everyone gasped and stared at shane waiting for him to do something. Then brown appeared from nowhere. Brilliant, this is going to end well.

"shane, mitchie, james, my cabin. Now!" what? Why me? Eurgh I am going to kill shane. Or james. Oh my gosh i'm so confused.

Did shane punch james to get him off me or did he do something to upset shane's precious feelings? Guess i'm about to find out.

We made our way through the Forrest and up towards where all of the classroom cabins were, brown's cabin was up at the entrance of the camp. Me, shane and james walked in silence and brown was still at the jam as I guess he'd smelt the alcohol on james and wanted to make sure no one else got into that condition, especially not some of the younger campers that were there.

james kept glancing at shane then me then at the ground. It was starting to make me feel uncomfortable so I kept my eyes on the floor. When we reached brown's cabin shane sat on the steps and I leaned agains the wall of the cabin next to it.

"dude, why'd you hit me for?" james asked looking genuinely confused about shane's outburst, like me,

"first of all, my name is shane, or sir to people like you. Not dude. Second of all I hit you because you're a dick. Ok?" shane spat angrily and james rolled his eyes.

"you think you're better than everyone else just because you're in a band. Don't you?" james started walking towards shane.

"not everyone. Just people like you." shane smiled smugly and stood up as james swung for him and missed by about a mile. He fell flat on his face and I started laughing.

Shane looked at me as if I was a crazy person and chad was still lying on the floor.

"is he dead?" I asked motioning towards james' unmoving body on the floor.

"nah, just unconscious. Kid needs to learn to control his drink."

"you can't really make comments like that, I bet you control your drink about as well as you control your anger"

"but i'm a nice drunk!"

"i very much doubt that"

"why?" he asked confused and offended.

"because you're not a very nice person, so you'll probably be even worse when you're drunk."

wow he looked hurt, I guess that was sort of harsh. But if he could have major mood swings so could I. I was about to apologize when he decided to to go back into jerk mode.

"you know nothing about me ok? I try and be nice to you but then you throw it back in my face. Why do I even bother?" he snapped.

I felt really guilty for saying what I did to him, especially after he saved me from james. I guess it's too late to apologize now so I just sat there in silence.

Shane sighed and brown came walking towards us looking confused.

"where's james?"

me and shane nodded towards the ground next to brown and he turned to see james lying unconscious on the floor.

"and before you accuse me of knocking him out he passed out." shane said and brown nodded.

"you two wait here, I need to talk to you. I'm going to go get some water to try and wake him up don't want him choking on his own sick or something"

"speak for yourself." shane said under his breath and I laughed quietly.

Brown disappeared somewhere in the darkness of the forrest.

"sorry." I said. Breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"me too" as soon as he said that james started moving again and sat up.

"uh where am I?" james asked.

"on the floor, you passed out. Brown should be back in a minute." I said.

"oh erm listen mitchie i'm sorry about before, I had a bit too much to drink." he said getting up and walking towards me. I just nodded and luckily brown appeared before I had to make any more conversation.

"well seen as how everyones awake we better go inside." brown said and opened the door to his cabin.

We all filed into the small office part of his cabin which had a desk, computer, telephone and chair. Pretty basic, then there was a door which I guess led to his actual cabin where he slept.

He sat down at his desk and faced us.

"so who's going to explain what happened down there?" brown asked, surprisingly calm. I guess he has to be used to stuff like this,

"he punched me 'cause I was dancing with mitchie! He's just jealous" james accused.

"don't lie! I hit him 'cause he was drunk and had his hands all over mitchie, she clearly wanted to get away from him."

the two began arguing with each other gradually getting louder and louder.

"SHUT UP!" brown shouted, they were both instantly silent and brown turned to look at me.

"now miss torres, would you like to tell me what actually happened? As these two can't get the story straight." shane and james both looked at me.

"well I was dancing with james and then I realized he was drunk and he tried to kiss me but I didn't know what to do then shane hit him." brown nodded.

"thank you. Now I hate to be uncool but james I spoke to other campers and it seems you were the only one who has been drinking alcohol. Therefore i'm going to have to ring your parents and send you home. I cannot have underage drinking on my premises."

"but -" james tried to reason with brown.

"no buts, and shane I understand you were helping mitchie but if anything like that happens again i'll have to ban you from all camp activities, apart from lessons of course." brown said smugly and shane groaned.

"i suggest you all go to bed, you all have a busy day tomorrow, james I expect to see you here after breakfast with your things." we all nodded and left towards our cabins.

James' cabin was in a different direction to mine and shane's so I said goodnight to james and walked with shane. We walked in a comfortable silence until we reached our cabin's.

"goodnight mitchie."

"goodnight" I smiled and went into my cabin.

Caitlyn was already asleep so I got changed and climbed into bed, I must have been more tired than I thought because as soon as my head hit the pillow I was asleep.

next day

I got woke by caitlyn's alarm at around 8. breakfast was at 9 then classes started at half past 9.

I rushed to get a shower before caitlyn did, 'cause I knew she'd take forever. Where as I only take 20 minutes. When I got out of the shower she practically pushed me out of the way to get into the bathroom. I dried my hair and curled it. I then put some black shorts and a grey top on and decided i'd take a black hoodie with me, I put some black flip flops on and went to sit on the steps and wait for caitlyn to be done.

"morning lovely" brown came around the corner.

"morning" I replied and smiled.

"you excited to start lessons?"

"yeah, I can't wait to improve my singing." it was true, I couldn't. I love to sing and one day I hope to be a famous singer and write songs that inspire people.

"well I hope you have fun. I have to go and wake his lordship up so he has time to do his hair" brown rolled his eyes and headed towards shane's cabin and I went to check on caitlyn.

Breakfast was full of mindless conversations about who was in what classes and who would sit with each other. Me and caitlyn both had class 1 and 4 together then class 5 free so we decided to sit together for those classes and do whatever class 5. I had class 2 and 3 with katie so I said i'd sit with her for those and walk to lunch with her. Even though I bet all she eats for lunch is mints.

All day went as planned and as today was the first classes of camp we basically had to introduce our self and the teacher would talk about what we would hopefully learn. Then in class four everything took a turn for the worse. I had dance class with caitlyn, tess and katie. Shane was teaching.

He was still playing the jerky pop star routine so I stayed in the back to avoid any unwanted attention. Tess had other ideas.

"hey mitchie why'd shane punch your boyfriend last night?" tess said loud enough for everyone to hear.

"he's not my boyfriend"

"well how come shane punched your friend then?" she put emphasis on the friend to make people think she knew different.

"why don't you ask shane?" shane said from the front of the classroom.

All heads turned his way.

"i punched him because he deserved it ok? Anymore questions? No? Good." he said and began explaining what would be happening.

Then once we started dancing tess shoved me like five times. I actually hate her and to make it worse shane kept shouting at me because he thought I was messing up on purpose.

Me, caitlyn and katie were heading towards the door at the end of class when tess stopped me.

"i know about yours and shanes little secret friendship thing. It's cute but honestly once he starts dating me he won't want anything to do with stupid sluts like you"
