Chapter 3 - The Oh So Wonderful Plan of Shane Gray's
"Alright guys, that was a good session, we're getting off to a great start." Nate announced to the campers.
As everyone cheered and began to start exiting the building, Mitchie hurried to catch up with Nate.
"Hey." She said once she was walking next to him.
"Hey." He smiled back.
"So, um, how's Shane been?" She asked in a quieter tone.
Nate stopped walking and looked around at the passing campers.
"Honestly? He's been going crazy. All he does is talk about you, it's really annoying." He replied.
"So um, what exactly is he saying?" Mitchie asked with a worried expression.
"Well, he's talking about how he walked in on you and Caitlyn kissing?" Nate replied, asking if it was true.
"Can you tell him that I'm really sorry for the missunderstanding?" She asked while turning and walking
back to Peggy, Ella, Tess, and Caitlyn.
The four began their walk towards the Mess Hall of Fame together, chatting and laughing along the way.
"So, I hear that theres a new couple among us." Tess said to the group with smirk.
"We are not together!" Caitlyn protested, tired of all the rumors.
"I'm just repeating what I heard." Tess said in a defensive tone. "Anyways, the real dirt is on Shane. I heard that he broke a lamp in the cabin that Connect 3 is sharing. Plus, I heard from a super secret source that he was already looking into asking someone else out."
"What?" Mitchie asked in a defeated tone.
"Yeah, I kinda heard that too." Peggy quietly added in. "Sorry."
Caitlyn placed a comforting hand on Mitchie's shoulder. "It'll be okay." She promised.
Mitchie instantly felt better when Caitlyn's hand was touching her. She felt the goosebumps come back, and the lump in throat. She nodded in agreement with her promise as they walked into the Mess Hall.
"Hey! Caitlyn, over here!" Lola waved towards them from her spot next to Barry and Sander.
"I'll catch up with you guys later. Oh by the way, cute outfit Mitchie, and I'm loving the new lipgloss Caitlyn." Tess said before walking off to go sit by some of her other friends.
"See what I mean about the compliments?" Peggy whined as they walked to go sit by Lola, Barry, and Sander.
"Hey Ella!"
They all turned around to see Jason waving at them. Nate and Shane behind him having, what seemed to be, a verbal battle.
Jason weeved through the campers to them with a lot of enthusiasm.
"Hey Jason!" Ella greeted back with a big goofy smile.
Mitchie, Peggy, and Caitlyn exchanged knowing glances and smiles.
"So, uh, I was wondering if you want to go down to the lake with me after lunch?" Jason asked with a nervous smile.
"I'd love to!" Ella answered through a fit of giggles.
"Great, and I can't wait to get away from Nate and Shane." Jason glancing back over his shoulder at the two. They were still fighting. "All they do is argue about everything."
"Hey Jase, you wanna sit with us?" Sander asked scooting over to make room.
"Yeah!" He exclaimed.
"Hey, um, Jason..." Mitchie queitly spoke to him while pulling him aside. "You wouldn't happen to know what they're fighting about...would you?"
"It's either something to do with peanut butter and jelly, or you and Caitlyn." He replied with confused look. "Oh, and when you two get married, can I be the best man?" He asked in a perky voice.
"Married? What are you talking about?" Mitchie asked, she couldn't help but smile.
"Come on, everyone knows you two are totally in love. So can I?" He asked optimistically.
"Um, yeah, sure?" Mitchie replied before Jason pumped a fist in the air and then returned back to the others.
Totally in love with each other? Her and Caitlyn? Impossible. But then again...that kiss...
"Mitchie, you coming or not?" Barry called out. She turned around with a small smile and walked back over to the group. There were two spots left.
One next to Ella. The other next to Caitlyn. Both on the ends.
As she sat down next to Caitlyn, Nate came over to the group, interupting the loud laughter that had just erupted after one of Sander's jokes.
"There you are." He said to Jason while sitting next to Ella and taking up the last spot.
"Here I am." Jason smiled over at him.
"So, Nate, how's the popstar holding up?" Caitlyn asked before taking sip of her soda.
"Well, he's basically having a hissy fit, but he'll come around." Nate replied like it was no big deal.
"But there's still going to be a Connect 3 tour this fall, right?" Peggy asked.
"That...I'm not too sure of." Nate replied while taking a bite of his sandwhich.
"Aww, man. I had front row seats." Peggy complained.
"And it's all my fault." Mitchie sighed.
"No way, this has been going on long before you ever came into the picture." Nate informed them. "Shane's just...Shane. I don't think he can help it when his temper gets out of control like that."
"But still...I'm the reason it's out of control." Mitchie sadly replied.
Just as Mitchie was about to go into full on depression mode, Tess walked up.
"Hey, why don't we all have some real fun tonight." Tess suggested while sitting on Nate's lap. An act that had a few of the others exchanging glances.
"What kind of fun?" Peggy asked with a grin.
"Well, I was thinking a little truth or dare game." Tess giggled.
"No way, so lame!" Lola commented.
"How about a little spin the bottle?" Barry laughed and high fived Sander.
"Not bad, but I'd rather do something...different." Tess said while tapping her chin with her index finger to show how deep in thought she was.
"We could write a song. That's what I like doing the most." Nate suggested with a smile.
"Yeah! Okay, everybody meet up at Nate's and Jason's cabin tomorrow night." Tess said while clapping her hands. "Oh, and nice top Lola."
"Uh, thanks." Lola politely smiled back.
After lunch everyone went their seperate ways in their different groups.
Mitchie and Caitlyn walked back to their cabin in, once again, silence.
"So." Caitlyn said through the awkward silence as they walked along the trail. "Are we ever going to talk about that kiss?"
"Are you kidding? Everyone is talking about it." Mitchie replied as they walked into the cabin they shared.
"I mean me and you. Just us. You know we have to." Caitlyn told her as she sat on the edge of her bed. Caitlyn joined her.
"I know, it was weird, it was disgusting, it was an accident, shall I continue?" Mitchie sadly replied.
"Actually...I think I liked it. And I'm scared because I don't really know what that means." Caitlyn's voice was shaking from her being so nervous. That was weird. Caitlyn was never nervous.
"I...uh...well...it means whatever you want it to mean." Mitchie replied while staring at the floor. She couldn't help but smile though. Caitlyn liked the kiss. She liked it! Did she feel the same things that Mitchie had felt? Did she like it as much as Mitchie had?
"Well...where does that leave me and you?" She nervously asked.
Mitchie had to think about this. She wanted to be friends with Caitlyn, yeah, for sure. But more? And what about Shane? What being straight? Mitchie Torres is no lesbian!
"I don't know." Mitchie quietly replied.
"Well, did you like it too?" She asked, nervous of the answer.
"If I was telling the truth...yes?" Mitchie replied uncertain of what would happen.
"You sound like you're not too sure." Caitlyn smiled.
"Yeah, well, this isn't the easiest situation in the world." Mitchie sighed.
"Maybe I could help...clear it up?" Caitlyn smiled.
Mitchie was going to give her a look that said, okay crazy lady what are you talking about, but before she could Caitlyn's lips were on hers.
All the feelings came back. The feeling of being weightless. The goosebumps. The tingles. The buzzing. Even the room felt like it was getting hotter.
All the feelings doubled when Caitlyn placed one of her hands on Mitchie's cheek. Her skin burned at the touch. But not in a painful way...in a good way. Her fingers were so soft against her. It was amazing.
As if it couldn't get any better, when they repositioned their lips, the feelings tripled. Mitchie felt like she was going to faint. Her heart was going faster then ever before. It was the biggest rush ever.
But it ended. Caitlyn pulled away and when Mitchie opened her eyes all she wanted was to close them and kiss her again. She wanted that free feeling. The feeling like she could do anything, say anything, be anything she wanted.
"How about that time?" Caitlyn giggled.
"I might of liked it." Mitchie replied with a big goofy grin.
"Might have? If I hadn't stopped it you'd be all over me right now!" Caitlyn laughed.
"Would not!" Mitchie defended while playfully hitting her arm.
"Would too." Caitlyn said while laughing.
While they were laughing Mitchie held out her hand palm side up.
"What's this about?" Caitlyn asked as their laughter died out.
"Give me your hand." Mitchie smiled. Caitlyn carefully placed her hand on Mitchie's and they intertwined their fingers. They were holding hands.
Mitchie lookied directly into Caitlyn's eyes. She felt a wave of burning passion course through her veins. This made her smile. Which made Caitlyn smile. Nothing was better then seeing a smile on Caitlyn's lips.
They both turned to see Peggy run inside the cabin followed by Ella, knocking them out of their perfect little world.
"Red alert, red alert! Shane just asked Tess out!" Peggy yelled, as she began talking faster and faster, "This is so weird, this is so freaky, I can't believe this, they won't last, he's so just getting back at you, why aren't you freaking out, can you believe this, I don't think they'll be too serious, and you two apparently don't care and you're holding hands."
"Aww, we just missed the second kiss!" Ella gushed.
"How can you tell?" Peggy whispered.
"They're wearing each others lip gloss, see!" Ella pointed out in a whisper.
"Hi, yeah, we're still here." Caitlyn laughed.
"Oh right, we should give them their privacy." Peggy grinned while dragging Ella back out the door.
"Great, now by the end of the day the camp will be thinking that we're together, and Jason will be planning our wedding." Mitchie laughed.
"And I'm okay with that." Caitlyn smiled.
"As long you keep kissing like that...I'm all yours." Mitchie said before leaning in and kissing Caitlyn.
"Wait..." Caitlyn said pulling out of it. "Are you gonna be ready for all of it? I can think of a few good anti-gay people around the camp already." Caitlyn said with a worried tone.
"I'm not...gay." Mitchie clarified.
"And I'm not saying you are. You're whatever you wanna be, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." She flashed a warm smile. Caitlyn gently squeezed on Mitchie's hand. They both smiled.
Mitchie loved looking into Caitlyn's big brown eyes. She felt...complete. She felt feelings for Caitlyn that Shane could never give her. But in a reality check, Shane was now going out with Tess? What is wrong with this world?
"So...what does this make you?" Mitchie asked, gesturing towards their interlocking hands.
"Apperently it makes me Mitchie Torre's new girlfriend." Caitlyn replied while holding up their hands.
"Girlfriend? I don't quite remember asking you to be my girlfriend." Mitchie laughed.
"Well what are you waiting for?" Caitlyn laughed back.
"Maybe we should just...take this slow...after all, you are kind of my first girlfriend, and truthfully, my first kiss. I'm still new to the dating thing." Mitchie replied with slight difficulty.
"Whatever you want." Caitlyn smiled. "But I'm seriously your first kiss? What about the popstar?"
"Never happened. I mean, I was really only his girlfriend for like four days if you count the times I saw him and he wasn't on tour." Mitchie replied. "Why, have you had your first kiss before me?"
"Actually, yeah, I have." She laughed.
"What? With who?" Mitchie said while standing up to grab a comb and began combing her hair in a mirror.
"Honestly, it was Barry. But you can't tell anybody, we both promised not to say anything!" She laughed.
"Barry? Wow, that's a lot worse then my first kiss." Mitchie replied while walking back over to Caitlyn.
"Wait, I thought you just said I was your first kiss?" Caitlyn asked while giving Mitchie a confused look.
"Exactly." Mitchie said while swooping down and gently pushing her lips against Caitlyn's and then pulling out before Caitlyn could even respond.
Mitchie Torres had just stole a kiss. And she didn't intend on giving it back.
-ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CAMP ROCK-
"You did what!?" Nate shouted at Shane. Nate was never one to raise his voice or curse, but when you got him mad he could really talk the talk.
"Weren't you listening? I asked out Tess Tyler. She's like really good friends with Mitchie right?" Shane asked while sitting down on the couch that was positioned in front of the plasma TV in the Connect 3 cabin.
"So not only did you ask out someone you clearly have nothing in common with, but you're gonna use her to get back at Mitchie?" Nate asked in disbelief.
"You're pretty smart, you know that?" Shane said while biting into a carrot.
"Shane, come on, this is wrong, even an idiot like you has to have a heart. No matter how cold it is." Nate replied, his blood boiling inside him. His fists clenched.
"Chill dude, it's all under control. I pretend to like Tess, Mitchie gets jealous and leaves what's her face, and then she comes crawling back to me." Shane said like it was obvious that his plan was pure genius.
"Then what about Tess, huh? Are you gonna crush her heart just so you can get what you want?" Nate asked, not believing how Shane was acting.
"You saw how she put Mitchie through hell last summer, she's getting what she deserves." Shane replied while staring at the television.
"She's changed, she's not the same person any more." Nate defended.
"Yeah, well karma doesn't care." Shane retorted turning to look at Nate.
"More like Shane doesn't care." Nate corrected him.
"Will you two calm down? I could hear you fighting all the down at the lake!" Jason commented while walking into the Connect 3 cabin.
"Shut up, Jason, we weren't talking about anything that concerned you." Shane said while turing his attention back to the television.
"Don't tell him to shut up!" Nate protested.
"Oh yeah, and what are you gonna do about it?" Shane asked with a smirk.
"Something you can't control with your twisted little games. I quit the band!" Nate yelled while turning and walking out the door of the cabin.
"We don't need him." Shane said to Jason while staring at the cabin door. "He's just being stupid."
"Don't say that word." Jason said through gritted teeth at the edge of his bed.
"Or what? You gonna run out of here like your little buddy?" Shane stood up and walked a few steps closer to Jason. He leaned in towards him and while squinting his eyes he whispered, "You haven't got the balls to do it."
"I do too!" Jason shouted back while walking past Shane and to the cabin door. He pushed it open and walked forcefully out. He quickly turned around and came back into the cabin and proclaimed, "I quit the band too!" And as he walked back outside he turned to walk back inside again. "And I happen to have a very nice pair, thank you very much!"
Then, for the last time he walked outside the cabin, leaving Shane all alone.
-ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CAMP ROCK-
"And you guys quit, just like that?" Mitchie asked in disbelief at what had happened.
"Yeah, but the more important thing is that we save Tess before it's too late." Nate replied as they all sat around Peggy and Ella's cabin.
"This is so intense." Peggy commented.
"Yeah, and where are you guys gonna sleep?" Ella asked in a worried tone.
"Yeah, you guys aren't gonna leave Camp Rock...are you?" Caitlyn asked.
"It's possible...it all depends on how big a fit Shane throws for Brown." Nate sadly replied. To Mitchie, it didn't sound like the odds were in their favor.
"Maybe, if we did something..." Peggy tried.
"But what can we do?" Caitlyn asked in sad tone.
"First, tell Tess the truth. The sooner she's out of Shane's path, the better." Nate stated.
"Does anybody even know what cabin she's staying in?" Mitchie asked the room.
"With one of her new tree hugger friends." Peggy replied.
"Is this really happening?" Caitlyn asked the room.
"What?" Ella asked.
"Are we really about to start up another war at Camp Rock?" She finished.
"Looks like it." Mitchie sadly answered.
"Let's just stop it before it gets out of hand." Nate wisely spoke.
"What if Tess doesn't listen to us, it's not like it'd be the first time." Peggy asked.
"We atleast have to try." Caitlyn replied.
"Exactly." Nate agreed.
"Why can't we all just get along?" Jason asked.
"Because nobody's perfect." Mitchie retorted.
"That sounds really familur." Ella said.
"Yeah, where have I heard that before?" Peggy asked.
"Yeah, it sounds like a song title that some stuck up popstar princess that I would get framed with dating would sing." Nate replied.
"Are sure it's not a Barney song?" Jason asked.
"It's possible." Caitlyn replied.
"Yeah, it'd make more sense if Barney sang it." Mitchie replied laughing.
"Yeah." Everyone agreed.
