Scott and Shelby Unlimited
Chapter 1
It was storming outside. Scott looked out the window of the Cliffhanger Boys Dorm, thinking of Shelby. That's all he did lately. Think of Shelby. The thing was....he never got tired of thinking of her. Every day he discovered new things about her that he didn't know before. He knew more about her than anybody else in the world. Even more than himself. But that was okay. There was always more stuff to discover about her. She was always surprising him. Giving him more things to love about her. And it worked both ways. She knew things about him that nobody else knew. Things no one else would EVER know. He loved that he could tell her anything and she would understand completely. There were no secrets between them. Well, maybe some. But nothing important enough to tell. He hoped it was the same for Shelby. If anything ever happened to her, he thought, he would shrivel up and die. She was there for him through everything and he would be eternally grateful for everything she had done for him. He couldn't help but feel guilty, though. When she had first revealed the truth about her past to him he had turned her away. He had been such a jerk. He was selfish, and all he had cared about was himself. But that was over now, and things had smoothed over between them, and he could get back to doing what he did best. Loving her.

Shelby got out of bed and began pacing the wooden floors. The sound of thunder had always frightened her, as did the sight of lightning, but she could never admit that to anyone. Since she had been here at Horizon she had put on a "tough girl" act. If she backed down on that one the group would only laugh at her. The only one she could truly be herself around was Scott. He would understand completely how she felt if she told him. The undulating rhythm of the rain beating the roof was beginning to make her nervous. She crept over to the window, careful not to wake any of the other girls. She didn't want to hear it from Juliette the next morning about her lost beauty sleep. And Juliette sure needed it. She chuckled at her own meanness and pulled back the curtains. She looked up into the sky at the clouds. Since she couldn't see stars, what was the point? She lowered her eyes and looked into the window of the Cliffhanger Boys Dorm right across from hers. Her eyes instantly locked with Scott's. He tilted his head and gave her a slight smile. She did the same. He lifted his hand to the glass, and pressed his palm to it. Shelby's heart flipped. Sometimes he could be so cute. She did the same. They stood there gazing at each other for a while, hands pressed to the glass. Suddenly he turned around and looked behind him. He turned back to her and motioned for her to go outside. She made a pained expression, but he persisted. She finally nodded her head. He disappeared from the window. She got dressed and prepared to meet Scott outside. They would have to be quiet about it or they'd both be on shuns for the next week.
