When the Cameron family arrived home they all greeted their parents who were sitting down drinking a cup of coffee. The twins ran off to their rooms after grabbing a drink and something to eat and left the older children to talk to their parents.
"So how was school?" Isabella Cameron asked her children and they all took a seat at the table with their parents
"Well I got Captain of the Varsity team" Jake said and both his parents congratulated him, his mom with a kiss on the head and his father with a shake of the hand.
"I got Senior Captain for the squad" Allison told her parents and both Parents congratulated her, and everyone looked at Jess who was sitting their silently tapping her fingers against the wood of the table.
"Anything happen today with you Jess" Jess looked up and saw the amused faces on Jakes and Ally's face
"Uh, well, not really-" Jake interrupted his sister by saying
"She made a friend today" Isabella and Daniel Cameron looked at Jess in surprise and Isabella said
"That's great honey, what's their name?"
"Her name is Remy Hadley" Allison said before Jess could answer and Jess glared at her sister slightly
"Thank-you Allison" Jess said through gritted teeth and turned to face her parents "Yes, I did make a friend and yes her name is Remy, she is in my Roll Call Class, English and Science Class"
"That means she's smart" Daniel said and nodded approvingly at his daughter, Allison and Jess rolled their eyes at their father while Jake smirked.
"Dad, she doesn't have to be smart" Allison said
"No, but it means she can be a good influence on Jessica, Allison this has nothing to do with you" Daniel said looking disapprovingly at his eldest daughter, Allison rolled her eyes once more
"If she ever talks" Jess muttered under her breath receiving a laugh from Jake and a glare from Allison, Jess smiled at her brother but gave her sister a confused look "What? Why are you getting defensive, you hardly know her and I am telling you now, she never talks" Allison blushed slightly and looked away from her sister receiving 4 curious and confused glances
"I am not getting defensive, you hardly know her either, she might just have been nervous" Allison said with a slightly angry tone, Jess raised her eyebrows at her sister
"Chill Ally, what is wrong with you?" Jess said and Allison glared at her
"What are we talking about?" Isabella asked with a confused look
"Remy is a very…. quiet girl, she doesn't say much" Allison explained and Jess rolled her eyes at her sister.
"Well that's ok, does she have any siblings?"
"Like I said, she never talks" Jess said and Allison stood up from the table and walked out of the room leaving her family very confused, they were silent for a minute until they heard a big 'SLAM'
"What's wrong with her this afternoon?" Jess asked
"I think she likes her" Jake said staring after his sister, Jess looked at him confused and shook her head.
Allison walked into her room and shut the door behind her with a slam; she walked over to her bed and was about to sit down but decided to pace instead. When she first saw Remy she thought the girl was amazingly beautiful and was right away attracted to her. Allison had noticed a girl of to the left watching her while she and her team practiced; Allison's first thought when she noticed the girl watching was that she wanted to try out for the squad. After 10 minutes of Remy staring at the team she noticed the girl was actually staring at her, not staring at anyone else but her. Allison started to get distracted and lost all her concentration, since she could feel the eyes on her she had started to blush. After being distracted for a while, Allison had instantly thought 'I have to meet this girl'
At the end of the session she turned to see that the girl was talking to her sister, Allison had instantly got excited and thought 'now I have an excuse to talk to her' she looked at them for a moment and then walked over to her sister. While she talked to her sister the girl was watching on and she wanted to know the girl's name. The girl replied in the sexiest voice Allison had ever heard, 'OMG' Allison thought as she listened to her voice, Remy Hadley, that was her name, it instantly sent shivers down Allison's back and she felt her stomach turn over.
Allison was instantly attracted to the girl and it scared her, she wasn't a lesbian and she knew that but what she had felt towards this girl was something totally new. 'Maybe I am bisexual' Allison thought as she paced her room, all she knew was that she had to get to know this girl. 'Maybe I could talk to her tomorrow' Allison thought but her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a knock on the door
"Who is it?" Allison yelled
"Me" Jess yelled back and Allison walked over to the door and opened it to see her sister holding an apple
"Peace offering" Jess said and held out the apple, Allison smiled and took the apple from her sister, she turned it over and noticed a bite mark
"Hey! You bit my gift!" Allison exclaimed and noticed a sweet smile on Jess' face
"I got hungry on the way here" Jess said and grinned at her sister cheekily, Allison opened her mouth to reply and then decided to just eat the apple.
"So what do you want?" Allison asked as she sat down on her bed, Jess walked in and narrowed her eyes for a second
"Do you really want me to try out for the squad?" Allison looked taken aback for a second before she smiled at Jess and said
"Yes I would love it if you would but you don't have too"
"I am worried that I am going to suck" Jess said with a slight laugh, Allison smiled at her and laughed a little
"Don't worry, you wont suck, I have seen you dance and plus I am the captain"
"But I don't want to get in just because my sister is Captain, that is unfair" Allison smiled at Jess' good nature and said
"Don't worry Jess, you will be great! Please try out" Jess looked in thought for a moment and then smiled at her sister and said
"Ok, I'll do it, but if I make a fool of myself it is your fault and you will pay" Allison laughed and got up off the bed and walked over to her sister, she collected her in a hug and said
"I love you lil' sis" Jess smiled and replied
"I love you too big sis"
The next morning all of the Cameron kids where up and ready to go by 8:00 am, they all had their breakfast and were already saying goodbye to their parents and out the door. They had a quick ride to school with no traffic in their way and got out of the car to see that the playground was full
"We are early for once and yet everyone is here before us," Jess said to Jake and Allison as the two twins ran off to their friends. Allison laughed and said
"Hey we are Cameron's, we are allowed to come late" Jake and Jess joined in the laughter and Jake turned to face Allison
"Well aren't you cocky today" Jake said and Allison looked up at him with her nose held high in the air
"Well, I am the captain of the cheerleading squad and you are the captain of the Varsity Football Team" Allison said and then turned to Jess and looked at her for a second "And you…. well you're smart" Allison said and turned away to face a smiling Jake
"HEY! I am more than just brains" Allison turned back around and raised her eyebrows at her sister and asked in a sarcastic unbelievable tone
"Really?" Jess glared at her and was about to walk away when she felt an arm wrap around her shoulder and looked to see Allison walking next to her
"I was joking, I love you sis, you are more than just brains…you have looks too" Jess gasped and glared at her sister again who was laughing her head off. Jess stormed away from her sister pretending to be angry, she could still hear her sisters laugh, Jess turned back to see her sister trying to catch up with her and then started to walk faster not looking where she was going and ran straight into someone
"Oh, I am so sorry, I really didn't mean to"
"It's alright" the other girl said and Jess looked up to see the amused face of Remy Hadley
"Oh hey, wow what a great start to the day" Remy nodded, Jess stood there for a second and was about to say something else when a breathless Allison came up to them. Allison bent over with her hands on her knees giving everyone a good look of her behind through her jeans. Many of the guys standing behind her started whistling and Jess turned and glared at them, she pulled her sister up and said
"You really don't realize how much of a flirt you are do you?"
"Huh? I wasn't flirting I was exhausted, how could I flirt with someone when I can't even speak?" Allison asked breathlessly and Jess rolled her eyes
"You were bending over in skinny jeans" A look came across Allison's face and she opened her mouth
"Oh…oops" Allison said and shrugged her shoulders; she then realized that Remy was standing there watching the whole ordeal, "Hey Remy"
"Hey Allison" Remy said and smiled a big toothy smile at her, Jess looked taken aback at the smile and wondered why Remy wouldn't smile for anyone besides Allison, where as Allison felt like her legs would collapse from under her, and not just because of the running. 'Her smile is beautiful' Allison thought as she stared at the smiling Remy in awe, Allison wasn't sure if she was drooling but she could feel her mouth hanging open. Remy's big smile soon turned into a shy confused smile at Allison's look, Jess looked over at her gaping sister and furrowed her brows, she reached forward and closed Allison's mouth, Allison snapped her head around to face her sister
"What… did you see a hot guy or something?" Jess asked with a grin, Allison blushed and quickly looked at Remy to see she was looking at her shoes
"Uh, yeah, really hot guy was walking past" Allison said quickly and Jess nodded her head and turned to Remy
"I hate it when she is like this"
"Shut up" Allison said and shoved her sister; a slight smile came over Remy's features
"Oh I have to go" Jess said looking at her watch, her sister gave her a confused glance "I have to get a book for one of my classes before school starts" Allison nodded and said
"Come to the gym at lunch time, you won't be sorry" Jess rolled her eyes and nodded
"Ok I will go to your stupid cheerleading thing" Allison glared at her and Jess walked away. Allison shook her head and suddenly remembered Remy standing there; she turned around to see Remy standing there with her eyebrows raised
"How did you manage to convince her?" Remy asked and Allison looked at her questioningly "Yesterday she was so against trying out for the cheerleading squad and yet now she is turning up at the gym at lunch to try out" Allison smiled
"I didn't, she came to me and said that she wanted to try out, I really didn't do anything than keep on annoying her" Remy laughed and Allison's eyes widened, the laugh sent shivers down her spine. Remy smiled her amazing toothy smile
"You have an amazing smile" Allison said, Remy blushed and looked away from Allison's eyes, Allison smiled as Remy looked back up at her
"So do you" Remy said and Allison blushed and smiled, their eyes locked onto each others and they stood there staring into each others eyes, they were ripped from their gaze as the bell rung. Allison shook her head and said
"Um, are you coming to try outs today?" A look of disgust came upon Remy's face but she quickly hid it from Allison and said
"Uh, Cheerleading is not my thing" Allison smiled
"I saw that look Hadley, Cheerleading is not as bad as you think" Remy rolled her eyes but smiled a little smile "You are welcome to come and watch, you don't have to try out, you can just be a judge and tell us who should and should not be on the team" Remy raised her eyebrows and Allison quickly continued "You wouldn't be alone or anything, we have a manager who does everything for the team and she helps us decide on who should be on the team and let me tell you now she is not a cheerleader" Allison laughed and Remy smiled and nodded her head
"I might just take you up on that Cameron" Allison smiled and said
"See you at lunch Hadley" Remy nodded and smiled at the new nickname, Remy watched as Allison walked towards her roll call 'I think I might enjoy this year' Remy thought and then walked off to the direction of her Roll Call.
The day went pretty fast for Jess and she soon found herself entering the gymnasium for Cheerleading try-outs, she looked around and saw about 20 girls were sitting on the benches all nervously waiting for the head cheerleaders to appear. Jess walked over to all of the other girls and saw Eva sitting up on the 3rd lot of seats, Jess started to walk over to her and when she was a couple of meters away she heard someone say
"So are you here to cheer or are you here to drool over Allison" Jess looked over towards Eva and saw that Amber was the one talking to her.
Amber Fitzgerald was the snobbiest girl in school, she thought of herself as the most popular, behind Allison, and thought she was the 'Hottie' of Grade 10. Amber was the stuck up wannabe that every school had along with their sidekick of course who in this case is Ashley James who was the dullest crayon in the box.
Ashley hid behind Amber all the time, she went along with whatever Amber said and worshipped the ground that she walked on, it was quite pathetic and whenever she saw it Jess laughed and laughed.
"Uh-Uh…I…"
"What cat got your tongue?" Amber asked
"Yeah cat got your tongue? Ashley repeated and Jess rolled her eyes, Eva looked around and noticed everyone was staring at her
"Well…. are you going to say something?" Amber asked and Eva blushed a deep red, the door swung open and in came Allison and Courtney, who was Vice Captain this year
"Oh look Eva, it's your crush" Amber said and the girls sitting at the booths laughed, all the ones that were friends of Amber's of course. Eva blushed and looked like she was going to burst into tears any second. Jess didn't know what to do, she knew what she should do but couldn't get herself to do it.
As Allison and Courtney got closer the laughing continued and everyone was starting to point at Eva
"What are you going to say Dyke?" Eva looked taken aback for a second and then you could see the tears in her eyes, everyone kept on laughing and Jess shook her head. Jess looked around the gym and saw Remy sitting with Lucy 'What is she doing here?' Jess thought briefly and then noticed the sad look on her face. She saw Remy stand up and make her way over to where Amber was sitting. Jess raised her eyebrows and watched
"Hey, uh what's your name?" Remy asked and everyone in the gym looked taken aback
"Amber… how could you not know that, I am the most popular girl in school"
"Yeah how could you not know that?" Ashley said in her high-pitched voice and Remy flinched, every eye in the gym was on her
"My god, you need to sit down and shut up before I put a cork down your throat" Ashley flinched and stood slightly behind Amber
"Who are you?"
"Someone who has watched your crap for 5 minutes and is already sick of it" Amber and Ashley looked at her confused before Remy continued "Why pick on a poor girl who has done nothing to you? So what if she likes girls, more than a quarter of this school probably does and there is nothing wrong with it. Stop picking on someone just because they are attracted to someone your not" Remy said and was about to turn away when she suddenly said "Oh wait, maybe you are attracted to the same person" Amber's mouth opened and closed and Remy smirked, laughs were heard among the girls however Remy failed to notice that Allison and Courtney had entered the gym and were watching the whole conversation play out.
"I am not a Dyke, unlike some people here" Amber said and looked at Eva then back at Remy "Let me guess, are you are one too? That's why you are standing up for Eva the Elephant" A few of the girls laughed and Eva looked down embarrassed.
"You are a fricken loony, Eva isn't an elephant and like I said there is nothing wrong with liking the same sex, maybe when you grow up you will realize that" Remy said
"Dyke, who do you think you are talking to" Amber replied and Remy rolled her eyes
"I think I am talking to a wannabe slut who is nothing but a cruel heartless Bi*ch who needs to get a life" the girls around them gasped, nobody ever talked to Amber like that "Also Amber the sooner you realize that Allison isn't going to like you the sooner you can get over your crush on her and stop picking on people that actually have a shot with her" Amber glared at Remy as she walked away but suddenly said
"I have more of a chance than you Dyke" Remy stopped where she was and turned around in her spot
"Allison is not going to fall for a b*?!h like you so get over it" Amber walked closer to Remy and said
"You are going to pay for that" and with that she slapped Remy across the cheek and turned her back to her. Allison who was watching the scene raced over to Remy
"Are you ok?" Allison asked and Remy looked at her, she nodded while her hand still covered her cheek "Here let me look at that" Allison said and pulled Remy's hand away from her face to see a nasty red hand print. Allison gently ran her fingertips over the sore spot and Remy flinched. Allison smiled and looked at her, her gaze soon went to Amber and she walked over to the girl
"Amber?" Amber looked up and saw Allison, her face lifted and she smiled a toothy smile
"Hey Allison" Allison smiled a fake smile
"Amber do you want to be a cheerleader?" Amber nodded her head quickly and Allison continued "Well if you do want to become a cheerleader I suggest you sit down, shut up and stop hurting the judges" Amber looked confused for a moment and then her eyes widened. Allison grinned and said "Yeah" Amber took a seat next to Ashley and Allison walked to the front of the pack
"Ok, now that the drama is over let's start shall we?" The group nodded excitedly and all looked at Allison. "Before we begin though I want you to meet some people who will be helping us along the way. Everyone this is Lucy Green and she is the Squads manager, she is also one of my best friends and has kindly agreed to be one of the judges for today's events. Next is Courtney, she is going to be the Vice Captain this year and she is also going to be one of the judges. Next is someone who you all may know since she just made a lovely speech Remy Hadley" All the girls looked to the blushing girl and Allison continued "She is going to be one of the judges today as well and hopefully she will stick around through the season and help out Lucy sort of like a co-manager" Allison said and then looked at Remy who nodded and smiled a slight smile "The rest of the judges who will be assessing you today are Timmy and Chris, two of the most senior cheerleaders, and of course me." The guys waved and nodded "Anything you want to say Courtney?"
"Let's get started…" Courtney said and took a seat on one of the chairs that was at the front of the gym. Everyone was told to wait out in the foyer and one by one they would be called in to audition. Remy, Lucy, Allison, Courtney, Chris and Timmy took a seat at the front of the gym and Allison called in the first person
"Louise Adams…" Louise was not the best dancer and so she decided to sing for the judges, she was immediately given an X next to her name as Courtney called in the next person "NEXT!" She yelled
The auditions went on like this for a while until they reached the C's
"Jessica Cameron" Courtney called and Jess walked in. She looked at Allison nervously who was smiling at her, her gaze then traveled to Remy who was sitting there, her head in her hands and a smirk on her lips. Jess sighed and performed the dance routine which Allison had taught her last night. When she had finished all the judges clapped and Courtney said
"Thank you Jess, we'll get back to you" Jess nodded and exited the gym. The judges all looked at each other and Allison smiled and nodded her head. Everyone else smiled and ticked Jessica's name. 'YES!' Allison thought and made an excited gesture when she thought no one was looking and bit her lip to hide her excitement. She looked at Remy who was sitting next to her and noticed that she was grinning at her
"What?" Allison whispered innocently and Remy shook her head.
