Don't Take It All Away

**Some one asked me this before so I'm gonna go ahead and say that Kristin's b-day is March 10, 1989 [like mine] but I guess since she's 12 at this point in the story is 1990 but whatever...Math's not my thing..When I started writing the Kristin stories that was true...**

"What are you doing here?!" Scott exclaimed, walking up to her. "Geez, no hello's or anything?" Kristin asked sweetly. "No..And I don't think Peter's gonna be saying hello when he sees you either!"

"He's not gonna see me!" Kristin said, glaring at Cole. "She hitch hiked here." Cole told Scott. Kristin kicked his shin. "Oww!" Cole exclaimed. "Well you shouldn't have hitch hiked!" Cole whined, rubbing his shin. She threatened to kick him again when Shelby showed up.

"Oh, no..." Kristin moaned and slumped back in the bushes. "Let's all just throw a party for God's sake!" She yelled, throwing her hands in the air in exasperation. "YOu suck at secrets!" she accused Cole.

"Well, well, well. My favorite lil' runaway! This sure is interesting!" She exclaimed. "Shove it, Shelby...Don't tell Peter he'll just make me go back!" Kristin whined. "Quit whining!" Scott exclaimed. "I'm not whining!"

Peter and Sophie were talking to the police men who had come to Horizon to keep a look-out for Kristin when Peter noticed that Cole, Scott and Shelby had-all within about 5 minutes of eachother-gone to the back of the boys dorm and hadn't come out.

He smiled at the officers and politely excused himself and made his way there.

He heard talking and arguing amongst the three and of a fourth person as he neared there. Shelby turned around when she heard crunching leaves. "Peter!" she exclaimed. "Kristin!" he yelled. She took one look at him and ran.
