I decided to start over on this one. And 'cause I feel stupid for forgetting the other one. It's the same except it takes place during season six, kind of. Go with the flow.

RING
The final bell of the day had rung, I slowly walked out while the rest of the class happily ran out as fast as they could. I would've too, it being Friday, but I was stuck with Spirit Squad practice for the rest of the day.
I felt an arm go around my waist, I grinned as my boyfriend, Jake, kissed my cheek and smothered me in kisses.
"Hey." He greeted and kissed me again before I could say anything.
"Heyyy."I replied as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"I wonder what's on the menu tonight, cheer practice?" He asked me.
"Spirit Squad," I corrected, "I think captain-ship is getting to Darcy's head."
"I thought maybe we could chill at my house tonight." He lifted my chin up with his hand and gave me puppy dog eyes. Unbearable to resist if that look didn't so much as remind me of Craig Manning. I shrugged the thought of him away, we finally broke up, for the best. I shouldn't even think of him after Jake.
"I could blow it off..."I started, but I started thinking about it. The team could use a bit more practice and Darcy might find some other way to kick Mia off the team. "I'm sorry, I'm practically co-captain, I have to be there."
I gave him my own puppy dog eyes. I didn't really want to go but it's my responsibility to be there every practice.
"I'll see you Saturday at your," I joked in his words, "'massive, blow-out' party."
"Haha." He joked sarcastically. He gently stepped closer to me making me back up against the lockers, "To be honest, I only wanted us to get a little closer tonight." What? I pushed him back as his lips almost touched my neck. He gave me a questioning look.
"If you think what I think you're thinking than your wrong." I said. I grew standards after being called a slut so many times.
"Manny, I was only being honest." He said with a blank expression. Wow.
"Jake, I don't want to have sex with you. It's too early, I have my standards." I told him. We've only been going out for a three weeks.
"I wouldn't have thought girls like you had standards." He said bluntly. I suddenly felt my stomach drop.
"Excuse me?" I folded my arms and looking him straight in the eye.
"Manny, shit I'm sorry." He started apologizing, too late. I turned to walk away, I was going to be late for practice.
"Manny, I didn't mean it!" He exclaimed.
"Sorry, I'm trying not to be around guys like you."
I turned the hallway corner blocking all his existence away. Part of myself felt like crying, I justed wasted three weeks of my life with a jackass I thought liked me for me, not just my body. I decided I shouldn't cry over a stupid guy, I put on my stronger side of myself and headed for another disaster practice. This was going to be a long day.
