The prayer
Caitlyn pov: (only one this chapter)
As Caitlyn approached the AP science room, Vi stopped her. โCupcake, want to eat lunch with us again today?โ
โAre you sure? I donโt wanna intrude.โ
โListen cupcake-youโre never intruding.โ
โIf you insist.โ
Caitlyn blushed a bit. The warm feeling spreading from the top of her head to the tips of her toes. She smiled a bit, pushing Vis shoulder lightly.
โYou knowโฆnow you canโt get rid of me.โ
โWasnโt planning on it cupcake.โ
In Science a few minutes after, Vi slid Caitlyn a note.
Vi: Iโm bored.
Cait: Alright?โฆhow am I meant to help?
Vi: no clue cupcake.
Cait: You need to use punctuation.
Vi: no need cupcake.
Cait: Violet, I will stop talking to you. Itโs bothering me.
Vi: Geez, fine.
Caitlyn: Thank you very much.
Vi: Sure thing Cupcake.

Caitlyn laughed a bit. Prof. Heimerdinger gave her an odd look but she apologized with her eyes, he nodded and continued teaching. As the periods went by Caitlyn was bouncing her foot up and down, which was a nervous habit of hers..that and biting her lips to the point they are chapped and bloody, Anyways..Caitlyn watched as the clock ticked by, the seconds counting down till lunch. As the bell rang she immediately closed her computer hastily and plugged it in. She then grabbed her bag and went to the cafeteria. She had no idea why she was so excited to eat lunch with
Vi- but she was.
As Caitlyn approached the gym, her nerves were on high. This was her first practice officially on the cheer team. She had done gymnastics and dance when she was little so it wouldnโt be completely out of her range. As she walked into the gym she couldnโt help but feel a bit insecure. Everyone around her was so short, she towered everyone. People stared at her like she was some type of anomaly, but eventually they went back to their conversations. The coach finally speaker up. โAlright girls- now that youโre warmed up letโs learn from cheers.โ People sighed but nodded and got to their spots, Caitlyn was directed to her new spot and given her Pom Poms. They leaned a few basic cheers- โGo team go.โ โGo fight win.โ Etc. They did a few
More complicated ones aswell. The cheer captain called it out. That part of practice lasted about half an hour. The rest of the hour would be used for dance and stunting. Cait was a back spot due to her height, the dance she was in the middle and or back depending on the part. As she started to pack up to go home- she saw Vi at soccer practice. All sweaty, muddy and tired, for some reason..Cait found it oddly attractive. Like the fact that she was so determined to play soccer- even in the rain. Caitlyn smiled to herself and walked to her car. As she drove home in the rain she turned on Spotify and connected it to her cars speakers. As Billie Eilish
started playing she hummed and sang along softly. She pulled up to the gates of her home and punched in the code.
As she parked the car and walked inside her mother welcomed her.
โWelcome back Caitlyn. Shower, Than homework. Now.โ
โYes maโam.โ
Caitlyn nodded and went upstairs, sighing as she plopped down on her bed. She rolled over and faced the popcorn high ceiling. She stood up and went to the bathroom, she got undressed and took her hair down. She stepped in the shower and washed her hair with her blueberry scented hair stuff. She then washed her body, she felt cleansed of the day. After she got in comfortable pajamas and do homework- she laid down in bed. As she tried falling asleep her thoughts always went back to Vi, did she like her?..well..as a friend yes. But she wasnโt aloud to love her romantically. It was wrong- her mother would be furious. Caitlyn shut her eyes tightly and tried to not cry at the thought of it. She curled up in a ball and eventually fell asleep.
As the next few weeks went by, Caitlyn tried to get rid of this wrong feeling. She tried everything, praying, praying and more praying. It didnโt work however..she tried to accept that fact, but it was hard. She couldnโt help but want to sit closer to Vi, brush hands with her, hug her. At the end of Lunch, Vi Approached her.
โHey Cupcake- so..I wanted to know if you would like uhm..fuckโฆto come hang out after school today?โ
