Chapter 4 Never the Best
Rachel Sanchez POV
I'm off to cheer practice and I'm guaranteed to get in because I am a friend of the captain's. No need to stress and I don't even know why I even have to try out because I was a cheerleader for practically my whole life. It just comes naturally. I open the doors of my new home and there I see Manny, once again but I'm not surprised. I walk over to Paige because she's been expecting me and Manny doesn't see me because she's stretching on the mats.
"Hey girlfriend! I'm glad you showed up!" Paige shouts.
"And why would I not come? I mean cheering is my life."
"That's what we like to hear. I just wish other people had as much school spirit as you."
"Yeah well we are one of kind. So where should I start?" "Are you ready for this?"
"Duh! Bring it on!" I stood in the middle of the gym and waited getting nervous more each second. In front of me are some judges including Paige, Manny, and Hazel sitting at a table. This so reminds me of Bring it On without the male cheerleaders. Now I have a possibility of not getting on the squad since Miss Feisty is a judge. Paige claps her hands a couple of times and the room gets silent, too silent and now all eyes are on me.
"Okay girls here is Rachel auditioning to be on the squad."
"Oh really?" Manny asks as she smirks. Well I'm going to wipe that smirk off her face.
"You'll see so wait and I know that might be hard for you but honey please be quiet."
"You're digging yourself into a really deep hole and pretty soon you'll end up at the core and burn."
"Manny don't be so rude. Okay excuse her Rachel. Some people just don't have manners. Can you do a cartwheel and end with a perfect spilt?"
"We'll see." I say and do exactly what she says. Hey what do you know? I can but that was easy, almost too easy.
"Oh no biggie! Let's see you do a double back flip." Manny says trying to stump me and make a fool out of me but that is only a wish, a wish that will not come true. I smirk back at her and do that double back flip with no problem.
"Ugh well . . . I guess you proved me wrong but I can't say I'm happy about it." Manny says.
"Bravo my dear Rachel. Hazel what so ya think?" Paige asks Hazel who looks surprised but more friendly that Manny.
"Rachel welcome to the squad. Manny say hi to your new tumbler partner." Hazel shouts kind of loudly. Down girl! There's enough Rachel to get passed around. Somebody pinch me to see if I'm real. I pinch myself to find out I am. Okay sorry got a little carried away there, but I'm just very happy and am not afraid to show it.
"We already met, like more than I wanted to but hey Rachel once again. Are you happy Hazel?"
"Actually yeah but chill girl she's not replacing you, just joining you. We're a team so act like one." Hazel says getting a little angry at Manny.
"You can learn the dance moves tomorrow but for now why don't you and Manny go over there and practice for the big show on next Thursday. I hope you are ready in time and maybe you and Manny can think of something new, something original and please work as a team like Haze said. All right then and yeah if you want to, you can help out with the bakery sale? We need all the help we can get." Paige says in a perky way as she smiles brightly.
"Sure sounds like fun. When?"
"Well probably on Monday so we can get the new cheerleading costumes on Wednesday. Short notice, I know but we can make it happen. Got to go help the rest of the squad. Chow hun!"
"So Manny I know you hate me and all but if you want to do good at the competition you will practice with me and put all judgments aside."
"You don't know me really well do ya?"
"No but we don't want to get in another argument like our silly one in Mr. Simpson's. You can be the quite little drama queen."
"Fine we will work together and about the volunteering for the bakery sale, why don't we do our own thing in our own time to make it easier for the both of us? I'll make some posters and you can schedule the place and time, alright Rach?"
"Can't complain but please call me Rachel besides I never liked the name Rach. It makes me sound kind of bratty. Don't cha think?"
"Oh no, would've never made that connection."
Well I can see she isn't going to be easy to work with and at least I was willing to try but she won't even give me a chance so we won't be getting along any time soon. Could she be mad about earlier in the hall when I accidentally tripped her? Like it was an accident, but she should watch where she is walking because that it is how things are prevented. It was pretty funny. That poor thing! She's just jealous that I'm more talented but I can't say she is completely hopeless and I do suppose I have some competition to beat so I can be on top, the best. Cheer's over so I go outside to wait for my dad or mom to pick me up but I'm not sure whom exactly. The red jeep pulls up with the classic r&b radio station on loud, car vibrating and I hear a familiar voice singing. Mom has to be mom because she loves the oldies specially Earth, Wind and Fire and I've grown up listening to it, loving it more each day.
"So sweetie how was the audition?" Mom says wearing a new suit and I can't say I hate it.
"Well I made it but this one girl Manny has it in for me. Mom she totally hates me and I didn't do anything to her."
"I've heard that one before. Honey please keep a low profile and be good, wouldn't want to move again because of the trouble you get in."
" Oh please leave the past in the past, mom. I've learned my lesson." Mom turns away from the wheel and looks at me, "Well sort of for the most part. Do you miss it?"
"Home? Yeah I do but this is a good place too. Why?"
"I really miss my friends and . . . Tommy. I really miss him. I just wish I could speak to him, let him know how I'm feeling and where I am."
"No, no, no, and no! He's why we left so I'm putting my foot down, so no."
"But mom I was in that car too. I am to be blamed too and you can't tie me down like this. I left every thing behind like you wanted me to do and this is all I ask." Mom's silent and just turns the radio up louder to tune my voice out but I never had one. I've blown, lost it. She no longer trusts me and it's all because of one stupid night, one mistake that ruined just about everything.
"Oh forget it, if you can even hear me." I mumble to myself and look out the window. We're getting closer to our new house, which is still just a place to live, not a home, just somewhere to stay and nothing more.
Manny Santos P.O.V
My life couldn't get any more horrible but I shouldn't say that because something worse is bound to happen and I don't want to jinx myself. I think I just did. Everything is going to be great, just great. Oh what's the use? I'm no good at this positive motivation when my whole life is on the rocks, getting harder to take each moment of the day. I can't believe that she made the team. Ugh I'm lying and know it, can't even fool myself. She's good, maybe even better and I hate her even more. Now I have to work with her on that stupid fundraiser. I should've never taken that spot and now I'm paying for it. I go home just about to burst. Oh wait somebody has already burst my bubble.
"Hello lovely family of mine. I'm home." I listen and hear silence, very unusual, quite sad. I walk into the kitchen and see mom cooking and it smells delicious. At least she's cooking my favorite meal, home made enchiladas, made with lots of love. Yum! I 'm glad nobody's yelling but still something's missing. Our house isn't as warm and welcoming as it is most of the time. I look for my dad and find him in his office, working up a storm, arguing with a client on the phone. I run upstairs to spy on my brother because I really want to know about this girl he's been dating without telling me, which is not a Steven thing to do. I walk into his empty room wishing that he were here. The doorbell rings and mom yells from down stairs and tells me to answer the door. I hear my brother's voice outside the door.
"Hey Steven! Nice to see you!"
"Hi Sis. Same back to you." He says in an uplifting, happy to see you kind of way. I pause, not speaking as I notice a girl standing next to my brother and they're holding hands. I'm just shocked that he would bring her here so soon to meet the family especially without being warned. Are they that serious of a couple? Why wasn't I told about this? Steven and her stand outside just waiting which seems like forever when in fact it has only been about a minute or two. Why won't they come in?
"Manny can you please move and be kind to invite us in because it's getting cold just waiting out here?" Steven asks. Duh I'm blocking the entrance. I need to snap out of this trance and realize that my brother has a life of his own too and has the right to have a girlfriend or maybe I should just get some sleep.
"Of course! So Steve is this a new friend of yours?" I ask the blonde girl giggles, "It wasn't meant to be funny."
"Sorry about that but I'm more than a friend. I'm Christy, his girlfriend."
"Really? Steven hasn't mentioned you once and we are pretty close."
"Manny I have mentioned her about twice but you might just don't remember." Steven says getting kind of nervous.
"No I really think I would remember this. I mean after all this is your girlfriend, love of your life and that just isn't something you forget."
"Sis, quit it now because you're not making Christy feel very welcomed."
"No I just have question, just some simple question. Loosen up and feel the cool breeze in your hair. What brings you here, Chrissie?"
"It's Christy but people always make that mistake. Your brother invited me over for dinner and to meet you and the rest of the family. Where are they by the way?"
"In the kitchen. Follow me this way." He says. I follow them and they continue to hold hand acting all lovey dubby. It's kind of gross. Is this my brother or an imposter? She has all control over him and I don't like it.
Rachel Sanchez POV
"Hey kids, dinner five minutes so be ready." Mom yells from the kitchen, wearing her kiss the chef apron. Then dad comes running through the front door out of breath with his brief case.
"Sorry, but I'm here. Did I miss dinner?"
"No, mom is almost done so you're going to join us?"
"Actually I'm working on a really big case so I'm going to have to miss the whole bonding thing with you kids. I'm sorry!"
"Do you even mean that anymore? You've said it so many times but yet you don't try harder."
"Excuse me young lady! I have a job that expects a lot from me."
"I don't why you're getting so mad, Dad. Every kid my age wants what I'm asking for but I guess I'm one of the unfortunate ones. Well you can't have everything."
"Honey, that isn't . . ." Mom comes into the room.
"Hello Rob so what's it this time?"
"Mom don't even ask. Maybe we should just put a drive through so there will be no contact with this man who claims to be my dad."
"Ha ha very funny but don't be so rude or else you'll be grounded."
"Sure!"
"Don't talk to your mother like that! Apologize. I'm waiting." Typical parent thing to say and I can say sorry all they want but will never mean it because he has no reason to be mad with me. I'm right, he's wrong.
"Sorry mother dearest. I'm going to go fix him a plate."
"You do that."
After I serve dad his plate, he goes to the guesthouse to eat his dinner alone, without us kids to join him. Today he didn't even ask me how my day was, which is so rude. So my aunt, mom and brother have dinner with me, which is actually okay with me because I wouldn't want dad here because he would be rushing.
"So Josh how was your first day at Degrassi?" My mom asks.
"Great, made some new friends, met some new teachers, and some of the guys say I should join the foot ball team so everything's going smooth just as planned."
"You plans? Very funny Bro! I needed a good laugh."
"I like you better when you just stop. Would it hurt you to shut your mouth when others are speaking?"
"I don't know, never tried!"
"I think I just proved my point. So sis how was your day?"
"Almost perfect, key word almost! I mean I made some cool, new popular friends, made the cheer squad, but then this one b . . ."
"Watch your mouth!" Mom shouts.
"I was going to brat. So Manny is the rudest, meanest girl I've ever known and she's in like most of my classes so I have to see her like all the time."
"Manny?" Josh asks.
"Yeah! What's it to you?"
"Well Manny isn't all that fond of you either but she seems like a very nice and attractive girl."
"Puh-leeze she barely wears anything and every jerky guy likes her but you? How can you like her?"
"I didn't say that so stop putting words in my mouth but I wouldn't mind getting to know her better."
"You've stooped very low this time, so not cool. I don't want to speak to any Manny lovers so don't bother talking to me."
"It would be my pleasure." Uh the nerve of my brother saying that just makes me sick.
Manny Santos POV
We're all sitting at the table and everybody's silent, making me very uncomfortable. Is this what would happen if I brought Craig over for dinner not that, that would ever happen? It would probably be Josh, oh my prince charming Josh even though I know nothing about him besides the fact he's Rachel's sister.
"Um so Christy, how did you and my brother meet?" I ask not really wanting to know but just to break the silence and she seemed surprised.
"Quite funny little story if I do say myself." She pauses and smiles at Steven, "I guess you could say it was love at first site." Mom spits out her water alarmed by the word love and dad just looks puzzled more interested into eating.
"Love. You're in love?" Mom asked wiping the water from her mouth.
"Yes I said love. Steven was playing football and I was walking by really fast because I was running late to class and then I spotted him and he spotted me and paused, and dropped the football. We locked eyes and then the other team tackled him to the ground."
"Oh!" Mom says.
"It really hurt and lost us the game but who cares if you lose a game. Heck I found the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with."
"Oh please." I shout. Did I ask for this? I did! Since when did I live in a teenage chick flick?
"Manny, show more respect for you brother but it does sound quite unbelievable, doesn't it?" Dad laughs and I join him, with tears in my eyes. Steven gets mad and then he heads to the door and Christy tags along.
"Steven, wait!" Mom yells, following him, leaving dad and me at the table. Dad shrugs his shoulders. "Why not?" dads say, leaving the table too leaving me alone, all alone, just like everybody else. I grab a can of Dr. Pepper and bag of chips and run upstairs leaving the drama downstairs. I have some homework to do including that stupid poem I have to write. What do I say? Do I lie and say everything's perfect or simply tell the truth? I'm miserable.
I've kind of been lacking in reviews and hope whoever reads this, reviews also. I would really appreciate it. I like hearing your thoughts and opinions so please R&R and thanks to you who have already!
