Sieara's outfit for today👆

So let's just say that the boy you thought would save you from falling actually couldn't care less. He just avoids you. Completely.

Schools done and I'm on my way to try out for cheerleading. My thoughts just can't stop wandering off to Kyle. I mean how hard is it to erase a guy from your head? Actually don't answer that, I will answer for you...It's hard. Very hard.

I've already changed into my cheerleading costume- the one I bought with Lucy and...Ariana.

I could see the cheerleaders practicing a few metres ahead.

"Well, I guess it's now or never." I muttered to myself, nervously slinging my training bag further up my shoulder.

My training bag is way heavier than expected. I'm happy I left my school bag in my locker.

"What is she doing here?" Kim sneered, tugging Chantelle's arm.

Chantelle shook Kim's hand of her arm irritatedly.

"Stop touching me Kim! I'm busy!" Chantelle snapped, rolling her eyes before turning around.

Her eyes travelled slowly across the field until meeting mine.

"Ugh, what is she doing here?" Chantelle sneered, catching Ms. Lantner's attention.

"Oh Sieara, I'm so happy you're here." She genuinely smiled, jogging over to me.

"Thank you Ms. Lantner, I was wondering if I could join the team?" I asked, as she guided me closer towards the team.

She nodded before clapping her hands.

Once all the girls were crowded around her, either stretching or resting, she began talking.

"So, I'm sure you all know Sieara?" Ms. Lantner welcomed me, pausing for any reactions.

"Obvi, she's the nerd, slut and boyfriend stealer that doesn't deserve anything!" Chantelle suggested in a 'D'uh' tone.

That little- Calm down Sieara. You need to set a good example for yourself in front of Ms Lantner and the team.

"Chantelle, do you like cheerleading?" Ms. Lantner asked Chantelle, an evil glint in her eye.

"Obvi Coach. I mean cheerleading is my life!" She frowned, looking at her nails.

"Well, your life seems to be more committed in ruining Sieara's image than cheerleading. Either you become a good captain or someone else will." Ms. Lantner tutted, trying to hide the smile pulling at the corner of her lips.

Chantelle huffed in response before rolling her eyes.

Wow, Ms. Lantner is officially my favourite teacher.

"Anyways as I was saying, Sieara shall perform a few tricks for us and if you believe she is good enough for the team then raise your hand, if not then keep your hands remained down." She explained, pointing over to the bleachers.

The cheerleaders skipped across the field, sitting gracefully onto the bleachers. Their attention soon shifted from gossip to me.

"Let's do this" I cheered myself on, throwing my bag to the side.

-----------------------------

I hit the top of my alarm tiredly. Training was tough yesterday, especially after Ms. Lantner left to do some errands; this meant leaving Chantelle in charge.
