Chapter 3

Mimi: Hey Belle look at this top it would look great on you.

Belle: I don't know Mimi. It is awfully revealing. People would be staring at me.

Mimi: Belle that's the idea you want guys to notice you.

Belle: Meems but the shit doesn't even go down to my belly button.

Mimi: Just buy it and wear it to homecoming and hopefully by that time I will have

worked you out of this shy stage.

Belle: Okay I will but are you sure it will look okay.

Mimi: Yep and just for questioning me you are going to buy the leather pants too.

2 months later

Belle: Mimi I hate my professor.

Meems: Belle what's the matter. I was taking a nap.

Belle: I am sorry Meems but it is insane. We have a test almost every week and a paper every class and now he tells us that we need to read 2 chapters a night. When am I suppossed to find time for my other classes and cheerleading.

Meems: I know what you are saying. I have more homework than I ever dreamed possible. And I have practice twice a day now that our first game is in two weeks. By the way are you ready for your first game.

Belle: I guess so. We seem to have all our lifts down pretty good. But since I am the smallest girl on the team I have to do the basket toss and I am terrified that they will drop me.

Meems: Well if they do maybe one of the hot basketball players will come pick you back up.

Belle: MIMI! Why on earth would any one of them want to help me?

Meems: Oh give me a break me and Jasmine were talking about these two guys that keep

checking you out at practice.

Belle: We are only in there together for like 20 minutes. Then they leave.

Meems: Well Jasmine said she spotted two guys checking you out after their practice.

Belle: Well I don't know why they would want to look at me when there are other, prettier girls on the squad.

Meems: Belle, you are too shy for your own good. Hey about we go to that party this weekend?

Belle: I don't think so. I need to study.

Meems: You are always studying. You need to take a break.

Belle: Well I don't want to go. Just leave it at that.

Meems: Ok but it would be good for you to get out and meet people.

Shawn's room

Philip: Hey Shawn, are you going to the party Friday night?

Shawn: I don't know. I might head off to the gym to practice hoops.

Philip: You would rather practice than party?

Shawn: I need to keep my game going. I want to actually play some this year.

Philip: But the party will be hot and there will be tons of hot chicks there.

Shawn: I don't need a girl right now. I've got too much else going on with homework, tests, and basketball. I don't have time to meet girls.

Philip: Ok suit yourself but its going to be fun.

Shawn: Phil I have all my life to meet a girl. But it is my dream to play college basketball and I want to be ready. Besides the game is Saturday are you really going to party the night before our first game.

Phil: Shawn the game doesn't start till 5:00. I will be ready don't you worry. From what I hear Kevin and Rex say there is a really hot blonde cheerleader maybe she will be at the party.

Shawn: Thanks but not thanks I am going to head to the gym
