Summery: *READ SAFTEY SHATTERED FIRST* After the spectacular ending of Saftey Shattered, Shelby's back.. with a plan to save everything.
***** (Interior of a dark room lighted only by one light. No windows. A single metal chair is in front of a brown, simple table. 3 small bags are on it and clothes, toothpaste, and such are strewn out. SHELBY is in the chair and PETER is checking her stuff. He pulls out a bottle of KING COBRA, a type of liqour, and throws it away in a metal trash can to the side)
Peter: The rules are simple there no-
Shelby (cutting him off) Drugs, sex, violence, and absolutely no innapropriate touching. I know, Peter
Peter: Ohh.. so you've read the brochure."
Shelby: (Hesitating) Uh.. yeah. Whatever... uh.. fearless leader
Peter: Well since you've had your physical and your stuff checked, I'll take you to see the Cliffhangers. They will be your new group
Shelby: (Lauging) Yeah I know.
(Exterior then cut to Interior shot of Lodge. A group of three are sitting in front of the fireplace and are lauging)
Peter: (Looks around) Where are they?
Shelby: (Absentmindedly) There uh... right there, Peter.
Peter: Oh.. right. Okay... (confused) Cliffhangers! ( JULIETTE, EZRA, and KAT stand up) This is your new member, Shelby Merrick.
All: Hey, hi, (ect)
Peter: I'll leave you four to get aquainted. (Walks out to meet with HANNAH. He looks at his watch and then quickens his pace knowing he's late.)
Juliette: So your the newbie, huh? Im right right?
Shelby: (Smirking) DUH, Queenie
Juliette: (Angry) Hey, you dont know anything about me! So just dont go making names!
Shelby: Oh I know more then you'll ever believe.
Juliette: Whatever. (She walks out)
Ezra: I guess its just me and you now... (Winks)
Shelby: (disgusted) I happen to know for a fact that we will never be friends "like that"
Ezra: And how would you come to that conclusion so early?
Shelby: (Starts walking out) Shut up Freakin'
Ezra: Its Freid-- Hey! How do you know my name?! (But shes already out the door. Ezra, confused, plops down on the sofa and reads his book)
(Cut to PETERS office. He and HANNAH are talking about SHELBY)
Peter: I dont know Hannah. This one is mysterious.
Hannah: Shelby?
Peter: Yeah. I just dont know about her. All I have to go on is "Habitual Runaway"
Hannah: Both you and I know that that is not the whole story. There has to be something she was running away from. Kids dont just runaway from the saftey and confort of their home unless something or someone is jepordizing the saftey.
Peter: How very textbook. I know. It says here that her mom married a man named Walt Blaine when Shelby was 12 and a half. Her father went to live in some other state and she had no visits to him. So we know its not her father. She never ran to her father so it just cant be him.
Hannah: Well, what about her stepfather?
Peter: Walt. Ah... well maybe she thinks he broke her family apart.
Hannah: They dont run just cause of that. There has to be something else we dont know.
Peter: (Sighs) I know. We'll just have to drag it out of her. I know from experience that that wont be easy.
Hannah: You never know. You just never know, Peter.
(Cut to interior of CLIFFHANGERS girls dorm. SHELBY, KAT, and JULIETTE are sitting on their own bunks. They are waiting for HANNAH to come for bed check.)
Juliette: I heard we were getting another newbie.
Shelby: So.... (knowing its Auggie and not caring)
Juliette: Drop the attitude.
Shelby (getting angry) What attitude?!
Juliette (Angry) THAT ONE!
Kat (getting fed up) HEY YOU TWO! (they stop and look at her) Shut it before I shut it for you!
Shelby & Juliette: (awe) Ok. (In unison)
(Cut to: Next morning interior of Lodge. 5 people are sitting around the fire trying to get warm. It is SHELBY, KAT, JULIETTE, EZRA, PETER. They are seemingly cuddled together.)
Kat: (moving away and standing up) Ok! I dont get it. Why have we been dragged into the lodge this early in the morning?
Peter: (Standing up too) You'll find out. Franks almost done with him.
Juliette: (sorta excited) It's a newbie isn't it, Peter?! I'm right, right. (Shelby rolls her eyes)
Peter: Well, if you must know... (Auggie walks in with Frank) Ahh... here he is. Everyone this is (Shelby mouths 'Auggie Ciceros' Along with Peter saying it) Auggie Ciceros. He is your (Shelby mouths 'new member so treat him with respect' along with Peter saying it) your new member so treat him with respect. (Peter notices the mocking but trys to shake it off. Shelby notices Peters suspicous stare so she stops mouthing. Peter trys to tear his eyes off of Shelby to look at Ezra) Ezra. Since your the only guy for now you are gonna be his first week buddy.
Ezra: (Happy that he gets to hang around a rough, tough, looking hispanic. He doesnt wanna get beaten up.) Come friend there is so much to show you and so little time.
(Cut to: Night, SHELBY at the docks. She is thinking intently. Her bare feet are dangling in the water.)
Shelby: (thinking to herself) If they only knew. This obviously happened for a reason. I'm supposed to stop something? Like what? Things were going so well with Scott before mom "died" In the dream. Things are just too confusing. What if this is a dream? (things are clouding in her mind and it frustrates her) well Ill find out when Scott arrives. But thats in like two months. What am I supposed to do until then? Lottery? No we never got the news... darn! What a waste. I wish Scott were here. Things were so good with him. Well... after we got together in the storm.
*Flashback*
(Its in the storm (in seductions) When SHELBY and SCOTT are talking in the boys dorm.)
Scott: Thanks for helping.
Shelby: Yeah? Well, we'll see what you think when you get my bill
*End flashback*
(Shelby chuckles at the memory.) Boy after that was a good time..except when CPS tore Scott apart.
*Flashback*
Shelby: You sent her letters!? After all she did to you?! Whats wrong with you?!
Scott: I dont care what you think anymore. I dont care about anybody.. cause I got nobody.. nothing... empty.
*End flashback*
Man... did that ever come back and kick me in the ass. (Shelby sighs gets up and walks toward the lodge)
(Cut to interior of Lodge. AUGGIE and EZRA are sitting on a green tinted couch talking.)
Auggie: Hey amigo? Ya got any "vacant" Walls around here?
Ezra (Confused) Um... huh?
Auggie: (sighs) Like a wall... of a building. Or maybe you've got some spray paint I can use to tag.
Ezra: (Smiling remembering his and Mr. Spraypaint fumes adventures in the clouds. Sighs) I wish. You get nothing here. Nothing with a smell at least. Not even Caffeine.
Auggie: That sucks, bro.
Ezra: Yeah, and if you'd wanna tag... you'd have to just tag a piece of paper.
Auggie: !Corcholis! (Damn in spanish)
Ezra: I'm not even gonna ask (Confused)
(Cut to SHELBY, JULIETTE, and KAT. SHELBY has just walked into the lodge and hears KAT and JULIETTE talking.)
Juliette: Yeah... so her and Daniel are having problems.
Kat: Husband number four?
Juliette: Yeah. They got married a little before I got here.
Kat: That was only FOUR months ago!
Juliette: (Upset) I know. Now she is probably gonna divorce him and come crawling back to me. But dont worry she cant take me outta here without my dads permission. Daddy brought me here and he is the only one allowed to take me out... i think.
Shelby: (Smirking cause even now she loves messing with Jules mind) Ohhh... is prom queen upset? No one would crawl back to you... maybe away.. (Juliette frowns)
Juliette: (angry) I dont have to take this from you!! (Runs out of the lodge)
Shelby (Mocking) I dont have to take this from you!! (Laughs)
Kat: (Glares at SHELBY) Good job (Sarcasticaly. Goes after Jules)
Shelby (Shrugs) What? (Laughs) I might as well have some fun until Scott arrives.
(Cut to exterior of Peters office)
Peters Voice: I got a call today (Cut to: Interior of Peters office. PETER and HANNAH are sitting on chairs. PETER is behind his desk looking at a folder, and HANNAH is in front of his desk looking at it upside down)
Peter: It's about some interest in the school. A man said that his son is going down the wrong track and he suspects drug use. Blood shot eyes.. stumbling in early in the morning. All the signs. He said he would give it about a month or two and see if he could clean up his act. If not he'll bring his son here.
Hannah: And who is this were talking about.
Peter: A uh... Scott... Scott Barringer.
(Cut to exterior of Lodge)
Hannahs voice: Group Cliffhangers!
(Cut to interior of lodge. A little bit later. The Cliffhangers are sitting in a circle in front of the fire place. They are discussing the rules and regulations. Punishments... ect)
Peter: Okay! Since we got that down, I wanna pass the staff. Shelby, Auggie.. what we do is we pass the staff and whoever has is says something about the topic. Todays topic is Your name and why your here. (Passes the staff to Juliette.) (Shot of Shelby rolling her eyes cause she knows exactly what to do. They just dont know it)
Juliette: (Sighs) I'm here because my mother expected me to become the perfect daughter. Oh, and I'm Juliette Waybourn, Call me Jules though. (Throws stick to Kat who is on the other side of the circle)
Kat: I'm Katherine Anne Cabbot. I am the senior Cliffhanger because ive been here for almost 4 years. I'll be graduating this summer and going off to college. I came here 3 and a half years ago, after my sister Shannon died. I went through depression thinking it was my fault she died. I got here and realised that it wasn't. Peter taught me that. I hope he can help you like he helped me.. I just wish my Parents were so understanding.... (She trails off and throws the stick to Ezra)
Ezra: I'm Ezra Freidkin and I'm here because my parents adopted me when I was a baby to save their marrige. I obviously didn't work and that screwed up my life. (Tosses to staff to Auggie before Peter can make him say more)
Auggie: (Not shy) Im Auggusto Ciceros call me Auggie. I got here cause my brother is a gang member and he asked me to join. I did and it was fun until I got caught. From then on it was a Juvenille Lockdown school up the road, JuV or here. I chose here... knowing that lockdown schools are no fun. (Passes it to Shelby)
Shelby: (Hesitates for a minute)
Peter: Its okay
Shelby: I'm here cause I dont like it at home. I ran alot... and that was cause my... well.... my st- Uh... nevermind. I'm here cause my mom thought it would help me "heal" (not wanting to go on more she passes it back to Peter)
Peter: (not surprised but dissapointed) Okay... lights out in 10. Get to your dorms.
All: Sure, ok, fine, ohhh, (ect from them all)
