"Wow he sure got over me fast didn't he?" Shelby said watching Scott.

"Who?" Daisy replied knowing exactly what she was talking about.

"Scott."

"What do you mean?"

"Well he's been walking around with a smile on his face as big as Texas."

"Has he, I haven't noticed." She said hoping Shelby would buy it.

"You know what I'm talking about. He's been friendly, cracking jokes, talking to any girl that moves."

"Shelby he's not over you."

"What do you me? How do you know? Have you seen the way he's been acting?"

"I have to tell you something." She had to get it off her chest.

"What is it?" Shelby said getting worried.

"You know last week on the quest, the second day, when everyone blew up at Scott and you walked away?"

"Yeah, what happened?"

"Well, um, Jill kinda blurted everything out." Daisy said getting softer as she said it.

"What?" Shelby asked flabbergasted.

"She yelled at Scott and he figured everything out. It's not her fault she didn't straight out tell him. It was just he was being a jerk and she chewed him out, and he figured it out."

"What did she say exactly."

"Well she told him that he was "Lucky," because he had parents and friends and someone who would do anything for him and give up all their happiness for them. I tried to cover by saying Peter but I think he figured it out because he said, "let's go," and he walked away with a smirk."

Shelby just sat there thinking for a while. What was she going to do now? He knew and he was still around. She had to do something to get him to go back home.

"Shelby, like my mom used to tell me when she was sober, "True love is two people growing together over time." If you guys are meant to be you will grow together not apart. Whatever your decision, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be." With that daisy walked away, leaving Shelby to think alone.

Shelby is right, she thought to herself, Scott has to grow. I have to do something to get him to go home.

~~~~~~~~~ Group ~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ok guys, tomorrow is Community Service day. I'm going to go back over everyone's selection and see if any changes need to be made. Ok?" peter said looking down at his clipboard.

No on said anything so he continued, "Ok, Auggie and Jill, you two are the painters in this group. You guys will be leaving at 10 o'clock with the art teacher, Mr. Dobbins."

Auggie looked at Jill and smiled. He knew he was going to have fun with her. He wondered if she shared his passion for art. Then he looked at Jules and started getting a feeling in the bottom of his stomach. The same one he's had been getting all week, and it didn't feel good either.

"Ok daisy and Ezra, you guys are going to be tutoring the little kids at the library. Jeff will be taking that group and you guys will be leaving at 10 o'clock because the library doesn't open 'till eleven." Peter continued.

Peter knew they signed up to be in the group with Jeff because he was easy to sneak away from if they wanted to be alone. But he also knew they both loved little kids so they would get something out of it hopefully.

"Juliet, you are the only one from the cliffhangers going to the animal shelter. Sophie is taking that group and you guys will be leaving at 10 o'clock."

Juliet was beaming. She couldn't wait to play with the animals.

"Scott and David you guys signed up for the planted of well, plants. You guys are pretty lucky because I'm taking that group. We will be the first group to leave. We get on the bus at 9 o'clock. Where some clothes you don't mind getting dirty or ruined."

Scott and David were both regretting their decision now. They thought they were getting the easiest one. David thought it was great because he didn't want to deal with having to feel sorry for people or animals and Scott thought it would be pretty easy just to do some manual labor. Now though, they had to get up the earliest and have Peter watching their every move all day.

"Shelby, because you were sick you didn't get to choose what group you were in. they only groups that have room in it is the planting group. So you will join Scott, David, and me tomorrow."

Both Scott and David were perking up now. Scott thought this was a great opportunity to talk to Shelby about getting back together and David was hoping there would be a fight of some kind. Shelby on the other hand was anything less than happy. She didn't want to have to watch Scott all day. But she would make the best of it.

"How come nobody in your group picked to go hand out food?" Peter asked looking at the group.

"We already do enough of that here at school." David said making everyone else laugh.

"He looked at David with a stern face, then continue. Ok, I hope you guys have fun tomorrow, and remember, the same rules ply, including inappropriate touching." He said looking at Ezra and daisy. Once again everyone laughed and with that the left.

Shelby couldn't sleep all night. She just kept thinking about what she could do to get Scott to go. When she finally fell asleep it seemed like five minutes later it was time to get up.

"Rise and shine." Sophie said cheerily, peeing into the girls' dorm. They all started getting for the day. They were all actually excited except for of course, Shelby.
