friendly! But involves a new character that we're pretty confidant you'll like. It revolves around Hannah Parkerson, but we will

Scott. That storyline is all too
familiar, we know you all know that is soooooo true. PLEASE REVIEW
The Strong Are Saying
Nothing
Chapter 1
"Where are you
from?" Peter asked 16 year old Hannah.
He leaned forward in the chair.
Her green eyes studied him intensely.
"Nowhere." She
said harshly
"Excuse me?"
Peter asked. He had never gotten that
answer before.
"I used to be
from somewhere. I'm not from anywhere
anymore." Her voice softened. That was
something he had heard one too many times.
"Well....you can
be from here from now on." He said. She
had already been checked and had already received the speech. "Have you had a chance to see the campus or
meet any of the Cliffhangers?"
"No." she
said. "This isn't one of those places
where they make a desperate attempt to make you normal, is it?"
"I don't think
you'll have a problem with that." Peter said
"Good. Can we get on with this?" she snapped
throwing her long wavy black hair over her shoulder. It cascaded down her back..
"Fine, lets go."
He said. He took her to the dorm and
then to the cafeteria. Scott and Shelby
had been caught after lights out again and had kitchens for a week. Shelby was serving next to Scott. She looked up and noticed that Ezra was 3
people down the line from her. She
never missed a good chance to bug him.
Hannah walked
into the cafeteria and stood watching the line. She didn't want to get in it, but she didn't want to stand
outside of it looking like an outsider.
A guy with brown hair called out to her. She looked at him
"You wanna cut?"
he repeated.
"Yeah. Why not."
She said. She grabbed a tray and stood
in front of him.
"Uh, I'm Ezra." He
said leaning forward and smelling her hair.
"How exciting
for you." She said. She thought he was
doing something so she turned around.
He moved away and smiled. She
rolled her eyes.
"Um, what's your
name?"
"I don't have a
name, my parents didn't believe in giving names. It's a long story, very tragic." She lied sarcastically.
O..k..." Ezra
said and decided not to talk to her.
She went through the line.
Two people
passed Shelby, she knew Ezra was up in line next. Without looking up she said "So Freakin, what'll it be? Dry
turkey or cold hot dogs. Personally I
would choose- - " she stopped when she looked up and saw a very familiar
face. "Why...Hannah Parkerson? What in
heaven's name are YOU doing here? Did the fashion club expel you for breaking a
nail? Or were you getting a little too hefty.
Gosh, you look like you're up to..dare I say 100? 105? I think - -"
"Shelby, stop."
Scott said. She looked at him. He was right. Shelby dropped two cold hot dogs on her tray.
"Move right
along little one" she said and began to serve the next person in line. Scott held an apple in one hand and an
orange in the other.
"Which one?" he
asked She gingerly took the apple. "Don't worry about Shelby." He said quietly. She nodded and went on to her seat. After Shelby had finished serving everyone
she went to go hang up her apron at the same time as Scott.
"Shelby," he
said. "Leave her alone. It's her first day, she looks like she's
been through a lot."
"Well thank you,
Captain Obvious. I'll get back to you."
She said and tried to leave. He grabbed
her wrist
"Really, Shelby."
She stopped trying to pull away and stood closer to him.
"If it'll make
you happy, I'll leave her alone." She said.
"It will." He said. "You know what else would make me happy? I
mean...since we're on the subject."
"What?"
"You meeting me
in your dorm in 15 minutes." He said. He shoved his hands in his pockets and
walked away, looking at her for a few seconds while he was walking. She leaned up against the wall.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************
"I don't know
what is up with these kids, Soph! I've
given Scott and Shelby kitchens 3 times in the past two weeks for being out
after lights out plus the other kids..."
"Peter it's
Spring." Sophie said
"Wow, thanks for
the revelation."
"All I'm saying
is that when Spring hits...hormones rage.
It's classic."
"And what do you
propose I do about it?"
"I think it's
time for you to refresh their little memories."
"You mean give
them the sex talk."
"You got it."
*******************************************************************************************************************************************
"Scott, quit."
Shelby said. She could say it but not
make him. She didn't really want to
either. He moved his hand out from
under her shirt and down to her waist.
"Why." He said. He didn't really mean it as a question to be
answered. He pulled her closer, urging
her to lean into him.
"No, Scott." She
repeated as he kissed her neck. He was
getting pretty daring with her. His
lips met hers. He moved his hands to
her bra. She pushed him away. "Scott, I said quit it. We shouldn't be doing this." She said, hugging
herself. He sulked. "Besides...we're gonna be late." She said
standing up "And we're already in deep with Peter."
"Since when did
you become so 'Holier than thou'" he asked.
She sat back down, but said nothing.
"I don't GET you. It's not like
you've never done this before."
"Excuse me
Scott, not with someone I LOVE." She said getting angry
"Yeah, well then
there shouldn't be a problem." He said.
"That's not
fair, You know that I love you."
"I do not. You told me ONCE. And you could barely get it out then. You know what never mind, what a waste of time." He said grabbing
his jacket.
"Scott, don't be
mad." She said. What he had said was
true. He stopped. He moved closer to her and put an arm around
her.
"I'm not...I'm frustrated. I just think we're old enough."
"I'm scared."
"Of me?"
"No."
"What then?"
"I don't know." She
said. "It's not that I don't want to." She
said. He turned his head " I do! I just....like what we have right
now. I don't want something like sex to
get in the way, and I dont want to be looking back on our relationship with
regret because of one mistake we made."
Scott thought
for a minute. "Comprende." He said. "Tell me about it on the way to class."
