An Elemental Difference - AIR - Book 1 (Stefan Salvatore)

Chapter 15 - What do you call a cheerleader with pigtails?

MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL

Jeremy sketched the tree in front of him, he had found the dusty book thrown in the back of his closet last night and decided to give it a little fresh air. As soon as he'd opened it, he couldn't stop drawing.

He was so invested in sketching the huge oak tree in front him; he didn't see Vicki making her was towards him, "I rock," she declared, knocking him out of his sketching bubble. "I scored two tickets to the Posers, Saturday night. They're playing at the Rat." She waved the tickets in his face as she haphazardly sat next to him.

Jeremy only glanced up at her for a second before returning to his sketching, "You and Tyler have fun."

"Don't be like that," she nudged him scoffing. "Come on. I want you to go."

Jeremy closed his book in frustration, "It didn't seem like that last night." He stood up, grabbing his bag and putting his book in it. "I promised myself that I'd give you one last chance and when everyone was looking for you last night, Tyler couldn't be bothered; So, you decided to make out and go home with him. I'm done, Vick."

Before she could say anything else, he walked away, feeling lighter than he had in awhile.

"Mornin' mi amigos!" Aella loudly greeted her two best friends, holding hands with Stefan.

"Good morning, Elena. Good morning, Bonnie." Stefan greeted, not as brightly.

"I saw C arrive with you, where'd she go?" Bonnie questioned after they all exchanged good mornings.

"Something to do with the Ra Ra Sisterhood," Aella grumbled looking for her math book, did she leave it at Caroline's?

Stefan coughed out a chuckle, "The what?"

Elena smirked from Aella to Stefan, "Cheerleading. Caroline's the captain of the team, and Aella is the captain of the anti-cheerleading team."

"It doesn't help we were all cheerleaders before someone-" Bonnie mock glared at Elena. "-decided to quit.

Aella chuckled, smirking up at her boyfriend, "I'm no longer alone."

Stefan raised an eyebrow, that glimmer in her eye didn't spell good for anyone.

Bonnie scoffed, "The only reason Caroline allowed Elena to quit in such short notice was that she could keep you entertained while we practiced."

Stefan now understood the glimmer.

"Keep me entertained!" Aella gasped, hands on her heart, "I was simply promoting the cheerleading team."

"Ha!" Elena coughed out and looked directly at Stefan, happy to explain just how crazy her best friend could be. "Our cheerleading training session a few years ago," she pointed at Aella, "-decided to share some new jokes..." She turned to Bonnie, "What did she specifically say?"

"Why is a cheerleader like railway tracks?" Bonnie recited in a deadpan tone, "Cause she's been laid all over the country!"

Stefan looked down at Aella, who was trying not to laugh, and he could feel his own mouth trying to smile.

"Oh, and..." Elena smirked sarcastically. "What's the difference between a cheerleader and a hockey player...? A cheerleader handles more than one stick at a time!"

Aella snorted a little, and Stefan had to turn his head a little to release the tension building up in his cheeks as he tried not to laugh.

"Or... the football team's favorite one," Bonnie grimaced at the memory of when it happened. "What do you call a cheerleader with pigtails?"
