Bring It On: In It To Win It

Day 3

I woke up the next day to meet up with Brooke and Chelsea for practice. You could tell I was crying all night. Puffy face, puffy eyes, bad mood.

Practice was hell but I realized Ruben never cared about me since he called me a thief and liar.

Chelsea, Brooke, and I were sitting on the bench and we spotted some Prairie Dog cheerleaders going up to Pepper saying the Sharks lost the stick. Honestly I didn't care what punishment they were gonna get. I was kinda glad they were gonna get the wrath from Pepper.

It was lunch and we were sitting together as a team. Penn came up to us with a wad of cash and said "this is all the money I've got on me right now so I'll give you the rest as soon as I can." "That's not what I care about." Brooke said getting up gesturing Penn to sit down. "So what's your deal the both of you? Do you wanna be here or not?" she said. "At this minute not so much." Penn said and I kinda agreed. "I'm serious. We wanna win and now you know what kinda SNAKES those Sharks really are." she said. "Yeah they're like snarks, the enemy" Chelsea said. "Yeah I get it Chelsea." Penn said. "Do you? Look I get it. You're not into me. Nothings gonna happen. But it will happen for this team. And the only way it's gonna work is if we do this together." Brooke said. "Yeah so are guys with us or what" Chelsea asked. Penn and I looked at each other and smirked then looked at Brooke and Chelsea. "J to the E to the T to the S" We put our hands together. "JETS KICK ASS FROM EAST TO WEST!" we yelled.

We were walking around the resort and we over heard the Sharks talking to the "cheer spirits". We got the idea to mess with them. We all started making noises and then we threw exploding soda bottles over the fence scaring them.

"Thats for trying to get us cursed freaks!" Brooke said. "Yeah except that you don't deserve!" Carson said running up to us. "Like we needed the spirit stick to win. You couldn't even beat me in a cheer off, loser." Brooke said. "Alright that's it you want a real battle? Sharks and Jets right now! Fair fight no contact." Carson said. We all yelled "CHEER RUMBLE". "Let's go." Carson and Brooke said hitting the fence.

We all ran to the main roadway and battled it out. We both ended in a 2 2 1 pyramid. The lights turned on and security caught us. The lights threw us off and we all came crashing down. Half of our teams were hurt.

We end up in Peppers office in front of the council.

"What happened tonight is an all time, an all time low for Camp Spirit Thunder. You just ruined this camps chances against Vance! And even worse? You lost my spirit stick!" Pepper said to us.

"Brooke give Pepper back her spirit stick!"

"Hey loser if I had the stick why would my team have gotten hurt!?"

"Because your team started the rumble!"

Carson and Brooke went back and forth until Pepper blew her whistle.

"Enough! You kids have let down yourselves, your camp, and your country! Take a look around, neither of you have enough team members to compete now. So in the morning, when you get up there'll be buses here waiting to take you all home, goodnight!"

We all got mad. As we were walking out I caught eye contact with Ruben. We just shook heads. We walked out and went to our rooms and just packed our bags.

I laid in bed wondering what's gonna happen next. I thought this whole trip was a disaster. It was nothing but a sorry trip. I lost my boyfriend. Chances of winning. Chances of seeing my boyfriend win. It was all for nothing.
