A&L: Trial and Error

"Ashlee!" I called after her.

They whipped around. "What." Kallie said.

"Sorry is you name Ashlee?" I said glaring at her, she said nothing just rolled her eyes. "That's what I thought."

"What do you want Ava." Ashlee sighed.

"Did you get anyone for the team yet?"

They looked at each other and started dying of laughter. "You wanna try out?" Ashlee said after she sobered up.

"No I have a friend." I said crossing my arms and rolling my eyes.

"Aren't all your friends boys?" Kallie replied.

"No, and what if that friend was a boy?" I said with a scoff.

"We don't take boys. Period." Ashlee says crossing her arms.

"Whatever. Just tell me if you accepted anyone. I'm going to be late for 4th period." I said tired of the bullshit leaving their mouths.

I swear, sometimes I wonder how two people can be so idiotic.

"No we didn't. Everyone who tried out is too fat or untalented." Kallie said inspecting her nails.

"Didn't know you tried out." I mumbled under my breath.

"What did you say." She snapped.

"Nothing. So can my friend try out?" I said with a sigh.

"Yeah whatever, we're desperate at this point. After school in the gym." Ashlee sighed.

I nodded and went to walk away when I heard Ashlee's voice again. "Aren't you going to thank us?"

"Nope." I turned around as I was walking and shot them a smile.

I sat down at the table, everyone was already sitting down eating. "Olivia, guess what."

"What." She said her face straight.

"I said 'guess what'." I replied.

"Okay well I'm not going to guess, so." She shrugged and continued eating.

"Okay fine. They didn't pick anyone for the team so you can still try out, if you want of course." I said pulling my phone from my bag.

Jacobs head snapped up. "What team?"

"Cheerleading." Liv mumbled.

"Do you still want to? You don't have to." I said sounding concerned.

She already has a lot of stress at home I don't want to put anymore on her.

"No, I wanna do it. It's just I hate having to wear a skirt it's the worst thing ever." She sighed and looked down at her salad.

"As I told you before, I'll figure something out." I sent her a comforting smile.

"Well what am I supposed to do?"

"The same thing you were going to do before." I said in a 'duh' tone.

I watched as Liv paced back and forth in front of me. We were in the change room, she was in her gym clothes.
