Chapter Seventeen - "Do You Really Want Me To?"
___

Avery's P.O.V

"Hey, people!" I hear a certain voice say behind me and I grin, turning around.

"Hey Patrick." I say and he grins, taking a seat next to me. Patrick looks at Claire and winks.

"Hey Claire." Patrick says and Claire smiles in response. I smile at the two.

I need to get these two together.

"I heard that new girl is your sister." Patrick looks at me, his eyebrow raised. I nod and cross my arms over my chest, leaning in my seat.

"News spreads fast." I say and Patrick chuckles.

"I've noticed." Patrick says and I roll my eyes, looking at my phone which beeped two seconds ago.

Jade: Where are you?

Me: The cafeteria.

Jade: Can you meet me in the gymnasium?

Me: Yeah sure.

I stand from my chair, earning looks from both Claire and Patrick. I wave them off and smile.

"I just have to go meet Jade in the gym. I'll be back in a few minutes." I say and they both nod. I walk out of the cafeteria and start to walk towards the gymnasium.

When I reach the gymnasium doors, I push them both open to see Jade on the stage with a few people and a certain brown haired boy.

Logan.

"Jade." I call and she looks at me, a small grin on her lips.

"Hey, sis." Jade says before jumping off the stage. She walks towards me and stops when she is in front of me.

"I just want to tell you that I won't be home tonight. Logan over here invited me to a party and I never say no to parties, especially when there are going to be hot boys there. So, don't tell mom or dad about my whereabouts." Jade says and I raise my eyebrow.

"You couldn't say this over message?" I ask and Jade sighs before a smirk appears on her face.

"My phone died just after you messaged me." Jade says and I nod, sighing.

"Okay, I wont tell." I say before turning on my heel and walking out of the gymnasium.

First, Logan winks at Jade then invites her to a party? Am I even existing?

Calm down Avery, your not even dating him. He doesn't even know you like him so he can wink at anyone he wants, my brain scowls me and I frown.

But it hurts.

"Okay class, today, we are going to watch Romeo and Juliet and watch out for the techniques and other things we learnt this week." Mrs Mason says and sits in her chair. She looks at Peter - the one that was sitting next to me on the bus - and tell him to stand.

"Peter, hit the lights please." Mrs Mason says and Peter being the idiot he is, walks to the light switch and literally hits it. He turns around to face Mrs Mason with a smile. The whole class starts laughing.

"Principle's office." Mrs Mason says and Peter turns to the class before bowing and walking out of the class room. Mrs Mason sighs and gets up, turning the lights off herself.

I lean my head on the table and yawn. I am actually pretty tired since I hardly got any sleep last night. Why? Oh, because my parents just decided that playing loud music on a Thursday night to celebrate the return of their first child was a good idea. No the fuck it wasn't.

"Hey." I hear Logan say and I roll my eyes, raising my head to look at him.

I literally hate this class because it's the only class that I have with Logan but no one else. Okay, I don't hate it but I don't know, it's annoying sometimes.

"What do you want?" I ask, raising my eyebrow. Logan frowns.

"Are you on your period or something?" Logan asks and I try to not punch him in the face.

Asshole.

See, this is why I don't like liking people because you get obsessive and jealous really quickly. It's unhealthy for me. You get too clingy and it's dangerous because you might even fall for that person even though you don't want to. I hate liking people. Why did it have to be him?

"Leave me alone, Logan." I mumble, turning away from him. I hear Logan mutter something but I simply ignore it. All of a sudden, Logan gets up from his chair then moves next to me.

What is his problem?

"Did you not just listen to my words? I said-"

"I know what you said, Avery." Logan says seriously and I stare at him, waiting for him to do anything but he doesn't. I sigh.

"Then actually listen for once and leave me alone." I say.

"Do you really want me to?"

"What?" I ask.

"Do you want me to leave you alone?" He repeats.

No.

"Yes." I say and Logan looks at me for a few seconds before nodding, standing up and walking back to his chair, ignore the teacher who is glaring at him. I sigh and look at the table, drawing circles with my index finger.

Why do I have a feeling I will regret this?

"Oh my god, you girls did amazing! Especially you Avery since this is your first practice!" The coach smiles, clapping as we stand in our final positions. I smirk at Katie who is glaring at me.

"Okay, the game is tonight so make sure you all remember the routine." The coach says and we all nod. As the girls go to get their bags and other things, the coach walks up to me.

"Do you think you'll remember it all? I really don't want us to make a fool out of ourselves and I don't want you embarrassing yourself and-" I laugh and cut the coach off.

"Its okay coach, I'll remember it and I won't embarrass myself or the team." I say, smiling. The coach sighs and pats my shoulder.

"I hope so. Anyway, you get going to lunch okay." The coach says before walking off towards her office and I jog towards Claire.

"So, what's happening between you and Logan?" Claire asks as we walk down the hall towards the cafeteria. I sigh and shrug.

"I won't be talking to him for a while." I say and Claire raises an eyebrow in confusion.

"Why? What happened?"

"In English, he asked me what was wrong and I said leave me alone but he moved next to me. When I told him again to leave me alone he said do I really want him to, I said yes and yeah. We haven't talked since." I say, a small frown on my lips. Claire sighs.

"Ugh, does this have something to do with Jade and him?"

"It has everything to do with her. First of all, they are like flirting then he invites her to a party tonight and what do I have to do? Cover for her so she doesn't get in trouble. What the hell am I?" I groan in frustration. Claire furrows her brows and frowns.

"Your upset with him because of this?"

"Its always the little things, Claire."

"Avery, remember, you have half of these boys chasing after you, wanting you and your whinging over a boy who didn't even invite you to a party? Dude, your the winner here. Make him jealous."

"He doesn't like me." I mumble and Claire smirks.

"Trust me, he may not like you but it will get a reaction out of him. After the game, we are going to that party, okay?"

How could I say no to that?

"This is so not our uniform..." I mumble to myself, looking at the red and white clothing. The cheerleading uniform is your typical high school uniform. It is short and it shows a lot of skin.

How can people even be comfortable wearing this? How can these girls father's let them wear this? How can my own father be comfortable with me wearing this?

"Come on, Avery! We are going on in five minutes!" I hear the coach yell and I sigh, quickly changing into the uniform. Once I am done, I walk outside and see Claire watching me.

"Fuck, you look hot." Claire says, eyeing me up and down. I roll my eyes and look down at the uniform.

"I feel like I'm going to puke." I say, frowning.

"You'll be fine." Claire says and I sigh, looking at the girls who are getting into a line, ready to run onto the field. I stand behind them with Claire behind me and I look at the crowd.

There is definitely a lot of people here.

I shake my head, releasing the nerves before running with the rest of the girls onto the field.

"The score is 16-18, their way but there is only a minute left. Can we do it guys?" The commentator says and we all sit on the bench, watching our team in red get tackled by the blue team who's team name I don't remember.

Us, the wolves, had many strong players from what I have been seeing the past hour and a bit and I finally knew why our team had so many people coming to see them. We were good but not at good as the opposition.

"Thirty seconds left!" The commentator says through the speaker and I suddenly jump up when the other girls do. We all start jumping with our pom-pom thingy's in our hands as Terry runs down the side of the field, barging the blue team away from him as they charge at him. Suddenly, he dives on the large grass behind the pole and the everyone cheers.

We win!

"Holy shit, I have never been so pumped in my entire life... and this is only because of football." Claire says beside me as she continues to jump up and down. I grab her arm to stop her and she apologizes. I just nod.

"Okay, let's get to this party." Claire says and I nod again, walking away from the football teams, cheerleading team and people in the bleachers.

Time to get this show on the road.
