Chapter 2

Kate Baker was sitting in class thinking about what had happened earlier that morning. Alex Shelley couldn't seriously have wanted to talk to her. The last time Alex Shelley had spoken to her, was freshman year. And that conversation had not gone well.

Katherine Baker was excited, the pom squad at her high school was supposed to have some of the most amazing choreography ever. She had gone to their training and such for two weeks and now that school had begun she was excited. The only downside to it was that the uniform was really similar to the cheerleaders' uniforms.

Today was the pep assembly before Homecoming, they gave out the spirit stick, and the pom squad and cheerleaders were supposed to help hype up their grade. She was also a little disappointed in the small dance they got to do. It wasn't nearly as amazing as she was hoping for. The only real reason she had joined poms was because her dad wanted her to join something… And she was hoping to find something dance related. She should have known that her expectations were too high.

After the pep assembly, she headed to her locker to grab her things before going home for an hour or so before the homecoming game. When she turned away from her locker to head for the door she was met with intense brown eyes staring down at her. He was in a football jersey, and she assumed he was on the freshman team, because she had seen him in her gym class. She was pretty sure his name was Alex… He was always goofing off with his friend Chris. "Hey, I'm Alex," He introduced with a warm smile on his face.

"I'm Kate," She stated with a slight smile. She ran her fingers through her black, long hair. It was to about her scapulas. He smiled staring into her green eyes deeply.

"You're cute, I'm hot. And we all know that pom girls are easy. So why don't we hook up tonight after the game back at my place?" He asked. All of her previous thoughts of him being cute and possibly sweet went down the drain at that moment.

"Sorry. I'm busy," She sneered at him before walking past him and out the front door of the school to start her walk home.

Kate shook her head. He had tried one more time that year during a party. She didn't know why he seemed so hell bent on getting into her pants… But it wasn't happening. She continued working on her math work while the teacher blabbered on about how important this would be to the rest of their lives. She smiled in relief when the bell rang. Kate gathered her things and walked out of the classroom. She went to her locker and grabbed her lunch, and then headed for the lunch room. She didn't care if anyone called her a dork, what she brought from home beat out the crappy cafeteria food any day.

Across the lunch room, Alex sat with Chris and they were talking about the game on Friday. "We have this game in the bag. Have you seen them play lately? They suck," Alex stated as Chris nodded in agreement.

"Oh, so you'll actually win a game this season then?" Jason asked as he headed towards his usual table. Alex glared angrily as Jason smirked and headed to his usual spot next to Katherine.

"Did I really try and get into her pants freshman year?" He asked Chris genuinely curious. Chris shrugged and laughed at the frustrated look on Alex's face.

"Dude… I have no idea what she's talking about… But then again, I wasn't around you 24/7 freshman year," Alex nodded in understanding and tried to think back. He kept coming up blank… Especially since she said 'tried,' he wasn't used to getting turned down. Maybe she was imagining the whole thing or something because that's what she wanted.

He looked over again to see her laughing softly at something that Jason had said. He frowned and thought to himself. "Are we," He paused when he noticed Chris looking at him with an incredulous look. "Am I going to have to be all buddy-buddy with him," Alex stated gesturing towards Jason with a roll of his eyes.

"I don't know… But you're the one who claims you can date anyone and anyone would be lucky to date you," Chris stated with a chuckle at his friend's frowning face.

"This is going to be harder than I thought," Alex sighed. He looked up to see that she was standing up and walking towards the door. He glanced at the clock to see that lunch was almost over. "I'll catch up with you after school," He promised before grabbing his things and making his way towards where he noticed her standing. "Hey, small world," He tried with a soft smile.

"Go away," She stated right off the bat without even looking over. She readjusted the straps of her backpack and glanced back to where Jason was and rolled her eyes. He was flirting with a girl, he may be her best friend… But he was a man whore, no doubt about it. There were so many times she had to walk home because he wanted some alone time with a girl… It wouldn't matter to her, except it would be in the rain. There was more to it, but that was the only thing coming to her mind at the moment.

"Aw, come on. Don't be like that," He smirked. She looked up at him just to roll her eyes.

"Sorry if I want nothing to do with pompous football players," She stated coldly. "I've had my fill of douche bags for the day," Alex looked down at her with widened eyes.

"Are you being serious? I'm a douche bag? This coming from you?" He held his tongue when he realized he had almost said 'This coming from a little freak like you.'

"And what's that supposed to mean? Coming from me? You don't know a damn thing about me… I don't think you get to pass any judgments on me," Katherine told him honestly. Alex realized she was probably right and that he was going to have to get closer to Katie Baker. The question was how should he do that?

A/n Alright...Here's chapter two. Hope it was better than the first chapter. Oh, and on a side note, if you didn't guess. Some wrestlers named in this fanfiction will be named by their stage name so to speak. For me, it's easier than some names. If you don't like it, I apologize. And most wrestler's real names will be used. Thanks for reading, please review. =)
