Temptation Island
Chapter 8
...Back at the Homestead

Tia knocked as she walked into Scott's room. She saw Scott shriveled up on the floor with his eyes closed. He was rocking himself gently.

"Scott?" Tia said hoping not to scare him. "Scott, are you okay?"
Scott didn't even look up, he just kept rocking himself. Then, Tia sat down next to him and put her arms around his shoulders. Scott pulled his head up and looked over at Tia.

"I just want to go home. Back with Shelby, back where we belong."

Tia smiled at him. "Scott, what happened? All us girls were sitting by the pool waiting for you guys to get back, and then Auggie came up and said that you were really upset."

Scott stood up suddenly and walked over to the table. "I'll tell you what's happening. Shelby doesn't love me anymore, an she's gonna leave me for some failure musician. That' what's going on." Scott yelled and the threw a vause at the door. He smiled watching it as it shattered onto the floor.

Tia got up and smiled. "Scott, I know and you know that Shelby loves you. So, I'm wondering what on earth gave you the idea that she was going to dump you?"

"Because Conner said she was."

"Oh, c'mon Scott. You have got to be kidding me. Just because one little jerk says he's gonna be the one going home with your girl, doesn't mean he is. I mean, that guy doesn't even hold a candle to you. He's just being a guy."

Scott looked at her for a minute or two. "Maybe you're right." He said more to himself than to Tia. "Maybe you're right."

"Listen honey, I know I'm right. Now you better get your butt off the floor and come dancing with me before I have to hurt you."

Scott shoved Tia playfully as they walked out of the room and to the pool area. As soon as they reached it Scott was swarmed by girls. Finally, after a little mosying, Scott found a girl to talk to.

"So, what's your favorite book?" Elizabeth asked Scott.

"Hmm, I would have to say, 'Frankenstein', by Mary Shelley."

"Really? Why?"

"Well, let's just say the book holds some true meaning. What about you?"

"Well, I really like, 'Oliver Twist.'"

"Ahh, well, what else are you interested in besides books?"

"Coffee. It's the only way to get me through the day...


Back at the Girls' Island

"I think Hayden is so cute, and sweet too. He's my choice for date number two for sure." Shelby told Daisy and Juliet.

"Well, mine is definetly James. I think. I mean, he's really cut and down to earth." Juliet said.

"Yeah, and the fact that he'll give you a free massage doesn't mean anything to you?" Daisy asked her.

"Well...

A/N: Here's another one. I know this doesn't make up for everything, but I'm working on it.
