Love & Ride

Chapter 6

We just finished practising our choreography for tomorrow. Courtney kept us an hour longer than usual to make sure that we're more than ready to win the cheering competition held before the game.

We're walking in the hallways, too exhausted to even change, when some boys from the football team come to us.

- "Party tomorrow girls! Celebration and Halloween if we win, just Halloween if we lose, which is not going to happen" A guy named Milo says.

- "You better win, we girls know that we will!" Courtney says.

- "You're too hot to lose Courtney." He says while looking at her from head to toe, and his friends laugh.

- "Anyway, we added a little rule to this year's party, all the girls have to come dressed as devils, and the hottest devil wins!" another boy says.

- "Wins what?" Cooper asks.

- "A night with all of us!" He says and his teammates applaud him.

- "You're disgusting!" Marla sighs.

- "Alright, alright, she just gets the title, but if she wants the other option, she can have it as well." They laugh again.

- "All of you can!" Milo clarifies.

- "We're leaving." Courtney says and we follow her out. I shake my head as I walk, boys...

We went to Cooper's to get ready for the game. We're in uniforms trying to decide which ribbons to use for our hair.

- "Garnet or white?" Cooper asks while showing Isobel the two ribbons.

- "Definitely garnet." She answers.

- "Great, help me with my half ponytail Skyla"

I stand up behind her and fix her hair.

- "You're sure you don't want me to do anything to your hair?" She asks me.

- "No thanks I prefer it like this." I straightened my hair after my shower earlier and I just want to leave it loose.

- "It looks good on you." Isobel says.

- "Thank you Izzy." I tell her right when the doorbell rings.

- "Must be my costume, I'll be right back." She says and goes to answer the door.

- "So, who are you going to the party with?" Cooper asks me.

- "With you and Isobel, that's what we agreed on."

- "Yes but we're cheerleaders, we should be escorted."

- "Bullshit! If we want to have fun, then we have to go with friends, boys are complicated."

- "Yes, but, Mark kind of asked me to go with him..."

- "Seriously? Wow! Why didn't you tell us?"

- "It just happened! Right after school, we kinda have French class together." She explains.

- "Do you want to go with him?"

- "Yeah, He's kind and fun."

- "And hot!"

- "Yeah totally." She says and we laugh.

- "Go with him, Isobel and I will look after you."

- "I'm so sorry girls I have to go." Isobel barges in the room and starts assembling her stuff.
