Camp Revenge

Camp Revenge

Chapter 21

My own version of Camp Rock told in Shane's point of view

I stood there in a silent shock and watched my ex-girlfriend walk away from me. Mitchie went over to some other guy – I'm guessing Denny – and hugged him. She looked like she was crying and Denny wiped away her tears.

I was crushed. I just got dumped. The one girl whom I actually loved just dumped me. All because I didn't want to go to a stupid prom! I sighed. Damn it. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Just my luck, eh? I sighed and walked over to Mitchie. "Mitchie…" I started.

Mitchie turned to me. I wiped away one of her tears. "Go away, Shane. I don't want to talk to you," She slapped away my hand.

I sighed. "I'm really sorry, Mitchie. Really. I didn't mean to be so mean. I didn't know you actually cared about some retarded prom," Oh shit. That did not sound right.

She scoffed. "You're such an ass!" She grabbed Denny's arm and pulled him away from me. She stormed away and went into her cabin.

I stood there for a second and then went into my own cabin. Jason and Nate were sitting there. They looked up at me. "I just got dumped," I muttered and sat down on my bed.

Nate walked over to me. "It's ok man, you can always find another girl,"

"Yeah. I could," I sighed.

"There are plenty of fish in the ocean, Shane! You just gotta get out there and find one that won't dump you!" Nate encouraged and pulled me up to my feet. "So who are some pretty hot girls that you like?"

I shrugged. "I dunno. There was one girl-"

"Name?" Nate commanded.

"Uh… Anastasia," I said.

Nate raised his eyebrows. "Is she a blonde?"

I shook my head. "No. Brunette,"

He nodded. "Fine. Fine. Get a brunette. They aren't really your type though,"

I shrugged. "Mitchie's a brunette,"

"Exactly my point! You just got dumped by someone with brown hair! Pick a blonde. Any blonde. Who's the first blonde that comes to mind,"

"Tess," I replied. Oh, God.

Nate bit his lip. "Know any other blondes?"

I shook my head. "None that I like… Oh damn it! Did I just say that I liked Tess in a weird implied way?!"

He gasped. "Yeah! You did!" Suddenly, he smirked. "I know how you could get back at Mitchie,"

"What?" I asked.

"Well I mean, she just broke up with you so you must be really mad," I nodded. I am. "So if you hook up with someone that Mitchie hates then you could make her jealous! She'll see you at the prom with Tess and then she'll come crawling back to you, begging to get back together,"

"What a great idea!" I exclaimed. "But wait. Tess tried to kill me,"

He shrugged. "That makes it all the better,"

This is very confusing. How is this gonna work?

"Trust me – it will work," Nate said. "Now go out there and ask Tess to the prom!" He looked at Jason. "In the meantime, we'll be here finding dates of our own,"

"I'm confuzzled," I said.

Nate rolled his eyes. "Just do it!"

I shrugged. "Ok," I said and left the cabin. I walked over to Tess's cabin and knocked on her door. She opened the door and then scoffed.

"If you're here to get back at me, go ahead," she said.

I shook my head. "No. It's not that. I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the prom with me," I said.

Tess smiled excitedly. "Seriously?!" Then he face dropped. "You're just kidding, right? You just want to get back at me?"

I shook my head again. "No. I'm serious,"

"But aren't you dating Mitchie?"

"We, uh, broke up," I said, kicking a stray rock.

She gasped happily and then hugged me. "Yay! I knew you would always chose the right person!"

I laughed a bit. "Yeah. Well. Um. See you later," I said and turned away.

Tess grabbed my shoulder and turned me back around. "Shane, really, I'm sorry for almost killing you,"

"Sorry for almost killing you, too," I said and walked back to my cabin. Jason and Nate were sitting in a circle with two other people – Denny and Mitchie. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw them and they all turned to me. "I'm sorry… I'll just go now," I said and turned around.

Mitchie stopped me. "No. Wait," she said.

I turned back around.

She sighed. "I don't want to hate you, Shane,"

I raised my eyebrows and sat down in the circle with them. "So we're still friends?"

Mitchie let out a huff of laughter. "Just friends,"

"Good," I said. "Now we don't have to worry about breaking up again,"

She nodded. "I guess we just weren't meant to be,"

I laughed. "Yeah. Someone once told me that brunettes weren't my type," I looked at Nate and he started laughing as well.

Denny smiled. "Well I'd like to introduce myself – I'm Denny, Mitchie's brother,"

"Hi Denny," I said. This Denny guy seems nice.

He stood up. "Want to go do something fun?" he asked.

I nodded. "Yeah," Who said new friends were a bad thing? I stood up and so did everyone else. We walked out of my cabin. We walked down to the lake and on the way, saw my uncle.

"Hey Uncle Brownie," I said. "We were just off to go hang out by the lake,"

Uncle Brown turned to me. "You made friends?"

I shrugged. "I guess so,"

"So are we back to being bright and shiny?" he asked.

I shrugged again. "Not really sure. I guess I'm on the border of dark and twisty,"

He smiled. "Good. I like bright and shiny Shane better than the dark and twisty one,"

I laughed. "I bet you do," Then, I looked over at my friends. They were already down by the lake, splashing around. I smiled and walked after them. Mitchie was sitting down on the beach. I went over to her and sat down with her.

Mitchie turned to me. "Hey," she said.

"Hi," I replied and watched as Jason, Nate, and Denny swam in the lake. Denny and Jason got into a wrestling match and they were dragging each other under the water.

Jason surfaced and gasped for air. He pulled Denny down under the murky water and Denny started splashing around and then hit Jason, and Jason fell over and made a splash. He got back up and pulled Denny down again. They both started laughing when Nate tried to drag Jason under the water, and Jason picked Nate up and threw him. Nate screamed and splashed into the lake a few feet away.

I laughed, watching the three fight. Mitchie was laughing with me.

Denny got out of the water and sat down next to me. "Your band members are weaklings," he said with a smirk.

I laughed again. "Yeah. They are. Jason's an idiot and Nate has like no balls,"

Denny smiled. "I'd like to see you fight,"

I held up my arm. "Can't. I broke my arm,"

He smirked. "Yeah. You are pretty weak,"

I scoffed. "Excuse me?!"

Denny shrugged. "You fell off a stage. I saw,"

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, man. Did I ever tell you the time that Nate, Jason, and I were bike riding and Nate fell over into the grass when he was going like two miles and hour and broke his arm?"

He laughed hysterically. "In the grass?!"

I nodded. "Yeah,"

"Wow," he laughed.

I laughed too. "I know,"

This Denny guy is the shit! I can't believe I actually made a friend… Wow. What has happened to me? What has this world come to? When Shane Gray makes friends that means something weird is happening… a full moon, possibly?
