Her Story

Love to Cheer

I was in ELA class and Aaron was acting like everything was normal. Everything was not normal!

The bell rang, signalling that class was over and I started to pack up my stuff. Aaron was long gone and mostly everyone else was out of the classroom.

I made my way to the door when a familliar voice called after me. I turned around and walked over to Mrs. Jones.

"Avalon, I was very impressed with your writing on the essay, and I am not impressed easily." She said.

I laughed.

"Anyways, I would like you to join the creative writing club. I think you'd be an exellent member." Mrs. Jones said.

"I don't know..." I started.

"Think about it." Mrs. Jones said smiling.

I nodded and walked out of the class. Maybe I should join the writing club, I could get extra credit for that.

I have math next and I'm heading to Mr. Wilsons class.

During class, I zoned out and started to draw in my notebook. The class went by fast and Mr. Wilson let us have the last 5 minutes to talk.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to find Chase.

"Hey, I forgot to give this back." Chase said, holding a pencil.

"Uh, that's not mine..." I said, chuckling a little.

"Oh, right. I guess I just needed an excuse to talk to you." He said sheepishly.

"Okay, talk." I said, getting up to pack up my things.

"That prank you pulled on Aaron, was amazing." Chase said.

"Oh, I've been getting that alot lately." I said like it was nothing.

"Yeah because nobody else has the guts to do it." He said, amazed.

As I was putting my notebook into my bag, my phone dropped. Chase immedietly picked it up.

"Woah, you got the new iPhone?" Chase said, observing my phone.

"Yeah, my mom likes to spoil me." I said.

He gave it back once he was done typing something into it.

"Thanks."

The bell rung and everyone started to leave.

"You know, even though most girls drool over Aaron, they would never prank him." Chase said.

I smiled and leaned in so that only he can hear what I'm saying.

"What if I'm not like other girls?" I whispered, teasingly and walked out of the classroom.

"Okay girls, that was great. But let's do it one more time and we'll call it a day." Mia said to the cheer team.

I smiled catching my breath and got back into position.

The music started and everyone started doing their part for the routine. The moves are so fast I can't believe I'm keeping up... with the Kardashions.

After more exhilerating flips and stunts, we were done.

"Alright, ladies! That was amazing!" Mia said. "The first football game is in a week so next practice we can work on more cheers for that."

Everyone started their own conversations and started to pack up. Emma and I walked out of the gym side by side.

"Did Aaron say anything in your class?" Emma asked after a while.

"Nope. Not one word." I replied.

"Aaron is not the type to get humiliated and be okay with it."

"Uh, is anyboby?" I said laughing and pushing the school doors open. "He will want revenge and he will prank me again. But I'll be ready."

"You will be, but I won't." Emma said as we started laughing.

We were talking more about the next time we will have a girls night when a car horn scared me out of my skin.

"What the hell?" I said looking at the car that provided the horn honking.

I was surprised to see Chase laughing his butt off in the drivers seat. Once he calmed down he motioned me to come over. Emma elbowed me in the side and wriggled her eyebrows.

I rolled by eyes and waved goodbye. She walked to her moms car and I walked over to Chase.

"Care to explain why you had to scare the living daylights out of me?" I said walking up to his car.

"That was the only way to get your attention. Get in, I'll give you a ride." He said grinning.

"No that's okay, you don't ha-"

"Nope, get in." Chase said cutting me off.

I smiled at him and got in the passenger seat.

"Bossy." I muttered.

"What was that?" Chase said cupping his ear.

"Nothing." I said giving him a toothy grin.

He chuckled and started driving.

"So do you normally hang around after school for 2 hours, or is that a one time thing?" I asked.

"Haha, very funny. I had football practice and decided to be a good person and give you a ride." Chase said.

I gave him directions to the way to my house and couldn't help but look at him. He actually was good looking, he has a soft shade of chestnut, brown hair, and has these deep green eyes that you could get lost in if you look into for too lon-

"I know I'm beautiful, but it's not nice to stare." Chase said smiling, breaking me out of my thoughts. I immeaditly looked away feeling my cheeks getting hot.

"Take a picture, it will last longer." He said, looking back onto the road. We were almost to my house.

I smirked getting an idea. I pulled my phone out and took out the camera. I quickly snapped a picture before Chase can protest.

"I didn't want you to actually take a picture..." Chase said trying to look serious, but I can see the smile creeping on his lips, his soft, pink lips.

"Well, I already did." I said as we pulled up into my driveway.

"Thanks for giving me a ride." I said getting out.

"No problem. Too bad you live so close, things were just getting started." Chase said with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes and couldn't stop myself from laughing. I closed the door and walked up to my front door. I used my key to open it and looked back to see that Chase hasn't left yet.

I opened the door and waved to him. He smiled and waved back, then started to pull out of the driveway. I walked into the house to find my mother and Lucas in the livingroom, watching t.v.

"Why are you so happy?" My mom asked, not taking her eyes off the t.v.

It was only then I realized that I was smiling like an idiot.

"Oh, I just got a good grade on my essay and was invited to join the creative writing club." I said, not telling her about Chase. Actually there is nothing to tell her, he just gave me a ride.

"Oh, I thought for sure it was that boy who gave you a ride." Mom said grinning.

"Oh... Wait, what?" I said.

Mom chuckled. "I'm just messing with you. But he was cute."

"Mom!"

"Just messing with you!" Mom replied.

"Ooo! Ava's got a boyfriend!" Lucas said, sticking his tounge out at me.

"I hope you can run fast." I said.

Lucas's eyes went wide and started to run with his laughter filling the air. I started to chase after him and when I caught him, I tickled him like there was no tomorrow.
