This is a prequel to both stories in the cheerleader mask. It explains some things, and it also should make sense out of everything.

George was finally excited about someone, Misty just made him feel so relaxed, like she knows nothing about what's going on in the US, and is trying to learn. She was different than anyone else he had ever spoken to before; she was everything he could ask for. He couldn't believe that someone like her actually was human, she just seemed so magically intoxicating to him, and he just wanted to figure her out. Misty's deep auburn hair was the first thing that had him spell bound, he hadn't met a single girl that talked to him that wasn't blonde, and he also had never seen someone with deep red hair. Misty's creamy complexion and her pool of emerald are something mystifying, so Misty really was a good name for her.

If only he had met her sooner, because he only had guy friends right now, Tyler, another foreign exchange student, and Chris, someone who actually want that dramatic, but somehow was head of the drama club. He didn't mind that, but he saw Misty talking to Brenda and Hilary, those two girls often caused a lot of trouble, and he wondered if she knew that, even though Hilary often was seen trying in vain to back Brenda out of something. He didn't understand Brenda, she could be shy and sweet one moment, and very ferocious the next, which made no sense whatsoever, even if he tried he couldn't understand her, just like Misty.

Wow, he always seemed to get back to Misty, no matter who he thinks about, because it's just weird to him. Does he like her? But he only met Misty only a few minutes ago, and it felt like he barely knew her at all, even though he spoke with her for a good hour. He kept thinking if he should kiss her or wait to see what else she had for him. Misty was just someone he couldn't figure out, unlike most girls, who immediately want to kiss him. Misty was different to him, and he just wanted to know what made her tick.

What was up with the lockets, though? He didn't know why they had matching lockets; even the co-head cheerleader had one, along with Lindsey and Lilac. It was weird to him; he just couldn't understand why those lockets were such a big trend. Though not every girl was wearing them, Monica didn't wear one nor did Mary, even though she could be consider an 'Ice Princess' sometimes, along with Lilac. Misty just seemed to pull it off though. Why couldn't he stop thinking of her?

Misty, on the other hand, was trying to figure out what to sign up for. Cheerleading or dancing, those where her two favorite subjects while learning about the mortal realm. She was filled in her head about George, she couldn't understand why he liked her in some way. Her deep read hair obviously was different, but Misty loved being different, she liked it. She also loved the fact he liked her some way. She was just beinning her story, and she wondered what else the future could hold. She smiled as she signed up for both in her medium but equally loopy handwriting.

This could actually be fun, she thought, and she went to go pick up her class schedule, and bumped into an unfriendly face, Monica, who glared at her with a demon-like stare. Misty was unfazed, however, she had seen much worse stares than that, and she gave her a sweet, innocent smile. She knew she was Monica, she was dating Corbin, and she completly hated Misty already, so Misty, just to annoy her, said, "Oh, hello, um, Monique, right?" Monica looked shocked, no one had ever forgotten who she was before!

"No," she said in an evil voice, "it's Monica, like the girl on Friends." Misty remembered this and said, "Oh, that's right, Monica, and you're the head cheeleader right? Well, if you will move, you won't get hurt, because, I need my class schedule or risk being late." Everyone was eyeing this new girl in shock, no one had ever had the guts to talk to Monica like that! Monica was unfazed, and just sweetly said, "Oh, were you going to sic you pitiful little friends on me? That's hilarous, as a matter of fact, it was so funny, I forgot to laugh."

Misty knew sarcasm, she used it all the time, so she said in a sarcastic voice, "No, as a matter fact, I was going to send you to the principal's office," and she said in her normal voice, "You're pathatic. You use fear to instill yourself into a popular crowd, and fear of losing the spot on top. So, I'm going to knock you off that throne and take it myself, because I really can hurt you, you just don't know it yet." She walked around her, and said, "Oh, and, tootles!" She strut off like she won some sort of championship, and the entire hallway just looked at her.

She smiled like a diplomat, and Sally Williams walked up to her and said, "Move it, geek, I have bigger fish to fry!" Misty looked her straight in the eye, and Brenda did too, but Hilary wispered, "Why do we have to do this?" Misty ignored her and said, "Oh, hello, um, what was her name, Brenda?" Brenda said, "Um, I think it was Susan." Misty said, "No, I think it was Alison, right?" Sally glared at her, knowing that this was definatlly what she hadn't planned, and she heard someone say, "YES!" Sally just said in a frosty voice, "No, it's Sally, and you're, I think your name is Madelline, right? No, was it Mist?" Misty smiled and said, "Nice to to meet you Allison." She was unfazed at being called the wrong name.

"It was such a pleasure talking to you, we should do this more often. But, I have to go, so, tootles," she said, walking off, wiping off Sally's smirk. She knew she had won once again, and she sure was going to take everyone down!


A/N: Longer chapter, I know, most of it dedicated to showing how evil Misty can be, along with George's seceret crush!
