Chapter 8:Tryouts

"This is stupid,"I said to Maria as we were by the football field standing in line for cheer tryouts.

We had on red T-shirt's black gym shorts and had our hair in ponytails.

"Come on you gotta have more spirit than that."she said laughing.

"Ready ok!"I said doing my impression of a cheerleader.

We started laughing  the other girls started to look at us I stopped.

"Well, I think you'll make the team,"
Maria said.

"What about you,?" I said.

She shrugged.

"I honestly want to join track."

Before I knew it I was called up I walked to a table where the other cheerleaders were sitting I walked to the middle of the table which The cheer captain.

Brittney who happens to be Brandon's girlfriend.

"Here you go," She said with a fake smile.

Then shoving me some red pom poms ever since Brandon ran after me during gym and talk got about it and spread around the school. The other cheerleaders were tearing me apart with their eyes.

I went to the middle of the field and started going through the steps in my head as the music started playing. I just kept repeating it in my head as I was following the steps trying not to focus on peoples stares.

Before I knew it the music stopped and I was done.

"You did good but I don't think you'll be fit for the team," Brittney said.

But your friend might be ready for the team she said looking at Maria. The coach walks up to us.

"Congrats girl you made the team," she said as she patted my shoulder.

Brittney frowned.
"We haven't even finished tryouts yet," she said.

"She's really good I'm putting her on the team the coach said.

"I don't think we have any uniforms that's her size," Brittney said.

"Well find her one she's on the team," the coach said walking off.

She glared at as I walked off to the another table. Where another cheerleader who had short brown hair and brown eyes handed me a uniform.

"You did great don't worry about them," she said.

"Thanks I said as I took my uniform.
"What's your name by the way I asked

"Katy she said.

"I'm Monica," I said introducing myself.

I might as well take anyone I can get as a friend while I'm on the team.
I walked to the bleachers where I seen Maria sitting.

"Hey did you make it?" she asked

"Yea I did," I said.

I told her about Brittney who obviously did not like me. Which was funny because I never interacted with her until today and now I'm going to be dealing with her everyday.

"Did you make it?" I asked.

She said that she did everything off beat so they wouldn't pick her.
We started laughing we were and walking through the parking lot.

"You need a ride?" I asked her.

She shook her head.

"Antonio giving me a ride," she said.

We kept walking until I got to my car I told her I would see her later and got in and turned my key and nothing
My car was not turning on I turned my key again and still nothing.

"Damn it!"I said getting out of my car.

I called my dad telling him about my car and that I was going to be home late. Then I called for a tow truck that would come in 20 minutes.

I saw Brandon walk up to me
"Hey what's going on?" he said.

He always popping up out of nowhere
"Not much my car won't start."

I told him I called a tow truck and was waiting.
"I can give you a ride home," he said with a smile on his face.

I didn't get it even after everything that happened and him having a girlfriend he's still nice to me. Even when I wrote him off as just another popular guy.

But maybe he is different. He still had a girlfriend who is the cheer captain and someone I have to deal with every day now.
"Are you sure that's a good idea," I said.

I told him I didn't want to start any drama with him and Brittney.
He shook his head.

"I'm just being a nice guy helping a girl out."

I think he wanted to help me out in ways that didn't involve my car.
I thought about it and I was ready to go home the tow truck could drop my car off at my house.

"Sure," I said.

We talked as we walked to his truck and he drove me home.
We pulled up to my house.
"So are you going to Homecoming?" he asked.

"I kinda have to since I'm on the cheer squad." I chuckled.

He looked at me and smiled and said ok.
I told him thanks and got out of the truck and walked inside my house.

"Who was that?" my dad asked

"Just a friend,"I said.
