My Heart's Questions and Decisions

Chapter 8- Friend or Foe?

Katie's P.O.V.

My alarm so rudely interrupts my blissful sleep and I groan,but still roll over to find the snooze button. I end up falling off my bed onto the carpeted floor with a soft Thud. Its a good thing I convinced my parents in getting the carpet instead of hardwood. 

I go into the bathroom, taking a relaxing shower. When I get out I blow dry my hair to a golden perfection and add a thin layer of mascara. I quickly put on my ripped up neon purple skinny jeans and a black One Direction T-shirt. I grab my keys off the counter in a rush and head out to my lovely, er, crappy car hoping I'm not late. 

When I get to school I sigh in relief realizing I have 5 minutes to spare. Looking around to make sure no ones looking I do a small victory dance shaking my butt and waving my hands in the air. I hear a chuckle and turn around beginning to turn red. No one was supposed to see that. Fred is standing there looking amused and trying to hold back heavy laughter. 

"That was sure something." He says with teasing eyes. I stick my tongue out at him and start to walk away.  

"Hey!" He shouts, catching up with me."You were supposed to laugh." He says crossing his arms and giving me a glare that didn't quite touch his eyes. 

"Your such a dork!" I say grinning at him. We head inside towards my locker. I hate my locker. Its entirely dumb, and doesn't open when I want it too. It also has a tendency to not close well either, so I end up either late, or super late.  

I jiggle the lock trying to get it to work. I put the combination in over 10 times before Fred decides he needs to step in. He puts in my combintation and it opens with a "click" on the first try. I glare at him trying to look angry. 

"How'd you do that." I say crossing my arms. He just shrugs. 

"What? No thank you?" He says mocking a hurt look. 

Before I get the chance to answer him, Mimi Jones walks in. She's with her puppies again, shocker, and I pray silently that she will leave all the innocent bystanders alone today. To my surprise she walks over to me smiley a huge too bright smile. 

"Good morning Katie!" She practically squeaks out.  

"Um, hi Mimi." I say looking confused. I crinkle my eyebrows, When did Mimi Jones learn my name, and why is she talking to me now? 

"I was wondering if you'd ever considered cheer leading!" She says in a high pitched voice. She grins from ear to ear and I fight the urge to roll my eyes, could this girl get any more annoying? 

"No...., I'm.. too.. clumbsy." I get out in between laughter. This chick can't be for real. Why would I be a cheerleader? I trip over nothing! Mimi looses her smile some and crosses her arms. 

"Katie, I think you'd be a wonderful cheerleader!" She says stubbornly. This girls never going to give it a break is she? 

"Nah I don't think I would." I say through my teeth. She's making me mad. 

"But Katie!" She practically whines. "You'd be a good addition to the squad!" She jumps up and down like a three year old. How guys find her appeasing I'm not sure. I realize she's never going to let this go until I agree, and its not like I'd actually get picked, so its a win win situation! 

"Ok, I guess I could try out." I say looking away at Fred. His eyes are practically falling out of his face, and he is giving me a questioning look. 

"Yay!" She screeches out."Tryouts at 3:30 after school!" she says while walking away from me. Thank the lord, shes finally leaving me alone. 

"So your seriously going to do this?" Fred asks incredulously. He's still shell shocked at my agreeing.
