People Change pt.4

Shelby woke up the next morning hoping last night had been a dream. When she realized it wasn't , she became more angry than she was sad. She wanted to be with Scott, if only Ashley weren't around, maybe she would be able to trust him again. She looked over at Juliet's bed, she must have already gone to class. She hopped out of bed got dressed, put up her hair, grabbed her books and ran down the stairs. Everyone who had been sitting in the living room looked up at her worried, then they looked at the door as it opened and Ashley appeared. Shelby pushed her against the wall and ran out of the dorm and to the lodge for breakfast. She got her food and sat in her usual seat across from Scott. He was surprised to see her he could tell.

" hey" he said nervously

" I'm still upset but I love you." Shelby said placing her hand over his "I changed a lot over the summer and so did you, but that doesn't have to mean that we don't still belong together." Shelby explained. Scott sighed in relief. " its gonna take me a while to be able to fully trust you again but I want us to work this out"

Scott smiled at her. " Thank god." He thought out loud. " I love you not Ashley I swear it meant nothing, she knows all about you I told her that I wanted to be with you and only you" Ashley walked in behind Juliet. " you want to walk with me to class?" Scott asked

" Yeah. I would like that." Shelby smiled standing up. Scott took her hand and led her to her class.

Juliet sighed happily as she watched Scott and Shelby walk out of the lodge hand in hand. Ashley who sat behind her laughed, Juliet looked at her questionably.

" it won't last Scott and I have history" Ashley smiled

" Trust me you don't want to get in Shelby's way she will tear you apart." Juliet warned her. " Plus there is no point in trying to break them up, they belong together, I speak from experience, there is no way in hell you are going to get him away from Shelby he's obsessed with her" Juliet said. " There so cute aren't they" Juliet said trying to make Ashley squirm.

" I'm not afraid of that girl, she's nothing but a barbie doll to Scott, I know what he really wants and it's me" She said conceitedly. Juliet looked at her and laughed.

" We'll just have to see about that" She said. Daisy who sat next to her laughed.

" What's so funny?" Ashley said offended, now that Auggie and Ezra were also laughing at her.

" If I were you I would just back off. Shelby will destroy you" Daisy smiled.

" As a matter of fact keep pushing her it will be entertaining watching Shelby beat you to a pulp" Ezra joked, everyone laughed.

" Scott would never let that happen?" Ashley said becoming defensive she didn't like everyone taking Shelby's side, everyone at home had encouraged her to try and get Scott back. She remembered that night that they kissed like it was yesterday. It was June and Scott had just got home from Horizon, everyone was at a party one of the students at the local high school was throwing. She remembered how it felt when Scott pushed her away, that look of disgust on his face and he remembered how he explained in detail how amazing his girlfriend was and how much he loved her.

" You think so huh?" Auggie laughed a little and got up. " Jules you want to walk with me to class?"

" Sure." Juliet said trying not to sound too excited. She liked him so much but didn't know what to do about it. She was almost sure he felt the same way but was so self conscious that the thought of that small chance that he didn't stopped her from showing him how she really felt. But she promised herself that she couldn't let that stop her, she was becoming very self disciplined and had stopped herself from purging all summer. " Peter is probably waiting for you in his office" Juliet reminded Ashley before walking out with Auggie. Daisy looked at Ashley with a large grin on her face.

" What?" Ashley said getting up.

" Oh boy is this gonna be fun" Daisy laughed. She could almost see Shelby violently attacking her. Ashley ran up to Peter's office and sat across from him.

" So how are you settling in?" Peter asked

" Umm ok I guess" Ashley put on a fake smile.

" I guess it must help knowing someone here" Peter replied

" Yeah I guess. Hey Peter how long have Scott and Shelby been together?" she asked abruptly.

" I am not exactly sure but I think about nine months now. Why?" Peter asked becoming suspicious.

" Just wondering. What's she like?" She asked again nosily.

" Well at first she seems a little mean I guess. But once she opens up she is one of the sweetest most intelligent young women I have ever met." Peter raved about her. Shelby was one of his favorite students she had made so much progress and he was extremely proud of her. She must be an ex-girlfriend he thought from what Mr. Barringer explained Scott had a lot of those. " Do you mind me asking why you are so interested?"
