"Mikayla?" Hannah growled. Tess nodded. They both looked extremely angry. Mikayla was also a pop star who was - as the gossip sites had said - Hannah Montana's arch rival. Now, I didn't believe those sites at first. But seeing Hannah's reaction at the sound of her name, I'm convinced they don't get along. Anyway, Hannah was now sitting on her bed cursing Mikayla. I don't get the rivalry really. Mikayla has had only one song which was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 - If Cupid Had A Heart whilst Hannah has had more than ten. But, you know, you really don't get celebrities. They can be the nicest people when they meet you but can be a devil when you're not around.

Meanwhile, Caitlyn and I stared at both of them looking absolutely stupefied. Tess said, "Mikayla runs the school we go to (Hannah nodded). She has made our lives hell at school. It doesn't matter if Hannah's a pop star or my mother is TJ Tyler, we're both losers there." Hannah added, "And I'm darn sure that that little skunk is gonna make us look like clowns here too." I felt for them. I'm treated the same way at school. I sat beside Hannah and patted her back and said, "Don't worry. Caitlyn and I aren't gonna let that Mikayla ruin your summer at the coolest camp ever." Caitlyn said, "Yeah, were gonna show them who's boss." Hannah and Tess both laughed.

Hannah pulled out a box from the full LV suitcase and opened it. She removed an album (which I don't recognize) and pointed it at me and Caitlyn. She said, "This is my next album. It's about to hit stores next spring and I want you two to give me some advice on the tracks on this album." I couldn't believe my own ears now. First Shane told me he'd send me his unreleased album and now Hannah Montana. Wow! This summer is going to be so cool . . . I guess. But then I remembered what she said after giving us the album - give her advice.

I said, "Um I'm not that good at singing." And after I said it I realized the huge mistake I made. Both Tess and Caitlyn looked at me as if I was crazy. I gave the what? look which made them glare at me. Hannah looked from Caitlyn to Tess and from her to me. Tess said, "God! Suffer from inferiority complex much!" Caitlyn nodded and said, "Mitchie is one of the best singers Camp Rock in years. Last summer she sang her own composed song, 'This Is Me' which was second in the Final Jam."

Hannah looked really impressed. She asked, "Wow! You write songs?" Tess nodded for me. I smiled sheepishly and took out my song book. I handed it to Hannah. She browsed through the book smiling. She stopped at the page where I had written my latest song - Dual Life. Her face was frozen on the lyrics. She looked like she was memorizing the song. Did that mean she liked the song? I just wrote it during Spanish. It was about a girl or a boy maybe, who leads a double life as a singer and a normal teenager. I kind of got the concept when I pretended that Mom was president of Hot Tunes TV, China. After reading the song for like five minutes Hannah looked up.

"I'll pay a million dollars for this song!" She said after she shut the book.

I was surprised. She liked the song! If she didn't, then she was a darn good actress. I smiled at her. She did the same. Anyway, Tess and Caitlyn beamed at me as if I won a Grammy. Jesus! They were pretty great singers too, but they thought I was the best among the best since I sang self-composed songs . . . I can't write songs like Bob Dylan who's like the guru of great lyrics. I shot them a look which they returned with a glare.

Hannah said, "Okay. I'll go and change my clothes and go to the Opening Jam."

I was standing next to Tess in the Mess Hall waiting for Shane since I was going to sing a duet with him. I was fidgeting a lot and Tess noticed it. She asked, "What's wrong?" I shook my head. She took out her iPhone and started to go through the song list she sang. Always the performer she is! Meanwhile, Shane, Jason and Nate were coming towards us. I saw Nate going red in the face. Shane was as usual smiling and Jason was just looking blank.

When they stood in front of us, I greeted them. They also said 'Hi'. Nate mumbled something like 'Hu' when he greeted Tess. Shane was smiling at me a lot which made me pretty nervous. He finally said, "Let's Rock and Roll, Mitchie!" I laughed. The other Greys and Tess looked at us confusedly. I said, "We're gonna sing a duet." Then Shane and I proceeded up to the place where Dee La Duke, the Camp's music instructor was standing. She smiled at us and then announced that we were performing.

We each grabbed a microphone and started to sing - It's The New Start. A very appropriate song for the Opening Jam, I must say. The song's duration was 4 minutes and we ended it a minute later with our - as Caitlyn had quoted - famous endearing stare at the audience. The hall broke in to applause as soon as we stopped. I looked around for my friends. Caitlyn, Tess, Peggy, Ella, Lola and Hannah were clapping really hard. The Grey Brothers (except Shane), Baron and Sander werewolf-whistling.

I smiled at Shane but he looked down . . . I swear he was blushing. I joined Tess, Caitlyn and Hannah. Hannah patted me on the back and praised me. "You're awe - totally - some. I'm shocked you don't have albums going platinum by now!" I laughed. Tess suddenly snorted. I was about to think that her competitive nature a la old Tess was coming back but I couldn't because our conversation was interrupted by a black-haired cocky girl. She was grinning one of those really fake grins and she clung on to - if I'm not horribly mistaken - Jake Ryan.

"Hey guys!" Jake greeted warmly. Hannah became very awkward. She stammered, "H-hi J-jake. M-mikayla."

Mikayla announced, "Jake and I are dating. For three months now." Geez, talk about a clingy couple. Hannah raised an eyebrow and said, "Well that's great. I - uh - am - uh - dating - uh - Shane Grey!" I almost shouted, "What?" Tess and Caitlyn widened their eyes. I seriously couldn't believe this. Mikayla half-smiled and said, "That's awesome. But I have a question - why was Shane singing the duet with her?" She looked at me. Yeah if Hannah and Shane were an item why the heck did he sing the duet with me?

Hannah replied, "They're very good friends. And anyway, that song did not suggest love at all!"

Mikayla snorted and told Jake, "Let's go." Then she turned to Hannah and said, "Why don't you and Shane sing a duet together which is full of love and passion?"

"Maybe we will."

Tess whispered to me, "You have to do something about this."

Mikayla and Jake went away from us. Hannah then turned to me. "I am so totally honestly sorry about this. I know you like Shane and I'm seriously not dating him fyi."

I just got a taste of the bitter rivalry between the two pop stars at Camp Rock.

What do you think? I kinda wrote it haphazardly. Overlook the errors in the chappie (its full of them :D) I'll be updating Why Didn't God Tell Me You'll Be My Friend? on Tuesday.

Reviews please.
