What Life Is About

Chapter 8

Everyone was at the tables in the cafetiria and listening to Peter's speech about the death at Horizon.Shelby didn't want to listen so she left to the benches outside.Peter didn't mind that much because she had had a long night.

Peter:.........And while we are on this subject we will have cabin inspections sometime this week.It won't be today or tommorow but any other days this week are open for cabin inspections.

When he let them all go Scott went to find Shelby.He saw her on the ground next to a tree.He went and sat by her.

Scott:Are you tired?

Shelby:Yeah.So are you going to skip Language?

Scott:No.

Shelby:Well how about math?

Scott:No.

Shelby:Well see you later.

She gave him a quick kiss on the lips and went to her dorm.Scott watched her go and he sighed to himself that she didn't push him into skipping class with her.Today was his day for hisself,no one was going to take today away from him not even Shelby.He wanted a little time to sort a few things out in his brain.Auggie walked up to him.

Auggie:Hey what'z up?

Scott:Nothing much.

Auggie:You and Shelby back together?

Scott:Well in some ways yes and other ways I don't think she trusts me all that much anymore.

Auggie:Well you did have another girlfriend.

Scott:Yeah but I never thought about her.Shelby knows that I love her.Doesn't she?

Auggie:Of course.But you have toprove to her that you love her.

Scott:I thought I already did that once?

Auggie:It doesn't matter how many times you think you have done it you just have to do this over and over again till she knows you really mean it.

Scott:Well I guess I could do that.It sounds simple.

Auggie:Well get this it isn't and it will never be easy.

Scott:Hey thanks for the pep talk.

Auggie:Welcome.Talk later.

Scott got up and went to language.He sat infront of where Shelby usually sits but she never showed up to class.She wasn't in math or science either.She showed up dearing the middle of reading and stayed for history.

Scott leaned back in his chair:Hey where were you?

Shelby:Sleeping.

Scott:Nice.

Shelby:I don't care if you approve or not.It doesn't matter.

Scott:Well I just thought you would come to class.

Shelby:Well you thought wrong.Bye!

Class was over.Scott was mad.Shelby was upset.Scott caught up with Shelby after class to talk.

Scott:Hey!So what happened while I turned my back?

Shelby:Well not much.I went to sleep reading a book and woke up in the middle of reading.What a coincidence.

Scott:Funny.I am laughing so loudly .

Shelbysmiling:Well I am glad you like my jokes.

Scott:Meet me tonight at the shed after lights out.

Shelby:See you tonight!

Shelby and Scott were finally back together like they were meant to be.The world was finally spinning.

Hey hope you liked it.I think I will wait awhile till I get a lot of reviews and then I will get a lot of info of what you guys would like.
