Don't mistake her for an average High School girl because she may not know it herself, but she's got the looks, she's got the skills and she's got her squad. That's all she really needs.

"Louise Gar, Jason Lawson, Rebecaa Fyel, Kingsley Jordan, Grey Heid, Natalie Thompson, Donny Todd, Tucker Reins, Tyler Reins and Harris Jackson all make your way to the stage please.
The crowd cheer in support and if I were them - I'd be up on Jase's neck and yell my head off too. I can't believe we did it. We worked so hard it actually paid off and I couldn't be more proud.

" This is going to be the best summer yet." Jason whispers down my ear - sending a frenzy down my spine.
"Don't jinx it. " I retort, smiling.
