Hey guys! Please make sure to vote and comment, I really wanna know what you think of the book.

Taylor Willis

"Tay, we're starting in ten minutes." Olivia tells me.

I'm currently in the locker room, getting ready. We're starting selections for new cheerleaders today, and I'm the captain.

I'm really excited about this, cause a lot of last year's girls were seniors and have gone to college now, which means we're gonna select a lot of new comers.

When I'm ready, I take a deep breath and head to the gymnasium, where the selection's being held.

"Hey girls!" I say, as I take a seat next to Olivia, "Let's start!"

A brunette girl with bangs steps forward.

"Um...hi Taylor." She says, excited.

I smile at her, "Hey, what's your name?"

"I'm Cassidy."

"Okay, Cassidy. Go ahead-

"TAYLOR!"

I turn around and see the jerk standing there, looking at me furiously.

I look back at the girls and give them an apologetic smile.

"I'll be right back girls." I say, as I stand up to go and face the jerk.

"You little bitch." He says, pulling my hand abruptly.

"Stop! What do you want, asshole?"

"You went and told your mom that I harassed you? Are fucking out of your mind? I could get expelled for this!"

Say what?

"I-Mason...I never said anything like that to her." I say confused.

"Cut the bullshit, Willis!" He pulls my hand once again.

"I swear to God, I just told her that we had an argument and that's all."

"Willis, I'm really serious about my studies, I don't want you to come and ruin everything for me. if I ever hear my name on your fucking mouth, you don't know what I'll do to you." He says, his eyes full of hatred.

"Just so you know, you're kinda ruining everything for me too!" I say, as he was leaving.

"Oh, don't you worry, I'm not planning on stopping any time soon." He slams the gymnasium door.

Mom, what did you do!

I make sure I put a fake smile on my face as I head back to where Olivia and the girls are.

"What did that motherfucker want again?" Olivia asks me.

I sigh, "He thinks I told my mom that he harassed me."

She frowns, "Shit! That's terrible!"

"I know, I just told her that we had an argument. I guess she doesn't know what argument means." I roll my eyes.

"That doesn't mean he can come and talk to you like that! Don't think I forgot my promise from two days ago, I'll fuck up his pretty face if he says anything to you again."

Way to go, Olivia!

"Let's talk about this later, they're all looking at us, it's kinda creepy." I say, referring to the girls in front of us.

"Oh yeah, you're right." She giggles.

"Hey what's wrong with you and Jaden? You guys barely looked at each other today." Celia, my other close friend, asks me.
