Isabella Thompson is your normal rich 17-year-old in Shallow Haven. She lives in a nice house in Figure 8, her 'loving' mother Grace, and she has everything she could ever want, or does she?
With her mother wanting one thing, and Bella wanting anoth...
The rest of the day went smoothly. Wanting to avoid suspicion, Alan played the part of perfect boyfriend, and I the perfect girlfriend. At lunch, Charlie kept bugging me about auditioning for the play. "Come on have some fun! You're," she did a little chefs kiss, " perfect for the part. Kat was made for you." The play was called A Christmas Wish, and it is basically a retelling of Cinderella. Why she chose it, who the hell knows, but it's a musical, and I don't have the time. "I don't have the time, neither of us do. We'd have to quit the cheer team." "Then let's quit!" I felt someone staring at me, but I ignored it. "What?" "Let's quit then. We spent forever on that team, we could do it after the kickoff pep rally and auditions are starting tonight." Knowing I couldn't change her mind, I nodded and realized what I just agreed to. My mom is gonna kill me.
The pep rally was ninth period and the cheerleaders had to leave early to change into our new uniforms and do our hair and make-up.

(I only used this picture for the hair ignore everything else)
Thank god for spanx or I would've been screwed massively. After I put it on, I went to go check in the mirror to see if everything was covered when my hair was pulled back by someone. I looked back to see Amy standing there, "Sorry Izzy," she said in her shrill little voice. God I wish I could kick her off the team, but that would cause trouble for me as her mom and my mom are close. I gritted my teeth and said, "It's fine Amy," while walking back to Charlie.
As I got to her she said, "Oh girlie what happened to your face?" I looked at her for a second, hoping it was some dirt before asking, "What?" "You have a bruise." "Oh that, I fell and tripped this morning, my concealer must have rubbed off." "I gotchu Belly, I always carry extra for both of our skin tones." How did I deserve her? I sat down as she covered up the rest of it, getting a bit too close to the other ones, but thankfully nothing else smudged off.
We waited in the locker room until we heard the principal about to announce us and we walked to the entrance. As he announced us, I went first since I'm captain, followed by Charlie, and then the other girls. We hyped the kids up for the football team cheering, "Let's go Lions, let's go."
I heard through the crowd, "Come on pretty girl, you can do better then that! Put some pizzaz in it!" I laughed a little and Charlie looked at me funny. I mouthed 'Alec' to her and she just shook her and laughing quietly. I spotted them in the third row, middle section, Alec mimicking our movements, Theo trying to calm him down, and asshole Luca smoking and mocking us. God I hate him. He's just so annoying stupid, and god knows he is the one of the three you should trust the least. Theo and Alec seem nice, but I have to keep my distance, lest Alan thinking I'm flirting or cheating. As the football team came in, Alan ran toward me and picked me up. I laughed along secretly begging him to put me down and acted like it was just something he did and it was cute. He finally put me down so I could go up as a flyer. They tossed me in the air and I heard a crash with Charlie yelling, "Get her she's gonna fall!" and I knew, no one's gonna catch me when I come back down. Fuck. God knows the football team isn't gonna be able to do it. If they are even an inch off I could roll out of their arms and smash on the floor. I screwed my eyes shut tight and braced for impact, but someone caught me. I was overwhelmed by a strong scent of sandalwood, cinnamon, and leather.
