We were now practicing and it was a mess. People were going on the wrong counts, sloppy motions. It was terrible.
"Hey! Ever heard of this new thing called counting!? Everybody stretch now!" Brooke demanded. "Ever heard of team work?" Carson asked. "SHUT UP CARSON!" Brooke yelled. "Yo watch it cuz." Aiysha stepped in. "Yo stop fronting cuz, I heard you with Chicago. You're not just and oreo aiysha, you double-stuffed!" Brooke said. "You're wrong Brooke, my girl she's been pulling drive-bus since she was a shorty, she was drinking 40s of the nipple." "Carson?" "So don't be getting all up in her kool-aid biatch cause i have seen what she's done so fugly swamp donkeys like you foshizzle!" Carson said. I had no idea she knew all of that hood talk. Aiysha pulled her away and they came back.
Aiysha admitted that she was bullied in junior high for being an "oreo" and that's why she acts tough, to get our respect. Brooke said if she wants respect that badly to just be a bitch. Then Chelsea admitted she was a virgin and we all looked at her confused and said it was hard being slutty like Brooke. Then Sarah admitted she's doing cheer cause it's dark and twisted.
Penn stood up annoyed because he said it was like confession and wasn't putting up with it. Carson stopped him and admitted she was scared and that she wishes she could believe in herself like she believes in us.
Ruben then stood up. "I'm not gay." Everyone laughed. "I like girls A LOT." he said. "Are you serious?" Sarah asked mad. "I'm straight. You girls just assumed so once you started changing in front of me I couldn't stop you and then i was like committed. And I'm in a committed relationship." he said. I finally go with it. "Hold up there's no way this guys not gay and i'll prove it." I said going up to him. I kissed him then pulled away. "Okay he is NOT gay." I said. "Yeah and this is who I'm in a relationship with... for 2 years. I've been saying I'm gay to keep our relationship safe." He said. "This is also my confession you could say." I said with a smile. "HE IS DEAD!" Sarah said and all the girls started running after him.
"Okay that was traumatic but good right? I mean now we can work as a team." Carson said. "Yeah a team of freaks." Sarah said. "We are not a team. We can't combine routines and this was a dumbass idea!" Brooke said. "Tell them Ruben we can do this." I said. "We blow, we cannot do this. Because we're cursed all of us." he said. I get up and walk over to him "Holy crap Ruben snap out of it!" I say slapping him across the face. "What have you don't with happy Ruben?" I asked. "It's weird you know now that I'm not gay anymore. Well I'm not gay anymore." he said. "Okay we're freaks but let's make that work for us. Cmon you guys there has to be some way we can perform together" Carson said. "We can start with couples" Penn said turning in the radio.
He walked up to Carson and they started dancing. They seemed natural. I sat there and watched as Ruben came up to me and held his hand out. "I'll take the lead. So like we're gonna copy them" he said pointing at Carson and Penn. "I'm gonna move to the right then to the left." he said. "Start off like that alright?" he said leading me.
"Here we go"
"There you go Maddy"
"From the top again here we go" he said after I twirled him.
We started moving in sinc. "Give me a turn Maddy. There you go." We stared at each other the whole time smiling.
He twirled then dipped me. Then made a move that made me laugh. I stepped away and just looked at what our team was becoming.
"For real. This could work." I said
"And I'll prove it. Get over here." Ruben said grabbing me and dipping me for a kiss.
