Figures in the Night Part9
Daisy turns around to see Shelby. "Uh, hi!" She says nervously.
Shelby walks to the window. "Hi! My name is Shelby, and your name would be?" She lets out her hand. "And why are you in a window?"
The person smiles at her, but doesn't say anything.
"Uh, Shel, what are you doing here?" Daisy asks shutting the curtain.
"Why did you do that?" Shelby opens the curtain, but no one was there. "Who was that?"
"No one." Daisy starts to walk out of the room.
"Hold it!" Shelby grabs her arm to keep her from leaving. "You're not going anywhere till you tell me who that was."
"What are you my counselor now?" She looks at Shelby. "It's no one, let's go." Daisy stands up.
"Ya know, you can tell me, I'm not gonna rat on you." Shelby doesn't understand why Daisy doesn't want to talk to her. "Sit down, please?"
"You wouldn't understand." Daisy tells her.
"You're talking to Shelby here, c'mon!"
Daisy lets out a little laugh. "I don't know where to begin."
"Well, you can begin by telling me his name!" Shelby says excited.
Daisy hesitates not knowing whether or not to tell her. "Ok," She decides. "His name is..."
"Girls! We've been waiting for you!" Sophie walks in. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Daisy gets up and walks out happy that she was interrupted. Shelby sighs.
"What was that all about?" Sophie looks back at Shelby.
"Your guess is as good as mine."

Daisy walks into the main lodge with Shelby and Sophie trailing behind her.
"There you are." Peter says.
Ezra looks at Daisy from a far thinking how beautiful she looks. Then he looks at David form the other side of the room and glares at him. "It's all your fault we're on shuns!" Ezra sneers at David to himself.
David sees Ezra glaring at him and decides to give him a friendly wave to make him mad.
Ezra looks away. "I hate it when he does that!"
Sophie sits down next to Peter and Shelby snuggles back into Scott's arms.
"Ok, now, is everyone here?" He looks around.
They discussed what they were going to do on a quest in a couple of days.
Jules seems interested as always and Scott and Shelby look bored. Shelby drifts off not listening. "Why won't she talk to me?" She asks herself. She looks at Daisy and she knows she has to say something to her to make her talk.
"This is an important quest." Continues Peter, "So, David and Ezra," He says looking at them, "You guys will be taken off shuns for this."
"Yeah!" David yells. He gives Daisy a big smile.
"Until-the quest is over." Peter finishes.
David sinks back in his seat pouting.

"Is there something wrong Shel?" Scott asks her at dinner.
"No, why would there be something wrong?"
"I dunno, you seem different, distant." Scott says.
"Well, there's nothing to worry about." Shelby says giving him a kiss. "I'm fine." She didn't know she was acting different, she was just worried about Daisy.

"Ok, Daisy, we're back in the dorms now, so can you finish what you were going to tell me before Sophie came in?" Shelby bugs her.
"Which would be?" Daisy tries to look confused.
"You know perfectly well what I mean."
Daisy sighs. "You know, it's not worth telling."
"We have ears too, Daisy, tell us!" Juliette squeals wanting to know what Shelby and Daisy are arguing about.
"Who are you trying to find out about anyway?" Kat asks.
Shelby ignores them too excited to listen to their questions. "Well?" She asks curious.
"Ok, ok." Daisy begins. She pauses for a moment. "His name is Hunter."
Daisy turns around to see Shelby. "Uh, hi!" She says nervously.
Shelby walks to the window. "Hi! My name is Shelby, and your name would be?" She lets out her hand. "And why are you in a window?"
The person smiles at her, but doesn't say anything.
