5. Scott

Chapter 4

After seeing most of the campus Colleen was a little happier. The school was a neat place, and it had a lot of activities.

"OK, you'll meet the Cliffhangers here in the cafeteria," Juliette explained. "Oh, and a couple things to know, Shelby's bitter to EVERYONE, Scott is with Shelby so I advise you to not put the moves on him, Daisy hates enthusiastic people.....I don't think you'll have a problem with her, and Auggie's mine. Oh and David.....well, you'll soon find out what David is like."

"Yeah thanks for the advice 'Jules' but don't presume that I'm here to infringe on all your stupid lives. I'll be gone before you know it, so stop acting like I'm TRYING to be best buds with you!" Colleen marched ahead of her in the hall.

Juliette rolled her eyes and followed her, ~She's exactly like Shelby, lord knows we don't need another Shelby around here~ she thought.

Colleen followed Juliette to a table where the Cliffhangers sat. She scanned them all, then stopped on a blonde girl who was looking at her plate and miserably pushing around the food on it and scowling.

"Ok guys, this is our new edition to the group," Juliette said, "This is Colleen. Colleen this is Ezra," she pointed to a guy who was gazing at her as if he wasn't entirely there. "This is David, Auggie, Daisy, Kat, Scott, and Shelby."

Shelby was the blonde girl, and she looked up at Colleen blankly, "Welcome to Horizon Colleen, I'm sure you'll love it here, especially after Juliette's attempt at making this place sound exciting!" She rolled her eyes, got up, and left.

Scott studied Colleen, she had no expression on her face at all.....maybe a hint of pain. She was pretty though, with shoulder length blonde hair, and blue-brown eyes. He guessed she was about 5'10, she was tall.

Colleen turned to Scott, "Is there any reason why your staring at me?'

Scott laughed, "Ouch, touchy! Yeah, you resemble this freak mutant I saw in a sci-fi movie once." He shook his head and chuckled. Auggie laughed.

Colleen felt the rage build up in her and she lunged over the table, and snatched Scott's shirt into a tight fist, pulling his face close, "If you have a problem with me, I don't give a shit, just keep your ugly mouth shut!"

Scott was shocked, he just sat there staring at her with wide eyes. Her eyes burned into his, reflecting an angry glare. "Whatever," he stammered and held his hands up in defence.

Colleen let go, noticing the silence that had formed throughout the hall, along with many stares.

From across the room, Shelby watched in fascination, and then caught a glimpse of white on Colleen's wrists before her sleeves were jerked back down. Nobody else seemed to notice. Colleen walked toward the food line, grabbed a tray, and stepped in the front of the line. She watched her closely, Colleen looked so much like......no, of course not.
