Chapter Seven
After the run in with the crazy strawberry blonde, Aurelia wanted nothing more then the day to be over so she could go home, but with her luck the day went agonizingly slow. So after her last class she hurriedly made her way to her locker to deposit her stuff and get the hell out of there, she was slipping on her jacket when her friends called out to her.
"Hey." Alexa smiled, "Where are you going?"
"Home." She shut her locker and turned to face them, her purse hanging loosely on her shoulder.
"No your not." Bianca narrowed her eyes, "Cheerleading tryouts are today. Remember?"
Aurelia pursed her lips, "Right."
"Lia," Alexa sighed, "we've been talking about this since Junior High."
"You make it sound as if it was a lifetime ago, when it was just last year."
"Just try out. You might not even make the team." Bianca suggested.
"And if I do?"
"You'll worry about it then."
She bit her lip, she really wanted to go home and not risk a run in with the crazy cat clan, she's been tense all day. But, cheerleading could prove a healthy distraction. "Fine." She said dramatically. Her friends squealed and she playfully rolled her eyes as she let them drag her to the locker room.

Aurelia stood on the football field with Bianca and Alexa stretching, glancing around at the competition when she spotted the blonde from this morning. Clenching her fists, "Hey, I'll be right back. I need to talk to someone." Bianca looked up from her stretching and raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow. "This isn't some trick so I can bail. It will only take a minute."
"Okay but the clock's ticking." Alexa pointed her finger playfully. Aurelia smiled and made her way over to her stalker, who was talking to a tiny brunette.
"What the hell is your problem?" Okay not what she had planed on saying but when she was angry her mouth had no filter. Both girls stopped their conversation and looked at her.
"Trying out for the squad." Answered the brunette.
"Not you. Her." She pointed to the blonde.
"I'm trying to protect you."
"By stalking me?"
"Your in danger!"
"From you."
"We mean you no harm." The blonde stepped forward.
"No you just want me to save you."
When it was obvious the girl wasn't going to say more she shook her head and rejoined her friends.
"Well she was delightful." Amy said when Aurelia was gone.
"She's going through a lot. She'll come around." Amy gave her a look. "She'll come around." She hoped.
