of course Caitlyn and Tess' confrontation- too short? Not dramatic enough? Or was it sweet? Honestly I don't know.
Lastly Tess as Kesha. I always imagined her as that kind of singer. What did you think? And what did you think of the description and all the glitter?
Thanks for reading and pretty please review!
