Chapter 4


Scott looks at his cousin, as if he was wondering what he is up to. Tim said, "Scott, it seems my sister has difficulty adjusting to her cheerleader friends." 

Scott turns to him, "Oh, really? What is her problem, anyway? I'm sure that Ashley would turn to her side eventually.

Tim sighs, as he knew that talking to the captain of the basketball team would be tricky since he doesn't know a thing about girls.

He watches from the distance when Rachel was texting to someone, but Tim doesn't know whom she sent it to. 

Rachel sighs as she walks to her classroom. In an moment, Timothy thought of keeping an close eye on her. 

"It has to be someone she trusts, but who would try to gain the trust of an cheerleader like Rachel?"  Tim thought in his mind. 

He shook his head , as if it was crazy, that nothing would be change his sister's life for the better. 

Rachel pays attention in class, trying to conceal something , like something important. 

She puts her books in her locker, as Tim went to her . 

"Rachel, can we talk?" He asks her, as she scoffs at her brother as if this wasn't necessary. 

"No way, you just want to keep a close eye on me, Timothy. I'm not someone's prize , and I'm not going to be one." She said, as she looks at her phone as a text message just came in. 

"Now, I have to meet someone, so, I'll see you later. If Dad was wondering where I am, tell him I'll be home sooner than expected." Rachel said, as she rushes off, leaving her brother with pure confusion in his face.


Hayden was nervous. He never thought of inviting a girl before. But something about Rachel is special. 

It was something about her makes her unique, and it felt him to be himself around her, even though that they have different personalities .

Freddy asks, "So, what's going on, Hayden? I mean, this is quite interesting of inviting a girl to your house, what's on your mind?"

The young boy doesn't know how to reply to him, considering that he doesn't know if he knew anything about love.

"It's... It's something only I have to do, Freddy. I would invite you over, but it has to be something special for Rachel and me.

I just want it to be surprise, for her." Hayden said, which caught the boy's attention.

"I'll see you around." Freddy said.

Hayden sighs as he saw Rachel coming towards him.

"Hey, I got your text message. I'm glad you're able to go through with this." Hayden said, nervously.

"It's better than being in Cheerleading session, there's no practice today after school anyway." Rachel said.  

They went to Hayden's house as Toothless jumps in top of Rachel! 

She laughs as the black dog licks her constantly. 

"T-Toothless, get off of her!" Hayden said nervously as Rachel said, "It's all right, Hayden. You really have a thing for animals, don't you?"

Hayden knelt down to Toothless, "Toothless was a stray I've found before I even attended Berksville High.

His previous owner put him into the streets and abandoned him. So, I gave him food one day and then he followed me home , we've been close since that encounter." 

Rachel didn't interrupt Hayden's story about Toothless. She smiles, "It's quite amazing of how people judged you even before they get to know you. 

All I remember ever since I attended Berksville High, everyone knew me as one of the cheerleaders of the whole school . 

I never get the chance to hang out with real people, and be myself, a real girl.

When I speaking to you, I felt I was a normal girl." 

Hayden said, "You know, you look one like one too, Rach. " 

They were silent for a moment, as Rachel notices a doorway. 

"Hey, Hayden, what is beyond that doorway?"

"Oh, that. I um, never shown this to anyone, especially Scott. He's not into this ."

He leads her down to the basement, and pulls the switch to reveal the tesla toils Coils arena that he has been working on.

"Whoa." Rachel said.


Rachel hasn't seen anything like this before. It was a tesla Coils arena that she reads in science class. 

She examines the workmanship and asks, "Did you build this arena all by yourself?"

Hayden's cheek grew red , as he rubs his head, "Y-Yeah. I did. It is a lot of commitment of making it into an reality. 

I think you should enter my cage." 

Her expression turns from shock to curiosity.

"That is something I never heard someone say that to me." She said, as she follows the young boy inside the cage. 

"I think you should put your hands inside in bar, both hands." Hayden advices the cheerleader, as she puts her hands next to his. 

Hayden taps his laptop as the electric shocks flew across the room, which Rachel startles a bit, but smiles.

"How is this even possible? " She asks.

"The Coils interact with the frequency of the sound waves which makes the lighting to the direction it wants to go.

It seems nerdy. Sorry, I just geeking out by explaining it to you."   

Rachel said, "No, it's not that nerdy at all! I think it's ... amazing!" 

Hayden never knew that someone would be so excited over what he does, not even Scott would bother him. 

It makes him realize that maybe it's time to make Rachel's visit a special one, the one that she would remember for the rest of her life. 

Hayden taps his laptop to play music .

She was surprised as the song continued playing as their eyes meet, as it was a small moment that no on would disturbed again. 

They lean into each other as they formed their first kiss.


Author's note:

Finally , a first kiss! How long would Hayden and Rachel keep this a secret from the school?
