The Cheerleader •Daryl Dixon AU•

Four

Olivia dressed for school and opted for jeans, a tee and hightops, a very casual look for her but she wasnt in the mood to look as glamorous as she had done before. As she finished applying mascara she heard Shane on the phone to Rick boasting about what had happened the night before, of course he made it sound as if it wasnt the first time he had ever had sex with Olivia, and she pulled a face when he made out they had done all manner of positions.

"Last night was the best, my folks are away this weekend, we can do that all weekend" he said in a sexy voice as he rubbed her thighs in her jeans "come on, we best pick get to school" Olivia replied not answering his question and grabbing her bag, heading downstairs.

As Olivia drove she felt Shane's hand on her thigh, it was grazing up and down and made her think to what happened the night before, she always heard you feel different after losing your virginity but she felt the same old Olivia, and her love for Shane certainly wasnt stronger, if anything now she felt in doubt of him being a virgin too, but she had no one to talk to about it with. Lori and Andrea thought Olivia was the first one from the group to lose it way back when she got with Shane. She sighed at her predicament, driving with one hand on her forehead with her arm resting on the window and the other on the wheel.

Meeting the group at the school canteen she was met by Rick and Lori who again were making out while TDog was showing Andrea some vines on his phone "whats the plan for the game tonight?" Shane asked breaking Rick and Lori up "fancy some beers after at The Point?" Rick suggested to the group. The Point was a creek where the group and a few others would hang after hours and drink and smoke. "My dad's back tonight so I cant be late" Olivia sighed "so I'll probably leave after we cheer" she added checking her watch for the time "come on girls we best practice" she said elbowing Andrea and knocking on the table to stop Lori tackling Rick's tonsils. They followed her out each one either side of her "you made up with Shane?" Andrea asked as they strolled "yea, he came stayed last night" Olivia blankly replied "ooooh" the girls said in unison followed by giggles which she pulled a face at.

Daydreaming Olivia wasnt paying attention and crashed into another body and landed on her behind "Jesus! Look where you are going you freak!" Lori snapped at the other person as Olivia got to her feet seeing it was Daryl who looked apologetic "its fine Lori" Olivia mumbled slightly embarrassed "are you okay? i wasnt looking" Daryl asked ignoring her friend's remarks "yea, i wasnt looking either, sorry" Olivia apologised clutching her bag, they smiled at eachother before Andrea interrupted "bye loser" she spat ushering him away, he nodded, shaking his head at Andrea and went about his business "Andrea, please" Olivia scolded "leave him be" she added rolling her eyes at her friend.

She wasnt in the best mood to be cheering so she let Lori and Andrea lead, they wanted her position after all and the way Olivia felt they were welcome to it. As they flipped, spun and jumped Olivia noticed Daryl walk into the gym with his bag on his shoulder and headphones in his ear, she watched him as he sat on the corner of the benched seats and her stomach filled with butterflies when he nodded her way, she smiled at him as she got to the top of the pyramid.

"That Daryl kid is in here" Lori whispered to Andrea with Olivia in ear shot "he's got some weird obsession with us" Andrea responded as they giggled bitchily "leave him alone he isnt harming anyone" Olivia snapped "is this all we do? Bitch, Tease and take the piss out of people?" She scoffed in disbelief at her actions "maybe someone we know has an obsession with the new kid" Lori teased nudging Olivia "Shane will have a field day scaring him off" she added to Olivia's chagrin. "Drop it Lori" She snapped in response finishing her water and leaving the gym knowing the girls would be pathetically debating whether to follow her or not.

After the game in which Shane's team won the group went to celebrate at The Point "you sure you cant come girl?" Lori pleaded to Olivia who was about to get in her car. She sighed, she could do with some fun and a beer after the way she has been feeling but her dad would be pissed if she wasnt home within the hour of the game finishing. "I'll see you guys tomorrow" she weakly smiled, looking towards Shane who had two cheerleaders giggling at all his words wiping the smile from her face.

As she drove away from the school carpark she saw a familiar face standing looking frustrated at his phone, it was Daryl. "You okay?" She called out from her driver window making him jump "bike wont start!" He sighed. Olivia looked in her rear view mirror to her friends who were laughing and joking amongst themselves "get in i'll give you a ride" she said leaning over to open the passenger door "no its fine, thankyou" he politely declined looking towards her friends, Olivia smirked "come on, i wont tell if you wont" she teased. Daryl grabbed his bag and hopped in her car "nice car" he commented as he buckled up.

"So where do you live?" She asked as they drove away from the school "its this way" he replied seeming reluctant to say anymore "you new round here or something? Being new at the school and all?" She asked trying to get a conversation from him "kinda. Got kicked out my last three schools" he explained, Olivia looked to him for me "fighting, drugs, usual shit" he added "oh" Olivia replied as she took it in "i think it will be the same here" he sighed looking at the window "why?" She asked as they stopped at a junction as Daryl pointed left he replied "your ape of a boyfriend". Olivia sighed, and shook her head "im sorry about him, he can be a real jackass" she apologised, she had done so before but with Shane it felt constant "I hope he doesnt make it all bad for you, he usually gets bored quick and moves on" she explained as if that would make things alright. "We'll see" he replied. Olivia was about to turn into a trailer park "down here?" She asked wondering if she had taken a wrong turn "nah this is it. Home" he replied sarcastically "bit out your comfort zone here aint ya Paris Hilton?" he teased making her laugh "thanks for the lift, i appreciate it" he added smiling at her "for a cheerleader you arnt as bitchy as those friends of yours" he said looking back before leaving the car "or the ape"

She watched Daryl walk to his trailer, picking the keys up from underneath the mat he looked back at her and held his arm up to wave her off.

Now it was time to go to her home, a lot different to Daryl's.
