True Love Chapter 2





Shelby was reading alone in the girl's dorm when Scott came in.

Scott: Hey beautiful.

Shelby smiled and put her book down.

Shelby: Hey.

Scott: Happy Birthday. I have a present for you but I figured I'd give
I'd give it to you tonight. However I can give you something right now.

Shelby: What's that?

Scott leaned in and gave her a nice long kiss.

When they pulled apart Scott asked, "Is your mom coming?

Shelby: No. She called me yesterday and said that if she missed another
day off work she'd be fired. I think the truth is she doesn't want to
see me any more then I want to see her.

Scott: Are you OK?

Shelby: I've learned to survive without her.

Daisy walked in.

Daisy: Scott Peter's looking for you. Your dad and some other people
are here.

Scott and Shelby looked at each other with a puzzled look on their
faces.

Shelby: Do you want me to come?

Scott: Yeah, if you want.

Shelby stood up and grabbed Scott's hand.

Shelby: Let's go.


Scott and Shelby entered Peter's office. In the office was Peter,
Scott's dad Martin, and three other teenagers about Scott's age.

Scott: Steve?! John?! Matt?!

Shelby looked at Scott confused.

Scott looked at Shelby.

Scott: Oh! Shelby these are my friends that I went to school with
before I came here. This is Steve, John, and Matt. Guys this is Shelby.

Scott put his arms around Shelby's waist.

Martin: Scott I know we havn't talked in a while and I know I missed
your birthday when you turned 17 last month, but I thought I'd try
and make up for it. Peter said you could go out for a while.

Steve: Yeah, c'mon man. We have to go home tomorrow.

Scott looked at Shelby to see what she thought but she wouldn't look
at him.

Martin: We'd pick you up at about 4:30 later today and have a little
party. Peter said it's OK as long as there's adult supervision.

Peter: It's up to you Scott.

Scott: Can I have a few minutes?

Martin: Sure.

Scott and Shelby walked out.
