A Not So Strait Love Story

Chapter 2

*Poke*

What was that?

*Poke*

I'm trying to sleep!

*Poke*

One more time and I'll...

*Poke*

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" I open my eyes and scream at whoever is poking me! Then I realize it's Ava.

"I..." Ava starts. "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!" Ava screams. "I don't want a dead roommate! I don't want to go to jail." Ava starts running out of the room mumbling to herself about not wanting to go to jail.

Dang it, now I feel bad. Stupid Ava. She should know I'm not a morning person even though I just meet her! Whatever, she should know! I look over at my clock. It's already 7:50! Breakfast starts at 8:00! I run to my closet and throw on jeans and a T-shirt. I also grab my tennis shoes and throw my tangly hair in a messy bun. I run out the door silently cursing myself for oversleeping. As I run down the sidewalk to the cafeteria I crash straight into what feels like a wall. I fall backwards and look up not to see a wall but a very attractive male. Then I realize that it's not any male, it's the male from yesterday with the ginger. I blush and suddenly feel self conscience of my terrible outfit.

"Oh my god!" I look up to see the ginger looking at me in shock. "Ryan! Don't just sit there, help her up!" He yells at the guy I ran into. "I got your back, girly!" He says in a high pitch voice as he winks at me. Ew! The boy, Ryan I think, helps me up. The ginger smiles at me. "I'm Erin and this is my boyfriend, Ryan!" Erin wraps me in a tight hug and I awkwardly wave at Ryan.

"Christine." I say. "And thank you for helping me up." I smile at Ryan.

"No problem." Ryan says in his amazing Australian accent while giving me a small smile.

"Are you sure you're okay girl?" Erin asks me. I nod. "Okay then, we'll walk you to the cafeteria." Erin grabs Ryan's hand. Gross! Then we walk to the cafeteria together.

Once we get in the cafeteria, I get my breakfast and go to find Ava. I find her in about five seconds. I sit across the table from her and she looks up just long enough to see that it's me. Then she continues to eat her oatmeal without looking up. "What time did you first try to get me up?" I ask her.

"5:02." Ava says looking away. "Well, I got up at 3:38. I thought that I would let you sleep alittle. But you didn't wake up. So I tryed everything, but it turns out that poking for a hour worked!" She grins proudly.

"Um... Thank you?" I say.  She nods still grinning. We eat the rest of the lunch in slience.

After breakfast, I go to my homeroom class. Disappointly, it was history. I don't like history. The teacher talks about boring stereotypical 'first day of school' stuff. Every teacher pretty much does. As school goes on I have class with a couple people I regonize. Ava is in two of my classes. The other 5 have Erin in them. He is really annoying. One of the classes with Erin has Ryan in it also. Three words some up the experience with Ryan and Erin in the same class. Kill. Me. Now. It was terrible. I mean PDA much? They were ALL over each other. I could barely sit in that class without throwing up. They were on desks and against the wall pretty much eating each other. I mean EW!! It was bad. Even for a normal couple that would have been bad. Ironic enough it was Chemistry class.

Once Chemistry was finally over. Thank the Lord. I got through the rest of my classes. I was excited that my last class was study hall! Ava was in it with me. Dispointly Ryan and Erin were also. Ava helped me do my homework the whole time so I didn't have to watch what ever the couple was doing.

Once it was time for cheer, I couldn't be happier! Cheer is like my break from all of the world. No more boys making out! It's like my safe haven. I am so happy to meet my new team! As we walked in, Coach Ali told us our new stunts groups were posted in the back and that once we found our team to get warmed up and do a simple prep. I looked for my name and as I got to group 3, I read the names.

Flyer- Christine Overland. Yes! I am flying!

Main Base- Diane Gilli. I don't know her. I hope she's nice.

Assist- Ethan Everst. I don't know him either.

Back- Ryan Sickor. Oh no. That is the Ryan I know. At least Erin's not here...

Front- Erin Watt. Freak. NO!!!!! Any one but him! This isn't fair! Cheer was supposed to be a break from him but no... he has to be here! My luck sucks.

"OHMYGOSH! Christine!" I heard a happy high pitched voice say. Erin. "You are in our group! This is awesome! Right, Ryan?"

"Of course!" Ryan said in a smile. "If I'm going to be stuck holding someone's butt, it might as well be yours." Ryan laughed at his own joke. Erin frowned and elbowed Ryan. "What?" Ryan asked in a joking voice towards Erin. "It was a joke."

"I know." Erin said in a smile. "I was just messing with you." I know he was actually upset that Ryan gets to back me. Haha. Then Erin kissed Ryan. This time the kiss was short. Thank you! "Let's go warm up that prep!" Erin said dragging Ryan behind him. "We have two other people to meet!" Erin started skipping. I followed behind them. Oh my. This is going to be a long year...
