Moans and unenthusiastic sounds filled the air.
"I will be assigning partners. That person is who you stick with and help throughout this," the older blonde woman explained. "We have Ezra and Jule, Daisy and Kat, Auggie and Shelby, and Scott and Hailey."
"Aren't we going as a whole group?" Ezra asked, puzzled why we had groups.
"I will be handling Daisy and Kat, Peter is with Ezra and Jules, Roger is with Auggie and Shelby, and Jeff is with Scott and Hailey."
"So we gotta do this on our own don't we? And you're just there to supervise?" Auggie inquired, knowing what the answer was.
"Yes sir. Tell him what he's won Johnny," Sophie pretended to be a game show host.
"A couple hours in the forest, getting dirty," Peter played along with Sophie as he approached the group.
"Not more dirt!" Juliette whined.
Shelby's head snapped in her direction. "Quit it Queenie. No body wants to her your sob story." Shelby had been jealous that Scott hooked up with Juliette. Even more so at the fact that it was his third day single and she couldn't spend any time with him. Hailey would be getting his full attention.
Juliette didn't feel like wasting any more time arguing with Shelby. It was starting to become an old habit. Besides she wasn't going out with Scott anymore there really wasn't anything to make her jealous or angry about.
"Knock it off you two," Peter warned. "Now get with your partners and gather your things together because we leave at 11."
Everyone got up and proceeded to leave the cabin.
"Scott," Peter said. Scott turned to look at him. "Make sure you help Hailey. I chose you to be her partner because you know a lot of what to do."
"I will," he retorted, and he left to follow the others.
All the cliffhangers left to go gear up. Within a half an hour all the groups were ready to be on their way. All eight of them were outside by the picnic tables talking while waiting for the counselors to arrive. Scott sat across from Hailey and was explaining some things to her. This enraged Shelby; she nonchalantly walked to their table and stopped in front of them.
"Oh look. What do we got here?" Shelby asked, more to herself then either of them. "Homecoming Princess and the quarter back," she teased.
"Shelby you don't know anything," was all Scott said back to her.
'Not even a reaction from him,' she thought to herself. 'I'll have to change that.'
"OK listen up Barbie...I may still call you Barbie right?" Hailey shot at Shelby. Silence. "Ok good. Now leave me alone. It's as simple as that. You pretend I'm not here and we'll get along."
Shelby brought her head closer to Hailey, so Peter would not here her. "You do not know who you are messing with little girl," Shelby hissed, her words dripping with venom. "I let the first time slide since you're new, this time because Peter's around, but three strikes and your out. Don't make me mess up your pretty lil face now," she turned and walked away. Leaving everyone in close vicinity stunned, and Hailey a little frightened.
'I have to live with her,' Hailey silently thought to herself.
