I do not own any of these characters they are from the show Higher Ground
Sorry for all the misspelled words I posted the wrong copy
At any free time the cliffhangers had they were writing their paper on Shelby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Group ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone sat in a circle except Shelby and an empty chair that was facing her.
Sophie: Ok guys I hope all of you finished your papers. This is how it is going to work. The person going will sit in the empty chair across from Shelby. They will read their paper. Then Shelby will be able to make a comment and then anyone else can make their comments. Any questions?
Everyone just nodded their heads no.
Sophie: ok no questions. Who wants to go first?
"I'll go," Juliet said very enthusiastically.
Sophie: Ok good, start whenever you want.
Juliet sat in front of Shelby. Shelby was very anxious to get this over with. She wanted to know what everyone thought of her but at the same time, she was scared of what people would say.
Juliet: ok I'm gonna start now. When Shelby first got here I really didn't like her. She always had a smart remark and did whatever she could to be mean or rude. She would call me queenie and twig. It made me feel bad because I wanted her to like me. Then she started being a little nicer and nicer. Then about three weeks ago she stopped all that. She still calls me queenie but now I know it's a nickname from a friend. Not a rude name from someone who doesn't like me.
Juliet's paper just went on to talk about how she's glad that they are friends and that Shelby had made a very positive change.
Sophie: Ok Juliet that was very good. Shelby do you have any comments.
Shelby was in deep thought about what she said. Juliet was right. Now queenie was just something she said from habit. Not something to be mean. She was also glad that they had become friends. She had never told that to Juliet though.
"Juliet, I'm your right, we have become friends" she paused for a moment and looked down at the ground, "and I'm glad we have become friends, really glad" She looked up to see Juliet smiling. She was glad she told Juliet that she was grateful for her friendship.
"Does anyone else have any other comments?" sophie said looking around the room.
" No, ok then who wants to go next?"
Daisy slowly put her hand up
"Ok Daisy your turn"
Daisy didn't say anything she just started reading her paper.
"When I first got here, you didn't have any real friends. You didn't trust anyone and put up a shield to block anyone form knowing the real you. Then slowly, little by little, you let me in. You told me about Patty and you helped me with my mother's death. You become a great friend. You let me in and you let me help you. You let me see your soul. You taught me that friends are two people that share one soul."
Daisy continued to talk about how great a friend Shelby had become and how open and honest she was now. The whole time Shelby had tears in her eyes and was trying not to cry in front of everyone. She now knew how Juliet felt when She had told Juliet that she valued her friendship because daisy hardly ever told Shelby what their friendship meant to her.
"Shelby do you have any comments for Daisy?" Sophie said.
Shelby just nodded her head no. She knew that daisy knew exactly what she was thinking.
They continued through everyone the same way. Ezra talked about how he used to like her and now he was just really glad she was is friend. Auggie talked about how he was glad she was nicer not only to him but to everyone. David talked about the same stuff everyone said. Everyone added their own personal touches, but they all said the same thing. The said she used to be so rude, then she slowly got nicer, then three weeks ago she turned into a truly warm and friendly person. Then it was Scott's turn.
Scott had been dreading having to read his paper in front of everyone since the second they got the assignment, but he was the last one left and he knew he had to go. He walked over to the chair without making eye contact with Shelby, just looking down at his shoes. Then right before he started talking he finally looked at her and she gave him a reassuring nod.
"When I first got here, I thought you were just some rude blond who made sarcastic remarks about everything. I was wrong. You slowly became the most important person in my life. You changed with me. You opened up to me and became a great friend. When I needed your help you were there to help me through it. When you needed help and I wasn't there for you, but you forgave me. You chipped away at your shell and let me in. You taught me how to love and you learned how to be loved. You learned how to be honest and to be honest without having an attitude. You have had a total 180 turn in your attitude. You went from someone I wanted nothing to do with, to someone I couldn't live without."
As soon as Scott said "When" she was crying. She loved him and knew he loved her. She would never forget the words he just said to her.
"Shelby, do you have any comments for Scott's paper," Sophie said knowing that Shelby would have a comment.
"Yes," Shelby wiped the tears form her face, "Since you got here I have felt myself turning into a new person. You have changed me Scott. You are the first person I ever opened up to. I have felt the change even more since you said you came back because you loved me at the Morp. You are the first person besides Jess who has ever truly loved me."
While Shelby said this, Scott and Shelby looked deep into each others eyes never losing the connection even to blink. As soon as she was finished Scott hugged her.
"Break it up you two" Sophie said, hating to ruin the moment, but knew she had to.
Shelby and Scott let go of each other reluctantly.
"Any comments?"
Nobody had any comments, but they were all thinking the same thing. Scott was the reason Shelby had changed.
"Ok then group is over. Turn in your papers to me. For tomorrow night you will need to talk about how Ezra changed." Sophie said
~~~~~~ Peter's Office ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello honey, I found out the reason to Shelby's sudden change in group tonight"
"You did, she told you?" peter asked for curiously
"No not exactly, but the changed happened three weeks ago, right after the Morp. Shelby said in group that Scott said for the first time at the Morp that he loved her and that he was the first person ever to truly love her."
"Wow, that could explain why she has changed, but that makes me nervous"
"Why peter?"
" If they ever break up, Shelby could be even worse then she was before she came here. If he broke up with her, she might feel like she had his love and then wasn't good enough to keep it. Before she just never felt love before."
"I see what you mean Peter, but I don't think he's the only reason for her change and those two seem so good together I don't think they'll break up."
~~~~~~~~~ Docks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Scott, did you really mean every thing you said tonight?"
I know this is a really corny story so far but its just setting up for things to come. I hope you like it. Please review but I'll continue whether you do or don't. I fyou have any suggestions or questions e-mail me or jsut put them in the review.
