Quote: What's in a name?
Shelby stared at Scott, not sure what to do.
Daisy: *dryly* This could be interesting
Ezra: It could get nasty
Shelby nervously stood up and walked through everyone else. She broke into a small jog and headed into the kitchen.
Scott nervously ran a hand through his hair, not knowing what to do
Daisy: *dryly* Well…
Scott stood up and went in the same direction Shelby had gone.
Once in the kitchen, Scott noticed Shelby sitting over in a corner with her knees pulled up to her chest. He slowly walked over to her, and once she saw him, she quickly jumped up and began to walk away from him. He chased after her and grabbed her by the arm, and she quickly pulled away
Shelby: Leave me alone
Scott rubbed a hand through his hair and took in a deep breath
Scott: No.
Shelby turned and gave him a confused look
Scott: Not until you talk to me.
Shelby rolled her eyes and again began walking away. Scott followed her and grabbed her by the shoulder. He spun her around so they were facing again
Shelby: WHAT, do you want?
Scott: I, I just wanta talk to you.
Shelby rolled her eyes and leaned all her weight on one foot. She then gave him an evil smirk
Shelby: Geez sorry, I'm not in the talking mood. Ya see, when you left, I had expected it to be for football, but well…I just don't have anything booked in my schedule to talk to some star who is now way out of my league.
He rubbed a hand through his hair
Scott: Wh- what? Out of your league? Come on Shelby. I COULDN'T tell you, I didn't have a choice.
Scott was now raising his voice and talking in a thick accent
Scott: I-IF I could, I woulda told ya
Shelby rolled her eyes and again began to walk away-Scot followed
Shelby could sense Scott following her so she quickly turned around to face him
Shelby: Stop stalking me!
A smile crossed Scott's face as his mind wondered back to a night similar to this one. It was only a few years ago, and that had been the night he had opened up to Shelby and told her everything. He took in a deep breath and smiled at her playfully, his eyes full of hope and excitement
Scott: I only stalk the best
Shelby tried to hold in a smile. That was exactly what she had told Scott that night they had gotten together. The night he had trusted he with his deepest darkest secret... She quickly snapped back to reality and rolled her eyes at him
Shelby: Nice try
She walked off, and this time Scott didn't follow
Scott: I'll give her some time.
*Not too long though* he thought to himself
Auggie stared at Juliete from across the room. She was laughing with Ezra and Kat. Auggie couldn't help but smile to himself. When Juliete smiled, he smiled, *and that's how it should be* he thought to himself. He fooled around with the back of his boots, thinking hard of something special he could do for Juliete.
*I owe her somethin' special* Auggie argued with himself. *And that's what she's gonna get*
Daisy walked into the classroom. She noticed Shelby sitting at one of the tables, and walked over to her. She quietly pulled out a chair and sat across from Shelby…
After sitting their in silence for about ten minutes Daisy looked up from the table she was staring at and turned her attention towards her friend
Daisy: *dryly* So…
Shelby looked at her and raised her eyebrows
Shelby: *sarcastically* So…
Daisy: *dryly* Want to share your deep, dark secrets and fears?
Shelby smirked at her friend
Shelby: Uh…no.
Daisy rolled her eyes and looked away
Daisy: You know you have to tell someone…
Shelby cut into Daisy's sentence
Shelby: *sarcastically* Or it will eat you up inside. Yeah, I know
Daisy looked back at Shelby and raised her eyebrows
Daisy: Or you will end up spilling it all to Scott.
Shelby gave a little annoyed look, but she knew Daisy was right
Daisy gave Shelby a little questioning look
Daisy: So…
Shelby put her arms on the table, and then laid her head on her arms
Shelby: I don't feel like talking
Daisy shrugged her shoulders and looked up at the ceiling
Daisy: Fine, be stubborn
Shelby: Ok
After a few more minutes of silence, Shelby let out a loud sigh and Daisy smirked at her
Daisy: *sarcastically* I was hoping you would breath sooner or later
Shelby gave her a little smirk but then her expression turned to a serious one
Shelby: I'm scared
Daisy: Well that's normal
Shelby: I'm not supposed to get scared.
Daisy raised her eyebrows at Shelby
Daisy: Why, because you're Shelby Merrick and you have a reputation to protect?
Shelby gave a little "that's unfair" look
Daisy: That part of Shelby Merrick was put away I thought.
Shelby rubbed a hand over the top of her head
Shelby: I don't know what to think anymore
Daisy: *dryly* Don't think then
Shelby gave her friend a confused look
Shelby: You've lost it Daisy
Daisy: *sarcastically* Did I ever have it?
Shelby gave her friend a smirk
Daisy: Don't think, and just go with your feelings
Shelby looked around the room and then focused her attention on the floor
Shelby: Wh-What if it is telling me to talk to him?
Daisy raised her eyebrows
Daisy: *dryly* I wouldn't go against it
Shelby: *sarcastically* and what exactly is…it?
Daisy thought for a moment and smirked dryly at Daisy
Daisy: *dryly* It is whatever it wants to be
Shelby furrowed her brow
Shelby: Ok, that makes a whole lotta sense
Daisy: It's not supposed to make sense Shelby, you are just supposed to go with it.
Shelby put her forehead down on the table and gave a moan
Shelby: Why…does…this…have…to…be…so…CONFUSING!
Daisy rolled her eyes again
Daisy: Like I said, it isn't supposed to make sense
Shelby: Then WHY do it?
Daisy shrugged her shoulders
Daisy: Because
Shelby: Because why?
Daisy: Don't be so difficult about it. Either you go with what you are feeling, or you don't and feel miserable. Those are your choices, and they are yours to make.
After a moment Shelby raised her head up off the table and let out a sigh
Shelby: How do you always think of these things?
Daisy smiled at her
Daisy: It's a gift
Shelby rolled her eyes and smiled at her friend
Shelby: Yeah, well don't let it get to your head
Daisy stood up to leave the room and gave her a dry smile
Daisy: *dryly* It already has
Shelby rolled her eyes as Daisy walked out of the room
After about five minutes Shelby looked around the room. She let out an exhausted sigh and stood up to leave. She walked out of the classroom and ran straight into someone
Shelby: Son of a…
Shelby put her hair behind her ears and looked up to see Scott standing there
Scott: Sorry, didn't mean to run into ya
I don't know where we stand anymore
You've got one foot in my life
And the other's out the door
And I can't believe this is happening to me
Shelby looked at Scott and gave him a shy smile.
Shelby: Um, that's ok.
Deep inside I've wanted to believe
That somehow, maybe someday
There'd be some one there for me
And I hope I haven't lost my chance
Scott nodded his head embarrassed
Scott: Nah, it was my bad.
Shelby nodded at him and began to walk away
I don't want to wake up to reality
Of you not being here with me
There's so many possibilities
That we let slip away
And if you're heart could speak
What would it say
Scott: You wanta talk?
You're scared to say you love me, I'm Scared
Will you always stay
You don't have to run away
Shelby furrowed her brow not sure what to do. She looked up at Scott and saw his pleading eyes
I wish I could believe in what I feel
I've been fooled so many times before
I don't know what is real
Maybe I'm just fooling myself
Shelby: Scott, I don't know…
Scott: Come on Shelby, just a few minutes.
I've been running out of reasons to let go
Tried opening up my feelings
But your door is always closed
And I find myself dreaming my life away
Shelby looked up and down the hall with a confused look on her face
You don't have to worry
Cause I'm running out of reason to say no
Shelby nodded her head
Shelby: Ok
