Chapter three : be true to your school
In which Amybeth tries out for cheer
IT WAS A SUNNY MONDAY MORNING IN BEVERLY HILLS and the school announcements were starting. amybeth was sitting in her homeroom class working on homework that she once again forgot to do. as she did that, a girl with blonde hair turned around to look at amybeth
"Hey Amybeth McKay, right?" Asked the girl as she tried to get Amybeth's attention, Amybeth turned around
"Yeah, why?" Asked Amybeth as she went back to her homework, the blonde hair girl turned back around to hand Amybeth a flyer. She placed it on her desk as Amybeth read it
"Cheer try outs?" Asked Amybeth as she looked at the girl "your joking right?"
"Look, word around school says that you used to be a cheerleader when you were younger, so I thought maybe you would be a great candidate,"
"Yeah my cheering days are over," said Amybeth as she sighed before handing the girl the flyer back as she went back to her homework "but thanks,"
"I'm Annika, Annika sunshine," said the girl as she looked at Amybeth before turning around, she sighed before turning to Amybeth again
"If you ever change your mind, try outs are this Wednesday after school,"
"Amy you have to go to try outs," said Kelly as she was sitting with Amybeth at lunch mimicking her nickname, "it could make you the most popular freshman in the whole school,"
"Kel I don't know," said Amybeth as she sat her sandwich down "besides it's been 10 years since I've done cheer what are the odds if I don't make it,"
Kelly shrugged her shoulders before continuing her lunch, at that cue Brenda and Donna came up.
"Hey Amybeth you remember Brenda don't you?" Smiled Kelly as she pointed at Brenda, Brenda smiled and looked at the girl as she waved
"No I don't think so, Brandon's sister right?"
"Twin actually," smiled Brenda as she chuckled "Brenda Walsh,"
"Amybeth McKay,"
The two girls shook hands
"Now that you two met, I was thinking, us girls can go shopping after school," said Kelly "does Fred Segal sound good?"
"Great I'm in," said Amybeth as she smiled before picking her back pack up "now if you'll excuse me I have to go to study hall,"
"Ok have fun," said Donna
"Yeah like study hall is fun,"
The girls laughed before saying there goodbyes,
Amybeth walked into study hall, as she sat down, Annika sunshine walked in, she spotted Amybeth and smiled as she sat down in a desk beside her.
"I didn't know you're in study hall," said Annika as she pulled out her books to start her homework
"Yeah... I thought I would get some homework done as I'm going to the mall with Kelly, Donna, and this new girl Brenda," said Amybeth as she looked down at her textbook as she started writing in her flimsy notebook.
"Wait... your friends with Kelly Taylor?" Asked Annika as she looked at Amybeth, Amybeth looked at Annika before nodding
"Yeah, apparently my brother knows her so she decided to take me under her wings,"
"Wow, it must be nice to be friends with sophomores," gushed Annika as she placed her chin on her fist that laid on her desk "imagine,"
"Annika, just because I'm friends with Kelly Taylor and her group doesn't mean I'm popular,"
Annika snickered before opening her textbook as she looked down
"Yeah but your more popular then that silver kid,"
Amybeth scoffed as she looked up from her homework before looking at Annika who was writing away on her notebook
"Wait... are you talking about David silver?" Asked Amybeth, Annika looked up before smiling
David silver who was on the other side of the classroom heard his name, he looked at the two girls before listening
"Wait... your friends with that loser? Come on,"
"Annika, I thought you were nice," said Amybeth before standing up from her desk, Annika placed her hands up defending herself
"I was only stating facts Ab," said Annika "and I am nice I was just wondering why your friends with him,"
"Well I just am ok!" As she said that the bell ring signaling that study hall was dismissed
"Thanks for defending me back there," said David as he caught up with Amybeth, Amybeth looked at David before looking forward
"No problem,"
It was a awkward silence before David spoke up
"Are you trying out for the cheer team?" Asked David "I think you'll be a good fit for the team,"
Amybeth stopped before standing in front of David
"You really think so?"
"Yeah," shrugged David as he smiled "you got the looks for it, and I heard that you used to be a cheerleader back in the day,"
Amybeth chuckled Before looking at David
"Yeah I would but I'm probably scratchy," said Amybeth "I haven't cheered since I was 5 years old,"
"Yeah but you were on your middle school cheerleading team were you?"
Amybeth sighed before looking down
"I actually didn't make the cuts," said Amybeth as she brushed a hair strand behind her ear "what if I don't make it this time?"
David smiled
"Then... it wasn't meant to be, but you'll never know unless you try,"
As David finished Amybeth smiled before placing a kiss on David's cheek
"What was that for?" Asked David as he smiled but was confused
"I was thanking you for helping me make up my mind," said Amybeth as she walked away
"what did I do?!" Shouted David as he tried to get Amybeth's attention
"I'm trying out for cheer!" Said Amybeth as she turned around to face David before turning back around to see where she was going.
It was the next day after school and Amybeth showed up to cheer practice, she saw Annika as she walked up to her.
"Hey Ab! What you doing here?" Asked Annika as she was stretching
"I decided to try out for cheer."
Hopefully that was good and I updated the cover of this story because the other looked plain but I added a new side character! Annika she will be in majority of the story but not all of it
