I pulled my hair into a ponytail as I entered the living room to see Blake eating cereal and watching tv alongside Connor. I saw Bethany enter the room with a banana in hand. 'Can we take your car and go top down?' She asked without even looking up from her phone. 'Sure, but you've gotta help me' I said. 'Yeah' She said as I ruffled Connor's home.

'Good morning Blake' I said as I walked by him. 'Good morning Chan, where are you two going?' He asked. 'Cheer' Bethany said as I entered the kitchen. 'Oh' He said, not asking for much after that. 'Good morning Chandler' Veronica said and I smiled. 'Good morning' I said, feeling a little awkward because I wasn't wearing much clothes.

'How was your party last night?'She asked as I poured myself some milk. 'Fun, I had a nice time' I said. 'I'm glad to hear that' She said with a smile. 'Chan, let's go' Beth yelled. 'Bye' I said before I chugged the rest of my glass and then placed it into the dishwasher. 'Bye girls' She said. 'Alright' I said as I walked out of the front door. It really was a gorgeous day outside.

'So, I was thinking we just brush up on your skills. Then I'll teach you some cheers, you'll be ready for Friday's tryouts in no time at all' She said as we started to peel the roof of my car off. 'Sounds great' I said, and in a minute we were done. We both got inside, and I turned the radio on. Bethany put in the directions, and I followed them.

'So, how was last night?' She asked. 'It was a lot of fun to be honest, it was just sort of weird getting so much attention' I said and she took note of it, on her phone. 'Yeah you're in a lot of Facebook photos with people that I'm pretty sure you're not even friends with' She said. 'Really?' I asked. 'That's what being hot can do for you' She said. 'And don't say, I'm not hot because you are Chandler. It just took a little perking up to let it out' She continued.

'Sure' I said. 'Do you like Cory?' She blurted out. 'Oh, um, I don't really know' I said. 'I mean last was, intense' She said. 'Really?' I asked. 'I mean you guys went from like the wall, to a chair, to a couch. I couldn't keep up' She said causing a smirk to appear onto my face. 'My bad, I'll stay in one area next time' I said. 'Next time?' She asked surprised. 'So you do like him' She said. 'I mean next time I hook up in general, I never said anything about Cory' I said.

'Was he bad?' She asked and I shook my head. 'Well I don't have very many guys to compare him too, but no he wasn't. I just didn't know that I had to like him' I said and she laughed. 'You don't I mean it's probably better that you don't considering he just got out of a relationship' She said. 'Yeah' I said, thinking back to last night. Beth did tell me to tell her everything. 'I was getting a lot of attention from Justin' I said. 'Bieber?' She asked. 'Yeah' I said. 'Well, good for you' She said. 'Is that a good thing?' I asked. 'I mean it's good and bad' I said.

'Why is that?' I asked. 'He's hot no doubt, and fawned over beyond means. But, he's just such a flirt. It's hard to know if he's actually interested' She said. 'Oh, to be honest I have a question' I said. 'Shoot' She said. 'I know I just met Cat, so you don't have to tell me since she's more your friend than mine, but is she into Justin?' I asked her.

'Could you tell?' She asked and I nodded. 'Just a little' I said. 'She's been into him since Freshman year, and he's always been friends with us so I guess he just friendzoned her immediately' She said. 'Ok' I said. 'But, as you can see, he's a flirt. He's very touchy, and sometimes she takes those moments for granted and gets sucked back into thinking he wants more than a friendship' She continued. I didn't know that much about this stuff, but I knew that had to be healthy.

'She was sort of giving me daggers when I was talking to him yesterday' I said. 'She's the most jealous person I've ever met' She said. 'Oh' I said, causing her to look at me. 'Now I know where this is going' She said. 'Where is this going?' I asked. 'You like Justin don't you?' She asked. 'Like him, I barely know him. Sure he's very attractive, but I don't know him' I said. 'You don't know Cory' She said, making me sigh. 'He's attractive that's it' I said.
