The firsts days of school seemed to pass very fast for Elena, who couldn't get another friend beside Stefan and Abigail yet, although it was not like she was looking for more friends or anything like that. She thought that, some way, she could be typical kind of new girl who earns all the attention with just say "Hi". This was not the case and she wasn't mad neither. A sigh escape from her mouth without permission, getting off her car and walking to the school. In the middle of the way, she noticed that a lot of girls were warming for something. Every single one of them were wearing sports clothes and ponytails.
Elena couldn't understand what was exactly happened until Abigail came around.

"Hi, Elena!" Abigail greeted smiley. In response, she just smiled back. "What's going on there?" Elena said as she pointed the football field, where all the girls were going to. Abigail took a deep breathe and smile weakly. "Cheerio thing" She said and took Elena's arm, guiding her to field. Elena was a little confused but also curious. She remembered what she had seen the first day and how they were having fun and how much did she wanted to be a cheerleader again.

Once in the field, they both stayed there watching all the cheerios went to the middle of the place. Suddenly, the music started to play and a performance was being done. All the cheerleaders were dancing. Say that "Hey Mickey" is not something usual, would be a lie. Elena also danced that song when she was in her other school, but looking at them this time, was completly different. As they were also singing, their moves were sensual, cocky and that kind of stuff, led by an attractive blonde girl.

Elena enjoyed the show, it was really staggering but she started to feel uncomfortable. She had too many mixed feelings about it. But instead of wasting her time, she looked at her friend with curiosity.

"Will you try it this year?" She asked softly, returning her eyes to the field. Abigail kept silence for a while, and then she answer. "Probably not" Said with clearly sadness. "I've been thinking about it, and I don't know why I would try it. Even though I make it perfect, they won't let me join".

Elena frowned as she was just standing there next to Abigail and a bunch of other girls who wanted to watch them in the front line. When they finished the performance, everyone clapped, including these two girls. But then, both of they were being pushed for the crow of excited girls to the middle of the field, leaving them without anything to do but walk.
Elena, still confused with everything, heard someone whistle. The quiteness drown the place and Quinn, Brittany and Santana strided in front of the girl's line.

"I guess all of you want to be part of the cheerio's squad. My squad" Said Quinn, with her hands behind her back. "But maybe none of you will enter... We're going to be hard to please, I hope you know it" A little smile appeared in her lips, stoping her steps and leaving her hands in her hips.

Then, Santana took the word.

"Okay, girls. Is time to stop being to nice and cute, and all that kind of things, because here, is not gonna work. I don't care if you're rich, if you're poor or whatever. If you're ugly or fat, you are not gonna make it. Sorry but not sorry" She shrugged and looked at the girls while she was walking. "First stage" She pointed some random girl. "You're the ugliest girl here. Why are you even here? Get out" And that was how she started to remove girls. Brittany just nodded and Quinn was looking at the girls, when her eyes stopped in Elena's.

She looked at her with a serious look, and then, she realized she was with Abigail. Quinn just laugh quietly and Brittany pointed at Elena's friend. "She's here again, S".

"Look who's here again. It wasn't enough humilliation the last year? Or the last before that? Are you really that pathethic, skinny legs?"

"I'm not here for that. But, you know what? I'm so much better than you... than all you and that makes you scared." Her eyes looked challenging, and Santana's eyes were just getting worse.

"Scared? Are you freaking kidding me? Let me show how scared of you I am" Before Elena could even realized, Abigail was so closed to the Latin girl that you could say that in anytime they could just hit each other. The only thing that kept them in their places, was Brittany on Santana's side and Elena on Abigail's side.

"Abbie, stop. You will not earn nothing acting like this" Elena yelled at her, trying to calm her down.

"Get off of me, Britt! She has to know that you just don't mess with me. I'm on all the Lima Heights!"

In this hole mess, the cheerio's captain appeared, walking with her hands in her hips. "Everyone shut up!" And there was quiet. "There will be never a spot for you here" Quinn said to Abigail as she said goodbye moving her fingers.

Elena looked at Quinn a while. Why was she like that? Is not she a captain? "Let's go, Abigail. This is not worth it" She took Abigail's arm and tried to get out of there as soon as possible. Quinn saw how she was walking away. "Who the hell is she anyway?" The blonde girl asked to everyone. Nobody answer but Santana. "I don't even know and I don't care. But she's on my list too".

Once out of the field, Elena looked behind, above her shoulder, just staring. "Elena, be careful!" She did not get it until she crashed with a body who was standing in front of her.

"Stefan..." She said softly, after she could look at him. "Hi, Elena..." And they both smiled to each other.
