Chapter 4

Beauty and Seduction are the most deadly

delusion of all ~Unknown

Int. TheMain Cabin- Group-Night

"So"said Peter"you've all met Kindle right?"

"Yeah"the said in unison.

"Well"Peter bagan"Sophie had to be some where tonight and I have a few

things to do so you guys are free to go to dinner early. Later." he rose and

left the kids to chatter away.

Ez looked to the cieling. "Thank god." He smiled playfully.

"I for one am glad"Auggie said.

He gave a fond look at Juliette who was explaining what group was to

Kindle. "Oh big bummer there"he heard Kindle murmur. She was a

hottie, but she wasn't Juliette.

Shelby stood and walked out the door. She decided she'd take a walk. It

wasn't everyday that you didn't have group. She walked into the center of

the yard where the carved totempole of the

mother bear stood. She heard a faint sigh behind her. Turning she saw

Scott.

"What are doing?"he asked walking up behind her and hugging her

around the waist.

"What do you think?"she replied.

He didn't want to let go but did.

"Shelby why were you kissing some guy?"he asked.

"Were you spying on me?"she stepped away.

"Of course not. I was on my way to class. And I saw some guy along with

my girlfriend, kissing. So I wonder was I wrong to look."Scott sounded

angrily thinking about some guys lips on Shelby.

"I guess you were in your right but I didn't mean for it to happen. Quinn

just-"she said as Scott stomped away.

He didn't want to hear her sad story. He couldn't think straight.

********************************************************************************

Int.The Boys Dorm-Night (scene switches to cafeteria)

*She kissed Quinn Rappaport. Hes the only Quinn here. Oh you just wait till I

find him.Quinn kissed my girlfriend. Mine. *Scott thoughts flooded through

his mind. He rushed into the cafeteria to see the Wind Dancers lining up

to get the slop they called dinner.

Scott walked straight up to Quinn.

Quinn turned and saw Scott. Saw the scowl he wearing. "Hey Scott" he

says quietly.

"You stay away from Shelby got it?"Scott turns away.

"I don't think you quite get it. Your hurting her."

"So you thought you could kiss her and the pain would go away."

"No I didn't. I kissed her because it was a spark between us."Quinn

smiled.

"Really. Well Shelbys' my girl friend. You stay the hell away from her."

"Or what?"Quinn muttured as Scott turned away. Scott whirled on his heels.

"Or this."He punches Quinn in the gut quickly. He falls back and Scott begins to kick him.

All over. Auggie rushes over and pulls Scott off Quinn.

"Yo meat. Calm down. Its over. Finnished."

********************************************************************************

Back At the Docks-

"You think I have to take this well your wrong and sadly mistaken"Kindle stepped

forward.

"What are you gonna do. Call the fashion polce on me."

"You two quit it. Peter will be here in any second"Juliette tried to calm the situation down.

"Queenie you stay out of this"Shelby shouted.

"Oh you skank. I don't want to be here. Or any where near you. I like Scott and he likes

me. And I don't care what any of you think. So there."Kindle pushed Shelby into the water.

Shelby

gave a yell and Peter heard.

He rushed down the hill, with Scott behind him,in time to see Kindle push Shelby into the

Hoizen lake.

********************************************************************************

Five minutes after they'd fished Shelby out of the lake Scott had had a good laugh. It was

funny to the group but not to Shelby.

"What happened?"Peter asked.

"Well I didn't just fall into the water"Shelby sarcasticly said as she stood there freezing.

"Yeah I guess cats really don't like water. Peter I pushed her. Sorry."Kindle faced up

ready to deal with Peter's wrath.

"What is it with you kids. Fighting solves nothing. So Kindle your on kitchen duty with

Scott. Got it. Now lets get on with the assignment."

Peter's voice droned. Shelby didn't even bother to listen. She had to focus on his last

words."So Kindle your on kitchen duty with Scott!" Shelby heard his words echo in her mind.

Scott was her boyfriend not Kindle's and that was all she had to think about. Scott. And

she knew Scott.

He liked anything that flirted with him just about.

********************************************************************************

Lunch-Evening

Kindle walked into the kitchen. One thing on her mind. Getting through with the dishes.

How hard could kitches be. She saw Scott putting on his apron prepairing to serve lunch to

the other kids. She walked over. It was a stroke of luck to get kitchens.

"Hi Cow boy!"she reached for an apron. "Looks like we'll be serving time together."

"Yeah looks that way"he turned around as the the first student came in line.

As they moved a long. Single file. Scott saw Quinn come up next. He looked a bit nervous

as if Scott had poisined the food.

Scott gave him a weiry look.

Kindle saw. She liked. She smiled.

"There's a little poisin in that. I'd be careful." She smiled once again at Quinn. He got a

grim look on his face.

He was wondering if it was true.

Scott turned to Kindle. "Why'd you tell him that?"he questioned meanly.

"Cause I felt like it. God what are you my mother? Questioning every move I make."she

frowned and countinued serving. Inside she felt pretty confident.

"I'm sorry"Scott tried to apologize.

"Whatever. It doesn't matter any way"she shifted as they finished serving the last of

three other people including two counslers.

They served their own selves and went to join their group.

********************************************************************************

Table

"So"Jules began a casual conversation with Kindle"what were you thrown in here for any

way?"

"What do ya mean?"she asked.

"I mean why ar you here. There has to be a reason."she bluntly said.

"I don't wanna really disscuss that. Its sorta personal." Kindle's eyes flashed.

"Oh but see we all know it had to be something bad if you came here and got thrown in

with us"Shelby said ignoring the stares she got from the rest of the group.

"Especially if its with us"Ezra agreed finale.

"Well I feel so at home, I'm not ready to go. And I mean I'm making so many friends

here"she rolled her eyes and said sarcasticly.

"Also another point. You don't have any friends here, well maybe except for Jules. But the

rest well i guess I can only speak for me really. But trust me mini skirts don't work around

here with Peter"Shelby smiled and went to dump her tray. Scott followed.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Trash Cans-

Shelby dumps her tray and Scott does the same. She begins to walk away when he stops

her.

"What is wrong with you. Your acting like. God I don't know what your acting like"his

comment stopped the smirk that was appearing on her lips.

"You think that I'm gonna let her get away with what she did this morning? Well your

wrong"she saw him glance back towards the table at Kindle whatever her name was.

"Scott look at me.I think this morning she went a little to far"she sighed as her eyes met his.

"Okay so maybe she did!'he shrieked "but don't get upsett over it. Shes a newbie."

"Yeah a newbie about to face my wrath"Shelby twirled her head. She walked off seeing

Scott had nothing further to say.

Math Class-

The class was quiet as they took their test. Ezra was smiling with triumph at the front of

the class.

It was so easy. The teacher gave him a look of appreciation. He was her best math student

out of three other groups.She decided to step outside for a minute. She needed a smoke.

Just because these students couldn't smoke didn't mean she couldn't. She grabbed her

purse and stepped from the class giving them a warning glare.

Shelby waited and held her breath. She was glad the math teacher was gone. It was great.

She took a pen from her pocket and got a piece of paper from a notebook. She wrote on it:

Daisy,

Do you think I was out of line with Kindle. Maybe I was. I din't mean to. Its just shes got

kitchens with Scott every day for a week with Scott. And he likes her. WAS I OUT OF

LINE? It sucks big time.

And I never apologized the first time to Scott. Ya know when I blew up at him in the

library. What the HELL was I thinking? SHIT I wasn't thinking, I guess. I can't screw it up

with Scott. I just can't. Hes like my last chance or some SHIT!

w/b

She handed the not to Daisy.

___________________________________________________________

A/n: Okay I know alot of people have done the Scott cheats on Shelby, and she cheats right back. So I'm gonna try and stray from that story line okay. So um....its mostly gonna be about Kindle how she comes to terms with her past and how she makes a new life for herself out of lies. A lot of lies.
