Chapter 1: The Prank

"Yes! We're finally seniors, Ash!" said Madison, my best friend as we stepped out of my black Porsche Carrera convertible and onto the school grounds for our very last first day of school. "We're finally the top dogs of the school. We're gonna rule this year!" I just rolled my eyes at this comment.

"Maddie, we've ruled this school since we stepped foot on campus 3 years ago. The upperclassmen always looked up to us because you know; we're only the hottest bitches here. We got all the boys' attention and the girls' are constantly jealous of us. The only difference now is that this is our last here." I told her while walking to the lockers.

"Yeah I guess you're right. Hey, look there's your boyfriend." I turned around and was met face to face with my boyfriend, Aiden. He's the captain of the basketball team and secured a full ride scholarship to USC. We've been dating since the ending of freshman year and will probably go to college together as well.

"Hey babe!" He said as he gave me a tight hug and a soft kiss on my lips. I smiled and interlocked our hands. "Ready to get this year started?"

"Yeah, I guess so. The faster it starts, the faster it ends and then bam! No more King high and hello, USC!" I said. The bell rang and the three of us walked to first period which was English. Great…I'm going to start off the year snoring in class. Oh well.

We got to class and took our seats in the last row next to the window, Madison on my left and Aiden on my right. Our teacher, Mrs. Wright (Wow, how ironic…our English teacher's name is Wright…) told us to open our textbooks and read the passages and answer the questions at the end of each. The class was silent with the exception of pages being turned as the students were finishing each page. There was a soft knock on the door and everyone looked up as 2 students walked in. I recognized them immediately; it was my dorky twin sister, Kyla and her dork in crime best friend, Spencer. I didn't associate with them because let's face it; it'll ruin my reputation and popularity. Kyla and I have this mutual agreement, we don't talk at school but at home, we'll be the best of friends. I felt a nudge to my shoulder and looked at Maddie.

"Hey it looks the nerd herd are in our English class." Madison teased. I couldn't help but laugh, she never did get along with them. "Hopefully they sit in front of us so we can copy their answers on tests."

"Yeah! That's a great idea, Madison." Said Aiden. I swear, they're like tweedle dee and tweedle dumb but I love them, nonetheless.

Kyla and Spencer took the two remaining seats in class which happened to be the two closest seats near Mrs. Wright's desk. I bet they wanted those seats anyway. The rest of class was uneventful, along with the rest of my schedule. After school, Maddie and I headed to the girls' locker room to change into our cheer uniforms. Yes, we're both cheerleaders. Actually to clarify, I'm head cheerleader and Maddie's my second in command. We headed to the gym after we changed and found our squad already stretching and getting warmed up with the basic routines. I started practice with our homecoming routine and then ended it with some of the routines that we do at the football and basketball games. Towards the ending of practice Madison informed me that she had called for a meeting with only us and the senior cheerleaders and we'd be meeting at my house.

Maddie and I jumped into my car and headed home to straighten up my room before the other girls arrived.

"So what is this meeting for? You didn't explain it to me yet." I asked her as she picked up a few celebrity gossip magazines off of the floor.

"Oh, it's to plan our traditional senior prank. You know how the senior cheerleaders always huddle together and plan something outrageous and humiliating? Well, it's our turn to carry on tradition. So I figured we'd get a jump start on the planning so that we make it something epic!" she replied excitedly. I always thought this tradition was lame but who am I to disregard something that has been happening every year? Hell, even my mom did it as head cheerleader back in the day.

"Yeah I guess we need the extra time to plan, considering our group isn't the smartest bunch." I said. The doorbell rang and I ran down the stairs to meet the girls. When I opened the door, 3 girls stood waiting- Riley, Katherine, and Stacy. Riley is a tall and slender blonde haired girl that also played soccer for the girls' team at school. She was quiet most of the time but really opened up once you got to know her. Katherine is the gossip queen; I swear she lives for that stuff. She's really attractive with her petite frame and soft curled auburn hair; but her personality is a total turn off. Stacy is probably the closest one of the team to Maddie and I. We actually grew up together, being that our mothers were on their own cheer team, together back in the day and her father is the guitarist in my father's band, Purple Venom. She has dirty blonde hair that was cut right at shoulder length and she the same built as Riley…in fact they look like twins and they're also best friends. "Hey guys, come on in. Maddie's already upstairs waiting." I informed them as they each jogged up the stairs, towards my room.

"So now that we're all here, let's get started. As you all know, every year the senior cheerleaders pull off the most embarrassing prank- even beating the football team's prank. Well, girls, this is our turn to outshine all other pranks. Do you guys have any ideas?" Maddie said as the other girls gave her their undivided attention.

"Well, the basketball and football seniors decided on being different this year. They chose a topic this year which is movies. So they're choosing the most famous and most humiliating prank from a movie and remaking it for our school's lower class students. I say we participate in that as well because it actually sounds fun and a lot of pranks from movies are incredibly humiliating." Katherine suggested. That actually isn't that bad of an idea. We wouldn't have to plan too much so it wouldn't strain the girls' brains and Katherine was right, those pranks are the humiliating.

"That actually sounds like a really good idea, Kat!" I answered and everyone else agreed. "So what movie do you suggest we do?"

"Well, I was thinking of that movie- "She's All That" but instead of making the loser nerd prom queen, why don't we twist it up a bit…and do some catfishing with a fellow senior classmate." She said. Wow that really is a twist in our tradition considering we only do lower classmen but it will definitely be a hit.

"Hmm, is that what everyone else wants to do? We'll go by majority votes." I said. "All in favor of this prank and the change raise their hand." No one objected so I guess that is what we're doing. "Okay, now that is settled, how do you want to execute this plan?"

"Well, Stacy and I figured that we get one of the losers to fall in love with one of us using a fake profile on a website…and then just before the end the basketball rally we unfold everything to the public. That would be the ultimate humiliation one person could face, don't you think?" Katherine said.

"Wow, if that happened to me…I don't think I'd be able to show my face at school anymore. That's a good one, Kat!" Maddie said excitedly. I guess she wants this prank. "What would be even more humiliating is if you were to be the one that was doing the catfishing, Ash!" Woah. Wait, what? I thought one of those idiots was going to do this.

"Yeah! Since you're head cheerleader and one of the hottest and most popular girl at King High!" Katherine said as Riley and Stacy agreed. "We even got majority votes so you have to do it now!" Ugh, I hate her sometimes.

"Fine. Whatever, who's the victim this year?" I asked.

"How about your sister? She's a loser with no hope of becoming popular." Katherine said. I literally wanted to punch her after she said that about Ky.

"Yeah right. She's off limits guys."

"Fine, her sidekick then. It's one or the other since they're both the biggest losers in school." Ugh, why does it have to be Spencer. She's my sister's best friend and Kyla, would kill me if I did that to her. Ugh, fuck my life. What do I do?
