When school was over Evee called us an Uber.

I knew Sophie would be too busy with the team to actually try and come find me.

"I guess I won't be meeting your aunt then." Evee said slightly annoyed "Sophie just had to go and ruin everything"

"Actually maybe we can go  do something with her.."

Evee's smiled a little "really?"

"Yeah, I know she'll be happy to meet yoou. I'm hungry. We should pick up some pizza and snacks and chill at my house... like a little fuck Sophie party"

" sounds like the best party I've ever been too" Evee laughed.

I texted my aunt telling her to meet me in the upstairs den as we pulled up in the yard.

"Damn, I hope you're not expecting to eat all that and cheer for the game" My aunt chuckled.

I walked into the room with 3 pizza boxes stacked in my hands and 4 bags of snacks in each arm.

I chuckled "I'm not going."

When Evee came in carrying the drinks my Aunts eyes automatically shifted to her.

"Hi" Evee blushed setting the drinks down on the coffee table.

"And you must be the one who poured car wash water on my niece" my aunt chuckled putting her hands on her hips.

Evee looked at me like she wanted to run. I threw my hands up. "I didn't tell her I swear"

"That's me" Evee chuckled continuing to blush.

"Do you hate black people too?" My aunt asked without blinking.

I gave her a look "really?"

"Hey, I'm not sure what type of people you associate with anymore" she shrugged.

"N-no ma'am" Evee blushed "I'm not racist like my cousin."

My aunt gave me a look, I knew it meant we were going to have a talk later. I never told her they were cousins.

She smiled over at Evee "you don't have to call me ma'am honey, im not old yet"

Three minutes after that Evee tapped me. "I think I left some stuff in your room can you help me get it"

"Ughhh sure" I said confused as fuck.

As soon as I closed the door behind me she turned towards me.

"You still have that joint from earlier right?"

I have her a look.

"Don't look at me like that. I haven't smoked all day because you didn't want me to.  But 1. Your aunt is freaking me out, and you know I have social anxiety 2. We have an ass of food, everything taste better when you're high."

I chuckled "bae is fine"

I took her into my backyard and handed her the joint.

She dug into her bra and pulled out a lighter.

"Damn. Baby" I giggled "please don't light my titties on fire"

She smiled "oh these are your titties?" She asked hitting the blunt.

"Duh there mine." I said grabbing her waist and kissing on her chest.

She blushed hard "baeee stop, what if somebody can see us?"

"Then I guess this is goodbye" I laughed.

She giggled a little and shook her head. " Your parents are fucked up for that but I promise you my family would be worst."

"And you're still okay with coming out?"

"Yep because even if they try to ship me off, them knowing I'm gay and there's nothing they can do about it is worth it.... plus if they try me I'll just out Sophie. That bitch knew I liked you first anyway"

I hit the blunt "how do you know that?"

"Because that's just Sophie"

"Ughh are we talking about her again?" My aunt said coming out of the sliding door.

I freaked out. I know it smelled like gas out there.

I hid the blunt behind my back.

She walked right up to me and held her hand out.

Fuck.

I gave it to her. I swear my bottom lip almost hit the floor when she actually hit the blunt.

My aunt scoffed "don't act like I'm some old frumpy adult. You know I wasnt  a teenager that long ago."

"But, how did you-"

"I know code words for 'I need to hit a blunt' when I hear them." She said hitting it again.

"Is this the rotation?" She asked holding it out for Evee.

Evee looked like she saw a ghost. She just nodded and took it.

"Y'all gonna stop acting like I'm Miss Hanigin, or the Grunchable." My aunt said in the middle of Evee hitting the blunt.

She choked on her smoke laughing.

"Thank you, at least I have someone to laugh at my jokes now" my aunt laughed watching Evee choke.

I'm pretty sure we all came back in the house high as fuck.

My aunt went into her purse and pulled out a bottle of green apple flavored vodka.

"See, since y'all tried to sneak and smoke without me.. I should drink all this myself... but I'm better then that"

"I love your aunt" Evee whispered.

I guess I looked like I thought it was a trap.

Aunt Tasha laughed "what? I rather y'all drink with me in the house then get drunk at some party somewhere."  She said handing Evee the bottle

"But first I gotta eat a slice of pizza cause I got the muchies like a bitch"

Evee took a long swig walking over to the pizza too.

We never even got to the movie we ended up eating,  and drinking, and gossiping.

"I like you wayyyy better then Sophie" my aunt said painting flowers on Evee's toenails.

Evee smiled "thank you. hopefully your niece will say the same thing."

They both looked over at me. I looked up from putting the top coat on my nails.

"How could anybody not think so?" My aunt said.

Evee laughed "trust me, it's rare, everybody knows how much of a bitch she is... for instance, she knew that I liked her so she did everything in her power to get her first. And actually did" Ever said glaring at me.

"Well you have her now right? Honestly it's kinda weird to me that y'all are just passing Samayah off, but that's none of my business."

Evee laughed. "You're right, I do have her now..."

"You know what?" My aunt said sitting up, you should show her off. Not going to the game is letting Sophie win.  Make her regret her mistake like pretty woman. Big mistake, huge."

Evee's eyes lit up. Fuck that's not a good idea.

Before I could talk them out of it they were going through my closet trying to find a sexy outfit.

Then we were in the car.

We ended up walking onto the bleachers during half time. Our team was losing as usual. We found seats near the top of the bleachers, it was my aunts and Evee's idea to make sure Sophie saw me in the crowd.

Honestly I had a bad feeling about this.

As soon as the players lined up to hike the ball the cheerleaders hopped up ready to start again.

"S-E-ALS" I watched Sophie cheer she wasn't as good at pretending to be abnormally excited tonight.

Through that forced smile I could tell she just wanted to walk off the field.

"S-E-ALS" her eyes landed on me. She looked like a deer caught in headlights. Her big blue eyes sat on me for a second like she didn't know what to do.

She tried to shake it off and keep doing the cheer focusing her eyes on people in the crowd. But no matter how much she tried, she couldn't stop peaking at me.

I glared at her as I watched her perform.

"The seals are the best!

We always pass the test

We're cooler then the rest

And the Harnets are a p- aahhhh!"

The audience gasped as Sophie's foot landed wrong and she  fell off the pyramid.

Everything went completely silent. The football players even completely stopped playing.

"Oooewwww! Oh my fucking god!! It burnnnnnssss!" Sophie yelled holding her leg. She looked annoyed as fuck but also in a lot of pain.

The medic came running. Sophie's parents rushed past us down the bleachers.

Her dad tried to help the medic, help her onto the bed.

"Get your fucking hands off of me!" She hissed at him.

Her mom ran up helping instead.

She looked at me with tears in her eyes as they tried to help her.

We were suppose to be coming just to rub me in her face but we ended up watching her get put in the ambulance.

I couldn't help but to feel like it was my fault. I feel like I looked at her so hard I made it happen. I know it's unreasonable but, I didn't want her to actually get hurt.

I looked over at Evee freaking out. She was smirking. That shit made my stomach turn. In that moment I realized. She isn't any better then Sophie. She wasn't worried about her at all.

The ride home was kinda quiet.

"Damn" my aunt said breaking the silence. "I just wanted her to see what she was missing out on. I didn't want her to get hurt."

I swallowed hard. I don't know why I thought I could just turn off my feelings, but her sitting there holding her leg literally screaming in pain definitely got to me.



I stayed up most of the night worried about Sophie. I can't tell you why. I wish I wasn't. I wish I could be cold like Evee and enjoy the fact that for once Sophie got what she deserves.. but instead I ended up calling her at 1 am.

I debated hanging up as the phone rung. I don't want her to think she has control over me.

"Hello?" She picked up after the forth ring.

I was quiet for a second. "Are you okay?"

"Well, I fucking snapped my leg like a twig but other then that.."

"I know, it's crazy"

"What's crazy is that I looked up and saw you in the crowd seconds before it happened. Why were you there Samayah? You told me you weren't coming."

"And I wasn't. Me, my aunt and Evee got lit together and decided we should come to the game...... to rub me in your face."

"Wow, that so classy Samayah"

"Let's not talk about classy. You had a whole crazy ex thing going on and your not even my ex"

She scoffed. "Whatever Samayah. At this point why did you even call me? To rub yourself in my face more? Might as well just break my other leg"

"Fine. Goodnight" I said getting annoyed.

"Wait!"

She better be glad she said that quick my finger was hovering right over the end call button.

"Mayah.. we have to put our differences asside. I need your help... the team needs your help"

I rolled my eyes.

"I told you I'm not on the team"

"And I was going to leave you alone about it but my I have a broken leg... I need you to lead in the Nationals competition"

"Wha- what the fuck? Sophie.. no, I can-"

"Yes you can. I spent more alone time practicing the routines with you then anybody else."

"Yea, you did that for a reason. Because I was hot ass remember?"

"You weren't hot ass when you auditioned for the team... or when we kept training one on one. You have the whole routine down.. if you need to you can come by and we can run through it in the morning."

"No, I don't need it. Because I'm not doing it"

"Samayah please! If you don't do this for me it's going to be the first time in 10 years our school didn't win in first place"

"And who said we'd win if I'm the captain?"

"Me."

I could hear a slight smile in her voice.

"You don't deserve for me to help you"

"Fine, then do it for the squad.. or for the school.. or shit for yourself! Please Mayah"

I sighed "I'll see you at 9am" I said before hanging up.

I laid back in the bed. I felt dizzy like the room was spinning. There's so much weight on my shoulders. My first time being alone with Sophie again since our argument, Evee's not going to like this, my aunts going to hate it.. me cheer captain? What if I can't do it? What if I break my leg too? We'd be two broke leg bitches.

I sighed. Maybe I should call Evee and tell her... but I was just on the phone with her an hour ago, I hung up because she kept dosing off.

My phone dinged

Sophie: thank you so much ❤️




I regretted agreeing to it the next morning. I showered and got dressed, then made my way over there early so I could tell Evee what's going on and Try to convince her not to Kill me.

"Babyyy you're here early" She said excited to see me. She wrapped her arms and legs around me as I laid on top of her.

"Don't be mad okay?" I said looking into her eyes. She looked at me like that triggered her fight or flight.

"Don't look at me like that." I groaned.

" tell me what's going on and then I'll decide how to look at you"

"I'm doing nationals"

"So you're talking to Sophie again?"

How did I know that was going to be her first response?

"Bae I just called to make sure she was okay"

"She broke her leg, it's not like her fucking major organs started shutting down"

I bit my lip.

"She kinda made me temporary Captain"

Evee's eyes went big. "That's awesome baby"

I blushed a Little "so will you come cheer me on? I'm nervous as fuck"

"Duh!" She smiled "I'm excited for you.. I wish you didn't talk to Sophie but still"

I kissed all over her face. "Thank you baby.. I gotta go to practice"

She whined "you just got here"

"I know baby, but we'll have all night together... and hopefully we'll be celebrating"

I went to get off the bed but she grabbed my hand.

"You can do it Mayah.. seriously you're so good."

I didn't tell her where I was practicing or with who. I knew she would've been pissed that I was in the room alone with Sophie.

I came in and Sophie was all bundled up in the bed dramatically, like she was s as middle aged mom  on life alert. Her leg was propped up on some pillows in a baby pink cast. She had a snack tray with fruit, cheese and crackers by her bed.

She sat up when she me. Her baby pink satin robe fell off of her a little showing her shoulder. Her turquoise bra flashed at me.

"Good morning cutie" She flirted before sipping on one of her mom's infamous gourmet smoothies.

"Hey, so the part I'm most worried about it the spin-off after   'To the ground'" I said getting in stance.

Sophie smiled "What's the rush? We have plenty of time to practice... don't you want to sign my cast... or sip My smoothly"

We both knew by 'sip my smoothie' she did not mean a drink.

"No I'm not here to flirt and chat. I'm here to practice"

"Ughhh Fine fine." She said sitting all the way up. Her robe slid down to her elbows exposing her turquoise bra and bare skin.

I swallowed hard looking away. I hate to admit it but she made my clit throb. 

She giggled a little "you don't have to look away silly.. you've seen all this before.. and more"

I glared at her "do you want to win or not? Because I have routines I need to practice"

She rolled her eyes getting out of bed. Every time she lugged her cast her rob opened exposing her legs.

I tried my best not to look.. I really did.  She sat at the foot of her bed.

"Ready? 5,6,7,8"

We practiced until I felt more comfortable with the routines.

"You know I broke my leg because of you?" Sophie asked sitting on the edge of her bed. She patted the spot next to her for me to sit down.  I was definitely tired so I sat.

"Don't  blame me for that"

"I'm not blaming you... it was all my fault. When i saw you in the crowd i got distracted. You just looked so beautiful and I wanted to be happy you were there but then I started thinking about our argument... and how mad you looked., how stupid I responded. And how much you probably hated me.  I started feeling guilty as fuck.. and I couldn't focus on the routine I just wanted to run up the Bleachers and tell you how sorry I was " she laughed. "Me.. being egar to apologize... that like never happens.. but i guess you got what you wanted.."

"No. Yea I wanted to rub myself in your face , but I never wanted you to get hurt... I wouldn't wish that on you Sophie". I looked at her hoping she could see that I was serious.

Her big blue eyes searched mine.

She started leaning in.

Fuck. No Samayah, you can't do this. You can't kiss her. You're with Evee.

I backed up a little and she looked at me funny.

She tried again and I stopped her.

She looked at me for a good second. "Who are you fucking?"

"What?" I asked confused as fuck.

"Samaya you can't say no to me.. like ever. Who are you fucking?"

"That's none of your business." I said hoping up quickly. "Let's go over crouching tiger one more time. I feel great about everything else but not so confident about that one."

She squinted at me watching me ramble.

I can't tell her I'm with Evee, that will start a whole nother thing I'm not ready for.

"Whoever it is, is clearly a downgrade even with my broken leg or your wouldn't be trying to keep her ugly ass a secret"

And here we go.

"You don't know what you're talking about but I'm not having this conversation with you, so you can think what you want."

"And I will. She's clearly a pussy if I can't know about her. Because I'm sure she knows we were a thing."

If only She knew who it was.. but part of me thinks if she did she'd be even worse.





I was already feeling anxious before, but when we arrived at the competition my stomach turned. This is it. We're either going to win and the whole school will be lit, or we'll lose and I won't want anybody to ever look at me for the rest of my life.

I was freaking out on the inside as a lead warm up.

" we are so happy you're back" Rebecca said as we held our stretches

" don't say that just yet" I chuckled nervously.

Watching the competition didn't make me feel any better. They were all really good, but I guess it be weird if they weren't since it is nationals after all.

"Next up is the Prisdale seals!" The announcer announced.

I swallowed hard.

"You got this" Sophie was right behind me but it sounded like she was talking through a tunnel.

As the crowd clapped I lead my squad out with a burst of energy. I acted the most excited I've ever acted in my life. Out of the corner of my eye could see pom-poms tussling and legs kicking up as we got into our stance.

Honestly we were so hyped coming out that we amped up the crowd and had to wait for them to quiet down to start the routine.

I Took a deep breath before starting the routine

"Row row row You're boat." I said mimicking paddle movements with my Pom Poms.

The girls in the row behind me joined in, then the girls behind them, until the whole squad was singing it.

"Life is but a dream"

I waited until the rows behind me finished the song.

"SEALS" we said in unison

We stood there in our ending  stance and the crowd waited anticipating what we were going to do next.

When our music came on and our routine really kicked off the crowd started going crazy.

Sophie was standing on the sidelines as close as  possible.

I could see my aunt, and parents, and Evee watching the performance.

Evee and my Aunt were dancing to the music and mimic the moves they knew.

The crowd was going so crazy it was tempting to turn around and looked behind me. But I resisted and I know my team was tearing it up. I could only imagine how good all the flips and towers and bridges looked going on behind me.

I got into my ending stance as the song started to end. The crowd lost control When Chelsea flip through the air and was caught at the end of the song.

I had to wait for them to quiet down again.

"Are were the Dolphins? No! are we the eels? No! Yeah we're the SEALS! The
