Trailers. 3:15. Massie's heart was pounding hard. Harder than any horse riding competition she had been too. It wasn't the tryouts that scared her so much, no, definatly not. Massie Block was meant to be captain. Maybe it was the fact that the soccer boys were standing practically ten feet away from her and her pretty committee minus Kristen. This is what it must of felt like to be Claire. She kept her arms crossed in front of her chest to look confident, no matter how far from it she was. She couldn't even face the trailers and began walking away with the PC following. The cheerleading tryouts were to be held on the soccer field behind the school, perfect view for the boys. Her outfit was definatly a plus, with her DKNY loose tee and Juicy Couture terry cloth shorts, finished with Coach converse style sneakers.
"Hey Massie, I didn't know you were the cheerleading type!" Derrington called out. Him and his friends started cracking up completely.
Massie did a complete 180 and shot back," Der-rik, did I invite you to my BBQ?" The PC behind her snickered knowing what was next.
"Uh, no." Derrington was slightly confused, but new what must be coming.
"Then why are you all up in my grill?" The PC burst out laughing an exchanged a round of high fives and take-that looks. Derrington just ended up rolling his eyes and turning his attention back to his friends. All his best comebacks were used about two weeks ago when they first encountered in the bomb shelter. Typical. Massie used this oppurtunity to check him out. His jeans hung slightly around his hips and his volcum T-shirt made his tanned skin pop.
Claire had kept her head down the whole time avoiding eye contact with Cam. She replied to his text from last week just saying 'Maybe.' and he didn't say anything after that. There were the occasional gummies and C-notes, but nothing that said " I desperatly want to be with you." It wasn't that she didn't like him, she definatly did, it was all just too confusing.
A loud obnoxious wistle to gather all the girls was blown. The PC took their time walking over, there was no rush.
Kristen wasn't across the field where the girl's soccar team was practicing. She said her mom was forcing her to do an afterschool job.
" I'm just going to show you some basic cheerleading moves, and see what you can do," the PC jumped in mid-instruction of the tryouts. A volunteer parent was the one talking . She wore a Nike tracksuit and had her brown hair tied up in a tight pony tale. "I won't be running the squad. I'll be picking a captain to run the pract-" the lady stopped mid-sentence and looked at Dylan, "Are you Merri-Lee Marvil's daughter? I heard you went to this school and you look so much like her."
"Yes." Dylan rolled her eyes and crossed her arms in front of her chest in a bored way. She was Dyan Marvil, nawt Merri-Lee Marvils daughter. Gawd.
"Well anyways, I will choose the captain to run the pratcices and make up routines and fourteen other members. That means ten of you will have to be cut. And practices will be held every Tuesday and Friday after school, and games on week-ends.
Massie looked around and saw people like Braille Bait and Great White, they looked much better becasue of her help. Although she hated to call them that, she still didn't know their real names. Massie also saw Duh-livia. No suprise. It's ahb-vious Duh-livia would be attracted to short skirts and shaking her cute butt around guys.
"I bet Duh-livia's self- esteem is so low right now that Cam dumped her." She was hoping that this would make her feel better.
Claire giggled softly into her palm. Claire peaked out of the corner of her eye and saw Cam staring a her. Or maybe all of the girls, she couldn't tell. Her cellphone vibrated recieving a message from Cam.
Cam: u look cute.
Claire felt all sheepish and showed the message to Massie.
"Don't say anything back. Just look over at him and smile," Massie whisper- advised.
Claire did what Massie did and he smiled back. Then the tryouts really began. The PC will come out on top.
Heyy..thanks for all the reviews. The whole Derrington/Dempsey thing i think im going to keep kinda confusing so you can make ur own assumptions of how she is feeling. Cheesy right? haha and Massie's comebacks, im not to good at those so im going to just steal ones from previous books. next chapter will be later tonight in massie's bedroom. Review plzz
