Chapter 8: Sean

Seeing Junior kiss Ashton broke my heart. I shoved my way past everyone. Kay tried stopping me I couldn't hear her over the roar of the crowd of students cheering Junior on for kissing another girl. If only they knew.

Tears were streaming my face. I hurriedly ran out of the double wide doors and fell outside I leaned against the wall. Nobody would find me because everyone was in the gym watching Junior kiss Ashton. Someone he has despised since Freshman Year. Or maybe he hadn't.
Maybe we were both just pawns of the same game.
I thought hard already feeling a headache coming on.

He may have liked Ashton and made out with me as a joke. Or a bet! Being a Senior I was one of the most inexperienced in our school. But why would he do that? He was my best friend. Tears pierced my skin and rolled down my cheek as gravity pulled them down.

"Sean?" I heard a voice.

I got to my feet wiped my tears off and brushed them on my jeans, and turned around to face Carter.

"Uh hey. It just was really hot in there." I stammered.

"Yeah, Of course." He didn't buy it I could tell. He pulled me to him and I clung to his chest.

"Take me away?" I asked tears flowing now and onto Carter's shirt.

"How could I not?" He said grabbing my hand and walking me through the hallways.

Carter walked me out the doors into the sunshine.

"Skip class with me?" Carter said opening his car door.

"yeah." I mumbled still shaken up. Skipping class wasn't my thing. But we had only one period left and I was perfectly okay with missing it seeing as I was already so ahead of the class.

He opened the car door for me and then walked around to the driver's side

"Tell me about it." Was all he had to say for me to explode.

"I fell in love with Junior when I was about 13. I was innocent and didn't know better. I fell hard too. I used to always follow him around and write him secret notes. He knew it was me for a long time but never said anything and then High school came and he was my best friend. He seemed okay with that so I put up with it just to spend time with him. Then he saw you and I thought I saw jealousy but I dismissed the idea and the he made out with me and I ran away. Why I have no clue? It was perfect he was perfect. But I don't know! I'm such a horrible person!" I busted out in tears.

"Okay for me to be love doctor you have to give me permission to intervene" Carter said driving down some roads I'd never been down before. Sad to say I grew up here. But they just put this subdivision in. I didn't think it was this huge and well gorgeous!

"Okay I give you permission." I said looking out the window.

He drove up in a driveway and parked walking around opening my door and helping me out he grabbed my hand kissed it and said, "Sean, jealousy is a horrible rage of a thing. It could easily turn a man to an insanity asylum. Yet, if we make him jealous. He will want you more than anything else. Especially with me about to steal his spot on the football team. Coach Brick already said I will be quarterback and Junior got bumped down to running back or second string even." He smiled.

I was surprised. Then I realized I'd never seen Carter play. Ashton would eat him up.

"I'm game." I said through an expression of anger, and revenge.

"One thing. Join the cheerleading squad. It'll add to tension." He stated staring at me

"Wha-what!" I yelled.

"Sean. With you as a cheerleader you will be at every game and cheering me on. It'd bump you up in the social structure of things and more guys will want to get with you bringing up Junior's attention. This isn't the first time I have handled the ropes at a new school. I am quite used to dominating. In academics and sports." He said smiling walking me into his house. I was scared for Junior. Carter would blindside him and take his spot. Knowing Junior he'd be really depressed maybe I should make an appearance and comfort him. No he deserves it. I thought to myself. And walked into Carter's house and be can phase 1. Become one of the cult of cheerleaders. What was I getting myself into?
