Three Days Later:
Scott sat up straight in bed, he had been to depressed to get out of bed all day and had fallen back asleep, he looked at the clock, it was six. Scott rubbed his eyes and looked around to discover he was not alone in his room, there in a chair across the room sat Brandon.
" What's up loser, I was wondering when you were gonna wake up" He said. Scott laughed and rolled out of bed. " Your dad let me in told me to go cheer you up, what's wrong not happy to be outta boot camp?" He asked
" I wouldn't say that, guess I just miss some things about it" Scott said as he pulled his sweatshirt over his head. He pulled his sneakers on and tugged at his jeans to fix them.
" Some things?" Brandon asked curiously. His cousin never knew when to give up, an obvious Barringer trait. " Oh you mean that girl"
" What girl?" Scott asked blushing.
" The one in all the pictures by your bed." Brandon said following him down the grand staircase. " She's cute as hell"
Scott laughed a little and ran into the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator door and pulled out a bottle of water handing it to Brandon and got one for himself. " Dad!" he called.
" Yes son?" He answered from his office.
" Brandon and I are going out back to play ball we'll be back in a while" Scott answered. Things hadn't changed at all around the Barringer estate, his father still insisted on knowing his exact whereabouts 24/7. Brandon followed Scott out the door and to the basketball court they had out back by the swimming pool and tennis court.
" Tell me Brando how long has it been since you got any action" Scott said referring to his constant interest about Shelby.
" Actually I just met a girl the other night, out in Westwood." Brandon explained. " But still I haven't talked to you in like six months and suddenly you've got a girl who you haven't mentioned once. Besides the fact that you don't exactly have a reputation as a one woman type a guy"
" Yea well people change." Scott said shooting the ball into the net.
" You change? I can slightly remember you teasing me for being with Lisa for so long and how ridiculous I was for having a relationship." Brandon laughed and passed the ball back to him."
" Like I said people change." Scott said dribbling at the same time. " Besides if it hadn't been for Shelby I never would have made it through this year."
" So she has a name." Brandon said sarcastically. " What else?"
" She's amazing, I don't know how else to explain her." Scott sighed getting a goofy grin on his face. " And she's got these beautiful blue eyes"
Brandon laughed. " Your really hooked on this girl aren't you?"
" I love her" Scott said thinking about how hard the next three months were going to be. Brandon laughed and jogged off the court.
" I gotta go this is too much for me to handle all in one day. Besides its spaghetti night so if I don't get home moms will kill me, see ya around cuz"
Shelby had gotten home early that morning; it was now six and she had just begun to unpack. The town had somehow heard of Shelby's return, and being a very small town the gossip was out of control. Bromwin, Shelby's best friend growing up had arrived at the house hearing the rumors to see if they were true, she hadn't seen or heard from Shelby since the end of Freshman year. They sat on the floor in her room separating the contents of her suitcase into piles to be put away.
" So, I know that it would probably have been to hard for you to write or anything, so I didn't expect it. But you scared us you know" Bromwin said suddenly getting serious. " When you ran, none of us had any idea what was going on and without warning were being questioned by the police if we had ever supplied you with illegal narcotics."
" Sorry about all that, you guys shouldn't have had to go through that." Shelby sighed. " Your mom must have freaked huh?"
" Oh ya" Bromwin laughed.
" Well it scared us straight that's for sure, none of us have used since that day." Bromwin said. " So I guess you did us a favor"
" Well lets not think about back then, we were all very different people" Shelby sighed putting a pair of jeans in a pile with the rest of them on her bed. She stood up and carried the pile over to her dresser, and stuffed them into the bottom two drawers.
" OOO La La!" She heard Bromwin laugh. She turned around; Bromwin held her framed picture of she and Scott. Shelby laughed and snatched the picture from Bromwin's hand. She opened the back of the frame and rested it against the night table next to her bed.
" Oh come on Shell, I want details"
" None of your business" Shelby said gazing at the picture in front of her. " It's no big deal anyway, nothing special"
" Right. That's why you're starring at that picture about to cry. Come on Shelby give me some excitement living in this town gets a little boring" Bromwin said sitting next to her on her bed. Shelby sighed and got up.
" His name is Scott" Shelby began a smile crossing her face. " What else do you want to know?"
" Details, I mean like are you guys like together or just fooling around or like.." Bromwin began
" In love." Shelby finished her sentence. Bromwin's eyes widened, and Shelby giggled and collapsed the floor. Bromwin dove onto the floor next to her. " He is so amazing, I don't know how I am going to go three months without seeing him"
" So your seriously into this guy?" Bromwin asked shocked. " Well tell me more! Where did u meet? Is he a good kisser?"
" BROM!" Shelby laughed. " He was in my group at school... and yes he's an amazing kisser, and I mean not like a really good kisser, like a REALLY good kisser"
" He looks familiar." Bromwin said as Shelby took the picture off the nightstand and gazed at it longingly. " Guess he's just got one of those faces." Shelby pulled his gray T-shirt out of her suitcase and put it on. Bromwin laughed at her as she pouted starring at his picture.
" Oh come on Shelby you guys can't be that serious I mean it's not like you..." Bromwin began but was cut off by the look on Shelby's face.
" What?" Shelby asked.
" You always were a rule breaker." Bromwin laughed
" What are you talking about?" Shelby asked curiously.
" I thought this school had rules against the hanky panky" She smiled. Shelby bust out in laughter.
DEAR LIE: The homecoming.
