With the morning behind her, Cordelia could finally focus on what lied ahead after school: her presidential debate.

She felt prepared, but she was still nervous about how she would be up against Anya VanAmstel-Joy. She wanted to win just as bad as her, and Anya could be intense.

Luckily with class on her heels she could dissipate out some of her nerves by focusing on taking notes.

She went to her first period class and sat next to Jordie just before the bell, but Angela Pleasant strolled in just after it.

"Ms. Pleasant, it's only the second day of school. Please don't make your lateness a habit." Mr. Brewer scolded her.

"Please," Angela scoffed. "30 seconds after the bell rings is nothing. Don't Hassel me, Mr. Brewer. My mother is on the PTA. She could have your job."

"Angela is so bad," Jordie smirked. "You know she's only doing it because she didn't make cheer squad cuts, so she's hoping I'll see her being a badass and put in a good word. How desperate."

"Desperate or not, if she doesn't stop, she'll get in trouble."

"Pfft, she'll be fine!"

"Besides, we've got more interesting things to talk about." Jordie shot her a side eye.

"You mean my debate today? I know, I'm so nervous."

"No, not that! I mean," She lowered her voice, "How'd it go with Jai yesterday? You guys talked?"

"Oh. Umm, sort of, but not really."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means, we started talking, but Matthew interrupted us. And then after that I ran my debate club table and we never ran into each other again."

Jordie let out a sigh. "You two are infuriating."

"Listen, Jai's taking that pass the school gave everyone in after school activities to use to watch the debate today. You should hang back after and talk to him."

"Why?"

"Because. Trust me."

"OK." Cordie said with a shrug. "Will you be there?"

"Of course not. Izzy and I are brand new recruits. We've gotta build up loyalty and whatever."

"But you just said the school—"

"I know, but this is important to me, Cord. I want to be head cheerleader one day. I can't mess that up."

"Fine." Cordie sounded a bit dejected..

Jordie, noticing her BFF shrinking a bit under the pressure, continued on, "You'll do great, babes. I'll be cheering for you in spirit. A special cheer just for you. So don't sulk."

"I'm not and I won't. Good luck at cheer practice. I'll be cheering for you too." Cordie smiled.

She'd miss Jordie being in the audience of her debate, but she knew they were at a crossroads where they'd both be into different things and thus wouldn't always be able to be there for each other. She knew she'd have to learn to be strong without her.

She was determined to be.

"Oh, DeShawn, you're so funny." Jordie giggled.

"I am? Well, you're cute."

"I know." She giggled some more.

While Jordie flirted with DeShawn, Cordelia couldn't help but fume.

"Some buffer. What happened to the promise on our friendship?"

"Relax, Cordie." Cordelia tried to calm herself down. "You knew she would do this. She sees a cute boy, and she just can't help herself. Just....do what she said to do and avoid Aiden. That shouldn't be hard, right?"

While a buffer would've helped, she trudged forward anyway.

"Hi, Mama," She made her first stop over with her mother and Aunty Di just in case if Aiden did come by, she could pretend she didn't notice.

"There you are. You've been hiding in your room a while."

"Oh, umm yeah, I was having trouble deciding on a suit."

"I see." Andrea gave the suit a wry look. "I'm noticing that 'suit' is showing you off in ways I didn't realize had blossomed quite yet."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Cordelia played dumb.

"Cordie, I was a teen girl once, too. I wasn't born yesterday."

"Puberty can happen overnnight. They said so in health class. So I probably just—"

"Cordelia." Dre gave her the eye.

"OK. But can you be a little quiet about it? I just wanted to look a little more grown up. It's not like I'm naked."

"No, but—"

"Mama." Cordie plead.

"Fine. I won't make a big deal of it—this time. But next time we throw a party, I expect you to show up in your natural state with no 'enhancements.' And stay clear of your father. He'll have kittens if he sees you like that."

"Yes, ma'am." Cordie internally sighed with relief.

Lucky for Cordelia, Cameron Henry Fletcher was taking a well deserved nap on a pool floaty at that moment. So fatherly heart attack from his little girl being all grown up swiftly averted😅
