chapter eight

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Next!" Kenzie complained, as she leant her head back on her chair, her chestnut curls hanging off the edge. She rolled her eyes. Nobody at tryouts had been any good, and what was a cheer captain without a team? It wasn't like Kenzie could focus anyway, no matter how hard she tried she couldn't seem to keep the soft touch of Johnny off her mind. And it annoyed her, she wanted him out off her head as fast as he had riddled his way in there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Kenzie lifted her head up and straightened her posture, putting on a big fake smile for the next girl who walked in. The girl excitedly hopped over, a huge, genuine, smile on her face and as soon as Kenzie saw her, her smile dropped and her eyes held a deadly stare. She could recognise those mysterious green eyes and mop of blonde hair anywhere. Annie, who was sat next to Kenzie looked at her and bit her lip, knowing something bad was to come out of this.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Hi." The bubbly blonde beamed. "I'm Lauren-"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Orlando." Kenzie finished, gritting her teeth.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The girls - Lauren's - smile widened, if that was even possible. "You know me?" She gushed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Kenzie crossed her arms, resting in her seat. "It's not a good thing sweetie." Her honey eyes had lit up into burning flames. Lauren knitted her brows, perplexed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Why not?" She puzzled.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Kenzie cleared her throat, leaning forward. "You're Johnny's sister, right?" Lauren nodded, her blonde ponytail bobbed as she did so, her smile had now faded. Kenzie gave a tight smile.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I think that says enough." She shot. "Next!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Lauren stared at her, tears biting at the corners of her bright eyes. "But I didn't even-"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I don't care." Kenzie snapped. "Get out."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Lauren turned around and ran out of the gym, tears rolling down her pink cheeks. Kenzie rested her head in her hands. Annie pursed her lips together, contemplating whether to say anything. "Don't you think that was a little harsh Kenz-"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Ugh I don't care!" Kenzie yelled, agitated and raising her head from it's resting position. "I hate anyone related to Johnny just as much as I hate him."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Kenzie sighed. She couldn't do this right now. "You know what cheer tryouts are done for the day."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀She was too overwhelmed and drowning in her own thoughts to continue, and seeing Lauren had just made everything worse. She stood up, shoving her chair towards the table. She hastily wiped her hands on her skimpy cheer skirt.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I'll see you all tomorrow." She muttered as she grabbed her stuff and walked out the door. She couldn't be bothered getting changed, she just had to get home and away from anything that reminded her of that blonde haired devil. She stomped to the front of the school.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Shit." Kenzie murmured to herself as she realised she had arranged for her driver to pick her up at 5:00 and from what she was aware of it was only just coming on 4:30. And she had lost her phone so she couldn't call him. She took a heavy sigh, placing her palms over her face.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Ah Mackenzie did cheer tryouts end early?" A manly voice chuckled.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Kenzie turned around her eyes locking with Johnny's.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀✨⭐️✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[ a/n aw I feel bad for lauren aha. kenzie really is a bitch lmao. but yay some jenzie may be coming 😉 ]
