West Tulsa-Metropolitan High School (better known as West High) never seemed so strange to Skye as it did now. She found guys who she had played basketball with the afternoon before now giving her the once over...and approving. The girls seemed to whisper as she walked by, and at lunch, one of the cheerleaders she had once made fun of with Taylor, asked her to come sit at "their table". She had, and found that this was where ALL the junior cheerleaders sat, along with several athletes and a few of the popular girls who were noted as merciless flirts.

Skye enjoyed sitting with them though. She found out quickly that they weren't ALL bad. She had to watch out for the blonds who sat on the end in the big middle of all the guys, and for Nissa Harmeyer, the brilliant red-head who glared at her unimpressedly throughout the entire lunch period. In fact, she found that the petite blond, Sister (her real name was Cynthia, but everyone called her Sister) McPotter who had asked her to eat with them was actually very sweet, as were her two closer friends, Mignette (sounds like Men-yet) and Alicia.

However, she was relieved when lunch was over, and she was free to roam the halls. In last hour, a note was slipped into her hand as she walked up to turn in the weekend assignment. Once back to her desk, she opened it and read, "Come this afternoon to the Dance Committee at 6. We'd like for you to join us." She looked around, and saw Mignette waving discretely from the corner. Skye nodded, and tucked the note into her backpack.

She felt a sudden flutter in her stomach as she realized that she her revelation was working...and she was being accepted into the "popular" crowd.
