The next week...

Carina's Pov

Last week was normal, except for Maya constantly annoying me. Today was cheer tryouts which i was excited about. It was something about cheer though, good and bad things could happen. The fun part for me was the flipping and flying through the air part, tumbling was never my thing. The adrenaline coursing through your body before competitions was also the best part. In order for that to happen, not just one girl on the team needs to be good, the entire team needs to be good, because each and every one of those girls roles matter.

Base position, one of the most important positions. Base athletes stay on the ground, and watch the flyer at all times. If theyre not strong enough, the top girl isnt safe. Their job is to provide primary support for the top girl during a stunt.

Backspot position, they work to help the top girl or flyer keep balance. They should be the first to catch the flyer if she falls.

Top girl or flyer, the one being lifted and thrown into the air during stunts. They energetically twist and flip through the air putting all their trust into base and spotters to catch them. Being top girl means confidence because once youre up there, no mistakes can be made.

"Carina with Maya" i was knocked out of my thoughts when the teacher called my name. We we're currently getting partnered up for a science project.

"Carina" the teacher repeated. "Im sorry?"I said not hearing her first statement.

"You and maya take table 6" she repeated, the tables we're like bench tops with chair stools. I walked over to sit next to where Maya sat. This was gonna be hell. The teacher finished assigning seats.

"Okay, i like where we're all at so with that being said, this will be your seats for the rest of the semester" she said as the class groaned and moaned, some cheered.

Andrea

A: goodluck, for tryouts and having to deal with Maya all semester😬

C: ugh, are you staying for tryouts?

A: Yeah, ill be watching from the bleachers, cant miss the greeting of the new coach, and ofc to see you kick ass.

C: Thanks💗

A: Andrea loved 'Thanks💗'

"Andrea" Maya chuckled. "I wonder what lies she's filling your head up with" she put her elbows on the table leaning foward looking over towards me.

"She's a really nice person to have around." I said bluntly giving her tight lipped smile.

"Mhm, well thats the first" she shot at me. "See i believe we got off on the wrong foot."

"No, i dont think so, youre a bully and i dont like people like that, so how about we keep this conversation school realated." I told her.

"Okay, fiesty i like it, are all Italians like that? Pretty? Well gorgeous" she leaned into my ear. "In this case" she whispered. Okay that was hot, but im not even into girls and even if i am, my family would kill me.

"Dont you have a girlfriend or someone...Victoria was it." I asked, i saw her body language oddly shift.

"Anyways" she exaggerated. "Where are we doing this project? Mine place or yours?" She asked.

"It doesnt matter."

"Fine my place it is, after cheer practice." She said as she walked out of class. I followed her as the bell rang.
