Chapter 5: Pretty Boy

Hey guys,

Thanks to whitedandelions001, she did the actual book cover but here's one of her other suggestions.

Just to clear stuff up because I realised it might be confusing, LKHS (or LKH) stands for Luther King High School and AWHS (or AWH) stands for Atlanta Western High School, which is Emily's high school.

I hope you like this chapter because I had such a fun time writing it.

Please COMMENT once you've read it, 'cause I would honestly like to know who and how many of you are reading.

Sorry for this long note, see you for Friday's update.

"Hey! You there! Yeah you! That was my spot!" Jenny's mother screamed out of the window.

We were on the school's field that had been turned into a parking lot for the occasion. We've driven round at least three times and still haven't been able to park.

Our driver honked and drove past the guys who had stoolen our parking spot, her middle finger up. While Liv and I were nearly wetting ourselves, Jenny was looking down, making herself as small as possible, her face bright red.

We finally found a big enough space to park and met up with the others at the entrance. We made our way to the football pitch and walked up to our team's bench. Liv went up to Mr. Walter, the coach.

"Hi girls!" greeted a brown-haired boy.

"Hi Alex" I answered with a smile.

"So, ready for the big game?" asked Lexie.

"Sure am."

"We counting on you too" Cole winked.

Jenny and Zoe went all smile and butterfly eyes. I rolled my eyes and turned to Liv who had walked up to us while the coach had started talking to our time.

"Behind the benches there's the gym. That's were the lockers and changing rooms are."

We followed our captain off the field and towards the gym. Luckly it was already open. We found the visitors locker-room and dumped our bags before listening to Liv.

"The game will started in about half an hour and coach confirmed that we're performing first."

We all nodded.

"I suggest we grab what we need and start warming up on the field. The boys will probably be warming up too."

So that's what we did. With our pompoms and water bottles we headed back to the field.

>>>▪<<<

The sun had started to set and benches were now full. We were supposed to perform our routine in less then 10 minutes and I had been sent off the fill up some of the water bottles that were now empty. Well, that wasn't really right. I volunteered to go fill them up.

I rushed into the gym and stop. Which way was it? Right or left? I hesitated before taking left. I bet it was right, I thought.
I continued exploring, finding only one door unlocked that was a storage cupboard. I ran back to were I came from and took right.

Frames hang on the walls with pictures of the LKHS football team as well as numerous trophies. I was pretty sure we didn't pass this earlier. I opened and closed the doors, one after the other, hoping to find a sink. An office, our rival team's looker-room, an other storage cupboard... I was getting really frustrated and if I didn't find a sink now there was no way I would get back to the football pitch in time.

I opened a door, promising myself it was going to be the last, and... oh suprise! It was a bathroom. I rushed over to the sinks and filled the bottles.
Just as I was going to sprint back, I pumped into someone, falling flat on my bum.

"Falling for me already?" teased a familiar voice.

I looked up to find a blond guy dressed for the game standing over me, his arm stretched out to help me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, taking his hand, as I recognised the stranger from a couple of weeks ago.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that question?" he said pulling me up. "What are you doing at my school?"

"I'm cheering for my team. Why else would I be dressed like this?"

He looked down at my outfit, looking suprised.

"What?"

"Nothing. You just don't seem like the cheerleader type."

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked defensively.

"Well, if you are a cheerleader you better get going." he said, looking back at the clock above the door.

"If I'm late, it'll be your fault."

"Why?"

" 'Cause you bumped into me" I blamed.

"Technically, you bumped into me" he pointed out.

"Fine. You bumped into me, I bumped into you. We're square" I said exasperated.

I really am going to be late know.

"Square" he smiled.

I picked up the bottles and headed for the door.

"Hey!" he called. "What were you doing here though?" he asked, meaning the bathroom. "The visitors' lookers are on the other side."

"I got lost" I replied.

I heard him chuckle as I finally sprinted back to my team.

>>>▪<<<

"Sorry! I'm sorry!" I cried.

I threw the bottles and grabbed my pompoms.

"What took you so long?!"

"I'm sorry Liv. I got losed and..."

"Girls, they're waiting for you!" Mr. Walter said.

My body was filled with a nervous excitement making me want to jump up and down but hide away at the same time. The lights were blinding as I stepped onto the field with the girls, praying that none of us got injured.
