I Can Do Better (Reggie's POV)
"Please? Please, please, please?" Clio begged bending down on her knees in front of me.
"No! Now stop asking me." I laughed walking away from her.
"Reggie come on! I'm new, I don't know anyone and I don't want to do this alone. I just want you to try out with me." She pleaded following me into the other room.
"What's going on?" Otto asked, turning off the TV.
"Hey!" Twister protested.
"Maurice!" Clio exclaimed. When she spotted her cousin she ran happily to him. "Maybe you can talk your girlfriend into helping me?" She tried, giving him her best puppy dog face.
"Even I can't get Reggie to do anything she doesn't want to do." He sighed, making Clio pout. "What do you want?" He was curious enough to ask.
"Convince your girlfriend to try out with me," She told him, smiling innocently.
"Try out for what?" He asked confused as always.
"For cheerleading." I moaned finally speaking up.
"Wait a second. You want Reggie to try out for cheerleading? As in pompoms and school spirit? As if!" Otto laughed at the idea.
"What's so funny?" I asked crossing my arms.
"The thought of you trying out for cheer." He snorted.
"I'm one of the best female athletes Ocean Shores has." I pointed out. Something he and everyone in town knew to be true.
"Yeah and everyone knows cheerleaders are just hotties in skirts. And you baby are hot." Twister winked at me trying to help.
"Hey! They're athletes too!" Clio defended slapping his arm. She wasn't amused by her cousin at all.
"You're sweet Twist and I love you, but you're so not helping me." I whined.
"Then why don't you prove it and try out Reggie?" Otto challenged.
"What exactly do I have to prove?"
"That you could be a cheerleader because you're 'one of the best female athletes Ocean Shores has.'" He mocked me.
"Fine. I will!" I shot back.
"Yes!" Clio screamed with glee hugging me tightly.
"Sweet! My girlfriends going to be a cheerleader!" Twister grinned happily.
What had I just agreed to?
Break Up and Make Up (Reggie's POV)
"I don't like the way he looks at you." Trent told me glaring up at Twister. Our friends were all up at the pier having a good time while we snuck away for a quiet walk on the beach, which turned into anything but.
"I don't like the way you look at him." I shot back. "We're just friends."
"Maybe to you, but to him it's something more. I don't want you hanging around him anymore." Trent told me, no ordered me. We had been going out for a month now and he still tried to keep me from spending time with Twister. I thought after some time he'd realize we were just friends and things would get better but if anything they only got worse. He became more possessive and extremely jealous of Twister. It was almost like he knew. But that was impossible because I never admitted to anyone that I had feelings for Twist. Half the time I can't even admit it to myself.
"He's one of my best friends. I'm not going to stop hanging out with him because you're jealous." I felt as if those were the only words coming out my mouth these days.
"You will or we're through." He crossed his arms, giving me an ultimatum.
"Whatever." I was beyond frustrated and walked away from him.
"What?" He demanded.
"We're through." I replied walking further down the beach to reach the boardwalk.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?" He hollered after me.
"To hang out with my friends. I'm not wasting another minute of my time with you." I sneered. He chased me, tugging on my arm to get me back.
"I thought I told you you weren't going to be hanging around him anymore." He growled.
"Yeah and I thought I made it clear I chose option number two. We. Are. Through." I shoved him off of me.
"No we aren't. You will be my girlfriend until I'm finished with you." His gripped tightened when he regained my arm.
"Let go of me." I attempted to pull him off but he wasn't having it.
"Not until you calm down." He replied pulling me to his chest and locking my arms together.
"Trent, you're hurting me!" I yelled trying to break free.
"Shut up. You know I only dated you because you're popular and the guys thought you'd be easy." He admitted meanly. I looked around the beach hoping someone would walk by.
"Trent, let me go!" I screamed again shoving him off me. I managed to break free and started running down the beach away from him. I hadn't gotten far before he caught up again and tackled me to the floor.
"You stupid bitch!" He spat pinning me down to the sand.
"Help! Somebody help me!" I shouted as loud as I could.
"Damn it Reggie!" Trent growled, slapping me across the face. He stood up pulling me with him. He put one hand over my mouth and dragged me under the pier for coverage.
"Reg, you out here?" I heard Otto ask coming down from the pier. Yes! Otto's here. Please find me, please! I thought to myself.
"I'm telling you bro I could have sworn I heard her scream." Another voice spoke, this time Twisters.
"Dude, nobody's here." Otto replied unconvinced. "Let's get out of here, Trish is probably wondering where I am." No, they can't leave! I bit down on Trent's hand making him scream out in agony.
"I'm over here! Help me!" I shouted just as Trent knocked me to the ground.
"Man I told you!" Twist sounded upset. I heard both of their feet's pounding down in the sand before finally being able to see them by the shoreline.
"Trent, bro, was that you screaming like a girl?" Otto grinned. He stopped laughing when he saw us. "What's going on?" Otto demanded stepping closer towards us.
"Nothing man, just a little disagreement." Trent faked a smile releasing me just enough so that he could grip his arm around my neck.
"Get off of me!" I shouted struggling to get away.
"Dude, let her go." Twister stepped in yanking Trent's hand off of mine.
"Back of dude, this is between me and Reggie." He shot back.
"Not when you put your hand on her like that it's not." Twister defended me putting himself in the middle of Trent and me.
"Man whatever." I knew he saw both Twister and Otto's hands clench into fists, knowing he'd lose this battle he walked away. Before disappearing he looked back at me saying, "Consider yourself dumped Reggie. I got thousands of girls waiting to take your place and I'm tired of slacking with you."
Then before anyone saw it coming Twister pulled his arm back and slugged Trent in the face making him fall to the ground.
"Nobody disrespects Rocket Girl like that and gets away with it." He spat. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up to the boardwalk to a nearby bench.
"Should we have left him there still able to walk?" Otto asked once we were up surrounded by people. Strangers, but witnesses just the same.
I shook my head. "Leave him be he isn't worth it."
"Yeah but you are. He didn't try forcing himself on you or something like that did he?" Twister swallowed, afraid of what the answer might be.
"No. We were fighting about what we always fight about." I sighed.
"What's that?" Otto asked although the glance he gave Twister told me he already knew.
"You." I said while looking straight at Twist.
"I'll uh, leave you guys alone to talk." Otto replied awkwardly. I think deep down he knew my secret therefore aware this day was bound to happen eventually.
"Why were you guys fighting about me?" He asked confused.
"Trent had this crazy idea that you like me." I shrugged letting out a small laugh.
"Oh." He replied blushing red dropping his head to try and hide it from me.
"You don't, right? I mean we're just friends?" I've said that so many times now that even I'm doubtful.
"Well you don't right?" He turned the question on me.
"I asked you first." My heart was beating so fast I was afraid he's notice. But then he'd have to be staring at my chest to see and he wouldn't do that.
"Well I asked you second and first is the worst and second is the best so you go first." He replied making no sense.
"Huh? I feel like we're in first grade all over again." I groaned.
"You're confusing me. If you were in first grade I'd be in kindergarten. What does that have to do with anything?" He asked scratching his head.
"We're acting like children! On the count of three we'll both just shot out our answer okay?" I suggested.
"Okay." He agreed. We both took a deep breath .
"One." He counted.
"Two." I continued.
"Three." We both said.
"I like you." I admitted at the same time Twister said "You drive me crazy!"
"What?" We spoke at the same time.
"Did you just say you like me?" Twister asked in disbelief.
"I drive you crazy!" I shot up from the bench. I turned on my feet to leave him so he wouldn't see me cry. I already embarrassed myself in front of him enough for one day.
"Reggie wait!" He chased after me. "I only said that because I love you!" He shouted getting the attention of everyone around us.
"What?" I turned around to ask.
"That wasn't supposed to come out." He replied nervously.
"Twist what's going on?" I questioned.
He grabbed his hair and started pulling it. "Argh!"
"Hey, would you quit that?" I asked picking his hat up off the floor.
"Look, the truth is. Well you see the truth is, the truth is. Well you only drive me crazy because I never know with you! I've liked you since practically the day I met you. Sometimes I think you like me too when I catch you looking at me or you give me that special 'Twist you're an idiot but in a good way' smile. But then you start dating that asshole, I uh mean Trent and you tell everyone that we are just friends and I think, okay we're just friends. I think about you way too much that my brain hurts and-" I cut him off with a kiss.
"-and then you go and do that." He melted.
"Twist, I never told you I liked you because I thought you'd never like me." I informed him.
"That's crazy, you're Rocket Girl! Everyone likes Rocket Girl! Well except Rocket Boy Because that be weird caz he's your brother. And well Sammy because he's in love with Sherry. And-"
"Twist." I interrupted.
"Yeah?" He asked looking up at me. I put on my 'Twist you're an idiot but in a good way' smile.
"Shut up." I grinned before kissing him again.
Bad Boys and Smart Girls (Twister's POV)
"I still think this is a bad idea." Sam whimpered crawling into the vents after us. The girls were staying after school for the third time this week so Otto thought we should follow them and spy on them. The three of us were cramped in the celling vents eavesdropping.
"This is all they do; sit around in a classroom to gossip? Lame!" Otto whispered.
"Well now we know, so we can go." Sam replied crawling backwards to get out.
"So Reggie, how's Twister in bed? I mean you guys go at it like monkeys so he has to be good in the sack." Trish asked.
Sam froze in place. "Oh boy."
"Twist-er!" Otto shouted trying to maneuver so he could ring my neck. For the first time I was thankful for the tight space.
"Ottoman, I haven't touched her I swear! I mean all we do is kiss! And that one time she let me touch her boob." I replied. I realized what I admitted too after a second and flinched, afraid of what he'd do to my face.
"Yeah and what about Otto, Clio? Is he as good of a lover as he is at hockey?" Sherry asked my cousin. My cousin.
"You're sleeping with Clio and you want to yell at me for sleeping with Reggie!" I realized getting angry.
"Ah you admitted it you are screwing around with my sister! I'm going to whomp you so hard when we get out of here!" He hollered back. We started rolling around bumping into each other trying to get leverage on the other.
"Uh guys." Sam stuttered.
"Not now Sammy." Otto complained.
"Really guys I think you should know-"
"Not now!" I interrupted.
"I really think you should listen to him." Reggie's voice echoed through the vents. Both of us stopped what we were doing and tried squirming out. Once our feet hit the ground we turned around and came face to face with the girls.
"We should have known you guys would follow." Clio sighed, her arms crossed over.
"What were you guys thinking?" Reggie asked slapping all three of us on the back of our heads.
"Hey! I didn't do anything!" Sam cringed covering his head.
"You went along with their dumb plan." Sherry pointed out pulling him out of the room to talk to him in private.
"So nobody's sleeping with anyone?" I asked for clarification.
"No. And they won't be for a very long time." Reggie added. Otto turned to look at me, then slugged my arm.
"Hey! What was that for?" I asked rubbing the sore spot.
"I heard what you said in there." He glared before leaving with Trish and Clio, the ever present love triangle.
"Why exactly did you say that?" Reggie asked pinching my other arm.
"Ow! Why does everyone keep hurting me!" I whined.
She rolled her eyes at me but bent her had to kiss my forearm where she pinched it. "Lets go home."
