Character

Season 4

Shelly was introduced as a girl who wanted to prevent Brooke from having an abortion, although it was later revealed that Brooke wasn't pregnant at all. Glenda told Brooke that although Shelley was the Clean Teens' leader and a "virgin for life", she used to be promiscuous, and Brooke realized that Shelley had had an abortion after falling pregnant at a Christian camp. Shelley tried to get Rachel Gatina and Brooke Davis to join Clean Teens as well, which they did as an alibi on the night they stole a Calculus test. Shelley soon fired Rachel, as she fell somewhat short of the Clean Teens' ideals.

In "Pictures of You" Shelly called Mouth a geek. They had to pair up for an assignment, and got to know each other in the process. Mouth asked her to the prom and Shelley said yes. They kissed. Shelly took Mouth's virginity in "Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers" but left in horror at having broken her own rules.

She reappeared at the graduation party after dissolving Clean Teens; she makes up with Mouth, who later defended her from a guy who insulted her. They do not rekindle their love, but Shelley remains friends with most of Tree Hill High's girls.
