Myself, Wyatt, Landon, and Asher stood in the gym while Mr.Millers tauntingly walked around us judging every little movement we made. It was after school and accordingly in order to stay in the games we had to attend practice, every. Single. Day. Except the weekend where on saturday we had group bonding time.  "The first game is in two months, until then we will train brutally you will only have sunday to create me mes  and watch your doges and keyboard cats on the tubes" Mr. Miller chose that time to raise his ray bans to his balding head  chewing his bubblegum rather loudly "As you might have noticed, Isabella, Olivia, and Ava are sitting behind you" we turned around to find the trio was indeed behind us wearing their cheerleading uniforms. Isabella smiled at everyone except me where she chose to run her eyes past me and on to Asher's and he winked at her causing her to blush and me to gag.  "You might also have known that feminists have taken over America! and now dancing is one of the many things that we will train for" The boys gasped while Isabella and I scoffed. 

while I bit my tongue Isabella had no problem voicing her opinion "Ben, dancing is not just a female sport, it's for both genders and it's in fact a very hard sport to do" Bently was Mr.Millers  real name but since Isabella's family had practically built the entire school on their wealth  I imagine Mr. Miller was over enough times for dinner that Isabella calling  him Ben wasn't anything new to her but extremely odd to me. "Isabella you clearly haven't seen the video link I sent you on the conspiracy theory, like I can't even with you right now" He waved her off and began to take off his sweater vest "Woah, woah,  Mr. Miller what are you doing?" Landon said his eyes the size of saucers. 

"Landon, if I am to be your coach I will need to know every part of this routine just as you will too"  Isabella, Ava, and Olivia walked down from the bleachers  "Let's get started then!" Isabella shouted clapping her hands together. 

...

"I'm dying" Asher inhaled

"suck it up" Ava spat, it was funny seeing such a petite girl be so menacing

"I can't feel my legs!" Wyatt yelled panicked 

"You can't feel them? then you're not trying hard enough! your legs should be burning" Oliva said crouching down to him "Get up! we're not playing games here! not yet anyways" she scolded.

"What's wrong Landon? anything you want to say?" Isabella approached him now seeming to tower over him. Landon was just standing there grimacing "It's just, it doesn't seem possible. My body can't do that!" Isabella pursed her lips and raising her eyebrows "it's the splits..." she tilted her head "aw you poor baby" she pinched his cheek "keep trying, or else you'll  end up doing the splits by force!"  

"Alright, that's enough for today, I'll see you all friday" Isabella announced and everybody sighed with relief and I dropped to my knees. I wasn't the worst at dancing compared to them though they did have more long lasting energy.  "I'm exhausted" I whispered, it was now I wondered if I really wanted to do this. I only jog for about an hour before I headed back home this summer and that was all I was used to doing other then eating healthy.   A hand appeared before me and I looked up to see Landon  "Tired?" He asked as I accepted his hand and was pulled up "you have no idea" he laughed "I probably have a pretty close one" and that was when I realized "Oh good grief!" I kicked at the floor frustrated "uh you okay..?"  Landon asked 

"No I'm not! I have to walk home, walk, I usually take the bus but I didn't think about that until now" The bus of course wouldn't be here after school so late why didn't I think of that? ugh. "well here's a great moment to bring up one of the bonding requirements" Mr. Miller showed up out of nowhere. He had only done the dance twice before he figured he knew it to heart and left the gym.  "Another bonding thing? is this even legal?" Wyatt asked rolling his eyes "it is if you want a certain scholarship" Mr. Miller retorted "so here's the dealio! Carpooling! you all have cars right?" He smiled thinking his idea was brilliant.  "Um no" I said, I mean why else would I take the bus? "I mean I have one but I usually just walk to school"  Landon said "I have one" Wyatt said with a shrug "Asher?" Mr. Miller looked to Asher who was glowering in the corner "I have one" He sighed.  

"Then it's settled! you guys will whip and nae nae to school together starting tomorrow, for reals" Mr. Miller was practically jumping with joy. "Okay but for reals, how am I going to get home?"I asked, walking couldn't be an option I lived to far away. I was hoping Mr. Miller could just call a bus back here or at least get me an uber. "Asher or Wyatt will drive you home depending on who lives closer to you, won't you boys?" Mr. Miller teased, he knew he could make them do whatever he wanted. "I live by the oak park do any of you know where that is?" I asked kindly hoping once Miller was gone they wouldn't ditch me. "Well um I live kind of the opposite of that direction closer to the city..." Wyatt said apologetic. 

"Then I'll drive her, I live close to oak park" Asher spoke up surprising me. He was going to drive me home? maybe he wasn't that bad of a person, in general.  "Great!" Mr. Miller clapped and then skipped out of the gym giddy. This was going to be awkward. 

...

"Do I turn here?" He shouted over the blaring music which we didn't dare turn down afraid of the awkwardness to pursue. "YES" I yelled back, we sat in leather black seats in a sports like silver car. The car seemed expensive and I wondered how someone with so much money needed a scholarship in the first place. "turn on brookmount" I said "What?" He shouted back "I said turn on brookmount!" I could see my neighborhood coming up, a small white picket fence neighborhood.  "this is ridiculous" He said and turned off the radio.  "okay now you see that house with the blue fake widow things?" He nodded and drove towards it "I'll see you tomorrow!" I said and jumped out of the car and onto the pavement. "see you" and he drove off. I then proceeded to walk to my house which was across from the house with the fake blue window things, I didn't need him knowing where I lived. 

When I walked in a saw a note taped to the fridge and ran up to it, the permission slip was missing this morning so I guessed my Mom had forgotten about it and fell asleep but now it was on the fridge with her signature! I guess I was really doing this!
