I'm worse at what I do best, and for this gift I feel blessed. Our little group has always been, and always been until the end... (Always Open.).

Lillian: "Oh wow, you must be amazing! I've only been seriously playing for two years, not to mention I'm only a freshman. Do you think you could give me a few pointers now?"

Anastasia - I close my eyes. I was never good at confrontation, that was what had put me in cheering to begin with. "Mr. Alkson," I sigh. "What if that isn't me, then I wouldn't be the best ME I could be... I would be the best someone else I could be."

Hayden: "Sure...in soccer or basketball?" I asked since, there were balls roaming around of each.

Lillian: "Hm..basketball and then soccer maybe? My parents say I have energy for days."

Alkson: I sit back in my chair and close my eyes. "Well, does being the best you you can be involve you hanging out with people who will drag you down?"

Hayden: "That's good, since the coaches like long practices and hard work. What part of basketball do you need the most help with? Offense? Defense? Shooting?"

Anastasia - "They're people to," I say. "They deserve to have friends, to have a life."

Lillian: I smile "Maybe a bit of all three?"

Alkson: I smile and lean over her. "How much exactly do you know about them?"

Anastasia - I curse myself out in my mind, "Just that they are hated by most people and that they don't socialize." I lie hoping to god he will believe. I shrink back in my chair. He intimidates me and I feel as if he's invading my personal space.

Alkson: "Mhm...you mean that you didn't know they kill peope? Everyone seems to know that."

Anastasia - I looked down at the ground, "So does Penelope," I say without thinking then freeze.

Hayden: "The best way to learn is to try it, so try and steal the ball from me," I dribbled a basketball up and down the court, adjusting to match her with every move.

Lillian: After a while of pretending to be caught off guard by her, I get bored. I easily snatch the ball from her and dribble away, shooting for the hoop farthest away and making it. Human sports are so meaningless. "Was that good?" I ask.

Alkson: I laugh. "Oh, that silly rumor again! Don't tell me you actually believe that. Tell me, dies she stab them? Poison them? Shoot them in their sleep?"

Anastasia - "No, but she works them to death," I look into his eyes. They're cold, uncaring. They scare me.

Alkson: "Is there any proof? Maybe she's just doing her jib as captain and trying to make her team perfect?"

Anastasia - "Perfection isn't everything," I gulp. He was really making me nervous.

Hayden: I blinked, did she really just do that? But I shrugged it off. "Not bad for an amateur. And looks like you have nor problem with shooting..."

Lillian: "Hiw about we play horse then? Winner has to buy the loser snacks?"

Anastasia - By now the tears are falling from my eyes quickly.

Alkson: She's right. It's the only thing. "Well then, Anastasia, if you really feel that way, how about you become the new head cheerleader? It seems as though Penelope is no longer interested."

Anastasia - I froze. "I... I can't," I say. If I did I wouldn't have time to hang out with Jenks. I thought about what I could do, what I could change, "Wait, what would I have to do?"

Hayden: "Alright," I smirked. This would be a piece of cake. I shot from the half court line - and made it.

Alkson: "Yoi'd have to over see all of the cheerleaders, make sure everything stays in line, push them to her best, and..." I narrow my eyes. "There is a certain thing you'll have to undergo. But rest assure, all of my heads have done it as well as many of your fellow students.

Lillian: I try not to yawn as I easily make the same shot. "Next?"

Anastasia - "What is the thing?" I asked nervously, I didn't trust him.

Hayden: "You won, so you go -" I passed her the ball. That's how I played horse.

Alkson: "Just a few...surgical procedures."

Lillian: "Oh, ok." I dribble the ball before flinging it at the other wall. It comes slingshottig back into the back board, where it starts spinnging around the rim before going in.
