Katie wants me to kill of mitchie or shane.

If I were in your shoes

chapter 6

MPOV

after sitting in the mess hall for a while we decided to go back to our cabin and see how nate and shane were, this was caitlyn's idea. Personally I think she just wants to see nate.

When we got to the secluded area where our cabins are we saw shane sat outside and nate sat far away from him taking it in turns to glare at shane then the small campfire that was lit. Well doesn't this look happy.

Oh wait. Fire. Glares. Shane gray.

"What's he done?" caitlyn was the one to voice my thoughts.

"why do people assume i'm the bad one." shane commented slyly.

"probably 'cause you're a dick." nate said.

"oh shut up nathaniel." shane shot back and nate got up and stormed into his cabin with caitlyn following closely behind.

"not going to join his fan club?" shane asked bitterly.

"no." I decided to stick to short answers, that way he couldn't blow up at me for anything.

He raised his eyebrows and stood up.

"i threw his guitar on the fire." he said idly as if it were nothing.

"you did what?"

"well he was asking for it."

"oh so he just turned round and said 'hey shane why don't you burn my guitar' did he?"

"ha ha mitchie. You're so hilarious."

"oh I know, but seriously. You burned his guitar! Why?"

"well he came around here shouting at me for being a jerk to you and wanting to know why I stormed out so I told him not to yell at me and to calm down, but he started stressing and being insulting towards me so instead of saying something back to him I just threw the guitar on the fire. Then he had a tantrum. You guys came around just after the screaming and crying."

"shane! You need to apologize." I couldn't help but giggle at the thought of nate screaming and crying like a little girl but I felt bad for him.

"but I thought you'd be happy? I never insulted or physically hurt him!" he looked so happy with himself.

"you were still a jerk though."

"well so was he"

"but he didn't set your guitar on fire did he?"

shane rolled his eyes and screamed a sorry towards nate's cabin before going into his own cabin, caitlyn and nate appeared.

"he told you?" nate asked, still seething. I nodded.

"uhm look, he apologized. Maybe you guys just need some time to cool down and think it over. Don't fall out because of a tiny argument." caitlyn said.

"a tiny argument where he set my guitar on fire." nate corrected.

"but he apologized about it!" caitlyn tried to make the situation better while I just stood there awkwardly. I hate being in the middle of arguments.

"he only apologized because mitchie forced him to. If she wasn't here that wouldn't have happened." nate said and smiled at me as a thank you.

"yeah well if she wasn't here you wouldn't of been yelling at me so I wouldn't of went near your guitar." shane appeared. Oh great! The whole 'secret friendship' thing where I have to get insulted and pretened like I don't care.

"do not blame her shane! You would've probably hit me if she wasn't here."

as soon as nate said that shane backed away and looked bewildered. Like all of a sudden it dawned on him how bad he'd become and he was scared of what was happening. It was only for a split second and I don't think caitlyn or nate saw because he quickly regained his postured and glared at nate.

"well if that's the case, I wish she'd never have come here."

"hey! Don't talk about my friend like that. Especially when she's right there" caitlyn shouted pointing at me.

"it wasn't meant to insult her" shane said quickly, still glaring at nate.

I decided now would be a good time do pretend to hate him, to take his and nate's minds off of the argument before someone got hurt.

"yeah well it did. Think about people's feelings you jerk!" he looked confused for a moment but clicked.

"i'm glad. Now why don't you just leave!"

"well I would, but then you'd just get the idea that you can have whatever you want, which you can't" and with that I marched back to my cabin, grabbing nate and caitlyn's arms on the way.

Once we were back in the cabin nate burst out laughing and I gave him a strange look, I mean what was he laughing at? There was nothing that hilarious.

"oh my god. Did you see his face! Eeee mitch you're awesome." he said in-between laughs.

When nate had calmed down, which took a while. I guess he was one of those people who went loopy after being mad. We played cards for a while when there was a knock on the door. I got up to anwer it and saw brown standing there.

"hey mitchie torres, right? And you must be caitlyn gellar." He said peering around me, I moved to the side to let him in.

"i'm brown cesario, the camps director, nice to meet you." I smiled and shook his outstrechted hand.

"nice to meet you too."

"well I was just coming here to, oh hi nate, didn't see you there. Why aren't you with shane?" he seemed a little confused,

"uhm, we had a disagreement"

"oh I see, well I was just coming round to say hello to everyone and let everyone know that since all of the campers arrived today, lessons start tomorrow. So the midnight jam is tonight." we all nodded to show we understood and he made his way to the door.

"oh and caitlyn, stay away from tess this year ok?" he smiled at her

"oh don't worry, I will." she said and he turned to walk out the door, we called goodbye.

"mitchie, you know what this means right?" caitlyn said walking towards me grinning like a crazy person.

"no, what?"

"we need to sort out outfits for tonight. Nate, get out." she said not breaking her gaze from me.

Nate obviously realised it would be better for him if he just left me and caitlyn to it, as soon as he was out the door she began rifling through my clothes and her clothes.
