championship

the next day i sat at the table with my friends again at lunch. we where all talking, excited about the championship game tonight. we where mid-conversation as i saw mike, my younger brother... and dustin- his friend walking towards me quickly. I looked down at my food quickly, acting like as if i didn't see them. "god please don't come over here" i repeated im my head a few times. "sarah!"mike said.. i sighed and slowly looked up at the table, who was staring at me, confused. i then turned my head and looked at mike. "what." i mumbered . mike cleared his throat., "can we talk to you?" he said. i thought about it for a second. then i stood up walking alway from the table, grabbing mike and dustin arms pulling them with me. "what could you possibly need?"
i whisper yelled, mike looked at me with puppy dog eyes, i could tell he was about to ask for something. "i know you have to cheer for the championship game tonight. but do you think you can ditch it this ONE time?" mike said. "we need somebody to sub for Lucas tonight at the hellfire meeting." Dustin said looking at me dead in my eyes. i rolled my eyes "you two are insane if you think i'm ditching our first championship game- which I get to cheer in!! just to play a stupid game with that freak club." i scoffed, shaking my head. Mike started to look really mad. yet, he said nothing. "oh cats got your tongue, huh?. i'll see you at home mike." i said- going to walk off. Just then dustin grabbed my arm and pulled me back. "you used to be a freak to." dustin whispered. i looked at him, acting confused, but really.. i was shocked. dustin had never said anything like that to me. "he's right. you where. until you got into highschool and you felt the need to fake who you really where just so you could fit in with the popular kids!" mike whisper-yelled. I turned slightly red. they where right. i didn't actually enjoy cheer, i enjoyed the reputation i got from it. i was so afraid to be bullied.. so i tried out for the team in my freshman year. and ever since then. i've cheered for hawkins high-school. "mike, i don't have time for this. im not going end of discussion!" i scoffed. "you know sarah, you have really changed" mike said looking at me. "i think i loved the old you more. She was my sister- but you-.. your not. i don't even know who you are anymore" mike said. i could tell he wanted to cry. then- the guilt came over me. i started to feel bad and i looked at my shoes. then i turned my attention back to my lunch table, chrissy was staring "is everything ok?" she mouthed. i nodded and looked at mike. "look guys. i have to go. i'm sorry." i said, walking off. yeah. i felt like a terrible sister. but my reputation mattered more, this was the last basketball game. so after this, i would never cheer again. so of course.. i did the right thing and chose the championship game... isn't that the right thing? i shook my head trying to get rid of all the bad things my inner-self was saying and sat back down at the table. "hey guys" i said- faking a smile. "is everything okay?" patrick said. i nodded. "why where those freaks talking to you?" jason said, chewing his food. I looked at Lucas. Then back at jason. "they asked me if i wanted to go to their hellfire meeting" i said, faking a laugh. the whole table began laughing "their such weirdos!" Jason yelled as he continued laughing. I slightly smiled and turned around to look at my brother. He was staring at our table and shaking his head- it looked like.. he was crying? I turnt back around "so- where where we?" i said.

TIMESKIP TO RIGHT BEFORE THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
I was in the gym, with our basketball team
and cheerleaders and our couches. It was 7:15 the game started at 8:00 and they didn't let people in until 7:45 i had my cheer uniform on with my hair in a high ponytail- my bangs and two strands of hair where left out. I began thinking about the hellfire meeting. and how i completely turned mike and dustin down. i thought about what they said..
"you used to be a freak."
"i loved the old you more."
I felt my eyes watering. Chrissy noticed and looked at me, "what's wrong sarah?" she said. I looked at her and held back the tears. "oh nothing.. i think i just need some fresh air." i mumbled, quickly getting up and rushing to the gym doors- pushing them open. I ran outside and began crying- but not too
much so my mascara and eyeliner wouldn't mess up. I turned my head and looked at the middle school. that's where the hellfire meeting was.. right through those doors.i felt my body begin moving towards the door. "forget the championship." i mumbled to my self. I ran to the middle school doors a pushed them open, then i went to the second room on the left, and walked in to see the hellfire club.

MIKES POV:
we sat in the empty classroom with dnd on the table. Eddie was slightly frustrated because me and dustin didn't find a sub for tonight. "it is not that hard to find a person to play dnd!!" eddie yelled. "we tried.. but everybody was going to the championship." dustin said nervously. just as eddie was about to yell again... the door pushed open quickly. and in walked sarah. i looked at her as my face lit up. "sarah..what are you doing here?!" i said getting out of my seat. "i'm here to play dnd.. duh" sarah snickered, pulling me in for a hug. I turnt around and looked at Eddie. He was so checking her out. "well hell-o sweetheart." Eddie said slowly stepping forward. I gave him a weird look. "dude.. that my sister." i scoffed. Eddie looked at me "wheeler, you didn't tell me your sister was a hottie." eddie said, stopping about two feet infront of sarah. i gagged and looked at sarah, she was blushing, they where holding intense eye contact. I walked over and sat down.
