Shelby sat on the front of her boyfriend's car in front of her new high
school. Neal, her boyfriend, who was smoking a cigarette and looking
disenchanted with his life- was sitting next to her. She hated the way things
were. She used to be popular and pretty, now all she was- was some
alternative band's roadie. Well, she was even less than that. She was used....
Scott was walking to class when he saw her. She was sitting on the front of a
beat up pinto with her hair in a mess around her face. She was pretty, but
she hung out with the wrong crowd, the skanks and the druggies. Not that the
druggies were bad- in fact they supplied him with plenty of his daily excuses
from her....
Shelby looked like she had seen a ghost. Well, if that's what you could call
it she thought. He was almost like a dechavue. Like she was meant to see him.
He was wearing a football jersey and looked to have just gotten out of
practice. His blonde curls stuck to his forehead…
Shelby: Neal who's that?
Neal gave a little sneer
Neal: Mr. Hotshot himself Scott Barringer. Why?
Shelby: No reason. I was just wonderin'. Well do you have a smoke or are you
just gonna make me watch you?
Neal handed her a bud. She leaned over and let him light it.
Scott couldn't believe that he actually thought that he knew her. "Oh
well-what's the point," he thought to himself.
A girl walked up next to him and grabbed his hand as if to stake her claim.
Her green eyes flashed at the girl on the car. She had been watching her
boyfriend stared at the girl. She was sick of always having to protect her
guy from 'those' girls.
Scott: Ven, let up okay?
Venessa couldn't believe him. One minute he was all over her and the next he
was so cold.
Shelby stared at the girl and thought that she was jealous. Shelby knew the
routine. It was you're threatening my turf so get it good that he's mine.
Shelby didn't really care it wasn't like she was one of those girls who got
obsessive or anything.
Neal: Shelby we got a gig for some jock party. Wanna come?
Shelby shrugged her shoulders
Shelby: *dryly* Why not…
Neal smiled at her
Neal: See you there.
He kissed her on the cheek and got in his car. She took the hint and walked
to her mother's car that sat near the curb.
*****************************************
At the party it's smoky and the room smells of beer and old burnt cigarettes
filled the air. Shelby walked in. She was wearing cords and a tube top that
showed her stomach. Her hair was down and falling over her face.
Scott stood in the middle of the party with Vennessa around his arm and a
beer in his other hand. He saw her walk in. She was given a cigarette and a
beer at the door. She looked casual, and like a girl that he should have been
disgusted by, but he wasn't. The music started to play as she looked at him
and he waved, and in return she just curtly smiled and walked away.
This is gonna sound
[Scott drank some of his beer and smiled at a joke someone had said]
a little obsessive
[Neal had his arm around Shelby's shoulders and was whispering in her ear]
[This is gonna sound]
[Scott led Vennessa out of the room]
a little bit strange
[Scott stared back at her one more time before closing the door]
I have one thing to say
[Shelby nodded at Neal and the 2 left the party]
Before I turn and walk away
[in a room: Scott and Vennessa lay on the bed and she holds his hand as she
kisses him hard and long]
This is gonna sound
[Scott moves and leaves the room]
[a little impulsive]
[Neal pulls off the side of the highway and pulls Shelby close]
This is gonna sound
[She moves away and tells him to take her home]
a little insane
[Shelby crawls in her bed and stares at the sky through her window]
I know you don't know me yet
[Scott got in his car]
but you and I
[A picture of the 2 appears on the screen]
Will be together
Because...because I love you
someday
someday
I know… I know… I sound
Like I'm on drugs
But listen to me now
When I say
That ever since when I first saw you
[Screen of Shelby seeing Scott at Horizon]
Sitting on your car outside
You asked for a cigarette
[Shelby with a cigarette in her mouth]
I couldn't stop staring at your eyes
Ever since when I first saw you
Looking bored in that plastic chair
[Shelby with Neal and looking at Scott]
With the lights of the office
Around you
[Vennessa looking jealous]
Those blonde streaks look so pretty
In your black hair
You look cool and alternative
With that disaffected stare
You want people to think
that you just don't care
Hey you can be with me
cause I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're a queen
Who will always make you come
You can be with me
I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your
unemployed boyfriend
This is gonna sound]
a little bit out there
Yeah this is gonna sound
a little insane
But I keep having the same dream
that you will be the mother of my children
someday
Someday...
I've head that you sleep with that obnoxious guy
I know he is in that famous band
You look so sad when you are with him
I never see him reach to hold your hand
You can be with me
Yes I will treat you like a queen
I will always go to those
chick flick movies
that I just don't wanna see
You can be with me
No I will never let you down
I will never make out with
your girlfriends
when I know you're not around
You can be with me
Yeah I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're special
I will always make you come
You can be with me
I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your
unemployed boyfriend

Shelby got off the bus and walked into school. She was still a little out of
it from the night before. She went to her locker and pulled her books out.
She turned around, getting a feeling someone was watching her. She noticed
Scott staring at her, but he quickly looked away when she looked at him.
Shelby noticed he had girls hanging all over him.
"Wonder what it's like to live like that," Shelby thought to herself.
She shook the thought of her mind and headed to class.
Shelby: I hate school.
Scott stared at Shelby as she walked to class. He couldn't put his finger on
it, but there was something about it that attracted him to her.
'Scottie'
Scott looked down to see Vanessa staring at him with a seductive smile on her
face.
Vanessa: Scottie
Scott flinched as she rubbed her hand across her face, and when she called
him Scottie.
Scott: What?
Vanessa: You want to ditch class and go have some fun?
Scott looked at her disgusted.
Scott: No, get off me.
Scott shrugged her off, and then headed to class.
"Just keep it cool," he thought to himself.
"You're papers will be due in a week, and I want no excuses."
The whole class groaned as Mr. Plansky gave them their assignment.
"Least it's my last class today," Scott thought to himself.
Mr. Plansky: However, there is one good thing about this.
"We can pay somebody to do it for us," Shelby thought to her self.
Mr. Plansky: You can do it with a partner.
Everyone in the class started getting out of their seats and moving to find
them selves a buddy.
Mr. Plansky: Everybody- freeze.
Everybody turned around to face their teacher.
Mr. Plansky: Who doesn't have a partner?
Shelby slowly raised her hand.
Everybody laughed at her. She just looked away.
Mr. Plansky: Anybody else.
Scott looked at Vanessa who was standing a few feet away from him smiling.
Scott: Yeah, I don't have a partner.
Vanessa: Ah
Vanessa gave a little disgusted look and plopped down into her seat. She put
on a scowl and folded her arms across her chest.
Mr. Plansky: Ok Mr. Barringer. You and Ms. Merrick here will be partners.
Scott slightly nodded his head and walked over to Shelby.
Mr. Plansky: That's it for today, see everyone tomorrow.
Everybody filed out of the room. Vanessa stomped up to Scott and gave him a
glare.
Vanessa: Why would you rather be with that skank than with me?
Scott gave her a little glare
Scott: She's not a skank, and I decided I would be a partner with someone who
at least had some common sense, and you didn't fit that character description.
Vanessa: Ah!
She smacked on her gum.
Vanessa: Well…
She slapped him in the face and walked out of the room.
Scott: Ouch!
Scott put his hand up to his face. He looked up to the sound of someone
laughing. He saw Shelby standing as the door smiling at him.
Shelby: Smart cowboy
He walked over to her and gave her a little smile
Scott: Yeah well…
Shelby: but thanks.
Scott gave her a little smile and nodded his head. He looked a little
embarrassed, he hadn't realized Shelby was watching him.
Scott: So, you any good at biology.
Shelby smiled at him
Shelby: Are you any good at dumping a girl.
Shelby nodded her head out the door at Vanessa who was still steamed about
Scott dumping her.
Scott: We're screwed.
Shelby gave him a little smirk and they both headed out the door.
'Shelby'
Scott and Shelby turned around to see Neal running after them.
Neal: Shelby, where are you going?
Shelby: I have a project and Scott is my partner. It's due soon, so we gotta
go work on it.
Neal: Doesn't pretty boy here have football practice?
Scott stepped forward towards Neal until their faces were just inches apart.
Scott: What'd you say.
Shelby stepped in between the two.
Shelby: Neal, I'll see you later ok.
Shelby grabbed Scott by the shirt and pulled him away.
Scott: I could've handled him.
When they were far enough away from him Shelby stopped and stared at him
Shelby: He's not worth your time.
Scott: I thought you liked him.
"If only you knew," Shelby thought to her self.
Shelby looked around, not wanting to look at Scott.
Shelby: Just forget about it ok. I'll be at your house in an hour.
Scott nodded his head and watched as Shelby walked off.
