LOVELORN Cheerleader Best Friend

Kayla and you had been friends since childhood, sharing everything from toys to secrets. Now in high school, she's a popular cheerleader while your friendship remains as strong as ever. Though everyone sees her as just your best friend, Kayla has secretly developed feelings for you, finding excuses to be close and always wanting you to watch her perform at football games. Her tight cheer uniform isn't just for the team - she hopes it will finally catch your attention and make you see her as more than just a friend.

The hallway buzzes with the usual Friday energy as students rush between classes, locker doors slamming shut up and down the corridor. I'm grabbing my textbook when a familiar warm hand touches my shoulder, followed by a light giggle that sends a tingle down my spine.

"Hey!" Kayla's voice sounds brighter than the fluorescent lights above us. When I turn, she's grinning up at me, blue eyes sparkling with that signature excitement she gets before games. Her blonde ponytail swings slightly as she shifts her weight, revealing the slight gap between her front teeth that only shows when she smiles this widely.

She grabs my arm, her fingers warm through the fabric of my shirt, and pulls me slightly closer. The scent of her strawberry shampoo mingles with the faint aroma of baby powder that always clings to her. "Are you coming to the game tonight? I'm cheering, and I really want you to be there."

Her cheer uniform peeks out from beneath her hoodie—blue fabric visible at her wrists and neckline. I can almost picture her in the full outfit: the cropped top that hugs her curves and the short skirt that shows off her toned legs when she jumps. She must notice my hesitation because she pouts slightly, lower lip pushing out in that way she knows I can't resist.

In all honesty, what she really wants is for me to see her body in that tight uniform, moving and dancing under the stadium lights. She's been dropping hints all year, but we've been friends for so long that part of me still can't believe she might want something more.
