It's My Life!!
This is a General Hospital and Higher Ground Crossover though it's main focus is on the Higher Ground Character. If you don't know anything about GH doing worry about it, cause it doesn't really matter. Also this takes place right after Shelby catches Scott and Juliet making out in the kitchen. So there not together yet or anything. This part one and if I get lots of feed back I'll post more :)
*"Yeah.... maybe"*
"Or maybe not" Shelby said to herself, as she watched Scott and Juliet make out in the kitchen.
Shelby held back the tears as she tore her eyes away from the very upsetting sight. She walked quickly away, not wanting to let anyone see her cry, when the barriers on her eyes, gave way, and the tears flowed freely. She walked quickly out of the building, and headed towards her cabin as fast as her small feet would take her. She was half way across the field when she heard someone call out her name
"Shelby!!"Katherine called after her friend, as she walked towards her "Come back. Peter's going to be singing soon!'"
"Nah.. I think I am just going to, you know, crash" Shelby said calmly, looking around, anywhere but at Katherine.
"Oh come on! It's going to be great.. I mean imagine Peter singing... it's once in a lifetime thing" Katherine said with a smile on her face. But that smile soon fell into a worried frown when she noticed, the look on Shelby's face, and the tears welled up in her eyes " Shelby..you ok?"
"I am fine" Shelby replied shortly "I am just tired and I want to go to bed."
"Don't lie" Kat replied, looking her friend in the eyes "What happened?"
"Who are you? Peter?" Shelby replied with a bitter, sarcastic laugh.
"No... just someone who cares" Kat replied remaining cool, knowing Shelby was just upset "Did something happen with Scott?"
"What? Did Scott somehow become the center on the universe, and no one told me" Shelby said sarcastically.
"No..." Katherine replied slowly "But he has seemed the be at the center on your universe lately"
"Well not anymore!" Shelby said angerly
"What did he say now?"
"Do you really want to hear this?"Shelby asked doubtfully
"Only if you want to tell me"
"Fine" Shelby said sitting down on a near by picnic table "Have a seat. This could take sometime"
"I have time" Kat said sitting down next to her
"Well ok, you how from like day 1, me and Juliet have kind of be, I don't know, fighting over Scott?"
"Yeah"
"Well She won" Shelby replied flatly, holding back the tears in her eyes.
"Are you sure about that?" Kat asked skeptically
"Yes, I couldn't ve more sure"
"And how did you find this out"
"I just saw him and Juliet making out in the Kitchen... like a 2 minutes ago. They looked like they where eating each other" Shelby said disgustedly.
"Ouch, that sucks sweetie. But I mean, Shelby, really, you can have any guys you want. I mean he's just 1 guy, there are a million guys just like him. What makes him so special?"
"That's the thing. I don't know. He treated me like shit, calling me a wore, more then once, and referring to me using terms like used car! And ya know, I would stand up for myself at the time but then I'd go back for more again, and again. But tonight was different. He apologized for all the mean things he said, and he actually sounded sincere you know. He said he wanted to get to know me better. And of course, being the idiot I am, I thought he actually meant it. But not 2 minutes later he and Queenie are sucking face"
"Shelby, your not an idiot for believing him. Maybe he really does want to, on the friendship level"
"Well at this point I don't want to know him on any level" Shelby said "But if you'll excuse me I'd really like to go to my cabin and sulk in peace"
"No sulking tonight.. Peter's actually gonna sing, you cant miss this!" Kate said with a smile, "And certainly not for some overly egotistical boy"
"Kate, I really appreciate you trying here but I-"
"No way am I gonna let you miss this" Kate said cutting her off
"Fine, but don't let him near me and do not expect me to be nice to him or Queenie" Shelby said rolling her eyes, and crossing her arms
"Fine" Kat said rolling her eyes, smiling. Then she grabbed on and Shelby's arms and pulled her up, "Come on, before we miss it"
"Alright, alright" Shelby said laughing quietly in spite of herself, as Kate dragged her down to join the rest of then group.
"Shelby! Where were you?" Juliet asked happily as Shelby approached the group.
"Somewhere else" Shelby said shortly, rolling her eyes.
"Sorry for asking" Juliet said quietly, slightly hurt, walking away.
"Sucks being second does it?" a male voice said from behind her.
"What do you-" Shelby started to say as she turned around quickly. In front of her stood, a tall, dark, muscular man. Dark Brown hair and deep brown eyes. He had to be about 18. Very preppie "Oh sorry. I thought you where someone else"
"It's ok, I'm Nikolas. And your.. Shelby correct?" The boy said with a small, kind smile
"Yeah, how'd you know that?" Shelby asked suspiciously , eyeing him.
"I am stalking you... No actually I happen to over hear your conversation with Katherine. That guy you where talking about sounds like a jerk to me"
"You where listening to a private conversation?" Shelby asked sharply
"I didn't mean to. I was just laying on one of the benches when you and Katherine came over. I didn't want to disturb your conversation. It seemed very important. Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me"
"Thanks" Shelby said softly, then turned back into Shelby mode "SO let me guess. Your one of the academy boys. Your looking for a little, no strings attached fun, with a real women? Cause you know, I think I might just have some time for you right now."
"You sure are blunt aren't you" Nikolas said laughing softly "Yes I am from the academy, but I am not that kind of guy"
"All guys are the kind of guy" Shelby replied looking him in the eyes "Unless there gay. Are you?"
"Gay? No!" Nikolas replied with a laugh. "I am honestly just a nice guy"
"Aint not such kind of guy" Shelby said
"There is now, that I am around"
"Right... so Nikolas, what do you think of our humble abode. I know it's not the Ritz your use to but we like it alright" Shelby said looking around
"It's quiet lovely actually. The view up here is exquisite" Nikolas said only looking at her
"Oh a sweet talker" Shelby said lightly blushing "You sure your not interested in some real fun?"
"If it's with you I am.. Eventually"
"What does that mean?" Shelby said confused
"That means that.... well you'll just have to wait and see what that means."
"I don't have much patience. What if I don't feel like waiting?" Shelby asked with a small smile
"Then we'll both miss out on a great Esperance. So I hope you will wait."
"Mhhh... maybe... I'll try" Shelby said with a smile. "So.. Nikolas... you rich?"
"I am comfortable" Nikolas said with a smirk "your not going to date me for my money are you?"
"Who said I am going to date you at all?" Shelby said with a raised eyebrows, and small smile
"Ouch.. That hurt!"Nikolas placing a hand over his heart and pretending to be wounded
"AW did the poor little rich baby get hurt?"
"Yes"
"Well get over it"
"My, my aren't we a mean cat"
"Shut up!"
"I don't want to" he wined "I like talking you. Not only are you gorgeous, but you nothing like the snobby girls from my school."
"Thank god for small miracles" Shelby said with a smile "So Nikolas do you have a last name"
"Yes I do"
"What is it?"
"You'll just have to wait and find out now wont you?" Nikolas flirted
"We'll see"
~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Who is the Jerk Shelby's flirting with? " Scott asked out loud as he stood next to Kate.
"Oh him.. That's Nikolas. He is pretty nice if you ask me. Has a lot of money too.. Not to mention a hot body"
"Yeah if you like that preppie uptight type" Scott snapped
"Oh someone is jealous." Kate answered knowingly "I thought you didn't like Shelby."
"I don't. She probably just wants to fool around with him like the rest of the guys."
"Maybe... or maybe not. Maybe she wants a real relationship with him" Kate said deafening her friend.
"Well ovously she has bad taste"Scott said snobbily
"Well ovously. I mean, she liked you didn't she" Kate snapped then walked away, leaving Scott dumbfounded
"So Nikolas, no last name, what's your story? Why'd you get shipped off to boarding school? Shelby questioned
"Let's just say me and my family didn't exactly enjoy each other company. Plus they wanted me to get a really good education. You?"
"Killed a guy" Shelby said with a completely serious face
"Your joking right?"Nikolas said laughing slightly nervously
"Maybe."Shelby replied "maybe not"
"Oh your a sharp one"
"Your an odd one"
"Listen" Nikolas said noticing his group beginning to get on there charter bus to go back to school "I have to go. What are visiting hours up here?"
"Right after Hard labor, right before Lock down"
"Come Shells, help me out here" Nikolas said with a pleading look on his face "or else I am going to be forced to go asked the leader guy of yours, and beg to be allowed to see you, because I have need to see your gorgeous smile"
"Go ahead" Shelby said with an 'I dare you' smirk
"Fine I will" Nikolas said leaning in, looking like he was going to kiss her. Then he quickly took her hand and raised it up to his lips, genitally kiss it. "Good evening "milady I hope to see you again soon"
And with that Nikolas gave a small bow and backed away slowly, though he never broke eye contact with Shelby.
"Oh Nikolas" Shelby called after him with a smile
"Yes?"
"3 to 8"
"Alright... I'll be here at 3 PM sharp Good night"
"Night" Shelby replied then turned and practically floated toward her cabin, a blissful smile across her face
~~~
"God could that guy be anymore annoying. Look at him with his fake charm. Gees what he do, watch Cinderella too much as a child" Scott said
"I think it's sweet" Juliet said happily "I hope Shelby and him hook up"
"I don't" Scott said quietly, watching Shelby walk to her cabin "He's just wrong for her"
"Why not? He seems just fine to me"Juliet said her smile fading as she fallowed her boyfriends gaze
"I am going to go talk to her. See you in the morning" Scott said then started to jog over to catch up with Shelby.
