(Cut to: Night, docks. SHELBY is sitting with her feet splashing. She is yet again deep in thought)
Shelby: (Thinking) Well, its only a week or so until Scott is supposed to get here. Oh.. wait... the hike we went on... how did that happen?....Ughh... cant remember! I guess I'll just have to stay out of trouble. I'm sure it had something to do with me and Juliette. She still gets on my nerves! It's just hard not to pick on her and her barfing ceremonies. Well if I don't cool it a 10 day hike will be in my future. Or is it my past? Whatever it is, Ill have to go through it again... though the Ezra falling off the bridge thing was funny. (Laughs) Yeah, that was just hilarious. What if Scott doesn't come? If he doesn't come then the dream isn't real or is this a dream... no this is too real.. maybe I'm dead. Maybe this is just my body on this planet back to save something.... Too many thoughts! I gotta get some sleep. (She starts to get up when a flash light shines on her)
Shelby: Look Peter. I wasn't doing anything wrong... all I was doing was thinking! Don't get on my case cau- Oh its you.
Auggie: Yeah, Ice Queen. (Laughs jokingly.)
Shelby: Sure Homeboy. What are you doing out here so late?
Auggie: Couldn't sleep.. its like my brother lives in my head. Its like hes telling me to burn the place down and escape. Freaky huh?
Shelby: (Laughs) Oh I've seen freakier. Way freakier!
Auggie: Okay... but what are you doing out here?
Shelby (Dejavu. Cause this is turning out like that talk she had with Daisy in the kitchen.. in her dream/ reality thing) Couldn't sleep.
Auggie: Some one snore real loud... like Jules? Cause Ezra is a pain! He snores so loud!
Shelby: Nothing like how Scott snores! Man that is just wheeeew!
Auggie (Confused) Who's Scott?
Shelby (realizing her mistake) Uh.. no one. You'll meet him later.
Auggie: Well if he's no one then how can I meet him later. (Shelby playfully slaps Auggie on the shoulder. Auggie acts like he has just been shot and falls backwards.) Ohhh.. that hurt... I'm dying!
Shelby: You know your acting like a kid? (Laughs)
Auggie: Really? Hadn't noticed.
Shelby: Well I'd better get some sleep. I have a feeling were gonna do something real hard in the next couple of days.
Auggie: Okay Ice Queen. I'll talk to ya later.
Shelby: Sure thing homeboy.
(End teaser. Fade to BLACK fade in white letters: "What you do changes everything"- Me!
(Cut to: Girls cabin, early morning, exterior)
Juliette's voice: (Screaming) SHELBY!!!
(Cut to interior. Juliette is standing in the bathroom staring at herself in the mirror. Her hair is full of shaving cream that has molded into a Wilma Flinstone sort of way. Her face is horrified)
Shelby: Oh Gosh! That was sooo funny! You should have seen your face Jules.
Juliette: I'm gonna kill you! (She jumps at Shelby but Shelby backs away causing Juliette to fall flat on her face. Just before Juliette could go after Shelby again Hannah walks in)
Hannah: What's going on here- GIRLS! What happened to you Juliette?!
Juliette: It was all Shelby! She put shaving cream in my hair.
Hannah (fuming) I want you all in the lodge NOW!
(Cut to interior of lodge. PETER is talking but you cant hear him. At the end of his sentence you can hear the Cliffhangers)
All: NOT ANOTHER HIKE!!
Peter: Yes... a 10 day one. (Shelby looks mad. She remembers now what made them all go on the hike. It was because she put shaving cream in Juliettes hair...)
Hannah: That's what you guys get! Remember what one of you do-
All in unison: Affects us all...
Shelby: Well... lets see might want to add Life jacket and stretcher to that list. (Everyone looks at her confused) The life vest is for Ezra when he does something stupid and the stretcher is for Jeff when he falls down a hill or something.
Peter: (Laughs) Go easy on Jeff. He loves these hikes and he is just clumsy.
All: Yeah.. just clumsy
Peter: Ha ha, very funny. Here (hands a stack of papers out) Heres your checklist.... make yourself useful.
(Cut to: PETERS office PETER is on the phone.)
Peter: Are you sure? Well of cause Horizon would be the best for him. Okay... 10 to 11 days? Okay.. that's a good time. Were- okay - Were all looking forward to seeing Scott.
Hannah: Who was that?
Peter: Martin Barringer. He says that his son Scott has gotten worse. They're bringing him here a little before you get back from your hike.
Hannah: My group?
Peter: Yeah, we have to. All the other groups have at least 4 boys in them and the Cliffhangers have 2. The all boys group is almost packed too.
Hannah: Oh, that's fine Peter! We'll welcome him with open arms.
Peter: Thanks now you'd better get going I see the Cliffhangers sitting on the picnic table. (points out the window)
Hannah: Oh! (Runs out of the room)
(Cut to: Woods, morning. Cliffhangers. 10th day of trip.)
Juliette: Can we stop Hannah, please?!
Hannah: Just over this bridge. You can practically see campus.
Shelby: let me guess. The bridge is condemned and they haven't torn it down yet. Therefore you want us to take the long way back.
Hannah: Yeah actually (Ezra starts to say something)
Shelby: And you, Freakin, think she is just pulling our chain and your gonna go check it out cause your stupid. Don't so just come on Freakin (Shelby grabs Ezras arm and drags him the other way)
(Cut to: Horizon campus. SCOTT and PETER are in the boys dorm.)
Peter: We have assigned you to bunk number five
Scott: I like what you've done with the place.What no bars on the windows.
Peter: Horizon's a school, Scott. Its not a jail. Theres no fences, no gates, no where to run. Just so you know your 25 miles from the closest town. To get there, especially at night, you've got to make your way through a forest you've never seen before in the dark, fighting off carnivores the size of minivans, so if you're even thinking about it, don't bother. Tell me, I'll call you a cab, all right? Just keep in mind -- your dad chose horizon over a juvie hall or a lock-down school up the road. Those are your alternatives if you choose not to make it work here. It's up to you.
(Cut to: Entrance to Horizon from woods. The CLIFFHANGERS are stepping out of them, tired, and the sunlight makes them all squint. SCOTT and PETER notice this and walk over to them. SHELBYS face lights up as she sees SCOTT.)
Peter: Hey, Cliffhangers. How did your Hike go?
Hannah: Great. Who's this?
Peter: This is Scott Barringer. He's going to be in your group. Auggie you can be Scotts first week buddy.
Auggie: Sure. Come on meat, I've got a couple places to show you.
Scott: Whatever muchacho.
(Cut to: Dinner: SHELBY goes and sits next to SCOTT.)
Shelby: This seat taken? So your a Newbie huh?
Scott: Wha-
Shelby: Wait... What do I think... yeah I know what your going to say.
Scott: Whatever.
Shelby: You wanna do something later?
Scott: I don't go for used cars. (leaves)
Shelby: Dammit... just have to wait a while for him to get off his Juliette phase.
