AN: Hi everyone here is chapter 6. I have been off work ill all weak and stuck in bed most of that time so most of this was written while I was taking strong cold medication. Thank you SO much to everyone who has reviewed this story and those who put it on favourites or alerts. I'm so glad that other people are enjoying this story too as it is my favourite out of all the stories I have up on fan fiction. This chapter is where things really start to change so let me know what you think.
Chapter 6
Mitchie's alarm clock went off just as the sun began to filter trough the cabins windows. She shut it off quickly and looked at the girls in the beds around her; thankfully they were all still asleep.
As quietly as she could Mitchie slipped on her jeans and t-shirt, she carried her shoes in her hand intending to put them on once she was outside because going bare foot she was less likely to wake everyone up.
Just as she was about to slip out door Mitchie court her foot on Lily's skate board that had been left in the door way. She managed to stop her self from falling by grabbing onto the door frame however to do this she had to drop her shoes. They landed hard on the wooded floor sounding like a thunder clap in the otherwise silent cabin.
Both Miley and Caitlyn shot up right in their beds, Lily just snuggled into her pillows before mumbling
"I thought you might try to leave us behind so I bobby trapped the door"
Wordlessly a still half asleep Miley and Caitlyn got up and began to get dressed while Mitchie sat on the end of Lily's bed to put her shoes on. Lily finally dragged herself out of bed but only after Mitchie had stolen all of her covers and beaten her over the head with her pillow numerous times.
Ten minute's later all four girls were washed, dressed and walking though the kitchen door.
"Good morning girls" Connie greeted them brightly "You up early"
"Tell me about it" said Caitlyn with a yawn
"Oh Mitchie you should have left your friends to sleep" Connie scolded her daughter looking sympathetically at Lily and Caitlyn who looked like they were ready to go back to bed.
"I tried" Mitchie insisted "But someone bobby trapped the door" she explained looking directly at Lily.
"What's on the menu this morning Mrs Torres" asked Miley quickly changing the subject.
"Oh Miley please call me Connie" Connie told the smiling girl who seemed to be the most awake of all the girls.
"This morning we are have Oat meal, pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs" she said answering Miley's question.
Miley, Lily and Caitlyn all looked at her wide eyed
"Will we get all of that ready in time" asked Lily glancing at her watch.
Connie and Mitchie looked at one another and just smiled
"No sweat" they both said.
That morning Lily got a crash course from Connie on how to make pancakes that people could actually eat while Caitlyn made Oat Meal, Miley scrambled eggs and Mitchie fried Bacon. In no time at all the food was prepared and set up in the mess hall.
"Wow, we did it" Lily stated as she watched the campers swoop down on the food tables.
"Yes we did" Miley agreed proudly as she finished her pancakes "By the way good job with the pancakes Lilz" she added
"Yeah there really good" Caitlyn confirmed
"Thanks guys" Lily mumbled and began to blush
"So who's looking forward to singing class?" Mitchie asked quickly dawning attention away from Lily's cooking. (She received a grateful smile from Lily for doing so)
"I'm really excited" said Miley with a big smile
"Me to" said Caitlyn "singing class is one of my favourites"
"Well if we're all done here we should probably get going" Said Mitchie eagerly she couldn't' wait to get to class.
The three excited girls hadn't noticed how quite their friend had become. Lily had been dreading singing class ever since Lola had told her about it at the open mike night last night. She had been thinking about it ever since and had decided that it wasn't for her.
The four girls left the mess hall together but only three of them intended to go to class.
"Hey guys I left something in the cabin you go ahead I'll see you there"
Miley just shook her head sadly she highly doubted that they would see Lily anywhere near singing class let alone in the class itself. Miley had told Caitlyn and Mitchie as much earlier but Mitchie was holding out more hope than Miley, singing class was her chance to prove to everyone (including Lily) how well Lily could sing.
"OK" she smiled brightly at Lily "See you there, I'll save you a seat"
"Thanks" said Lily uncomfortably before walking toward the girl's cabin.
Once Lily knew the girls were out of sight she changed direction and ran. She wasn't going to the cabin because once the others realized that she was skipping that would be the first place they would look for her.
She had seen a doc up by the lake yesterday it seemed the perfect place to hide and maybe seeing the lake would stop her form missing the ocean as much. This was the farthest away from the ocean she had ever been she would never had guessed how much she would miss the calming blue mass of water. She missed it so much it was almost a physical ache inside her and she had only been away for two days.
To get to the doc Lily had to pass the instructors cabins but she wasn't worried they all had classes to teach so no one would be there to see her or so she thought.
To say that Shane was in a bad mood this morning would be an understatement. He had been in a bad mood ever since he had arrived but this morning he was in an extra bad mood.
He had been woken up this morning by his uncle Brown tipping a vase full of water over his head. To add insult to injury he had to refill the vase and now was having to put his mattress in the sun to dry because he would not be getting a replacement for the soggy one.
Shane was so wrapped up in his own bad mood that he almost missed the blond who went running past him so fast he half expected to see a pack of angry wolfs on her tail.
Forgetting that he was still dressed in his pyjamas Shane decided to check out what was going on. It didn't take him long to find the blond she was sitting on the doc with her knees drawn up to her chest. She was watching the water with a look in her eyes that Shane could only describe as longing.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" he snapped at her "Don't you have class?"
"Yes I have class but I'm skipping" she answered softly
Shane was so surprised by her quite honest answer that he forgot to be a jerk.
"Why?" he asked sitting down next to her
"I can't sing" she said in the same soft voice she had used before
"Everyone can sing" Shane reassured her, she just gave him a look full of disbelief.
"Not necessarily well" conceded
"I'm awful, no I'm worst than awful I'm make you ear's bleed awful. She told him sadly
"If you believe that why are you even here?" Shane asked
"I came along with my friend, she has an amazing voice" she explained
"So you're going to spend your whole summer skipping?" Shane asked
"Not all of it" She said getting defensive
"Well if you can't sing what can you do?" Shane challenged
"I can dance" she told him
"So you're a dancer?" Shane asked he had to admit form the little he had seen of her as she ran past him earlier she did have a dancers body, all toned and athletic.
"I wouldn't call myself a dancer but I can move" she clarified
Shane shook his head and chuckled
"You know what I think?" He asked
"What?" the girl asked warily
"Your scared" he informed her
"I'm not scared of anything" she snapped her blue eyes flashing with anger
"Really?" asked Shane filling his voice with as much disbelief as he could
"You refuse to even consider that you might be able to sing-
"I can't -" she cried but Shane just gave her a stern look for interrupting
"And" he continued "you don't believe you dance well enough to be a dancer, I don't think you believe in your self enough to try that means your scared"
"I am not" she protested childishly
"Prove it Dancer go to class" he challenged her.
Shane didn't know why he cared if she went to class or not nor did he know why he was enjoying talking to her so much. The truth was talking to the blond that he now thought of as Dancer was the most fun he had had in a long time and didn't want her to miss out an anything that Camp Rock had to offer because she felt insecure.
Dancer was now looking at him with eyes full of exasperation
"First, I'm not that easy to play and second I have a name it's-"
Shane interrupted her "If I know your name I have to report you to Brown for skipping so lets just stick with Dancer" he told her
She heaved a sigh and rolled her eyes "Do I look like a reindeer" she snapped "And don't you have class Prancer?" She asked
"Didn't you hear I'm a star, I can do whatever I like" he said jerky Shane was beginning to rear his ugly hear but her reply pushed him down again.
"No you just think you can" she said with a sad shake of her head
"Look Dancer, it's up to you but won't you friend want you there for her?" he asked
"She'll be fine with out me" she reassured him
"Then don't do it for her do it for you. Chose to try and something amazing might just happen"
Dancer got to her feet and began to dust herself off with a sigh; Shane couldn't help but smile at the thought that he had finally gotten thought to the stubborn beauty.
"Fine" she conceded "But a word of advice, try taking your own advice" she told him before she ran off in the direction she had come leaving Shane and the doc behind her.
When Lily got to the class room that singing class was being held in she peeped trough the small window in the door. The class was full of students but there was no teacher yet, she wondered if this was the class that Shane was meant to be teaching.
She found it hard to believe that she the guy she had just been talking to was the same guy that had snapped at her yesterday.
Lily continued to watch the camper's trough the window they had started their own impromptu jam session. Lily could see Miley and Mitchie clapping along while Caitlyn danced it looked like they were all having fun.
"I think we should get in there, don't you poppet?" whispered a voice beside her making her jump. Lily had be so engrossed in what was going on inside that she hadn't noticed Brown creep up next to her.
There was something about the way Brown looked at her that made her think that he knew she was still thinking of running away even now but he didn't say anything.
"Shall we?" he said holding the door open for her to go first.
Lily quickly snuck in and grabbed the seat next to Mitchie witch she had saved for her, as she had said she would. Brown took his place at the front of the room.
"Hey" Mitchie whispered "Glad you made it"
Lily smiled at her but couldn't reply because just then Brown called Mitchie up to sing.
Mitchie was hesitant at first but with a little encouragement from brown she launched into an original song. She was so good that she shocked the whole class into silence; you could have heard a pin drop.
Lily thought she saw a look of worry in Tess's eyes but it passed so quickly she couldn't be sure.
After class Tess, Ella and Peggy approached the girls.
"Hey Mitchie" Tess greeted nicely
"Can we talk to you alone" she asked shooting Caitlyn, Lily and Miley a dirty look. Mitchie looked unsure but nodded her head.
"We'll be right here" Caitlyn reassured her as she followed Tess.
"So I've been thinking" Tess said "You have to sing with us in final jam. Your vocals in the background would be amazing. We never let new people in out group, particularly ones with such a low social standing but for you I think we can make an exception, so do you want in?" Tess asked
Mitchie did her best to smile politely at Tess she hoped that Tess was just so self adsorbed that she did realise how insulting she was being.
"Thanks Tess but no thanks" she almost spat before retuning to her friends.
"Come on guys, let's go" she told them
None of the four girls even spared Tess a backwards glance as they set off towards the Kitchen.
