Slipping Away

Chapter 4 - Penelope's POV

God, oh god, why did we have to run into Maddie? I can't believe she actually wanted to come to cheer practice. I can't believe she thinks that I'm going to ditch the Cheerios for her? Honestly, Cheer is more important, but it didn't used to be. 
Chelsea interrupted my thoughts, "Penny! Let's go!"
"Coming!" I called back.
I ran out of the locker room to cheer practice. 

*~.~*~.~*~.~*~.~*.~*

After practice we were all talking in the locker room while we got our stuff together.
"So, Penny," Chelsea said, "What's that nerdy girls name again?"
"Which girl?"
"The one that was talking to you before practice?"
"Oh, her? Her name is Madison."
"She's very odd." Chelsea said with a disapproving look.
Then Katy cut in with, "Yeah, I mean who is she to think she can just come watch cheer practices?"
"I don't know." I mumbled.
I wonder what Maddie's doing now...I feel kinda bad for ditching her but I can't miss cheer. I mean come on, I'm head cheerleader. 
I walked out of the locker room, and straight into Mason McNally.
