Chapter 10: homecoming part 1

It'd had been almost a week since Peter told Shelby the truth. They had spent a lot of time

together. Trying to steal back time they missed. Shelby and Scott grew closer each day. But

Shelby was still damaged underneath. Now not only had her mother lied to her about her father.

But she also hid from her the truth.

Shelby laid on her bed reading her favorite book series. Sweep. She had just started on the

7th book. When Sophie came in.

"Hey guys!" She said. Jules was on her bed painting her nails and Daisy was reading a

Christopher Pike book. Remember me. But when Sophie came in everyone looked up.

They all muttered, "hi."

'Why are you all inside?" Sophie questioned. "It's a beautiful day."

"Climbing." Shelby said. "Yesterday we went climbing. Now we are resting our sore

bodies." She smiled sweetly.

"Well I have some news." Sophie said. Everyone was now listening. "Parents day is this

Friday. And your parents are all invited. Today is your rest day. But starting tomorrow, we have

Monday through Thursday to get everything set up." She informed them. "I have to tell the guys

now." With that she left.

"Wonderful! A chance to see the Evil bitch from hell." Shelby said returning to her book.

"Who's that?" Juliet asked stupidly.

"Her mom." Daisy answered.

"I guess no one here really likes their mom huh." Jules stated.

"You're a real Einstein Princess." Shelby said.

"Well my Mom is the reason I'm bulimic. Daisy's mom isn't coming. And you hate

yours." Juliet recalled.

"It'd be sort of hard for my mom to come. Considering she's 6 feet under and all." Daisy

said. Sometimes Jules could be so self centered.

"Right. Sorry Dais." Juliet said.

"No problem. And daddy dearest won't be here. He's in rehab." Daisy said.

"I can't wait to see my mom." Shelby said. Both girls looked at her.

FRIDAY...

All the students were so unhinged. Their parents were about to walk into their sanctuary.

The place that kept everyone safe. From their parents judgement. Shelby and Scott were taking

care of any refreshments the parents would like.

"So is your dad coming?" Shelby asked Scott.

He nodded. "Yeah. Peter thought it'd be best for him to come."

"What about Elaine?" Shelby dropped her voice so only Scott could hear.

"I don't know. I'm nervous. I really don't want to see her again." the last time Scott's dad

came, Scott told him about Elaine with Shelby right there. But of course Mr. Barringer

wouldn't believe his own son. "What about you? Is your Mom coming?" Shelby had told him

what Peter confessed to her.

"I don't know. I hope so." She said. Looking at the door as parents arrived.

"Why?" He asked.

"She has some explaining to do." Shelby said.

"Yeah I know." Scott looked up at the door and saw his father. Followed by a snake.

Named Elaine. "Oh no Shel." Shelby looked up. Her eyebrows narrowed. "He brought her.

What do I do?"

"Just remain calm."She turned to face Scott. She brought her hand to his cheek. "You

can do this Scott trust me." Scott looked back over to his father and saw him talking to Sophie.

Good he's delayed for a little while. Scott thought. Shelby looked back over to the door and

saw Jess. Jess saw Shelby and came running toward her.

"Shelby!" She called running toward her and Scott. Scott smiled.

"Jess." Shelby hugged Jess so tight. "I missed you so much!" Shelby kissed her sister's

cheek. " jess, this is my boyfriend Scott." Jess looked at Scott and smiled.

"Hello." she said. Scott was amazed at how bright she was.

"Where's mom?" Shelby asked. Both Shelby and Scott watched as a shadow came over

her face. "What is it Jess?" Shelby looked at the door and was stunned. She couldn't move. Or

breath. Scott followed her gaze. His jaw dropped. He'd seen Shelby's mom in a photo she had.

Next to Shelby's mom stood her monster. Walt.
