"You've got it bad

"You've got it bad." Brandon chuckles. "I have got what?" Ash asks confused. "You think she's beautiful and you're not willing to let her be alone. Ash, it's only you're third day here and you already crushing on someone. You move fast!" Brandon walks over to him. "But Anika won't change. You can keep trying but she will always remain a beautiful prickly cactus. But I see it too Ash. She is beautiful and distracting but, she's to much work. Go for someone who you know is into you, like.... Chloe!"

I roll my eyes, Ash doesn't have anything except the need for a girl on his arm just like Brandon. I should've known that was his intentions. I didn't peg him for the player type but, I should expect nothing less. He is probably used to charming girls with his kind smiles and dashing miscoloured eyes. He probably walks into a room and has every girl drooling from his tall frame and fit physique. I didn't think Chloe would be he type though. I mean yesterday he seemed to hate her but now he's letting Brandon guide him to his doom. But boys like him are nothing but good looks and stress. I hike my bag farther up my shoulders and go towards him. I walk onto the turf towards the enchanting boy.

He stands, surrounded by girls in short skirts and tight-fitting dresses. "She is an amazing dancer. I mean, in France I have seen quite a few professional dancers and ballets but I have never seen someone dance with the amount of passion and graces as her. I am surprised she is not on your squad. You lot could use someone with her capabilities.

"I'm sure she is." A girl sighs dreamily.

"Who is she?" Another asks.

"I bet she has training." A girl sneers.

"Is she trying out for cheer this year? Cause she should." A girl says.

I join the girls in the circle. "He is so perfect." A girl beside me sighs. "Sure is," I say sarcastically. "Aren't you the girl that was with him yesterday?" The girl looks at me. "Sadly, I was," I say. "Sadly! Are you blind?!" The girl cries drawing attention to us. All the girls turn to our direction. "No, I'm not blind," I say. "Well, you must have seen how great he is!" Ash turns to us as well. His face lights up with a smile. "Aw, there she is." Ash begins to make his way through the girls towards my direction. Girls around me begin to squeal. "He's coming this way!"

"Anika! I was just telling these girls what an amazing and beautiful dancer you are." He stands in front of me with a bright nearly blinding smile. "I'm sure you were." I roll my eyes. "Ha! You are quite the joker, Anika. They said that if you come to tryouts next week, they will consider putting you on the team." Ash says excitedly.

"Dude, I found Chloe. Oh, what's going on here?" Brandon nears the group with Chloe under his arm. "Oh, you found her." Ash rolls his eyes. "Well, I was just telling everyone how beautiful Anika is." Brandon walks towards Ash and I. "That's great. But I think this can wait until later." Brandon shoves Ash towards Chloe. "Chloe, I believe you're the captain of the cheer squad?" Ash's playful expression turns serious. Chloe nods. "That I am." She smiles slyly and places a hand on his chest. "Well, I need you to put Anika Rose on the sign-up list." Ash slides her hand off his chest. I watch with every other girl as her hands slide down his chest to his well-defined torso.
