Surprise's Sometimes Don't Work Out
Scott was waiting for Shelby's return anyday he thought she would be there standing infront of him kissing him.But then again they were just special friends they couldn't do that.But his love was to strong to be away from her and not feel her lips on his.Daisy walked in and looked at Scott.
Daisy:Hey don't worry she will be here soon.She called me and said she was out shopping and stuff like that.
Scott:Shelby shops?
Daisy:Yes she does and probaly a lot of it too.And Peter wants us in the loundge.We have a newbie.
Scott:Great just what I needed.
They walked in the loundge and sat down by Jules and Auggie.Peter and walked in.
Peter:Guys you are going to love this.
Jules:We are?
Peter:Yes.Horizon has just gotten its first exchange student from England.
Jules:Really!
Peter:Her name is Embelin.She is be checked by Sophie right now but you will meet her at lunch.
Sophie:Actually we are all done and you can meet her now.
A tall girl stepped up into the light.She was pale(mostly because she is from England.I think some of the people there are pale?)She had blonde hair ,very curly and green eyes and small lips.Jules ran up to her.
Jules:Hey my name is Jules.
Embelin:I guess you already know my name.
Jules:I love the way you talk.
Auggie coming up behind Jules:Jules I think you need to calm down.
Scott:I am Scott.
Ezra:Ezra.
Daisy:Daisy.
David:Daivid.Nice to meet you.
Kat:Hey I am Kat.
Auggie:I am Auggie.
Embelin:Nice to meet you all.But Peter said ther were 8 of you were is the eighth?
Jules:Her name is Shelby.She is spending time with her mom.
Embelin:I wish that was what I was doing right now.
Jules:Are you home sick?
Embelin:I miss the smell of cinnamen.My mom always had them cooking in the oven do you like them?
Jules:Some times when I am hungery.
Peter:Jules will you get her settled in?
Jules:Sure.I would love to.
After they left Peter walked up to Scott.
Peter:I got a call from Shelby.She said she would be back Friday.
Scott:Can't you tell her to come back thusday?
Peter:I guess I oculd but there is this one itsy bitsy problem.
Scott:Which is?
Peter:You are on kitchen duty and I will not give her that message you know why?It doesn't really matter she told me she would be here two days from now and that is when she will get here.
Peter walked away with a smug smile on his face.He had put Scott just where he wanted him.Scott's birthday was coming up really soon so Peter had it planned that Shelby would make a surprise return early.Shelby should arrive some time today at Peter's house.He walked to where Sophie was standing and said something in her ear.
Sophie:Ok.
Peter:And the key is where it usually is.
Sophie:Next time you see me I will be with Shelby.Love you.
She walked over to Peter's place and started prepareing for Shelby's return.Hopefully she wouldn't want to see Scott at first because she couldn't spoil the surprise for him.She heard the phone ring in the kitchen.She ran to answer it.
Sophie:Hello.
Shelby:Hey I am at the airport waiting for you to come and pick me up.
Sophie:Ok I will be there in about thirty minutes.You can look around and get something to eat before I come because Peter is cooking tonight and well it will be disgusting.
Shelby:See you later.
Sophie hung up the phone hoping Shelby would stay out of trouble.Shelby went up to a snack machine and got a little bag of chips.She went and sat down by some english lady.Shelby couldn't help herself so she asked the lady a question.
Shelby:Are you from England?
MrsLei:Yes I am.I just brought my daughter to a school in this area.
Shelby:Would that school happen to be Horizon?
MrsLei:Yes it is do you go there?
Shelby:Yes.I just went home to visit my mom and now I am on my way back.
MrsLei:Would you do me a favor and look after my daughter?
Shelby:Sure.What is her name?
MrsLei:Embelin.If it helps she is in the ummm cliffhanger group.
Shelby:That is good that's my group too!
Attendant:Flight 189 heading to England is about to take flight mam.
MrsLei:Ok thank you.Bye Miss Shelby.
Shelby:Bye!
Shelby thought to herself.A new girl in our group.I hope Scott doesn't like her.
At Horizon Scott was cleanning dishes that had mashed potatoes on them.Embelin walked in the room.
Embelin:Hey there!Can you tell me more about this girl Shelby?
Scott:Sure she is my girlfriend or was I mean we are special friends now.She is about your height not to tall but taller than Jules and Daisy she has blonde hair and blue eyes and well stubberen and sarcastic and beautiful.
Embelin:Sorry for your loss.It seems you loved her and still do.Well thank you very much.
Scott:Your welcome.
Embelin walked away.She didn't like Scott but she just wanted to know more about this Shelby girl.Jules walked up to her.
Jules:Hey.I see you were talking to Scott.Do you like him?
Embelin:Oh no.I just thought he may know about Shelby.The girl that isn't here.
Jules:You could of asked me I am one of her friends.
Embelin:Really?
Jules:Well actually she doesn't like girls like me but we became friends a few weeks ago.
Embelin:Well I am not anything like you.
Jules:Why are you here?
Embelin:Not telling you.
Jules:You know I think you and Shelby will be great friends!You act just like her.
Jules stormed away.Embelin was compatition to her to win Shelby's friendship.Embelin would probaly become Shelby's best friend when she got back.But Jules wouldn't let that happen.She went in the loungde and plopped down by Kat.
Kat:What is wrong with you?
Jules:I just don't like Embelin!
Kat:Why not?She seems perfectly fine to me!
Jules:Well not to me!
Jules got up and left to go to her dorm.She tossed and turned when she tried to take a nap.
Sophie arrived to pick up Shelby and hour after she called.Shelby wasn't smiling when she saw Sophie.
Shelby:You are late!
Sophie:Sorry.Peter tried to bake a cake.It expolded and I had to clean it up.
Shelby:Who is the cake for?
Sophie:Scott's birthday.I thought Peter told you you were his surprise to be early?
Shelby:Just kidding.So do I actually get to watch t.v?
Sophie:I guess when we get back to Horizon you can but you can't let Scott know you are here.
Shelby:Sure.
They climbed in the car and drove to Horizon.They got out at Peter's place and the cold wind was blowing at their faces.
Sophie:Go inside and unpack and hurry.I probaly have to go get all the kids inside.
Sophie unlocked the door for Shelby.The warm air inside the house made her smile with pleasure.She climbed the stairs and saw pictures of the cliffhangers all over the wall.There was one with her and Scott sitting by the fire.And another with All the cliffhanger girls and one picture of Daisy and her by the lake.It was filled with memories.But as she looked down the wall there were to pictures at the end.Of Valerie.One of her sitting alone and one talking to Kat.Shelby prayed that Valerie was ok where ever she was.Most of the pictures she knew Jules took but the one at the end with Valerie sitting alone she didn't know where they got because the background behind her was not Horizon.Maybe a picture where she was at her home and her mom sent it to the school.Who knew?Kat walked in the room and saw Shelby up the stairs.
Kat:Shelby what are you doing here?
Shelby:You aren't supposed to know!Don't tell anyone got it?
Kat:I guess.Oh I came here for that picture on the wall of you and Scott.
Shelby pulled it off the wall and handed it to Kat.
Shelby:Why do you need that picture?
Kat:To make a special fram for Scott's birthday.
Shelby:Nice.
Kat:See you later ok?
Shelby:Later.And be careful going back to Horizon the wind is blowing hard.
Kat:I will!
Kat walked out the door and headed back to Horizon with the picture.Shelby was right the wind was blowing very hard.She had to run the rest of the way because she hardly got anywhere walking.As soon as she reached the art room door Sophie came out of it.
Sophie:Is she ok?
Kat:Shelby?Yeah.
Sophie:Good.You are going to have a lot of time in the art room because I odn't want anyone leaving cover shelter.
Kat:Ok.
Sophie:I will come and get you when the storm is over because as you can see it hasn't even started.All this is is wind!
Kat:Scary.See you later.And be careful getting back to Peter's house there is a tree down.
Sophie:Thanks bye.
Sophie ran as hard as she could bach to the house.Shelby was on the couch watching tv.When Sophie fell through the door.Shelby turned around see what happened.
Shelby:Omg Sophie are you alright?
Sophie:Yeah but I don't know if we will be able to have Scott's birthday anytime soon.
Sophie had a face full of panic.They were trapped they couldn't leave the house.Soon the electricity would cut off.They were left there to just stare outside and hope for the best.
