Chapter Seven

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

Todays the day, tryout day to be exact. Todays the day I see if all of this training has paid off. I really really hope it did because the last thing I want to be is a prissy over-excited-about-nothing cheerleader. I woke up to the melodic sounds of Lady Gaga's song "Sexy Ugly" and the ringing of my alarm clock. I reached my hand over to my left and started smacking my nightstand. Until the ringing stopped and the music didn't I realized it wasn't coming from the clock.

Groaning, I pulled myself out of bed and followed the music down the hall and into the blue and white bathroom. The sight before me had me weirded out to the fullest, my dad was shaving while singing along to the tunes. "Everybody wants to be like us filthy glamorous. We know how to party... sexy ugly." He then turned the razor off for a second before proceeding to sing into the silver device like a microphone. "Rock like us silly and gorgeous. Real hot body... sexy ugly."

I sighed as he continued to sing, oblivious to the fact that I was watching. Spirits... give me strength. I walked back into my room and took a quick shower before getting ready. I went into my closet and got dressed. When my hair finished drying I laced up my all black converses with the red checkered laces. That being done I stuffed my homework into my backpack and my gym clothes into a small gym bag and heading down the steps.

"Aye your up!" My dad said from the kitchen.

I walked into the kitchen after leaving my bags on the steps. "Yep up and feeling pretty sexy ugly." I said smiling as I sat down at the big rectangular table. He placed a plate of eggs, hash browns and toast on my plate before getting his own.

"Oh shi-crap thats today isn't it, my daughter... on the guys basketball team." He said high-fiving me.

"So were you on any sports teams?" I asked him taking a bite of toast.

"No, I was way to dorky for that well until I met this smoking hot basketball player." He said.

Whoa whoa whoa hold the phone. I nearly choked on my omlet as the words left his mouth. "Wait dad... you were crushing in a umm... male basketball player?" I coughed out as I reached for my glass of OJ. He smiled, he really picked a bad time to smile.

His smile got even wider exposing his vampire like teeth. "No, the basketball player was your mother." he replied taking another bite of toast. My jaw tightened as the mention of that witches name.

I forced a smile on my face. "They what happened?" I asked. I really didn't want to know the anwser but I figured I might as well find out how them two met. He looked off into space as he started to talk. " like I said I was completely dorky so I didn't go to the games. One day a friend dragged me to one and thats where I met your mother. Feeling bolder than freaking ever I approached her and started using some admittedly horribad pickup lines." He got up and walked over to the window.

"I still remember one of them ending with something about her clothes looking even better off her." He smiled in remembrance. "She never got offended and even laughed at a few and after talking to her I got her number. After hanging around for a while I asked her out and to my surprise she said yes." "By that time I had improved in my game department and we dated throughout the year... I love that crazy woman.n his voice got hoarse near the end and I could he was holding in his emotions. He turned away from the window and gave me a weak smile. "Well... you know the rest." He finished as he sat back down and started to play with the food on his plate with a somber expression on his face.

Seeing him down made me feel horrible for even asking. The resentment I felt for my mother rose in my throat like a bitter poison. "Yeah I know the rest. She got pregnant at 17 and you two got married. Soon she realized it was a mistake and things were "moving too fast" then she cheated on you then divorced you and left me without so much as a damn goodbye." I said, my tone bitter.
