CHAPTER SEVEN
The next morning Jessica woke up and looked around her tent. She could see the leaves sitting on top of the tent. She got out of her tent and saw Sophie help get everyone packed. Jessica bag was already packed except for her sleeping bag and tent.
"Why are my things packed." Jessica asked.
"You were sleeping so Scott was kind enough to pack it all for you." Sophie said. Jessica smiled.
"Thanks Scott." She said and everyone finished packing and walk in silence back to Horizon. Peter was standing there waiting for them.
"Well how was your trip?" He asked. "You guys go get cleaned up and meet me in my office in 30 minutes." Peter said. Everyone went to their dorms and started to change and shower.
"Shelby I don't want to fight with you anymore." Jessica said. Shelby looked at her.
"If you don't want to fight, stay away from Scott." She said. Jessica sat on her bed and tied her shoes.
"Seriously, let Scott pick who ever he wants but I don't want to fight." Jessica said.
"Stop trying to be so understanding. I know your thinking of some way to get him so back off." Shelby said. Jessica sighed and got up. She walked out the dorm and went to wait outside of Peter's office. Scott came by and sat with her.
"He's talking to some people in there." Jessica said.
"Probably some ridge runners or something." Scott said.
"Ridge Runner?" Jessica asked.
"Another group." Shelby walked up and the door to Peter's office started to open. Jessica and Scott stood up. Jessica watched the door open and her heart stopped. Her mouth dropped open when she saw who was with Peter.
"Jared!" She said.
"Hey Jessica." Jared went up to her and gave her a hug She just stood there. Her mind was blank and her eyes didn't blink. "Hey Scott man, what's happening?" Jared said and gave Scott a high five.
"Nothing man, just got back form a hike." Scott said.
"You can all talk later, you three in my office." Peter said. They all walked it but Scott stopped Jessica before she sat down.
"It'll be ok." He said to her. They all sat down in the chairs and looked at Peter.
"Well…how did it go?" Peter asked.
"It was lame Peter, nothing changed." Shelby said. Peter just sighed.
"Well then I've made my decision. Jessica since you're still pretty much new here, I'm going to reassign you a group." Peter said as he flipped through some papers.
"What? No I don't want a new group." Jessica sat up in her chair.
"I'm sorry Jessica but I said there would be an alternative and this is it. Your new group is the wind dancers." Peter said. "And Scott and Shelby, Kitchen for the next two days." Peter said. "You can go now."
Scott and Shelby got up to leave but Jessica stayed right there. Scott had to go back and get her.
"Come on Jessica." Together they walked out of the office. Jared was sitting in a chair outside the office.
"Hey Jessica, Scott." He stood up. "Hey Scott I didn't know you came here." Jared said.
"Yeah, I know. I gotta go unpack Jessica, I will be back." Scott started to walk away but Jessica grabbed his wrist. He stopped and looked at here. "I won't be long." He pulled his arm away and walked away. Jessica looked at Jared.
"How about a hug for your step bro. Huh?" Jared said.
"What are you doing here?" Jessica asked.
"I miss you. It's really lonely around the house." Jared said ginning.
"You make me sick." Jessica said and turned to walk away. He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Let go." Jessica said. She pulled away. "Stay away from me or I'll tell what you did to me." Jessica warned.
"What are you talking about? You came on to me. Besides who would believe you. Dad and Linda didn't." He grinned an evil grin. Jessica had to bite her tongue and remember she was in front of Peter's office so she wouldn't hit him.
"Shelby, wait up." Scott yelled. Shelby didn't stop. He grabbed her arm. "Shelby talk to me."
"TALK TO YOU? I can't even stand to look at you right now. Do me a favor and stay away. I'm not in the mood." Shelby walked into the girl's dorm. Daisy was sitting on the bed.
"Hi Shelby. How was your wonderful vacation in the woods?" Daisy asked.
"Jessica isn't part of our group anymore." Shelby said. Juliette was in the bathroom and came running out.
"WHAT? Why?" She asked. "Jessica was really sweet." Juliette said.
"Oh queenie, mind your own business and go finish barfing." Shelby said.
"For your information I was not barfing. I was making something for my Boyfriend. You know the one that doesn't have any other girlfriends." Juliette went into the bathroom a little scared Shelby would attack. Shelby just rolled her eyes.
Meanwhile back at the boy's dorm, Scott plopped down on his bed.
"Yo meat, what happened out there?" Auggie asked.
"Don't worry about it. What happened in the woods is none your business." Scott said. He took off his shoes and closed his eyes.
"Yeah well its good to have you back meat." Auggie went to open the door and walked out. When he was outside he saw Jessica and some guy.
"Jared please just leave me alone." Jessica said.
"No, I'm here for a week. So how has it been?" Jared said.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Jessica turned to walk away when he grabbed her arm tightly and turned her around.
"I noticed Scott was all that happy to see his dear ole pal. What did you say to him." He started to squeeze her arm tightly.
"Ow, nothing, let go of me." Jessica went to pull away.
"If you say anything, you will be sorry." Jared said.
"YO MEAT, LAY OFF HER." Auggie yelled. Jessica and Jared looked up and Jared let go. Scott heard Auggie yell from inside and got up and ran out. He saw Jessica and Jared. He ran down to them.
"What's going on?" Scott said.
"Nothing, we were just talking." Jared said and looked at Jessica. "Right little sis?" He said.
She looked up at Scott. "Yeah."
"Jessica go pack your things and I'll help you move them." Scott said. Jessica ran to her cabin.
"Hey Jared, don't hurt her ok?" Scott said. Jared looked at him. Scott went the dorm and got his shoes. Jared stood there and looked at the boy's dorm and watched Auggie follow Scott inside. He knew Jessica must have said something. Now he had to make sure they wouldn't.
