But I'm a cheerleader

Chapter 8

Megan's POV

      Letting the water drip off my skin, I prayed it washed away all thoughts of today. I can't believe I've embarrassed myself twice in 24 hours. I know Bryce is annoying but it's my first day here, I shouldn't have blown up the way I did. I can still remember Kacie staring at me with utter shock and disgust.

  I sighed in defeat, I guess I'll be overthinking tonight, about every failure in my life, instead of sleeping peacefully.

I couldn't help but let thoughts of Alison creep into my head, how could she just betray me like that. She was the only girl I've ever been with and I'm pretty sure the only person I've ever loved in that way. She was my favorite person and she just shattered my heart without any warning. All I wanted to do was kiss her lips and be held by her but the thought of her brought pure pain. I wish I could just close my eyes and wake up in my bed, reassured that this was just an awful nightmare.

  "Are you gonna be in there any longer, it's my turn to cry and you're gonna take all the hot water."

I recognized it as Ari's voice, I didn't realize I had been in the shower for so long. Turning off the water and stepping out of the tub, an instant shiver came over home. I was reminded of where I was and how much of a dumbass I was.

After I dried off and put on my clothes I opened the door to find a bored Ari standing outside the door. "You know what I hate most about this place?"

I stared blankly, this was the first time we had ever had a conversation and I knew she had heard my outburst earlier.

"I can't even have my phone to listen to music while I shower. It's like she wants us to purposely get in our heads and overthink"

Not her reading my mind like that-. Did I not just, lowkey, say the same thing a few seconds ago?

A small smile crept onto her face which scared me even more. "You gonna let me in or..."

"Let me iinnnn, I'll be the I.G.G.Y." Kacie mimicked, rounding the corner.

"Omg noo, do not let her in" Bryce and I laughed at the same time. Our eyes instantly met as our smiles began to slowly fade. As much as she got on my nerves, I couldn't help but feel all warm and fuzzy whenever she smiled. It was big and it showed off all her pearly white teeth. It was different from her playful smirk, it was softer. But I've always had a thing for smiles, it's one of the first things that attracted me to Ryan.

Ryan. My boyfriend. The person I was supposed to be in love with.

I moved out of Ari's way and rushed to my shared room. Since there was usually only 8 teens there at a time, there was only 4 beds but there was 5 girls. I stared at the bubblegum pink beds, unsure of what to do when I smelled musky lavender behind me.

"You can take my bed." I heard her say.

I tensed up immediately, after all that shit I said to her earlier, she's gonna let me sleep in her bed? She knows I find her annoying, so why would Bryce give up her bed for me. "A-Are you sure?"

"Yea, this way me and Kacie and cuddle with our clothes off" she wiggled her eyebrows and held onto Kacie from the back.

"Eww that's gay." Kacie fake gagged.

"You would know" Bryce grinned into the crook of her neck.

"Guys stop, you're not supposed to be doing things like that" Emma whined. She seemed to be staring at Kacie intensely. Did she- Did she have a crush on Kacie?

   "Ugh shut up, you wish this was you huh?" Kacie leaned into Bryce's embrace.

Emma's mouth hung open, in shock. "I- I-. No!"

Ohhhh, she had a crush on Bryce. I turned my head to look at the short haired girl and found her already looking at me. Why was she looking at me? I don't know why but I always felt uneasy under her gaze. It was like she was drawing me in and I was pulling back. My stomach felt like there was just an eruption of butterflies in there. I mean I don't have a crush on her but I understand why Emma would.

   "But seriously someone go get Ms.Pierce and ask her what we're gonna do about the bed situation"Kacie said, still in Bryce's arms.

"Her last name isn't pierce" Bryce laughed.

    "No, it's like Katherine Pierce, from The Vampire Diaries. Right?" I asked

"Yes, finally someone who's cultured" Kacie exclaimed. "She's my girlfriend now."

    I couldn't stop myself from giggling as the  caramel skinned girl wrapped her arms around me and kissed me on the cheek.

"Damn homo, yelled at me AND stole my baby momma all on your first day" Bryce cried.

   Why would she say that?! Just as I was starting to forget and enjoy myself she brought me back down to reality. It's like she did it on purpose. "Obviously didn't yell at you enough, since we're back to homo"

"It's my nickname for you, don't you think it's cute?" She stepped closer to me with a sinister smile.

   "Aye, stop flirting with my girlfriend." Kacie turned so she was hugging me from the front, like a predator that didn't want to share their prey.

She was flirting with me?

"Guys stop, no one should be flirting with anyone here. I'll sleep with Bryce in her bed and Megan can sleep in my bed." Emma declared.

   We all stopped and stared at her "how would you sleeping with a girl be putting you on your true direction" I asked.

     Just as I thought her death glare couldn't get any scarier, it did. If looks could kill I would be chopped up and sold for parts. "Well considering I'm the only one taking this seriously, I think I'd be able to handle myself"

  "Why specifically sleep with Bryce tho?" Kacie let go of me and put her hand on her hip skeptically.

"Well I don't know you guys like that." Emma crossed her arms in defense.

"Didn't you meet both of them yesterday?" I asked.

"You guys are fighting about beds aren't you?" Ari ducked her head into the large room. How the hell did she-

  "Everyone can hear you down the hall" she added.

Oh. I really have to stop being so paranoid.

"Megan can have my bed until we figure out the sleeping arrangements. I'm gonna stay in the parents guest room." Ari smiled and left.

I heard about the parents guest room when Kacie gave me the tour. Parents weren't allowed to stay because it caused to much drama but if for whatever reason they couldn't leave that night, there was a room prepared for them.

  "Aww, looks like you won't get to live out your lesbian fantasies" Kacie pouted, looking at Emma.

Emma rolled her eyes and jumped, angrily, in her bed, yanking the covers over her head.

  Bryce and I made eye contact once again, bursting out in laughter at her dramatic ass.

We all decided to lay down for the night. I got into my, well Ari's, bed and pulled the covers over me. Kacie and Bryce spent the rest of the night whispering to eachother, I could hear them because I was to far. Today was so exhausting that as soon as my head hit the pillow I wanted to fall into a deep sleep. I sighed and closed my heavy eyes. One day down, so many more to go.
