Falling for You ✓ (girlxgirl)

If these girls kept talking, I was pretty sure I was going jump off the closest building.

"OH, EM GEE CRIS!" Danika squealed as some other girls from the cheer squad started to swarm us like bees just to listen to the "hot gossip". "You are like so lucky, like I wish I could have a boyfriend like yours." She cooed as I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.

"It's just dinner guys," I shrugged nonchalantly. "It's no big deal."

"You're kidding, right?!" Logan exclaimed in shock, which didn't surprise me at all, she'd always been melodramatic. "The Hudson is only the fanciest restaurant in the whole city, you'd be lucky to even get a reservation." I couldn't help it, but I sighed. I wished I hadn't said anything about the date in the first place.

Logan Murdock, the blonde bombshell that was our head cheerleader, was one of the most popular girls in school and one of my closest friends- even if she drove me crazy sometimes. Normally I didn't mind when she had her little followers around her, hanging off every word that escaped her gloss coated lips but in that moment I did. I really didn't want the whole of Westwood High to know my business with Wesley (my boyfriend) but I knew that by 5 pm that evening they would- that's how fast word travelled around here.

"He's probably been planning this date for months, he's so cute. You're really so lucky to have him." Sofia added with loved-up grin, and I forced a smile, I didn't have it in me to shatter her delusional idea of my relationship with Wesley. I couldn't tell them that this was the first date Wesley has taken me on in months and it was only because his parents had to attend a charity ball and had actually given us their reservation.

"Do you think he's going to give you a like a promise ring?" Amanda, a different cheerleader, gushed and before I could answer with a very hard and decisive "no", they took the idea and ran with it. Before I knew it they were discussing rings cuts, outfit ideas and picture opportunities.

"Wow, don't you guys have anything more creative to talk about other than someone else's love life?" Roxanne asked, just having come from the locker room, and when the girls silenced themselves, I could have kissed her. Roxanne Johnson was one of my only friends who didn't do cheerleading, she was on the dance team with our other friend Blanca and with smooth dark brown skin, long black braids, and big brown eyes she was always the girl on the dance team that people went to see.

"You bitches better move before I make y'all." Blanca, my firecracker, threatened dangerously as she stood next to Roxanne with her arms crossed and within five seconds it was just Logan and I sitting on the grass with Blanca and Roxanne standing over us.

"Wow, that was fast." Roxanne joked as they sat down with us, Blanca smirking.

"That must've been a new record." She laughed; her demeanor completely changed from the previous few seconds as she brushed invisible dust off her shoulders.

Blanca Diaz, the fiercest, scariest and one of my most loyal friends with light-brown skin, wavy dark brown hair, and fiery brown eyes. Her looks and her attitude made her the most intimidating girl in the school, but she always had a reason, often standing up for those who couldn't do it themselves. I've even seen her make a grown man cry (his name was Mr. Colson, and he was our tenth-grade physics teacher who refused to let kids go to the bathroom during his lesson until Blanca came along).

"That's such a weird thing to be proud of," Logan said as she rolled her light blue eyes and Blanca snorted.

"I actually like the fact that bitches are scared of me. They don't even approach Cesar anymore cause they know I can fight." Blanca grinned proudly.

"Maybe you should give me some pointers sometime and I'll stop losing my all boyfriends." Logan snorted before Roxanne cut in.

"That's because you keep going after these boring white dudes who don't appreciate you." She said in a "duh" tone and Logan laughed. We all knew that Roxanne was joking but there were some truths to her words, Logan did tend to go for guys who didn't appreciate her and who ended up cheating on her, but she blamed her bad boyfriend choices on her low self-esteem and her dad leaving- yeah, she could be a little dark sometimes.
