I walked out of school as my wavy brown hair swung back and forth in its ponytail. I turned to the other girls on the cheer leading squad and waved at them.
"Later, Cyrina!" Some of them yelled as Shane pulled up in his car.
"Don't you think that if you were a cheer leader, you would be popular?" He asked.
"I prefer to be well known in a good way," I replied as I opened the passenger set door. i slid in and threw my bag onto the hard floor of the car with a plunk. I turned on the radio and began flipping through stations, seeing if anything good was playing.
After switching through every station, none of which were playing anything good, I pulled a pen from my bag.
"Wanna play Buzz?" I asked.
"What's that? A drinking game or something?"
"No. So, I take my pen and on the palm of your hand, I write a name. On the other side," I said, flipping over his hand. "I write a time. That's the time you can look at the name. If you look at the name before the time, you have to ask out that person."
"I'm game," he said, taking the pen from my hand. He scribbled a name onto my palm and then wrte a time. I glanced at the time on my hand, 6:30.
20 minutes... I thought as I fought the urge to look at the name on my hand.
"Ace?" I exclaimed when I looked at the name.
"Muahahahah! You know have to ask out Ace!" Shane said, in triumph.
"Crap..." I muttered, pulling out my cell phone. I dialed Ace's number and the phone rang.
"Hey, Ace," I said as Shane snickered in the background.
"Hey, Cyrina. What's up?"
"Nothing, just playing Buzz with Shane."
"Oh, in that case, my answer's no."
"Oh thank god!" I yelled, hanging up. I smirked at Shane right as he parked right outside my house. I waved to Shane and got out of his dads car.
"I'll text you what we're singing later," I said, walking to my front door.
I laid on my bed, possible song ideas going through my head, but none of them seemed right. I picked up my phone and scrolled through my contacts. I stopped at Kiyas number and grinned, remembering when we first talked.
"Wait, so how is your name spelled?" The 10 year old Kiya said.
"C-Y-R-I-N-A but it's pronounced like Serena," I had replied.
I grinned as I typed to Kiya, who had become one of my best friends.
A song idea? She replied to my text.
Yeah, ill call you. I clicked the call button and she answered on the first ring.
"So, why do you need duet songs?" She asked.
"Shane is making me sing in Star Struck so I'm forcing him to sing a duet with me," I replied.
"Ohhh," Kiya said. "Why don't you sing You Make Me Feel by Cobra Starship?" She asked.
"Let me look it up," I said, hanging up. I walked over to my laptop that had it's screen saver of pictures or my friends and I going on and off the screen. I put my finger on the track pad right as a picture of me sneaking up on Brandee, Tatiana, and Kayla while holding a bucket of ice water faded off. The screen that was currently on the screen was conveniently YouTube so i moved the cursor over to the search bar and clicked on it. I typed in 'you make me feel' and by then, several suggestions had popped up. I clicked on the first video and the music started.
IThe song ended and I picked up my phone to tell Shane what song we were singing. I clicked his number and after about ten rings, his phone sent my to voice mail. I hung up, without leaving a message and i curled up on my bed, ready for sleep.

I groggily rolled out of my comfy bed as my alarm blared my son gof choice from my iPod which wa currently Smosh's Legend of Zelda rap. I slammed my hand onto the snooze button and the song stopped, halfway through. I rolled onto the ground with a thud and I slowly pulled myself off the floor, trying not to take forever. I took one look at the date on my iPod and practically flipped out.
Saturday?! Why am I up at this ungodly hour?! I thought as the iPod numbers changed to 8 am. I set down my iPod and crawled back into bed, trying not to punch anything as my cat, Luna, curled up on my stomach.
I pulled myself out of bed for the second time today as the sun shined over my head through my skylight. I dragged myself downstairs while Luna waddled behind me. I squished the fluffy carpeting beneith my feet as it curled around my toes.
I got downstairs and by then i had tripped enough to be wide awake. I saw a sheet of paper on the kitchen counter and I lifted it up, curling my fingers around one side.
Cyrina, I had to run to work. I'm sorry, I now you wanted to make cupcakes. I left you things to make cupcakes, money for food and you can invite your friends over.
Of course she had to work. She always has to work! I sighed and set down the note on the counter. I sent out a text to Shane, Caitlin, Lena, Ace, Jace, Ally, and Mikayla asking them all to come to my house. I started getting out the bowls and ingredients for the cupcakes and the doorbell rang. I went to the door and opened it, grinning at the sight of my eight best friends in the world all standing on my doorstep.
I heard the timer ding loudly through the chaos that had been exploding through the kitchen for the past hour.
"Mikayla!" I yelled. "Can you get those? She opened the overn, wearing oven mits and out the finished rainbow colored cupcakes on the counter. I felt a thump hit my back and fall to the ground. I turned to see Shane with flour coated hands, grinning devilishy. I stuck my hand into a bag of flour and tossed it. I watched as it missed him but a chunch of flour hit him in the cheek.
"Wanna keep going? I could make you sing Barney if i wanted to," I said, smirking as SHane lowered his hand that was holding a bunch of flour that was now seeping through his fingers like sand in an hour glass. Caitlin looked at Shane and snickered at the fear that was shining in his eyes.
"Who wants some cupcakes?" Ally yelled, holding up one of out seven big cans of icing. Loud cheers erupted and i poked my speakers on/off button and music began playing loudly.
"We're fucking insane, aren't we?" I asked as I turned to Lena who was smearing red icing onto her rainbow cupcake that was rainbow frosted.
"Eeyup," she said, dabbing a finger onto the icing and licking it off. I grinned and smeared a blob of green icing onto the fluffy cupcake.
