Sophie watched as all the Cliffhangers found a seat under the gazebo. They were unusually quiet, and she couldn't help but wonder why…She shrugged the thought off and put down the book she had been holding. She walked to the middle of the gazebo and waited until she had everyone's attention. Once she did…
Sophie: Ok guys, group.
They all sat there stunned
Shelby: Sophie. You're kidding right?
Sophie shook her head 'no'
Auggie: We just listened to Peter's speech for like half an hour, and now we gotta have group?
Daisy: *dryly* I told you the death sentence was being brought upon us.
They all groaned as Sophie handed David a stick
Sophie: David, you start.
David stared at her and raised and eyebrow
David: And the topic is…
They all laughed at him, except Sophie who shrugged her shoulders
Sophie: Whatever's on your mind.
David furrowed his brow, wondering that was on his mind
David: Um, I wuz just thinkin' about how cool it would be if we all got tied together and got into a huge fist fight and…
His voice was getting louder and louder until Sophie signaled for him to stop
Sophie: No David, that's not gonna work
He shrugged his shoulders
David: I tried my best…
Sophie shook her head
Sophie: I don't think you did David.
David: Then you don't know me, because that was my best
Sophie raised and eyebrow at him
Sophie: Well why don't you let me get to know you. Better yet, why don't you let your group get to know you.
They all sat there in silence for a little while, most of them shocked at what Sophie had just said
David looked at the ground
David: Maybe because I don't want them to
Sophie took in a deep breath and looked at each of them as she spoke
Sophie: Ok, here's the topic. I want you to give me one word that describes the person sitting on your left.
She waited for a smart remark, but got none. She nodded her head
Sophie: Ok guys…Scott, you start us. Describe Ezra in one word.
Scott furrowed his brow
Scott: That's sorta hard…
Sophie nodded her head
Sophie: Give it a shot
Scott: Um…I guess EZ is…weird
Sophie nodded her head
Sophie: Now explain why he's weird
Scott rubbed a hand through his hair, noticing the curios look Ezra was giving him
Scott: I don't know, he just is… I mean, he's a good friend and stuff, and in is own little weird way, he tells it like it is.
Sophie nodded her head
Sophie: Ok Scott, good job. Ezra
Ezra looked at Laura who was sitting a foot away from him
Ezra: Um…she's quiet.
Sophie shrugged her shoulders
Sophie: Explain to us why she's quiet Ezra
Ezra furrowed his brow and gave a 'weird' smile
Ezra: I guess because she doesn't talk…
Sophie smiled at him
Sophie: Well Ezra, have you ever tried to talk with Laura
Ezra: Hmm…I guess not, too much
Sophie nodded her head and shrugged her shoulders
Sophie: Maybe you could try it sometime
Ezra nodded his head and gave Laura a small smile
Sophie: Ok, Laura, you're next. Describe David
Laura bit her bottom lip and looked at her shoes
Laura: Different
Sophie: How is he different
Laura: I don't know, I've never met anyone like him before
Shelby: *sarcastically* That's a miracle in itself
Sophie looked over Shelby with that "no nonsense" look
Shelby smirked at her
Shelby: It was too good to pass up.
Sophie rolled her eyes and focused her attention back to Laura
Sophie: Ok, Laura that was very good. David, your turn
David looked up and sighed
David: Eric is…unusual…
Sophie held her breath, hoping a fight wouldn't break out
Sophie: Why do you say this, David?
He shrugged his shoulders
David: I don't know…because he is.
Sophie sighed and looked at David
Sophie: David, I want a one hundred word essay by dinner that describes you.
David rolled his eyes but didn't say anything
Sophie: Ok Eric, it's your turn
Eric clinched his fists. He didn't like being singled out…
Eric: I don't know Daisy too well
Sophie shrugged her shoulders
Sophie: Well tell us what you think anyway
Daisy: *dryly* This should be interesting…
Eric looked at his hands
Eric: Dark, I think she's dark
Sophie shrugged her shoulders
Sophie: Why do you think that…
Eric: Um, well, she's always talking about weird stuff, and she has a weird…, she looks at things differently. So I say she's dark…
Sophie nodded her head
Sophie: Ok, good job Eric
Sophie turned to Daisy
Sophie: Daisy, I want a one hundred word essay by dinner telling me about your soul.
Daisy rolled her eyes
Sophie: Ok, it's your turn. Describe Juliete
Daisy smirked and raised and eyebrow
Daisy: Fake. She is a fake because she is always acting happy and preppy, but deep down she is in pain and tortured.
Daisy smirked at Juliete as she looked at the ground.
Sophie: Why do you say that, Daisy?
Daisy rolled her eyes
Daisy: I had the guts to say what everyone thinks. Ask them
Daisy stared Sophie in the eyes, which made Sophie nervous because this wasn't the Daisy she knew
Sophie: Ok, Juliete, your turn, describe Auggie
Juliete perked up a bit
Juliete: Sweet
Auggie played around with his fingers, embarrassed of what she said
David: *sarcastically* Awwww, how touching
Auggie: Yo man, shut it up
David rolled his eyes
David: Your all talk
Auggie stood up and pointed a finger towards David
Auggie: I'll show you who's all talk
David sighed and looked up at the sky
David: Please. You couldn't beat up a Barbie doll.
Auggie lunged at David, only to be held back by Scott
Scott: Cool it muchacho, he ain't worth it
Sophie: Auggie, sit down now.
Auggie eventually sat down as David sneered at him. Sophie then turned her attention to David
Sophie: And you mister, let's add another hundred words to that essay of yours.
David rolled his eyes and folded his arms
David: Whatever
Sophie took in a deep breath and turned back to Juliete
Sophie: Ok Juliete, continue
Juliete had a worried look on her face, but she did her best to hide it with a smile
Juliete: He's sweet because he just is.
Juliete shrugged her shoulders and laid her head on Auggie's shoulder
Sophie sighed and turned to Auggie
Sophie: Ok Auggie, describe Jacky
Auggie: She's cool.
Sophie nodded her head and smiled at him, motioning for him to continue
Auggie: She's just cool-all there is to it.
Sophie nodded her head
Sophie: Jacky, describe Shelby
Jacky looked over at Shelby, she hadn't really talked a lot with Shelby
Jacky: Um…from what I can tell she's…twofaced
Jacky shrugged her shoulders, not sure if that was even a word
Sophie: Continue on…
Jacky sighed, hoping Shelby wouldn't get too mad with her
"I don't feel like fighting right now," she thought to herself.
Jacky: She acts tough and stuff, but from what I can tell, when she's with Scott, she's nice.
Sophie looked over at Shelby who rolled her eyes. Sophie sighed, glad they were at the end
Sophie: Ok Shelby, describe Scott
Shelby smiled, deep down not knowing what to say
Shelby: Complex
Sophie furrowed her brow
Sophie: Why do you say that?
Scott looked at her curiously, wanting to know himself
Shelby: He's not normal…
Shelby sighed
Shelby: Just trust me
Sophie gave Shelby a small smile, before focusing her attention on everyone
Sophie: Ok guys, was that all the bed
Everyone: YES
Sophie rolled her eyes
Sophie: Well you survived
Daisy: *dryly* For the moment anyway…
Sophie ignored the comment, making a mental note to talk with Daisy about her attitude.
Sophie: OK. Late breakfast, and then back to the gazebo where everyone will have school. Tonight you all will sleep in the lodge, so back up your stuff. There will be group in the lodge…
They all moaned and began to stand up
Sophie: And maybe some games Peter and I were going to use for "fun day"
Juliete squealed as the others continued their groaning
Sophie: Ok, be back here in half an hour
Sophie walked back towards Peter's office as all the Cliffhangers headed towards the cafeteria…
Scott jogged up to Shelby and grabbed her by the arm
Shelby: What's the rush, cowboy?
He rolled his eyes and smiled at her
Shelby: Whatcha want?
He released her arm and ran a hand through his hair
Scott: Complex?
Shelby gave an embarrassed smile
Shelby: I'm not to good in vocabulary, and that word just sorta popped into my head
He sighed and smiled at her
Shelby: Of course…
Scott furrowed his brow
Shelby: I wasn't totally wrong. You are hard to figure out sometimes
Scott rolled his eyes and leaned in for a kiss. He slowly pulled away…
Shelby smirked at him
Shelby: That's why I love you though
He took her by the hand and they followed everyone else to the cafeteria…
Ezra picked up his pace, trying to keep up with Daisy who kept pulling away from him. He finally got in step with her and continued walking just as fast as she was…
Ezra: Daisy, I know you're really pissed off right now at your dad and stuff, but could you at least talk with me. I mean, before the summer we were really good friends, and now you won't have anything to do with me. I might understand, I have been through a lot myself you know…
Daisy turned around and rolled her eyes at him
Daisy: *dryly* I don't want to bear my soul to you Ezra
She stomped off…
Ezra rolled his eyes and stood there watching after her
Ezra: Women…
