"Okay Star are you excited for your first day of school." Stefan asked with a big smile.
Star and Chase sat in the backseat, while Margo sat in the passenger seat. Star looked up at Stefan and smiled.
"Yeah I can't wait for the flood of questions on where I'm from and I'm sure I'll be extremely popular with my award winning personality, I'll be the most popular kid there." Star said sarcastically.
Chase looked at her and smiled. "Don't worry Star I got your back you can hang out with me and my friends."
Star wanted to smile at the gesture, but decided to go with a snarkier approach.
"Great I'll sit with you and your football buddies who probably smell like alcohol and urine." Star said crossing her arms.
"Their not like that, I promise. And if you want to have girl talk-"
"Let me stop you there blondy, I don't do girl talk." Star said.
Chase chuckled. "As I was saying before you rudely interrupted me."
"I did not rudely interrupt you-"
"You're doing it right now." Chase said.
Star punched him in the arm. "No I'm not."
He groaned and rolled his eyes. He was trying to be nice but often times Star was extremely rude.
"My girlfriend is real nice maybe you guys can be friends." He suggested.
Star laughed. She knew his type. Girls with beach blonde hair, who was too dumb to object but still smart enough to challenge.
"I can't wait to meet Becky, I'm sure we'll bond over fashion and our love for One Direction." She said.
"How did you know she was named Becky?" He asked.
"They're always named Becky." Star said rolling her eyes.
Margo was listening to their conversation and turned to face them.
"You're better off not talking to Becky." Margo said.
Chase rolled his eyes. He heard the rumours about his girlfriend, and he didn't appreciate them.
"Here we go again." He said agitated.
Star smirked. "Do I detect some drama? Please tell me it's juicy."
"Becky aka Queen Crescent is manipulative and a bully. Imagine every cliche mean girl from movies and multiply that by six thousand." Margo said.
Chase started to get defensive. "That is not true, you are all wrong about her. She's real sweet-"
"To you, because she wants to marry you." Margo said.
Star smirked. "He's probably the best she can do, homegirl needs to raise her standards."
Chase frowned. "If I wanted to date a bitch, I'd just date you."
Stefan heard this and stopped the car. He turned angrily to his son. "Take that back and apologize to her Chase! That was an extremely rude thing to say."
"Is fine Mr. Peters. Besides when I want to date a dumb, tacky, wannabe hipster, steroid taking, excessive body odor moron, I'll happily date your son." She said.
Margo laughed while Chase frowned. He crossed his arms and looked out the window. Star rolled her eyes.
"Boys are so sensitive." She mumbled.
"Fight, fight Star Birds fight, come on take on flight." Nadia cheered.
She and the rest of the cheerleaders were practicing cheerleading. As usual Nadia was killing her performance. Becky noticed this and smiled.
"Good job Lopez." She said.
Nadia smiled. Many of the girls looked over with envy. Not only was Nadia extremely talented, but also was drop dead gorgeous. She was Latina, with dark brown eyes, light brown skin, and light brown hair that was streaked with pink.
Becky stopped practice when she saw Chase's car pull up. She smiled brightly she turned to her cheerleaders. "Okay losers go wash off the stench of disappointment off you."
The other cheerleaders took off in a sprint, eager to be done with her awful practice. Naturally Nadia hung behind. Nadia wasn't sure if the relationship Becky and her had could be considered a friendship. They hung out for appearances, they only talked about cheer and fashion. It's not like they exchanged dark secrets or anything.
"Hey chica!" Becky said with a forced Spanish accent.
Nadia grimaced. She hated when white people used Spanglish and thought they were clever. She never got the memo were it was okay to assume an entire race acted like a stereotype.
"Hey Becky." Nadia smiled.
She walked up to Becky who saw Chase's car pull up. Becky smiled, an actual smile, not one of those painted ones that Nadia had been practicing for years. Whenever she thought Becky was heartless all she had to do was look in her eyes when she saw Chase.
"His new foster sister is coming, so you think she'll like me?" Becky asked.
Nadia pictured a gritty street girl, she had a hard time thinking she would like someone like Becky.
Highly unlikely. Nadia thought to herself. She decided to flip her hair and shrug. It was cheer talk for 'how am I supposed to know'. Becky shot her look that said 'why do I keep you around.'
The door opened and Chase stepped out first. Nadia often envied Becky. Chase was hot and every girl at school wanted him, personally she thought he was predictable and a bit of a dumb blond, but hot is hot. Chase turned and gave someone one of his classic, award winning smiles. Stepping out was a pretty girl who was giving him the middle finger. She was African American, with a curly black hair, and dark brown eyes. Her skin was the color of milk chocolate, and she wore a black tanktop and jeans with holes in them.
"She's hot." Becky said surprised and slightly upset. "He didn't tell me she was hot."
Nadia looked at her, she was hot. She often checked girls out to analyze her competion. She was the second prettiest girl in school, she would've been first but the entire town knew that if Becky was anything under than number one she would blow the entire state of Florida off the map.
"Does it matter?" Nadia asked.
Becky turned to her and exploded. "Yes it matters that a hot girl is sleeping in the same house as MY boyfriend."
Soon Chase was upon, and the mystery girl was right now to him. She was currently staring the other girls down.
"Hi I'm Rebecca nice to meet you." Becky smiled formally.
Since when does she go by Rebecca? Nadia thought.
Nadia smirked when she got a thought. Becky was intimated.
"Nice to meet you Becky." Star smirked.
She made sure to put emphasis on the Y. Chase and Nadia watched as the two girls stared each other down. Chase decided to step in.
"Hey babe." Chase smiled.
He leaned and kissed Becky. Like really kissed, almost as if he was trying to prove something. Nadia and Star looked at each other awkwardly as the two made out.
"I have condoms if you two need them." Star said.
Nadia laughed. Chase pulled away so he could chuckle and look at Star, which Becky seemed upset about.
"I have to go gym." He said.
He turned to Star and gave her one of his infectious smiles. "Becky will show you around, you have my number if you need me."
Becky cleared her throat, and Chase corrected himself.
"If you need me for anything school related. Don't worry I...I mean we are here for you." He said awkwardly as Becky nodded, giving her approval of his statement.
Nadia rolled her eyes. Star crossed her arms and looked at Becky. She didn't like how she pushed Chase around. Not like she cared about him or anything, but wrong is wrong.
"Don't worry Chase I won't need you." Star said.
He nodded weakly and turned and walked away. Becky turned and looked at Nadia.
"Nadia show her around." Becky said.
Nadia gritted her teeth, she hated when Becky bossed her around. She may own the school, but she didn't own Nadia.
"Your boyfriend asked you to do it." Nadia said.
Becky rolled her eyes. "I have better things to be doing than showing someone like her around."
"Someone like me? What the hell is that supposed to mean you bimbo." Star glared.
"Come down Afro-Punk, I just don't like because you're a loser." Becky said.
Becky turned to Nadia. "Come on chica, if I have some time by myself I can choreograph a routine, which means we can win Nationals, which will look good on your college resume, which will help you get out of the Garden."
Nadia sighed. Star wasn't sure what the Garden was, but she knew Nadia was afraid of it, and simply mentioning it could make her bend to Becky's will.
Nadia began to walk. "Come on Star." She called out.
Star began to follow Nadia, but not before giving Becky the middle finger.
"I'm happy that both of you boys could meet me today." Coach Morris said as he looked at Chase and Zack.
Both boys watched coach intently. Chase tried not to seem intimidated by the upperclassmen. He had been on the football team for years and had been the star quarterback. He was six feet, had brown hair, brown eyes, freckles, and an athletic build. He wore a Red polo over a white t shirt, tan dress pants, black dress shoes, black dress belt, and a gold watch.
"No problem coach, what's this meeting about?" Zack asked.
Coach smiled bitterly. "As you both know our quarterback has changed schools." He said.
Both boys nodded. They already knew what was coming, one if them was going to be chosen to be quarterback.
"Now you've both been working hard, and I see a lot of potential in both of you, so this week it's the final cut. Whoever grinds the hardest gets the spot." He said.
Both of then nodded. They were each sure they had what it took.
"Thanks Coach, I'll make sure to show you that I have what it takes to be quarterback." Zack smiled.
Chase gritted his teeth and smiled. "And I'll show you that I'm what this team needs."
The coach nodded and dismissed them. I'm their way out Zack grabbed Chase's arm.
"Chase can you do me a favour?" Zack asked.
"Yeah, what is it?" Chase asked.
"Do you mind letting me be Quarterback?" He asked.
Chase was surprised he just asked for it. He thought they would sneakily try to steal the spot from each other like characters on a TV show.
"Listen this my senior year this my last shot to show recruiters I have what it takes." He said.
"And I don't deserve that?" Chase snapped.
"I never said that." Zack said.
Chase rolled his eyes. "You didn't have to. Listen I'm not giving up. So you better bring your A-game."
With that Chase left the room.
Star struggled to stay awake in Calculus. The fact that she was even in Calculus amazed her. She at least thought moving around so much would put her in a couple easy classes. Next to her Nadia was currently on Snapchat, pretending Star didn't exist. It's not Star was bothered by it. She didn't like her in the first place.
"Isn't that right Ms. Lopez." Mr. Dean asked.
Mr. Dean was in his mid thirties, had dark brown hair and a stuble some might call cute. He was glaring at Nadia who didn't even look up at him.
"Care to explain what's so interesting?" Mr. Dean asked.
Nadia rolled her eyes. "I doubt you want to hear what Kylie Jenner posted."
Mr. Dean crossed his arms and glared at her.
"Why don't you come up here and solve this problem." Mr. Dean said.
Nadia groaned and turned her phone off. She walked up to the board and began to solve it. Star was surprised how quickly she was working. What would have taken Star an hour to finish, Nadia finished in two minutes.
Mr. Dean checked her work and nodded. "Everything's correct."
Nadia grinned. "Of course it is."
She went to her seat and went back to her seat. Star was surprised by all of this and looked at Nadia impressed.
"Guess you aren't some dumb cheerleader."
Star observed.
"Guess you're not as annoying as I thought." Nadia said.
The bell rung and Star made her her way to her next class. Nadia was right behind her, however it seemed like she didn't want to be walking with Star. Star could care less, if some cheerleader wanted to spend with her or not, however Nadia did perplex her.
She showed in the classroom that she could be funny and she was incredibly smart, yet she made it seem like she was another bitchy cheerleader.
"Hey Star wait up." Chase called.
She was tempted to keep walking, but since she was living in his house, she supposed she could spare a couple minutes to talk to him.
Fire. Everything is burning. Star looked up to see a huge monster made out of silver energy. Everything around him was exploding.
"You're going to die today girl." It hissed.
Star gasped as she collapsed. Chase ran over to catch her.
"Star what's wrong?" He asked.
She couldn't answer. It felt like someone was pouring acid on her brain.
The monster made her way towards her.
"Run Star!" Nadia yelled.
Star looked at her, she was about to say something when the car in between then exploded. Star screamed as she was thrown back.
"I will destroy everything on this planet!" It hissed.
"Star what's wrong?" Chase said as he held her.
At this point everyone was coming over to watch them. Nadia made sure to act like she didn't know them. Zack couldn't help but watch them.
"Something...something is coming." Star said.
As soon as she uttered those words she passed out.
Sorry it took so Long to update, now that it's summer I'll have more time to write. This chapter is part one of three, and I promise the next chapter will have more action and will lead to the team being formed.
