"My mother works with Hot Tunes in China. She's the president there." I blurred out.

I did not know what I was saying. I was shocked at the lie I just created. Caitlyn looked at me shocked and impressed. She could not believe it either. Tess and her friends smirked and Tess said,

"Interesting. If you want to hang out with someone cooler then we could maybe hang sometime." Tess said looking at Caitlyn when she said someone cooler.

I smirked at her and gave her a nodded. I was still in shock about the lie I told. I knew if my parents were here they would be so disappointed in me. But I could tell her the truth but then she would think of me as a loser and I did not want to be that here.

I left the Jam early. I felt someone following me and saw Caitlyn. I just went straight into my cabin and heard the door open. Caitlyn stood there looking around.

"You have your own cabin?" She asked.

I just nodded. Caitlyn could tell that there was something wrong. She walked over to me and sat right next to me. She looked at me and asked,

"What's wrong?"

"You know the thing I told Tess about my mom. Well the thing is," I began trying to find my words. I could tell by the look in Caitlyn's eyes that she knew what I was going to say next.

"Your mom is not the president of Hot Tunes China?" She asked.

I just shook my head no. I did not know what to say. I expected Caitlyn to get up and leave. To never wanting to talk to me again and tell everyone that I was lying.

"Well why did you lie?" She asked.

"I don't know. That thing is my mother is a chef for her own catering business. She was supposed to work here at Camp Rock as the new cook but," I could say the last part.

I could not admit that she died in the car accident. It still hurt to this day that they are gone and that I was alone. Caitlyn warped her arms around me and said,

"I don't care if your mother is a janitor. You are my friend and if you want to keep this a secret then I will not tell anyone. But you should know that the whole camp will find out. What are you going to do then?"

"I have no idea Caity. I don't even know why I even did it." I admitted.

"I do. You saw that Tess Tyler was cool and popular. You wanted to be in the 'it' crowd. I get it." Caitlyn explained.

"How do you get it?" I asked confused.

"Because that was me three years ago. But then I meet my true friends and I was better off without her." Caitlyn admitted.

I was surprised at what she told me. That was unexpected. I did not know that Caitlyn was part of her crew back then. It seemed like she hated Tess since she meet her but I guess you can't tell a book by it's cover. That night I got Caitlyn to stay in my cabin with me. We talked about everything and anything.

"Mitchie, I have a question for you. You don't have to answer it if you are not comfortable to. But how are you able to pay for camp rock if you mother doesn't work here?" She asked.

"I guess I should tell you everything. Since you are my best friend now." I started. Caitlyn smiled at me and gave me a hug.

"You are my best friend too." She said.

"Alright, the only reason I am able to pay for camp is because I am the new cook in the kitchen. My pay check is going to the camp." I explained to her.

I saw the look of confusion coming from her and then explained everything about my parents' death in the car accident. I didn't even know that I was tearing up over it. She grabbed me and hugged me. We sat there in silence. I could tell that Caitlyn and I was going to have a great friendship.

"Don't you have any other family?" Caitlyn asked.

I thought about it for a second and then said,

"None that would remember me." I said.

"What do you mean by that?" Caitlyn asked curious.

"Well, I remember my mom and dad always arguing about an older brother of mine but I don't remember him because I was so young back then. I can't even remember his name." I explained.

I just shrugged and told Caitlyn to get some sleep. It was going to be a big and crazy day tomorrow. Not just because we have class but she was right the whole camp would find out about my secret. That night I dreamed about this guy that was sweet and caring for me. He was tall with dark hair. His eyes showed protection and love. It made me feel safe but I question who the guy was.
