I take a second take at the man in a sweatshirt and a dress pants with his feet on the desk and pencil twirling in his hands. My first instinct is to run, but as I have come to learn because of my experience with my dead sister, running away with no evidence equals to no one believing. And for all I know he could mean no harm. Hopefully with that thought my mind can stop screaming at my legs to run. My legs are turning jelly because of it.

"Well, yeah," I shrug. "Not like I have a choice."

I look behind me to avoid his piercing gaze. A sigh escape my lips as I saw that the door is open. With that sigh, some of the tension left my body leaving an almost fully armed defense system. I hear him chuckle and I quickly snap my head towards him, shooting a baleful look his way.

"Hey," he raises his palms at each side of his head in surrender. "I'm on your side."

My left eyebrow arch up to complete my 'really?' look. But before he can say anymore, a familiar voice interrupts us.

"Have you told her yet Alan?" Ramona asks with a grin my way.

"No, Ramona," he sighs. "Give me another few minutes."

"Okay," she chirps before leaving.

I turn back to look at Mr. Longmore. His name is Alan, huh? I already distaste it. Another name to not suggest to name I child. I would say my children, but at the rate I'm going, children will never come and I am buying any sperm online.

"Why is she so happy?" I ask with a frown.

"Well," he stands up to his full length stretching his hand towards me and I immediately flinch back. "Welcome to Longford's High cheerleading squad, The Renegades."

"I am part of the cheerleading squad?" I inquire. "Aren't I suppose to wait to see the names on the poster first?"

"Nope," he replys popping the p. "Not when you are the captain."

My frown deepens. How am I the captain? Isn't that position given to the cheerleader who has cheered the longest? This is a little confusing.

"Amber," I watch as he drops his hand seeing that I have no intention of shaking it. "Stop over thinking. Being the captain cheerleader isn't about how much experience, it's about how good you are and the team's decision."

"So they chose me to be their captain?" I stare at him in disbelief.

I just saw those cheerleaders giving me deadly glares as I pass them. Ramona was the only one who look at me with a happy face. This is getting more confusing by the minute.

"Yes, Amber," he smiles as he moves around his desk and lean against the edge. "They were impressed by your performance and you are a good role model."

I don't see how I am a good role model. Role models are persons who talk a lot, who give persons no reason they need a therapist and who are ultimately perfect. Or at least normal. And I am none of those. I shake my head to clear my mind before a migraine pop up.

"Have you told her yet?" I turn to see an overly excited Ramona. If it was in a different situation, I would have laughed, but it wasn't.

"Yes," Mr. Longmore chuckled. "She's all yours."

I frown. All hers? Before I can think any further, I stumble back as Ramona crash into me with a hug. I tense immediately, but she seems not to notice and continues to hug me. I awkwardly pat her back. She eases back and gives me a beaming grin.

"Well, congratulations Amber," she says sweetly. "You are now an official cheerleader."

It then finally hit home. I am a cheerleader. The captain of something that I am not interested in, but there is no turning back. I look behind Ramona to see the others smiling as well, no sign of the glares I saw earlier. And those are my minions. I have no idea what to do now, but it seems they have planned it all out already.

"Come on, Captain Amber," Ramona says dragging me out of my new coach's office. "We are going to the mall."

Okay, I can do this. How hard can being a cheerleader be? Well, I am soon to find out. My parents definitely owe me one.

A/N: She is now a cheerleader and the captain at that. I think that was expected. Lol... anyways, thanks for reading and I will update soon. Vote if you like and comment on the story on what you think of the book thus far. If you want to become a fan, you can simply follow me. Thanks a lot.
