CHAPTER 1
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Regional cheerleading competition at Paramounts Great America." a main judge said. The crowd started yelling.
"This is so cool." Monique said to Kim as they cheered. "Thanks for bringing me."
"No problem." Kim said. Just then, Ron walked up to them.
"This place is lame." Ron said as he sat down next to Kim and frowned.
"Why? No Bueno Nacho?" Monique guessed as she looked at him.
"Yes! What kind of theme park has a McDonalds, Burger King, Carls Jr, but no Bueno Nacho?!" Ron yelled, throwing his hands up in the air. Kim just smiled and tried really hard not to laugh. Ron turned to her and glared. "This is not funny!" he said looking at her and Monique who were both cracking up.
"Sorry Ron, but it is." Kim said putting a hand on his arm.
"Why do you laugh at my pain?" he said. She gave him a sorry look.
"Sorry Ron. I promise I won't laugh anymore." Kim said totally serious. He turned to her and caught her gaze. She held it.
"So when do you go on?" Monique said changing the subject.
"After lunch. We're the first ones in our category." Kim explained, looking away from Ron, blushing.
"Well, then you have about an hour and a half to have fun in the park. So let's go have fun!" Monique said smiling. Kim and Ron agreed and they all walked out of the event area.
"So, where to first?" Monique asked once they were outside. Kim was looking at a park map and Ron was looking around for a place to eat.
"How 'bout the new Survivor ride? I heard it's really fun." Kim said looking up from the map. Monique was looking at her and thinking.
"That sounds like fun. What do you think Ron?" Monique looked around. "Where did he go now?" she said crossing her arms. Kim started looking around too.
"I don't know. Ron!!" Kim yelled at the top of her lungs. Monique looked at her and smirked. Kim was looking around frantically. "What are you smirking at?" Kim asked her.
"Nothing.. I'm just surprised at how much you care about Ron." she said crossing her arms.
"Of course I care. He's been my best friend since pre-k." Kim said defending herself.
"Uh huh. Good luck with that." Monique said. Kim just looked back at the map. Monique just kept on looking at her. Finally Kim looked up.
"Yes." she said.
"What, I didn't do anything." Monique said, trying to look innocent. Kim raised her eyebrows. "Okay fine. I just think that it's cute how you like Ron, that's all." she said.
"I do not like.." Kim was stopped mid-sentence by Monique raising her eyebrows. "Is it that obvious?" she asked as she sat down on a bench. Monique smiled and walked over to her. She sat down next to Kim, and turned so that she was facing her.
"Kinda. Kim, why won't you talk to him? You like him, he obviously likes you. You guys would look so cute together." Monique said putting her hand on Kim's forearm.
"I can't. What if you're wrong? What if I tell him and he doesn't feel the same way? Think about what that could do to our friendship." Kim said. Right as Monique was about to say something, Ron walked up with a plastic bag. "Where have you been?" Kim asked, trying to sound normal. Ron held up the plastic bag in triumph.
"I found a Bueno Nacho!" he said happily.
"And where did you find one?" Kim asked.
"There is one across the street." Ron said smiling as he took a bit of his naco.
