Sorry I've been making you guys wait so long I had to start back with school and am really busy. So, here's the next chapter.

We soon pulled into the parking lot under there hotel and went in. We went into the elevator and I pressed the button for penthouse. Caitlyn quickly knocked on the door and a Jason with a shirt on backwards opened the door.

"Hey guys!" Kevin called out cheerfully while giving us a hug and letting us into their apartment. Caitlyn sat down with Nate on the couch and U joined them.

"Hey Nate."

"Hey."

"Where's Shane?"

"He's in his bedroom."

I left to Shane's room and saw him laying on his bed watching an action movie.

"Mitchie! You scared me. What are you doing here?"

"We were up here to see Tess and decided to drop by."

"We?"
"Caitlyn's in the living room."

"Ah."

"So, whatcha watching?"

"It's called 'Lara Croft: The Tomb-raider.'"

"I've never heard of it."

"Well I don't think you watch a lot of action movies."

"That is true."

I sat with Shane for awhile and watched the movie. I soon got into the movie when Lara Croft started shooting mummies and robots. After a while we decided to get up and go get something to eat. We went to a nice Mexican restaurant called La Varca. We had fun eating and watching the Mexicans playing their instruments. After we ate we went back to the hotel because we had to get ready to go home. I didn't want to leave Shane, but my mom wouldn't want me to stay since she needed my help with a wedding tomorrow. So Caitlyn and I left on our way home. The next Monday when I went to school I was sitting in Home room when my teacher asked if anyone would like to participate in the talent show the school was having this Saturday. Whoever won would get $100 in cash. I decided to go for it since I was more brave about singing in front of an audience and I really did need the money. I was going to New York every other weekend and I would need the money for gas. I quickly signed the sheet then had to leave to my Science class. At lunch break I decided to call Shane and tell him that I entered the contest.

"Hello?"

"Hey Shane."

"Hey. What are you doing?"

"I have my lunch break and decided to call you. So, what are you doing?"

"I'm getting ready for an interview we have later today."

"When is it?"

"3:15 on Hot Tunes."

"Okay. Guess what?"

"What?"

"Today in home room I found out that we are having a talent show this Friday and I entered it."

"That's great. I'll see if I can make it."

"Shane you don't have to come. My mom will probably get it on video."

"But I want to come. I want to see you sing. That is what your going to do isn't it?"

"Yes. I was thinking I'll sing 'This Is Me'"

"Good choice."

"I wish I didn't have to but I need to get some lunch so I can go back to schoolwork, ugh..."

"That's fine. I'll talk to you tonight, okay? Bye."

"Bye."

I grabbed my lunch and went off to find Caitlyn. I found her sitting at a table on her phone. I sat down next to her and tried to guess who she was talking too.

"Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you so much."

Even thought Caitlyn didn't go to my school she had to leave tomorrow and was aloud to see me at lunch time.

"So, what are you so thankful about?"

"My mom wants to move to California this fall but I didn't want too. I asked if I could stay up here with my grandmother which lives not long from your house and she said I could! I'm going to get to come to school with you!"

"Oh my gosh! I can believe it."

"I know."

"I have good news too though."

"What?"

"I signed up for the talent show that the school is going to have this Friday!"

"You are?"

"I thought you were shy about singing in front of a crowd."

"Well I was but I'm not as shy as I was since I sang at Final Jam."

"So, what are you going to sing?"

"I was thinking about 'This Is Me.'"

When your school is over you have to practice."

"Okay. But I know the song by heart."

"Yes. But let's do it anyway."

After lunch I had to go back to schoolwork and Caitlyn went back to my house. After school I went home and saw Caitlyn laying on the couch asleep. I sat down on the couch and waited for her to wake up. About 10 minutes later Caitlyn woke up.

"Hey lazy bones."

"Hey Mitchie. How long have you been here?"

"About 10 or 15 minutes."

"Are you ready to practice?"

"Sure."

We went upstairs to my room to practice my song. I was just singing along and when I got to Shane's part I didn't know whether to sing or not but then Caitlyn started singing in her man voice and I couldn't continue singing because I was cracking up.

"What?"

"You sound so weird."

"Well I thought I would fill in on Shane's part. Are you going to sing his part?"

"I guess so."

"Well then you need to practice singing that part without my 'manly voice.'"

We both fell over laughing. We decided that was enough practicing for today and we went downstairs to watch TV. The rest of the week passed by quickly until Friday. The day went by so slow. After school I went to the auditorium to get ready to sing. I was the first one to go on so I was waiting backstage. Soon it started to fill up. The last person I saw enter was Shane. He had a hat and sunglasses on so no one would recognize him. Soon The lights dimmed.

"Please welcome our first contestant, Mitchie Torres."

Cliffhanger! I bet you hate me. Please review!
