centerbChapter 2: Shelby/b/center

"Dear Shelby,

I miss you. I miss you so much. I miss the way your eyes twinkle in the moonlight, I miss how cute you looked whenever you were angry, I miss you in general, But most of all I miss the way we could be together. I want to see you so bad but I know you would be busy and have no time for me with your job and all. I had to sneak your last letter past my dad. He says that if I was going to stay in contact with you then I would have to move out.

Last night I was sitting on my bed looking at the picture of all us cliffhangers on the day of graduation. I wasn't looking at the camera... ha. (Scott and Shelby were in the front with Daisy and Ezra behind them and Juliette and Auggie behind them. They were holding hands and Peter and Scott were looking at each other and Scott had a grin on. Peter was telling them to smile and Scott looked back as the camera clicked.) Those were the days huh?

Well I gotta go and eat with my dad and the skank. Yeah they got back together again. I hope to see you real soon. Maybe we can make time for it. Just write back or call me if you need me.

Love, Scott!! "

A tear ran down Shelby's already tear streaked face. That was the last letter she had gotten from Scott about a year ago. She had sent him a reply but she guessed that his father found the letter and Scott never got it. That was when they lost contact. Shelby had moved because the apartments that she was living in were being boarded up. She moved into a nice apartment and lived there now. She felt bad because maybe Scott had tried to come and see her and she wasn't there.

Finally after 2 hours of endless crying and feeling bad for herself Shelby got up and took a shower and went out to the pool hall in hopes of some fun.

Once she got there she met up with Chad. Chad was a cute guy with blonde spiky hair. He had on a Nike shirt and a pair of black baggy pants. Shelby had guessed that Chad liked her but she could never give up Scott. NEVER. "Hey Chad!" Shelby exclaimed. "Hey hun" Chad yelled back. He was in the middle of a game of pool with Mark, his friend. "Hey Shel!" Mark said. "Care to join us?" Chad asked. "Sure!" Shelby replied and jogged over to meet them. Little did she know who was about to show up!.......
