"So Mitchie what was it that your mom does in China? Tell us everything about your mother job for Hot Tunes in China." Tess said.

"Well, my mother…" I started to stutter.

I looked over to Caitlyn and she was worried. I did not know what to say. I looked back to Tess and said,

"My mother is great. She was…." I almost let it slipped.

Tess eye grew and said,

"Your mother is not the president of Hot Tunes in China. Tell everyone the truth or I will."

I looked around to all my friends and I knew I could not keep the secret any longer. I took a deep breath and said,

"My mother is a cook. She does not work for Hot Tunes and we have never lived in China."

No one said a word. Tess grinned but and said,

"Let's go girls. Mitchie has dishes to clean."

Everyone started to leave. I turned around and was face to face with Shane. He looked upset. Standing behind him was Nate and Jason.

"Shane let me explain." I started to say. But Shane interrupted me.

"You are just like everyone else. You only saw famous Shane. I really thought you were different but I guess you were wrong. I know I gave you a ear full but save it for Hot Tunes."

Shane then walked away. Nate looked at me with sympathy and Jason gave me a small smile. I wanted to cry. Caitlyn grabbed me and said,

"Not here. Come on Mitchie."

She took me back to her cabin. I just sat there crying. I could not believe that Tess did that to me. She was real ass bitch. Caitlyn sat by me and put her arm over my shoulder. We just sat there in silence. After A while I looked over to Caitlyn and said,

"I think I want to be a lone for a while. I'm going for a walk."

I got up and walked to the beach side. I had my guitar with me and I started to play it. I had a song stuck in my head.

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am, there's no way to hold it in
No more hidin' who I wanna be, this is me, yeah

Do you know what it's like to feel so in the dark?
To dream about a life when you're the shining star
Even though it seems like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself, it's the only way

I continued to play until I heard someone clapping. I turned to see Nate standing there. He was smiling at me. I looked at him shocked.

"That was amazing. You have a raw talent." Nate said approaching me.

"Thanks. That means a lot." I said trying to hide the tears.

"You the one that Shane was rude too. I want to apologize to you for him. You did not deserve to be treated that way." Nate said.

"Thanks but I deserved it. Shane was open with me and all I did was lie to him. He told me things that he said that he has not told anyone before. I ruined that trust between us. I know that it was wrong to lie to him but it's complicated." I tried to explain.

Nate sat down with me and said,

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Nate Black and you are?"

"Mitchie Torres. Nice to meet you Nate. Thanks for keeping me company." I said with a smile.

"Wait, your name is Mitchie Torres?" Nate asked shocked.

I nodded confused. Nate eyes grew. He then asked,

"Your parents are Steve and Connie Torres?"

"How did you know my parents?" I asked not realizing I presented it as the past.

"Wait did you just say did? As in the past?" Nate asked shocked.

I sighed and realized that I made a mistake. I looked away from Nate and said,

"Yes I did mean the past. My parents died in a car crash before I came to camp."

"I am so sorry Mitchie but I think I know someone that would like to know about this. Could you follow me?" Nate asked

I looked at him scared but I was curious. Nate got up and I followed him. We ended up at Shane's cabin. I looked at Nate and said,

"What are we doing here?"

"Don't worry. Shane is not here. But there is someone in there that I think you need to talk to." Nate said opening the door.

There stood….
