Scott's World-CH. 25
Shelby couldn't believe that she was finally leaving Horizon. She always thought that she would either graduate or be pulled out by her mother to take care of things at home. This was going to be a whole new world opening up to her and she was actually a little scared. She just had to hold on because she knew that it was only a matter of time before Scott was back in her life. She had a very emotional farewell with the rest of the cliffhangers and she received a lot of advice from Peter and Shelby. She promised to keep everyone in touch and let them all know about how she was doing. She realized that she would be doing a lot of letter writing but it would help to pass the time away. Mrs. Boyd came back for her the next morning after she had a chance to get her things together.
"You haven't changed your mind have you? You look a little worried."
Shelby, "No I'll be fine. I think that I'm just a little scared. Not of you but just being back out in the real world again. Horizon was a sanctuary from all the things in the world that I was running from and now I have to face it all again."
"No Shelby you don't. The world that I'm going to take you to is not the same one that you came from. Things will be different this time."
Peter, "She's right Shelby. It will be different but that's not to say that you still won't have to overcome some challenges. We've given you a lot of tools to prepare yourself and if you remember to use them than you'll do just fine. If you ever need to talk you can always call because we are still here for you. Good luck and don't be a stranger." Peter walked over and gave her a big hug, as well did Sophie.
Sophie, "I'm sure going to miss you. Make sure you bring that cute little bundle of joy here to show off when it finally makes it's way into the world."
"Oh man I can't even think that far in advance yet. I'm just waiting until I get to see Scott again. It's killing me to ask him how he found out about the baby."
She got in the car and drove away waving at all the people that she cared about that was in her life. Her heart was heavy at leaving the only true people that felt like family to her. She was quiet and subdued as Susan drove to the airport.
Susan looked over and saw the sorrow look in her face. She needed to somehow bring some light into this girl that sat next to her. "You can tell me your feelings if you like. I'm a real good listener. Why don't you tell me how you and Scott became a couple."
It was funny discussing her feelings to the mother of her one true love but Susan was kind and gentle. She was easy to talk to. "It's actually kind of funny because he really couldn't stand me at first. No matter what I did to get his attention he would just call me a name and turn his back."
"He called you names? What kind of names?"
"He called me a used car and a skank."
Susan's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Did you slap him? I never raised him to be disrespectful to people like that. You should have slapped him."
Shelby just laughed at that thought. "Well he was going through a tough time being the newbie and all. I do believe that he loved the fact that two girls were crushing on him though. It was war between Juliet and me to get his attention."
"Was he rude to Juliet as well?"
"No, they actually hooked up for awhile but things just didn't work out. He was actually protective of her and I think that he still is. I think that he looks at her as more of a sister than anything else now."
"So when did things change between you two?"
Shelby shyly smiled, "I'm not sure that you want to hear it."
"Actually I do. I feel that I've missed out on a lot of Scott's teenage life and I need to hear what I've been missing. I'll make a deal with you. You tell me all you can about him right now and I'll tell you some things about him when he was younger. He'll probably kill me but wait until we get home and I'll show you the boxes and boxes of baby pictures that I have of him. He was such a cute kid."
Shelby liked Scott's mother more and more. She almost envied him because of the relationship that they must have had at one time. She continued to tell her about how Scott spilled his guts to her about the whole Elaine abuse and how she had stuck by him through the whole CPS situation. She went on for what seemed like hours. It helped speed up the plane ride home.
Barringer Estate
Scott went without dinner because he refused that tell his grandfather where he had gotten the weed to smoke. Scott was getting antsy to get out and needed to talk to his mother. He waited until the middle of the night when everyone was asleep to sneak downstairs in the study to use the phone. He called his mother but was told by his stepfather that she went to Horizon to pick up Shelby. This was one huge load off his mind now. All he had to do was make sure that his grandfather didn't know where she was and then he couldn't make his threats anymore. Scott knew that Spencer was hacking into the Horizon computer system to retrieve his information. He needed to talk to Peter about that. Even though it was in the middle of the night he still needed to make the phone call because he didn't know when he would get another chance.
Peter thought he was dreaming but when he finally woke up he realized that the phone had been ringing for some time. Crap what time was it? He hoped that it wasn't some kind of an emergency.
"Hello."
"Peter? Is that you?"
"What time is it? Scott is that you?"
"Yeah, sorry to wake you but I need you to do something for me."
"Scott where are you? Are you all right? Did you know that you mother came by today and took Shelby with her?"
"Gee Peter what is this 20 questions? Yes I'm fine and yes I know that my mom has Shelby. I'm at my grandparent's house and I know how my grandfather was getting all his information about me. He hired a private eye named Spencer. He was the same guy that I saw in the woods the day of the quest remember? Anyway Spencer has been sneaking into the office and hacking into the computer system. You must write a book about all of us because everything you wrote was given to my grandfather and he seems to know more about me than I do myself."
"But Scott that's illegal."
"Peter you don't understand. My grandfather is above the law. That's how I found out about Shelby because you put it in her file. Oh I'm sorry about that. I guess I'd be on shuns if I were still there right?"
"It'd be worse punishment kiddo."
"Well I'm getting my just reward now. Because he monitors everything you document than I need you not to mention that Shelby has left or at least don't mention that she left with my mom. As long as he doesn't know where she is than he can't continue making threats against her to keep me in line."
"Scott this sounds like something the police should be notified about."
"They can't arrest someone for making threats. Only if they act upon them and by that time it might be to late. I can't afford to take the risk of anything happening to her. I figure that if I piss the old man off enough than maybe he'll get rid of me like he did my father."
"Scott you be careful that nothing happens to yourself either. Shelby is getting taken care of now so you need to watch you own back now. I'll take care of things here for you and then tomorrow I'm investing in a security system." Before Peter could say anything else to Scott he heard shouting in the background and then the phone went dead.
The lights flipped on which startled Scott as his grandfather came stomping into the room. "What the hell are you doing?" Scott quickly put down the receiver. "Who are you calling at this hour in the morning?" Scott backed away to further the distance between his grandfather and himself. "ANSWER ME" he shouted.
"No one. I mean I was going to call someone but they didn't answer."
"Who was this someone?"
"My mom"
"Why would you call your mom? She walked out on you. Don't you know that she doesn't want anything to do with you anymore?"
"That's not true."
"Listen we're all the family you need right now. Your father walked out yesterday because he has given up on you. Why do you think that he sent you away to that school? He gave up on you and it was easier to get rid of you than deal with your problems."
"You mean like father like son. Is history repeating itself? You gave up on my dad and got rid of him too. The only difference is that he came back for me and you never went back for him."
"Yes that may be true but I'm not going to let you be a victim of that situation. I can continue with you where I left off with him."
"You can't do that because I'm not my father. You can't pretend to make up for lost time with another person. I'm not going to pay for my father's mistakes. I've got enough of my own to deal with."
"Yes you do and I'm going to help you deal with them. You'll be going off to school this weekend and you can fall into a familiar pattern of life. It's important that you succeed here so that you won't regret it for the rest of your life. Now I want you to go back to bed now and we'll pack your things for Manchester tomorrow."
Scott walked back to his room as his grandfather shadowed him. As he went inside he heard the door shut and than a click of a lock. He went over to turn the doorknob and found that he was now locked inside his room. The only thing that gave him comfort was the fact that he knew that Shelby was now safe. Once he got to Manchester Academy than he would try and make his getaway.
The next day came and Scott was starving from not having any dinner the night before. He sat down with the rest of the family for breakfast as Edward gave out orders for Scott's bags to be packed and put in the car for departure. His grandfather gave him the usual lecture about how great and prestigious this school was. How he should be honored to go there because it's a very hard school to get into and if he succeeded than he'd have colleges from all over begging for him to attend. He told Scott that they already held a spot on the football team because of his previous football experience. He said that the faculty was excited about his arrival and a lot of people were looking forward to
meeting the grandson of the powerful and prominent corporate mogul. This didn't sit to well with Scott because that meant that a lot of people would be watching him and expecting great things from him.
Lilly, "It seems like the school is anxiously waiting for the golden boy make his grand entrance." She looked over at Scott and gave him the - I feel sorry for you look. "I bet grandfather even has hired you your very own bodyguard." Scott looked worried.
Scott, "Please tell me that you won't have someone tailing me."
"I have someone keeping a close eye on you but don't worry because they are not to interfere with your social or academic lifestyle. They are there to make sure that you don't pull anything stupid if you know what I mean and no you will not be told who it is. It could be someone different each day."
"That's not fair. I should be able to go to school without someone constantly looking over my shoulder."
"Well if you can prove to me that you can be mature and a responsible person than I will back off. I'll give it about a month and than I'll reevaluate the situation."
The only thing that Scott could think of was how he was going to ditch his shadow. First he needed to find out who it was and then he could try and make his move. He just needed to be patient, which was not one of his strong traits.
After breakfast they loaded up the car and headed to Manchester Academy. He was given a tour of the campus, introduced to the headmaster, staff and then he was taken to his room in the dorm. There was a lot of staring and whispering as he walked down the hallway. Scott knew that he was the topic of conversation and he didn't like it. He didn't know what all the other boy's problem were but he was going to sure find out after his grandfather left.
After he was settled in and given the rules and procedures of the academy, Scott was finally left alone to sort things out. His grandfather said that he would call tomorrow to see how things were going. Scott let out a sign of relief as he watched his grandfather's limo pull away from the campus. He heard his bedroom door open and shut as a kid named Daniel announced his presence as Scott's roommate. Daniel seemed a little uncomfortable as he stared and tried to figure Scott out. The kid's attitude was really bugging Scott and he just couldn't take it anymore.
"What's the hell your problem man? You look at me like I'm from another planet or something and what's with everyone else in the hallway?"
Daniel seemed a little flustered. "Sorry man, I just can't believe I'm the one that got stuck with you being my roommate."
"Well excuse me if you got stuck with me. You won't have to worry because I'm not planning on staying very long. As soon as I can brake out than I'm history."
"You're kidding. Why would you want to leave? I thought that you were getting the royal treatment here. Your grandfather practically owns this academy and we were all told that you are like the chosen one and we all had to practically bow down to you. We were told that if you didn't get along with someone than you could have them expelled."
"Shit, that's why everyone was looking at me like I was going to cut off their head or something. Listen, I could care less about this place. I'm being forced and blackmailed to be here and I'm going to try my hardest to get myself kicked out unless I can figure a way to get off campus first."
"This is so great. You aren't anything like what was explained to us. I guess we all don't have to be scared of you than. I've got to hold a floor meeting with everyone and maybe we can help you." Daniel ran to the door to explain things to all the other boys and when he opened to door half the guys were all trying to eavesdrop through the door. They all backed up afraid that Daniel was trying to make a run for it.
"Hey you guys come on in. I'd like you to meet my roommate Scott Barringer and he isn't anything like what we were told. He seems pretty cool." They all slowly walked in nodding a greeting. "Ok guys we have a mission to accomplish. Scott wants to be kicked out of here because he is being forced here beyond his own will. We need to try and figure a way to help him out."
Scott, "I do know that my overbearing grandfather has someone assigned to shadow me so we need to find out who it is. I was told that I could get anyone expelled but don't worry because I'm not planning on ratting on anyone. The only person that I want expelled is me. You guys could rat on me as much as you want and I won't care."
Another boy, "We actually can't make that much of a difference. If you want to piss somebody off than it needs to be the monitors. They are the ones that walk around looking to give out demerits and in force to rules around here. You can tell who they are because they wear the red armbands on their uniforms."
Scott, "Uniforms what uniforms?"
"Uniforms like what everyone here has to wear. Look in your closet yours are in there."
Scott walked over to his closet and he looked inside at the navy trousers, white shirts and navy blazer with the school crest on the left breast pocket and the name Barringer engraved on the right side.
"Fuck me. No way in hell I'm wearing that monkey suit." It became very quiet in the room and Scott was aware that everyone was staring at him. "Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you are all monkeys."
"No offense taken. I'm sure that everyone here feels the same way but regardless, you won't be allowed outside the dorm without it on. I know that you want to get out of here but your roommate Daniel will suffer if you are caught out of uniform as well as keeping your side of the room clean. You are considered partners here and some of your mistakes will reflect on him."
"Great, I don't want to make people around me suffer so what do I do?"
"Well most rules you can brake and be own your own for punishment but some reflect on your roommate. Being out of uniform code, keeping your side of the room dirty, out past curfew and late for class will reflect on each other because they believe that you and your roommate are suppose to help and support each other."
"Ok fine, I'll just have to find other ways of pissing people off. This is getting tense. Does anyone have anything to smoke?"
The group of boys looked at each other wondering if they could really trust Scott or if he was trying to set them up for a fall. The only way to find out was to see if he would really partake of the forbidden substance. They decided to watch him for a couple of days to see if he was really trustworthy and then they would revel their secret hideout that only a very few select boys knew about.
To Be Continued.
