Chapter 3: It's not goodbye

Shane's POV:

"No we shouldn't, Luke. It should be the other campers singing. It's they're time to shine. And anyway we don't have a song to sing," Mitchie insisted.

"Oh come on, seriously Mitch. Who else other than people here can say that we were the first one to watch Smitchie? Seriously, come on... Make us happy, pretty please. For your best friend," Nate pouted, begging me and Mitchie to sing.

"MITCHIE! SHANE!" Everyone chanted, looks like we didn't have a choice.

We walked up stage as Brown shoved a mic in my hand and another mic into Mitchie's hand.

I had in my of a song we wrote over the summer.

"Guys, thank you for all of the support and I am happy that you guys approve of me dating Mitchie. So here is a song we wrote over the summer. Hope you like it," I said into the mic as I grabbed my guitar, slowly singing into my mic.

Shane : they say the beat of a butterflies wings
can set off a storm in the world away
Mitchie: what if the ride in the smallest things
can power the strongest hurricane
Shane: what if it all begins inside

(make a wave)

"Is my eyes deceiving me? Mich-Michella Alison Torres? Is that really you?"
I recognised that voice anywhere.

I saw as Mitchie noded timidly, smiling. Mom ran to Mitchie on stage and enveloped Mitchie in a hug.

"How is Connie? I missed you, Mitch and your mother. You have grown so much to be this fine woman you are today." Mitchie blushed at the comment too.

"Good to know you love Mitchie more than me, Mom. I guess your son is not important at all," I feigned hurt and sadness as I walked down the stairs of the stage.

Everyone laughed at the comment. Despite that, I was glad I didn't have to worry about them liking Mitchie.

"Oh come here and give you mother a hug. Same goes for you too, Trevor, Jase and Nate!" We Grey brothers had a group hug, squashing Mitchie in between guys.

Everyone was laughing at our little exchange. Dad joined us and greeted Mitchie.

"And don't your little brother get a hug too," I laughed at Uncle Brown childlike manner as Both Mom and Dad gave him a hug. All of us walked down the stairs as Mom and Dad joined Brown while me, Nate, Jase and Mitchie joined the others at one of the benches.

Soon all the campers had our final song as we sang 'We Rock'. We all had fun. Soon enough, all of us would be leaving. I don't want to go home...

After our performance, Shane, Nate, Jason, Trevor, Caitlyn and I approached Denise and Paul.

"So guys, we have an important announcement that we wanted to tell you. We wanted to tell Brown here yesterday, but we wanted to tell you guys together," Mom said, trying to keep a straight face but her lips were twitching into a smile.

"Well, apparently your tutor has quit her job and it is not easy to get a tutor nowadays. And since you don't have tour anytime soon, we are planning to have you go to public school, well Nate and Trevor, that is. And I also found a studio at Arizona street so we are moving back to Arizona! We already moved all your stuff!"

I was so excited, so were Nate, Jason and my girlfriend. Caitlyn looked down though.

"And so who is this girl with the voice I hear about every day? You told me you were going to ask her out, can I see her?" Mom said excitedly, jumping in joy. Sometimes I wonder if Mom is actually 40.

I swear I saw Mitchie turned red. I didn't need to look in a mirror to tell my face was burning up.

"Well Mom, as you can see since Shane is practically embarrassed that you reveal that he talks about her everyday, you already know this girl. She is standing right in front of you, covering her tomato face," Nate said teasing me and Mitchie.

I didn't even know it was possible to become even redder. I bet my head was going to explode.

"OH MY GOD! I am so happy for you two," Mom screeched as she grabbed me and Mitchie into a group hug.

Everyone laughed as Paul spoke up, "That means a yes. And Shane it's a yes from me too. Make sure she stays happy, otherwise I wouldn't know how to face Connie and Steve!"

I laughed and thanked him.

Caitlyn's POV:

All of us walked into the mess hall. I am so glad for Mitchie and the Gray's. I just wished my parents were always there for me. They are so lucky. My parents were always too busy travelling around the world. I rarely saw them. I live with my grandmother. To make up for not being there for me, they always send me things like iPad and phones. Every month they would send me a $1000. I spent $100 a month and probably save the rest of my money. Sure they were rich and all but I wanted a real home.

As I stepped into Mess Hall, I heard Mrs and Mr Grey hugged Connie. But what I couldn't believe my eyes. "MOM! DAD! What are you doing here?" I ran over and hugged them.

"CAITLYN! We got a day off so we decided to drop by. And we were talking to this fine lady here. And we have news for you. Connie you should tell her," Dad said.

"Well, I heard that you have been living with your grandmother. Your grandmother is moving to the UK with your parents and your parents want you to complete your studies. So we have discuss this, Steve and I have agreed you can move in the Torres's household and go to school with Mitchie! There is a spare bed in Mitchie's room you can use."

OMG, this can't be real! I was so happy. I hugged her thanking her profusely and also hugged Mitchie.

"I can't believe I am moving in with you Mitchie. Aahh, I am so excited! I am staying with my best friend!"

"I already send your stuff to the Torres house. We nidda get going. Bye Caity. Love ya," Mom and Dad hugged me as they left.

This is gonna be one heck of a good year.

"Well excuse me but I really need to get to the office. The phones are driving me crazy," Connie exclaimed as she flail her arms in exasperation.

Mrs Grey offered to help as Mr Torres, Paul and Brown were deep in conversation.

Mitchie's POV:

I was so happy. Things could not get any better could they?

I saw as Tess approached me, everyone else cringed behind me.

"Hey Tess what's up," I asked casually.

"Well I've got to leave. See you around Mitchie. Make sure you text and email me alright," Tess said nervously.

I hugged her, "Sure, Tess. I will. And before you ask, all is forgiven. And might I say, Luke has a thing for you, that's why he came here to the jam session this morning."

She smiled as she thanked me before leaving the mess hall. Everyone looked shock and well, awkward.

Breaking this awkward silence, I suggested, "Why not we hit the docks? The next time we'll be there is probably in 9 months time!"

Everyone agreed as we sprinted there. Brown, with Trevor by his side, shouting to us, "Don't forget about Counsellor's dinner at 5!"

Barron and Sander ran off to take one of the canoe's before rowing it to the middle of the lake. Peggy and Andy sat by the beach while Ella and Jason were sitting under a tree. Awhhh they look so cute together. They would make a perfect couples. Me, Shane, Caitlyn and Nate sat by the docks.

"This summer has been so perfect. At least I will still see you guys at Arizona. We are moving back to the same house again so we will be seeing each other every day. Me and Trevor would probably still be in the same school as you guys. Shane and Jase don't have to attend school. And I bet Shane would go to your house more often rather than last time where he never bothered looking at his neighbours!" I laughed at Nate's comment.

And I would have to agree.

"Yeah popstar over here can't stand to be away from you even for a minute!" Caitlyn said.

"What did you say, Caitlyn! First of all, only Mitchie can call me pop star and secondly I am gonna get you for this!" Shane stood up chasing Caitlyn. I laughed at them as they looked hilarious.

"Isn't Caitlyn cute?" I heard Nate mutter under his breath.

This is the perfect opportunity. We were alone and I guess I could ask him.

"Hey Nate do you happen to like Caitlyn? Do you like Dana?" I asked cautiously.

"I don't really like Dana. She's kinda weird but nice and friendly. I don't feel anything special about her. Caitlyn's my best friend. I don't know, I don't know. I don't think she would like a guy like me," Natey said dejectedly.

"Well I happen to know my best friend is a chicken. Come on, give it a shot Natey-poo, you'll never know if you never try," I convinced him. I knew about Caitlyn's little crush. Let's say I read her diary and felt pretty bad about it.

"Ok Mitch, I'll try!" He said hugging me.

After a while all of us walked back to the mess hall for our counsellor's dinner.

"So Brown, which school are you teaching music this year?" Denise asked.

"Well, I'll be teaching at Arizona High. Apparently their music teacher quit so I got a job there and it's easier to get to work too!" Brown said excitedly.

"Wait does that mean, Mr Jones quit? Really? I thought he said he loved teaching us?" I asked. Brown's teaching in our school, that's gonna be interesting.

"Glad to know you don't want me to teach in your school." Brown fake pout as I apologized laughing.

Dinner past by well. Barron, Ella, Peggy, Andy and Sander went home as we promised to meet up soon. We left to Arizona. This is a new experience I won't forget!
