Jolene

You and Jolene were both tardy to chemistry class on the day the teacher assigned lab partners for the semester final project.  Everyone else had already paired up.  That's how you got stuck with her, and it might prove to be quite a daunting task since she's more interested in parties and hanging with the cheer squad than dedication to scholastics. Her best friend is Carleigh, your new stepsister who transferred to your school mid-year, thereby missing cheer tryouts.  Carleigh's technical lack of cheerleader status doesn't stop her from hanging with the cheer squad and dragging you into their intense world. So it seems Jolene is suddenly hanging around you a lot: for the science project, for slumber parties a few rooms over, whatever.  For whatever reason, it seems your destinies are becoming closer and closer aligned.
