REGRETS
A/N: A little bit of humour! It changes from the dramatic stories, uh? I know Shelby looks childish in this story, but I think it's quite funny…
Shelby's apartment, the Day After, in the Afternoon
Ah, tonight will be just good, I know it. This afternoon, I decided to screw class, well only the last hour. You have to understand! I have to take care of my appearance for my little evening with Scott. I know I'm going to have a great time. Sometimes, you just have this feeling of peace, this is nice. When I searched into my drawer for the perfect dress earlier, I found it back behind all my other clothes. I know it's a little sexy for a date with a friend, but well…Scott isn't just a friend to me.
"Hey Shel, can I enter?" What is Daisy doing here? Shouldn't she be in class too?
"Uh sure you can!" I say through the door, wrapping a towel around my head.
"What are you doing here?" She asks with a smirk. Why can she just mind of her own business sometimes? I wonder…
"And you?" I retort quickly, um, good one. I can see that's not the answer she was waiting for.
"Fair enough: To tell you everything, my business teacher had an obstacle." Why is life so easy with her? No work to make up for, no boyfriend to search…well, okay I already found the perfect boyfriend. "You?" Why does she keep asking all those annoying questions? I have to get ready, me!
"I have a date tonight, so I decided to miss my last class, happy?" I could have been a little nicer, but she knows I get irritated quickly.
"Ooh…Mark is going to faint when he'll see you in this thing." She says pointing her finger on my dress.
"Yeah well, I didn't say I had a date with Mark." Who does she think I am to show up like this at Mark's apartment?
"Then, who?" Ah, ah, she looks puzzled now, I scored again!
"Scott." I have to admit it now. The sooner she leaves, the sooner I'm ready.
"Scott? You mean Scott Barringer?" Who else stupid?
"Of course." She smirks at me, I know what she thinks. "And no, we're not going back together." Well not yet!
"But, and Tina? Is it over between them?"
"Why does it matter? It's not really a date anyway."
"Yeah, and that's why you're going to wear this dress?" Why can't she just leave me alone for once? Next time I won't answer the door, that's for sure. I narrow my eyes at her, without even realizing it. I do this so much already!
"Look Daisy, could you just leave, or at least help me with my hair?" I know that the hair issue is a great one. She looks pretty reluctantly at me and shook her head.
"I'm sorry, but I have tons of work…ask Heather, I'm sure she will help you." She smiles, but I know that smile: it means 'wow; I have to escape quickly before she asks me something else.' And then, she was gone…
I look at myself in the mirror: maybe I could use some make-up…then Scott will think I did too much…since it isn't really a date. What am I going to do with myself?
I take the bus of 7:03 pm. I should be at Scott around 7:30. I called him before I left, and he seemed happy to see me tonight. I keep wondering if he's still in love with me... Bill drives too fast today; I hope I won't have an accident. I notice there's this guy who looks at me like I'm a piece of meat. Just because I'm dressed nicely doesn't mean I'm trying to find a guy for the night. What a jerk! Scott isn't like this, him. He's so great, yet so sweet…why did I get scarred of commitment two years before?
