Kitty threw her arms above her head, finishing her cheer stance at the top of the pyramid. She froze in place, awaiting Sue's approval.

"Well, that was mediocre as always. You think this is hard? Try watching a group of teenagers crush your hopes and dreams! THAT'S HARD! You're all dismissed. Get out of my sight." Coach Sue always seemed to enjoy going out of her way to disappoint and discourage her cheerios, despite them always winning their National cheering competitions.

Kitty hopped down from the pyramid, and stretched quickly before heading to the locker rooms. She collected her belongings, and entered one of the shower stalls. Why does Coach always have to be on our case. I've been a decent head cheerio all year. But, after what I did to Marley, I don't know that I deserve any better...thought Kitty.

"I need a hero!"

Both Kitty and Marley finished simultaneously. Kitty glanced over to Marley, who was beaming in her direction. Kitty couldn't help but notice how beautiful Marley looked, even in an oddly colored superhero costume. Marley ran to her, giving her a bone-crushing hug. "We were fantastic!" she yelled excitedly. Kitty could only nod and smile in return, reveling in the bodily contact with Marley. The Glee club cheered and clapped in approval, giving them both impressed looks. They were both excused to go to the ladies room and change, so Marley grabbed Kitty's hand and led her into the bathrooms. As Kitty headed towards a stall, she heard the door lock being turned by the only other girl in the bathroom besides her. She smirked, and leaned against the sink, turning to face Marley. Marley bit her lip innocently, but eventually managed a seductive smirk. Kitty's heart did a somersault, and made her head swim. She flicked her pointer finger, indicating her desire for Marley to come to her. Marley wasted no time getting to Kitty; she ran to her, crashing her lips roughly against Kitty's. The fought for dominance was quickly won by Kitty, who managed to pin Marley to the ground next to the sinks. "Oh, Femme Fatale" Marley moaned in a damsel-in-distress voice. Kitty grinned, and began nipping at Marley's jawline, slowly making her way to Marley's neck. She made sure to leave a sizable hickey before she continued. When she felt Marley writhe beneath her, she set out on a quest to free her maiden from her cloth bonds. She managed to find the zipper, and pulled it slowly down Marley's back. Just as she began to strip the superhero costume from Marley's body, Marley grabbed Kitty's shoulders and flipped their positions. Kitty began to protest, but was silenced by a finger to her lips. Marley quickly shed her outfit, and began to slide Kitty's tights off as well. As soon as the offending fabrics were disposed of, Marley roughly ground her hips into Kitty's. They both elicited husky moans, encouraging them to continue. Marley grew impatient with their pace, and roughly shoved one leg between Kitty's. Kitty began to grind her leg in approval, moaning and whining with the slight relief. "Touch me, M-M-Marley" Kitty managed to stutter. Marley smirked, and once again captured Kitty's lips. She ran her hands up Kitty's sides, eventually reaching her breasts. The perked buds were prominent against the thin fabric, and Marley eagerly grabbed both, receiving another moan of approval.

Kitty glanced at the clock by the showers. Damn. Almost time for third block. Kitty sadly turned off the lukewarm water, and grabbed a towel on her way to her locker. Kitty was always the last cheerio in the locker room, as she frequently got carried away with her daydreams. She began dressing in her cheerios outfit, briefly glancing at her forearms. There were numerous scabs covering both, so she decided to continue wearing her black long-sleeve shirt under her cheerios uniform. It's not cold out, but Coach never pays any attention to our clothes as long as she sees the top and skirt. She finished tying her white sneakers, and grabbed her duffle bag from the bench. She turned to head out the door, but roughly collided with another girl, sending them both crashing down to the tiled bathroom floor.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" yelled Kitty in irritation. She glanced angrily towards the girl she knocked over; Marley was already getting back up. "Oh...it's you. I'm sorry, M-Marley I didn't see you there" the words flew out of Kitty's mouth. She still hadn't spoken to Marley since she had seen her at the hospital, and she knew what would be at the forefront of Marley's mind after her little performance.

"It's fine, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to sneak up on you! I actually came in here to find you, Kitty." Marley brushed herself off, and reached for Kitty's arms. But Kitty rolled away from Marley, and scrambled awkwardly to her feet. Marley raised an inquisitive eyebrow at her, but held her hands up in mock defeat.

"Well, it-it will h-h-have to wait until later. I'm busy. Third block is about to start...I don't want to be late" Kitty quickly pieced together.

"You and I have the same third block, Kitty. It's study hall. And we aren't required to go. And I don't remember the last time I even saw you there. We need to talk, Kitty." Marley stated, intentionally blocking Kitty's path. Kitty groaned, and threw her bag back to the ground in frustration.

"Fine. Say what you have to say, Rose." Kitty sighed in defeat.

"Well, I wanted to start by thanking you for paying for everything at the hospital. You really didn't need to do that..." Marley began.

"Thank me? Stop being so nice to me, Marley. I don't deserve it. Everything that happened was my fault; the least I could do was pay to repair a small part of the damage.." Kitty replied, frowning.

Marley frowned and tilted her head to the side, causing some of her bangs to fall loose. Kitty instinctively reached forward to brush them back, causing Marley to roughly grab her forearm. Kitty yelped loudly, ripping her arm out of Marley's grip.

"Kitty! I'm so sorry! I thought you were going to hit me! I didn't hurt you, did I? Here, let me see" Marley quickly tried to recover the situation. Kitty dodged Marley, stepping out of her reach.

"Kitty..that's what I wanted to talk to you about. What you were doing in my hospital room..that was on purpose, wasn't it." Marley stated, more than asked. Kitty chewed on her lip nervously, and moved to grab her duffle bag. "Please don't leave.." begged Marley. Kitty sighed, but made no movement suggesting that she was about to speak about what happened.

"Tell you what. Why don't you come over to my house for a sleep over? We can watch some movies and relax. If you feel like talking, I'll be there for you. If not, we can just watch the movies and go to sleep. Will you at least consider it?" Marley glanced hopefully at Kitty. Kitty locked eyes with Marley, nodded in response, and quickly scribbled her number on a piece of paper from her notebook. She shoved it into Marley's grip, and made a hasty exit from the locker rooms. Marley glanced down at the paper, and added the contact to her phone.

"Hey, it's me :)" - Marley

Her phone buzzed quickly in response.

"Friday night, 7:00?" - Kitty

Well, kids! Another chapter into this bad boy and I still have no idea where it's going. I'm trying to humanize Kitty a little bit, so hopefully that's working. Any ideas, review or PM me!

Thank y'all again for the encouraging reviews after the post of the second chapter! I'm glad to know that some people are enjoying the story as much as I'm enjoying writing it!
