An Arranged Marriage... Man I'm Going To Make His Life A Living Hell.

An Arranged Marriage... Man I'm Going To Make His Life A Living Hell. 17

Lets just say it has been a fairly uneventful week. Kaleb is still trying to get under my skin, but for some strange reason he is always the one that is storming off in a fit, wonder why that is.

It Friday and also the day of the Cheerleading tryouts, and I have decided that I am going to try for the squad, of course Jesse and everyone is here to cheer me on. I think they just want to see me jump around in the little outfit.

"OMG! I can't believe that the school will even let us wear these things, they are soooo.. sooo.. man there isn't even a word to describe them," I said as I was walking out to the field where the tryouts were held.

"Yeah by you make it look so hot," Adam said, spending a little to much time looking at my chest.

"Thanks, maybe next time you will say that to my face and not my chest," I said crossing my arms. He looked up and I noticed a slight red tint in his cheeks as he turned and walked away.

I split from the group and walked over to the benches where all the other girls were sitting, thats when I noticed that Tiffany was the Headcheerleader.

Man, that is going to make things interesting.

We started the tryouts by getting rid of the students that couldn't do even the basic of gymnastic tricks. After that round was done, there was were only about fifteen left out of the fifty that were here at the beginning.

"Okay, now you will have to preform one of your own routines and myself and Mrs. Zelasky will judge you and decide whether or not you have what it takes to be a cheerleader," Tiffany said.

It was my turn, and for my routine I was reciting the Cheer from the movie bring it on, but adding some of my more difficult gymnastic tricks to the mix.

I was standing there and when the beat started I went into a standing backflip landing in the splits and then I started to dance and cheer,

“I’m sexy, I’m cute
I’m popular to boot
I’m bitchin’, great hair
The boys all love to stare
I’m wanted, I’m hot
I’m everything you’re not"

After I said that I pointed right at Tiffany, everyone started to laugh, but I swear I saw smoke come out of her ears. Then I continued on.

"I’m pretty, I’m cool
I dominate this school
Who am I? Just guess
Guys wanna touch my chest
I’m rockin’, I smile
And many think I’m vile
I’m flying, I jump
You can look but don’t you hump. Whooh!
I’m major, I roar
I swear I’m not a whore
We cheer and we lead
We act like we’re on speed
Hate us cos we’re beautiful
But we don’t like you either
We’re cheerleaders
We are cheerleaders!”

I ended with another backflip landing in the splits and throwing the pom poms into the air. Everyone in the stand stood up and cheered for me when I was done, everyone but Tiffany that is.

"Man Leandra that was amazing, we don't have anyone of your talent on this squad, you are defiantly on this squad," Mrs. Zelasky said coming up to me smiling.

"Why thank you, I hope to lead this squad to a new level of spectacular," I said giving Tiffany a little wink before walking back to the change rooms to take a shower and go home.

Gabriel was waiting for me outside the school and I quickly jumped in his car and we headed home. After our conversation the other day we haven't really said two words to each other. But that was going to change tonight, I am going to tell him something that I haven't told anyone but Kelly. Hopefully that will help him to understand why I am the way I am, well sort of.

It was later that night and I was standing outside of Gabriel's door trying to build up enough courage to knock on the door.

Just do it, come on I'm sure he will understand and wont tell everyone at school. Oh sh!t I have to get out of here.

Just as I was about to turn and run Gabriel open his door.

"What are you doing out here?" He asked leaning against his door frame.

"Well, there was something that I wanted tell you, but... oh never mind," I said turning around put before I could move he grabbed my wrist.

"Come on in," He said, though he didn't really give me a choice as he dragged me into his room and sat me down on the bed, "So what did you want to tell me?"

"Well, you have to promise me that you wont tell anyone, especially your mother, what I am about to tell you," I said and he shook his head yes.

"Well, back to that conversation that was started at dinner last week, about why I didn't go to worlds, it really has a lot to do with the way that I am now a day." I said looking at my hands and not at him.

"I had a friend Amy, her and I were going to go to worlds together. It was the best day of my life, Amy, who was practically my sister, and I were going to Worlds together. I wanted to go out and celebrate at a party that I knew was going on, I always was up for a good party but that wasn't Amy scene. Of course I convinced her to go, and that was how my whole world was turned up side down." I could feel my eyes start to water but I refused to cry in front of anyone.

"I had to much to drink, another person who wanted to challenge me to a shot-by-shot, well during the contest I didn't notice the guys in the corner slip something into Amy's drink or them drag her into a nearby room. At least I didn't know until it was to late."

"I was sitting in one of the chairs about to pass out when I heard some of the guys bragging about screwing a World Athlete, and I knew it wasn't me so that only meant Amy. Amy was one of those people who wanted to wait till marriage, that meant everything to her. I don't know how but she found a gun and by the time I found out which room she was in, all's I saw was her brain on the wall."

"I didn't know what to think, I just witnessed my sister blow her brains out, all I saw was red. I went out to the main room and I just went crazy. I started beating on those guys hitting them with what ever I could find. I was shouting about how the killed my friend and stuff like that, no one knew what I was talking about till one of the girls found Amy's body and screamed. Thats when the police finally showed up."

"I was taken away, and had to explain what happened. My mother and father wouldn't let them release my name in any papers, thats probably why you and your mother didn't know about it."

I finally looked up and saw that he was staring at me with sadness in his eyes, "I remember hearing about that, I can't believe that happened to you. Its just insane."

"Yeah after that I kind of fell of the wagon, I just completely lost it I became addicted to drugs and just kept drinking till that image of Amy would disappear and then start drinking again when it came back. It took about a year till my parents noticed that something was wrong with me and sent me to AA. I decided that if Amy had to die, I mine as while die too, so thats why I tried to disappear too."

"Well it all kind of makes sense now, thats why you have so many commitment issues, you don't want to get close to any one else afraid that they will leave you like Amy did," he said giving me a very sad look.

"Yeah thats what I wanted to tell you, but its getting late and I am going to go to bed now. I will talk to you tomorrow. Bye," I said then quickly left his room and went into mine.
