Not His Girl

Tryouts

Hey guys, Thanks so much for reading my book! I have to warn you though it is extremely unedited so if you have a problem with that I recommend you leave now. If you don't then enjoy the story!

So it's finally after school. "Okay so who do you think is going to try out this time Kaylee?" Jessica whispers to me as we walk into the auditorium. "I have no clue, but I guess we are about to find out." I whisper back. We enter the gym and find at least a dozen girls getting ready to try out. Jessica goes to get our table ready while I walk into the middle of the gym and clap my hands. Surely enough that gets everyone's attention. "Hi girls! Thank you for trying out for this semesters cheer team! I know you guys will do great so let's get this started!" I say with a enthusiastic voice. I walk over to the table and take my seat when Jessica calls out the first name. "Harper Taylor?" Jessica calls out. Harper prances onto the gym floor. "Hi Harper!" I call out with a lot of enthusiasm, Harper and I have been friends for 4 years now. She smiles at me and then at Jessica and then begins her cheer. After she is done, Jessica and I clap for her along with everyone else. She smiles sweetly at us again before walking up on the bleachers again. We quickly write down our reviews, which may I say aren't too shabby. We go through everyone else on the list, until we come to a person who we thought would never try out. Heather King. Heather was a really quiet person who would rather sit down and read a good book then go to a party with friends. As soon as Jessica announces its Heather's turn, people start to laugh. "Stop it guys be nice!" I scold. Heather stands up shyly and walks out on the floor. She slowly looks up at us and smiles. She starts to do her chant and then shocks everyone by doing a backflip while doing her chant. She then ends her cheer in the splits and smiles cheekily up at Jessica and I. I'm so shocked I don't do anything for a few seconds. I then come to my senses and stand up clapping. So far she has the best vote out of anyone. She smiles shyly and then walks up to the bleachers. I walk out into the middle of the gym to make an announcement. "Okay guys so we have to discuss and then we will tell you guys who made it and who did not." I call out. The girls quickly file out of the gym as I walk over to Jessica. "Holy wow, did you see that!?!" Jessica squeals. "Yeah, that was crazy!" I reply with the same amount of enthusiasm. "So who do you want on the team Kaylee?" She asks quickly. "I'm thinking heather, harper, Kayla, Linsey, Ashely, and Nicole." I say excitedly. "So it's settled?" Jessica asks excitedly. I don't reply but simply walk away. I walk out into the hall where are the girls are huddled. "Okay girls it's time to find out who made it!" The girls squeak excitedly as they walk back in the room. "Okay girls, I'm very excited to announce the girls that have made it are... Heather, Harper, Kayla, Linsey, Ashely, and Nicole! Congratulations to everyone that made the team!! To the girls that didn't, I'm really sorry you did great but Unfortunately it wasn't good enough to get on our team." I look at the girls that didn't make the team sympathetically. I then look at the girls who did make the team and smile at them. I hug all the girls that didn't make it. They quickly say it's okay and walk out. I look at the girls and squeal in excitement. I clap my hands together and smile. "Okay I think this team is going to be a good one." "Discuss among yourselves while Jessica and I talk. As I walk over to Jessica, she looks at me with disgust on her face. "What's wrong? Do you not like the group or something?" I ask quickly. "No, I like the group it's just that Nathan has been here and we haven't even talked to him." She exclaims. I giggle as I start to walk over to Nathan. "Hi Nathan! Enjoy the tryouts?" I ask with enthusiasm. "Yeah, I guess they were cool." He says with a smirk. "Okay well I have to to now bye!" I say as I walk away. "Happy?" I giggle why walking past Jessica. "Okay girls congratulations on making the team! The next practice will be after school tomorrow and we meet here in the gym." I say. The girls start to flood out of the gym. Just as everyone is flooded out, Jake walks in with Nathan. "Hey Kaylee I have an idea." "Great." I think to my self. "What's up?" I say with a smile. "I was thinking maybe you, me, Jessica.. And Nathan can go out to cafe star today." He pauses before saying Nathan's name. Instead of getting upset I simply smile and say "Sure." All just stare at me in shock. I giggle and bat my eyelashes while saying "Problem?" They all look at each other and laugh. As we walk out we bump into heather. "Congratulations on making the team Heather!" Jessica and I say at the same time. "Thanks! Looking forward to practice." She smiles at us. "See you tomorrow then." I smile at her and walk back to our group. We all walk out to Jessica's red mustang . We all file into the car, Jessica in the passenger seat, me in the drivers seat, and Nathan and Jake in the back seat. I drive to Cafe Star and squeal as I park. "Wow you really like this place, don't you?" Nathan says with a smirk. I look at him and gasp. "Like?! I love this place!" We all start to laugh as we exit the car and walk in to Cafe Star. We all squeeze into a booth. Almost immediately a waitress comes over and asks if she can take our order. "I will have a vanilla shake with some fries please." Everyone agrees that's also what they want. "I'm trusting you." Nathan says as he looks at me with a smirk. " There's no need to worry, trust me." I say with a similar smirk.
An hour later
"Okay I have to admit.. Those were some good milkshakes!" "What did I tell you." I say as I giggle. We all get in the car. The car ride wasn't so awkward, Nathan was in the back seat with Jessica and Jake was up front with me. After Jake drops Nathan off, Jake looks at me and starts to laugh. I glare at him. "What's so funny?" He stops laughing and looks at me. "I'm just surprised how mature you acted around Nathan." I glare at Jake. "What, you didn't think I could be mature around him?" "Well considering you don't like eachother.. No I didn't think you could be nice!" He smirks. I slap his arm and get out of the car considering we stopped at my house. "Bye guys love you!" "Love you too!" They both say back. I giggle and walk into the house. "Mom I'm home!" I call out. I listen for her reply. There isn't one. I sigh and head up to my room, I pull out my math book and start to do my homework. I look at the clock, and I'm shocked when it says it's almost 9:30. "Wow I didn't think my homework would take this long..." I get up put away all my homework. I walk over to the bathroom and pull my hair into a messy bun. I lean over the sink and wash my face, and brush my teeth. I then walk over to my room, put on some baggy sweats and an oversized t-shirt. I walk over to my dresser and pick up a picture. I sigh while looking at the picture, it's a picture of my dad before he....passed away. It was my mom, dad, and me laughing. I smile at the photo before putting it back down on the dresser. I head over to my bed, and get in. I cuddle with my teddy bear, who's name is Mr. Teddy. I smile at how I got this bear. My dad won me this bear, when we were at the carnival last year. I shiver when I feel a single tear roll down my cheek. I wipe it away and turn on my side. I lay there for a bit. I'm suddenly awoken by my alarm going off. I sit up and think to myself "Hmm must have drifted off to sleep." I get up, head over to the bathroom and wash my face. I then head over to my closet to pick out my outfit. After 20 minutes of trying to pick out an
outfit, I finally decide on a Flower Halter top with a tan jacket, blue skinny jeans and some brown boots. After picking out my outfit, I head into the bathroom and pull my hair up into a ponytail. I look at myself in the mirror, and turn towards my bedroom. I walk over to my vanity. I sit down and begin to put my makeup on. I pull out a naked pallet for my eyeshadow. I decide to go with a natural look today. I choose a tan color for my eyes. After I put on my foundation, powder, and mascara, I get up and head downstairs. "Mom?" I call out. When there's no response I hear into the kitchen to make myself some breakfast. I decide on just eating a granola bar. My phone buzzes, I sigh and walk over to it. "I'm outside, hurry up." I smile at the text knowing immediately it's from Jessica. I grab my backpack and walk outside. I quickly climb into Jessica's red mustang. "Hey." I smile cheekily at her while this. "Hey." As she pulls away from the house, I glance back at Jake. "Hey Jakeeeeee." I drag the last syllable out. He glances up at me and smiles, "Hey Kaylee." I turn around in my seat. I reach for the radio and flick it on the 95.7. Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran blasts out of the speakers. I smile cheekily and start singing. I don't have that bad of a voice. It's sounding pretty good, that is until Jake starts to sing along with me. He sings all the notes off key. Jessica starts to laugh as she pulls into a parking spot. We all exit the car, grab our backpacks and walk into school together. People immediately move out of our way. I can't help but smirk. I'm not one of those mean popular girls, but everyone knows not to get on my bad side. We all stop at my first period class. "Bye guys, love you!" I blow them a kiss before walking into class. I sit in my spot, which just happens to be in the front. As everyone else files into the classroom, Mr. Smith walks in. " Good morning class, I have an assignment for you guys. The assignment is to take care of a baby doll for a month. Of course this will be a partner project." Everyone begins looking around at their friends. "Of course, I have already chosen your partners for you." A groan goes around the room. " Tommy and Samantha, Katie and Kyle, Claire and Eli, Haley and Alex... I tune out until I hear my name Kaylee and Nathan." There's a loud gasp throughout the room. I glance behind me at Nathan and he's smirking. "Get with your partners and discuss how you guys are going to work together." I sit in my spot, if I'm forced to be partners with Nathan he can at least come to my seat. I feel a tap on my shoulder, and I turn around. There stands Nathan with a smirk on his face. He sits in the chair next to me. "Hey do you have a piece of paper?" He looks at me, while wearing a smirk. "Uh yeah here... What do you need it for?" He looks at me and then writes something on the paper, hands it to me, stands up and walks out right as the bell rings. I sigh, stick the number in my backpack and continue with the rest of the day. As school is finally over, I go home and finish my homework and do my daily routine. I go downstairs and walk into the kitchen. I'm shocked to see my mom sitting on the kitchen stool drinking a cup of coffee. "Oh hey mom!" I smirk as I walk past her and open the fridge. "Hey sweetie, how was school?" "It was decent, as always." I pull out a piece of pizza and put it in the microwave. "That's good honey." She smiles at me. "Yeah I guess." The microwave beeps and I pull my pizza out and I run to my room. It's time for a Netflix marathon.
3 hours later
I don't remember closing my laptop or going to bed but I guess I must have. All I know is that its going to be a really long day tomorrow.
