Camp Rock.

The greatest summer opportunity for kids who loved music.

A prestigious, elite summer camp for aspiring teenage musicians and performers from all over the country.

And it was exactly where Desi belonged.

Backpack slung over one shoulder, he stopped outside his assigned cabin for a second, catching his reflection in the window. His bleached white hair was as messy as ever, strands falling into his eyes in every direction despite the fact he'd tried to fix it earlier.

Satisfied enough, he took a breath and pushed the door open.

The cabin buzzed with conversation, laughter, and the sound of bags being unpacked.

Desi stepped inside, gripping the strap of his backpack as a wide, excited smile spread across his face. His eyes darted around the room, taking in every detail with barely contained amazement.

"Hey guys! I'm Desi!"

His voice carried an easy warmth, equal parts friendly and enthusiastic, as he greeted his new cabinmates, already looking forward to whatever the summer had in store.
