School went by very fast but it was time. She sat with Draculaura and Clawdeen at lunch. They said to meet them after school by the gym. Frankie was so charged up about Fearleading tryouts, but in the back of her mind a voice was saying "What if I don't make it? What if I don't make it just because Cleo doesn't like me?" Shaking the thoughts away she met up with Draculaura and Clawdeen in front of the gym doors. Draculaura waved excitedly while Clawdeen stood there holding the practice uniform.
"You ready ghoulfriend?" she said hold the uniform out.
"I'm nervous…"
"It's okay Frankie, Cleo is can be very intimidating,"
"Rude"
"Mean"
"Most of all demanding but you'll be fine" said Clawdeen shoving Frankie in to the locker room slamming the door behind her.
"But…" Frankie sighed and changed in to the Fearleading uniform. Fit like a glove she liked it. It made her feel… powerful… pretty even. She felt so confident in the uniform, she felt like a spot on the team was hers. Frankie fixed her make up to look freaky chic. She walked out of the locker room into the gym. Looking around no one else was there. Just Draculaura, Clawdeen, Cleo and Ghoulia standing in the middle of the casketball court with a boom box and some pompoms.
"Where is everyone?" Frankie said looking around confused.
"You're the only one who showed up Ghoul." Clawdeen said slightly disappointed.
"We have one…" Cleo turned around with glee till she saw Frankie. "OH MY RA! NOT YOU!"
"Cleo what is the matter? It's just Frankie." Draculaura asked
"This new girl is the only one who showed up? She's nothing."
Frankie's confidence was shot down by this mean girl. Frankie felt so confident that she would fit in but now. She was called nothing. She was mad. She felt the anger and hatred swelling up inside of her. She wasn't nothing she had friends and a good life. Or did she? No she is something!
"I am something…" she whispered
"What did you say new girl?"
"I AM SOMETHING!" Frankie screamed shocking everyone. "I AM A SOMEBODY! I AM TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING OUTTA BEING HERE AT MONSTER HIGH BUT I'VE GOT BITCHES LIKE YOU STANDING IN MY WAY"
"OH MY RA! WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?" Cleo yelled walking toward Frankie fist clenched. Draculaura and Clawdeen ran and grabbed Cleo before she could swing at Frankie.
"A bitch." Frankie repeated with more attitude
Cleo screamed with anger shattering the windows in the gym. Draculaura and Clawdeen lost their grip on Cleo. Cleo jumped on Frankie swinging at her. Frankie managed to cover her face for a brief moment but Cleo's punches and slaps were so violent that she knocked Frankie's arms off. Hitting Frankie repeatedly punches getting harder and harder. Screaming at Frankie that she didn't understand. Finally she felt Cleo getting off. Opening a swollen eye Frankie seen Deuce holding Cleo tight so she wouldn't get free. Felling her self being lifted she turned her head seeing Manny with a scared and worried look. Then Frankie took a deep breathe her world turning black.
