Thankfully, there was a choice if we wanted to wear our cheerleading outfits all day or not so Mel and I decided that we would change into them during practice. Right now I was on my way to choir, I'm still happy that I made it in there. I walked in, smiling at the teacher before having a seat towards the back. I was getting myself situated, I felt the presence of someone next to me so I looked to see this pretty girl.
"Hi I'm Scarlett." I smiled, shaking her hand that she was holding out.
"Deja, nice to meet you. Are you freshman?" I asked
"Yeah... Not even gonna lie, I was lowkey scared to start highschool but it's actually not so bad." She told me
"I felt the same way but my friends and I adjusted into it just fine." She went to say something but a boy came over, kissing her temple.
"Hey babe, sorry I'm late- oh I'm sorry, was I interrupting something?" We laughed at me and I shook my head.
"No, not a lot." "Babe this is Deja and Deja, this is my boyfriend Theo."

"Yeah, during football tryouts, I met him and Liam." He said

"I guess I have to go through my list." I crossed my fingers and was hoping she didn't pick me.
"Let's see here... Um Deja Hunter." "Fuck." I mumbled under my breath while Scarlett and Theo were stifling their laughter. I flipped them up behind my back as I went up to the front.
"You can sing whatever you would like." Mrs. Laymon says with a smile before sitting down.
"May I use the guitar?" I asked and she nodded. I grabbed the guitar before sitting down on the stool, I tuned the guitar before playing the intro.
No, I think I'll stay in tonight Skip the conversations and the, oh, I'm fine's No, I'm no stranger to surprise This paper town has let me down too many times Why do I even try? Give me a reason why
