It Starts With Goodbye
Chapter 8
Rock Star Princess Honour
Ok, guys, so you's aren't too great at reaching review quota's! lol But I suppose it was a pretty short chapter, and 10 reviews was pretty good for something that short! Anyway, I felt like updating, so, yeah...Chapter 8! 10 reviews and we'll love you!!
Peggy sighed. Sitting at her desk she looked at the mountain of books piled on top of it. It was only Thursday and her teachers had already assigned a mountain of homework. It was like they were trying to remind the students that summer was OVER!!
She looked at the books again. She promised herself that she wouldn't move until it was all done, and was aiming to be finished by midnight. She doubted it though. At the rate she was going she'd still be sitting at her desk on Sunday. She sighed and grabbed her history book.
Her thoughts were drawn to her best friend, Ella.
Peggy missed Ella. Even though they lived in separate Sates, they were best friends. Peggy in Texas and Ella in New York…with Tess.
Peggy thought back to her first summer at Camp Rock, three years ago. She remembered a brunette girl approaching her, a blonde haired girl with a bored look on her face followed closely.
"Hey I'm Ella," the brunette said. "This is Tess," she pointed to the blonde girl.
"Hi!!" Peggy said brightly.
"Your first summer here?" Ella asked.
"You get used to it," Tess said quickly, grabbing Ella's arm. "Let's go!" she said.
"I wanna talk to Peggy," Ella said.
After Tess found out that Peggy's dad was big in the music business, she became a permanent member of their group.
Peggy snapped back to reality. Ella used to so confident, so self assured, but over the years she had lost that confidence and had become vulnerable. That was Tess's doing.
Peggy worried about Ella in New York with only Tess for company. It wasn't that Ella didn't have any friends it's just that because of her vulnerable state, when Tess called, Ella came running.
Peggy's phone rang.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Hey Peggy," a male voice said. "It's Shane. Shane Gray."
"Hi," Peggy tried not to sound too excited. But, hey, Shane Gray was calling her!!
"I was just wondering when you're free?"
"Free? For what?" Peggy said confused. What was Shane implying?
"Our Song?" Shane said. "I was wondering when you're free to come to L.A to record."
The song, Peggy thought to herself. Of course he was talking about the song.
"I have to book the studio," Shane continued
"Um…I'm not sure yet," Peggy said. "Let me check with my mom and I'll call you."
"Ok…em…do you have my number?"
"I have Jason's. I think he gave it to everyone." Peggy laughed. She remembered Jason running around on the last day of camp handing out cards with his number on them.
"I remember that!" Shane laughed. "Did he tell you that you should com and visit his birdhouses or something?"
"Yea!!"
"I think he has like, a dozen of them now."
"Really!?"
"Yea!! Listen, Peggy, I gotta go. So will you call me…or Jason when you know?"
"Yea I will. Bye Shane."
"Bye."
The line went dead and Peggy hung up the phone.
She smiled to herself but frowned again when she saw the bundle of homework she still had left to do.
.
The next morning Peggy was running late. It was 7.30. School started in half an hour.
"You know sweetie, if you didn't stay up all night you would be on time," her mom said.
"Blame it on the school system, mom!" Peggy said. "Either they stop giving us so much home work or they make school start later. Personally, I'm aiming for 1pm."
"Come on and get in the car," her mom laughed. "I'll give you a ride."

Peggy was shoving books from her locker into her bag when her cell phone rang. It was 7.50. School started in 10 minutes. She still had some time.
"Hello?" she answered.
"PEGGY!!" Ella's high pitched voice screamed. "Oh My Connect Three do I have news for you!!"
Peggy heard the warning bell ring.
"Was that a bell?" Ella asked.
"Yea," Peggy answered. "I have to get to class. School's sorta starting."
"God does your school start early?" it was more of a statement than a question. "What is it, like 7am?"
"Ella," Peggy said slowly, a voice that would make Ella understand. "I live in Texas. You live in New York. There's something different in both states…"
"TIME DIFFERENCE!!" Ella squeaked excitedly.
"Got it in one!" Peggy rolled her eyes.
"Yay me!!" Peggy could here a banging noise. She suspected that Ella was trying to clap her hands, while holding the phone.
"Listen Ella, I gotta go. Can you tell me your news later? I'll call you."
"Ok, bye Peggy."
Peggy hung up. She was curious to know what Ella's news was. But then again this was Ella. A new salon probably opened up or something.
The bell rang. Peggy groaned. Great, now I'll be late, she thought to herself and she ran all the way to home room.

After sitting in detention for an hour for being two minutes late for homeroom, Peggy finally arrived home.
Collapsing on the couch she decided to call Ella to see what her 'big news' was.
It was 5pm which meant it was 4pm in New York. Ella would be home from school.
She dialled Ella's number and hit call. The phone rang three times before Ella answered.
"Ella here!" she answered brightly.
"Hey, it's me. What's your 'big news'?
"Did you see the show on E!?"
"What show?" Peggy asked. Seriously, if Ella was going to tell her another story about Brad and Angelina's twins she would kill herself.
"The one about Camp Rock?" Ella said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "You didn't see it either? Mitchie didn't and she's going mad…It was awesome! Mitchie's boot's were gorgeous, I might asked her to borrow them sometime. Oh and I was in it!! Yea, me. Well, it was only for like three seconds, but you could totally tell it was me…"
"ELLA!" Peggy had to shout to be heard over the rambling of Ella. "Get to the point." Peggy couldn't believe it. There had been a TV show and nobody had bothered to tell her!!
"Oh sorry," Ella said. "I was rambling again, wasn't I? Anyhoo…Tess is going mad 'cause the show called Shane and Mitchie this years 'IT' couple!! Isn't that sooo unbelievably cute?? I knew that they had chemistry from day one!! Didn't I tell you that they would get together? I did, didn't I?!"
"No," Peggy said flatly.
"Yea, I did, that time…" Ella went quiet for a few seconds. "Or maybe that was Jason I said it to…?" she said, obviously confused. "Well, anyway, I said it to someone!! So Tess made me call Mitchie. I don't know why. I was kinda confused myself so…"
"ELLA!!"
"Jeese, calm down, I'm getting there. So, it turns out that Shane hasn't called Mitchie at all!! I mean he called me the other day. I'm worried that this years 'IT' couple may be over!!"
Peggy rolled her eyes.
"Ella, why would I care about any of this? It's Mitchie's life!! And why are you still hanging out with Tess?"
"I can't help it!! I have a problem. Is there like a gossip rehab or something?? Check me in!!" Ella screamed a little over dramatically.
"What about Tess?"
"I felt sorry for her. She's lonely. Her mom's on tour and her friends…" Ella trailed off.
"She has no friends Ella. She lost them all." Peggy told her. "Just please promise me that you're not acting like her slave."
"I promise. Rock star princess honour."
Peggy laughed.
"Oh and guess what?! You should come up her and we can go to this new beauty salon that just opened up. It's supposed to be amazing!!"
Peggy laughed again. She told Ella that she had to go. Her mom would be home soon and she had to finish her homework.
When Peggy hung up the phone she looked at her school bag. She had finished most of her homework in detention so she could finish the rest later. She turned on the TV.
"And next, The E! True Life Story about how rockstar Shane Gray found love at Camp,"
This must've been what Ella was talking about. She was curious to know what it was about so she made her self comfortable and settled down for an afternoon of TV.
