the pep rally
Its yelling at me I know it. keeps saying get up dumbass but I refuse, I don't want to.
THUMP! "Mom says get up you're going to be late" my darling older sister says.
"I could just drop out, be like you, work full time" I say in all seriousness.
"just get up at least its Friday" and with saying that she walks back to her room.
" fine" I say unhappily.
I make my way to the bathroom to shower. I blindly reach for my contact case and carefully put them in my eyes. stepping into the shower I let the warm water wake me up. getting the shampoo and conditioner I scrub my scalp and rinse. making sure to go over my legs and pits again so I'm smoother than fish for the pep rally. I turn off the water and dry off before I leave the bathroom. I put on my oversized cheer sweater and some slightly ripped jeans and my docs to top it off.
I walk to the kitchen to find my mom sitting at the kitchen table studying for pilot school. She motions for the waffle next to her and and hands my plate.
"so how did you sleep" she said sweetly.
"great I had no nightmare and I went to bed at 1 instead of 3" I said matching her energy.
"that's nice dear" she said going back to studying.
I butter my waffle and inhale the entire thing in under 3 minutes.
"get going so you wont be late" she said with a smile.
" yeah I'm going" I said while getting up.
"you remember your uniform and your shoes and your pom poms" she said concerningly.
"yes I also did my homework and got all my books together" I said walking out the door.
I walked down the path to my car that i paid off this summer. I got in and peeled out of my neighborhood to my school. I parked around back in my spot and walked through the back doors of the school. seeing my friend Mia.
" hey you ready for the pep rally today' she asked in a cheery tone.
" oh totally jumping and prancing around for our team who wont win tonight" I say cynically.
" ally stop remember positive manifestation results in positive outcomes now c'mon we've gotta get to class" she always believes hope will effect our teams out come I go along because usually she's right.
I drone about through my classes too much noise but still I have to go. when lunch hits I'm starving. nice they have cheeseburgers today. I go get mine and sit in my 2 period class trying to finish my retest. once I'm done I'm being dragged by my wrist to the cheer lockers and change in the locker room.
"how was your retest" Mia asked.
" I think I did really well this time having you know studied" I say as I pull my skirt on.
" well lets hope so I need you for competition next year" she says she's going to teach me how to be stingy with money. I spend 60 dollar in one weekend and suddenly I'm "irresponsible" with money.
I pull my cheer sweater back over my head to cover up my uniform. I head back out and go outside. the Texas heat really helps cancel out the schools arctic AC temp.
"yes it has to be her she the only one who is worthy of my awesomeness" a voice said around the corner.
"she's not gonna go for you dude she doesn't go for anyone" the second voice spoke out.
" oh shush if he wants to sleep with her sleep he can sleep with her" a third voice what the hell is going why are they talking about a girl like she's cattle.
"c'mon guys don't talk about her like she's car she's a person" its the second voice again as least one of them have a brain.
" so we agree then" the third voice ignored the second guy.
" you'll receive 3000 dollars and the pink slip to my Ford F-150 if you can get Allison Waters to sleep with you and if you lose you'll owe me 3000 and the pink slip to your lifted GMC truck " the third guys voice said.
What. The. Actual. f**k.
I peer around the corner to see who it was and of course it was the edge rusher on the team Preston Michael's. They were betting me no not even me they were betting on my coochie.
"its on" that all I heard before I bolted inside and ran to the locker room. when I finally stop I cant breathe my entire jaw is numb I really need to workout more this is ridiculous. I wanna scream how can they do that betting on me so casually as if I'm not a person with feelings and thoughts and a wide knowledge of how to get away with murder. ugh I could kill them it wouldn't be hard their dumber than a sack of hammers. I slap my face to get a grip on my thoughts. I inhale slowly and exhale slower. I'm calm I'm rational I'm not going to rip them limb from pathetic limb. They have no power over me. I could tell everyone but they might deny it and call me crazy. I could tell them privately that I know but they're too slimy to get the privilege to save face. I could blackmail them but I have no evidence god mother fu-- ill play along ill make them believe I'm actually into him and when he tries to get s*x ill play coy and say I'm saving myself for the right guy. ill crucify him for this.
"Allison there you are the bell already rang we have to help set up mats in the gym c'mon" Mia says excitedly.
" I'm coming" I yell back I'm going to have fun with this.
as we set up the mats I'm trying to think of ways I can mess with him. "bobby come help" my captain yells at me I'm on the fence about the nickname because I hate but it makes them happy so I allow it.
the students start piling in and look dead inside I would question it more if they looked happy though. The band does their thing and dance team does a dance and my team does a pyramid and we flip a girl in the air. the crowd always finds that amazing. Mia directs my attention to Preston because he's smiling at me. ew. and I have to keep smiling or else I get in trouble but he ignore that and thinks I'm smiling back at him which is obviously code for "lets sleep together" in his mind.
the bell rings and everyone scatters to go home. I'm getting my but I'm rudely interrupted by Preston who decided touching my arm was a great idea.
"you looked great out there" he said as I am holding back my upchuck.
"thanks I was sweating like a pig" I say as a matter of fact but then I remember I have to keep him on a string.
"yeah I noticed" he said it like it was a compliment like dude you don't say that to a girl you're trying to sleep with.
"great well if that's it I'm gonna go" I said hoping he'll ask me out so I can decline.
" actually there's this party after the game tonight I could pick you up do a little dancing and drinking it'll be fun." he saying this as he gets closer to me as if he actually thinks I'm into him.
"I don't know if I should go I have a project due on Monday" I lied.
"oh c'mon ill be there so you know it'll be fun" he said that too suggestively like seriously this is the most you've ever spoken to me and you really expect someone to fall for this what a dumbass.
"ok fine ill stop by the party for and hour or two then ill have to go home" man he's so stupid.
"great give me your number so I can text you the address" he said.
he's going to send me d**k pic after d**k pic.
"no need I already know where it is, its been going around school all week" the truth this time because no one has anything better to do than to get drunk and hook up.
"well if I have your number then we can just text each other anyways" man he is really pushing this.
"ok here" I grab his arm to write a number on it. its the number where they just rick roll you.
