Zoe and Zelda kept walking, but Athena stopped and turned. Looking towards the football field, she saw Sarah McMillan pointing directly at her. She smiled. At first, she wasn't exactly sure why, but then it suddenly clicked. She was chosen. Sarah actually picked her to be part of the squad.
"Athena?" Zoe asked, turning around once she realized that her friend wasn't walking with her and Zelda anymore. "What's wrong?"
Athena turned and looked at her friends. Zoe and Zelda noticed something strange about her right away. She was smiling. Yes, Athena did smile now and then. But this smile was different. It was a pleasant, almost bubbly smile. Like the ones that were plastered on the faces of those cheerleader bimbos.
"Athena?" Zoe asked again, this time getting worried, as she walked towards her friend. "What's wrong with you?"
"Wrong? Nothing's wrong. In fact, everything's right." She smiled, then starting hopping up and down in excitement. "I got picked!"
"Picked? Picked for what?" Zelda asked.
"For cheerleading!" Athena nearly yelled with excitement.
Zoe and Zelda exchanged worried glances. Had Athena lost her mind? They hated the cheerleaders and everything they stood for.
They looked back at Athena, but she was no longer there. She was running towards the football field. What the fuck was wrong with her?
Sarah took the blindfold off momentarily to see who she picked. She smiled, seeing that it was one of those Goth freaks. She was hoping that she'd snag one of them. Revenge really was sweet.
Athena ran towards the cheerleading squad with happy excitement. Sarah would make sure she did everything she could to make the girl's transition into the popular crowd and the cheerleading squad as easily as possible. It was a pleasure to turn one of those freaks into a proper girl.
She put the blindfold back on and then spun around. After she was thoroughly dizzy, she stopped and pointed.
