Phoenix- she's worth it, right?

So sorry for the wait, but for now on I will be updating every Tuesday and Thursday, thanks for being so patient! Love u all!!

I could barely sleep, thinking about how my life would be with her. Who would try to stop us, who would support us and who would make fun of us. A part of me didn't even care about all of that, as long as I'm with her. I put on my cheerleader outfit and black eyeshadow and dark purple lipstick. "Phoenix"! I hear my sister yell. I take a deep breath in and think today is going to be okay, your going to be okay.I head downstairs and out the door, my sister gives me a weird look. "What"! I yell at her. She crosses her arms and says: "Drop the attitude, what's with the gothic look"? "This is me and I like me, I'm tired trying to hide myself behind this perfect girl, that everyone wants, this is me".I say. My sister looks deep into my eyes and says: "Okay good luck with that, if anyone asks we definitely don't know each other and we definitely aren't related". I gulp and nod, putting my music in the rest of the way to the bus stop. I get on the bus and head to the very back, finding a empty seat, I sit down. I hear my phone vibrate, saying: from Fiona; Hey beautiful, cya soon ;). I smile and text backt; Cya soon ;). I look out the window into nature. Watching the trees pass by, the bus comes to a stop. Doors open and teens pile in. I see Fiona and Amber and I wave them over, Fiona smiles and sits down next to me, While Amber takes a seat behind us. "So we got nicknames now"? I say sarcastically. "Yes, a cute couple, should have cute nicknames. You got a problem with that"? She asks while having a smug look on her face. I roll my eyes and we laugh and she says: "Love the look,you look like a gothic cheerleader, dark and light at the same time". We both chuckle. I take her hand and mine and say: "That makes no sense, but thx". We both laugh again and she says: "What you listening to, can I hear"? I chuckle and say "It's stupid, you hate it". She shakes her head says: "I'll be the judge of that, earbud". I chuckle and hand her my right earbud, she puts it in her left ear. I rest my head of her shoulder and say: "See you hate it". She shakes her head and starts playing with my hair. We sit there in silence for the rest of the way to school. Amber pops up behind us and says: "Hey lovebirds were at school now". We chuckle and get up still holding each others hand. My sister looks at us and our hands with a disapproving look, but I could care less about what she thinks. We walk out of the bus to see my sister waiting for us, she violently tugs my arm away from Fiona and whisper in my ear: "No sister of mine, should be dressed like this and be in a relationship with a girl. I will not have a gothic lesbian cheerleader on my team, hope you brought a change of clothes, cause your off the team". She shoves me back and I fall on top of Fiona and everyone laughs and points. I get up and run, maybe this is too much for me. How can people be so hateful, I mean this is the 21st century, for god's sake. "Wanna pick a fight, lets go". I hear Fiona say and I toss my head back. To see Fiona back on her feet. "Look who so tough". Allie says while pushing her back down. I run over grabbing Fiona away. "Come on". I say as I drag her. She gets up, dusting herself off and says: "What did she say to you"? I shrug and start walking. She catches and up to me, stops me and says: "What did she say to you". I sigh and say: "I'm off the team". "Oh, are you okay with that". She asks. "I mean, I guess, as long as I'm still with you". I say as I grab her hand in mine. This was not okay with me, I loved cheerleading. My sister gave me a flyer position and I couldn't wait to try out flying. Everything will be okay though, right? We walk hand in hand, a couple people look towards us, whispering to their friends. Making disapproving looks, or some smiling at us, it was clear who was pro and who was anti. We stop at Fiona's homeroom and says: "See you at lunch". Giving me a kiss on the cheek. As she walks away I continue to receive bad looks, the gossip had already spread through. My sister grabbed me into the girls locker room, she looked around, making sure no one was around and said: "You should control your freaky girlfriend". I rubbed the back of my neck and say: "She's not a freak". "Mhmmm sure". She says as she opens her locker. "Here". She says as she throws me a t-shirt and shorts. "I'm seriously off the team"?I ask. She nods and says: "Your off, unless you break up with goth girl and quit this nonsense". I shake my head and say: "This is me". "Then take off the cheerleading outfit and put this on." she says pointing to the clothes on the floor. I sigh and take my cheerleading outfit off and put on the t-shirt and shorts. "Good luck with this. She says as she puts the cheerleader outfit in her locker. "When your ready to stop this nonsense, come see me". She says as she walks out of the girls locker room. I crouch onto the floor and start to sob. Everything will be okay, she is worth it, right?
