2 Guys 2 Girls and the Cliffhangers.
Chapter 2: Day 2- Nate's Attitude!
*****
The Cliffhangers were all in the lodge. Scott and Shelby were making googly eyes at each other. Auggie and Juliette were talking about one of Auggie's paintings. Daisy had just finished hitting Ezra upside the head for making a flirtatious remark about Taylor. Cole and Katie were just lounging around doing homework together.
"Okay guys! These will be your buddy's for the next 10 days!" Peter called out to the Cliffhangers
"What do you mean by 'buddy's" Katie asked.
"Well each of you will be into groups of 2 and will each have a kid with you to council, teach, and just talk to or comfort." Sophie said reading Peter's mind. Peter smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Wait! Were not gonna baby sit them without something in return!" Shelby remarked.
"Well how's about if you don't you will be on shuns for the rest of your natural life.... and then some!" Peter said smiling.
"CHILDREN! Come and give your auntie Shelby a hug!" Shelby said, sarcasm dripping from her words.
Nate just scoffed. "I for one agree with blondie, over there. This is really quite stupid and I just want to be left alone right now." He said walking out of the room. Not really knowing where he was going.
Daisy watched the boy go out and opened her mouth to say something.
"Wait, you are really gonna trust us with other lives?" She asked.
"And they're human one's at that! Wow Peter you've changed." Shelby finished her sentence for her.
Peter asked Sophie to go and find Nate because he wasn't done informing everyone on all of the events that were going to happen over the next 10 days. There was a break while Sophie went to look for Nate, all of the Cliffhangers were on one side of the room talking to one another and the younger kids were on the other side talking to one another
"This sucks, why do we have to be here if they don't want us to be here?" asked Caitlen. The others just shrugged. Nate came back in a few minutes later with an annoyed look on his face followed by Sophie.
"Ok, here are the groups of two Scott and Shelby, Juliette and Auggie, Cole and Katie, and Ezra and Daisy.
They realy didnt mind there groups at all. They would have paired up like that if they had a choice in it.
"Cole and Katie you have Jakob, Scott you and Shelby have Taylor, Juliette and Auggie you will be paired up with Caitlen, and last but not least" Taylor resented that remark "Ezra and Daisy you will have Nate"
"Where are the 'wee ones' going to sleep?" asked Daisy sarcastically
"Well, since there are extra beds in the dorms I don't see a problem with them sleeping there." replied Peter
"What?!" Scott protested
"That is whack! Just to let you know I'm not cleaning up any beds that have been peed in" said Auggie
"Yeah" Ezra added, shyly. After that was said all of the guys went to the dorm angrily.
*****
"Ok since you two have to sleep in here I want you all to know that I don't take kindly to little kids jumping in my bed after a nightmare." Scott said. Jakob held his head down knowing that wouldn't be a problem for him to get used to. His father never realy cared about him.
"What's your problem!" Nate asked. "Your the freak! You probaly have more nightmares then us! We haven't done drugs and crap to give us the nightmares." Nate finished.
"Yo, Nate? Just chill and don't let Scott get to you." Auggie told Nate.
"Yeah, whatever. I just don't like the way you guys are treating us. We haven't done anything to you. Most of our parents have sent us here against our will too. At least you guys are old enough to just kick your parents butt's and say no sometimes without getting a freaking spanking!" Nate said.
Scott scoffed. "Yeah right. I guess you dont know about most of us then. Most of the kids' problems here can be traced back to a parents. I know mine can." Nate ingnored him. He knew alright.
*****
"Okay! This is the bathroom and these are your beds and these are your drawrs to put your clothes in!" Juliette said excited that she was going to have new bunk mates.
"Um... Were not stupid. I think we can see that." Caitlen said and in an instant Juliettes smile was wiped away.
"Well fine! You dont have to take my advice or anything." She said.
"Sorry for me interupting, but what advice" Taylor asked.
"Ohhh just never mind." Juliette said flopping down on the bed.
Daisy looked up from her book and took off her headphones. "Want me to read your tarot cards?" She asked.
"Um, Daiz dont scare the kids. They are young and impresionable" Shelby said smirking.
"I agree" Taylor said
*****
While the boys were getting settled in Scott and Auggie were doing homework while Ezra was reading a book.
"So what is it like, living here for the whole year?" asked Jakob trying to start a conversation
"It sucks" said Scott without looking up from his homework, after he said that Cole came in
"Hey, what were you doing?" asked Auggie
"A stupid writing assignment for Peter, he wanted me to get 'insparation'" replied Cole. Jakob looked up and thought to himself, 'this is going to be a long 10 days if we don't establish a relationship like the older ones.'
"Hey how come our beds aren't already made?" said Nate in a whiny voice. He expected the best.
"Because this isn't a hotel" replied Scott angerly
"Well they should be for as much money as we pay to come here" protested Nate.
"That's it!" yelled Scott as he snapped his pencil in half "I can't take this, I will talk to you guys at dinner" said Scott walking out
"Was it something I said?" Nate asked shrugging his shoulder.
" Will 'ya just shut up already!" screamed Jakob to Nate.
*****
Scott knocked on the door of the girls dorm, Juliette opened and said "I'll get her" as she rolled her eyes. When Shelby came to the door she said
"what are you doing here?"
"I had to get out, one of those little brats were getting on my nerves. Are you free?" he replied
"Yeah we're on our way to dinner right now" she told him.
*****
Later at dinner all of the Cliffhangers were all siting at one table and the little kids were sitting at another table.
"what is this stuff made of ?" asked Caitlen
" I am guessing nothing that is edible" replied Taylor. They all seemed to let out a little chuckle.
"Does anyone else think this whole little kid thing is stupid" asked David
"For once I think David is right" said Cole, everyone looked at David and laughed. Scott, who was sitting next to Shelby knocked her fork on the ground, when she went down to pick it up Scott also went down and said
"You Me docks midnight?"
"Always" replied Shelby excitedly.
Peter walked into the cafeteria and he looked over to the Cliffhangers and saw that the little kids were all alone at another table. Peter walked over to the cliffhangers and said
"I wanted you guys to get to know your buddies and you didn't, so now we will be going on a little hike."
*****
It was 10 minutes until midnight and Shelby was franticaly getting ready for her readevu with Scott. She wanted midnight to come so fast, instead it came very slow.
The time was finaly here and Shelby cautiously stepped out of the dorm with a flashlight. When she saw that the coast was clear she jogged out to the docks. Scott was already there and he was fidling with his shoe lace.
"Hey Cowboy!" Shelby said using her nickname for Scott.
"Hey, beautiful" Scott replyed.
"So uh... you wanna "talk" Shelby asked. They both knew what "talk" meant so Scott leaned in to kiss Shelby.
*****
Taylor woke up startled. She heard something. But she couldn't be sure if it was in her dream or reality. She disregarded it coming to the conclusion that it was irelevant. She tryed to lay back down to go back to sleep but instead decided that she was going to take a 'midnight stroll'. She hopped off the bed and put on her sandals and walked outside.
She made her way down to the docks somehow and saw two figures sitting there connected at the mouth swaping spit. She walked closer and realised that it was Scott and Shelby.
"EWWW guys get a room!" She explained. Scott jumped causing himself to fall into the lake. Shelby lauged and pulled him out.
"Isn't it past your bedtime Kiddy Poo?" Shelby asked smirking.
"Yeah but isn't it past yours too?" She said. They knew that they had been caught and Scott needed to get back to the dorm and change before he caught pnewmonia. Shelby put her hands on each of Taylor's shoulders scooting her back to the dorm. Scott shook the water off like a dog so he wouldnt track it into the dorm. He quickly but quietly got dressed in some dry clothes and got back into bed.
*****
"Okay! Guys its time to wake up!" Sophie yelled into the girls dorm.
The girls groaned but got up anyways. Each girl sat up in bed and looked at each other. They were playing a game of who would get into the bathroom first. Abruptly, Shelby jumped up and shot into the bathroom locking it before anyone knew what had happened.
*****
Meanwhile, Peter was pulling the covers off of the guys who refused to get up. He walked over to David's bed and pulled the blankets off of him. David shot up and yelled.
"I dont wanna go to school today, mommy!" He said sarcasticaly holding back a smirk that was forming on his face. This got the other guys lauging and that woke them up.
*****
An hour later all of the Cliffhangers plus the 4 kids filed into the mess hall to eat.
"What the heck would this be?" Nate asked the Tracker that was serving.
"Your food. You don't have to eat it but if you want to survive here little one, you might want to." The boy said harshly dumping some slop onto his tray. It splattered onto Nates shirt.
"Do you know who I am!" Nate asked loudly.
"Lemme guess.... umm... Cher! Thats it! Your Cher aren't you?" He asked sarcasticaly.
"Thats it!" Nate said jumping onto the tray sliding thingy and looking into the boys eyes, icly. "Do NOT talk to me like that. I am NOT a fellow screw up and I do NOT expect you to treat me like one!" He screamed.
"Okay! I will NOT do those things!" The boy said mimiking him. Nate pulled his fist back getting ready to slam the boy in the face but before he could, Auggie grabbed him by the leggs and pulled him down easily.
"Didn't I tell you to chill?!" he exclaimed.
"Shut up homeboy! I dont wanna hear it!" He screamed trying to get back at the Tracker who was lauging his head off behind the counter.
"Look if Peter catches you fighting then he is gonna send you home." Auggie said. Nates little muscles tensed up at the mention of home.
"I-I dont want to go home." Nate said. Auggie could feel Nate's fear. He wondered why he was acting like this. 'Maybe he just hates his house.' Auggie thought. He didn't wanna push Nate for an answer since he wasn't his responsibility Caitlen was. So he spotted her and went down to sit by her and Juliette.
Nate grabbed his tray giving the Trailblazer an evil glare that said 'this isn't over yet' and the kid just burst out lauging even more.
*****
After breakfast Peter summoned the kids and the Cliffhangers all out to the wall.
"Thats okay Peter. You don't have to worry about me. Im fine right where I am" Shelby said when she heard about it.
"Shel, you have to get over your fear of hights sometime." Sophie explained.
"Yeah whatever.
*****
At the wall the kids looked over it.
"Isn't this a little big?" Nate asked.
"No, your a little short" Scott said while smirking. He didn't like the fact that Nate had a snobby comment for everything anyone said or did.
"Okay guys, enough. What I'm gonna have you guys do is one of you Cliffhangers will climb the wall with your kid telling you where to go. You will put on this blind fold and let them guide you. Scott or Shelby one of you will go first." Peter explained.
Scott looked at Shelby and imediately knew that she wouldn't WANT to climb anything so he voulnteerd.
"I'll go" He said. Shelby smiled at him.
"Okay, Jakob just shout where he should go. Simple as that." Peter said nicely. Jakob was a little nervous but he looked up and plotted the course in his head. It didn't take him long since he was good at math. Scott got harnessed up and started the wall.
"Okay, Scott put your right foot to the left and slightly up and you will find the first one." He yelled out. When Scott was halfway up the wall Nate smirked.
"Okay Scott go with your foot up and slightly to the left" But when Jakob said left Nate yelled right at the same time.
Scott put his foot to the right and then realised his mistake but it was too late. He fell about a quarter down the wall.
"NATE!!! I'm gonna kill you!" Scott yelled. Jakob was relieved that Scott didn't blame him .
The rest of the climbs went well after Scott scaled the thing. Once he got down he held in his anger cause after all Nate was 7 years younger then him and he would probaly kill him with one blow.
*****
They all went back to their dorms after they got done with the wall. Shelby and Daisy sat on their beds talking to each other. Taylor saw them and came over and sat down on the bed in front of them. It was Kat's bed but she was off to college now. (By the way David is not here right now. Were not sure why he isn't there but he's just not. He inconvinients our story by being there cause he is an ass. lol) She looked at Shelby and knew something wasn't right. She knew that Shelby was hiding something.
"Your hiding something" Taylor said. Shelby laughed.
"Sounds like what you said to me a while ago doesn't it Daisy. Remember the whole mask talk we had?" She said. "Correction I WAS hiding something. Now its out and I guess you'll find out when you do so I'm not gonna tell you." She finished.
"Okay" Taylor said and they started to talk about how Ezra keeps making flirtatious remarks to Daisy.
