Cheryl's POV

"So what's been going on?" I asked Josie.

It was Tuesday afternoon and I was walking with Josie and JB on the way to my 6th period. JB was talking to us about how Veronica pushed her earlier and then Josie explained that she could've been in a bad mood after vixens practice.

"Well all the cheerleaders have been stressed lately because we have a really big competition next week and some of them quit this morning. So Veronica is freaking out and she probably used some of that anger on you." Josie explained. "I'm so sorry she pushed you."

"It's fine. I'm just sorry you have to deal with her in practice all the time." JB laughed.

"I know right." Josie laughed.

"What are you guys going to do about the competition?"

"Oh, Veronica is going to have emergency tryouts on Friday to fill the spots and once we get through this competition Veronica will probably be her normal level of bitchiness."

"So until then, Cheryl and I are screwed?" JB asked.

"I'm afraid so." Josie said as we approached my classroom.

"We'll be okay, Josie." I smiled.

"Yeah." JB nodded.

"Okay, but if you guys change your minds about me keeping my mouth shut then just say the words." She reminded.

"We will. Now we got to go!" JB laughed.

"Right! See you later, Cheryl!"

I giggled as they ran off and then I entered my class and took my seat.

Toni;
Hey do you wanna hang out today?

Me;
Yeah of course! Should I meet you somewhere or are you going to pick me up?

Toni;
I'll pick you up since it's easier. See you in a few minutes.

I got up off my bed and left my room. As I walked down the stairs I heard my mom call.

"Cheryl?!"

"Yes?" I said as I went to the kitchen. I walked in and I saw my mother chatting with Veronica and Jason.

"There you are, sweetie. I've been wanting to talk to you about joining an extracurricular at school this year to add on to your college applications and Veronica was telling me that she needs some new cheerleaders." My mom beamed.

"You should totally join, Cheryl!" Veronica said excitedly. You've got to be kidding me.

"Oh. No thanks. I already have extracurriculars from the last 3 years of school and I wouldn't be good at cheerleading." I explained.

"You should have 1 more year of a club or something, Cheryl. It'll really help." Jason advised.

"Plus Veronica really needs the help and I think you'd be a wonderful cheerleader!" Mom added.

"Please, Cheryl?" Veronica pleaded.

"Okay. Fine." I agreed and everyone else cheered. I'm only doing this because I have to be nice to you.
