Thank you so much for all the reviews and alerts! They really made my day (:. Some of you have been asking for a Jatie kiss! That will come I promise you but there are a hundred of these lessons and I have only gotten to the seventh. Baby steps, baby steps! Also, sorry it has been so long but I went on vacation so I have had zero time.

This idea was sprouted by xLittleMx so special shoutout to her/him! Enjoy:

Katie POV:

I was reading my magazine contently, my feet wading in the pool when I was splashed by three teenage boys who jumped in right near me.

After they had resurfaced they all surrounded me by my feet. I rolled my eyes.

"So Katie, I hear your friend Abby is trying out for cheer." James smiled dreamily.

I scoffed. "James, I have had her over once and now you are all over her. Its kind of revolting."

I was NOT jealous okay...

"Oh ya isnt Lexi trying out too?" Kendall drooled.

"Ooh and Shay?" Logan piped up.

I rolled my eyes. The boys were all obsessed with my friends and it was really annoying me.

"Yes they are signing up for cheer. Congradulations, you can now watch them flip in tiny skirts. You guys are really disgusting."

James nodded and high-fived Kendall.

"But guess what? Since they will be on the cheer team they will practically never be over at our apartment anymore. So HAH!" I laughed and stood up from my spot by the pool to go back up to the apartment. But I was stopped by James voice.

"But, lets say you were on the cheer team, they would always be over for team sleepovers right?"

I nodded, not seeing where this was going. "Well I guess so but do I look like the kind of girl that would be caught dead wearing a cheer suit and sending out team spirit through cheesy chants? Its all so degrating. Um no thank you."

Kendall sighed. "C'mon Katie take one for the team. Try out for cheer."

Logan splashed me a little. "Please Katie! Its my only way to get close to Shay!"

I can't believe them! This is all so ridiculous...

Just then, who passes by but my very own mother.

I am having such great luck today!

"Whats this about cheer?" she asked, stopping right near us from her jog.

James smiled at me. "We all think it would really enhance Katie's outlook on school if she tried out for cheer. After all, she lacks in team spirit and if you look at her PE grades lately, they are very low. What harm could it do to get a little bit of school credit and be involved in a team effort?"

Did that deep thought just come from James mouth...?

My mom thought about it. "That is a great idea James! Katie you are trying out for cheer. And since this is such a small school, I promise you will get in! I am so proud of you sweetie."

"But mom!" I complained.

"Either join cheer or chess club."

I pondered this for a second then crossed my arms. "Fine!"

My mom then patted me on the head contently and jogged away.

I turned back to the boys who all wore sheepish grins. I snarled at them.

"Sure, I'll join cheer! Because Kendall I bet you would love a ton of highschool guys staring at my ass and trying to see under my skirt as I do a flip."

Kendall shrugged. "As long as they don't try anything I could really care less."

Dang it! My 'scare Kendall' tactic didn't work...

I sighed and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Logan questioned.

"Cheer auditions, thanks to you."

Katies POV still

Cheer auditions sucked. The only people who tried out in our small school were my circle of friends, Jessica, and Jessica's new bff. The whole time consisted of me falling on my face about twenty times, Jessica and her new best friend Kayla sending me glares, and Abby trying to teach me the dance, so I didn't embarrass myself. Oh wait, too late for that! Then, to top it all off, Coach Gleam announced that we all had made it and everyone squealed, jumping up and down hugging eachother. I mean, how stupid is that? If we were all going to make it in the first place, why the heck did we have cheer auditions?

Yep, I was about ready to kill Kendall, Logan, and James. Twice.

When I told my mom about my 'sucess', she was delited and exclaimed how I was finally the daughter she always wanted. Way to boost my self esteem mom! Of course, Carlos made fun of me, but I could never be mad at that guy. James, Kendall, and Logan were delighted because now they could hang out with us while the girls slept over here. NOT going to happen by the way.

I don't get why James is so obsessed with Abby. I mean, what does she have that I don't? Sure, take away her humor, knowledge, charm, hygiene, popularity, pleasantness, talent, and positive attitude and what are you left with? A goregous girl who is extremely wealthy. Right. I don't stand a chance against her.

So, tommorow the new squad is having the 'cheerleading orientation' sleepover, and mom agreed to have it at our apartment seeing as she will be gone tommorow night for some interview downtown.

The next night

"There!" I exclaimed happily, standing up.

I had just finished perfectly smoothing the last sleeping bag. For the past freaking thirty minutes, I had set up the living room for the sleepover. I had set up 7 sleeping bags that were all perfectly smoothed, not a wrinkle on them. Then I had thrown a bunch of pillows around to make the atmosphere comfier. I had some wheat chips, butterless popcorn, diet soda, and a stack of girly movies.

*Buzz Buzz* I looked at my phone:

14 New Messages: Kyle

I rolled my eyes and tossed my phone on the couch. He had been texting me all day but I didn't care. I was ignoring him.

Four extremely loud and rowdy boys raced through their bedroom door and jumped over the couch, piling ontop of eachother and rolling on to the ground. I rolled my eyes. Kendall stood up and jumped onto the couch, lounging across it.

"So Katie, when are all your hot friends coming?"

I rolled my eyes again and started to re-smooth the now wrinkled sleeping bag that Kendall had fallen on. "Any second now, but guess what? You guys are going to stay in your rooms tonight. I don't want you bugging my friends!"

Carlos scoffed " You can't tell us what to do! We are older than you."

I sent him an 'excuse me' look and he flinched squealing "I'm sorry Katie! Please don't hurt me."

*Buzz Buzz*

Kendall picked up my phone from the couch and handed it to me. I pocketed it quickly. "Whos Kyle and why do you have 15 messages from him?" Kendall asked suspiciously.

I glared at him. "No one and its none of your business!"

James and I exchanged a glance but I just shrugged and gave my phone an annoyed look.

Just then a knock came from the door and I jumped up to open it. All the girls trailed in.

Okay, doesn't that only happen in movies that everybody arrives at the same time? How cliche...

"Hey girls!" I forced a smile. They were all wearing their cheer uniforms. Wow, just wow.

They all waved and skipped into the room, claiming their spots on the sleeping bags. Kendall, James, Logan, and Carlos were all smiling cheesily like idiots.

"Hey Lexi!" Kendall smiled happily

Lexi gave him a look "Hey Kendall"

Gag...

It had been an hour into the sleepover and the guys had totally taken over the party. Kelsey, Lexi, and Lilly were playing a game of monopoly with Carlos and Kendall. Logan was drinking some soda and chatting up Shay on the couch. Jessica and Kayla were playing dance dance revolution and almost forgot to send me their glares, but still shot me a few in between songs. And James and Abby were no where to be seen.

I honestly didn't mind at all that the boys had taken over the party, because obviously the guests were entertained and I didnt even have to put in any fake effort! The only thing that was really bothering me was the fact that I couldn't find either Abby or James.

Jabby. Or Ames. Yuck! Thats just a bad combination. I can't even see them being together...

I was snapped from my thoughts when I heard my name being called.

"Katie do you have any paper towels? I spilled my drink!" Shay muttered.

I nodded and went to the cabinet under the sink, but they weren't there.

I turned to Kendall, who was still at the table playing monopoly. "Kendall, do we have any paper towels?"

"Oh ya, its in James and my room, I spilled something earlier today..."

I nodded and skipped over to his room, but I stopped as I heard a giggle. James and Abby were in there.

I breathed in deeply and cracked the door open slightly to see what they were doing. Abby was perched on his bed and James was sitting right beside her, his hand cupped on her chin. I watched in horror as he leaned forward, slowly reaching her lips. I closed the door and felt tears welling up in my eyes. It felt as if the whole world was spinning. I just needed to be alone and cry . Yes, I needed to let all these tears of embarassment and disapointment flood out.

I dashed to my room, as quietly as possible and jumped onto my bed, tears streaming down my face. My head was buried into a pillow and I let out a scream.

Why was I so stupid? Its not even right to act like this! Get yourself together Katie! You and James don't even have anything so you can't care that he is kisssing other girls!

I kept trying to convince myself this, but I still felt as if the whole world was laughing at me right now. As if the whole world was chuckling and saying "Stupid Katie! The little sister that had a crush on her brothers best friend. How silly that she is crying over something she never had! How embarassing that one of her best friends is so much more grown up and goregous than her yet she thinks she even has a chance at winning over James' heart. What a stupid little girl! How pathetic is she that she is hiding away at her own sleepover because she saw her one-sided crush kissing another girl."

I let tears fall down my face and just lay there, silent and still on my bed, letting all these thoughts eat up my mind, and overtake my surrendered presence. I jumped up and wiped away my tears as I heard a light knock on the door.

"Come in." I cleared my throat, trying not to sound as if I was completely shattered.

Logan entered through, a sympathetic look on his face. "Hey hun."

I half glared at him, feeling to pathetic to be annoyed that he was trying to talk to me. "What do you need Logan?"

Logan sighed and sat down on my bed. "I'm sorry that you saw James with Abby. I know it must be hard for you."

I looked up now from my pillow "What do you mean? Did everybody notice I was gone?"

Logan shook his head. "Nobody noticed, just I did. And I also noticed that you and James have a connection. Don't deny it Katie, you know its true."

I shook my head and buried my face into my pillow "That's bull Logan. I don't have a clue what your talking about."

"Whatever. I know you two have something special Katie. And I just wanted to remind you, that you can never give up on James. Tables turn every day and you may not see it now, but you are such a special girl Katie. And you deserve someone who knows that. So don't just give up because of James and Abby."

I shook my head again. "Again, I have no clue what you are talking about."

I know I was lying, but what else could I say?

Logan nodded sympathetically and smoothed a strand of my hair "I just wanted to let you know. Check before you fall."

And with that he left.

*Buzz Buzz*

I checked my phone. 16 messages from Kyle.

But this time I didn't ignore it. This time I opened the text.

From:Kyle

Sent:11:04 pm

Message: Hey K. Its me again. Plz reply babe! I am sry I was way outta line. I just want a second chance ):

I rolled my eyes, wanting to punch Kyle in the face again. But then I thought about it, and I wanted to punch James in the face more than Kyle. So this time, I pushed the reply button.

What now James! Honestly, what do I do know?

I know that this one was a little depressing but they can't always have a perfect chippery ending now can they? (: Please give me ideas in either a review or a pm because I REALLY need some right now.

Want to make my day? Review!
