A new chapter's heading your way!:)

After breakfast, Mitchie immediately said goodbye to her friends because she wanted to go to her favorite place in camp---where she feels so happy and carefree--by the lake. She was about to go there when she suddenly thought about writing a song, just to express her feelings. She immediately went to the cabin and got her song journal and guitar. Then, with a smile on her face, she went straight by the lake.

When Mitchie already got there, she sat down and leaned on one of the canoes. She let herself relax, drifting away her worried thoughts about leaving camp and just focusing on the breathtaking view that she sees.

Suddenly, a line popped in her head: "Never thought that I'm going to leave this place...so let's just enjoy the time left, just you and me, here in this place, forever we will be."

Mitchie quickly jotted the line in her song journal. Then she just let herself enjoy the wind, the view...

After fifteen minutes, Mitchie already had the perfect song. She entitled it, "Never thought I'm leaving".

Mitchie then got her guitar and began finding the chords of the song. After 10 minutes, she began singing with full feelings and emotions, her powerful voice ringing through the quiet wind. The melodious strums of the guitar made the song even more heart-catching. With a powerful voice and melodious sounds, Mitchie surely can be one of the best pop stars someday.

When Mitchie finished singing the song, she heard someone clapping behind her back. When she turned around to look, guess who it was? It was Shane. It turns out that he followed her as soon as she left the Mess Hall.

"Hey, you!" Mitchie exclaimed as soon as she saw Shane. "You, you heard me singing?" Mitchie blushed slightly as soon as she said that.

When Shane heard Mitchie's question, he went beside Mitchie and sat down. Then he sang a few lines of Mitchie's song. Mitchie shoved him playful on the back. Shane laughed a little, but he suddenly became serious. He turned to face Mitchie and said, "That song's beautiful, Mitchie. As always. You will really become a pop star someday." Shane smiled as soon as he said that. He was staring straight at Mitchie's eyes, which made her blush more.

After a minute or two, Mitchie and Shane turned their eyes from one another. They didn't realized that they were staring at each others' eyes for a long time. They suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Silence filled the air after that. But after a minute, Shane broke it. "You know, I love the song that you sang a whiIe ago...very much. But I was wondering.....why did you write that song? I'm sorry, I was just curious because I think the song is about leaving a very special place. Right?"

Mitchie smiled as soon as she heard that. "Yeah, it's about leaving a vey special place...and I'm sure you know why I wrote that song." Mitchie looked at Shane and gave him a smile.

"Huh? Do I really know...." Shane's voice trailed off when he suddenly remembered that there's an opportunity that Mitchie will leave Camp Rock because of the job offer. "Oh yeah, I know...sorry." Shane smiled at Mitchie apologetically.

Mitchie said in reply, "No, it's okay. I know you forget things easily anyway." She said, teasing Shane. Shane laughed hard at that. "If I forget things easily, you guess things slowly." Shane said, making Mitchie remember the time when Shane covered her eyes and she couldn't guess him fast. Mitchie laughed. Soon, they were laughing hard in unison.

After their teasing session, they became serious again. Mitchie said, "You know, I just express my feelings through that song. I really, really don't want to leave Camp Rock. It's like my second home already." "Yeah, I know." Shane agreed. "And so are the rest of your friends. Especially Caitlyn, Peggy, Lola, and me. We will really miss you terribly if you have to leave. Camp Rock won't be the same without you. It won't be any fun if you have to leave. Why does Connie think about accepting the job offer, anyway? She have to admit, she's having a lot of fun here, even if she doesn't perform at jams."

Mitchie smiled as soon as she heard that. She, herself, knows that her mom is having fun here in Camp Rock even if she's not performing. "I know...." she agreed. "But I'll respect whatever mom's decision is. She sacrificed a lot for me because she wants me to be happy. And her getting the job as camp cook here so that I could attend to Camp Rock is just one of them. Imagine, she's willing to spend her entire summer in the kitchen so that I could attend Camp Rock! I owe her a lot of thank you's. And I also owe her a lot of sorry's because of what I did before the first Final Jam. So, I'm going to repay it by accepting whatever her decision is....whether I like it or not."Mitchie finished.

Shane froze when he heard Mitchie said that. He can't imagine what life in Camp Rock would be if Mitchie had to leave. Mitchie was the one who helped him go back to his original self when he received bad comments because of acting like a spoiled rockstar on a video shoot. Now, thanks to Mitchie, he was now back to his original self.

Just thinking about what Mitchie did for him made him more determined to continue the plan that Caitlyn, Peggy, Lola, and him made. He realized that Mitchie is a very special person for them....for him...they'll do whatever it takes just not to let their Mitchie leave Camp Rock....

"Shane? Shane! Hello! Knock knock! Is there a Shane Gray in the house?" Shane snapped back to reality when he realized that Mitchie was calling his attention. "Mitchie! I'm sorry, I'm just thinking of something....what were you saying?" "I said, I have to go because I still need to meet Caitlyn at Keynote. I'll see you later, okay?" Mitchie said, standing up. Her song journal was already tucked in her pocket and she was holding her guitar.

"Um....okay. See you at lunch." Shane gave Mitchie one of his heart-melting smiles. Mitchie blushed, then smiled back. Then she hurried off.

Shane watched Mitchie go with a worried expression. We'll do anything, Mitchie, he thought, we don't want you to leave.

That's it. :) I'm sorry if I didn't give this chapter right away. I'm a little lazy to do it. But I promise, I'll give the next chapters as soon as possible. Please review!:) Thanks:)
