CHAPTER 1
It's the evening and it's time for the group discussion. Peter asks as always if someone has something to say to somebody but nobody does. Scott and Shelby are looking at each other and are holding their hand together. They're all sitting in the living room. Sophie is making some coffee for her and Peter in the kitchen. She then joins the group.
Peter : So nobody has anything to say ?
Daisy : I do.
P : I'm all ears.
D : I'm tired !
P : Okay.
Scott and Shelby are physically here but not mentally. They're elsewhere, in their own world. The rest of the group is looking at them, so are Peter and Sophie.
P : Scott, Shelby ?
Auggie gives them a little punch with his elbow. They shook their head.
Sc : Yep, what ?
P : What were you thinking about ?
Sc : Nothing !
Scott would never dare tell him. He knows that Shelby's thinking about the same thing as he does. The night they spent together last month. They mixed their bodies. It was great, so agreeable. It was the first time they did it together. Where was Peter ? Asleep. Whendid it happen ? In the reserve from the kitchen at 2:10 at night. Everyone was sleeping and they had thererendez vous. A secret one, very exciting especially for young lovers. They promised an eternal love. It was the most beautiful night of their life. It was wonderful, perfect. Everything was perfect. They never spoke about that to anybody, it's their little secret. Nobody has to know !
D : What do you think ? Their minds were elsewhere. In their world of love.
S : So what ? If Scott and I are happy in this world why do you care ? It's not anyof your business !
P : We're happy to see you both happy that way !
Sc : Oh yeah ? Well it's not obvious !
S : Scott, stop it.
Sc : Alright, I'm sorry. I'm a little bit on the defensive today I guess.
P : Why ?
Sc : Don't know. I think I'm tired of all the activities we had today.
Ezra takes a look at the others who are thinking like them. Juliet and Auggie sigh.
A : That's the same for everybody, we all are tired.
E : Yup !
P : Alright, we'll do less things tomorrow, I promise.
Peter asks for the last time if someone has something to say, to share with the others but no. Thus he proposes to watch a movie before going to bed.
P : Are you tempted by Romeo and Juliet ?
J : Oh yeah !
E : Yup, why not !
A : It's a movie for girls !
J : Eh, you … !
A : That's the truth, that movie for girls !
P : And if I tell you I love that movie ?
A : Okay, maybe it's not that bad, let's watch it.
« We can take girls in our arms» think the guys smiling.
Peter puts the tape in the vcr and they watch the movie.
Scott and Shelby whisper discreetly during the film. They don't see Juliet listening to them. She can hear some things but not the entire conversation, just some words in the sentences.
Sc : You remember that night we had last month ?
S : Oh yeah. That was the most wonderful night of my life.
Sc : It was for me as well.
S : It was magic. You think we could do it again…
Sc : Hope so ! One month is long enough, too long.
He caresses her hair and kisses her. Peter and Sophie notice this but not the others who are really into the movie but Juliet as concentrated on Shelby and Scott and not on the movie. Peter put the movie on pause while Shelby and Scott keep on kissing. Everyone's looking at them.
P : Guys, you're not interested in the movie ?
Sc : Huh, yes…
S : Yes I love it.
P :This not the right time for hugs…
Sc : Look at the others… Everyone is in each others arms !
P : Maybe, but not the way you two are…
So : Peter I think they got it ?
Sc : Yes Sophie we understand, and we're going to concentrate on the movie.
P : I'll be keeping an eye on you !
Sc : Yeah if that amuses you !
D : Can we watch the end of the movie Peter ?
P : Yes.
Scott and Shelby keep on whispering and talking about that magic night of love. The first one together. They had the feeling of being clear of every bad thing they did, to be proper again. They knew they're the only one who can understand that. The others didn't go through the same kind of situations as they did with a person from the opposite sex. Scott and Shelby can understand the other. The others didn't know what it's like to go through the bad situations they went through.
Sc : You remember what I told you that night ?
S : Yes, you said you love me for the first time and I said that to you as well.
Girls are crying a bit at the end of the movie and they're still in the boys' arms. Scott and Shelby, Auggie and Juliet, Ezra and Daisy. Peter and Sophie are seated next to each other on another sofa
P : Well, it's time to go to bed now.
They all go to their dormitory except for Scott and Shelby who stay a bit outside. In the girls' dormitory Juliet tells Daisy about what she heard of Shelby and Scott's conversation.
J : They made love last month, for the first time together…
D : You're kidding me, you're not serious ?
J : It's true !
D : I knew this was going to happen…
J : They whispered during almost the entire movie and I was just next to them.
D : You're sure you understood well ?
J : Maybe I didn't understand all the words but I'm sure of what I heard.
D : Wow, that's great.
J : Yeah that is but generally between friends we tell that stuff and she didn't tell us !
D : That's right but maybe she feared someone would tell that to Peter or Sophie and they couldn't see each other anymore…
J : Yep, I guess you're right. Where's Shelby ?
D : I saw her staying outside with Scott.
Shelby and Scott walk together to the dormitories and stopped a bit to kiss and bein their arms. To feel loved.
Sc : Shelby, I love you, you know that ?
S : Yes I know that and I love you, too.
Sc : Do you think we could … ?
S : Not here.
Sc : Do you know a place ?
At that time Daisy opened the door and saw them kissing.
D : Lovers are you coming now ? You must sleep, it's time. Shelby you're coming ?
S : Yeah I'm coming.
Daisy closed the door and Shelby turns back to Scott.
S : Not tonight but we'll find a place for another night, ok ?
Sc : Yes, I'm in a hurry to finding a place !
They both go to their dormitory. Shelby goes to the bathroom… "Oh no! That's not true…" she thinks.

I stopped around chapter 21 last time and I had 71 reviews. Just so you know.
I wrote the first chapters in the present tense but the others will be in the past tense cause it's better.
