It Starts With Goodbye

Chapter 3

Rockstar in Love

..

"Rockstar in love?

Is platinum selling bad-boy Shane Gray settling down? Well it certainly looks like it, if recent pictures that have been released are anything to go by.

Shane Gray, lead singer and bass guitarist of teen boy band Connect 3 recently spent a two month stint at Camp Rock, the place where little more than a year earlier, Connect 3 were first discovered.

Some stars go to rehab to reform, but for Shane a two month teaching job in a summer camp for aspiring rockstars seems to have done the trick.

But was it the fresh air, or the pretty brunette Shane has been photographed with, that did the trick?

The "girlfriend," recently confirmed as Mitchie Torres, has not been seen with Shane since the final day of Camp Rock. Fans of the band have nicknamed the pair "Smitchie," and are hoping that this girl can tame our favourite bad boy."

Nate finished reading, and put the magazine down on the table in front of him.

'Oh. My. God.' Shane fell backwards onto the sofa.

'Your gonna have to call her now, man,' Nate told his friend.

'No,' Shane said simply.

'But why not?' Nate questioned. 'You haven't shut up about her since we picked you up. You were practically crying when we finally left, after your hour-long goodbye.

'I was not!' Shane protested.

'Ok. Whatever you say,' Nate said, unconvincingly.

Just then, he door slammed, and Jason walked in, carrying about 7 different bags.

'Where were you?' Nate asked him.

'Shopping,' Jason replied.

'For what?' Nate asked.

'Bird food. For my favourite birdhouse. Which I bought at Wal-Mart, because someone didn't make me one at camp.'

'What else did you buy?' Shane asked.

'Just bird food,' Jason said, walking away, carrying his many bags.

'How many birdhouses has he got?' Shane asked, once Jason had left the room.

Um, I think it's about 11 now, man,' Nate said, distractedly, all the while looking strangely at the magazine on the table.

'What? What is it?' Shane asked.

'Its...Brown...'

'WHAT?' Shane stood up. 'What's Brown?'

'Brown. He's the one that gave them the pictures of you and Mitchie. Your uncle Brown!'

'Oh he is SO dead!'

'What are you gonna do?' Nate asked, kind of cautiously. After all this WAS Shane Gray he was talking to. But he should have realised that the "new" Shane wouldn't do anything too drastic.

'I'm gonna e-mail him,' Shane said, in a definite tone.

Nate started to laugh, but Shane just ignored him. He had obviously expected a more serious reaction.

But Shane soon realised what Nate had been laughing at.

'Who changed my background?' Shane asked, as a huge picture of himself, with his arm draped around Mitchie's shoulders, appeared on the screen of his laptop.

'Jason popped his head around the door. 'Oh I did that a couple days ago. I thought it would be cute!'

Shane threw a pillow at him.

'Wow, dude,' Nate said to Jason. 'Your lucky. A couple months ago that might have been a lamp!'

A couple months ago Shane wouldn't have had a picture of Mitchie at all. He really didn't want to think about what things would've been like if he hadn't gone to camp rock.
