Unexpected love
Summary: Samantha McCall is a self-professed nerd. At Port Charles High School she’s basically unknown to the whole student body, a social outcast. When her best friend Sheila Daniels convinces Sam to try out for the varsity cheerleading squad will she stay a social outcast, or would the unexpected happen?
Chapter 1
“Are you serious??? Samantha McCall looked directly into Sheila Daniels eyes.
“Come on. You do have a gymnastics background, anyway when you make it on the squad. You’ll be the first smart girl ever to make it on the Port Charles High School varsity cheerleading squad. Sheila reasoned.
‘Me a self-professed nerd join the cheerleading squad? That’s against some unwritten high school code, I’m sure.” Sam replied, as she continued to take her books out of her book bag and put them back in her locker.
“Think of the honor.” Sheila continued.
Sam looked over her locker door, “Wait a minute, did you just say honor? ‘Cuz if you did, I may have to disown you as my best friend. Sam stated hotly.
“Okay, honor not the correct word, however, regardless of that word. “Can you imagine when you made the cheerleading squad, what everyone would do? Sheila questioned.
“Die of shock, I suppose..” Sam said smiling to herself.
“Let’s just say for a minute that I actually tried out, what if I don’t make it?” Sam inquired.
“The chances of you not making the squad are slim to none. You’ve been doing gymnastics since you were three years old.” Sheila reminded Sam.
“I know, but who’s to say I would want to join that barbaric tradition” Sam asked, raising an eyebrow.
Sam continues, “Everyone on the cheerleading squad is a certified bitch, and they where is that badge proudly. “Elizabeth Webber head cheerleader extraordinaire is worse than all of them combined.” Sam says, clearly ranting at this point.
“I mean, a underclassmen never gets into the varsity cheerleading squad, much less me.” Sam stated matter-of-factly.
“Okay I see your point, but need I remind you that we are sophomores, the higher level of the underclassmen. Sheila manages to interrupt Sam’s tirade.
“Okay, cheerleading could be used as an extracurricular activity that can be put on your transcript for college, and we all know that you need at least one activity in that area. Sheila said.
Sam had to admit that she needed at least one the other activity. “Okay go on, anything else?
“Jason Morgan.” Sheila said with a wicked grin.
Sam’s breath caught, the captain of the varsity football team, her one weakness. Sam had a crush on Jason Morgan, since practically forever. The one boy that she was attracted to didn’t even know she existed. Despite the fact that they had classes together since kindergarten.
Sheila knew what those two words put together she had won the biggest battle. For years Sam practically did nothing but school and think of Jason Morgan. She was right with that the last of Sam resolve crumbled.
“Okay after school, I’ll go to the tryouts. After all, it’s just dancing and that’s what I like to do.” Sand said nonchalantly.
With that, they proceeded to the cafeteria for lunch.
--
After school, Sam and Sheila made their way to the school’s gymnasium
Sam wasn’t sure she was surprised, but there were close to a hundred girls that were trying out today the last day of cheerleading tryouts. Sam was dressed in her gym sweats.
Sand filled out the required form and patiently waited for her number to be called. A short while later, Sam’s number was called, she walked into the gymnasium in front of the stage was all the cheerleaders that were currently on the varsity cheerleading squad. Looking like tigers waiting to pounce on their next meal. Sam walked confidently walked up to the table.
“Form please.” Elizabeth Webber spit out extending her hand.
Sam handed her the form.
“Well, well, well it appears we have a sophomore trying out for the varsity cheerleading squad.” she sneered.
“This ought to be good.” Elizabeth thought.
Much to the varsity cheerleaders surprise Sam’s try out was flawless
She did many of the moves that they couldn’t do and she did it with a smile on her face. It infuriated them.
After tryouts concluded all the candidates for the varsity cheerleading squad reentered the gym.
“First of all, I’d like to personally thank everyone that came out for tryouts this year.” Elizabeth said,
“I’m sure we will have a hard time picking just five of you to join our squad this year.” Elizabeth said with a thin smile.
“The results of the tryout will be posted at on the main door to the gymnasium on Friday morning.” said Courtney Matthews who served as co-captain of the cheerleading squad.
--
“I can’t believe it’s been five days since I tried out for the varsity cheerleading squad.” Sam marveled to Sheila.
“I’m super excited to find out if I made the squad today.” Sam continued as the two of them made their way to the main gymnasium door. The list was already posted and sure enough, Sam’s name was on it. There was also a note posted for each of the new cheerleaders.
Dear Sam,
Congratulations on making the varsity cheerleading squad!! Since you are new to the squad this year, I will be your big sister as it were. It is my responsibility to teach you the way of being a Port Charles cheerleader. Here is a little run down about me. My name is Caroline Benson but everyone calls me Carly. I’m a senior and have been on the squad since the beginning of my junior year. If you ever need any help with anything I am here for you. Also our first meeting of the cheerleading squad is Monday, right after school in the weight room. There you will receive your uniform, and possibly meet some of the football players that we have the privilege of cheering for throughout the season.
- Carly
Sam conveniently put the note in her backpack and made sure that no one saw it. She wanted the fact that she had joined the cheerleading squad to be a surprise because she knew that in two weeks the homecoming football game and the pep rally would be her big reveal.
Chapter 2
Sam had made Sheila promise not to tell anyone that she had made the cheerleading squad.
As they made their way to the school cafeteria, they began to talk about the new adventure that Sam was about to embark on.
“What’s the difference if I tell anyone; You’re an outcast, so it really doesn’t make a difference whether or not I tell anyone because no one really knows according to you that you exist.” Sheila questioned.
“I have my reasons.” Sam replied cryptically as she got in line to order food.
“Are you going to tell me those reasons? Sheila inquired
After all, I am your best friend, who’s known you since middle school and knows pretty much everything there is to know about you.”Sheila continued.
“It’s all part of my big reveal that I have planned…” Sam said with a devilish smile on her face.
“You aren’t going to do anything illegal, are you?” Sheila asked with a worried look.
“Just because I’m a cheerleader does not mean that I’d stoop to become a juvenile delinquent.” Sam stated defensively, Sam handed money to the cashier for her lunch.
“You clearly have been watching too many soap operas.” Sam continued.
“I stick with what I know.”Sheila said hurt creeping into her voice.
“So my present character means nothing?” Sam asked, anger flashing in her eyes.
“I wouldn’t say that I just don’t want you to change just because you’re a cheerleader now.” Sheila answered.
“Now can we please talk about something else?” Sheila asked.
“Of course.. So what are your plans for this weekend, anything interesting? Sam asked, finding a table and sitting down next to Sheila.
“Check out what I just learned, it seems Spinelli has been recruited to help Jason, because he really hasn’t been doing so well in some of his classes and coach is afraid he’ll lose his star athlete, and the football team will therefore suffer.” Sheila said nonchalantly.
As casual as Sam could muster at this point, she choked out “Spinelli, Spinelli as in your boyfriend, Spinelli?”
“Yeah, the one and only” Sheila replied.
At this point Sam’s mind when into overdrive, a million thoughts were going through her mind.
Sam didn’t like Spinelli that much; he was just a little too strange for her liking. You basically needed a dictionary to fully understand him. His favorite term of endearment for Sam was the fair Samantha or the one she hated the most, The Goddess. Spinelli always called Sheila she that will be queen or mistress of hot. Of course Sheila thought it was quite cute. Thank goodness Sheila didn’t call Spinelli anything remotely close to those kinds of names.
This news, however, got Sam thinking, “This gives me an inside glimpse into the world that Jason Morgan is a part of.”
With that the two of them finished their lunch and headed off to afternoon classes.
--
Later on that afternoon just before Sam left school her cheerleading mentor Caroline “Carly” Benson approached her.
“Hi Sam, I just wanted to come over and introduced myself in person and say congratulations once again for making this year’s squad, It’s not very often that a sophomore makes it onto the varsity cheerleading squad.” Carly said quickly.
“Thanks, it’s nice to finally meet you.” Sam said, shaking Carly’s already outstretched hand.
Sam then turned back to her locker, and continued to select the books she needed to complete her homework for the weekend.
“Sam, just so you know, I would definitely watch my back when it comes to some of the other girls on the squad.”Carly cautioned.
Sam raised an eyebrow inquisitively, “Really? And who would these Three Amigos be?”
Carly smiled Elisabeth “The Lizard” Webber, Courtney “Maneater” Matthews, and Emily “The Saint” Quartermaine.
“Wait a minute. Why are you telling me all of this? I mean, you’re on the squad why would you refer to your friends as the Lizard, a Maneater, and a saint? “Sam questioned a little unsure if she was being played or not.
“The answer is simple” Carly said. “I hate them. I love cheerleading, so I have to put up with all their crap.” You my friend are about to enter the jungle. And unless you’re careful, you won’t make it out alive.”
Sam smiled at this.
“Well then let the games begin.” Sam said fully intending on winning whatever game they were playing.
“I knew I liked you from the minute you walked into tryouts.” Carly said, with that Carly walked away.
--
On Monday afternoon, Sam walked into the weight room. The room itself was relatively small. Barbells and other equipment were strewn about the room. There were at least 15 buff football players in this teeny space that was no bigger than a utility closet. As Sam scanned the room her eyes fell upon a shirtless Jason Morgan he was doing curls with what looked like a 50 pound barbell in each hand. Sam took a moment, to appreciate the view. Jason was wearing light blue boxer shorts that seemed to enhance what he was doing. His broad shoulders seemed to be shaking with fatigue as he did each curl after he did each one he exhaled. His arms were very defined with muscle after muscle. As Sam’s eyes roamed his body, her breath caught when she finally reached his abs. Jason Morgan didn’t have the six-pack he have a 20 pack they were so defined you could see each individual muscle.
“McCall!! McCall!!” Elizabeth shrieked.
“Earth to Sam, Sam are you okay?” Carly asked, waving her hand in front of Sam’s face.
“What?? What’s going on? Sorry I just phased out there for a little bit.” Sam answered, looking at Carly blinking her eyes multiple times.
“Sam is it all right with you, if we have our meeting now? Elizabeth said with a big snicker on her face.
“Cuz, we can wait,” she continued facetiously.
At this the cheerleaders smiled.
“Don’t pay any attention to the pack of hyenas that we are forced to associate with.” Carly whispered.
“They are just jealous because you have moves that they don’t” Carly continued.
“As I was saying.” Elizabeth said pointedly, this is our uniform. It is only to be worn during football games. During practice it is required that you wear your cheerleading warm-up gear. We have practice on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from three till 6 p.m. and any other time that we deem necessary either after school or before school. On occasion, we even do weekend practices.
“In other words, we expect that you eat, breathe, and sleep cheerleading for the next three to four months.” Courtney said cutting in.
“Exactly” Elizabeth spoke up.
“And when we made national championships this year, be prepared being a cheerleader is a job that is not all over after football season is done not by a long shot.” said an unknown brown haired girl which Sam assumed was Emily Quartermaine.
“Excellent point Emily.” Elizabeth complemented, smiling at her best friend.
“Meeting adjourned’ Elizabeth said, make sure you pick up your uniform before you leave, she added quickly. This is the only time where you will receive all your stuff for
cheerleading this year.
“I’ll get all of our stuff.” Carly said jumping up, I need to stretch my legs anyway.
“Carly I appreciate the offer, but I’ll get my stuff by myself.” Sam said getting up and heading to the door of a very small, yet deep closet. By the time, Sam had sorted through the closet and picked up the stuff that she needed to have for cheerleading. there was no way that she could carry all of it home. Thankfully most of the weight room was cleared out Carly and a bunch of other football players were the only people left.
As Sam tried unsuccessfully to take these massive boxes that were bigger than she was out of the weight room. She suddenly heard, “ouch, watch where you’re going! Sam looked up and came face-to-face with Jason Morgan, who was rubbing his shoulder.
“I’m so sorry” Sam said and with that she dropped the rest of the box, and it landed right on top of Jason’s feet.
“OW!” Jason said with a grimace on his face.
“Oh my god I’m so sorry.”Sam replied with a pained expression on her face.
“I’m fine, “Jason said shortly, but just to be on the safe side, let me carry those boxes for you so you don’t try to kill anyone else.
During the commotion, Carly ran over, “What happened??” Carly said to no one in particular.
“This girl may have single-handedly injured me and all she used was two big boxes worth of cheerleading stuff.” Jason said clearly angry.
“Oh, Jason don’t be so defensive.” Carly said.
“I’m sure it was an accident.” Carly continued.
“Tell that to my shoulder and my feet.” Jason resorted.
“Drama queen.” Carly said.
“I already apologized twice.” Sam said, her eyes flashing with anger.
“Okay, let’s start over Jason this is Samantha McCall Carly said turning to Jason.
“Sam, this is Jason Morgan, the captain of our football team.” Carly introduced.
Carly then turned to Jason “could you please put those bags plus those other two in my car? Carly asked sweetly.
“Okay, but only because I know you won’t leave me alone until I actually do it.” Jason resorted.
“Thanks Jason, what would I do without you?” Carly asked.
“Do you really want me to answer that? Jason asked, with a hint of laughter in his eyes.
Carly rolled her eyes, “He’s really not that bad once you get to know him.” Carly said turning back towards Sam as they proceeded out to Carly’s car.
“I learned from experience, we dated for a little while we eventually broke it off when he saw me on the date with his best friend Sonny. Carly said. “Of course at the time I was dating Jason, we had a big fight Jason called it cheating. I called it freelance dating.”
I ended up with Sonny who is now my boyfriend. Jason, Sonny and I are still best friends. Carly continued.
“Here’s the worst part, a couple months ago, Jason started dating Elizabeth Webber, as I’ve already told you I hate her. Is there’s some kind of rule that says the captain of the football team must date the captain of the cheerleading squad? Carly asked.
Sam was not expecting to be asked a question. Carly was on a roll, and she’d figured out by then to just let Carly go on.
“I never heard of such a rule, but in all the movies and from what I know about soap operas from my friend Sheila. It happens a lot.” Sam answered
Chapter 3
After they left school they went directly to Kelly’s one of Sam’s favorite places to eat. They sat in booth and talked while they a deluxe cheeseburger with milkshakes. They were there for slightly over two hours.
It turns out that Sonny’s father Mike is the manager of Kelly’s and that Carly’s mother Bobbie owns the shop.
After they ate Carly still wasn’t ready to go home soon as she suggested that they go to a local bar called Jake’s and shoot some pool. Sam was worried about getting caught, because there was a bar, where alcoholic beverages were served, but good thing for both of them that their IDs were never checked.
the bar owner, Coleman was a shady character to say the least Sam wasn’t exactly sure what his occupation was besides, owner and apparent bartender, and he looked like the ugliest version of the hippie that Sam had ever seen in her life. He basically hit on anything with a pulse. Age didn’t matter to him which Sam eventually found out after being there for less than five minutes. After a while, Sam sauntered out to the pool table, which looks relatively old and not used in a long time it didn’t take long for Sam to pinpoint a victim.
She began to work on what would become the big reveal. “Coleman, fancy a game of pool? I could really use the practice.”
“Sure, little lady. Anything for a pretty girl like you.” Coleman replied, attempting unsuccessfully to swagger out to the pool table.
“That’s what I was counting on.” Sam thought
With that Sam undid her ponytail she tousled her hair. She silently prayed this would work. Sam had never done anything remotely like this. But she figured that this guy was a piece of cake, After all he did it on anything with a pulse.
A little more than 45 minutes later, she had hustled Coleman out of 50 bucks. By the end of the night Sam was entirely comfortable with the situation. Apparently a little sex appeal helped in certain situations.
As Carly and Sam exited Jake’s Sam thought about revealing what she was planning to Carly. Because it was obvious that Carly had the bad attitude and the look that Sam was going for and Carly did it without making herself into a hooker.
“Carly, can I ask you something?” Sam asked with their head cocked to the right.
“Of course Sam, that’s what I’m here for.” Carly answered.
“What kind of women is Jason attracted to?” Sam inquired.
“Well, with the exception of lizard, he likes a sweet yet sassy girl. That’s basically up for anything why do you ask?” Carly inquired, even though she had a feeling why Sam was asking this question.
“If you promise not to tell anyone what I’m about to tell you. It’s really important that you not tell anyone. “
“I promise, I’ll take it to the grave.” Carly nodded.
“Ok, I think I have the way for you and I to get what we both want.” Sam stated.
“I already know where this is going, and I like the way you think.”Carly said wiggling her eyebrows.
“I get Jason away from lizard.”Sam explains.
“That way, we don’t have to deal with her.” Carly finished.
“Exactly.” Sam said.
“One problem, though Carly said thinking, Liz is dating Jason not to mention that she is the captain of the squad and her entire entourage, which basically consists of dumb and dumber, will do anything that she says.” Carly said worried.
“I am willing to remove Elizabeth from Jason’s life.” I’m willing to do this, because she makes everyone’s life miserable. Sam said.
“She doesn’t deserve to be his girlfriend.” Carly interjected.
“Whoa, I have a brilliant idea.” Carly said, as an idea formulated in her mind.
“Sam would you willing to pretend to be interested in Jason?” Carly asked.
“I know you guys got off on the wrong foot, but it would be an immense problem that’s removed from all of our lives.” Carly continued at this point pleading with Sam.
“I guess.” Sam said the unwilling to divulge her crush on Jason to Carly just yet.
“I hope I’m not setting myself up for a world of hurt.” Sam thought.
--
The next week and a half before the pep rally and homecoming game was very stressful for Sam. She basically spends every waking hour with Carly. They went shopping to get Sam new clothes. Gone were the clothes that Sam usually wore. She was not allowed to touch her sweatpants unless it was cheerleading practice. At the end of the week and a half Sam felt like a completely different person but strangely, she’s seen too like the person that she was being turned into. They were a getting ready for the pep rally, which Carly had nicknamed Operation Cinderella.
“One last piece and you’ll be ready tonight’s the big night.” Carly said.
The introduction of makeup and hair care products was a big thing for Sam had never seen so many hair thingies in her life, there are so many products that Sam saw in front of her. There was no way she could get dressed and ready in less than two hours.
Carly seemed to know exactly what she was doing. It was amazing. Sam found out that Carly did this every day, sometimes multiple times. And getting ready for a date with her boyfriend took hours of preparation. Guys always complain, they clearly had no appreciation for the things that girls have to go through just to look halfway decent Carly said in the middle of putting on mountains of makeup.
“All done it’s my best work yet.” Carly said beaming with pride.
Sam turned around; she was amazed that the girl she saw in the mirror. Sam had never looked like that on her best day. Carly must have been some kind of miracle worker, her hair was in a French twist at the top of her head, with little tendrils at the very top. Light blue eye shadow, with black eyeliner, brought out to her brown eyes. In addition to that, her eyelashes appeared longer, as a final touch. Carly had put glitter around her eyes to really attract attention. Her cheeks had a rosy glow to them and to finish off the look. Carly had put shimmery lip-gloss on Sam’s lips.
“The only thing that Sam could really say was thank you very much while she continued staring at herself.
“Oh it was nothing.” Carly replied.
With that both girls glanced in the mirror, one last time taking a minute to appreciate how they both looked in their new uniforms along with their makeup.
--
When Carly and Sam entered the gym, it was packed. This was the first event that signaled the start of football season it was clear to Sam that the cheerleaders were the main attraction. Sam had practiced for hours on end with Carly on many of the complicated moves that they were required to do. The football players were seated just behind the cheerleaders in the bleachers. Sam scanned the crowd for Jason, but in this sea of people. She couldn’t even begin to find him.
--
Jason was seated in between his two best friends, Lucky Spencer and Nikolas Cassadine. They of course were talking about some of their favorite subjects. Football and their girlfriends, Lucky talked constantly about his girlfriend Emily, it had really become tiring for Nikolas and Jason to listen to Lucky going on and on about Emily. Thank goodness, Nik was not nearly as obnoxious about his girlfriend Courtney for the most part however they always got into a discussion on who had the hotter girlfriend. Of course, each guy thought they had the hottest girlfriend in the history of mankind.
“Oh come on, the crowd goes crazy when Courtney is on the top of the human pyramid. The noise level goes way up.” Nik said.
“Yeah, but that’s because they’re screaming for her to get down. Jason and Lucky said simultaneously laughing.
“You guys both know Emily is the hottest one. She can do the most incredible cheerleading moves anyone has ever seen. Lucky commented.
“Too bad nobody can see her from the bleachers, she’s known as the invisible cheerleader. “ Nik stated, with Jason nodding in complete agreement.
“Seriously, Elizabeth is the hottest. She’s the captain for a reason.” Jason reasoned.
“The reason she made captain was because the original Captain moved over the summer which means she’s a fraud.” Nik said.
“Oh, that’s right he does have a point Jason.” Lucky added.
“The only way we can settle this is to say. All three of us have the three best looking cheerleaders on the squad.” Jason said.
“Speaking of which I think the pep rally is about to start.” Jason said.
Suddenly in the gymnasium lights start flashing. The opening bars of This Is Why I'm Hot plays.
The cheerleaders take off their long robes that cover their bodies, to reveal new cheerleading uniforms with sequence the crowd goes wild. Jason is not really sure if it’s because of the music, the cheerleaders or a combination of both.
The only thing that Jason is sure of is, there is not a cheerleader in particular, that he is drawn to and it’s not his girlfriend, this girl has a French twist with tendrils and sparkling lip-gloss. Jason can see it as plain as day from all the way the on the third step of the bleachers. He never had this kind of reaction at a pep rally before. I mean, the performances were with good and the Elizabeth was always a good dancer, but not as good as the mysterious girl that he continues to stare at this must be a mistake. This girl is not in high school, she has got to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Jason then made a decision he had to find out this girl’s name. Jason made a mental note to talk to Carly after the pep rally.
