AN: Aww, you guys are soooo awesome! Did you get to see the Jonas Brothers on GMA this morning? I did, and I'm so not a morning person. I woke up, and jumped out of bed, and turned the TV on, and turned the volume up, and blasted it when the JB were singing all their songs. And I cheered along with everyone else after they finished each of their songs. They were soooo awesome! And I soooo can't wait for their album to come out next Tuesday. Only 4 more days until Burnin' Up! I don't know how much more I can wait. I keep telling myself that it will be "A little bit longer, and I'll be fine." Lol. I won't say much more, except to thank everyone who reviewed.
Thanks to all of my reviewers, including:
x-xdonna994x-x, I hope Shane doesn't mess up either. Or Mitchie.
ersy, I'm working on it. But really though, it's up to Mitchie, not me. Lol.
AlexaJ, me too. I love what you wrote…that you're gonna go play some baseball. Lol.
Lilyana, I hope they forgive each other too. I don't know how much longer I can go without a Smitchie reunion, and I don't want to find out. I'd love to see Tess get what she deserves.
epobbp, I'm sure you're a better writer than you think. Thanks for the song suggestions. I decided to go with…well, you'll just have to read it to find out, won't you? (laughs an evil laugh).
Arya, I'm happy you liked that whole happy/sad thing. And I'm with you…I can't wait to find out what happens either! J/k.
Angie-ange, I hope they win all the awards too. Here's the next chapter, and thanks for the brownies and milk. (smiles)
Nikkieee02, you got it. And thanks for the positive feedback. I love it!
utmy123, so is Mitchie (she's speechless too). If I were her, I'd be stunned into silence. For a second, at least. I mean, having your favorite celebrity come back and ask you for another chance? I think I'd faint, or scream, or jump up and down, or just be like, "OMG!!" Or maybe all of those things at the same time.
xxorangexxmonkeyxx, yup. Joe's cool that way. And they're all my favorite. Although I started off liking Kevin more (I felt bad that he didn't get as much attention as his brothers, plus he's soooo sweet, and hot…), then I started liking Nick (I love his voice, his smile, his laugh, his hair, his muscles, everything about Nick is just plain hot! And yeah, Nick J really is off the chain), and now I think Joe's getting hotter by the second. He's burning up! Lol. I seriously can't choose a favorite now, because I love them all.
OneWIshMakeItCount, no problem, I know how it is when you can't get to a computer. I hope everyone makes up too, and Tess gets what she really deserves. But it's really not my decision to make, it's theirs (lol).
othfan67, I'm so sorry for the delay. My cousin came to visit last night (they wanted to surprise me), so I didn't get a chance to write at all). And her kids are soooo adorable – they're 2 and 4, and they're soooo cute! I just couldn't say no when they kept asking me to play with them.
christina985791, if I were Mitchie, I don't know if I'd ever be able to not forgive Shane. I mean, yeah, he really hurt her, but she hurt him too. Plus, she'd feel really stupid if she broke things off with the hottest popstar on the planet, and he started dating someone else (and she wasn't over him yet). So let's just say Mitchie's really forgiving, but at the same time, she doesn't want to get hurt again. Let's see what she does…
Special AN: epobbp, thank you for the song you suggested. It worked perfectly for the story (hmm…I wonder how that happened).
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Camp Rock. If I did, Shane and Mitchie would end up together, Nate and Caitlyn would end up together, and Jason and Ella would end up together. And I'd invite the Jonas Brothers to come to Camp Rock, and I'd marry all of them (except Frankie, since he's too young for me). And I also don't own I Still Believe, from the Cinderella 3 soundtrack (I changed the lyrics a little to make it fit the story, since Shane's singing to Mitchie, not Mitchie singing to Shane). But I do own Katie.
Chapter 20 – What I Go To School For (Part 2)
"MITCHIE!" Shane yelled, trying to push his way through the crowd. His yells were lost in the crowd of screaming and excited girls.
"I've got an idea," Nate said calmly. He took the microphone, and spoke into it.
"Hey, everyone," Nate said, as the crowd hushed. "Shane's got something he wants to say."
"Thanks, man," Shane said, as he took the microphone from Nate. "Mitchie, are you out there?"
Mitchie turned red as some of the girls turned around, saw her, and started whispering. More and more people started noticing her, and Jason came down and brought her over to the band.
"Mitchie, I really want to tell you something, but I think this song says it better than I ever could," Shane said, as he started singing.
Somehow I know I will find a way,
To a brighter day, in the sun
Somewhere I know that she waits for me,
Someday soon she'll see, I'm the one.
I won't give up on this feeling,
And nothing could keep me away.
'Cuz I still believe in destiny,
That you and I were meant to be.
I still wish on the stars as they fall from above,
'Cause I still believe, believe in love.
(Na na na, na nana, na na na, na nana)
I know what's real cannot be denied,
Although it may hide for a while.
With just one touch love can calm your fears,
Turning all your tears into smiles.
It's such a wondrous feeling,
I know that my heart can't be wrong.
'Cuz I still believe in destiny,
That you and I were meant to be.
I still wish on the stars as they fall from above,
'Cuz I still believe, believe in love.
Love can make miracles, change everything,
Lift you from the darkness, and make your heart sing (make your heart sing),
Love is forever, when you fall, it's the greatest power of all.
Oh I still believe in destiny,
That you and I were meant to be.
I still wish on the stars as they fall from above,
'Cause I still believe, believe in love.
Yes I still believe, believe in love.
I still believe in love,
(na na na, na nana, na na na, na nana)
I still believe, believe in love,
I still believe, believe in love.
By the time Shane finished singing, he was crying, and all the girls "Aww'ed" him. Mitchie was also crying. She couldn't keep the tears from streaming down her face.
"So, Mitchie, do you take Shane as your boyfriend, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, or for poorer, in sickness and in health…" Jason said. Some people laughed, while most of the girls looked dreamy-eyed at Jason. Ella gave them a glance that Tess would be proud of.
"Dude, they're not getting married," Nate hissed at Jason, who looked stunned.
"Oh, so that's where I heard that," Jason clapped his hand to his forehead in realization. He blushed. "Oops. Sorry, guys."
"It's OK, Jason. And yes, Shane, I forgive you," Mitchie cried, as everyone made way for Shane to go to her.
"I never thought you would. Mitchie, I really am sorry," Shane said, crying like he'd just eaten a raw onion. He wiped his eyes and Mitchie hugged him.
"Me too," Mitchie said. "What happened was a mistake. I never wanted to hurt you like that. I promise, it won't happen again."
"Yeah, dude," Nate said, taking Mitchie's cue. "Mitchie loves you. And you love her."
"KISS HER!" Jason yelled, as Shane and Mitchie both looked embarrassed.
Shane pulled back, and asked, "Mitchie, can we start over again?"
"Yeah," Mitchie said, beginning to get a little dreamy eyed herself. "I'd like that."
"YEAH!" Jason shouted, as Nate stared at him. "Shane and Mitchie, sittin' in a tree…"
"DUDE!" Shane and Nate both yelled at Jason.
"Sorry…" Jason held up his hands in surrender, looking sheepish.
Jason and Nate offered to sign autographs in order to distract the crowd, so that Shane and Mitchie could have some alone time.
Shane pulled Mitchie aside, and lost himself in her eyes. "Hi, I'm Shane." Shane said, then immediately berated himself for not being able to think straight when he was looking at her.
"And I'm Mitchie," Mitchie said, playing along. She laughed as Shane grinned. "I'm pleased to meet you."
"So am I," Shane said, taking her hand in his. He paused a moment, then said, "I can't do this."
"Me either," Mitchie managed to say right before Shane's lips crashed onto hers. They kissed for a few moments, then broke apart, breathing hard.
"Mitchie, I've missed you so much," Shane said, looking at her again. He ran his hand along her cheek, and Mitchie melted against his touch. "I hope you missed me too."
"You have no idea," Mitchie said, kissing him again. Then she broke off their kiss, and smacked Shane.
"HEY!" Shane said, surprised. "What was that for?"
"That was for kissing Tess, and this is for coming back and apologizing," Mitchie said, kissing the place where she'd hit him.
"Nothing could've kept me away for much longer," Shane admitted. He smiled down at her. "Wanna go back on tour with us? And get Caitlyn and Nate back together?"
"Yeah, but how would we do that? They can be really stubborn when they want to be," Mitchie said.
"I know," Shane answered her. "Neither of them like admitting when they're wrong."
"We'll come up with something. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to finish lunch with Sierra." Mitchie said reluctantly.
"Mind if I join you?" Shane said. "I'm starved."
"When you see the food in the cafeteria, you won't be," Mitchie promised. They went back to the cafeteria, where students were coming back in after Connect 3's appearance. A group of people all offered their lunch to Shane as soon as he stepped inside. He smiled, and went to line up. Once he got his lunch, he went back to where Mitchie and Sierra were. Everyone in the cafeteria resumed talking, but no one could keep their eyes off Mitchie's table.
"Oh my Gray, you're Shane!" Sierra gasped as her idol sat next to her best friend. She smacked Mitchie. "Why didn't you tell me you 2 knew each other?"
"That's not all," Shane said, glancing over at Mitchie, silently asking for her approval to let Sierra in on their little secret. Mitchie nodded, and Shane continued. "See, Mitchie and I…" Shane lowered his voice, so that no one could hear them. "We're dating."
"YOU'RE DATING??" Sierra shrieked, then clapped her hands over her mouth. "Oops! I mean, since when?"
"Since the end of Final Jam," Mitchie answered, trying to ignore the looks everyone was giving them.
"Yeah, I was going to ask Mitchie to come back on tour with us," Shane said.
"Mitchie, you should totally go!" Sierra was so excited.
"But Sierra, the tour's a year long," Mitchie said, as Sierra frowned.
"It is?" Sierra asked. Mitchie thought she looked a little sad.
"Sierra, if you don't want me to go…" Mitchie offered. But Sierra cut her off.
"No, you should definitely go. Go hang out with your new boyfriend and your new best friend Caitlyn. Just forget about good old Sierra, she won't mind at all…" Sierra stood up and walked away.
"Sierra, wait!" Mitchie said, getting up and trying to run after her. On the way, she ran into Katie, who was walking toward Mitchie's table.
"Oh good, the table's clear," Katie said to her friends. "Mind if we sit here?" Katie sat down before Mitchie could answer.
"So, Shane, you're with Mitchie?" Katie asked, trying to confirm what she'd just overheard Sierra telling Mitchie.
"Yeah, I am," Shane wrapped his arm around Mitchie, and Mitchie smiled happily.
"Cool," Katie smiled back. "So, Mitchie, I'm having this party later this week, wanna come?"
"I don't know," Mitchie said, still thinking of Shane's offer.
"Come on, it'll be fun. After all, I'm the one throwing it. And of course, all the important people will be there. You can't miss it. Shane, do you want to come?" Katie said, giving Shane a once-over.
"I don't think so, I'm kind of busy, actually, with my tour," Shane said. He knew exactly what Katie was doing, since he'd dealt with girls just like her before. They were all the same, super sweet and nice on the outside. Cold, backstabbing, heartless girls on the inside.
"Mitchie?" Katie turned her attention on her. Mitchie held her breath, wishing she knew what to do.
Mitchie's POV: Should I turn Katie down, and risk my potential popularity, and try to work things out with Sierra? Or should I accept Katie's invitation, and lose Sierra's friendship, even though we've been best friends forever? Or should I even stay here at school, maybe lose Sierra as a friend, never have the chance to be popular, and lose Shane forever? This is so hard…
AN: So, what'd you think? Besides that I'm evil for leaving you with a major cliffhanger… What will Mitchie do about Sierra? Will Mitchie and Shane ever get Caitlyn and Nate back together? What's Katie up to? What should Mitchie do? Please tell me, because I think the story could go in any direction. The faster you review, the faster you'll find out. Now please, go hit that purple button and review! Lol.
