Authors Note: I had a long debate with myself, over what grade I should put Mitchie in; either she was going to be a junior or sophomore. In the end I chose sophomore, for reasons you will know of later. Her schedule is going to be mostly the classes I'm taking because it just makes everything easier that way. Thank You OTHBabe23 (anon) and ERSY for reviewing it means a lot to me when you do! R&R my lovelies R&R. One last thing I know this chapter isn't the best, but not all of them can be good right?

Disclaimer: I know I still don't own Camp rock; the truth can be so harsh sometimes.

Chapter 3: Surprise!

Riiiiing. My alarm clock sounded, I threw my pillow at it and it landed to the floor with a thud, hopefully it wasn't broken. Ugh. I was tired and not ready to go back into the world of high school. The only good thing that might come from this year was not being a freshman.

"Mitchie time for school" My mom shouted from the kitchen. I let out a groan, as I reached for my laptop and pulled up iTunes and clicked shuffle. Of course the first song to play was This is Me, Caitlin had made me a copy of our performance during the Final Jam. I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and washed my face. I looked up at the mirror and took in my reflection, it was amazing how much this summer had changed me, but the same old reflection was just staring back at me. I walked back to my room, pulled on my favorite indigo jeans, and my green baby doll tee. It reminded me of Shane and it held a lot of memories from the summer with it. Most importantly I wanted Shane here in spirit with me. I checked myself in the mirror making sure I was first day of school ready. I went downstairs grabbed a quick breakfast and was headed out the door.

I was half way to school when my phone vibrated. I had a text message from Shane.

Have a great first day of school Mitchie! Call me after its over.–Shane

The last couple of days, I had at home been pretty quiet compared to the rest of the summer, I spent most of it talking to Shane, and getting supplies for school. Caitlin still hadn't called I was getting a little worried, but I would call Nate and ask if he knew anything. I reached the school; and headed to my locker, I grabbed some of my books and I began to hang up some pictures from the summer, the group hug from the last day, Shane and I canoeing and at our dock, Final Jam and many more. I was about to close my locker when I noticed someone standing behind it.

"Hey Sierra" I said.

"Sierra that's weird I thought my name was my name is Caitlin." The voice replied. I dropped my hand from my locker door and peeked around it. Sure enough Caitlin was standing there in black and gray skinny jeans, with a blue transformers tee (A/N I was flipping through a magazine and this is the outfit I landed on) with black converse.

"Caitlin, but how since when" I stammered like an idiot, it was taking me awhile to soak in the idea that she was actually there. I reached out and poked her; just to be sure she was actually there.



She laughed. "What was that for," But she didn't wait for me to answer that. "Anyways you know that house for sale across the street from yours?"

"Are you serious" I exclaimed. I could not be happier; with Caitlin here my school year had just improved majorly. We then went skipping off into the horizon and the whole school year was amazing. No that's what I would like to think, but the schools Tess's just showed up, they were probably Tess clones except for the fact that there were two of them, Rosalie and Charlotte. They were walking passed Caitlin and I, when Rosalie stopped and starred into my locker, which just so happened to be covered in pictures from the summer, with Shane on them.

"Is that Shane Grey?" Rosalie said in her stupid annoying obnoxious I'm better than everyone voice.

"Yeah" I replied trying not to pay too much attention to her.

"I bet its photo shopped," Charlotte said "Like she would meet know anyone famous." She flipped her hair as she said this, and she motioned for Rosalie to follow her.

Caitlin and I ignored them who cared if they didn't believe, because I had one person in this school that did believe me and she was standing right next to me. I shut my locker I really didn't need anyone else taking peeks into it.

"Hey what's your schedule like" Caitlin asked. I pulled out my schedule and we compared. We both had Lunch 5th period, AP Euro 7th period, and Gym 8th period. At least we'd get to spend half of the day together. The bell sounded and it was time for us to depart.

"I'll see you at lunch Mitchie." Caitlin said as she headed down the hallway.

My first class was Honors Spanish 3 (A/N 3rd year of Spanish)…great. It's funny even when your Hispanic you're parents still make you take Spanish, even though you've been learning since you were 5 and yet you still miraculously suck at it. Well I can understand what people are saying; I just can't reply that well, so I speak in Spanglish. After 50 minutes, I was free to go to my next class, Chemistry.

The whole morning was pretty uneventful, but finally the bell rang for 5th period. I sprang out of my seat and was the first one out the door. I couldn't wait to see Caitlin again. I still could not believe she was actually here, I could of sworn that I was just living in a dream and would wake up any second. I got to my locker and saw her leaning against the locker next to mine as she waited for me. As I dumped some of my books in my locker, Caitlin began talking about some girl in her class, that she didn't exactly sit well with.

"She answers every question, and I mean every question. Her hand went up so fast it smacked me in the head." She complained. This girl reminded me a lot of Sierra. Speaking of Sierra here she comes. I tried to position myself away from her; maybe she wouldn't notice me and keep walking. I know this sounds mean, but if it was Sierra, Caitlin was talking about I didn't want to get caught up in any drama between the two of them. My plan was to make sure they never really knew that I was friends with both of them.

"Hey Mitchie"

Crap, she saw me. "Hey Sierra" I said avoiding Caitlin's face.



"Ready to go to lunch," She said finally noticing Caitlin "Hey you're in my math class; it's a great class isn't it?"

"Totally" Caitlin responded while rolling her eyes.

We started walking to lunch. Caitlin grabbed my arm and dragged me off to buy our lunch. Sierra didn't buy any something about not enough organically grown foods.

"You're friends with her?" She said as she grabbed a sandwich.

"Well, she's not that bad once you get to know her. Can you just try and get along with her?" I pleaded

"I'll try, but I don't promise it will go well. Oh and you have to give me your cookie." She replied.

"Deal" Maybe there was hope for them.

We paid for our lunch and headed back to the table. Lunch was different than I was used to, because there was one more person there than usual. Sierra talked a lot, and Caitlin did her best to be nice. Though her best attempt was not saying anything to Sierra and rolling her eyes at about just everything she said. Eventually Caitlin and I started talking, and Caitlin was doing her best to leave Sierra out of the conversation. I never saw Sierra get up and leave, I couldn't help, but feel bad about once I realized she was gone. After all being a third wheel, isn't exactly the most thrilling thing.

"See you 7th period." I called out to Caitlin as she walked down the hall. I spent 6th period starring at the clock waiting for it to sound for the next class, but when it did ring I was again out of my seat in a flash. Caitlin and I met up outside the classroom, we were early, but we wanted to make sure we had seats next to each other. Caitlin and I found two seats in the back; we spent the class passing notes back and forth to each other most of them were about Shane and Nate. It wasn't until the end of class; we were headed towards the door I noticed Sierra was in the same class.

"Go ahead Cait I'll catch up to you." Caitlin took one glance at Sierra and nodded, she walked away silently.

"Sierra," I called as I tried to catch up with her "you could have sat next to us."

"Well I figured since you had Caitlin there" She replied not looking at me.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I knew this summer would change you," She paused and looked at me "but I never thought you would bring some of it home with you." She turned away and rushed down the hall way.

I made it to the gym with a minute to spare. I was a good thing we weren't changing today or I would have been really late. I was still trying to make sense of what had just happened in the hall. I didn't realize Sierra disliked Caitlin that much, I figured it was because she thought I replaced her with Caitlin. I realized I hadn't even told Sierra about everything that 

had taken place this summer. Maybe Caitlin did replace her. I remained ultimately very quiet during gym and Caitlin didn't pressure me to talk.

The bell finally rang, and my first day back at school had ended. Caitlin and I walked home, during the walk I was back chattering to Caitlin. We were excited to call our boyfriends. After Caitlin called Nate and dropped her stuff at home she was going to come over. We were planning out going to grab some ice cream. After all it was still warm out and we didn't have any homework.

I walked in the door and dropped my bag by the stairs. I bounced into the kitchen to find my mom frosting a cake.

"Hey Mom, guess who's our new neighbor?" I asked excitedly.

"Caitlin," She replied, looking up from frosting a rose smiling when she saw my face "she wanted to keep it a surprise."

Why am I always the last one to always find things out? Do they enjoy keeping me out of the loop? I grabbed my bag from the bottom of the stairs, and headed up to my room to call Shane. I opened my door my bag fell from my hand dropped to the floor with a thud and my jaw just fell open.

Authors Note: I wonder what the surprise is…wait I already know but do you? I'm aware that this isn't the best chapter, but I just needed to get it over with so let's hope the next on is better yes?
