The atmosphere tonight was electric. From where she was standing near the sidelines, Reina could feel the excited buzz from the San Patricio supporters on the bleachers. Even her toes tucked in her cheerleading shoes were tingling.

The crowd turnout for the football game was amazing. A full house.

And best of all, it was almost half time and Matteo had steered his team to a 3-0 lead. Academia El Pilar was struggling badly, making lots of unnecessary mistakes.

"Wow, look at Matteo go!" Angelina breathed, doing a little hop of joy.

"I don't know anyone else who can make football maneuvers look so sexy," Itzel agreed.

Reina threw Angelina and Itzel a sidelong glance. These two girls were certainly the biggest airheads on her cheerleading team.

It's not like their cheer captain – who happens to be Matteo's girlfriend – is standing right next to them and can hear how they're swooning shamelessly over him, Reina thought, rolling her eyes.

The phone clasped in her hand buzzed, and Reina saw there were text messages from Ander.

Ander: I can't go out there

Ander: I'll look like a fuckin idiot in front of two entire schools

Reina chortled to herself as she typed her reply and got into a quick conversation with Ander.

Reina: Don't worry. The 3 of you gonna be fierce and fabulous

Reina: Remember who you had as a cheer coach? ;)

Ander: I can't remember anything... Especially the cheer moves

Ander: Why did I think we could do this???

Reina: Ander Muñoz the drama queen, as always

Ander: Can I go home?

Reina: I dare you to try

Reina: Don't forget, I know where you live ;)

Ander: Damn

Reina: It's almost time

Reina: Go kick ass!

Ander: Ughhhhh

Another laugh escaped Reina's bright red lips. As she pocketed her phone, she heard the referee's whistle that signaled the game's half time.

Reina watched the San Patricio and Academia El Pilar teams leave the field for their 15-minute break. A moment later, three new boys in light grey shirts and black sports shorts entered the pitch, taking the central spot.

It was showtime.

"And now for our half-time entertainment," a voice blared from the speakers, "We have a very special cheer performance by three students from Las Encinas. Put your hands together for Ander, Guzmán and Polo!"
