On the Ice (Rewriting)

Part 10

After a very long few days of staying home from school I was finally back. Just dandy.

I haven't even arrived at the building yet and I already want to leave, that's how you know that you probably shouldn't go. You know that bad feeling in your gut that you get when something not good is going to happen, well, that's what I have now.

Pushing the covers off of me and then sitting up, I rub the gunk out of my eyes and get out if my bed, after some struggling of course but I managed.

I trudge into my closet and kind of just reaching for whatever, and find that what I did each for was decent and put it on. I had picked out a baby blue sweater with a pair of black leggins and in all honestly I was pretty proud of my still half asleep self for pckng something out that didn't make me look like a homeless person.

After that, I go into my bathroom and brush my teeth, then clean my face, and then put my hair up in a messy bun. Just because I want my outfit to look good does not mean I have to have my hair look good as well, but I'm sure that I'll get some comments from Lilly and her cheerleading friends of course. Other than that though, I've already meet some of the people I have to spend my years of high school with and I don't think there is much of an impression that I have to give since I had already made such an impact on my reputation on my first day.

I finish in the bathroom after giving me everyday 'you're amazing.' Speech, then quickly put my shoes on and head out the door.

At school I spot Lilly, the girl from the gym, with the other cheerleaders giggling at some cute guy that was talking to them. He seems popular too, with his bright red hair and dimples, I'm sure he was a lady's man, and for that reason I wanted to stay away.

I had other reasons to stay away. Back home I wasn't popular. Actually, I was bullied by the popular kids. They were always calling me names, hitting me, doing stupid pranks. I'm sure that those people are no different. Maybe I could just-

" Kenna! Over here! Cone meet my friends!" I hear Lilly holler at me. I turn around to see that everyone was now looking at me, and at that moment I just wanted fo crawl into the bushes and hide, but of course I couldn't do that in real life, so all I could do was walk towards the cheerleaders.

The red headed guy had left leaving all the cheerleaders and everyone else attention on me. I was kind of surprised by the cheerleaders appearance though, if they all didn't have their uniforms on I wouldn't even of known that they were. They didn't look like the stereotypical cheerleaders like at my school, and what you read in books and watch in movies. One of them actually had rainbow colors hair and a whole tattoo sleeve. For some reason this made me feel more comfortable being around them. Is that bad?

Lilly skips over to me with a big bright smile showing and then engulfs me in a big hug, " Hows your nose? I'm so sorry that happened to you, Jayce can sometimes get a little carried away. " she says slinging an arm over my shoulder.

" I could tell." I say sarcastically. Lilly chuckles before turning to her friends, " Guys this is my new friend Kenna. She's the girl that joined the guys hockey team!" She says and all the girls start jumping up and down while squealing as if I was some celeb.

" That's you?" A girl with blonde hair in a braid asks.

" I'm yeah.." I say.

" You're so lucky! You get to hang with the hottest guys in school every week!" Another cheerleader says.

" Yeah if I wasn't doing cheerleading I would totally sign up!"
