Chapter 3: Cheerleading Dance Party

Elizabeth did a silent prayer as the bell rang ending science class. All she had done was watch Ice from afar and try to shut Lila up, who thankfully got tired of singing by the time she hit version twenty-three.

The classroom emptied quickly but Elizabeth stayed behind taking her time. She had cheerleading practice anyway and Jessica usually showed up and they walked to practice together. Elizabeth wasn't the type to be on a cheerleading squad, but she had missed too much of her gym classes for the Oracle. It was either enroll in an extra curricular physical activity or fail PE. The answer was obvious.

Jessica strolled in to the classroom right on schedule. "Ready to brush up on those cheers?" She asked smiling at her twin.

Elizabeth swung her purple backpack over her shoulders and stood up. "Please I don't need brushing up. You're the one who hit the coach with a baton."

Jessica blushed. "That was last week, and anyway Jeremy was walking by. It couldn't be helped." Jeremy Aames was her hot boyfriend. Jessica turned and stared at something on Ice's desk. "Hey isn't that Ice's hat?"

"Yep." Elizabeth said, she stared at him long enough to memorize his entire wardrobe for the day.

"Cool." Jessica giggled plopping it on her head and striking a pose. "Do I look sexy or what?" She pursed her lips like Keria Knightly but it had more of a silly affect then an attractive one.

Elizabeth laughed. "Oh yeah, watch out Brittany Spears here comes Jessica Wakefield!"

Jessica began to strut down an imaginary runway and waved to her large audience consisting of Elizabeth, Elizabeth, and Elizabeth.

The two girls giggled and Jessica walked over and placed the hat right on Elizabeth's head.

Before Elizabeth realized what was happening Ice walked into the classroom and looked at her.

Elizabeth's heart pounded, the three words 'oh my god' ran through her mind like a mantra. But Ice didn't look mad. Just amused, his eyebrows were quirked upwards and he grinned.

"Looks better on me." He winked taking his blue hat back, placing it sideways on his head, and walking out the door.

Jessica erupted into giggles. "Opps."

Elizabeth stood frozen. He had just touched her hair. She had never been that close to him before. It was nice, he smelled kinda like peppermint. And oh my god, the way his muscles rippled as he lifted his arm. Way too sexy.

"Ok Little Miss Day Dreamer." Jessica said breaking into her thoughts and waving a hand in front of her face. "What's the deal? You like him or something?"

"Go Sweet Valley High!" Elizabeth cheered along with the rest of her squad. Practice was going great. Elizabeth had avoided admitting to liking Ice and her moves were on a role.

Lila Fowler breathed a sigh of relief when the cheer ended and sat down on the gymnasium floor. "Anyone here meet all of the new guys yet?"

Jessica nodded and sat down beside her, "Yep."

"Conner is the hottest!" Cherie Reese cried.

"No! Ice is!" Amy shot back. Those two had been arguing about the exact same thing all day.

Jessica clapped her hands. "Ok vote. All in favor of Ice raise their hands."

Elizabeth, Amy, and Lila did just that.

"Ok and Conner?" Jessica herself raised her hand along with Melissa, and Cherie.

"Ok tie." Jessica called, as though it was a serious government matter.

"Tie for what?" The voice was loud, sarcastic and male. Elizabeth wiped her head around to see Conner strolling into the gym, a sexy smirk on his face, followed by Roy and Sniper.

"What are YOU doing here?" Elizabeth questioned irritably. She really didn't like Conner. Could he say Rude Much?

Conner shrugged. "Me and the guys wanted to watch the sexiest girls in school flaunt their stuff."

"Then you've totally come to the right place." Jessica answered, raising her eyebrows suggestively. The blonde always took charge in such matters. The squad giggled and the guys laughed. Conner and his pals took a seat at the bleachers.

"Ok." Jessica shouted, getting up. "Lets show them are new cheer."

A chorus of "Oks," followed (Elizabeth VERY reluctantly) and soon the gym was filled with loud music, jumping girls, shaking pom poms, and three very turned on guys.

Then Lila started something. She invited Roy down to dance with her and the whole cheer changed. Infact it wasn't a cheer anymore. It was Lila and Roy getting a bit too jiggy with it in the gym. And Jessica continued it rather then finished it, she grabbed Conner by the hand and started gyrating with him.

Elizabeth was in her own crazy little prom and didn't even now it. Soon Sniper was dancing with her and everyone was going crazy and having fun. No one was dancing with anyone, but everyone was dancing with someone.

The song hit its chorus and Elizabeth lets loose, not even caring where she was moving just as long as she was. Bad idea. Her foot caught something and an instant later she was plummeting towards the hard floor. She closed her eyes and waited for the impact.

But it never came.

Instead she felt two strong arms encircle her waist and lift her up against a hard chest.

The music stopped then and Elizabeth opened her eyes to see everyone staring at her. Jessica was smirking, and the others were just staring. She twisted head around and found herself face to face with Conner himself.

She almost died of embarrassment right then and there.

"Klutz." He muttered. That was the second time he called her that in one day. He released her from his arms, shook his head, and walked out of the gym.

Roy and Sniper froze as though wondering what the hell was going on but quickly followed Sniper out.

Lila just stared at the place Roy had vacated. "I think I'm in love."

Melissa glared at Elizabeth. "Nice moving 'Klutz.' You made them all leave."

"Hey!" Elizabeth muttered. "It wasn't my fault."

Cherie placed her hands on her slim hips. "Whatever, but if you just cost me a date with Roy, I'm gonna-"

"What?" Jessica stepped in. "Finish your sentence?"

"Something like that!" Cherie cried indignantly.

Jessie sighed. "Ok, now I really can't wait until tomorrows practice."

Elizabeth couldn't either. Maybe Ice would show up. And not Conner, because she really, really, hated that guy.

AN: First I want to thank everyone who stuck with this story even though I took ages to update (especially Lil Miss Sparkle, you should check out her fic.) Also the reason I didn't update was because I like to wait until I have the same amount of reviews for the chapter I just posted as I did for the one I posted before.

Anyway I'll try to update faster this time, but really it's all up to you reviewers. Thanks again and I hoped you liked chapter 3!
