(Y/n) glances up through her thick eyelashes, making her look somewhat intimidating while she views the whiteboard to copy down work, this strains her eyes and the contacts thats lodged onto it. She could feel it slightly, causing her (eye colour) orbs to water as she gripped onto the pink pen tighter.

"Uhm, (y/n) (l/n) ." A deep raspy voice cuts in. (y/n) straightens her posture and glances up, uninterested. It was the teacher, his ams crossed.

"Yes?" She replies, the room felt small, knowing full well that the whole class was watching her. (Y/n) prevented herself from turning around, she didn't want to make eye contact with any of her classmates. She took the time to examine him, a stocky yet chubby man cladded in a white shirt, a maroon red vest topped with a red tie and grey dress pants. He was also balding, causing the bright fluorescent light to shine onto his egg-head. She certainly knew that his bald head was brighter than her future.

"You are not wearing the correct school skirt, could you please go to student services and obtain a dress pass..." He trailed off, crossing his arms.

Although (y/n) was bearing her navy blue and white cheer uniform.

"This is my cheer skirt sir, I'm wearing my cheer uniform today as I have practice after school." (y/n) says, she grew up quite shy until her mother taught her how to speak up, tall and proud.

A sigh escaped from his lips, "Just please go." He mutters before trailing to his desk. (y/n) furrows her eyebrows before walking out of class in slight frustration.

While she walks around the school's halls, her ears perk up to the sounds of a male booming with laughter from behind her, she glances behind her and sees her boyfriend, Rob with his mates. Instantly realising who the laugh came from, she frowned at the noise before glancing down. Shaking the memories off from last night at a party.

The two were quite drunk and the hazy thoughts almost brought them into bed together. . .That is until Rob attempting to 'head push' her, ruining the moment and making (y/n) fled the scene in tears. She pushes that memory away.

Upon arriving at student services she bumped into a familiar tall raven haired, she glances up in surprise, it was Judd Birch, Leah's brother, she rarely saw him around school as he's a senior while (Y/n) was in 10th grade. His green eyes harsh as he held eye contact with (y/n).

"Oh, sorry Judd. I didn't mean to--"(Y/n) pipes.

"Ugh, watch where you're going slut. " He says, cutting off her sentence then pushing past her.

(Y/n) blinks in confusion at his harsh comment. She shakes her head, Slut? What's that suppose to mean-- calm down (y/n) it's probably nothing. . .You know he's always mean like that. . . Or did Rob tell everyone about the incident last night? No, stop overthinking!

~~~ A few hours later ~~~

Beads of sweat drip down (Y/n)'s forehead as she pushes through the busy change room. Cladded in her bra and underwear, clutching onto her cheer uniform while the smell of feminine deodorant wafts through the air, causing her to scrunch  her nose up at the strong smell.

She stops at her bag and slips into a different change of clothes, a singlet and high waisted shorts along with the school's wind-cheater jacket. It was after school so (Y/n) wouldn't need to worry about violating the school's dress code. She then neatly folds all her clothes into her school bag, spraying a light spritz of deodorant and walking out of school then towards the car park in search of Leah.

The blonde wasn't difficult to find and (Y/n) immediantly jumps into her car.

"Hey (Y/n), you brought your science book right? It's study sesh and movie night tonight!~" Leah says in excitement. Friday nights were studying and movie nights, it was a tradition for the both of them ever since the start of high school.
