Chapter III

'Okay, calm down…Daisy wouldn't do this to me no matter how jealous she was. Or would she?' Shelby thought to herself. 'Besides, Scott wouldn't do anything stupid like that since we're engaged.'

Shelby lay awake, thinking everything out. 'I'm just being stupid,' she laughed to herself. She finally fell asleep around 2:00 in the morning.

That morning she didn't see any sign of Daisy or Scott. 'There has to be a good reason for this,' she said almost aloud.

"Hey Shel. What's the matter?" asked Auggie curiously.

"Nothing…uh, have you seen Scott or Daisy lately?" she asked.

"I may have, I may not have," he said.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Classified I'm afraid. No further questions," he said and walked away.

'I have to be dreaming. Did he say 'classified'? That's not like Auggie. Everyone's turned weird.'

Then, she remembered her 18th birthday was coming up.

'At least I have something to look forward to.' She said to herself.

She walked back to her dorm and pulled out her journal.

Dear Journal,

I can't believe this…EVERYONE'S ACTING WEIRD! I can't stand it. Scott and Daisy are missing and I'm almost positive they're together. I don't believe it. It's bad enough your best friend betrays you but your fiancée goes Benedict Arnold on you, you've got to get even. I've got things to do. I'll write later. (Oops, I forgot to put the day at the top…oh well)
