Chapter 2

'So sweetie, nervous for your first day back at school?' Jay says

'A little bit, but can't I just stay home with you. It isn't a real school day. You can just join clubs and sports teams and things like that.' Adelina answers

'Then try out for the power squad. Your mom used to be captain you know.'

'Yeah, I know. I've heard it like a thousand times.' She says angry.

Jay looks up from the sandwiches he was making. 'What's up?'

'I don't want to talk'

He walks to her and gives her a hug. 'Please, tell me so I can help.'

'Dad, you're not good at talking and mom is never around.'

'So you miss mom?'

'No! I just…there's this pressure because of mom. She used to be so popular, pretty and amazing. That I can never live up to that. I'm no cheerleader. I'm no little miss popular. Let me just be me!'

She grabs her bag and walks out the door.

Manny just walks down stairs 'What was wrong?'

'Just..uhm..Did we used to be so difficult when we were her age?' Jay asks.

'No, we were worse.' She smiles and kisses him.

'So how bad was it this morning?' Victor asks.

'Horrible, they just seem to can't stop fighting.' Austin says.

'Too bad, but don't let it ruin our first day of high school.'

'Like that is so amazing' Austin says irritated.

'Hey, I'm just trying to help man.'

'Sorry, I just hate that they fight all the time.'

'I know, just try. They will get through this so don't worry about it too much. For now, let's see what club to join.' Victor says.

'Fine.'

'Heey Dave, I have to go to work but you'll be here to welcome..what was his name again?' Alli asks.

'Tyler'

'Yes, Tyler.' She smiles. 'I'm so happy'

'Why's that?'

'Because everything's great with us. We have a new foster kid to make happy and we have an appointment at the adoption agency. Life's great.' She smiles and kisses him.

'You're right life's great.' He smiles.

'I really do have to go.'

'I know' He gives her one last kiss then she walks to the door just when she wants to open it the bell rings.

'They're early' she says to Dave and then opens the door.

There's this really tall blonde guy with sparkeling blue eyes and who looks tough standing on the doorstep. 'Hi, I'm Tyler.'

'Hi, I'm Alli, but I'm also late so I see you tonight.' She turns to Dave for just one more kiss.

Then she touches Tyler's arm. 'O and Tyler, welcome' she smiles and walks to her car.

'Hey, I'm Dave' Dave reaches out his hand and Tyler shakes it. 'So let me help you with those' He points at the bags Tyler dropped next to him when he ringed the doorbell.

'O, thanks. But I got it.' Tyler grabs the bags.

'Okay, then I'll show you to your room.' Dave walks back in the house and up the stairs then another stairs. He opens the door and there is a really big room with white and blue walls. There is a kingsize bed on the right. A bureau on the left with a computer on it. Then in the back there's a big couch and a tv and next to the couch are two closets, one for clothes and one for other stuff.

'Wow' is all Tyler says.

'So it's okay?'Dave asks. 'We didn't know what kind of colors you like but we thought blue and white was a good safe chose.'

'It's great, Thank you.'

'You're welcome. Just take your time. Unpack, get comfortable and when you're ready I'll be down with drinks and food maybe we can talk a bit. If you want to.' Dave says.

'Yeah, I'll be down when I'm done.' Tyler answers.

'Okay' Dave shuts the door and walks down the stairs.

Tyler looks around then drops his bags and walks to his bed and let himself fall down.

'My own room…' He says.

'Okay, girls. Let's see what you've got.' Grace says. 'toe touches'

She walks around and looks how the girls are doing.

'Nice one, Blaze' She says Blaze smiles and does another.

'Kate, this isn't a toe touch. Higher' Grace walks by Kate.

Kate looks at Grace. 'I can't' She says with tears in her eyes.

'Okay, just try to keep up with the routine later.' Grace walks away.

'Adelina, what are you doing here? I thought I was clear with try-outs last year, but if you think you got better. Please, try?' Grace says sarcastic to Adelina who is standing at the side line.

'I'm not here to try-out. Not everyone wants to be a cheerleader, you know?' Adelina says

'No, I don't. Everyone wants to be popular and have guys looking at you.'

'Of course, so you. The most important thing in the world is that guys look at you. that's pathetic. O and since you asked I'm just here for my friend Blaze. So if you move along I can see how she's doing.' Adelina smiles mean at Grace and Grace just turns around angry and walks away.

Adelina waves at Blaze. Her best friend smiles back at her.

'What about photo club? It can be fun.' Victor says to Austin.

Austin doesn't hear him . He's staring at a girl with beautiful green eyes and light brown hair.

'Hello? Earth to Austin?' Victor says then he follows Austin's eyes. 'O, a girl'

'What?' Austin ask.

'You were looking at that girl over there.' He points at the school paper stall.

'No, I wasn't.' He tries to convince Victor.

'Relax, I get it. She's pretty.' Victor says. 'So news paper?'

'Yeah, I could try and write the music reviews.'

'Or the movie reviews and maybe you should bring the girl for a second opinion.' Victor smiles at his friend.

Austin smiles back. 'See you later.' He walks over to the news paper stall.

'Good luck' Victor says.

'Hi, are there any positions left?' He asks to the girl.

'Yeah, I guess so. You just have to fill out a form and then you'll hear later if you got it.' She hands him a form.

'Thanks, I'm Austin btw.'

'You're welcome and I should go. Bye'

'Bye' He says. He doesn't realize he still doesn't know her name un till she's gone.

'Okay, girls one more time. It's not that hard.' Grace says.

The girls do the routine again.

'Okay, Thank you all for your hard work. The list hang in the caf tomorrow.' Grace says. 'Kate can I please talk to you for a sec?'

Kate looks up surprised 'Sure' She walks with Grace to the side of the field. 'What's up?'

'I just don't want you to be disappointed tomorrow, because I know how bad you want this.'

'What do you mean?'

'You didn't make the cut. I'm sorry Kate but you're not good enough. I'm sure there will be something else that you'll be great at.'

'What?!...I can't do something else. My sister is a cheerleader. My brother de QB. Why can't I be like them.'

'Just train hard this year then I'm sure you'll make the cut next year.' Grace gives Kate a hug. 'I'll see you by the car.'

Kate feels the tears in her eyes. 'Warren is de sweet, handsome sportsman who looks just like dad. Blaze is the beautiful, popular cheerleader who looks just like mom. Who am I? I'm somewhere in between I don't look like mom or dad. I'm not good at anything….' She thinks, then she can't hold it any longer and starts to cry.
