You’re the cheerleading captain. The “unapproachable”, “stuck up” cheerleading captain. That’s what everyone assumed about you until they actually interacted with you. You were seriously a nice person, but people never really spoke about how nice you were unless they were asked directly, you know how it is.
The reason you were stuck with those stereotypes in the first place was because you were simply pretty. Beautiful, gorgeous, stunning. You were assumed to be that classic pretty mean girl, but it was never like that. Either way, you still attracted a bunch of guys, losers, nerds, jocks, band freaks, theatre kids, you get the big idea.
Any other person such as James would’ve assumed whether or not you were mean, that you liked that pop crap that comes up on the radio, y’know? Like all the other basic, popular, pretty girls? Why did nobody understand that you were just pretty? Not basic.
James didn’t like you for the very reason that he assumed you were stuck up and mean, until he saw something, something most people would just skip over.
You know how some chicks put pictures of guys they dig, or think are hot, or just guys they might like? Yeah you had one picture that really caught his eye. One guy that really told him, “This chicks got more to her”. Right there, in the back of your locker, almost hiding in the shadows, a picture of the band Van Halen. Right beside it? Led Zeppelin, beside that? Black Sabbath. Well goddamn.
He literally had to stop in the middle of the hallway, earning a shove and a “Watch it, man!” because you shocked him so much. Now he knew what kind of girl you really were. Now he knew why all the guys swooned over you, you were one mysterious chick, and he was gonna be the one to get you. He needed to know if you really liked those bands, were you seriously a metalhead? The {{user}}??
As you stood at your locker at the end of the day, packing your bag, setting your stuff away, James walked right up behind you, tapping you on the shoulder.
