CHAPTER 19

They all looked at who was there. Peter was at the door, folded arms, and he looked pretty angry. Sophie had stopped at the administration building for a few minutes.

Sc (whispering) : Damn !

S (whispering only to Scott) : Yeah. Seems like we're gonna be into more trouble than we already were.

Scott nodded at Shelby while Peter was starring at all of them. He just couldn't believe what he was seeing. That was incredible.

P (yelling) : Sophie come in here we have something unexpected.

S (arriving) : Yeah, what ? … Oh my God.

D : I can feel the punishments coming !

E : Yeah, me too.

Peter had heard them.

P : Of course they are.

S : What are you guys all doing here ?

A : We wanted to…

P : Don't try to defend yourselves guys.

A : We're not.

P : I didn't allow you to speak.

All the guys were looking at each other thinking that Peter was really mad. They knew they would be punished for what they did. Peter and Sophie came closer to them.

P : What were you doing on the other side of my desk ?

Of course nobody answered.

So : I guess they were looking at their files.

Peter and Sophie were next to them and looked at the files. The teens were embarrassed and didn't know were to look at. They wished they hadn't come in Peter's office.

P : Well this is going great ! First you come in my office without being allowed to, second you dig in my things and third you read your files. How could you do that ?

Sc : I had the idea, I'm the only one to blame here.

S : No Scott it was my idea.

P : That's nice of you to admit it, but you didn't ask the others to join you in MY office !

A : We're all to blame.

P : That's right Auggie.

So : Guys you shouldn't have done that !

D : We know it now. We just wanted to know what you think about us.

P : It's private !

Sc : But this is our lives !

D : Well what's our punishments ?

P : Let me think about it… Um two weeks of kitchen duty for… um… Daisy with Juliette in the morning and Auggie with Ezra in the evening.

Sc : What about Shelby and I ?

P : I'll think about it later. We have to finish our discussion first.

So : Right. The others can go back to class !

They were leaving the office when Peter called them back.

P : You will also have extra homework to do.

The teens sighed. They hated that !

P : I want everybody to write two entire pages about why you are so curious, the advantages and disadvantages of being curious and… what were you the angriest about amongst the things you discovered I wrote about you.

So : Peter don't you think that's a lot ?

P : Not at all. I wanted to add more homework but I'm just gonna add one point : I want that done for tomorrow evening !

A : What ? This is too short !

D : We'll never have enough time to write all those things !

P : You'd better find the time. Maybe if I give you shuns you'll have time.

J : No, it's ok Peter we'll have the time to do it.

P : Are you sure ? Cause I could add shuns for everyone and room restrictions so you'll have more time.

E : I swear we understand and we'll find the time.

P : Great. Then it'll be all for now ! By the way next time you think about it, think twice before being so curious again ! Go to class and don't make me regret I didn't gave you shuns or room restrictions or hard labor to do !

Everybody left the office without saying a word. Sophie closed the door and stood next to Peter who sat in his seat. He made a sign to Scott and Shelby to sit down in their seats as they were before he and Sophie went out.

So (calmer than Peter) : Why did you do that ?

Sc : We just wanted to know what Peter thinks about us and…

S : I'm sorry Peter we didn't think about it. The files were there and we couldn't resist !

P : I can understand, but when you have a question just ask. I'm not here to hide things from you.

S : So what are you gonna do with me ? You said I'm not gonna be expelled but …

So : It's true we're not equipped for a young pregnant teen, but we'll find a way. There's the infirmary when there's something wrong. The hospital is not that far and we can also call an ambulance.

P : Shelby you look scared, what is it ?

S : I'm gonna be a mother, I can't believe it.

P : Are you happy about it ?

Sc : Of course we are.

Scott took Shelby's hand and Peter and Sophie noticed how happy and scared they were.

Sc : You're not gonna give us punishment for looking in the files ?

P : We'll see about that later.

So : But the others will notice something !

P : Well, ok. What about writing the same two pages as the others ?

Scott made a forced smile but agreed, so did Shelby.

P : Ok so we're done with that.

S : Are you gonna call my mother to inform her of the situation ? She'll kill me !

P : In fact I hoped you'd call her yourself.

S : Peter I can't.

P : Ok not today, but you have to.

S : I promise I'll make an effort but not today, it's too early.

So : That's ok Shelby. First you'll see a doctor at the end of the week.

S : Do I have to ?

So : Yes.

Sc : I'd like to come with her !

P : We'll see later. Shelby you'll also have to tell the others. There are things you can't do anymore…

S : I can't tell them ?

P : Why ?

S : What will they think about me ?

So : Shelby they are your friends, not judges !

Sc : She's right and I'll be there. I'll tell them if you want.

S :Thanks Scott, but not today.

P : You'll tell them this evening at group.

S : It's to early.

P : No I think this will be the perfect time. They've all already noticed that something was going on, and they've been wondering what it was.

S : In fact Daisy already knows about it.

P : Oh yeah ?

Then Peter remembered something.

-----Flashback-----

P : I'm taking him to the infirmary, and then I think it'd be good for him to have a rest for a few hours.

So : Scott, Shelby asked for you. She's still in the dorm.

Sc : Okay.

P : Lets go to the infirmary first.

D : I think you should first see Shelby.

Peter and Sophie glanced at Daisy wondering if she knew something about what was going on.

-----End flashback-----

S : Yeah she found the pregnancy test in the bathroom, and she hide it, and then she told me about it.

So : How did you feel after that ?

S : I must admit that I felt relieved to have a friend who knows what's happening to me.

So : So don't you think you'll be happy when the others will also now about it ?

S : I don't know.

P : Well, you and Scott will know it tonight when you tell them.

Suddenly Peter remembered he hadn't taken Scott to the infirmary yet. He totally forgot about that. Scott didn't seem to suffer a lot.

P : Scott I totally forgot to take you to the infirmary, let's go now !

Sc : It's ok, really.

P : Are you sure ?

Sc : Yes. Look at my legs it's almost nothing and it almost doesn't hurt now.

P : Ok but if you feel any pain let me know.

Sc : Ok.

Shelby and Scott looked at each other wondering what was coming next.

Sc : What do we have to do now ?

P : Go to class with the others, and if they ask you about why you were here tell them they'll know tonight.

Sc : Ok.

Scott and Shelby left the office hand in hand and join the others for class. As they entered the class everyone was staring at them.
