Chapter 6

• I get another message as I feel my phone vibrate
• Stella- hurry, we need to get there before my asshole of a brother eats all the food
• I laugh at the message just as Emma comes back into the room confused
• "What's so funny?" She asks causing me to look up
• "Nothing, it was just a meme that I saw" I say putting my phone away as she hands me my cheer uniform, I smile and take it from her while also thanking her before leaving the gym and going behind the school to find Easton.
• "Hey, I was starting to think you were gonna stand me up" he jokingly says as he sees me walk around the corner and walk towards him, I laugh at him
• "now why would I do that?" I ask him as I stop in front of him with a smile on my face
• "I don't know you tell me miss busy schedule" he teases me as he wraps his arms loosely around my waist and pulls me a little closer towards him
• "Speaking of which, I currently have somewhere else I need to be" I say as I loosely wrap my arms around his neck
• "Well then, we wouldn't wanna waste anymore of your precious time, would we?" He says as he leans his forehead on mine
• "Okay, you win" I say laughing at him as I move a little away from him because the intoxicating scent of his cologne is making me wanna do unholy things to him
• "At what?" He ask suddenly serious and staring deeply into my blue eyes
• "Our flirting battle?" I say but it comes out as more of a question as he steps forward and connects our foreheads again but this time I don't pull away
• "Who said I didn't mean what I said?" He asks as his lips were centimeters away from touching mine
• "I- I um- uh" I stuttered trying to say literally anything coherent as my eyes were slowly closing from euphoria and lust.
• We've never been in this situation with each other before.
• It's usually just harmless teasing and flirting but...I don't really know what we were thinking.
• I look behind his head so that I don't drown in his captivating grey eyes but I get spooked when I see Emma
• Oh no she can not see me with him. She'll get the wrong idea.
• "Shit" I say then quickly pull him into a random corner before Emma can glance our way
• "What are you doing?" Easton asks confused as I peek over the corner so I know when she leaves
• "There's this cheerleader named Emma who has a crush on you and she'll castrate me if she sees us together" I say facing him after I see her get into a white G wagon
• "Of course there is" I hear him whisper with a hint of annoyance in his voice, I decide to change the subject before he could go into detail about his dilemma
• "How was football tryouts?" I ask him while I move to stand in front of him
• "You're looking at the schools new quarterback" he says looking genuinely happy which warms my heart
• "I knew you could do it" I say smiling at him
• "How about you? How were cheer tryouts?" He asks
• "You're looking at the schools co-cheer captain" I say smiling at him
• "So does this mean I can count on you to cheer me on at games?" He says smirking and placing his hand lightly on my hips
• "Woah slow down there tiger, your sister also made the squad so I only cheer for the whole football team" I say smiling as he pouts his lip
• My phone vibrates and I see that I got 2 new messages
• One from Stella and one from Emma
• I open Stella's first
• Stella- I swear to all that is fucking holy that if you don't walk out here in 7 seconds I'm leaving
• I then open Emma's message
• Emma- Do you wanna hang out after school tomorrow?
• I decide to text Emma back
• Amelia- yes, I'd love to.
• I turn towards Easton to see him watching me carefully and intently.
• "I have seven seconds to get to your sisters car before I'm left here" I say smiling at the whole situation
• "If she leaves you I'll just drive you, it's no big deal" he says
• I smile at Easton as a way of saying thanks then head towards Stella's car. I place my cheer uniform, pom poms, and backpack in the backseat then make my way to the passenger seat to see a very pissed off Stella
