Chapter 6"You can sit on it, if you want" I say as I motion towards my bed
Her eyes glance up at me before she walks towards my bed and takes a seat on my neatly laid comforter.
I go to sit beside her but get stopped by my phone going off.
I quickly pull my phone out of the waistband of my spandex and check my notifications.
I notice that I have a text message from Avery.
I quickly open it only for my eyes to widen.
Avery- Aspen and Belleza sitting in a tree
I quickly type my response out before setting my phone down on my dresser and walking over to Belleza.
Aspen- Stop it, you already know that I like Charlotte
I try to hide my blush as I sit down beside her.
"Are you okay?" Belleza asks with a slight worried tone
Oh god.
I hope I'm not scaring her.
"Yeah, I'm okay" I say as I look up to meet her curious green eyes
She gently places her hand on my upper arm as she slowly starts to lean in.
Her eyes never leave mine as she continues to observe me intently.
My heart starts to speed up as she stops a few centimeters away from my face.
My breathing quickly starts to become heavy as she smirks at me.
What the hell is happening?!
And why am I not stopping it?!
"Girls, the food is ready" my mom yells from downstairs
I practically jump away from her in surprise.
She stares at me with the same smirk on her face as I blush. I quickly exit my room and make my way towards the kitchen.
Okay, what was that, Aspen?
She could've kissed you.
But she didn't.
That means something, right?
I'm so confused.

Charlotte's POV
I've been thinking about Aspen becoming a cheerleader all day.
I originally planned to tryout for the volleyball team but when I found out that Aspen was going to tryout for cheer I instantly became ecstatic.
Why?
Because during our homecoming game we give one of our volleyball jerseys to anyone of our choosing.
I feel like it would be a simple but effective way to tell people that Aspen belongs to me.
"Charlotte, how long are you going to keep this from her?" Avery asks as she leans against a brick wall
Practice is going to start in a couple of minutes.
We are trying out outside while the cheerleaders are trying out inside.
"When the time is right" I say with a tone of persuasion
You sound like you're trying to persuade yourself rather than her.
Be quiet.
"Make sure you do it soon. She'd rather find out from you than the paparazzi" Avery says with a slight scolding tone
I nod my head as if I'm silently telling her that I'll do it.
"Okay, soon" I say
"Great, I'll see you tomorrow" she says with a smile before turning around and heading towards the gym.
I quickly walk towards the double doors and open them to reveal the football field which has a portable volleyball net in the center.
We all changed into our proper attire in the second gym before coming out here.
As soon as I start my path towards the field every stops and stares at me as they continue their conversations.
This has been happening all day.
I would've probably became frustrated at some point if it wasn't for Aspen.
Aspen helps keep me grounded.
In this industry I've seen many people start humbly and become a whole different person.
Just the thought of Aspen had me feeling like a preteen with a crush on a boy band member.
"Belleza, it's so nice to have an addition to our team" the coach says with a bright smile
I smile back politely but remind myself to speak to her at the end of practice.

"Great job, girls, the roster will be posted tonight" our coach says before she walks towards the double doors
As soon as she leaves a few girls walk up to me and ask my to sign something for them.
I agree since I don't want to come off as rude.
When I'm finished signing items for them I walk towards the double doors so that I can talk to our coach.
As I enter the building I notice the cheerleaders going into the locker rooms, we'll all of them except Avery and Aspen.
I wonder what they're talking about?
I quickly grab my bag from the second gym before walking towards our coaches office and knocking on the door.
"Come in" I hear her faintly say from behind the thick door
I twist the door knob as I push the door forward which reveals my coach sitting behind her small desk.
"Belleza, is there a problem?" She says with a worried tone
"No, not at all. I just want to inform you of something" I say
She nods her head as if silently telling me to continue.
"If it's not much trouble, could you possibly treat me the same way that you treat the other girls" I request politely
I don't want to be favored just because of my status.
"Yes, of course. Is that all?" She asks with a smile
"Yeah" I say with a head nod
"Great, I'll see you tomorrow" she says which causes me to nod my head in response before I exit her office.
