Chapter 3---Love and War

~ Outside ~ Kellie walks back to the girl's dorm squeezing water from her hair as she walked up the steps to the girl's dorm. "Scott's a hard one gosh, he's so hooked on Miss Shelby Merrick, that slut" Kellie said to herself as she opened the door. Luckily for Kellie it was raining hard outside so she would not have to explain why she was wet, where she was and who she was with. Kellie quickly opened the door, shutting it behind her and walking over to her trunk full of dry close. Kellie bent down to pick out a dry pair of close. She noticed Shelby was gone as she walked over to the bathroom. Kellie smiled to herself and walked into the warm bathroom, locking the door behind her. ~ The Docks ~ Shelby hugged her self as she ran towards the dock Scott sat on. He heard her coming and tried shaking out the clear unhappiness he felt inside. "Hey Shell, right on time" smiled Scott opening his arms to her and letting her sit in his lap. "I'd never be late for I was counting the minutes till I could see you again," Shelby said in a sweet voice. Scott leaned into kiss Shelby as she leaned into kiss him. Their was no one there to interrupt them, or make them stop, it was perfect. As Scott kissed Shelby images of Kellie flashed into his empty mind. He became more passionate towards the kiss, trying to think of nothing but Shelby. He slipped off Shelby's wet, cold jacket still kissing her warm lips. Shelby shook a bit the cold wind biting at her bare shoulders. Scott slipped off his jacket and had a white tank underneath it. They kissed for what seemed like a li! fetime until - they made there way to the cold wet dock and fell fast asleep. ~ Morning Boy's Dorm ~ The sun beamed into Auggie's opened window as he lay in his bed taking in the peacefulness of the morning. He looked at his alarm clock 7:00am. "Time to wake up" called Peter walking into there room and walking around to each guy making sure he was up. When he reached Scott's bed, there was no Scott and his shoes and coat where missing. "Yo, Auggie, Ezra, David, any clue where Scott went?" asked Peter looking at each boy in utter blankness. "I heard him leave at around 10:09 or so" muttered David as he lifted up his pillow and slammed it down on his face and fell back asleep. "Great just what I need" Peter muttered to him self. "Get up, and dressed and met me at the lodge in 10 minutes" called Peter as he jogged out the door and down the steps. "Hey, mountain man, where are you going in such a hurry, I was waking up the girls and noticed Shelby was gone" said Sophie walking up n! ext to Peter, step in step. "Scott, must be some were with Shelby, that boy has gotten in so much trouble with that girl, but it's nice to see her smile", Peter walked with Sophie, over to the empty cabin near the lake *no Scott or Shelby* they headed over to the tool shed *no luck*. Sophie spotted, a blue jacket clinging to a bush. "That looks like Shelby's jacket" called Sophie quickly walking over to the bush, only to find Shelby and Scott snuggled together, sleeping. "Peter, look I've found them" whispered Sophie waving Peter over to the docks. He dropped to his knees shaking Scott a bit watching Scott mumble some words about wanting to go back to sleep, as he fluttered open his blue eyes. "Peter?" asked Scott looking up at Peter and then back at Shelby. He got up without waking her and took Peter over to the cabin wall. Sophie mean wile took her warm jacket and placed it ! around Shelby's cold body. "Ah, look Peter, me and Shelby were just talking and we kind a fell asleep, together!" Scott looked back at Shelby and Sophie, "Scott, regardless of what you to did, or did not do, you are both on work duty, cleaning the kitchen, and outside work, and whatever Sophie thinks of" Peter walked back over to Sophie leaving Scott relieved that his punishment was so easy. Peter walked over to Shelby and gently woke her up. "Peter, what are you doing out here?" asked Shelby. "I'm finding you and Scott in a very close sleeping position. "Peter It's not what you think, we did not do" "No Shell that's not what I'm thinking but both of you have kitchens and work to do outside. Since you enjoy the out doors so much. "Peter helped Shelby up and then walked with Scott back to his dorm. Shelby reached for her blue jacket that was not lying on the damp dock and noticed a p! ink sweatshirt and white sneakers. "Oh, my god, those are Kellie's" Shelby took off running to the girls dorm leaving Sophie befuddled. ~ Girl's Dorm ~ "Kellie, what did you do to him?" screamed Shelby jumping at Kellie and pulling her hair. "Get off me, you slut, I did not do anything to your little Scotty, so back off" Kellie shoved Shelby to the floor hard and stomped over to the door. "What did you call me?" Shelby jumped up cutting in front of Kellie. "Oh, I know about your little past, and your reputation, don't worry blonde witch it can't be as bad as mine, well maybe it can! You did it with what over fifty guys?" Kellie smirked at Shelby. "Lay, off Kellie" shouted Daisy pushing Kellie away from Shelby. "Daisy, gosh you have the worst name, your not at all like a pretty, sunny daisy, you're a weird-o Goth, oh and David he's pretty good." "What's that supposed to mean?" asked Daisy "What else Dais, he got board with yea so I was there to fill his little boy needs" "He would never" Daisy turned and walked coldly out of the room. &! nbsp;"Off to another wonderful day" Kellie laughed "what did you do to Scott?" Shelby asked walking closer to Kellie. "Nothing, just took a swim, talked, he's wrapped around you little pinkie" "That's all you better have done, stay away from my boyfriend!" Juliette walked out of the bathroom wearing her pink robe and smiling. Kellie and Shelby both frowned. "Guys, what's wrong?" Jules asked, just as Shelby ran into the bathroom locking the door behind her. "Nothing Jules, so tell me does Ezra have a thing for Daisy?" Kellie laughed and walked out the door. Jules got changed, dried her hair and headed to breakfast. ~ Bath Room ~ Shelby slipped out of her wet close and stepped into a warm tube full of water. She lied there taking in the numbness her body felt, and re-capping the events that had just happened. "Could Scott really have done more with Kellie?" Shelby asked her self, sinking her head down into the water, shutting out the world and her thoughts of Scott and Kellie.~ ______________________________________________________________________
