* Inside the Music Classroom*

"Ok" instructed Mr. Brown. "As you all know, today is a special day," as he paused someone yelled out 'No Meatloaf!'

Brown narrowed his eyes at this comment.

"Today is a very special day because, we are going on our very first field trip to the World's largest meatball!"

Everyone cheered, Jason being the loudest of course. Mitchie and Caitlyn gave each other high-fives.

At this moment, Mr. Brown's cell phone started to beep, and since he figured that no one was going to listen to him now, he left the room.

Shane, Jason, and Nate stood up and walked over to where Mitchie, Ella, and Caitlyn sat. Mitchie smiled as she saw them approaching.

"Heard you this morning," Mitchie teased Shane.

Shane scowled. "Thank Jason and Nate."

Mitchie turned to smile at those two but her smile faltered when she realized that they weren't anywhere near her.

"Heyyy…" Shane drawled out. "Where they go?"

Mitchie looked around the classroom.

"Well there's Jason…" she said nodding over to a corner where Jason was building a birdhouse with Ella.

"And why is that not surprising…" mused Shane quietly.

Mitchie laughed.

"They make a good couple don't ya think?" Shane nodded and smiled.

"You know who else makes a good couple? Me and Victoria…" He eyed the pretty girl, who was now applying a fresh coat of lip gloss.

Mitchie rolled her eyes and laughed. "You keep dreaming. She hangs out with Tess now. And she's become a real brat."

Shane furrowed his eyebrows and turned his mouth into the shape of an O.

He quickly thought it over.

"Well that's ok because I'm Shane Gray!"

He sat down next to Mitchie and sighed a very dramatic sigh.

"Man I can have anyone I want. Once she's with me, she'll realize being nice is what she likes to do best!"

Mitchie shrugged. "Whatever… but you might want to get back to your seat… Brown's coming back."

Shane turned his head to look at the approaching Mr. Brown. "Thanks for the Brownie alert."

And with that he jumped on top of multiple desks to get back to his.

Mitchie stared at him go and then sighed. Her eyes found Victoria, who was lightly perched on the top of her desk, and was laughing and gossiping with Tess and her gang. Those girls got everything in the world it seemed…

As Mr. Brown opened the door to the classroom, all of the kids stopped what they were doing to pay attention to him.

He clapped his hands together. "Ok kids, Line up!"

Everyone cheered and grabbed their backpacks.

They walked out to the front of the camp, in their lines and there stood before them were two huge busses.

As Mr. Brown cleared his throat, the buzz of excited whispers died down.

"Ok, now I know everyone here is excited to finally get out of our cabins for a day and go on this field trip, so I don't really think it matters to where we're going."

He paused, and everyone was quiet.

" I know you kids were excited to be going to the World's Largest Meatball, but the meatball seems to have rolled off somewhere, and they have closed the exhibit. So instead we will be going to visit the Bridgemont manor!"

Everyone looked around in confusion. No meatball?

"What the heck is Bridgemont?" someone yelled out.

Mr. Brown looked at everyone in shock.

"You guys don't know what Bridgemont Manor is?!"

Everyone shook their heads a no.

Everyone except Jason.

Mr. Brown raised his eyebrow and looked at him pointedly.

"Jason? Do you care to explain to everyone Bridgemont manor is?"

Jason didn't move.

"Jason?" repeated Mr. Brown.

Jason shook his head.

"I-I don't want to go on this field trip anymore…"

Mr. Brown chuckled. "It's not because of the rumors is it? Because they aren't true…" Jason shook his head.

"I really, really, don't want to go. It's not mandatory is it?"

Mr. Brown chuckled again.

"Yes Jason, I'm sorry to say this field trip is mandatory. And I think I know why you don't want to go on this field trip, and let's just say that it isn't true!" His voice had turned hard and it echoed across the fairgrounds of Camp Rock.

Everyone was completely quiet. No one quite knew what was going on. And Mr. Brown was starting to sound a little angry.

"And saying that, let me tell you all what Bridgemont Manor really is. Bridgemont is a famous manor on the outskirts of… where I don't know exactly but the drivers do!"

He chuckled trying to get the kids' spirits back up again. The usually warm air seemed a little cold now.

Mr. Brown started again. "Some people think that this magnificent house, this important monument, is well… they think that it's haunted."

Jason sighed in frustration. Ella put her arm around him in an effort to comfort him.

"It's true Mr. Brown!" Jason shouted out. "And we shouldn't go!"

People looked around.

Dead silence.

Mr. Brown's eyes were forwarded at Jason. "We are going. And that's final. Load the busses!" his words were quiet yet everyone seemed to catch every single one.

Shane took a step forward. "FIELD TRIP!" he shouted.

What had just taken place seemed to vanish out of the kid's minds as they started to cheer with Shane. Everyone started to jump up on the busses.

Jason and Ella stood frozen to their spots.

"Jase? Come on let's get on the bus. Brown seems really mad right now." Ella quietly talked into Jason's ear.

Jason stood a moment longer, and then took a hold of Ella's hand and took a step towards the bus.

He sighed.

It was time to go on a field trip.
