Author's note: Thank you so much for the reviews guys!



(Shelby just stared at Lenin with wide terrified eyes and a small smile crept up on Lenin's face when he saw Shelby's expression)

Scott: uh Lenin you know Shelby?


Lenin: Yea I guess you could say that.


Scott: How though?

(Before Lenin could get anything out Shelby quickly interrupted)

Shelby: It really makes no difference how we know eachother, it's really not that important. Peter I need to get something out of my dorm for the hike can I go get it now?

Peter: Of course Shel, just hurry up I wan't to get this hike going.

(Everyone was still extremely confused, why was Shelby so hesitant to say how she knew Lenin?)

Shelby: *Oh god what am I going to do? I have to be on a hike with him for a whole weekend, I don't think I can do this.*

(Everyone was now ready to go and they started off on a small trail near the picnic tables.)

Scott: So how do you know Shelby man? I mean I would think I would know her too if you knew her. I had never seen her before until I came here.

Lenin: Do you remember those two months when I was suppose to go and stay with my mom because my dad said it was "for my own good"? Well that's when, how should I say this , when we "met".

Scott: What do you mean "met", I don't get it?

(Once again just as Lenin was about to answer Scott's question Peter interrupted them to tell them that the first campsite was for Shelby, Scott, and Lenin)

Peter: Well off you go guys, all of you have everything you need for the weekend and we are giving you a walkie talkie to get a hold of either me or Sophie with, and remember it's only for emergencies.

Scott: Yea, yea we know the drill Peter.

(With that being said, everyone else walked off with Peter and Sophie to the next campsite, but Peter still had an uneasy feeling about leaving Lenin and Shelby alone together after he had seen Shelby's reaction to Lenin's arrival)

Peter: I don't know about this one Soph.

Sophie: What do you mean?

Peter: You saw the look on Shelby's face when she saw Lenin. She was terrified. If I would have known that I would of never let him come with us, let alone visit Scott.

Sophie: You couldn't of known Peter, there was no way. Shelby is a tough girl, she can do this, she has got to face it sooner or later.

Peter: I just hope your right Soph, I just hope your right.

(Back at Scott, Shelby and Lenin's campsite, they were all getting their tents ready for the night. Lenin would sleep with Scott and Shelby would have her own tent)

Scott: Hey you guy's its getting pretty late, we mine as well hit the sacks.

Lenin: Sound good to me, what do you think Shelby?

Shelby: I uh think I'm just gonna sit out here a little while longer.

Scott: Alright, suit yourself.

(Both boys went back to their tent but not before Lenin gave Shelby a wink that sent cold uneasy shivers down her spine. Shelby sat by the dying fire, thinking.)

Shelby: *How could he know I was here, or was it just pure luck for him? I never wanted to see those eyes ever again. No one else knows, I can't do this alone.*





Again I'm really really sorry this is so short, but I have tons of school stuff to do. You guys know the drill about my 3 reviews. Next Chapter: Will we finally find out about Lenin and Shelby? And someone finds out about Shelbys past in an unusual way.
