Bring It On: In It To Win It

First Day

It was the first day of cheer camp. Teams from all over the country were coming to compete to win the title and go on the world tour. We've won three times in a row against the Sharks, narrowly. We arrived at the Hard Rock Hotel and Brooke spotted the Sharks.

"Oh my god, Carson, I'm like so glad you came back this year." Brooke said sarcastically. "Hey Brooke, of course we came back." Carson said with a smile. "After loosing to us 3 years in a row, it's like so brave." Brooke was the ultimate bitch. "Yo can we burn this least coast trash?" Aiysha said. I didn't even notice the rest of the conversation after I made eye contact with Ruben. We were secretly together and no one knew, not even Brooke or Carson. Which was hard given that Brooke was my best friend.

"Practice in 10 minutes!" Carson screamed which broke me out of focus.

The Sharks were practicing their cheers as Brooke, Chelsea, and I were laying by the pool. "I think it's time for a little gorilla warfare." Brooke insisted. "Brooke where are we gonna find gorillas?" Chelsea said. She was not the brightest. Chelsea and Brooke started to try and distract the Sharks by dancing and all of a sudden Aiysha comes over and confronts them. Carson ripped her away and they walked off.

Brooke, Chelsea, and I were walking to the opening ceremony when we saw Penn. "Ouu Penn looks hot." Chelsea said. "Chelsea don't." Brooke said snapping at her. It was obvious the both of them had a crush on Penn. "You both make it so obvious, just know that." I said with a smirk. Brooke rolled her eyes at me. Penn was jokingly flirting with Chelsea. Brooke and I both looked at each other disgusted. Then Brooke stepped in. "Alright who is she?" Brooke asked annoyed. "What?" Penn giggled. "The girl who's making you stupid." Brooke said. "Alright check it out, I met her today when i was running. Her name is-" "Carson!?" we all said. "Right" Penn said with a smile. "Wrong! She a Shark! She's the freaking captain of the Sharks! What did she say? What did she want? What did she ask about out routines?" Brooke went off. "Yeah right, cheering was the last thing we talked about." Penn said. "Penn she's like your sworn emeny. I swear it." Chelsea said. Brooke and I both looked at her. "Trust me she's not my enemy." Penn said with a smirk. We went after him. "Penn you need to know, Carson's a two-faced, back-biting, man-eating shark!" Brooke yelled. I rolled my eyes. I never hated Carson but Brooke always had and I never knew the true reason just that "She's a Shark". "Yeah and guys hate biters." Chelsea said. "Why you guys busting on me?" Penn was getting annoyed. "Because you don't get it!" Brooke said. "Yeah I think I do." Penn said cocky. We all knew Brooke truly wanted Penn.  "Don't flatter yourself Penn. This is about our team. About winning!" "So now what captain? You're gonna forbid me from seeing Carson?" Penn asked. "I would never do that." Brooke stated. "Good cause it wouldn't work." Penn said walking away. Chelsea threw her badge down and complained that Penn can't date a shark. All Brooke said, "Duh. Now guys watch and learn." I knew she had something bad planned.

All the cheerleaders who were with Camp Spirit Thunder joined on the bleachers to listen to Pepper announce the new choreographer, Chicago. Then all the instructors came out and performed an amazing routine. Pepper then made the announcement about the Spirit Stick saying "that each team will experience its powerful aura for one night". Us being the championships from the prior year were the first to get it. Brooke sent Penn up to get it and I knew what was happening. Brooke, Chelsea, and I watch Carson as Penn receives the stick and she instantly freaks out. "Cheer Smackdown!" Brooke says high-fiving us.

We walk up to the Sharks and Carson goes right to Penn. "You're a Jet?" she asks. "Yeah that's a trip huh?" Penn said. "Why didn't you tell me?" "What that I was a male cheerleader?" Penn chuckled. "Yeah that's a real panty dropper. Look I didn't mean any-" Penn was cut off. "Did Brooke tell you to play me!?" Carson said. "Sucks to be you huh?" Brooke said. "Carson I didn't know you were a cheerleader. Look- and what's the big deal? I'm a Jet. So what?" Penn said. "So what!? I cannot have an inter-cheeracial relationship!" Carson yelled.
The argument was interrupted by everyone's phone ringing. It turned out to be Vance, the owner of Camp Victory, which is also our camps rival. He was saying he had a secret weapon of his Flamingo team having round off back-handspring doubles. Everyone closed the message and started to chatter. "Everybody it is alright Vance Vorhees is just trying to psyche us out okay? And it didn't work last year and it's not gonna work this year." Pepper stated. Brooke turns to us. "We always win. Nothings gonna stop us this week." "Except the Sharks." Carson said. "Your little tricks not gonna work Brooke. Making sure I knew Penn was a Jet makes it that much easier to resist him." "Ouch. I'm no player but I thought I had a little game" Penn said. "Sorry Penn but I only got one thing on my mind and that is crushing your squad." Carson said with a smile. Brooke stepped forward, "Not even in your dreams Carson." Carson smiled with attitude and said her and the Sharks were done here. Brooke waved them off and Ruben winked at me.
