CHAPTER 2
A/N So I'm taking a bit of creative licensing with this chapter. In this story, Cadence can sense emotions and power. There's a slight, slight, blink-and-you'll-miss-it crossover with Teen Wolf (Allison Reyes, people. Allison Argent and Erica Reyes-played by our very own Gage Golightly- have to be the hottest fanon ship since ever.) anyway, I only own Allison Reyes and the ABQ troop from chapter one. Please review!
Cadence was in mid conversation when senses her before she sees her. She would swear that an aura of power rippled through the crowd when the doors opened. The halfling turned and inhaled deeply, seeing the Lakewood students part when Allison walked in. Even though is was fall in freaking Canada and there was already snow on the ground, the teen wore nothing but a tight, black t-shirt that showed off her muscles and a pair of jeans. Cadence was half monster and even she was wearing a jacket. Cadence heard a gasp next to her, and turned to face her friend. Hayley stared at the brunette, jaw open and eyes wide. Cadence nearly choked on her saliva when she felt the emotions rolling off the blonde.
Pure freaking hunger.
Allison got closer, smirking when she saw them. More accurately, when she saw Hayley. She shot the blonde a wink over her black Ray Bans, and smiled cockily at her blush. Jesus, Cadence thought, even her teeth were perfect. But if the emotions Cadence felt from Hayley were strong when she walked in, Cadence was almost bowled over by the wave that hit her when Allison smiled.
Damn bitch, calm yourself.
Hayley didn't notice Cadence's death glare, or the whispers in the hallway, or how freaking cold she was because Roxanne insisted that they wear their cheer uniforms to school. All she noticed was green eyes and white teeth that were perfectly imperfect and Jesus was that a tattoo peeking out from under her shirtsleeve? All the blood rushed to Hayley's face as she faintly registered Cadence coughing like she was choking. Allison Reyes turned the corner out of sight, and slowly everything trickled back to reality. Jake stood next to a spluttering and red-faced Cadence, who looked at Hayley with wide eyes and a WTF facial expression.
"You. Me. Girl Talk. Now." Cadence choked out. Hayley paled. Cadence avoided girl talk at all costs, so whenever Cadence dragged them to the alleyway the school, she knew something was going on. Jake just stood there, confused. He walked up to his girlfriend to find her staring at Hayley in shock. Hayley was staring at the new girl intensely, and she was staring right back as she walked by. He shrugged and went to his art class. Girls were weird.
Rey tapped her fingers impatiently as she waited for the class to start. She shifted and scowled, adjusting her grey slouch beanie. Her eyes darted around the room, taking in the students ambling to their seats and the absent teacher. It was official, Lakewood would be the death of her. Rey was hyperactive, impatient, and used to the hustle and bustle of a sprawling city. Compared to Albuquerque, this place was dead. Even the teacher, who strolled into the classroom five minutes late, was slow. She hardly noticed her leg was bouncing until the student next to her pointed it out.
"Take it easy, Crash. You'll break something." He said jokingly. Rey smirked, looking over the teen.
"I prefer Rey. And you must be Jake Collins. You've got an impressive résumé." She said, sticking her hand out. He blinked in shock, but shook it. "You're girlfriend isn't the only one who did her homework. I'm looking forward to working with you in..." Rey glanced at her notebook. "Mime Club? Really? That's kinda lame, dude." Jake shrugged.
"I didn't choose it. Thank HQ and Stockley for that." He responded. "And your not exactly boring yourself, Crash. Troo- chrmm Mime Club International was almost singing your praises." Rey chuckled.
"Not gonna drop the Crash thing, are you?" She asked. Jake smiled.
"Nope." He said. That was when the teacher decided to do his job and silence the both of them.
Meanwhile, Cadence dragged Hayley to the nearest bathroom and locked the door. The brunette started pacing while Hayley looked like she was going to hurl. Cadence turned to her friend angrily and started whisper yelling at her.
"I can't believe this! I can't believe you didn't tell me! We're friends! Friends tell friends this kind of stuff." Hayley paled and tried to play dumb.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She said weakly. Please don't say it, please don't say it, just ignore it. Please god let her drop it.
Cadence glared. "You know damn well what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the fact that you didn't trust me enough to tell me that you're a lesbian!" Hayley covered her mouth and began to shake her head and sob.
"Don't say that! Please don't say that! I'm not gay, Cadence." She began to mutter as she sunk to the ground. "I'm not gay, I can't be." Hayley began chanting under her breath. "I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay..." Cadence took in the appearance of her broken friend, rocking back and forth on the ground, still repeating the same phrase over and over. Cadence kneeled next to her gently.
"Who are you trying to convince, Hales? Me, or you?" She asked quietly. She reached out slowly, as if she was approaching a frightened and injured animal, sighing in relief when the blonde didn't flinch away from her touch. Cadence gathered up her friend, lifting her from the ground. "It's okay, Hayley. I'm going to take you home and then we'll talk about this. Okay?" Hayley nodded and leaned against the halfling as they left the bathroom and went to her car. After they were gone, Roxanne stepped from the far stall with a smirk.
"Well well well, I think after school I'll cancel cheer practice. I need to pay Gayley a little visit.
A/N: oh snap! Hayley's got some serious gay panic going on, and what it Roxanne planning? Oh we'll, next chapter is the official meeting of
Reyley, at last! And don't worry about Roxy, Rey's gonna play knight in leatherman armor.
P.S. When I said "Hot" in the last chapter, I didn't mean actual heat. It's slang for something with a heavy electric current. Reviews make me happy!
