Caitlyn and I gave the guys a few minutes to talk to Brown. We went to find our new friends. Everyone was looking at us. I smiled over to Caitlyn. We saw Lola and the others. They ran up to us and Lola asked,
"How do you know Connect Three? That is way cool."
"Well, it's a long story I guess. But it all started online on their live chat." I tried to explain.
"So how were able to brainwash Shane to let you sing with him? I think he just interacted with a slacker." A voice said behind me.
We all turned to see a blonde hair girl standing there with two other girls. I looked over to Lola and our new friends and they were not excited to see who it was. Lola spoke up and said,
"What do you want Tess? Leave these two alone. You don't even know their story. So how about not start rumors about something you know nothing about."
Tess glared over to Lola and said,
"Then how about they share their story. We can be the judge on if it's true or not."
"Actually we don't have to share anything with you. We know what happened and it's really none of your business. I don't care if you think you are all that. But where I come from you earn the trust to know who I am. So it's none of your business." Caitlyn spoke up and said.
Right then I felt an arm go around my shoulders and I look up to see Shane was standing there. Nate did the same thing with Caitlyn. He gave her a look and she just shrugged. Jason stood in the middle of us and asked,
"Is everything alright Mitchie and Caitlyn?"
"Yeah, there was just a little misunderstanding here. But it was all sorted out. So how about you show us around. We can introduce you to our new friends." I suggested.
Shane nodded and lead us away. We all walked around and then ended up by the lake. We all sat down and our new friends looked at us and Sander asked,
"So is it alright to ask you guys how you meet?"
I nodded and said,
"Caitlyn and I were on the live chat for the new album for Connect Three. I commented on it speaking my mind. I told Shane that he needed to change his attitude and that he was a better person when he was less famous. Then Nate and Jason contacted us and told me that I was brave to stand up to Shane and offered to get us tickets to their next concert in our home town."
"So we go to the concert and we have front row seats. Shane picked Mitchie to sing with at the end of the concert. They then found that Mitchie was the same person from online. Shane was so surprised. We then hanged out after that and got to know each other." Caitlyn finished.
"Well, that is crazy. But I think it was cool that you stood up to Tess. Not a lot of people do that." Barren explained.
"Yeah, what is up with her?" I asked.
"She thinks she is all that with a bag of chips because her mother is famous." Lola explained.
"Yeah, Tess is like that in person as well. She has been on our tail for a while now. She thinks Shane and herself are meant to be together." Nate explained.
I looked over to Shane and he spoke up and said,
"I want nothing to do with that girl. She is letting the fame go to her head. I learn from my mistake of letting the fame go to my head and I don't want to surround myself around those type of people."
I nodded and then saw what time it was. I sighed and got up. Caitlyn looked at me and I said,
"We have to go help mom. We promised."
Everyone looked at us and I told them,
"The way we were able to come to camp rock was that my mom works as the new cook in the kitchen. We told my mom we would help her. So we will catch up with you guys later."
They nodded and Caitlyn got up. Shane and Nate followed with us. I smiled to them. They walked up all the way to the kitchen. We all walked in and I saw my mom at work. She turned around and smiled at us.
"What do you need us to do mom?" I asked.
She smiled to us and said,
"Don't worry about it today. This is your first day here. I have it under control right now. Check in with me tomorrow morning. You just go and have some fun right now."
Caitlyn and I both gave her a hug and thanked her. My mom was the best. She said hi to Shane and Nate. We went back out and I asked,
"Now what?"
"Well, we could take a walk around camp." Shane suggested.
"You guys can do that. I think I am going to go to our cabin and get settled in. See you guys at dinner." Caitlyn said.
Nate walked with her and it was just Shane and myself now. I looked at him and asked,
"Which way?"
He lead the way and we just wandered around the camp. He would point out a few spots that were important to him. He would tell me stories about the time he was here. It was nice to get to know this Shane. He stopped by the lake and said,
"Right here was where I had to jump in to get a way from Tess one time."
"Did you really do that?" I asked.
"Yep, she would not leave me alone and kept following me. So, I jumped right in and swam a little far away from the shore. I was clothed and everything. The guys laughed at me when I came back into the cabin." He shared.
I couldn't help but laugh. I could picture it in my mind. We kept walking and it was a great way to start the first day of camp. I was excited to see how this all was going to end. But right now it was peaceful.
