Chapter 4

Adrian's POV

In study-hall, instead of making myself useful and doing my school work, I decided to look up plane tickets to Kyoto on my laptop. I wanted to see if my budget would fit the prices of the tickets. Sasha has wanted to go to Kyoto since the summer between 7th and 8th grade. She wanted to go because i had been in Japan and Korea is right next to japan, as well as all the buddhist temples. She is really into buddhism, it has always had a take to her mind. When i found the cost for a ticket I had to think about how long it would take me to make 890$! That would seem cheap to most. But for a 17 year old who works half time for minimum wage that's quite expensive. I was taken by surprise when someone tapped on my shoulder, When I turned to see who it was Lizzie was standing there with a smirk on her face. "What are you looking at baby brother?" She asked. I simply said, "Nothing" while closing my laptop as quickly as possible. She just smirked and shook her head, "Trying to plan a trip for your little girlfriend I see." "Wha-what? noo, noo.." "If it helps I can help pitch it since I get paid more than you." I pondered this; would she tell Sasha about it and ruin the surprise? "Hey, Sasha is not my girlfriend," I claried, "and ok, fine. I was trying to find two cheap-plane-tickets to Kyoto since sasha has always wanted to go there. But it's 890$ per person, each trip." "Geeze little bro, you have got a lot of saving to do. Even if I give a portion of my paycheck to you every week and you save your own paycheck, we wouldn't be able to make close to enough for one flight. But maybe we can set up a GoFundMe account, that might help." Lizzy has an intelligent mind. Now i'm relieved for her to have caught me. But Sasha can never know about this. If she did my whole plan on asking her out would be ruined. "Lizzie please don't tell anyone else about this," I beg. "I won't geez, I promise!" She says sticking her tongue out.

Alex POV

I was minding my own business walking to the science room -to turn in the crap I'd borrowed for the year- when Lizzie ran right into me, knocking the both of us on the ground as well as my books, scattering them all over the hall. ¨Are you ok?¨ I ask her breathlessly, standing to my feet and lending her a hand. ¨Y-yeah," she grunts, rubbing her shoulder, "I want to ask for your help with something.¨ Lizzie said kind of frantic but not panicked. ¨What do you need help with?¨ I ask as she takes my hand to stand, I retrieve my books. ¨I need help getting Adrain to ask your sister out!¨ I recoil slightly, ¨Wait, what?!¨ I looked at her with squinted eyes. ¨Come on, don't be so dumb!¨ ¨I'm not dumb, I'm just surprised that you're wanting them to be a thing.¨ ¨Well of course I want them to be a fucking thing! ¨She scoffed. ¨Ok, ok! Just keep your voice down!¨ She smiled mischievously and said, "follow me. She led me to the soccer field where I saw Sasha team practicing the cheer for the game tonight. I remember when she told our mom that she got on the cheerleading squad, she was so happy because she'd always wanted Sasha to be a cheerleader. They all took a break and Sasha started toward us.

Sasha POV

My group and I were practicing our cheer for tonight. My coach was getting more and more strict, she was hungry to perfecting it. It didn't help that I was cheer captain, the attention was all on me, as well If anything gets messed up: it's on me. ¨Girls we need this to be perfect," coach hollard, "Sasha you are doing fine, but straighten your back when you are lifted up!" She said as I was lifted. It was getting on my nerves how perfect She wanted it to be, this is only our last game before school is out. Coach blew her whistle, ¨All right ladies, you have a 30 minute break! Freshen up, we will be practicing for another hour!" Everyone groaned. ¨Ugh she is so fucking obsessed with perfection!" I snarled before I saw Alex and Lizzie looking at me, so I made my way toward them. When I got a little bit closer I saw that they were having a conversation, ¨Hey guys.¨ When I spoke they flinched and Alex turned around slowly to face me. ¨H-hey, Sasha.¨ Lizzie said awkwardly. ¨What are you guys doing? Shouldn't you be at lunch?¨ ¨Yeah, but they let as walk around.¨ Alex said, not sounding too confident. There was a awkward silence. Lizzie broke it saying, ¨We are also here to see you guys practice.¨ ¨Well, all you guys are going to see is our coach yelling at us to fix something! I swear she wants everything to be perfect for tonight because it is our last and she wants this season to go out with a bang.¨ ¨At least you aren't listening to your younger brother yap about how strict his soccer coach is getting about this game!¨ Lizzie whined. That's how the whole conversation started.
