Secrets 6

The car sped off and Scott gave a sigh of relief that his father had finally left. He turned to Shelby who was starring down at a small piece of paper, and looked almost as if she were going to cry. Scott touched her face gently.

" Hey whats this?" Scott asked looking down at the piece of paper in her enclosed hands which were shaking nervously. Shelby pulled it away quickly.

" Its nothing" Shelby smiled to assure him she was fine. " Hey I gotta go to class but you think we can meet at the docks tonight say....midnight?" Shelby asked mischivously.

Scott smiled and put his arms around her. " I'll be there" he whispered making sure Peter couldn't hear them. He kissed her softly on her pink lips.

" See ya then" She whispered and ran off to catch up with Juliet and Daisy.


Auggie looked around the classroom,they had gotten in a fight over a week ago and she still wouldn't speak to him. Without a word she came in the room and sat at her desk infront of him. He couldn't really blame her, he'd done nothing but confuse her for months, and last week when she saw him kiss Caitlin she looked less than thrilled. They hadn't spoken since.

" Jules would you just talk to me already." Auggie whispered in her ear. She didn't respond only sat stone faced infront of him not moving an inch. " I am not gonna just leave you alone so get used to it." Auggie said begging to get annoyed that she wouldn't respond to him.

" Excuse me could you stop breathing on me i am trying to pay attention" Juliet said rudely. Daisy and Shelby laughed as Auggie sat back in his seat, mortified.

"EVERYONE LISTEN UP PLEASE!" Jeff yelled. " I have a few announcments to make before we start class." Everyone settled in and faced Jeff infront of the class room. " I just want to remind all of you that Parents Week is rapidly approaching so if you want to get your grades up by then you need to come see me for extra help"

Daisy and Shelby both gave each other disgusted looks about the idea of parents day. David tapped Shelby on the back.

" What?" Shelby turned around quickly.

" Now you can finally meet dad." David whispered excitedly. Shelby gave a weak smile and turned back around to face Jeff. David meant well, but meeting her father wasn't on her list of prioritys at the moment.

At the end of the day everyone scattered to there dorms and to the lodge before meeting back for dinner. Shelby sat quietly through dinner not touching her food, almost repulsed by the idea of eating at a time like this, she was nervous about what to say to Scott so that he would understand, the last thing she would ever want would be for him to hate her. But she had to do what was right. Auggie sat down at the table angrily and slammed down his dinner tray. Shelby and Daisy both giggled as Juliet got up and sat on the other side of the table.

"Funny" Auggie said glarring at them. They both stopped immediately and tried to hold it all in for Auggies sake he was embarrased enough already. Daisy finished her meal and quietly got up from the table. But before she could walk out Shelby noticed her unusual tone.

" Hey" She said grabbing her arm. " Whats Up?"

Daisy shook her head a little trying to convince Shelby she was fine and get away before she eneded up telling her everything. " Everythings fine"

" Right thats why you have been so weird and quiet all day, i mean you haven't made a smart ass comment all day i'm getting a little worried about you." Shelby said. " come on what are you not telling me?"

" I have a secret." Daisy said uncomfortably. " and i can't tell anyone what it is." she said and walked away.

After lights out Scott stared at the clock counting down the minutes until he could see his Shelby again. Lately his obsession with her had gotten worse, she was all he thought about now, he could barely stand to be without her even just for a minute. Finally it was midnight. He hopped out of bed excited and put on his shoes and his sweatshirt.

" Tell Shelby i said hi" Auggie moaned his head under his pillow. Scott laughed.

" will do man," Scott said and ran out the door and down to the docks. She was already there and he couldn't help but kiss her right away.

" Scott wait a minute" Shelby giggled.

" Why?" he whispered kissing her neck.

" I need to talk to you about something really important first." Shelby said and pulled him off her.

" Uh OH whats wrong?" Scott asked. He sat down on the docks and pulled Shelby down next to him.

Shelby took a deep breath." Ok here it goes." she sighed " you know today when you went inside with Peter and left me alone with your dad?"

" yeah" Scott said nervously.

Shelby pulled the check out of her pocket and handed it to him. " He threw this at me and asked me to make a deal with him that, if he gave me this i would stay away from you." Shelby said sadly.

Scott put his hand over his face and sighed. His breath was shaky and Shelby could tell that he was trying not to cry.

" Scott you have to believe me the only reason i took it was because i wanted to have proof to give to you when i told you about this. I would never do that to you i love you so much, i wouldn't be able to live without you" Shelby rambled on nervously. Scott took her hand.

" Its ok Shelby calm down." Scott said. He pushed a piece of hair behind her ear and gently brushed her cheek.

" You know how much i need you right." Shelby said trying not to cry.

" I do now." Scott smiled and kissed her forehead. " Thank you for not like beating him up or ne thing. I mean the way you went about this was much better than i ever would have." Scott looked down at the ground.

Shelby took the check, ripped it up and threw it in the water. " no amound of money could ever keep me away from you." She smiled and kissed him sweetly.

" I love you" Scott smiled

" I love you" Shelby smiled cuddeling up against him.
