Hey people of the internet! It's Crazy Carter here with her first story on ! *squeals and does a little happy dance* Ok, I know it's not perfect, but I like it. Ok, not really. I Just needed to post something on fanfiction! My mind was simply exploding with bad ideas, and thus, my fanfiction account and this story was born. Of course, now I actually enjoy writing these lil' things. Well ok, enough babbling, here's the story!

*Disclaimer*- Unfortunately for me, I do not own the Troop. *sad face* If I did, Hayley and Jake would already be a couple. Lets face it, I love them.

Hayley's POV:

"I told you! The blaster would make a complete mess! Now we have clean up to do too! You know I have cheerleading today Jake!" I yelled at my friend. He just didn't get my situation. I am so close to getting kicked off the team.

"Well I'm sorry then. But I did destroy the Repticore practically by myself! I was awesome, and besides, what's the big deal about cheerleading anyways?" He asked.

"You don't understand! I am this close to being kicked off the team because I'm always late, and I miss practices!" I shouted.

"What? Little miss overachiever here just can't bear to be kicked out of one of her hundreds of activities?" He said sarcasticly. I glared at him angrily. "Hayley, you can't kep getting distracted with all this stuff! Monster hunting takes focus." He said.

I glared at him, and them walked away to change. My clothes were currently covered in monster guts. I hated to say it, but he had a point. I really hated to admit this, but he was often right. He was a smart guy, But he didn't exactly use his smarts when fighting monsters. He used his "instinct", which I was sure was going to get him killed one day. I just hope it doesn't. I would never admit this out loud, but I think I'm getting a crush on him. I mean, sure he's annoying, big-headed, sometimes rude… did I mention annoying? Sorry, I'm off track. But he can be sweet, protective, and I don't like to admit it, but he's cute. I also don't like to admit this, but without him, I would either be in the hospital, or dead. He's saved me more times than I can count. I never thought, in a million years, that I would ever get a crush on Jake. But the more I spent time with him, the more I liked him.

*Ok, snap out of this Hayley. He's your friend, He will always be your friend. Just your friend.* I thought to myself. Then I sighed. *But he's so sweet, and who are you kidding? You're in love with Jake Collins…*

I sighed again. Maybe it was just in my head.

an hour later, I had changed out of my ruined clothing and cleaned the monster cages. Jake, Felix, and I were sitting in Troop's HQ, just sitting there, talking. I had already missed cheerleading, go figure, so I didn't have to rush off anywhere. Minutes later, Mr. Stockley walked in to check troopgrid. "No monster activity in the area. Wonderful. Hayley, did you clean out the cages?" he asked me.

"Yeah, just finished about ten minutes ago." I said.

"Great, well why don't you kids head home. I'll call on your watchcoms if theres any trouble." He said to us.

"Awesome, see you later guys." I said as I rushed to get my stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love monster hunting, and I love spending time with Felix and Jake, but I sometimes it all just gets on my nerves, I at least a few hours away from it all. I grabbed my stuff and exited the school. I starred at the dark sky as I walked, Hoping It didn't start pouring until I was home.

Hours later, I was sitting in my room, listening to the pounding of rain outside my window, this was one heck of a storm. I lay in bed, thinking about Jake. I remembered the last conversation we had. Well, more of a shouting match actually. The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't believe how selfish I sounded. I was yelling at him because him destroying the monster meant that I had to spend time cleaning up. I couldn't believe it. He was right. Again. The last thing I remember was laying on my side, staring out my window, wishing the storm would quiet down so I could sleep.

Sorry, it's pretty short... and pretty bad... But hey, It's the first chapter of my first story. And I'm proud of it! Yeahhhh, not really... I know it's bad, but please review :)
