A/N: Hey all. Sorry this took a little longer, but I was working on a project for my boss. Anyway, here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 7
Almost three weeks later, another summer at Camp Rock was already half over...
"Two of three men involved were sentenced yesterday; the driver and one of the gunmen," Agent Schiff explained. "We're still waiting on the other shooter, some of the Carmine henchmen and Mickey Carmine himself. Before you know it, you'll be able to go back to your life."
"What if I don't want to?" Bailey asked.
"Is this about that guy?" Agent Schiff asked.
"Jason. And yes," Bailey replied. "Look, he knows Bailey. He likes Bailey. And you won't let me tell him the truth so..."
"You know I can't let you do that," Agent Schiff said. "But in a few more weeks this will all be over and you can tell them all the truth."
"But what if they hate me for lying?" Bailey asked. "And what if he doesn't like Mackenzie Grace? Maybe Mackenzie should stay gone, like the rest of her family, and Bailey Madison should remain in her place."
"From what I've seen, the only thing that makes Bailey different than Mackenzie is the red hair and green contacts. Underneath that, you're the same," Agent Schiff said.
"I hope you're right," Bailey said. "I have to go. I have a class."
"Have fun," Agent Schiff said. "And just hang in there a little bit longer."
Bailey put her cell phone away and ran back to her cabin to change before class.
"There you are," Jason said, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Where'd you go when you finished lunch?"
"Sorry, I had a phone call," Bailey replied, turning around in Jason's arms and brushing a kiss on his lips.
Bailey and Jason had become inseparable over the past few weeks. While they hadn't really defined their relationship, everyone pretty much figured they were a couple. They could frequently been seen walking through camp holding hands and when Jason had a free period, he could almost always be found watching Bailey's dance classes.
"Anything important?" Jason asked, sitting down and pulling Bailey onto his lap.
"Just some stuff for after camp ends," Bailey replied.
"What are you doing after camp?" Jason asked, kissing her neck.
"Hey, hey," Bailey said, standing. "None of that now. I have a class in two minutes."
"Later then?" Jason asked with a hopeful smile.
"We'll see," Bailey said, picking up her hair band to tie her hair back for class.

Bailey's advanced modern class...
"Okay, so does everyone know Joey Parker?" Bailey asked. (A/N: JP is from Another Cinderella Story with Selena Gomez, in case you didn't know.)
Several squealing and giggling girls made Bailey laugh
"Of course you do. Today I'm going to show you one of Joey's favorite routines," Bailey said.
Bailey put on some music and went through the routine once by herself. When she was finished, she spent the first part of class breaking the routine down one move at a time.
"This is such a cool routine," Caitlyn said.
"Yeah, Joey's always been a pretty good dancer," Bailey replied.
"You know him?" another camper asked.
"A little," Bailey replied. "I know the choreographer."
'You were the choreographer,' Bailey thought. 'God, this sucks.'
But what Bailey didn't realize was that that comment would be the beginning of her problems.
**********
"But baby, I want to take you out," Jason said.
Bailey was in the bathroom changing into her turquoise halter-top and denim cutoff shorts, having showered after her last dance class. She and Jason were having the same 'argument' that they had almost every evening because Jason wanted to take her on a date off camp property.
"Jase, your uncle has his rules for a reason," Bailey said, exiting her bathroom. "If he makes an exception for you; he'll have to do it for everyone."
"Alright," Jason said, knowing he wasn't going to win this battle.
"Thank you," Bailey replied, brushing a soft kiss on his lips. "Now Nate and Shane are having a movie night with Caitlyn and Mitchie."
"Can we just stay here?" Jason asked. "I just want you to myself tonight."
"Aw, you're so sweet," Bailey said, wrapping her arms around Jason's neck and kissing him.
"Whoa, sorry," Shane said, stopping short when he saw the couple.
"Oh," Nate said, seeing why his brother had stopped.
Bailey blushed and hid her red face in Jason's shoulder for a second.
"It's okay," Bailey said, trying to laugh off her embarrassment of getting caught by Jason's brother.
"You two joining us for dinner?" Nate asked, walking over to his dresser to change his shirt.
"Yes," Jason said. "She won't let me ask Brown to bend the rules."
"Hey!" Bailey exclaimed.
"Aw, it's okay, baby," Jason said, dropping a kiss on Bailey's bare shoulder and then her neck.
"Uh, hello? Still here," Shane said.
"Oh, like we haven't caught you and Mitchie doing the same," Jason said, rolling his eyes. "So are we going to dinner?"
"Yeah. Sorry, I jut needed to change my shirt," Nate said.
"Are you two going to be at movie night?" Shane asked.
"No, we're just going to hang out here," Bailey said, then catching the smirk on Shane's face, she slapped his arm. "Get your mind out of the gutter Shane. We're just going to watch some TV."
Nate just shook his head as Shane's jaw dropped, while Jason just laughed and took Bailey's hand as the group walked out of the cabin.

Later that night...
Tess had really been getting tired of Bailey getting so much attention.
After dinner that night, Tess went back to her cabin and started up her laptop. She figured she would find some kind of dirt on Bailey that she could use against her. Everyone had their secrets.
But after half an hour, Tess had gone through several hits for Bailey Madison, and none of them were right.
Then, remembering Bailey's comment about Joey Parker, Tess searched 'Joey Parker' and 'dancers'. She found some behind the scenes photos from a video shoot and noticed that one girl looked familiar.
Curious, Tess went through the camp photos she'd taken. She found one of Bailey and opened it in the photo-editing program. She changed Bailey's red hair to blonde and looked back at the photo of Joey Parker with his choreographer. They were the same girl. Bailey Madison was really choreographer and prima ballerina Mackenzie Grace.
"Gotcha," Tess said.
A/N: I know this chapter's a little shorter, but I didn't want to bring all the drama right away. I think I'll let Jason and Bailey have a few more 'fluff' moments before Tess brings the real drama. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
