Enjoy! ___________________________________________

When Shelby returned to her cabin, she assumed everyone was asleep. All the lights were off and snoring could be heard a mile away.

So she snuck into the bathroom, and locked the door, her new "presents" in her arms. She sat them on the counter and took out the pregnancy test.

"Please be negative, please be negative." She whispered to herself.

And then, she went into a stall and took the test that would change her life.

*************************************************

"Shelby! Shelby! Are you in there?" Daisy yelled, banging on the door, a worried expression on her face.

It was 9:05 and Shelby had fallen asleep on the counter of the bathroom.

Daisy turned to Kat & Juliet. "I don't think she's in there, you guys."

"Well, it couldn't have locked by itself, could it? Here let me try." Juliet complained pushing past Daisy. "SHELBY!!!" She screamed, banging on the door.

Shelby jerked awake. "WH-what?" She said quietly.

"See, she's in there." Juliet said, smiling.

"Shelby, are you okay?" Daisy asked.

But Shelby was staring at the pregnancy test. It had a blue line on the screen. (Blue=Positive) She thought. (Oh gosh.)

"Um, guys, I'm sick and will be in here for a while, use the bathroom in the Woodpecker's girl cabin." She said, her voice so shaky you could barely make out what she was saying.

Daisy exchanged a worried look with the others.

"Shelby, are you okay? Do we need to get Sophie and Peter?"

"No!" Shelby yelled quickly. "I mean, no, I'm fine. Just go."

"Okay, we'll be in class if you need anything." Daisy said, giving up.

*************************************************

Shelby got up slowly when she heard the door shut. How could this be? She and Scott had only done it one time, how could she be pregnant? But the test never lied; at least that was what it said on the box. (No, I can't be.) She thought. (This dumb test probably is very wrong)

So she took three more, all saying the same thing. Positive.

It was 1:15 and break time for the Cliffhangers, kind of a recess.

Shelby finally came out of the bathroom, grabbing on to everything around her to keep from collapsing in grieve. She then fell into her bed crying.

"I can't be pregnant. I can't be!" She kept telling herself.

"Can't be what?" Daisy asked, standing at the door. She was holding a Styrofoam container.

"I brought you lunch Shel." She then dropped it on her bed. "Oh my gosh! What happened?!" She rushed over to Shelby. But Shelby just kept crying.

"I'll get you some Kleenex." She then ran to the bathroom, stopping dead in her tracks. They were all over the place, pregnancy tests. On the floor, on the counter.

Daisy turned slowly. "Shelby?" Shelby had stopped crying, but was now staring at Daisy, wide-eyed.

"Shelby, what the hell is this stuff?!" Daisy yelled rushing over to her.

Shelby looked at the floor, too ashamed to look at her best friend. "I'm pregnant." She said simply.

"You're what?!" Daisy screamed.

"I'm pregnant!" She said, looking up. "Remember?! 'Cover for me', three days ago?"

"Shelby, what the heck! Do you know how bad this is?! We have to tell Peter and Sophie." She then turned, walking towards the door.

"NO!" Shelby started crying again, crawling over to Daisy, grabbing on to her.

"Daisy no! Not anyone, ANYONE, can know. Not Scott, not Sophie, not ANYONE!"

Daisy bent down to her.

"Shelby, sweetie, they will find out you know."

Shelby looked at her.

"I know, just, not now."

*************************************************

Daisy walked into Group that night, looking scared for both her friend and her.

What if something bad had happened? Like AIDS or HIV, this could get bad. But Daisy kept her promise by not telling.

She sat as far away from everyone as possible, wrapped up in her own thoughts.

Someone tapped on her shoulder.

"What, crackhead!"

She said whirling around.

It was Scott.

"Whoa, someone's in the touchy-feely mood. Where's Shelby?" He asked.

"I don't know, okay? She's sick, the flu or something, now GET LOST!"

Scott backed up.

"Okay, okay bitch! Calm down!"

"Okay, okay, Group had started!" Peter yelled, clapping his hands. "Everyone get on the floor, preferably in a circle, it's time to share our feelings!"

Everyone did as they were told and Daisy sat in between Kat and Auggie.

"Okay, let's see, um, Juliet, let's start with you."

"I feel, hmmm, happy!" She glanced at Auggie. "Okay, Auggie."

"Dido." He smiled back at her. "Okay, um, Meat!"

"I feel worried." Scott glanced at Daisy. "Okay, Daisy."

Daisy glared at him for a long time before saying, "Disappointed."

*************************************************

Daisy managed to sneak out of Group to go talk to Shelby. She found her sitting on her bed, staring straight ahead at nothing.

"Hey Shel." She said to Shelby, causing her to jerk around.

"Oh, well, hi."

"Look, Scott is worried about you, I think he deserves the truth."

"What?! NO!!! You promised! I swear, if you tell, I'll, I'll kill myself along with this retched thing growing inside of me!" Shelby yelled, standing up.

Daisy blew up. "Shelby, listen to you! You're being very irrational! Please, you HAVE to tell him."

Shelby folded her arms, tears springing to her eyes. "I know! But, I'm just scared. I mean, what if he doesn't want to be a dad and abandons me! Wh-"

"Scott would never do that Shelby! He loves you, and I'm sure he'll love your baby too." She walked over and hugged Shelby for a long time.

"So, are you going to tell him?" Daisy asked quietly.

"Yea, I suppose." They broke apart, just before the rest of the Cliffhanger girls walked in.
