Camp rock was flying by. I guess Caitlyn was not kidding when she said that everyone would find out. I walked toward the kitchen to start lunch when I heard someone playing. It sounded amazing. I followed the voice and saw Shane Gray sitting by the water playing his guitar. I tried to stay quiet and sneak away but I stepped on a stick and Shane head snapped up and he said pissed,
"Can't a guy get any privacy?"
I didn't move. Maybe he didn't see me or hear me. But of course my luck was not with me today. He sighed and said,
"I can hear you."
"Sorry." I said stepping out from behind the tree. "Was that you playing that?" I asked.
"What about it?" He asked.
"Nothing it was just different." I tried to explain myself.
"What, than my usual cookie cutter pop star stuff? Sorry to disappoint you." Shane said rolling his eyes.
"You didn't. I liked it. I mean, it was good for stupid cookie cutter pop star stuff." I told him with a laugh.
"Wow, you really know how to make a guy feel better." He stated with a smile.
I don't think I have seen Shane smile since he got here at camp. It was different. But it was a nice different. I looked at him in the eyes and asked,
"I thought you loved your sound. You created it here. You're like a Camp Rock legend."
"Some legend. I only play the music that the label thinks will sell. That's it." He said with a sigh.
You could tell that he did not like his answer. It was kind of sad that he built this big fan base and everything that he did was for the fans at first but I guess after they got signed that was when everything changed and they were overpowered by the record company.
"You don't think that song would sell?" I asked curiously.
He thought about my question for a second and then said,
"I don't know."
"Well, you'll never know if you don't try. And, by the way, I know of one girl that would by that song."
And with that I left him to his thought. I walked into the kitchen to get lunch ready. I really hope I helped Shane at least a little bit. You could tell that he was trapped within himself and he did not like the person that was shown on the outside. He wanted to let his true self escape. I was lost in my thoughts the whole time. I walked to meet Caitlyn by the entrance of the mess hall. She smiled to me and asked,
"How was your day?"
"It is good so far." I said with a big grin.
"Owwweee! What is going on? You better spill." She said.
"I will tell you later. Actually I want to talk to you later anyways." I told her.
I wanted to share with her about my dreams. About the guy that has been in them. Maybe she would know what they mean. We sat with her friends and enjoyed lunch. Once we were done, Caitlyn dragged me back to our cabin.
*Shane's POV*
I walked back to my cabin thinking about what Mitchie was talking about. She was right about my song. I should be allowed to do what I want to sing and play. This is our style and music. I think I would talk to the guys about it. There was something different about Mitchie and I just don't know what it was about her. She seemed different than other girls but it was also like he knew her already but he could not put it on his finger on how. I picked up my phone and called Nate.
"Come on pick up." I said to myself.
"Hello." Nate said on the other line.
"Hey man, what's up?" I asked.
"Hey Shane. Hold on let me put you on speaker." Nate said and then you heard Jason,
"Hey Shane, how is my birdhouse?"
I just shook my head and before I could tell Jason I was not going to make him a bird house Nate interrupted and asked,
"So what's up?"
"So I wanted to talk to you two about our music." I said straight away.
"What about it?" Nate asked concerned.
"I have been thinking and I think that we need to go back to our old sound and play what we want to play." I explained.
"Where did this come from? Are you doing alright down there?" Nate asked.
I snickered and said,
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just have been thinking and I thought I would get your point of view on it." I stated.
"Oh really. And none of this would be because of a girl?" Jason asked from the background.
"What? How did you hear about that?" I asked not thinking about what I just said.
"So it's true?" They both said at the same time.
I just shook my head and said,
"Well,
