Chapter Four: Cheerleader Tryouts

The next day, Elizabeth had gone to the school to attend the cheer tryouts which it was hopefully going to be a quick and brief thing. Emma was there because of Elizabeth's advice to join the team and plus the fact they agreed they'd do it together. All Elizabeth just said "I hope you're not mad at me" which Emma said "Mad for what?". Elizabeth replied "Yesterday and all that" while Emma replied "I ain't mad at you".

Mia had come onto the field and she said "Alright, let's get the tryouts out of the way besides we're in for it because in a week or two we'll be having another game". Caleb was a part of the team's training because they were preparing for the game. Julian only said to Caleb "Don't be distracted by the cheer team, especially Eli". Caleb said "I won't let her distract me unlike Zoe" which Brian said "just stop talking about her".

Julian said "Brian shut the hell up, you ain't got anything to say and besides I don't think we need a reminder of you". Brian said "How about Caleb just" however the Coach blew his whistle as he said "Break it up you two, god damn". Coach added "Whatever happens off the field stays off the field alright, now come on". Meanwhile the football team was doing their training, Mia was doing the thing with the cheer team.

During the tryout, Mia and Payton were talking about something called the power bomb however it was something that was experimental. She wasn't going to push her team through the torture however at the same time she needed to ready something up. This was important dearly for the school really. Mia only said "Alright, so even though you're new, we have something to come up to test out… It's called the powerbomb".

Sydney just said "Mia, they're too new, plus the power bomb is" which Mia said "I don't care Sydney, besides we have a game coming up and all that". Mia said "It's just quite simple, it's not gonna be perfect, but we'll get it better". However, Sydney did have a point really because it was unready and the results could be disastrous. Yet Mia still had them practice it anyways, the one and it also showed Elizabeth's prominent side.

When Mia had seen that Elizabeth was quite good at this, she had grown jealous really because now she was concerned that her role was going to be striped. Mia said "All right tryouts are over" while Sydney said "We haven't". Mia said "I said tryouts are over, The results will be posted Monday morning". Mia stormed off now, to which Elizabeth said "What's with her" and Payton replied "Don't know, will find out I guess".

Tomorrow, when Sunday had come and it was an average Sunday day for Elizabeth, however, that was all going to change. She heard the doorbell and she had gone to go see but her father had already managed, only to see Caleb was there. She did not believe that he was truly going to go through with it. Her father said "Just give me a second let me go get her" and he turned around only to see her.

Her father only said "Neverminded here she is" which she had gone to leave, which she said "I'll be back later today" and her father only said "have fun you two". The two walked to the sidewalk now, to which Caleb said "Your dad's an interesting person". She chuckled before she said "Yea, he's the only one I have in my family". Caleb nodded and the two had walked downtown to the movie theater.

Once they had arrived, Caleb only asked "So what sort of movie do you want to see" which Elizabeth replied "I can go with any movie really". Caleb looked to see what was on the board, and he decided that they might as well see a romance movie. Elizabeth was sort of surprised when he chose it but she had nothing against it really. However, once in the theater, the two just grabbed some snacks for the movie.

Then the two had gone to sit down in whatever seat they could find, throughout the movie and after some stuff of popcorn. Elizabeth leaned her head on his shoulder while Caleb looked at her slightly before he placed his arm around her waist. The two held each other's hand throughout the movie. One time, Caleb actually had a smile on his face and a part of him wished he had met Elizabeth sooner.

He had never shared a moment like this with anybody, except her she was changing that entirely for him, and hell Zoe was nothing compared to Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a great upgrade from her, and it took him this long to realize it. He just didn't want to admit such a thing this early because it could just very jinx their connection. Boy this coming winter was going to be a sure hell-hole for the both of them.

When the movie was over, the two were walking out and all Caleb said was "So how'd you like it" to which Elizabeth replied "It was okay, but I had you". Caleb just said "come on, I'll walk you back home" and they began their walk back. When they had gotten back to her house, Caleb said "Well I had fun". Elizabeth replied "Yea I had fun to" however the two just briefly looked at each other.

Caleb leaned down and Elizabeth couldn't stop herself and right before they could actually kiss, her father came out only to see them. Caleb had noticed him and he backed off a bit which Elizabeth had looked at as she sighed a bit. Her father just said "Hope I wasn't interrupting you two" which Caleb said "Not really". Elizabeth sighed and she said "I'll see you tomorrow then" which Caleb nodded however he kissed her.

The two held the kiss before Caleb broke it off "See you around" which he walked off to head home and Elizabeth just smiled to herself and she went inside to her room. She immediately grabbed her phone and she texted Peyton. All she sent was 'We kissed' which Peyton replied 'Well what was it like'. Elizabeth only responded with 'It felt strange but then again he was the first guy I've ever kissed'.

Peyton replied 'Would it make you feel better to know you're the first girl he's ever kissed' which Elizabeth replied 'Yes yes it would actually'. Peyton then replied 'Then there you go, wonder what he's saying to Ezra at the moment'. Elizabeth only replied 'My father came out before we could get to, but when he left he just y'know'. Peyton responded 'Just steal one before he left, that sounds like something he'd do honestly'.

Meanwhile, with Caleb and his brother Ezra and let's just say Ezra was not hearing the end of it from his brother and Julian was there as well. Julian said "Alright start over man" which Caleb said "I don't know if I can". Ezra said "Caleb are you in love" which Caleb said "Well, no shit sherlock" and Julian said "So she must be that special huh". And with that, Caleb replied "Hell yes, she's that special. She is beyond special".

Ezra said "At least it gets you off Zoe" Julian nodded before he said "That is a bonus, but are you guys gonna officiate it or what". Caleb said "Probably not since it's still too early after all of that with Zoe and Brian however I'd think she'd want to do the same". Ezra nodded and he said "Agree, besides its way too early to take your guy's love. Julian added "And the fan bases that there are with the couples".

Caleb understood that part, hell he felt like him and Elizabeth could become the next popular couple of the school, yet time could only tell what could happen. Caleb only said "I still can taste her lips" while Julian said "Oh you guys kissed on your first date". Ezra chuckled "Yet he never kissed Zoe when it was their first date". Caleb said "It was like I couldn't just walk off without doing that to Elizabeth".

Julian chuckled as he said "Well she is one of the lucky girl's hell I think you both should be glad that I suggested this date" and Caleb was looking at the ceiling. All he could say was "Oh we are glad I am sure of it, you think she made the team". Ezra added "A gal like her, definitely made the cheer team ain't no way they'd fail her". Julian then said "Hey, at least we know that Caleb's found his cheerleader".

Ezra added "Next thing, he's popping the question to her" which Caleb said "Brother" and Ezra chuckled before he said "I have a point though". Caleb sighed and he said "I know we'll get to that point I just don't know if I'll be able to do it". Julian said "Don't look at the future, just stay in the moment and you'll figure it out". Julian added "when the moment is right, the moment will be right and you won't have to worry".

It had seemed like the two were at least trying to help him out with a relationship that may actually do him better than the last one he was in. But he also knew that there was going to be some sort of an aftermath for all of this. After all, Elizabeth's and Caleb's most confusing aspect of them was only about to begin. Romance was the greatest confuse to many during their years together.
