Chapter Five: Keep Your Friends Close And Your Enemies Closer (or Frenemies)
Tayla's POV:
I quickly hurried into class knowing I got in there just before the late bell rang. "Nice of you to join us, Ms. Woods." Mr. Harriet said, as I was the last person to get to class. It's not my fault my boyfriend and I wanted a little privacy before classes started up again. I took my seat beside the new girl. Her name was Autumn, and she was really pretty. But. I'm Queen Bee, so, she needs to be with my group, only the pretty people are part of my group.
I took out one of my stationary papers and wrote: Hey!! My name's Tayla Woods!!!!! Wanna be BFFS?? <3 I passed the note to her, hoping she'd say yes. I gave her a long sideglance and I saw her smile. I got the note back.
Sure. :) I'm Autumn by the way.
Yep. I already know that. I turned my attention back to Geometry. "You will have an assignment due by the 21st, which is two weeks from now. You will also be working with partners." Mr. Harriet looked around and thought better of it, "Actually, I'll pick your partners. Tayla with Autumn, Nick with Damian," He droned on and on and on but I tuned him out easily. I looked over to Autumn and noticed she was shocked.
"Hey!" I said tapping her shoulder. "We're paired together!" She turned and looked at me and I saw that her face was pale. "Hey, you alright?"
She seemed to have shook it off because she started smiling big, "I'm fine! Want to come over to my house tonight to work on it?"
"Okay!" I replied excitedly. "But I don't know where you live!"
"Did you bring a car?" I shook my head. No, Damian brought me to school I thought. She thought about this or a moment, "Okay then. You can come home with me, then I'll get Henry to drive you home!"
"Who's Henry?" I asked.
"Oh, he's my chauffeur." She replied. Chauffeur? Only rich people have chauffeurs... Does that mean she's rich? This is good! Then I won't be the only rich girl here!
"Come on!" I said, looping my arm with hers. "We'll be BFFs in no time!" Autumn simply looked at me and smiled. The bell rang and we both headed out of class.
Autumn/Keller's POV:
Thank god school was over, what made it even worse was that Tayla decided that we're going to be BFFs. She has cheer practice now, so I'll just pick her up once she texts me. All those preppy cheerleaders were all over me about Nick. As I walked to my car, someone yelled. "Autumn! Wait!" I looked back to see one of those cheerleaders, I think it was Maggie or Margaret or something like that. I stopped walking as she walked over to me in her cheer outfit.
"Yeah?" I said warily.
"I, I mean, the girls and I need your help." She said.
"For?" Oh god, don't ask what I think you're going to ask. Please, please, please.
"We need a flier for our team and we were wondering if you wanted to join because in gym today you were really good at gymnastics." Shit. She did ask. She looked at me expectantly.
"Um, uh" I started.
"You see," She butted in. "Fiona broke her leg so she can't cheer for the rest of the season, and you're the only one that has been approved."
"Only on one condition."

As I headed out of the girls' locker room in my skimpy little cheer leading outfit, I looked around and noticed the football guys checking out my butt. Yeah, I know I had an hourglass figure that most girls would kill for, I just didn't flaunt off skin to go with it--it was just unnecessary.
