I rolled my eyes at Penelope as she dragged me towards the bulletin board, "PG, you know I didn't get in. Didn't you see the way Haley literally snapped her pencil in half when I finished the tryout dance?" I questioned, and we finally stopped at the board full of notices from different clubs.

She looked at me, "Okay, but did you see the other two girls? They looked so shocked and excited, they had to have let you on!" I sighed and rubbed my forehead,

"Dude, I'm telling you, I didn't-"

Then, Penelope cut me off by squealing loudly. I raised an eyebrow at this and saw she was staring at the paper titled,

Cheer Squad !!

With an abnormal amount of glitter and drawn stars on it, I saw the list of names. "We both got on! Oh my God!" She was so excited, and my eyes finally landed on my name. My eyes went wide,

"Wow, holy shit" I muttered,

"We get to cheer Derek on!" I tried to hold back my laugh, and then she realized what she said, "Oh, and Aaron, and Dave"

"Don't forget about Grant Anderson, he's kind of hot" I pointed out, and she started laughing at my words. I looked at her weird, "What, I'm serious!" I smirked, and the two of us started to walk out of the building.

She linked her arm with mine, "Starting tomorrow, we're cheerleaders. Come on, that's pretty cool" She tried to get it out of me, seeing how unexcited I was about the news. I shrugged,

"Yeah, you're right" I let a small smile appear on my face as the two of us chuckled, "You need a ride home? We could always call good-looking and start our proj--"

I was rudely cut off by the horrendous sound of Haley Brooks' voice, "I don't even want to hear it!" She shrieked, and I rolled my eyes and winced.

"Jesus fucking christ" I cursed, the two of us turning to see what it was. There stood Aaron and Haley, him towering over her as she shoved her pointer finger into his chest,

"You're so useless! Completely useless!" She continued, and Aaron glared at her.

"Like you're one to talk, all you know how to do is start problems and wave around pom poms" He shot back, and I tried my hardest not to literally snort at the comeback. Penelope however didn't find it funny and squeezed my arm,

"I think we should leave" She suggested, and I looked at her like she was crazy,

"And miss the show? Please, the only reason I would go anywhere is to get popcorn" I replied, and she sighed.

We continued to watch as Haley gasped at his hurtful words, "Shove off! I'm going to work, and don't call" He scoffed,

"Yeah, because I totally want to hear your voice right now" She stormed off, and Aaron noticed us.

Our eyes went wide, "Run, run!" I told her, and the two of us hurried off and towards my car.

"V, Veronica wait!" He called, and the two made it to my car. We hopped inside, and when I thought we had lost him, I heard someone bang on my car window. The two of us screamed and jumped in shock, me squeezing my eyes shut.

Once I opened them, I noticed it was Aaron. I sighed and put the window down, "What" I let out in defeat, and he leaned into my car a bit.

"You going to work tonight?"

"Obviously, that's kind of my job, to show up" I replied, sarcastically. He smirked a little before letting it fade,

"Put her on people duty" I nodded,
