It was the day before Scott has to leave for home. He didn't know how to tell Shelby. Couple days ago, he see
that Shelby and Shane are getting really close together and he doesn't know how to deal with that pressure and the
pressure of leaving her.

Everyone of the cliffhangers knew that Scott was leaving. They knew that Scott should tell her, but time
was running out.

Scott is by the lake, sitting, alone. Suddenly David came over.

David- Hey scott (sit down)

Scott- hey

David- tomorrow is your last day, uh?

Scott- yeah...

David- sad?

Scott- yeah

David- why?! I would be trilled to get put of this place!

Scott- who wouldn't (mutter)

David- yo, maybe. When you get home. You can, uh, hooked me up with some magazines.

Shane, EZ, and Auggie came in the scene

Shane- Scott, you know you should tell Shelby before so she and I can hooked up.

Scott- whatever man.

Shane- that's what you'll be saying when it be me and her makin' out (laugh)

Auggie- yo leave him alone!

Ezra- Scott, you should tell her before shane does. Then it's gonna get really ugly.

Scott- I'll tell her when it's the right time.

Ezra- when's that?

Scott- soon...

Shane- Looked dude, I don't want to get in the relationship...

Scott- yeah right (smirked)

Shane- ...but I also don't want to see her like... you know. It's best if you just get it over with
it.

Scott- what?!? Dumped her?

Shane- It's the only way.

Ezra- Don't listen to him Scott, he just want Shelby.

Auggie- Yo Preppy, you betta stop playin' with Shelby or anyone

Shane- What! I'm playin with Shelby? I'm only trying' to eaze the pain down.

Auggie- Yo whatever.


Scene over and Scott is now walking toward shelby who is at the couch by herself.

*We both know that I shouldn't be here*
*This is wrong*
*And baby it's killing me, it's killing you*
(Scott by the door standing there, staring at Shelby)
*Both of us trying to be strong*
(Shane stared with a smile on his face as he watch Scott moves toward Shelby)
*I've got somewhere else to be*
*Promises to keep*
*Someone else who loves me*
*And trusts me fast asleep*

Scott- hi

Shelby- hey Scott

Scott- I got something to tell you.

*I've made up my mind*
*There is no turning back*
*She's been good to me*
*And she deserve better than that*


Scott- this is the hardest thing I have ever done. So try to understand.

Shelby- what is it?

*It's the hardest thing*
*I'll ever have to do*
*to looked you in the eyes*
*And tell you I don't love you*

Scott looked into shelby's eyes.

Scott- I don't think we... (sigh) I don't think we should see each other anymore.

*It's the hardest thing*
*I'll ever have to lie*

Shelby- What? Did I did something wrong? Tell me? So we could work it out.

Shelby was trying hard to hold back the tears.

*To show no emotion*
*when you start to cry*

Scott stared into Shelby's eyes, but turned away. He didn't want to looked in that baby-blue eyes cause if he
did he knew that he would come spilling out the secret.


*I can't let you see*
*what you mean to me*
*when my hands are tied*
*and my heart's not free*
* we're not meant to be*

Scott- we're just not meant to be.

Shelby- (this time a tear strained down) You found someone else?

Scott- yeah... but I hope you and shane be happy together.

With that Scott just walked out the door without turning around.

*It's the hardest thing*
*I'll ever have to do*
*To turn around and walk away*
*Pretending I don't love you anymore*
Scott leaning against the front door with his eyes close.
*I know that we'll met again*
Scott looked around and then left to his dorm. His hazel eyes and his beautiful sad smile was just so breathtakin'.
Like in "close Encounter" when S&S were lying at the beginning of the episode. (that's how good he looked...j/p..lol)
*Fate has a place and time*
*So you can get on with your life*
*I've got to be cruel to be kind*
*Like Dr.Zhivago*


(SHELBY)

Shane in thought- Well this is my chance. (walked over to Shelby)

shane- Shelby...I saw what happen are you okay?

Shelby- yeah, I'm fine. (slient) you know it's good to have a friend like you. (hug)

Scott stand by the door and saw what happen

*All my love I'll be sending*
*and you will never know*
Scott was more sad then upset. He turn around slowly and walked out.
*Cuz there can be no happy ending*

Daisy- (from a corner saw) Oh, scott (mumble in sadness)
