~Chapter 5~*I Love You/ Talent Show*
Last night Scott asked Shelby to meet him in the janitor shed before dawn because he had something he wanted to tell her. She accepted and they went to the dorms to sleep. ~Morning~ Shelby was starting to get out of bed and slip on some sweatpants when she heard Daisy's voice.
"Where are you going this early in the morning?" she asked groggily.
"Not that it's any of your business, but Scott asked me to meet him in the janitor shed this morning." She trusted Daisy in a whispering voice.
"Don't worry lovebird, your secret is safe with Me." She said with a smile.
"Thanks Dais-."
"Just remember to tell me all about it later." She said still smiling in a sleepy way.
"I will, see you later."
Shelby quickly peaked out the door to make sure no one would catch her. No one was there so she walked quickly to the janitor shed. She knocked on the door with their secret knock.
"Come in." Scott called quietly.
As Shelby opened the door her face lit up in surprise.
"You like it?" Scott asked smiling.
"Wow." She said with a big grin on her face not knowing any other words to say at this moment.
"Ezra kinda told me what you had planned for me before and I realized we never did get to spend it together so I thought I would make it up to you." He said coming closer to her.
Shelby looked around the room and saw tons of candles lighting the place up. A table set for two with rose petals on it with two candles one red and one white. She could hear music playing quietly in the background it was "Everything I Do (I Do it For You)" by Brandy. Everything was set just as it was before when she did it.
"Ezra and Auggie helped me do it early,early,early this morning." He said now about an inch apart from her.
"Geez I wish I would have dressed for the occasion." She said almost sarcastically.
He just laughed. For he wasn't wearing anything special himself.
"This is soo amazing Scott." She said in awe.
"Well I love you Shelby and I wanted to have a special moment with you."
She smiled as she leaned in to kiss him. They held a long passionate kiss.
"So wanna eat?" he asked still smiling. "I hope you like it, me and the guys snuck in the kitchen this morning. We were kinda in a hurry."
"Oh I'm sure it's fine." She said without removing the smile from her face.
He made eggs, bacon, toast, and had orange juice fresh squeezed. They sat there eating and talking for at least a ½ an hour by now.
"Shel-When I first came here to Horizon. I was so upset.I didn't want to be here at all, but you changed that all for me. I'm so glad I met you." He said almost in tears.
Shelby touched his hand. "I changed you? Oh my god Scott if you would have never been here I would probably be down the same road I came here on. My attitude would be worse than it ever was. I would have never opened up to anyone because I wouldn't have anyone to push me." She said with a smile. "And I wouldn't have been in love." with that sentence she started to cry. A good cry though. They spent the last ten minutes in the shed cuddling. They decided they should leave separately to go to the cafeteria so Peter or anyone else would suspect anything. Shelby was about to walk out the door when Scott grabbed her arm and kissed her passionately before she left.
Shelby had fifteen more minutes till breakfast, which she wasn't even that hungry since she kind of already ate but she'd have to go anyway and pretend. So she took a shower and washed her hair to waste some time. Everyone else was already headed there but what's wrong with being fashionably late. After she got out of the shower she decided to not blow- dry her hair it was way too hot out to be worrying about that. She picked out some sparkly, faded jeans and a pink tanktop. She figured after that incident with Scott and she had her sweatpants on that she'd look at least half-way decent for him for the rest of the day.
~Cafeteria~
"Where's Shelby?" Juliette asked. "I didn't see her this morning when I woke up."
"Oh she had to.um.she said she wanted to jog this morning." Daisy said trying to be convincing as she lied to Juliette. Ezra, Auggie, and Scott just laughed.
"Jogging? That doesn't sound like Shelby? Juliette said second questioning Daisy.
Just then Shelby came in and heard Juliette, she sat down next to Scott.
"What are you talking about Jules, back home I used to jog all the time. I just figured I should get back on schedule since we're going home in two days. Well going to my new home that is." Shelby said as she looked at Scott and smirked.
"Oh. Wait. What do you mean new home?" Jules asked confused.
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you guys, me and Scott are moving in together once we get out of here." She said happily and grabbed Scott's hand and stroked it.
"Really, that's awesome!" Everyone said together.
Everyone started eating. Well all except Scott and Shelby.
"What is up with you two? Not eating? That doesn't seem to much like you guys scott especially?" Torrance said wondering.
Scott and Shelby just looked at each other and smiled. Ezra, Auggie, and Daisy did the same.
"Guess I'm just not hungry." Scott said
"Yeah me either." Shelby agreed.
"Alright all this talk about not being hungry is making me full fast." Daisy said. "Come on Shel." Daisy said to Shelby trying not to give it away that she wanted to talk about what happened that morning. They went out to the gazebo.
"Soo." Daisy said waiting for details.
"He surprised me with a candlelit breakfast." Shelby smiled as she told her friend.
"That is so sweet.boys I swear, they really know how to get to a girls heart don't they?" Daisy said in one of her knowing voices again. Shelby just laughed as just told her the rest of the juicy details.
~That night: The Talent Show~
"Alright everybody you know what to do you've been rehearsing I hope so tonight we will start the show off with Torrance Wright, Shelby Merrick, and Juliette Waybourne dazzling us with a dance that our own Daisy Lipenoski (I don't know how to spell her last name LoL) choreographed to the song Overprotected (Remix) by Britney spears. After the girls went all the boys were whistling and clapping. Then it was Daisy's turn to sing Angel of Mine by Monica. Her talent impressed everyone. No one had expected it out of her. All the Cliffhanger girls danced and acted in the song Lady Marmalade by Christina, Lil Kim, Pink, and Mya.the boys especially liked that one. Torrance sang "Stranger in my house" by Tamia. Then the guys and girls of the cliffhangers Shelby/Scott, Torrance/Auggie, and Daisy/Ezra did a dance together to the song "Ain't it funny" by J.Lo and Ja Rule. Shelby did a surprising ballet dance to the song "Wild Horses" by the Sundays. Tori and Jules Tap danced to Boys (Remix) by Britney Spears.
"Our last performance is a dancing skit directed by Ezra to the song 'When your eyes say it' by Britney Spears the performance features Tori/Auggie and Scott/Shelby, so please enjoy!" Peter said as he sat down to watch. Auggie was very nervous to do the closing act only because he was going to be dancing with Torrance. At the beginning the girls walked out and the guys took their hands and guided them out. Then they had to stare into each others eyes and act, complements of Ezra who thought Auggie would like that part. When they were done they got the loudest applaud of the night.
"Excellent guys! Well now we have some awards to give out. Sophie will be handing those out." Peter said with sigh not wanting to believe that his favorite group, the Cliffhangers, would be leaving in two days.
"Okay the first award is Best Personality." Sophie said loudly. "And it goes to..Juliette Waybourne. Everyone clapped and Shelby rolled her eyes as if she knew that Queenie would get it.
"Congrats Queenie, I'm proud." Shelby said smiling as Juliette walked back to the bench they were all sitting at.
"Thanks Shelby, you know I never thought I would say this but I'm going to miss you calling me that. There won't be anyone else who does that." She said and Daisy just smiled at both of them.they were finally getting along.
"Our next award Good looking guy and girl. Drum roll please.. Scott Barringer and oh looks like we have a tie for the girls they go to Shelby Merrick and Torrance Wright."
Everyone cheered as they all walked up to get their award. It was just a certificate saying was kind of award it was.
"Alright everyone the next award is Best Comedian here at Horizon.. and it goes to.. Ezra!"
"Thank you, Thank you very much." He said in his Elvis impersonation as he walked up to get his award. Sophie and Peter smiled at him.
"Four more awards guys, hang in there! Biggest Attitude goes to Shelby, Daisy, and Torrance." Daisy smiled and said sarcastically, "Figures."
"Oh Daisy, Torrance don't go anywhere because the award for weirdest personality goes to you two."
"Oh wow! I'm so honored!" Torrance said in her best dramatic voice.
"Thanks everyone I'd like to thank first and foremost God for creating me this way, mom, dad thank you. Cliffhangers for not letting me forget who I was when my head got too big." She started laughing so did everyone else. "And last but not least Peter and Sophie you two led me on the road of weirdom and I thank you or else I wouldn't be here today." Daisy joked also dramatic like she was winning an academy award.
Everyone clapped and laughed as they walked back to there seats.
"Alright after that wonderful speech Daisy just made! Our next award is Best Dressed that goes to Jules." She went up got her award and came back to her seat. "Oooh look at miss fashion diva." Scott joked. Everyone laughed including Juliette.
"And our last award goes to the person who never wants conflicts to happen to anyone, the problem solver award, and it goes to.. Auggusto!" Auggie smiled big as Scott and Ezra pat him on the back. "Yeahhhh man!" Scott and EZ both yelled as Auggie walked up to get his award.
"Okay everyone, we want you to find a partner because you are having one last slow dance with each other." Peter smiled.
Since there wasn't an even amount of people they thought they would take turns dancing with different people. Shelby and Ezra were dancing together, Auggie and Daisy, Scott and Jules and Tori were dancing together. So Scott got two girls. They were dancing to the song "Lately" by Tyrese as that ended everyone started switching partners. Then all of a sudden the song that Scott played for Shelby in the janitor shed came on. At the time Scott and Shelby were now dancing and she looked at him and said, "I went and requested it to Peter." She smiled he smiled back. "This is our song." He whispered in her ear.
"Time to deliver the letters!!" Peter announced, music still playing in the background.
Scott grabbed his letter and headed for Daisy. He handed the letter to her and she smiled because she had him too so she also handed a letter to him. They both started to read them.
Dear Daisy,
I know when I first got here I was a bit of a jerk. Well you sure whopped me into shape. I still remember that time when we went on solos and you were angry with me and wanted to beat me up because Shelby left her site. I'm really glad you yelled at me that night I really needed it. I was stuck in my own world and only cared about myself. It really made me see that there's more to the world than worrying about yourself all the time. So one thing I never got to say to you was thank you because you deserve that. Shelby is lucky to have a friend like you. My mother once told me that friends are two people sharing one soul. I think you and Ezra still have a chance, just go for it.. don't be scared. Everything will work out.
Love, Scott
PS: Always remember you have a friend in me too.
Daisy smiled as she read the letter. She could feel a tear fall onto her cheek.
Dear Scott,
There was many times here that we didn't get along, but little do you know there were many times that I stuck up for you man. When Shelby thought you would never understand I always told her that you'd come around. I knew you would because you care for her a lot and every one of us sees that. Scott let me tell you, Juliette was telling me that before you came here Shelby was never happy, a smile never came across her face, and she always had something mean to say to someone, she didn't hold back. But when you got here things changed. You gave her a reason to wake up in the morning, she is always smiling and has that giddy look in her eyes when she's with you, she's happy with you because you don't treat her like anyone else does. You love her. I always wanted to tell you that I thank you for making my best friend happy. I hope I can find a love that's just like yours and Shel's.
With much Love, Daisy
Shelby walked over to Juliette. "Here you go Queenie." She said smiling. "Thanks. Here is yours."
Dear Juliette,
Wow just my luck I pull your name out of the hat. For all the times that I was mean to you, it wasn't because I didn't like you. Because I liked all of you guys, you all were like my second family that actually cared. You know what Daisy once said to me, she said that the people who are most alike have the most conflicts. I didn't understand at first because well I didn't want to but I thought about it and I know what she means now. We both have the same feelings about our and we both put on a mask so no one can really see how much it does hurt except the only thing is you put on the happy, energetic mask and I put on just the opposite mean, stubborn, and sarcastic. Inside I was still hurt no matter what mask I decided to put on and I think you did too. We both had a good way of hiding it. And I think that's why we are alike. I now see that it's not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing to be like you and it's not a bad thing to show your true feeling because if you never express them what kind of person would you be? Well Queenie just know that I will always be here for you for anything you know how to reach me.
Love, Shelby
Juliette was stunned by what Shelby had to say in the letter.
Dear Shelby,
Hey buddy ol' pal! Ha. That's something to laugh about huh? I really do wish that we could have been better friends than what we were. If that's what you want to say that we were. It didn't even seem like we were friends. But you know I think we still have plenty of time to become friends. We're a lot alike Shel, even if you don't want to realize it or not we are. In some ways I think you're a much better person than I am. I'm so glad that Scott ended up with you in the end than me because you're a much better person for him. You two are meant for each other and I wish you the best of luck in the future.. you better invite me to the wedding!
Love, Jules
Shelby hugged Juliette and whispered, "Jules we will always have plenty of time to be friends." Juliette looked back at Shelby and smiled really big as she began to cry. "Okay." They pulled in for another hug. "Friends forever." She said.
Auggie walked over to Torrance nervously. Handed her the letter as she began to read it.
Dear Torrance,
Hey girl. There's so much that I haven't had the guts to say to you so I'm just going to come out in this letter. Tori I think you are the most beautiful I have ever seen. Every time you walk in to the room I freeze. Scott always makes fun of me for that. You make me smile whether you know it or not. I know we don't talk very much that's mostly my fault because I feel if I do I'll make a fool out of myself or it'll be so obvious that I have feelings for you. The funny thing is I really had nothing to hide because everyone else knew about it all except for Jules but that won't be long. I guess what I want to ask is will you be my girlfriend? I'll understand if the answer is no, hopefully we can still be friends then.
Love Always, Auggusto
"Aww Aug! That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said about me. And the answer to your question.yes." She said smiling really big with tears coming out of her eyes. "You will?" he asked excitedly. "Yes" she said back as he kissed her cheek and hugged her tightly.
Ezra walked behind Auggie and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey man!" Auggie said happily. "What are you all happy for." Then he looked down and saw two hands intertwined together. "Ah, I see!" He said happy for his friend. "Well here's your letter." Ezra handed the letter to Auggie as he began to read. Torrance walked away to give the two friends some time.
Dear Auggie,
It's been a long time since we've been out in the real world and now we are finally getting out of this place! I have to say; I'm going to miss the nights that you, Scott, and me had staying up talking about the girls when Peter didn't know. You two are like Brothers to me. It's going to be weird waking up in the morning in my own room with no one other beds in there. Pulling pranks on Scott when he wouldn't wake up in the morning. Those were the days huh? I never thought I would have that much fun at a school for delinquents. Ha. Who would have thought? Well I'm sure those days aren't over we'll all see each other again I don't know how we couldn't. We all have become such a tight group. Just like brothers and sisters.
Love ya man! EZ
"Thanks man!" Auggie said to Ezra doing one of those guys hugs.
Torrance walked back to give Ezra her letter.
Dear Ezra,
I haven't known you long enough yet but I have to say you seem like a real cool guy. Daisy would be dumb not to fall for you EZ. Just to let you in on a little secret I think she digs you trust me. Me and her we're like twins I have this feeling that she likes you she just doesn't know how to tell you either that or she's scared. But don't worry she will come around. If I know her well enough it won't take too long. She cares a lot for you she was scared out of her mind when you went into the infirmary. Just remember love takes time.
Love, Tori
"Thanks a lot Torr, I really appreciate the advice." Ezra said smiling as they all went back to slow dancing. Sharing this last memory at Horizon together.

You two are meant for each other and I wish you the best of luck in the future.. you better invite me to the wedding!
Love, Jules
Shelby hugged Juliette and whispered, "Jules we will always have plenty of time to be friends." Juliette looked back at Shelby and smiled really big as she began to cry. "Okay." They pulled in for another hug. "Friends forever." She said.
Auggie walked over to Torrance nervously. Handed her the letter as she began to read it.
Dear Torrance,
Hey girl. There's so much that I haven't had the guts to say to you so I'm just going to come out in this letter. Tori I think you are the most beautiful I have ever seen. Every time you walk in to the room I freeze. Scott always makes fun of me for that. You make me smile whether you know it or not. I know we don't talk very much that's mostly my fault because I feel if I do I'll make a fool out of myself or it'll be so obvious that I have feelings for you. The funny thing is I really had nothing to hide because everyone else knew about it all except for Jules but that won't be long. I guess what I want to ask is will you be my girlfriend? I'll understand if the answer is no, hopefully we can still be friends then.
Love Always, Auggusto
"Aww Aug! That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said about me. And the answer to your question.yes." She said smiling really big with tears coming out of her eyes. "You will?" he asked excitedly. "Yes" she said back as he kissed her cheek and hugged her tightly.
Ezra walked behind Auggie and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey man!" Auggie said happily. "What are you all happy for." Then he looked down and saw two hands intertwined together. "Ah, I see!" He said happy for his friend. "Well here's your letter." Ezra handed the letter to Auggie as he began to read. Torrance walked away to give the two friends some time.
Dear Auggie,
It's been a long time since we've been out in the real world and now we are finally getting out of this place! I have to say; I'm going to miss the nights that you, Scott, and me had staying up talking about the girls when Peter didn't know. You two are like Brothers to me. It's going to be weird waking up in the morning in my own room with no one other beds in there. Pulling pranks on Scott when he wouldn't wake up in the morning. Those were the days huh? I never thought I would have that much fun at a school for delinquents. Ha. Who would have thought? Well I'm sure those days aren't over we'll all see each other again I don't know how we couldn't. We all have become such a tight group. Just like brothers and sisters.
Love ya man! EZ
"Thanks man!" Auggie said to Ezra doing one of those guys hugs.
Torrance walked back to give Ezra her letter.
Dear Ezra,
I haven't known you long enough yet but I have to say you seem like a real cool guy. Daisy would be dumb not to fall for you EZ. Just to let you in on a little secret I think she digs you trust me. Me and her we're like twins I have this feeling that she likes you she just doesn't know how to tell you either that or she's scared. But don't worry she will come around. If I know her well enough it won't take too long. She cares a lot for you she was scared out of her mind when you went into the infirmary. Just remember love takes time.
Love, Tori
"Thanks a lot Torr, I really appreciate the advice." Ezra said smiling as they all went back to slow dancing. Sharing this last memory at Horizon together.
