Popularity or Real Love

Jealousy During Tryouts

CHAPTER 2

After what Kim told me yesterday, I couldn't sleep and I didn't feel like handling the cheerleaders so I told Rich to take over and went home. Fuck! I forgot about Asher! I honestly don't care. I feel so freaking hurt because I realized Kim's right. On my way home, I thought about it but I don't want to change! I don't want to lose my popularity, beauty, and etc. Most of all, I don't wanna dissapoint my father because it took me so long to finally get his attention that I wasn't losing my opportunity. But.... at the same time....

Never mind. I needed to focus. Tomorrow there was cheerleading tryouts and I had to decide who was in the team. Plus, I got to make girls cry by saying bad things to them! I can't wait! Ugh, I am horrible. As soon as I arrived at the mansion where only the servants and I lived (because my parents were never home) I ran down to the kitchen. My best friend, Constantine, (my maid) usually cleans there. "CONSTANTINE!!" I yell and run down the stairs. I see her coming and I grin and run down to hug her. " Hello, Pumpkin", she said and gave me a peck in the cheek. The thing about Constantine is that she raised me since I was 4. She's basically my mom and I love her so much!!! Constantine is beautiful with jet-black curls (same as mine), green eyes, the most amazing smile, white, straight teeth, dimples, and she's tall and skinny. I look A LOT like Constantine. Sometimes I think she's my real mom. "How was your day", she asked. "Well, be honest. Am I beautiful on the outside and hideous in the inside", I asked her and turned so I could look her right in the eye. " Whoever told you that nonsense", she said. Before I could respond, she cut me off. " Never mind. Go off and shower, while I prepare dinner.", she said. I showered but I was so damn tired I fell asleep.

The next morning, I put on a light blue crop-top with a white skirt and blue high heels. I hurriedly kissed Constantine and ran out the door (I was 30 mins late and the cheerleading tryouts started in an hour) to where my chauffeur, Tom, was waiting. Before Tom could even park, I jumped out and ran inside the gym to where all the girls were waiting. "I'm here", I shouted and grabbed a clipboard. "Finally", Vanessa muttered and I glared at her. Just as I was about to sit down, a bunch of wanna-be's danced in. " It's actually very simple. We only need 1 girl who's beautiful, skinny, rich, popular, and easily thrown in the air. If you don't have these qualities, might as well get out now", I finished and Rich smirked. Marissa stood next to me, put her hand in her hip and said, " Alright, Losers, line up in the order we gave you." Chloe walked around and saw a chubby girl with pigtails with her shoelaces untied so, she stuck out her foot and BAM! the girl went down. All the cheerleaders burst out laughing and I saw that the only confidence that was left in the girls had just deflated. " Girl number 1 come to the front", Naveah yelled and a skinny, pale, green-eyed girl came forward with her head down. "You're out", I said, "cheerleaders NEVER put their heads down." And the same routine went on for hours until a gorgeous, blonde, blue-eyed, skinny, girl with an amazing smile came forward. To top that, her cheerleading was perfect! I could not let her in the team because she was better than me in so many ways! I'm not kidding when I say she's Wow! So I needed to break her heart. Just as she was starting to flip, I burst out laughing and walked so that I was right in front of her. She stopped and innocently said, "Did I do something wrong?" I looked her up and down and said, "Oh Honey, first of all, the word slut is written all over you, you're so flexible it looks like plastic, and you are not rich, popular, or pretty. You should've left earlier. You don't deserve us! Keep dreamin, darling." The truth is that I was extremely jealous of this girl.

In the end, we picked a cheery, blonde girl named Jessica Hout. And I found out that the girl I was jealous of's name was Jennifer Kres. The cheerleaders and I went to Starbucks and hung out awhile and then went back to school in time for 5th period. I was about to turn into the hall, when Kim pulled my arm and said, " I thought my replacement was going to be Jennifer, but I guess you were jealous of her, huh?" "Shut up", I replied and she laughed. I waved her off and left. So I was jealous, so what?
