"I still don't get what you're trying to pull." Caitlyn frowned confusedly from her bed as I whisked around our cabin getting ready to leave for Brown's cabin.
"I'm not trying to pull anything." I smiled. "I told you that before." I added.
"Yeah, we know but explain it to us again." Ella asked pulling on her converse.
"He needed help, I suggested you's two. It's not complicated." I laughed.
"And you're fine with us working with your sworn enemy?" Caitlyn asked.
"He's not my sworn enemy anymore he's a frien…acquaintance." I changed the word mid-sentence because of the alarmed look they were given me. "You guys said it yourself "forget we don't get on so we don't ruin our performance"."
"Yeah, for your performance meaning you two together not his solo projects." Caitlyn commented.
"Caity, we both needed help he hooked me up and I hooked him up turns out that when we aren't being rude to each other we get on."
"And you can just forget about the last three years like that?" Ella asked snapping her fingers.
"It wasn't easy." A lie, it was very easy. "But c'mon if we're getting on don't you think I should grab this opportunity, so we can all enjoy our last year?"
I smiled as they rolled their eyes before they nodded in defeat.
"Fine." Caitlyn sighed. "We believe you."
"Good, it only took me telling you six times but I'm glad you believe me now." I teased making them throw their pillows at me.
"Well, I gotta go." Ella smiled sliding off her bed.
"Where too?" Caitlyn asked eyeing her suspiciously.
"I want quality alone time with Shane's closet." She smiled. "No offence Mitch, but your acquaintance is a horrible dresser." She giggled.
"I thought you were only helping with choreography?" Caitlyn asked the question that I was about too.
"Well, there's only so much I can do for him on that part because I'm not too sure he'd really want me to give him a full blown routine, so I'm gonna give him a hand with his wardrobe." She shrugged. "I'll see you guys at Brown's cabin in a while." She smiled before leaving.
"Ten dollars says she's only doing this for her fashion peace of mind." Caitlyn laughed as she tucked her laptop under her arm getting ready to leave with me to go to Brown's teaching cabin.
"I'm not taken a bet that I know I'll lose." I laughed.

"I still don't know why were helping her out, I thought you didn't like her." Jason said for the millionth time this day.
"Because we're getting on now, I've explained this before Jase." I sighed. "You don't mind given her a hand do you? Cause if you do I'm sure she'll not mind you pulling out on her."
I watch from the corner of my eyes as he narrowed his at me as I used the guilt card.
"I don't mind helping her; I just don't want you freaking out later on about us helping her."
"I'm not going to freak out Jase; this isn't a test to see how good of a friend you are. I honestly don't mind you helping her just like she doesn't mind her friends helping me." I promised.
"We're gonna be late, if you guys don't hurry up." Nate commented as he grabbed his guitar and headed for the door.
"Why are you in such a rush?" I asked putting on my jacket.
"Cause he wants to spend time with Caitlyn." Jason teased making Nate throw him a look that could've killed.
"Really?" I smiled tauntingly. "You have a thing for Mitchie's short friend?"
"No." He shot reflexively.
Knock! Knock!
"I'll get it." He smiled relieved.
"Hey." Ella smiled brightly the second Nate had the door opened before letting herself in.
"Uh…hi Ella, I thought we were meeting at Brown's cabin." I tried to say casually to cover my confusion.
"You guys are meeting Mitchie and Caitlyn there. I want alone time with your closet."
"I thought…"
"I was only helping you with dancing, yeah, Mitchie and Caitlyn brought up the same thing." She interrupted. "But there's only so much I can do for you there or do you want a full on N*Sync dance routine?" She challenged putting her hand on her hip.
"My closet's the middle one, see you later." I surrendered.

"One in a million, yeah. You're one in a million." I sang playing the last chords Jason and Nate had composed for me.
I thought it was going to be awkward getting started, but it hadn't been Nate and Jason were very serious about music and we started right away. I had sung my song for them a few times while they worked to find a tune to go with it, after the third time I'd sung they began bouncing tunes off each other until they found one that worked. Once they found it I scribbled the notes down before playing it back for them, of course we didn't get it right the first time so we made corrections here and there we were even talking and joking by the time we finished.
"I think that's it." Nate smiled triumphantly.
"It's a fantastic song, Mitchie." Jason complimented.
"It wouldn't have even been a song if you's hadn't helped me out." I smiled thankfully. "It's been in that book so long I'd nearly forgot about it."
"Why not?"
I shrugged, "I wrote it a while ago but never had anyone to inspire it before."
From the corner of my eye I seen Shane's lips turn up into a smile as he tried to casually listen to us at the same time not let Caitlyn know he wasn't paying attention to her.
Tess's Prov
What was this a friend swap?
It was by chance I'd spotted Ella coming out of Shane's cabin, I thought it might be an excellent way to get a few of them kicked out of camp after all no girls in boys cabin and vice versa was one of the golden rules but then I followed her here and snitching on them was the last thing on my mind.
My jaw had become more rigid as I watched them, Shane's friends helping Mitchie; Mitchie's helping Shane, what was happening? They were supposed to hate each other with all of them working together…they were ruining my chances…eugh, I didn't even want to think about it I needed someway to bring an end to this little alliance.
"You know what would make this song really pop?" Shane's bushy haired little friend asked conversationally. "If someone played the tune on piano as you play it on guitar."
"Oh my…that would be awesome." Mitchie's excited little squeal rang through my head annoyingly.
"But who could we get to play piano?" Shane's taller friend, with the always vacant look on his face asked.
"I'd do it for you, Mitchie, but I already told Shane I'd play drums for him." The short one said apologetically
"It's fine." Mitchie smiled reassuringly patting him on the shoulder. "Caity, can put something together on her laptop she's amazing at stuff like that." She smiled, that goofy wide smile, before walking towards Shane and her two loser friends at the other side of the room.
"Hey Shane, do you mind if I talk to my friends for a bit?" She asked standing behind them so she wasn't intruding on the little conference they had going on.
"No problem." He smiled happily, I didn't like that smile it showed their comradeship I liked it better when they were fighting even if it did make them more popular at least it made their performance suck.
I watched as he walked past her, my eyes fixed on the way their hands brushed each others subtly were my eyes playing tricks or did he stroke the back of her hand with his finger?
I frowned and shook it off quickly; I needed to work fast if I wanted to ruin this friendship.

"How are you guys getting on?" I asked, hopefully.
Even though I hadn't heard them exchange any angry words and even heard them laughing a couple of times, it still didn't mean anything till I heard what they thought of her straight from them…it was easy to fake things.
They exchanged a cautious look; oh gawd was it that bad? But the laughing…they were extremely good actors.
"Don't hate us." Nate started.
"But we really like her." Jason finished.
I felt my jaw drop in surprise, "Really?"
"Yeah." Nate confirmed while pulling a face as if he were facing a barrel of a gun.
"That's great." I smiled encouragingly.
"What?" They chorused together in surprise.
"I'm glad you like her, I don't want you's to dislike her just because I used to."
"You're not mad?" Jason wondered.
"Nope." I promised. "I think it's cool we're all starting to get on."
Mitchie's Prov
"So, how's it going?" I asked in a whisper, asking for their help took second place to my curiosity.
I had tried to listen to their conversation while working with Nate and Jason but I couldn't hear anything, they spoke too quietly and it was hard to listen and sing at the same time.
"The boy has an attention span of a goldfish." Caitlyn frowned.
"And has very little fashion knowledge." Ella sighed.
I cringed internally, this wasn't good.
"But he's very talented." Caitlyn smiled crookedly.
"And with my help, and the way I colour co-ordinated his wardrobe his fashion sense will improve considerately." Ella smiled.
"Wait, does that mean you like him?" I asked confusedly.
"Yeah." Ella nodded. "Wait; is it o.k. for us to like him?" She asked nervously.
"It's great." I beamed excitedly, but I reeled in my enthusiasm when they shot me questioning looks. "I mean it's great we're all getting along." I smiled casually.
