Scott's Past Arrives at Horizon Part III
It hadn't taken Sophie long to take Peter's place in getting Samia settled. She was friendly enough…but she also had a seductive air…Sophie was eager to see her file.
"Have you used today?" Sophie asked as she dug through Samia's bag. She was shocked that a seventeen-year-old girl could own that much lingerie.
"Yeah," Samia nodded, undaunted. " I used a little white pill this morning. And I smoked a cigarette or two." Her openness on the subject was new to Sophie. Not the first surprise…
"What kind of pill? Do you know the name?" Sophie found the answer in her bag before Samia could speak.
Samia smirked, "The birth-control kind."
Sophie sighed, "You won't need these here. No sex allowed. Peter told you the rules, right?"
"Yeah, whatever." We'll see about that.
"You've been assigned to our Cliffhangers group. That means I'll be your counselor. And I'm here to talk if you need me." Sophie took a long look at Samia. Why was she here? The words spilled out before she could stop them.
"Why are you here?"
Samia remained expressionless. "Because my mother lives like a nun…and I don't. I'm a little too much fun for her."
Back in the girl's dorm…
"I mean, who does she THINK SHE IS??!!" Shelby's voice rose as she became more excited. "YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THIS TOP!!"
"Maybe she didn't have time to change," opted Juliette.
Shelby rolled her eyes. "Yeah right, Queenie. They drug her out of the house in her underwear!"
Daisy smirked. "Why do you care what she wears anyway? Don't you trust Scott enough to know that he wouldn't stray?"
Shelby bit her lip. "If it had been any other look, I wouldn't doubt his loyalty. But…if you could have seen him…he looked at her… almost like…"
"Almost like what?" Juliette's interest was sparked.
Shelby's voice got quiet. "Like he loved her…"

Samia got examined by the doctor while Sophie and Peter talked in his office.
"Peter, I think I should take her shopping."
"Why?" Peter asked, although he already suspected the answer.
""Because none of her shirts—if you could even call them that—meet dress code regulation. I lent her one of mine for today."
Pete thought for a moment. "No, I don't want any of the other girls to think she's getting special treatment. Find out her sizes and send someone into town. I'll call Mrs. Tishay and discuss the bill." Sophie nodded.
Samia had changed into Sophie's shirt and a tight pair of Levi's. Sophie sighed. Well, at least it's an improvement.
"Come on. I'll show you your dorm."
