The S is short because if you said the word cent, the c isn't silent.

Well if you want the real answer The "s" and the "c" together make a softer "s" sound. Compared to the words "sent" and "cent", the word "scent" sounds more like "sscent.". Similar to the words "ascent" and "assent", where assent has a harder and faster sound. If the S was silent it would be CENT If the C was silent it would be SENT same difference.
