I logged on to the Internet and went in search of the perfect chat room. It wasn’t too hard to find. I mean how many “Cheer if you love chatting” chat rooms can there be that don’t have to do with cheerleaders? I just hoped I wouldn’t die from lack of intelligent conversation. Okay, that’s not fair. There are a lot of nice cheerleaders, but as I said before, the only one so far is Annie. I clicked into the chat room and signed on as Bringiton. You know, like as in the movie! Heehee, cheerleaders hate that movie!
Bringiton: Hello?
Yippee36: Ugh. I hate that movie! Why did you sign on with that name?
Bringiton: I just thought that it was kind of funny. You know, us girls need to learn to take a joke! :: giggle::
Yippee36: I understand ::giggle::
Bringiton: Anyway, do you know Lena Bobbins?
Yippee36: Yeah
Bringiton: So do you like her?
Yippee36: Who are you?
Bringiton: Um…well, I doubt you know me. Do you go to Lena’s school?
Bringiton: Hello?
Yippee36: Yeah, sadly. She kicked me off of the squad and now I have to…I have to…
Bringiton: You have to what?
Bringiton: Are you there?
Yippee36: It’s so disgraceful!
Yippee36: I can’t
Bringiton: Come on, I don’t know who you are. What can’t you tell me
Yippee36: Well, I have to go to the…ugh. I’m so ashamed. I have to cheer on the city league team. I know, I’m a failure!
Bringiton: That’s not too awful. It’s okay. It happens to the best of us.
I can’t stop laughing! Oh my gosh. Some girl couldn’t handle that she was on the city league team! Wow, this was turning out to be sadder than I thought. How superficial can someone get? Who cares if you didn’t make the squad? As long as you’re doing what you want to, who cares who it’s with? I hope that more people show up in the chat room soon.
Yippee36: But it doesn’t!!!
Yippee36: I hate Lena for it, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Do you go to school with Lena and me?
Bringiton: Yeah, but I’m not on the squad either because of Lena
Sunshinegal: (Signed on) what are you ladies talking about?
Bringiton: Oh hi, we’re talking about Lena Bobbins, do you know her?
Sunshinegal: Sure do, she’s evil
Yippee36: You bet she is!
Bringiton: Did you get kicked off the squad because of her too?
Sunshinegal: No, but I’ve heard stories. What’s with ur sign on name? I hate that movie!
Bringiton: Ur not the only one who’s told me that they hate that movie
Yippee36: I told her too
No duh! Come on now! This is really starting to aggravate me!
Bringiton: What do you mean you’ve heard stories about Lena?
Bringiton: Hello?
Yippee36: I don’t think she’s there anymore. Well, I’ve got to go. Cheer on!
Cheer on? Gag me! What kind of stupid pills do these girls take? Honestly, who says that? You’ve got to be kidding me.
Bringiton: Okay, bye. Is anyone else still there?
Yippee36: Bye (Signed off)
Sunshinegal: I’m still here. I just wanted to wait for that other girl to leave before I answered ur question
Bringiton: You mean, about the stories you’ve heard?
Sunshinegal: Yes. Heehee, this is so like totally cool
Bringiton: What do you have to tell me?
Sunshinegal: Omigod you won’t believe what I’ve heard! If anyone found out that it was true, it would like totally be the end of Lena!
Omigod? Who uses that word? Is that even a word? I didn’t think people actually said that! If I read one more “like” out of this chick I’m going to scream!
Bringiton: What do you have to tell?
Sunshinegal: Well I don’t know anything in particular
Bringiton: What do you mean you don’t know anything in particular? You just told me that Lena could be ruined off of the stuff you’ve heard
Sunshinegal: Well I don’t actually know anything
You didn’t need to tell me that one! Ugh, what was wrong with this girl? Was she deprived of oxygen as an infant or something? I swear I’m going to choke her through the computer! Have patience, Ashley. Just have patience.
Bringiton: Who knows then?
Sunshinegal: Well, I know a girl who told me she knows a lot of stuff
Bringiton: She knows info about Lena?
Sunshinegal: No she just knows a lot
Breathe. Breathe. Omigod, I’m like so going to maim her! Oh no! I’m talking like them. Why?! I haven’t been that horrible, have I? HELP!
Bringiton: Do you know a girl who has the dirt on Lena?
Sunshinegal: Do you want to know the dirt on Lena?
Bringiton: Yes
Sunshinegal: I can’t tell you her name. If I told she could get in major trouble
Bringiton: Does she have an e-mail address that I could reach?
Sunshinegal: Well, that has her name in it
Bringiton: Does she have an instant messenger sign on name?
Sunshinegal: Yes
Bringiton: What is it?
Sunshinegal: It’s giggles4ever
Bringiton: giggles4ever?
Sunshinegal: Yup
Bringiton: Okay then. Well, I like should get like going
Sunshinegal: Omigod! I totally do too. Bye. Nice like meeting you
Bringiton: like ditto! (Signed off)
Thank goodness. I don’t know how much more faking stupidity I could have taken! My next move is to stay on-line until giggles4ever is on. What kind of a name is giggles4ever? Are these girls permanently sleep walking? I know I shouldn’t be so mean, but I can’t help it. I guess there must be something wrong with the cheerleaders in my area alone. I must say that it wasn’t too hard to find someone who hated Lena. I already found two! Pretty sweet. I don’t know how long I’m going to have to sit here, but I guess I’ll deal with it. I’ll just sign on as myself.
Adam121212: (Signed on)
It’s Adam! Oh, this is going to be interesting. I don’t know if he’ll even talk to me. He really needs to get over himself!
Adam121212: Hi Ash
CoolCatAsh: Hey
Adam121212: Are you mad at me
CoolCatAsh: No
CoolCatAsh: I never was, you blew up at me
Adam121212: I know, I’m sorry
CoolCatAsh: You need to trust me enough to know that I would never in a million years cheat on you
CoolCatAsh: Especially with Hank
Adam121212: I know
Adam121212: I don’t mean to be jealous. You just rock!
CoolCatAsh: Wow, thanks
Adam121212: Oh come on. Don’t be like that
CoolCatAsh: Like what
Adam121212: Like you want to puke in my brains
CoolCatAsh: Thanks for the colorful image
Adam121212: That’s what I’m here for
CoolCatAsh: Anything new on ur court case?
Adam121212: Not a thing. I think I have to go to the school. There’s no other option
CoolCatAsh: There has to be another option
Adam121212: I doubt it. I think I’m stuck
CoolCatAsh: This is totally off the subject, but is it just me, or is this conversation totally uninspired?
Adam121212: It’s just you
CoolCatAsh: Ur kidding me right
Adam121212: Yeah, I think we’ve hit a bump in the road
CoolCatAsh: What do we do?
Adam121212: Make-out?
CoolCatAsh: Is that ur solution to everything?
Adam121212: Not always
CoolCatAsh: What are ur other solutions
Adam121212: ….
Adam121212: Ur right, I don’t have any other solutions
CoolCatAsh: Ur such a goober
Adam121212: A goober?
CoolCatAsh: Yeah
CoolCatAsh: Do you have a problem with that
Adam121212: No, but of all things that you could’ve said, calling me a goober is not the one I would have picked
CoolCatAsh: Idiot. Is that better?
Adam121212: Much
Adam121212: You know how much I adore you, right
CoolCatAsh: Don’t try and butter me up
CoolCatAsh: It won’t work this time
Adam121212: Are you sure about that
CoolCatAsh: No
Adam121212: Why are you fighting with me if Ur not mad
CoolCatAsh: I don’t know
CoolCatAsh: It just seems like we’re not having fun anymore
Adam121212: That’s because we haven’t made-out in a while
CoolCatAsh: Is that seriously all that you think about
Adam121212: Yeah
CoolCatAsh: Besides we can’t make-out through a computer
Adam121212: So? Come over here! I miss you!
CoolCatAsh: I miss you too.
Adam121212: So what do you want to talk about?
CoolCatAsh: Hey, come on you still have some sucking up to do
Adam121212: I do, huh?
Adam121212: Could the sucking up be in the form of making-out?
CoolCatAsh: Okay. Earth to Adam, we’re not going to make-out
Adam121212: But why? (Warning: whining in process)
CoolCatAsh: You do realize how stupid you sound right?
Adam121212: I’m only stupid for you, darling
CoolCatAsh: What are you from the south? Darling? What’s that?
Adam121212: I thought I’d go all Old School on you and be the romantic-hottie-from-the-south kind of guy
Adam121212: Is it working?
CoolCatAsh: A little
Adam121212: I have to tell you something
CoolCatAsh: Wait, I have something totally off the subject to ask you again. Do u think I should get back at Tom for what’s he done?
Adam121212: Yeah, that sounds good to me.
Adam121212: It has to be something humiliating, but not immature
Adam121212: Not only that, but it has to be his fault that it happened
CoolCatAsh: So in other words, he’s making himself look like a dork
Adam121212: You bet
CoolCatAsh: I like it, what did you have in mind
Adam121212: Well, Tom’s a horrible basketball player, right?
CoolCatAsh: I don’t know, is he? I haven’t been to a game yet
Adam121212: Well he is. There’s an honor’s game night, where before the game they show highlights of the years best plays
CoolCatAsh: So?
Adam121212: So Hank recorded every game of the season. He has all of Tom’s flubs on film
Adam121212: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
CoolCatAsh: Make a collection of Tom’s mistakes on DVD, and put it on in place of the year’s highlights?
Adam121212: You got it
CoolCatAsh: That’s genius! And it’s not our fault that he’s terrible, it’s smart, and not a stupid prank that only causes physical injury, which isn’t cool
Adam121212: Exactly
Adam121212: Ash
CoolCatAsh: Yeah
Adam121212: I have something to tell you
Giggles4ever: (Signed on)
CoolCatAsh: I’ve got to go! I’m sorry, I need to talk to somebody else. It’s an emergency. Can I talk to you later? At Tina’s party maybe?
Adam121212: Sure, I just have to tell you this
CoolCatAsh: Bye!
Well, maybe I shouldn’t sign on as myself. Safer that way…
CoolCatAnita: Giggles4ever?
Giggles4ever: Yes?
CoolCatAnita: Hi, I’m Anita!
Giggles4ever: So
CoolCatAnita: I’ve heard that you’ve got some juicy stories about Lena Bobbins
Giggles4ever: I still don’t see where you fit in
CoolCatAnita: Well, I’m writing a story about cheerleaders, and I want to show how vain the ones at our school are, plus I really want to get Lena kicked off of the squad
Giggles4ever: So you want to know about Lena’s indiscretions so she can get kicked off the squad?
Indiscretions? Wow, this girl wasn’t a ditz. Maybe that’s why she didn’t make the squad! She’s sarcastic, witty, and doesn’t like Lena. Talk about my kind of girl!
CoolCatAnita: Pretty much. Are you game?
Giggles4ever: Am I!
CoolCatAnita: Great, so what do you have to tell me?
Giggles4ever: How do I know that you’re not one of Lena’s minions?
CoolCatAnita: How do I know that you’re not? I’m willing to take a chance
Giggles4ever: Ok
Giggles4ever: First off, the only reason, that this is my sign on name is so that the cheerleaders wouldn’t recognize me.
Giggles4ever: By the way who told you about me, nobody knows this sign on name belongs to me
CoolCatAnita: Sunshinegal
Giggles4ever: Oh, that makes sense. She’s my best friend
CoolCatAnita: No offense, but she seemed kind of…well…
Giggles4ever: Ditzy? Yeah, she is, but she’s still a nice person
CoolCatAnita: So what do you know about Lena?
Giggles4ever: Lots, what would you like to know?
CoolCatAnita: Everything
Giggles4ever: Well, first off, Lena’s boobs, nose, butt, cheeks, chin, face, and hair color aren’t hers
CoolCatAnita: Well I knew about the boobs, everything else I didn’t know about
CoolCatAnita: She’s the bionic witch
Giggles4ever: Oh and her shoe size isn’t either
CoolCatAnita: Shoe size?
Giggles4ever: Yeah, she stuffs her feet into size 7 shoes. Even though her feet are a size 9
CoolCatAnita: Okay, I don’t think that will help us ruin Lena though, besides I’ve known her all my life and I never knew she did that
Giggles4ever: Well, I guess you didn’t know everything about her and you said you wanted to know everything
CoolCatAnita: I do
CoolCatAnita: I want to know everything that Lena doesn’t want people to know
Giggles4ever: Ok, well the fake body parts don’t help her case
CoolCatAnita: True
Giggles4ever: Anyway there’s only two secrets that I do know about that will get her kicked off the squad for sure, and that’s because they break our school’s cheerleading code
CoolCatAnita: What are they?
Is the suspense building up in you, or is it just me? It better not be! You don’t love me? Why don’t you love me?
Giggles4ever: First, in the code it says that no cheerleader should at any time be involved in other cheerleading squads except our schools.
Giggles4ever: Lena has been reporting squad secrets to our rivals
CoolCatAnita: The Panthers?
Giggles4ever: You bet
CoolCatAnita: Wow, why?
Giggles4ever: They give her money and dates with Chippendales. Haven’t you found it weird that our squad has always been second place in every competition to the Panthers?
CoolCatAnita: That doesn’t make sense though, why would Lena sacrifice winning for money? She hates losing
Giggles4eveer: Because every year, she’s always been “sick” and was out with the hunks buying whatever she wanted
Giggles4ever: So really she’s never felt the defeat
CoolCatAnita: She’s the captain, how come no one has noticed
Giggles4ever: Can’t you tell that the cheerleaders in our area are all extremely devoid of brain cells?
CoolCatAnita: Ur right
CoolCatAnita: What’s the other thing Lena has done?
Giggles4ever: It says in the code, that no cheerleader should put herself before the others. An example of doing this would be dating family of one of the other girls
Giggles4ever: Lena’s dated every single one of Liz’s brothers, and Jill
’s brother
CoolCatAnita: No sisters huh?
Giggles4ever: ?????
CoolCatAnita: It’s just a joke
Giggles4ever: Do you think you can use this info to get back at Lena?
CoolCatAnita: I don’t know. The dating Liz and Jill’s brothers seems kind of weak
Giggles4ever: Well, there is one more thing
CoolCatAnita: What?
Giggles4ever: The squad every year hasn’t had the money to go to nationals because they always seem to have spent all their money by the end of the season
CoolCatAnita: And?
Giggles4ever: Lena’s the financial manager as well as the Captain
Giggles4ever: I don’t think the others have noticed how odd it is that at the end of every season, Lena’s about to go off to Malibu or something like that
CoolCatAnita: WOW! That’s not just against the code, that’s against the law!
CoolCatAnita: Lena seems to love stealing money and blaming it on others or hiding it
Giggles4ever: What do you mean?
CoolCatAnita: Nothing
Giggles4ever: Is there anything else that I can do
CoolCatAnita: No, I think you’ve given me all that I need
Giggles4ever: Great
CoolCatAnita: Wait
Giggles4ever: What
CoolCatAnita: I don’t think just writing an article is going to be good enough
Giggles4ever: What do you mean?
CoolCatAnita: I mean cheerleaders don’t usually read the newspaper
Giggles4ever: Ur right
Giggles4ever: Do you have any other way of getting the information out?
CoolCatAnita: I don’t know
Giggles4ever: First you have to catch her in the act of stealing money, or dating a brother, or leaking squad information
CoolCatAnita: Right
CoolCatAnita: Then I have to somehow show it to the other cheerleaders so they can kick her off of the team
Giggles4ever: You could video camera her
