Sorry it took so long to update. I kept messing up this chapter, and I've had a lot of stuff going on like friends talking about me behind my back and final exams. I know this chapter is short a filler, and a little bit boring, but the stuff that happens in this chapter is important to the rest of the story. Thanks for all your reviews, and on with the story!
Ivy's POV
"I got a 47?!" I exclaimed in horror, my eyes bugging out as I saw the grade written in red at the top of my chemistry exam.
Donna looked at me pitifully. Expectedly, her exam grade was a 95.
"Ivy, may I please speak to you for a moment?" Ms. Flame requested. My face flushed in shame.
"Man, you totally bombed that test, didn't you?" Barry teased me as I was walking over to Ms. Flame's desk. I gave him my best evil eye.
Ms. Flame was a petite woman with her ash brown hair tied back in a tight, ash brown bun. She wore a black cardigan over a long white dress, and her wire rimmed reading glasses were sitting on her desk. Her amber eyes were staring up at me with disappointment.
"Ivy, I'm sure you are aware that your grades in my class are below average," she began. I nodded, looking at my feet. "But I think that your grades might improve if you had a tutor."
I looked up at her, curious. "Who would be my tutor?" I inquired.
"I've already talked to another student of mine, Hunter Stross, about the issue. He has agreed that he would tutor you every Saturday morning and Wednesday evening."
My eyes widened in excitement as I remembered the blue eyed boy from my drama class. "Oh! Er- yes! That sounds great!" I exclaimed.
"Excellent. I'll tell Hunter this afternoon. Your first study session will be at 8:30 AM in the Library," Ms. Flame announced, looking pleased.
For the first time in a while, I was actually looking forward to studying.
Donna's POV
I stood on my toes, trying to see the list of girls the got accepted for the cheerleading team over the sea of girls crowding around the paper.
"I got in!" Shouted a blonde girl named Dawn.
"Same here!" Gushed Hailey.
After pushing through the crowd of people, I was finally able to read the list.
2017-2018 Cheerleaders
Captain: Cindy Farland
•Isabelle Clove
•Rosie Day
•Poppy Farland
•Hailey Farland
•Holly Flame

I could almost burst with happiness after reading my name at the bottom of the list. I ran up to Cindy and hugged her. "I can't believe it! I'm actually a cheerleader!" I exclaimed in joy.
Cindy hugged me back. "I'm positive that you'll make a great addition to our team." She stated. "Remember, first practice is on Monday at 4:00 PM."
"I'll be there," I assured her. Giddy and excited, I practically skipped all the way to third period.
