This is a prequel to both stories in the cheerleader mask. It explains some things, and it also should make sense out of everything.

Misty looked inside and her eyes widened, where her schedule was, in the principal's office, was Sally, she listened, and she was saying, "Are you sure? I think if anyone found out about this, they would laugh at me!" The principal said, "Well, you need advance classes, you're too smart for normal courses." Misty gasped, and heard Hilary and Brenda in there, saying, "This isn't fair! Why should we have to put up with a cheerleader?" They said it like it was poison, and Misty felt hurt, she didn't know what to do, she loved cheerleading, but her friends hated it!

Tears dripped out of her eyes, she knew they could never know about her passion for cheerleading! She turned on her heel and ran off, not bothering with the schedule in the principal's office, she instead headed to the counsler's office. She already had her face ruined from her tears, her mascra was running, and she looked in the mirror, wondering who really was her friend and who wasn't, what should she do? She thought of George and her tears fell harder, remembering how he looked at the cheerleaders distastfully.

Misty fell down against the wall before even making it to the counsler's office, letting her tears fall. Misty didn't know who she was, she didn't even know if she had real friends! Is this how it will be for the rest of her life? Having to choose between one or the other, her friends, her passion, her crush, or her brains? Tears fell like a waterfall at that thought, and she couldn't hold back. Misty made a promise on Pandora's grave, that she will prove that you can be anything you want to be, and not be what they say you are!

After all, if Sally could be smart, have her passion, and be in love, then she could too! And Misty will do it better than Sally ever will!

Meanwhile, with George, he was wondering who Misty was. Misty's name was on cheerleading tryout list, dance team tryout list, and scholastic decathlon list, so George was curious about her, she was way different than anyone else. She obviously had been home-schooled, since she had never heard of cliques. George wanted to talk to her, but when he saw her, she was sitting down, crying harder than anyone he had ever seen, and didn't even look like cheerleader tears, which was fake cry. She really was crying.

Misty looked up, and obviously saw George, but she grabbed her messenger bag without even talking to him, and ran off. George was suprised, he had never had a girl run off from him! This was why he had a major crush on her, she was different than anyone else, she was a complete original, not photocopied off some copier. George looked down and saw a peice of paper. What was it doing there? He picked it up, it had Misty's neat handwriting on it, but looked rushed. George read it, and he never read anything more deep.

He looked off to where she was running, but he didn't know. She had already turned the corner.

A/N: Another cliffhanger, but you know she ends up with him.
