SAMANTHA
All ideas of running away are thrown out of the window,it's like I'm stuck in a spell that I can't get free from even if I tried my best to.
Jessy gets on her tiptoes, hooks her arms around his neck and hugs him,he places his hands on her ass cheeks and squeezes slightly before they pull apart. That seems to break whatever spell held me hostage, he's definitely her boyfriend and if I don't want trouble,I think I should not entertain any of the thoughts going through my head right now.
I finally managed to escape Jessy,thank goodness she hasn't found me until now,I've been hiding away from her like a thief all day.
"Well I think Samantha is perfect for the position."
I hear her voice and immediately turn around, literally jogging..I round the corner and bump into something hard.
"Whoa...!!" a male voice speaks
my eyes widen as I feel myself falling backwards,then i close them, waiting for the fall of embarrassment but it never comes because a hard and strong hand is hooked around my waist. slowly I open one eye and then the other,Blue...blue is what's staring back at me,the guy from the field, Jessy's boyfriend stares back at me with mesmerizing ocean blue eyes.
up close,he's more than perfect,with a pointy nose,plump pink lips,high sharp cheekbones,long lashes and beauty spots scattered on his face. Some of his golden blonde hair falls on his forehead in wet spikes.
"Are you okay?" he asks and I snap back to action
"Yeah." I pull myself up by holding on to his bicep and he helps me.
"Watch where you're going next time,don't run around these halls, you might end up breaking a bone."
I keep staring at his lips,as he speaks word after word.
"Samantha?"
I close my eyes briefly and mouth "shit."
"Uh..hi Jessy."
"Hey babe, going home?" she moves to the guy and gives him a one sided hug,he hooks his arm around her shoulder
"Yeah,you staying behind?"
"I have practice."
He nods,that's when I realize there's a whole team behind him,these guys are hot as hell,Paula would die if she saw them, Paula is my cousin from Seattle.
"I've been looking for you,I wanted to introduce you to Bree."
I look at Bree and she's examining me with eagle eyes.
"Yeah..I think she'll do."
I look at both of them blankly
"Do...what?"
"Are you good with heights? can you jump?"
"Jump?"
she groans and looks at Jessy
"Yeah,there's an open spot for cheerleading."
"Oh."
"So...are you?"
"Uh..yes, I've done cheerleading before."
"Great,so you already know what's expected of you."
"We should get going now.
"See you later babes."
Jessy says to her boyfriend,he slides his arm of her shoulder and rolls the ball on his finger.
"Alright."
They walk away and we head to the cheerleading room.
It's been a while since I felt like this,the adrenaline rush and excitement.
"I must admit,you're really good." Bree says to me with a pleased smirk
"I told you she was it." Jessy says proudly
"Uh.. Brianna?"
A soft voice calls behind us,we turn and look at the source
"Bree.." she says through gritted teeth "it's Bree,Julia."
So her name is Brianna,she doesn't seem to like it that much.
"What about my spot?"
"You?"
Bree and Jessy look at each other
"There's no you or your spot,Julie..."
They both laugh,the way she said Juliee is just pure mockery.
"But,I did my best,you can't just kick me out." She speaks nervously
Bree stalks her way slowly,like a predator approaching it's prey.
She stands in front of her and pokes her finger in the middle of her chest, making her shrink back
"You are useless,you're too plain and boring,there's no place for you on the team."
Bree blinks slowly with a sinister smirk playing on her lips, Julia's bottom lip trembles and her eyes water
Anger brews inside me but I'm tongue tied.
"Now,shoo." Jessy dismisses her like a fly
She quickly walks out of the room with a bowed head.
After we are done with practice, we exchange numbers with the girls and I'm added to the online group chat.
School has been going great so far,it's only been three days but I'm used to the daily routine,what I just can't get through my head is the fact that I have a crush on Jessy's boyfriend.
"Hey..." Bree comes up to me
"Hi."
"Have you seen Jessy?"
"No,I just got here."
"Hmm.." she looks around "okay,this is Naomi,she's part of our group and the Elites."
I look at the girl she just introduced me to,Naomi is gorgeous,she looks half Asian,she's the type of girl who makes one question their own looks.
"Hi,I'm Samantha."
"I know." She pops her gum and continues looking around with a bored expression. How rude,birds of the same feathers I guess.
"She's a new addition to our group,which makes it four of us."
Naomi's attention turns back to me.
"What? Another addition?"
"Yes and be nice Nao."
"Fine..." She examines me from head to toe. "She's okay,and since she can cheer it's fine."
"Heya girls!" Jessy comes up to us.
"Hey.."
The conversation changes as we walk to class.
The cafeteria is packed as usual,for the first time,I don't manage to dodge the girls. Everyone gets comfortable and I try to act as normal as possible,I'm not used to having so many friends. The chatting goes on and on,I keep myself busy when I hear
"You look bored."
I turn my head and find a handsome guy focused on me.
"No I'm not." I lie through my teeth
He smiles and it's so cute and drawing
"You don't have to lie to me,I do get bored of this sometimes too."
I smile genuinely, unable to control myself.
"You got me." I sigh "I'm not used to this you know?"
"I got it, happened to me the first time."
We smile at each other while maintaining eye contact for a few seconds
"I'm Marcus by the way."
"I'm Samantha, you can call me Sam."
"Sam." He says my name with a nod
"Yo! Where the f**k have you two been?"
The black hot guy asks while looking at the entrance.
"Running some quick errands."
I turn my head and look at the guy who's been stuck in my head for days now,he's with the football captain, every Blackwool Royal girls dream guy and Bree's boyfriend,Ronan.
He's a cool guy,he's actually the one who's had the longest conversation with me since I joined the Elites,not that the others are not friendly.
One thing I've noticed about the Elites is that they are reserved,they are not friendly with people outside this circle,you'd see them as jerks until you get in their world,they're insanely funny, very chilled and really cool,turns out those who take the whole daddies fame are the girls,the guys give zero shits...well,some of them.
"Was f****d up but it pulled through." Ronan says
I try my best not to dwell on the fact that my crush is seated next to me and smells so so nice it's making it more hard to ignore him.
"Hi babes." Jessy comes over and squeezes between us,another emotion grips my heart and I refuse to acknowledge it,No Way.
The Next Day
A Figure zips past me, literally pushing me back against the lockers.
"What the hell?!"
"Sorry!" She shouts back to me
I round the corner and spot the football team. Jessy's boyfriend and Marcus are leaning against the wall, the others are just standing straight.
Someone bumps my shoulder with force,I steady myself using the wall,what the hell is wrong with everyone today? I realize it's Jessy,Bree and Pen follow closely behind her while Naomi stops at my side,with a bored expression as usual.
Jessy squeezes herself between the guys and faces her boyfriend.
"Is what Julia said true?"
"What?"
"Don't play dumb with me Xander." She says fumming.
I test his name on my tongue
Xander..
It fits him perfectly
"Oh crap." Michael says behind his palm,Xander straightens, pushing off the wall.
"Stop it Jess,we talked about this.
"Did you f**k that little slut?"
"I told you to stop." Xander's voice is low while Jessy's is loud
"Thought you could just kick me off the team just like that? Huh." A voice speaks behind me,I turn and find Julia and her friends watching the scene with hard eyes.
"You're in a relationship with me, I think you should stop sleeping around Xander!"
"Are we?"
"Whooooooa!" Peoples voices start growing in whispers and sneakers.
"What do yo you mean by are we?" Jessy glares
"I told you Jess,I don't date,this..." He points between them "is just fooling around and that's it."
Silence...
Jessy's chest heaves up and down in a fast pace.
They are not a couple?
"Now you can go for it." Naomi speaks,I turn to face her.
"What?"
"You heard me."
Then she walks away.
