Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

Nicole would never forget the first time she met Waverly Earp, who stood in front of the gym with a nervous but cheerful smile plastered across her face as she nearly flawlessly repeated the cheer captain's movements, earning a bunch of catcalls and whistles from a few guys that sat in the top bleachers.

She would always remember how excited Waverly had looked when she had been told she made the team or how whispers had almost instantly started amongst some of the girls in the bleachers below her.

"Why did they let her on the team? She's probably just as crazy as her sisters!"

"She's in my history class and she is really strange."

"She's an Earp what do you expect?"

It had been Nicole Haught's first day at Purgatory High and she already could tell that she would hate this town more than anything else. But she did know one thing, she knew how it felt to be alone all the time and she didn't want anyone else to feel that way, ever.

So she decided to introduce herself to this Waverly Earp the first chance she got.

Little did she know that nothing is ever as it really seems nor did she expect her life to be changed so drastically by one girl in a cheerleading uniform.
