I arrived in Lima Ohio about a week ago and it was my first day at McKinley High. I heard that my mom was subbing there so I decided to save up as much money as I could and pay for my self. It took a while to get enough so I'm two months late but I don't really care. Anyway I was standing in front of the schools entrance wearing a black jacket with red shorts, a white t-shirt, and a hat. I knew that as soon as I walked through the door, people will start giving me labels. I shook my arms and legs to get the nerves out and pushed open the door, confidently walking through the halls.
Luckily I dress more as a sporty girl with my high top shoes and loose clothing, but I have to act like it too. That's why I'm going to join the thing I love most, basketball. But I have to wait till lunch so I can look at club sign up sheets. I saw a snobby looking cheerleader up ahead and she glanced at me scoffing. As I was walking by her she stuck out her foot making me trip, but I turned it into a somersault and did a low kick. As she fell over people began to laugh and I continued to walk.
When I was emptying things into my locker a football guy with a mohawk leaned against the lockers next to me.
" Hey baby, names Puck. You know, if you hook up with me you'll be at the top of the social ladder in no time." He flirted and it was obvious he was showing off his biceps. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
" In your dreams, I don't date guys who have egos bigger than their brains." ' Or guys in general but he doesn't have to know that. I closed my locker making sure it was locked and walked away. I always hated guys like him, actually I just don't like guys. I never have and never will date one. But I can't tell anyone I'm gay or I will be crushed in high school. I looked to my side to see Puck walking with me and I rolled my eyes.
" What do you want, Puck." I tried not to spit out his name in annoyance as he followed me to class.
" You're making a mistake. You can be popular in three steps. Step one, become my girlfriend, step two, have sex with me, step three, become a cheerleader. Do these things and people will treat you like a queen." I groaned and sat down in my geometry class, Puck coming as well.
" Are you deaf? Or do you just not know the meaning of no. I will never go out with you, Puck. If you can't get that through your thick skull, than maybe you should be put back a few years." I don't know if he said anything after that because I had tuned everyone out to listen to the teacher, knowing I was behind. I really have to keep my grades up or else I wont be able to join any clubs. And that means no basketball. Once class was over I made my way back to my locker. Only to stop around the corner when I hear people talking about me.
" I'm telling you, she just blew me off, actually she completely shut me down." I recognized Pucks voice but there was a second I hadn't heard before.
" Well I hope so, you don't just ask random girls to have sex with you to become popular!"
" Why? I do it all the time and they all came around at some point."
" I can't believe you, just leave. I'll wait for her at her locker and convince her to join the cheerios." When I saw Puck leave I made my way to see a honey blond cheerleader at my locker. When I began to switch my books out she started up a conversation.
" HI, I'm Quinn, captain of the cheerios. I couldn't help but notice your athletic build and good looks. If you try out I'll make sure you get on the team. " I took another look at her to see that she looked like the stereotype model student with a sassy attitude. So I took a different approach with her.
" Cheerios? Like, the cereal?....Oh! The cheer squad!" I felt really dumb for a moment. "Sorry, but I'm trying out for something else, I'm not exactly a cheerleader girl with those frilly skirts. More like a skate boards and basketball girl. Again I'm really sorry, but I don't think I'll be trying out any time soon. It was nice to meet you, Quinn" She looked at me as if I had three eyes but I just made my way to my next class as she stood there like a deer in headlights.
Another long hour of teachers speaking later I left to go to my history class. Since I didn't have to go to my locker I got there early. That's when I saw a dark haired Latino like girl coming over to me. And guess what, she is also a cheerleader. Once she got to my desk I immediately spoke.
" I'm not going to try out for the cheerios, please don't try to convince me too. " I looked at her with tired eyes, even though it wasn't even noon yet.
" Look, the name's Santana and if you don't join the cheerios your live will suck. And I mean slushy in the face everyday kind of thing. So you you don't suck it up and sign up then you better find some other way to become the cream of the crop." And with out letting me answer she left to her own seat with a flip of her hair. As soon as she sat down the teacher got here and began the lesson.
Lunch finally came around and I made my way to the front of the school, just needing some fresh air. That's when I saw a group of football players picking on a guy with stylish cloths. As I got closer I realized they were getting ready to through him in the dumpster. So when they picked him I took a picture and called them out.
" Hey! Unless you all want a free ticket to the principals office I suggest you set him down." I lifted my phone with the picture on the screen. They scoffed at me.
" This is stupid. Let's go." I suppose the 'leader' said. And they made their way back inside. I made my way to the kid in front of the dumpster and he look at me oddly.
" Why'd you help me?"
