"This is our last practice everyone!" Maryse announced to her squad. "We won't be practising after school. Everyone's gonna be getting the place ready for homecoming tomorrow, so we'll have to give it our all this morning!"

They started cheering, doing their routine, over and over without stopping. They'd come another 30 minutes early so they could practice longer. It was not a joking matter, the whole squad took everything seriously.

"All right, how about we take the last 4 minutes to dance to I Want Your Bite?" Kaitlyn suggested.

"Uhm, we still need a lot of practicing." Maryse protested.

"Oh, boohoo." Kaitlyn said with a roll of her eyes.

"Excuse me? Last time I checked I was still Cheer Captain." Maryse said through clenched teeth.

"Uhm, actually, no." Kaitlyn said, glaring at Maryse, taking a step forward. "You have been voted off your pedestal. I am now the new cheer captain."

Maryse laughed. "You? You have to be joking."

Kaitlyn nudged Maryse, giving her a glare. "Everybody tell her how she's off, and I'm on." The squad stayed silent, looking away and avoiding Maryse.

Maryse jaw dropped. "But-but you can't! You can't do that, not with out the captain there!"

Kaitlyn shrugged. "Not our fault you had detention."

Maryse glared at Kaitlyn, holding back her anger. She turned around, stomping off.

Kelly sat at her desk, chewing on her pencil as Christian worked on getting their project set.

"What are you doing?" Randy asked Christian, who was already stressed from trying to make the fake green rose perfect.

"Your mom!" Christian shouted. Kelly laughed along with the rest of the class, which made Randy and Christian join in too. "Sorry dude, I'm a little stressed right now."

"Oh, no worries. I'm stressed too. Homecoming's tomorrow, which means the big game, but then there's the dance!" Randy said, cheering at the end. "Which reminds me, you still lookin' for date?"

Christian grimaced. "I'm still ridin' solo, and that's how I think I'll go."

Randy's jaw dropped, and he slapped Christian in the stomach. "Dude! You have to have a date! How lame is going to the homecoming dance, dateless?"

Christian shrugged. "I don't mind."

Randy shook his head, giving Christian a playful look of sympathy before walking away. Christian turned to Kelly, who was still chewing her pencil, but he also noticed the dozen guys drooling over her.

"So, when did you start... changing?" Christian asked, taking a seat next to her.

"Well, I don't know. I felt there needed to be a change. Plus, now I don't have someone to pour my dreams and problems and heart out to, so I'm just going to do this; reach my goals and dreams, have the least amount of problems a girl can have, and keep to myself." Kelly smiled proudly.

Christian studied her. "Hmm, and how's that working?"

"Great!" Kelly looked over at Christian with a huge smile. "I have a date to homecoming Christian! AJ asked me this morning to sit with the B Listers at lunch today! People think I'm a shoe-in for queen, and I'm going to a national recital soon!" Kelly sighed. "Life has never felt better."

Christian frowned. "Everything's great and all, but how do you feel... here?" He took her wrist and put her hand over her heart, and putting his hand over hers.

Kelly frowned. She wanted to tell him she was happy, which she was. But she knew deep down all of this was fake. Her clothes and make-up were fake, her date asked her to the dance because she was hot, the B Listers also want to hang out with her because she's hot, and she could careless about being queen or not. She wanted real people. The only ones she had left were Maryse, Edge, Christian, and her father.

Kelly opened her mouth to say something, but the bell cut her off. Christian cleared his throat and started to pack up, giving Kelly an encouraging smile before going to second period.

Maryse sat with the A-Listers, grumpily picking at her food. When she heard Kaitlyn say something about changing the school cheer leading uniforms, Maryse stabbed her salad, then shoved it in her mouth.

"You look angry," Mike whispered. Maryse looked at him with a duhh expression, before sighing and patting his back.

"Sorry. But some little whores have been giving me trouble." Maryse indicated towards the three girls on the other end of the table.

Mike shrugged. "They are who they are. High school runs their lives. They don't realize how downhill they will go."

Maryse rolled her eyes. "No kidding."

On the other end of the cafeteria sat Kelly with the B Listers, AJ, Eve, Ashley, John, Zack, and Punk.

"So Kelly, tell us a bit about yourself," Ashley urged.

"Uhm, well I love playing the piano, I have a soft spot for cats, my birthday is in January, my mother passed away when I was little, and that pretty much sums it all up." Kelly shrugged.

"Okay, well I'l introduce you to the group." AJ said with a smile. "Ashley is a punk rock princess, Eve is super athletic and an all around amazing person, Punk is also a rocker, Zack's a jock, John's... John. And I am a comic loving video game freak! So... a tomboyish."

"That's awesome!" Kelly said with a smile.

"So I have to ask, do you hate the A List as much as we do?" Ashley blurted.

"Ashley!" Eve said, hitting her shoulder.

"What? I want to know."

Kelly bit her lip. "Uhm, well some of them are nice... But those three girls are snobs!"

"Honey, there's four of them." Ashley said with a nod.

"Yeah I know, but Maryse is my friend. She's a great person." Kelly insisted.

Ashley scrunched up her eyebrows. "I hate those chicks. They think they own the place. Randy's such a douche, Christian is sweet, and Edge is an all around amazing person. Just my opinion."

"Maryse is really distant from the clan, I'll say that much." Eve added, putting up her hands in defense.

"Let's just eat, guys," Punk said, a little more than annoyed.

Kelly shrugged and ate her lunch, making conversation with the group.
