Prologue

I was never really interested in cheerleading. My mom was, and I probably would never believe if you told me that cheerleaders are shallow. In reality people think what they think, but they don't necessarily look a little deeper into the whole cheerleader thing. That's what most normal people think about cheerleaders. They think cheerleader have beautiful lives of beauty and status while they bully unfashionable girls.

At least that's what I thought before my mom signed me up for cheerleading. My mom, Caroline Jasmine was what you could say 'Cheerleader Champion' added by the fact that my dad, Norman Maple was the 'Star Quarterback.' My mom tells me I was destined for greatness. Yeah, right. I thought she meant as being somebody not a shallow cheerleader. Of course I went with it thinking about what harm it could do. My brother, Max-who my mother never really messes with, is a super genius. He's pretty adorable if you ask me. He has dark blue slabs of hair, glasses, and a brain of logic. He's at least 13 years old and has like gone up two whole grades! Yep he's the precocious one in my family.

I was the one with straight As and a loudmouth for food. My actual name was Phoenix May Maple except most people call me, May. If you ask me I like the Phoenix better. I had light billowy chestnut brown hair which constantly stuck to pigtails. Although I think it's because my mom use to put my hair in pigtails, and it sort of stuck that way naturally. Of course I found it naturally interesting. I liked being different it just sort of stuck to me. I mean who wants to look the same?

I had a pretty average body for a 16 year old. I go to Galigan Stone District, and I have 3 friends- Dawn, Iris, and Misty. Guess what? They're cheerleaders! Yay, right? The good thing is they're not the movie kind of cheerleaders, they're Spirit Leaders.

Dawn Rose Lenoir was beyond your average cheerleader. She excelled in manipulation, killing somebody without weapons, costume making, math, and gymnastics. Not your everyday class subjects? Dawn had dark Caribbean waist length hair and dark aqua eyes. She had a fairly nice face complexion and an athletic body. Currently she was single but was looking for a guy different. Different then popular. She only joined cheerleading because our school didn't have a gymnastics team.

Misty Elizabeth Waterflower is almost not a cheerleader. She excelled in sneaking out, charisma, losing temper easily, athletics, and social studies. She joined cheerleading because it was a sister tradition. She has fiery orange shoulder length hair which she constantly keeps in a high ponytail and dark marine blue eyes. She has a nice tan skin and a very athletic body. Currently she has no interest in any guy yet, and has won several sporting awards.

Iris Albee Drayden is a pure cheerleader. She excelled in hacking, writing, peacemaking, being innocent, athletics, and language arts. She wanted to be a cheerleader ever since Pre-K. She has light lavender waist length hair and dark jade eyes. Iris is very athletic and was actually the first to be Cheerleading Captain. She is currently dating Brendan Hoen-Star Quarter back. Brendan Hoen- I personally don't like very much.

Those were all my friends and I was thankful since without them I wouldn't be me. Especially if I were to go on a journey to prove that I am the Phoenix. But how did I get stuck with the most popular guy in the school and his girlfriend?
