I have recently watched higher ground and decided to make a fanfiction.
Shelby, Scott, Daisy, Ezra, Auggie, Jules, Kat, David, Peter, Sophie
Shelby woke up by the sound of Sophie, she put the pillow over her head. "Come on get up and get ready" she said as she walked out of the dorm to give the girls some privacy. Jules got out of bed first and headed for the bathroom, Kat following shortly after Jules leaving Shelby and Daisy still in bed. They didn't want to move. After about 5-10 minutes they decided to get out bed and get ready for their day ahead. They made their way out of the dorm and headed to the lodge to get breakfast. They collected their food and sat down with the boys. Scott looked over at Shelby as he was eating his toast, Shelby looked back at him, 'she looked dead' he thought. After they finished they had group. They all sat down, and Sophie started talking. "Ok today is I feel, ok so Ezra you start"
"I feel hungry, Juliet"
"I feel proud, Kat"
"I feel happy, David"
"I feel like I want this over with, Auggie" he said smirking.
"I feel cold, Scott"
"I feel hopeful, Daisy"
"I feel good, Shelby"
"I feel tired"
"Ok great job guys now go do what you want for the remainder of time you have left before English" Peter said as the group depart.
Scott walked out of the lodge, stopped looked back and waited for Shelby to come out.
"Hey you okay?" Scott asked as he walked up to Shelby.
"Yeah I'm fine just tired" Shelby responded.
"Why are you tired are you not sleeping?"
"I have off nights sometimes, nothing to worry about, I have to go see you later" she said as she walked off.
Scott was worried about her; she didn't seem like herself.
The time quickly went by, and it was English. Shelby felt like a zombie she was so tired, the nightmares were keeping her up at night, she sat in the bathroom for half the night thinking about the nightmares and how she hated herself. She didn't even make insults at Juliet at breakfast, they probably all noticed but at this point in time she really didn't care. She had her head in her arms on the table trying not to fall asleep, but her head and eyelids felt so heavy, she could fall asleep for a few minutes, nobody would notice. Oh, but they noticed.
"Shelby, you still with us?" The teacher asked.
She just groaned. The teacher decided just to let her be, he would talk to Peter later about Shelby, he wasn't going to do it in class and embarrass her. After English was over it was a free to do what you want homework, play sport etc. Shelby went back to the dorm and laid on the top of her bed.
Peter was sat in his office doing paperwork when a knock at the door pulled his attention away from the paperwork.
"Come in" Peter said as the teacher opened the door.
"Ah Christian, what can I help you with"
"I just had the cliffhanger's for English and I'm concerned about Shelby."
"Why what happened"
"Well Juliet was talking about Shelby and she did nothing no comeback nothing she didn't even glare at Juliet or anything it was weird, then she had her head in her arms on the table the rest of the lesson, I'm pretty sure she fell asleep at one point, I didn't talk to her about in class, didn't want t embarrass her or anything, she literally did no work, so I was just wondering if you could have a word with her"
"Yeah sure, that does sound weird for Shelby, and I'll get her to do the work if you give me the tasks for today and I'll give them to her."
"Yeah ok, thanks." Christian then left Peters office. Peter sat back in his chair thinking what could be wrong with Shelby, she has been at horizon for 3 months, at the beginning it was difficult, she would insult anyone who would talk to her, she didn't want to be touched, the initial exam everyone gets when they get here was bad she was shouting not letting anybody touch her. After about a month she started to adjust, that was long for someone to start to adjust people were normally settled after a week or two. She has this brick wall build all around her, you break it down only to find another wall behind it, she kept her emotions bottled up inside. The English tasks for Shelby had made its way to Peters office, he set off to find Shelby. He checked the dorm first, if she was tired she would go back there. Peter knocked on the door.
"Is everyone decent?" He asked as he opened the door a smidge.
"Yeah" Daisy replied. Peter walked in and saw Kat, Daisy, Jules and Shelby on their beds. Shelby looked like she was asleep. Daisy looked at Peter looking at Shelby.
"She's been asleep as soon as she sat on her bed, so none of us disturbed her."
"Thanks Daisy, could you lot go outside or to your next lesson early please, I need to speak with Shelby"
"Yeah sure" Kat said. They all walked out with their stuff and sat on the bench watching the boys play football.
"Shelby" No response
"Shelby wake up"
"Shelby" She shot up looking like she was gonna punch Peter.
"Hey it's just me"
"What do you want my captain?" She said as she laid back down closing her eyes once again.
"Your English teacher came to see me after your lesson today, said you didn't do any work and had your head on the desk all lesson." "He also said that you didn't insult Juliet when she was talking about you which I thought was very unusual"
"So, because I didn't insult Juliet you think somethings wrong, do you really think that little of me Peter"
"That's not what I meant, and you know that. So how come you didn't do any work?"
"Didn't feel like it."
"Really is that the truth?"
"Yes now can you leave me alone please?"
"Fine" "Oh and before I forget, this is your English work from today Christian expects it done by tomorrow"
"But I'm never gonna be able to do it by tomorrow I've got other things to do"
"Well then you should've thought about that before you decided to do nothing" Peter stood up and left Shelby alone She groaned with annoyance and rolled over. What was the point anyway?
