My group was number 6. Number 5 was in the auditorium auditioning. I could hear their voices echo inside the room. And damn was I sweating. I have to do the ONE thing I SUCK at the most in front of SPENCER? And his friends?! Eff my life. The girls exited the the other door. Our turn. I was in a group of three. Sophie, Brandi, and me. We lined up in front of a long table with the three boys I'm front of us. "Brandi, Sophie, and Payton.. Correct?" Andrew asked "MHMMM!" of course Brandi answered. Dude. Spencer was staring right at me. And my heart couldn't be pounding any harder. Brandi called the cheer as we began... Sorry short update... BUT IT'S ABOUT TO GET GOOD
They began.. And when they realized i didnt, they stopped. I was frozen. The girls and the boys began laughing hysterically. Even brandi! Tears started streaming down my face. I hated my life at that very moment. Hated Brandi. Hated Sophie. Hated all of them. I took off running out of the auditorium. Busted through the hall divider doors and nestled myself quietly beside and brick wall and just cried silently. I heard the door on the other side of the brick wall open and shut behind someone. "Payton...?" It was spencer. He followed me? Why? "Are you okay?!" "Spencer why are you here? To laugh at me again?!" "I wasn't laughing at you payton.. I'd never laugh at you?" "Why? I'm not perfect like Brandi or Sophie or any of those other girls. I'm not a good cheerleader or popular or rich. Im nothing. I wouldn't blame you." "Payton don't you get it? You're beautiful. It doesn't matter if you're a cheerleader, or rich. You're Payton and that's all that matters." That was so effin sweet! So he did like me... . I smiled at him. My tears had stopped the moment he came through the door. He made me feel... Complete. "Payton?" he snapped me out of my thoughts. "mhmm?" " have lunch with me Thursday? In the back of the school under the old oak tree?" He was asking me out... I stuttered to answer... "y-yy-yes." "Want me to walk you to your car?" "Please?" We got to my car and I unlocked and opened the door. I turned back to him. He pushed my side swoop bang out of my face so he could see my eyes. "bye beautiful. Drive save" and he walked away. Spencer Wall just called me beautiful.
