That week.

Lynn pulled into the parking lot and went to the courtyard where her friends hung out. The first person to talk to her was Maddie. "Um, Lynn, the season's over. You know we can only wear our uniforms on game days, and there's none left."

"Gee, there's like three weeks of school left," said Lynn, "what are they going to do kick me off the squad?"

"Well, they could send you home for wearing a skirt that's too short. At least put your warm up pants on underneath the skirt, so you don't get suspended for dress code."

Lynn and Maddie went to the small cheerleader locker room connected to the gymnatics room, and Lynn put on her warm up pants under her skirt. She did wonder why she wore her uniform today, but thought about how hot Ms. Cooper said she looked in her uniform.

The day started normally. The first class was calculus, and Lynn could not concentrate. She thought about Tanya's humiliation and how she loved seeing Tanya walk out of the store not knowing the back of her shirt said "Free handjobs!" and then coming back covered in cum. She was sitting towards the back of the class and got an impish idea seeing all the backs in front of her.

Later, she went up to the desk at the end of class when Mr. Young had finished and asked to borrow some tape. She took the tape back to her desk and made several double sticky sided pieces. She then made some signs with notebook paper. As the students left class, she put a sign on Brittnee's back that said "Kick me if you think I'm an airhead!" she watched a few people playfully kick Brittnee who thought people were just playing with her and walked off being laughed at behind her back. Next she saw Penny, the stuck up sophomore cheerleader with the big breasts she showed off with tight, low cut shirts. Penny ended up with a "Still wetting my bed!" sign on her back.

The day went on and finally ended with cheerleading practice. Monday's were pretty laid back, especially now that the season was over. After practice, Lynn handed out the free lip gloss. Taylor especially loved hers and kept licking her lips. Lynn convinced the girls it would be fun to wear their uniforms to the mall because they all looked so hot in them. She found it easy to convice the girls, and they went to the mall. She handed out the coupons and even though Taylor said she didn't need one and would never use one, they went to Ms. Cooper's store.

Ms. Cooper was waiting for them and greeted them. She asked how they liked the lip gloss, and the girls gushed over how great the lip gloss was. She chatted the girls up getting to know them a bit. She seemed a bit annoyed with Brittnee, smiled warmly at Maddie, but took special interest in Taylor. As the girls browsed. She pulled Taylor and Lynn aside. "Taylor, I have a special cataloge in the back for sophisticated shoppers who like more designer and specially made clothes. Want to check it out?"

"Yeah, Taylor," said Lynn, "Ms. Cooper has great taste."

"OK," Taylor said in her normally bored voice.

The other girls shopped and tried on clothes while Taylor remained in the back.

Finally, as the other girls were finishing their shopping, Taylor came back out.
"Your boss is sooo cool!" she said to Lynn. "She really knows her stuff."

"What did you guys talk about for so long?" asked Lynn.

"Oh you know like stuff like school and my parents and stuff. She gave me this great fruit drink that was some tropical, exotic blend she said she discovered in the Amazon. It really made me feel relaxed, but like clear headed. It was great!She really likes you, Lynn, and made me realize how great of a person you are. We really should be better friends."

Lynn had a hazy memory of the fruit drink, but couldn't quite grasp it.

Ms. Cooper came out and came up to the girls all gathered together. "Taylor told me Friday is 'Senior Skip Day,'" she said, "and your parents are cool with it. You guys should have a sleep over Thursday night at Lynn's house."

"What a great idea!" said Taylor. "It could just be like the four of us!"

Maddie was on the only one of the three that was really Lynn's friend, so Lynn thought it was odd that Taylor was the one who promoted the idea. Maddie immediately agreed, and so did Britnee.

Lynn had only to work Wednesday that week, so Thursday was open.

The girls all bought something, and Taylor, who seemed enraptured with Ms. Cooper promised the older lady that she would bring her mom in tomorrow after school.

The girls left and headed for the food court. "Taylor could not stop talking about how much she liked Ms. Cooper and how she felt bad for not getting to know Lynn better outside of school and cheerleading.

The rest of the day went by normally. The next two days, Lynn noticed that Taylor was trying hard to be her friend almost to the point of fawning over her.

Wednesday after practice she headed to work. Upon her arrival she spotted Taylor's mom. She had seen Taylor's mom a several times over the past four years at games where the girls cheered, and she helped chaperone two cheerleading camp trips The woman was always dressed nicely in conservative, yet attractive pant suits, sweaters, skirts, or dresses. The woman who had to be at least 40, but today was dressed like Hillary Duff or Lindsay Lohan. She wore a short, distressed denim skirt with a loose fitting gold belt, and a low cut halter top with rhinestones around the collar. She also wore gold wedge shoes and her dyed blonde hair hair was teased up a bit.

"Oh, you're Lynn!" the woman said rushing up to her. "Ms. Cooper and I were just talking about you. "Taylor introduced us yesterday, and we hit it off right away. We just spent the day together. I just love her fruit drink! Don't I look hot?" She stepped back and put out her arms. She then walked closer. "Um, do you think boys your age will find this hot?"

Lynn was a bit embarrassed for Taylor's mom, but also found her actions a bit funny. "Sure thing Mrs. Gorman."

"Oh, Lynn, for one I'm divorced so none of this misses stuff. Just call me Helen!"

"OK...Helen."

"Good, now I'm off to strut my stuff. I think there are some hotties in the food court!"

She left. Ms. Cooper came up to Lynn and put her arm around her and started laughing. So did Lynn.

She walked to the back with Lynn as Lynn clocked in. "Lynn, I have some ideas for your slumber party tomorrow. Come to the office I have some supplies."
