AN: Aww, you guys are the best reviewers anyone could ever ask for. I dedicate this chapter to all of you. You deserve it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Camp Rock or any of the characters. And I don't own the Jonas Brothers. But I wish I did, because I love them soooo much!
Chapter 30 – The Love Letter (Part 2)
"What do you mean?" Mitchie narrowed her eyes at Tess, who continued to smile evilly. Then, Tess' expression quickly changed to one so completely angelic, and Mitchie thought she only imagined Tess' smirk.
"Shane, just the person I was looking for," Tess smiled. "Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure, what about?" Shane said, putting his arm around Mitchie. He gave Mitchie a quick kiss, and as they broke apart, Mitchie glimpsed Tess glaring at her for a moment, quickly replaced by an innocent expression.
"I don't really want to talk about it," Tess said. "It's kind of private."
"Go ahead, Tess," Mitchie urged. "We're friends, right?"
"Yeah, but…" Tess was forced to say, but Shane interrupted.
"Mitchie, do you mind?" Shane asked. Mitchie's eyes widened, and she walked away.
"Mitchie, wait," Shane said, following her and pulling her back. "Tess…she's like me. I can help her. Just like you helped me. Please…"
"OK," Mitchie said grudgingly. "But if she tries anything…"
"I won't let her," Shane promised. "I'm all yours." Shane smiled, but Mitchie still felt uneasy.
Mitchie's POV: For now…But if Tess gets her way, Shane will forget all about me.
"If you say so," Mitchie put on a brave smile, but on the inside, she wasn't nearly as confident as she seemed.
"I'm all yours, and no one else's," Shane repeated. "You're the one I love, not Tess, not any other girl. Just you, OK?"
"OK," Mitchie said, getting lost in his eyes. They smiled at each other, then Tess cleared her throat, interrupting them.
"Ahem," Tess said again, clearly getting impatient.
"The queen awaits," Mitchie mumbled under her breath as Shane went over to Tess.
Mitchie went back to Peggy and Sierra. "It was just as I suspected. Tess is behind it."
"I knew it!" Peggy fumed, starting to pace back and forth, as Sierra just wiped her eyes.
"But what can we do about it?" Sierra wondered.
"I don't know," Peggy stopped in her tracks. "Zack won't talk to me."
"But maybe Mark will," Mitchie said, coming up with a plan.
"What do you mean?" Sierra looked intrigued.
"Peggy, you talk to Mark, and Sierra, you talk to Zack. Maybe if Peggy flirts with Mark and Sierra flirts with Zack, then Zack will get jealous and try to win Peggy back, and Mark will be jealous and do everything he can to get Sierra back," Mitchie said, grinning.
"That's a great idea!" Both Sierra and Peggy squealed happily.
"I know," Mitchie smiled, then joined in as Sierra and Peggy laughed.
Meanwhile…
"Nate, are you busy?" Ella said, as Nate opened his door.
"No, what's up?" Nate looked like he'd been crying. He let Ella into his room.
"I can't stop thinking about Jason," Ella said, sitting on his bed.
"Yeah, and I can't stop thinking about Caitlyn," Nate said, sitting next to her.
"Jason won't talk to me. I've tried to see him, text him, and call him, but he doesn't respond," Ella looked miserable.
"I know, he keeps telling me over and over how he can't believe what you did," Nate sighed. "It's getting a little annoying. No offense."
"Do you think I went too far?" Ella said. "After all, I did tell him that I liked you."
"Do you?" Nate asked her.
"Not like I like Jason," Ella said, hoping Nate wouldn't be insulted.
"Good," Nate let out a sigh of relief. "If you did, Caitlyn would kill me."
"Yeah, she probably would," Ella said. "But what are you going to do? I mean, to get Caitlyn back?"
"I was thinking about that," Nate said. "I know Caitlyn gets jealous easily, and when she does, she fights harder for what she wants. So maybe, if I go out with someone else, Caitlyn will try and get me back."
"Yeah," Ella said, as the thought occurred to her. "I think Jason might feel the same way, if I were to make him jealous by going out with some other guy. But who?"
"Good question," Nate said, getting up. He thought for a few moments, then looked at Ella. "Ella…"
"Yeah?" Ella said, looking up at him.
"Do you want to make Jason jealous? With me, I mean?" Nate waited for Ella's response.
"Yeah!" Ella said, thinking it was a good idea.
"OK, here's what we'll do…" Nate told Ella the plan, and she couldn't agree more.
Meanwhile, with Jason…
Jason's POV: I can't believe Ella likes Nate. Wait, does she like Nate? Or did she just lie about liking him so I'd get jealous? I don't know, but just thinking about it makes my head hurt.
"Jason, can I talk to you?" Caitlyn said, as Jason walked right into her, completely lost in thought. "HEY!" Caitlyn exclaimed, as she fell down.
"Sorry," Jason said, coming back to reality. He helped Caitlyn up.
"What were you thinking about?" Caitlyn said, knowing Jason didn't mean it.
"Ella," Jason moaned, wiping his eyes again.
"Aww, you really like her, don't you?" Caitlyn's heart went out to him.
"Yeah, I do. At least, I did. But now, she likes Nate," Jason said sadly.
Caitlyn's POV: I can't believe Ella's after Nate. Nate's MINE! Even if I have to get Ella and Jason back together myself.
"Not if I can do something about that," Caitlyn said, as Jason looked confused. Caitlyn told Jason what she was planning to do, and Jason looked like he was over the moon by the time Caitlyn finished talking.
"YEAH!" Jason said happily.
Later that night…
"Hey, Brown," Nate said. "Thanks for coming tonight. We're definitely going to need your help."
"I know," Brown said. "I can sense it from a mile away. Just look at you guys."
Brown surveyed the group, as they were all sitting at separate tables. Caitlyn and Jason sat together, Nate and Ella sat together, Peggy and Mark sat together, and Sierra and Zack sat together. Mitchie was sitting with Brown, and Mitchie glared, watching Shane and Tess sitting together and talking.
"Dear Lord, this is gonna be the worst dinner ever," Brown remarked, looking at his charges. "We're gonna have World War 3000 by the end of tonight. Oh well, let's get it on, shall we?"
"With pleasure," Mitchie said, getting up and going over to Shane and Tess' table.
AN: Will Tess steal Shane away from Mitchie? Will Shane and Mitchie stay together? Will anything happen between Caitlyn and Jason, or Nate and Ella? And what about Peggy and Mark? Or Sierra and Zack? Oh, the drama. All the couples are mixed up. But what happens next? You might be surprised…Poor Brown. I'd hate to be him right now. I wouldn't want to have to deal with all of that.
Next up, even more Camp Rock drama. All's fair in love and war, right? We'll just have to see about that…
Please review, I'd really appreciate it. And if you haven't done so already, please add me to your favorites list and alerts list.
Oh yeah, one more thing…I'm kind of stuck choosing a title for the next chapter. I'm thinking about calling it Camp Rock Smackdown, or All's Fair in Love and War?, or Tess Goes Too Far…Or I might even call it something you come up with. If I do, I'll definitely credit you for coming up with it. I'm open to all ideas, so please, tell me if you have any ideas (and tell me what they are). The sooner you review, the sooner I'll put up the next chapter (I'm working on it as I speak…I mean, write. Lol.)
