Okay, so what just happened last time was that Riley and Lucas saw each other in the library. They started talking, much to Riley's dismay, but she couldn't help it. Now, Lucas just asked her why she dumped him.

"W-what?" Riley stuttered. She never thought he would ask that question in a million years.

"Why'd you dump me?" Lucas repeated. He deserved an answer, because she sent him his promise ring back almost right when he was going to ask her to Snowflake Hills's Winter Formal.

"What the hell do you mean, 'Why did I dump you?' " Riley hissed. "You know exactly what you were doing, Mr. Damn Friar."

"Riley, if I knew what I did, I wouldn't be asking you what I did, would I?"

Riley blinked a few times. Lucas kind of had a point.

"You cheated on me!" Riley screeched out after a couple moments of silence.

Lucas's eyebrows furrowed. "I did? When?"

"At that new club, you know, the one for teens. Dance Fusion," Riley sniffled. She was so close to tears now.

Lucas stood up and sat by the window near Riley.

"Hey Riley, you don't understand. That was my cousin, Sophia. She was spending the weekend with us, and my mom told me to take her out somewhere," Lucas explained.

"Are you serious? Well, still. You are dating Missy, right? You liked her?" Riley asked, trying hard not to laugh at her mistake. All this time she thought he had cheated, but it was just a misunderstanding.

Lucas sighed. He couldn't very well tell Riley that he was only dating Missy for Missy's own benefit.

"Um, you're dating Charlie Gardner," Lucas pointed out jealously, changing the subject.

"Not really," Riley said absentmindedly, closing her book. "We haven't even kissed."

Of course, Lucas was ecstatic to hear that news. He never liked Charlie Gardner. Once a creepy creep creep, always a creepy creep creep.

"Well, you've been busy, I guess," Riley said.

"Yeah..." Lucas trailed off getting lost in Riley's chocolate brown eyes.

"Lucas, we-"

"Wait..." Lucas brushed a strand of the brunette's hair away from her face. As their eyes locked, their faces came closer and closer together.

"LUCAS!" A shrill voice called. "I know you're in here!" It was Missy. She was looking for her next prey, but what she found was Lucas and Riley forehead to forehead. Missy frowned. She was not going to have it like this.

"Lucas, I'm here!"

Riley and Lucas jumped apart at the high-noted voice.

"Lucas, baby, I'm here!" Missy skipped over to Lucas and forced her lips on his and made out. Missy sneered at Riley and sat on Lucas's lap, with her front side facing Lucas and her legs spread out wide. "What are you doing with this filthy, beastly, thing?" Missy said breathily, while fluttering her eyelashes.

"Do you have sand in your eye?" Riley smirked. She wasn't particularly happy to see Missy, but she could make fun out of it.

"No, you silly!" Missy laughed, like she was in on the joke, but if looks could kill, Riley would've been long gone.

Lucas was uncomfortable. His ex and his current girlfriend were right next to each other. He mouthed to Riley, 'I'm sorry.'

"Okay, um, I have to go," Riley stood up quickly. She gave a tight-lipped smile to Missy. "See ya at practice, Missy."

"See you at practice...Captain," Missy sneered disgustedly.

"I'll see you later, Riley?" Lucas asked hopefully. Riley just glanced at him, shrugged slightly and headed out of the library.

"Okay, 5,6,7,8! One, two and three, four. Five, six, seven, eight!" Riley yelled. She had choreographed a new dance and was currently trying to teach the dance to the rest of the team.

"Darby, can you go get the team outfits we picked out for the competition out of the auditorium?" Riley asked Darby, the assistant Captain, in a whisper.

"Sure," Darby ran off to the auditorium.

"Okay! Take 5!" Riley shouted to the rest of the team. She wiped off the beads of sweat from her forehead. Riley jogged up to Maya.

"Hey. Great job, today!" She exclaimed, hugging her best friend.

"You too, Riles," Maya laughed. "You're a really good captain!"

Missy was gossiping about Riley, in a corner, usually just talking to herself, but getting anyone else she could to listen.

"And they were almost, like, kissing! Poor Lucas, Riley, like, probably forced him to kiss her. Just like she'll force him to have sex with him," Missy bellowed out.

"Yeah, she is totally a slut!" Amanda agreed. "Like, I'm surprised she didn't sleep with the whole football team!"

"Or any of the girls!" Missy shrieked. Amanda cracked up hysterically.

Riley rolled her eyes. Missy and Amanda were so immature. But instead of speaking up for herself, Riley bit her tongue. She wasn't going to be like that. It could get really messy, really fast.

"Here, Riley!" Darby held out the box of cheerleading outfits for Riley to take.

Riley smiled. "Thank you, Darby." Then, she turned to the rest of the squad. "Who wants to see the cheerleading outfits?" She yelled.

She was almost ran over by the stampede of cheerleaders.

"I want to see, I want to see!" Lydia, one of Riley's friends, exclaimed.

"Me too!" Grace piped up. She opened the box. "Oh, these are so cute!" Grace gushed.

The cheerleading uniforms were a white, long-sleeved mini dress, with a blue, sparkled skirt. There was a blue and white polar bear embroidered in the top left of their dresses. Under the polar bear, there was a name carefully embroidered in blue thread. On the back was Snowflake Hills High at the bottom, by the skirt. There were 36 pom-poms, which were for the 18 cheerleaders. The Pom-proms were stringed with blue, white and silver streamers.

"Humph," Missy huffed. "If I were Captain, then I would've chosen much cuter uniforms."

"She would have," Amanda agreed while she cracked her gum.

"Well, you're not captain, are you?" Maya asked, coming to the rescue. Missy had nominated herself for Captain (The people who get nominated can't vote), and lost by 15 votes-which means that only Amanda voted for her.

"Bitch!" Missy crossed her arms and stalked away.

Sydney, another cheerleader, rolled her eyes. "When is she ever going to get over it?" Sydney Falls was the kind of friend that would always speak what was on her mind before thinking through it. She could be very...eccentric at times, but she'd always be there for you. Sydney is Lily's Maya and they're best friends.

"Who knows?" Lily asked, shrugging her shoulders. Lily Krets was your very creative, imaginative, very active friend. She tried everything, from musicals, to hockey, and she even tried to start her own business once. She was sweet and at times, a little sensitive. Lily was Sydney's Riley.

"Sleepover at my house!" Elizabeth suddenly yelled. There were murmurs and exclamations of agreement. "Next Friday. Mom and Dad will be away on a business retreat."

"Of course!" Riley smiled at Elizabeth. She was another assistant Captain. "What time should we meet you there?"

"5:30. Then, we can ride the limo to the spa," Elizabeth examined her nails. "I could use a touch-up."

Elizabeth Fralin was rich. Not just a little mansion, rich. She was filthy rich. Her mother is one of the presidents of the largest companies in the Americas. But Elizabeth was a very down-to-earth kind of girl. She never used money to get her way, and is going to get a summer job in the summer. But Elizabeth was a party girl, and couldn't resist having a party at least 3 times a month. Her older sister died from a hit by a drunk driver, so she never drank. Elizabeth always had the security guards check to make sure nobody brought alcohol to spike the drinks.

"Cool," Maya raised an eyebrow. "Just us girls, right?"

"Right!" Elizabeth grinned. "You really think boys would behave at the spa?''

"What about us?" Scott grinned mischievously. He was one of the only two boys who were on the squad. He was not gay, thank you very much, and he is very adamant about that.

Elizabeth stuck her tongue out at him, but smiled good-naturedly nonetheless. "Still no, sorry."

Red pretended to pout, "Aw man. I so totally did want to freshen up my nails and then talk about Lucas Friar." Red was gay, or at least he "swung both ways" as he liked to call it.

While the squad laughed, Riley just twisted her hands around awkwardly.

Riley clapped her hands loudly. "Alright!" She waited for the response.

"Okay," the squad chorused.

"Break is up!" Riley shouted. "Everyone into spots for the beginning of Sorry Not Sorry!"

"Riley the slut!" Missy whispered inside Riley's ear as she passed.

"Aw, don't listen to her, Honey," Maya put her hands on her hips.

Riley just sighed and shook her head.

See, Riley thought. This is why I can never be seen with Lucas Friar again.

And that is the end of chapter 3. So, you met a couple more characters. I'll tell you all of the cheerleaders' names, because they will probably be secondary characters. Samantha Olsen, Raini Meyers, Sydney Falls, Lily Krets, Amanda O'Brien, Elizabeth Fralin, Maya Hart, Missy Bradford, Grace Stevenson, Lydia Will, Redsworth "Red" Mahoney, Marissa Blue, Darby Walker, Alexa Maxwell, Julia McCarth, Scott Wells, Amya Masek and their captain: Riley Matthews. They are all based off of people I know, personality and name wise.
