CHAPTER 6: OH MY GOD AND ALSO HELP!

I stood blinking and gulping for what seemed like a very painful millennia until my brain finally made contact with my mouth and I managed to spit out the words: ‘Um Bex Jackson, I'm new.’

‘Hmm,’ she looked me up and down her eyes piercing through my body. Then her pout turned into a perfect smile, ‘I guess you’ll do. You a sophomore?’

I shook my head unable to speak, ‘er no, I'm a junior.’

She frowned, ‘but you look so young!’ she turned to Stacie, ‘Doesn’t she look young?’

Stacie nodded in agreement then turned to face me. ‘What have you got first thing?’

‘Um,’ I fumbled for my class schedule, ‘Spanish in building four?’ it came out as a question.

‘Cute, that's the same as Caz! Isn’t it?’

‘Indeed.’ The other girl replied. ‘Well we better get going if we don’t want to be late. So not in the mood for a tardy on the first day!’

Caz wheeled around and began marching across the parking lot. Stacie shoved me forward and I had to do a quick jog to catch up with her.

‘Hey Caz!’ somebody male called out.

‘What Josh?’ she queried without turning around or slowing her fast pace.

‘There’s no awkwardness between us is there?’

She stopped walking so abruptly I almost crashed into her. Raising an eyebrow she stared up at him. ‘Jeez babe, it was only one time. I’d forgotten about it if I’m honest.’

Whatever they were referring to made this Josh kid look crestfallen. ‘Oh um okay then, maybe see you later?’

‘Sure.’ She said it in a way that made me feel that hell would freeze over before ‘later’ arrived.

When we reached the building and were out of ear shot I managed to pluck up the courage to ask her what all that had been about.

‘Oh nothing really,’ she replied, ‘basically we slept together and now he thinks he’s got some moronic claim on me. Cute really.’

‘Wait, you had sex?’ I was incredulous, and the words had fallen out of my mouth before I could help them. Talk about verbal diarrhoea. I doubled even Kaylee Bennet had had sex at my old school.

She stared at me like I was a complete prat. ‘Got a problem with that?’

‘no.’ I shook my head frantically, but she had already pushed open a classroom door and strode in.

Realising as first impressions went I wasn’t making a particularly good one I took a deep breath and followed her into the room. Come on Rebecca!

Inside the classroom, Caz was milling about with a group of girls near the back. ‘Oh there she is!’ she hollered to me as I eventually appeared.

‘Here I am!’ I said, aiming for bubbly and achieving squeaky.

‘Jeez Caz, where did you find her?’ asked a short, skinny girl.

‘Stacie adopted her.’

‘From the gutter it looks like!’ replied the other girl.

I eyed her with a glower. Who did she think she was?! She was small and slender in the extreme, an athlete I'm guessing with cropped jet black hair that fell above her shoulders.

‘Gawd Mia!’ Caz drawled, ‘woke up on the wrong side of the bed, much?’ she turned to me, ‘don't take any notice of her, we call her moody Mia for a reason.’

Mia scowled, ‘oh and btw Caz I cant make cheer this term, I've got track.’ And with that she marched over to the desk and sat down in the chair next to a cute guy with cropped bronze hair.

‘For fucks sake! She's our only half decent flyer!’ Caz looked deeply put out. ‘You don't cheer by any chance do you hon?’

I shook my head abruptly, ‘um I've always wanted to start though?’ HAHA BIGGEST LIE EVER!

She looked me up and down. ‘No offence babe, but Mia was a flyer. You do know what that means, right?’

‘Um no...’

‘She’s the one they throw in the air... you know, she flies...’

I was about to reply when another girl butted in, ‘but to be fair she's quite little, we could train her up a bit. There’s still a while before the serious competitions begin.’

Caz raised an eyebrow, ‘well, we’ll have to put it through Sabrina, she the captain, but I don't see why not.’ She looked me up and down; her piercing gaze finally met my eyes. ‘Welcome to the team bitch!’

Well, shit.
