A/N I DON'T OWN ANYTHINHG!

The next morning Mitchie and Shane were standing in front of her school. Mitchie was shaking.

"Mitchie it's my first day here yet you're more scared than I am."

"Yeah because you're Shane Grey famous rock star you are all ready set with the 'it' group. Me? I'm the most hated person in this whole school."

"Mitchie I don't care I'm with you. I'm in your group."

"Promise you'll stick by me no matter what?"

"I promise."

Shane took her hand and they went inside. Mitchie helped him get all his stuff.

"What's your locker number?"

"215."

"Good mine is 213 so we are right next to each other."

"Cool so led the way."

They went to their lockers and Mitchie put her news books inside then helped Shane with his.

"Is this the first time you've even had a locker?"

"No….I just haven't used one…recently." Shane muttered.

Mitchie laughed. "Ok pop star here's how it works."

Shane grabbed her making squeal poking her in the side. "Rock Star Mitchie, rock star."

"Ok, ok rock star."

Shane let her go and she showed him how to open his locker. Finally they both had their books and were ready for their first class. Then they heard a voice

"Oh my gosh look whose back its' tone deaf Torres." (TDT)

Mitchie groaned and turned around. A tall skinny blood stood there with a bunch of other kids.

"Have a good summer T.D.T?"

Mitchie knew a good come back. She knew one that would make her sound strong and independent but she opened her mouth to speak and nothing came out.

"Yeah…my summer was fine." She muttered.

"I saw you on tv. The votes were totally fixed. There is no way you were better than Camp Star."

"Actually she could have taken Camp Star on, by herself and still won the sing off. Mitchie is just that good." Shane said.

"Oh my gosh you're….you're…."

"Yes I'm Shane Grey."

"What are you doing here?"

"Taking a break from work."

"Why this school?"

"My girlfriend goes here."

"You have a girl friend?"

"Yep."

"Oh…well do you want to sit with us at lunch?"

"Sure…."

Mitchie looked hurt.

"As long as I can bring my girlfriend."

"Who is your girlfriend?"

Shane pulled Mitchie into his arms and kissed her head. "She is."

All the girls laughed. "That is your girlfriend? Whatever she is paying you to date her I'll double it to leave her."

"I'm with Mitchie because I love her."

Mitchie smiled.

"Yeah he loves me."

Ok so it wasn't the best come back but it was fun rubbing it in their faces.

"So if you want me to sit with you at lunch you have to allow Mitchie too." Shane said.

"Cause he loves me." Mitchie added with a smirk.

"Fine she can come."

The blond and her friends walked away.

"Who was she?" Shane asked.

"Let's just say she is Tess Tyler times ten."

"Ouch you have to see her every day?"

"Yep."

"Wow, I'm sorry."

"No Shane I'm sorry. I should have stood up for myself just now. I knew what to say but I just…I froze."

"Mitchie it's all right. Plus you did pretty good bragging about how much I love you."

Mitchie giggled.

"So now we have lunch plans." Shane said smiling at her.

"No, you have lunch plans I'm not sitting with them. I will not set myself up for that."

"Mitchie they want me to like that. So they will try and act nice. They won't do anything to you."

"Shane you have a lot to learn about high schools. That girl was the head cheerleader and what she wants she gets. If she doesn't get it everyone else has to suffer."

"Oh come on she can't be that bad."

"Just wait Shane, just wait."

Shane smiled at her and looked down at his list of classes.

"Mitchie there is a mistake with this. There isn't one class on here that involves music."

"No that's not a mistake."

"But how can I not be in a music class?"

"I'm not either no one is."

"You can't be seriously telling me this class doesn't have a music department?"

"No we have one. It's being used as storage."

"Why?"

"Because our last music teacher moved away and they couldn't find a new one so they just canceled music and stopped looking."

"That's crazy!"

"I know but that's how it is here Shane."

"I'm starting to understand why you love Camp Rock so much."

Mitchie just gave a small smile and nodded. "I wish I was there now."

"Me too Mitchie."

They both went to their homeroom. Once that was over they went to second period. After second period it was time for lunch. Shane and Mitchie got their food and went over to the table where everyone was sitting.

"Shane sit next to me." The blond girl said patting the open seat next to her.

"No thanks I'm going to sit here." Shane sat down and Mitchie was going to sit down next to him when she was knocked out of the way and knocked to the floor her tray landing on her.

"Oops sorry TDT." The blond giggled.

Shane got down next to her.

"Are you ok?" he asked removing the tray from her face.

"Physically I'm fine. A little sore but I'm fine."

"Mentally?"

Mitchie looked around everyone was laughing at her and pointing at her and laughing. Some were even whispering.

"Totally embarrassed."

Mitchie got up and ran from the lunch room. Shane ran after her. He found her in the hallway crying against the wall.

"Mitchie don't let them do this to you. You're stronger than this." He said touching her shoulder.

"Shane go away I've covered in food and I smell please go away."

"Never. Not in a million years."

Mitchie turned around to face him. "Can we not eat with them?"

"Of course. I'm sorry"

"It's ok."

Mitchie and Shane hugged.

"You know I could always just eat you." Shane teased tickling her sides lightly making her squeal and giggle.

"I'm going to clean off, wait for me?"

"Always."

Mitchie walked into the bathroom. Shane sighed. They had only been there half a day and already Mitchie was upset. At least it couldn't get any worse could it? Shane spoke too soon. Just as Mitchie came out of the bathroom another group of girls walked over to them. Mitchie went white.

"Serria…"

"Mitchie…"

They both just looked at each other for a moment.

"So the rumors are true. Shane Grey is attending this school." Another girl said.

"What are you doing with TDT a different girl asked.

"One she isn't TDT and Two she is my girlfriend and I love her. If any of you have a problem with that, too bad."

"Amber isn't Mitchie considered cool now though I mean she does know Shane Grey?" Serria asked.

"Mitchie will never be cool. So matter who she knows." The same blond from before answered. (the Tess Tyler times ten)

"Why not?"

"Because you're only cool if you have rich parents."

"My parents aren't rich."

"They are compared to Mitchie's isn't that why she had to go work at Camp Rock in the kitchen? Her father is barely hanging on at his job. You know Mitchie money can tear couples a part."

"Oh just shut your mouth Amber." Shane said.

"Is bad boy Shane coming back?"

"If protecting and standing up for the people I care about means bad boy Shane comes then fine. Leave Mitchie alone."

"Oh but it's so easy to pick on her. She makes it so much fun. I know just how to make her cry."

"Well we don't want to hear it."

Amber looked at the other girls. "Let's go." They all walked off and Shane turned to Mitchie.

"You all right?" he asked.

She just nodded. Serria came running back over. "Mitchie we need to talk."

"What could possibly have to say that Amber didn't."

"I'm sorry."

Shane turned back around to face Serria.

"What?"

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry we lost our friendship."

"We didn't lose anything. You threw it away when you chose them over me."

"Mitchie I…I'm sorry I just wanted to be cool."

"Well if being cool means throwing away your friendship with me then I'm sorry but I don't ever want to me cool." Mitchie said.

"Mitchie it's not like that. I…I didn't want to lose you but I wanted to be popular."

"Well you can't have both." Mitchie said.

"If you really cared about Mitchie the way you said you did being popular wouldn't matter to you." Shane said.

"But I do care about her."

"Let me ask you something. Let's say the roles were reversed. Let's say Mitchie got the offer to join the popular kids without you. Would you want her to leave you just for popularity?"

"No, of course not."

"So why did you do it to her?"

"Because…because I knew we'd never be able to be popular together. As long as I was friends with Mitchie I'd never be able to be popular."

"Wow some friend you turned out to be. If you were a real friend you wouldn't care about being popular. A real friend doesn't leave the other no matter. A real friend would have turned down the offer to be popular and stayed with their friend."

"Well Mitchie is the bad friend. She should be happy for me. I finally got what we always wanted. I'm popular."

"You threw away your friendship with her like it was yesterday's trash. She can't be happy for you." Shane said.

"Why is Shane sticking up for you Mitchie. I knew you weak but not this weak you can't even stand up to me,"

"She could if she wanted to. She just doesn't want to say something she'll regret so she's not saying anything at all. Now I suggest you go back to your little group before they realize you're gone."

Serria walked off.

"Thanks Shane."

"You're welcome baby." He turned to her. "You all right? You look really pale?"

"No, I feel sick."

Shane rubbed her back.

"Do you want to go home?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Shane it's your first day I don't want you leaving early because of me."

"Mitchie I'm Shane Grey I can have the whole school wrapped around my finger in a matter of seconds. I'll be able to make everything up."

"There is that huge ego." Mitchie muttered.

"It's the truth."

She nodded. "Ok, take me home." Then she ran into the bathroom Shane could hear her throwing up. He wished he could go in there and help her. A little bit later Mitchie came out. He wrapped his arms around her.

"Come on let's get you home."

Mitchie laid her head on his shoulder and nodded. They both left the school and went back home.

When they walked in they heard Connie on the phone.

"Yes Mrs. Johnson I'll have your food ready by Friday. Ok you have a good day too. Bye."

She hung up and looked up to see Mitchie barely standing. She sighed.

"Is she ok Shane?"

"A little ill but I'm sure she'll be fine."

"Take her into her room. I'll make her some soup."

Shane nodded and led Mitchie to her room and laid her down. He sat by her side.

"You feeling any better?"

"A little. I'm sorry you missed your first day."

"I don't mind. I rather spend the day with you here anyway."

She just gave a small smile. Shane kissed her head . "Close those beautiful eyes and get some rest."

"Will you stay?"

"Of course."

She closed her eyes and smiled as he softly started sing "Gotta Find You." When he stopped singing he smiled as he saw her sleeping peacefully. Connie walked in.

"She sleeping?"

"Yeah she's out."

"I'll just leave the soup on her dresser will you make sure she eats it?"

"Of course."

Connie started to walk out but then stopped and turned back "By the way Shane I want you to know how sorry I am for what you had to hear last night."

"It's all right Mrs. Torres. My parents used to fight all the time too."

"We've been going at this for two years but I'm trying to keep it together for Mitchie because I know she will lose her mind if we split. If you thought the way she acted after leaving Camp Star was bad you haven't seen anything. Mitchie once shut down so bad to the point she stopped talking for weeks."

"What happen?"

"Her father and I got into a fight and he left and didn't come back till the next morning. We started discussing divorce and Mitchie over heard her and she shut down. So we agreed to stay together for her sake. If we break up I don't know if she'll every recover."

"Honestly Mrs. Torres you're hurting her a lot more by always fighting. So if you don't want to get a divorce I suggest you find a way to stop fighting because that's the only way to help Mitchie."

"You're right Shane thank you."

"You're welcome."

Connie left the room and Shane sighed. He was going to help Mitchie no matter what it took. He'd help her stand up for herself against the bullies but also against her parents. She needed to stand up and tell her parents how she really feels about them fighting. He was going to help her do that. No matter what it took. She would be the real Mitchie again.

A/N next chapter Mitchie sees her father with another women but is it what it looks like? Also Shane helps Mitchie vent her true feelings about her parents fighting through song. If anyone has any good songs that would fit well with the situation please tell me. I've got nothing at the moment so any songs you could offer would be great.
