Love. If you would have asked me about love a few weeks ago, I would have showed the famous Shelby smirk. "Love is only for people in Disney movies," I would have replied with a roll of my eyes. And maybe it is. But I know now that it actually exists. Who would have thoughtthat the ice queen herself would fall in love? I certainly never saw it coming. But he came. He just showed up from nowhere and stole my heart. Now you must understand something. I'm not a freakin romantic, and I don't always talk this way. I'm not friendly to anybody unless they're a guy with a nice bod. Then I switch to seductive mode. That's how I get guys. I eye the one I want, flash a sexy smile, and they fall to my knees. That's how it's always been…until now. When Scott showed up at Horizon, I knew I had to have him; the boy is total eye candy. This annoying girl Juliette liked him, too and tried to compete with me for him. At the time, I laughed. The little princess who knew NOTHING about guys was trying to fight for him…against ME. A guy had never turned me down, and I surely showed each one a good time. And Queenie was taking the whole "He'll like me for my personality" approach to the situation. I remember telling her, "That's in fantasyland, Princess. In reality all guys want the same thing, and, unlucky for you, I happen to have it." So we fought for him. I was expecting it to be an easy win, but it wasn't as easy as I thought. My advances on him were brushed off. He told me he was interested. At first I was discouraged, but I didn't show it. He called me every bad name imaginable, and for the first time, I felt defeated. No one had ever called me mean names before; everyone seemed too scared, too. But Scott wasn't. Queenie was right. When he looked at me, he saw a bitch. That's all he thinks of me. And that's why I'm going to prove him wrong. I'm going to show him that I have a heart, and I will offer it to him. Easier said than done, though. See, he's dating Juliette. Every time I see them together, my blood boils, and I can't help but think that I want to be in her position. I want him to smile that perfect smile at me, kiss me with his supple lips. But I know that's not going to happen by seduction. Trust me, I've tried. The only thing he sees in Juliette is her stupid perky attitude. I could run around squealing like her; would he pick me then? Didn't think so. It's something else; Jules has something I don't have. That is the key to Scott's heart. Whoa, I'm going a little fast here. I forgot to mention how I know I'm in love with Scott! When I was little my mom used to tell me that love is based on the heart. It's corny, and I never believed it to be true…until now. I could get any guy I wanted to right now by just swaying my hips. But with Scott, I think I could be ME, and he would mine. I could let out the Shelby Merrick I've kept hidden for so long. So that is why I'm going to fight for Scott Barringer. I don't know what I'm going to do, yet, but the result will be Scott and myself as a couple. And, maybe, for the first time, I'll actually be happy.
So how'd you like it? PLEASE REVIEW! How about 5 to start off? I'll try to post sometime soon, and if u review, it will most definitely speed the process!
In chapter 1: Shelby attempts to make Scott hers, and to do it, she's got to do something she's never done before.
