"Oh-Kay! Westmore bobcats" Nakirah calls out *clap stomp clap clap*

All of us together "Westmore bobcats!" *stomp right clap stomp left clap stomp right clap* repeats.

I hit a round off then backflip into a split.

"Good and clean,
good job Story." My cheer coach calls.

It's my turn to lead the next cheer.

"IF. You. don't .know. bobcats got a flow and it goes like this." I hit a high toe touch and then faced my team.

"W. I N. N.ER.S!" I chant while stepping and clapping they all repeated me and copied me with hit one last toe touch in sync.

"Alright! Today was amazing and Atelia Story I can't get over that magnificent, Roundoff, my fro is still on fire." Coach says fanning her fro Me and Nakirah laughed.

"Nakirah  the way you took the lead today would you like the be the permanent co-captain for this year and next year." We both looked at Venessa smacking her teeth.

Nakirah  pulled me to the side "So she doesn't want me to the main captain for sure."

"But this will be good for college I don't know why she doesn't I mean you got everything to the T except for you being new." I said rubbing her back. She nodded then we walked back to Coach.

"Right okay. I would love to be a captain!" She said basically squealing. I was so happy for her.

"Fantastic okay hit the showers then go to class. "

" You saw how Venessa was starting?" Nakirah said fake laughing. We stuffed our lockers and closed them in sync.

"Forget her." I rolled my eyes.

"Your right, but what's this all about," she said laughing. She showed me her phone a message I sent her.

"Oh." I said laughing too."I was for real I woke and felt like a damn Toaster Strudel!"

"You're so random."

"But it's facts."

"Can I use your cran body wash?" She said reopening her locker looking through her stuff annoyed. Nae was pretty forgetful most days. But only when something bad was happening.

"Yeah, you can keep it I got another shipment coming tomorrow."

"You rock."

After we finished our shower we went to our lockers.

I opened my locker jumping hella hard as envelopes fell out right in front of me.

"What the heck?!" Nakirah said helping me pick them up.

"I don't know," I said stuffing the envelopes in my bag.

"How about we leave school early and we can...we can read them together?" She was just as shocked and curious as me.

"Sure let's just get the day over with. I can wait until till after school."

"Alright."

"What's this?" Vanessa said pulling at my bag I pulled back harder making her fall.

"Suck a nipple and mind your business!" I said rolling my eyes. Me and Nakirah flicked her off and walked off we could hear  her cussing us out in the distance but maybe next time she'll mind her business.

"Can we talk." Ryan said shutting my locker.

"I mean Iv been talking since I was 11 months so..." I said trying not to laugh.

"I'm sorry about everything I really am I miss you and so does my brothers. Would you like to come over for dinner?" I kinda did miss diners at her place but was still butt hurt from what she said even though I forgave her and Joyce.

"No, I'm busy," I said walking away.

"You ready?"Nakirah said pointing to my bag.

"Yeah ,come on." I said opening the car door fixing my mirror and buckling up my seat belt.

"I think you should invite Ryan?" Of course matchmaker Nae to the rescue. I might as well since Ryans staring around  like a lost puppy.

"Ryan you coming?!" I said peaking it my window. She practically ran to my car.

She ran, to the car jumping into the backseat. I let out of breath then backed out the school drive way. I didn't talk much on the drive just Nae and Ryan. As I finally pulled up into the drive way I saw Sarah.

"Oh Atlia so good to see you." She said walking up to me. I looked around to see if someone was behind me because I don't know Atlia.

"Atlia.." She said looking confused with her arms out.

"One. I don't like you enough to hug you. And two my name is Atelia not atlia got it? Say it right or don't say it at all."

I pushed passed her and walked up the stairs with Ryan and Nakirah following me.

"Well what do you think is inside?"

Nakirah asked. On the drive here she told Ryan about the evolpes. I looked on my desk seeing the same bear and a red light.

"Fuck." I whispered walking up to the bear I knew for a fact if she's watching me the bear isn't the only camera she probably has mics but I don't have time to look.

"Whats wrong." Ryan asked.

"Just follow me." I grabbed my bag and went to my dads old office. "My intuition never lies to me inside was an bookshelf. It looked off so I pulled about three books until I heard a click.   "Yes!" It led a long hall going to another room.

I wasn't prepared for what I saw.
