Eddie Munson X Reader

Pep Rally Pressure

We walked out of the locker room with our pom poms in our hands. We waited in the corner of the gym for the principal to give us our cue so that we could walk out on the court.

"AND NOW I PRESENT TO YOU THE TIGER CHEER SQUAD!" said the principal with a voice full of enthusiasm. Everyone started cheering and clapping. Me and Chrissy looked at each other and nodded. We all jogged to the middle of the court and shaked around our pom poms.

I got into my position and my heart was beating so fast hopping I wouldn't screw this opening flip up. There were three guys standing around me, one behind me was Andrew, one to the left of me was Jackson, and one to the right was Bradley.

"You ready?" Bradley asked. I nodded

They picked me up. I just stood there till everyone else got into position.

After everyone got into position and started doing their part I looked through the crowd looking for Eddie, I couldn't find him. Where was he?

Then after everyone did their part it was my turn to do the flip. I took a deep breath and bent my knees a bit, the boys lowered their platform a bit and waited for me to let them know I was ready. I nodded and they launched me into the air, I closed my eyes and tucked in my legs. when I opened my eyes I notice I didn't fuck it up I actually landed it. Holy shit I did it.

"Yeahh go y/n!"

Said a familiar voice. I looked at the crowd and I noticed Eddie was next to Gareth. He was smiling and cheering. For me. I couldn't help but smile as I felt my cheeks getting hot knowing I damn well I was blushing over him.

The boy finally put me down and I walked toward the front and started getting ready for the ending flip. As soon as the drums started playing I knew that was my cue to do a triple back handspring. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I pushed myself back, put all my weight on my hands the second they touched the floor and sprung up landing on my feet again. I did the same thing two more times and ended it with a flip. As soon as the tip of my shoe hit the floor I bent my knees and leaned forward a bit with my hands in front of me so I wouldn't lose my balance and fall back. I opened my eyes and fixed my posture and threw my hands up in the air shaking my pom poms.

I looked at Eddie and he was staring right at me. we made eye contact and i tried to play it off by looking around the gym but I know he's not that stupid. He knew I was looking right at him trying to see his reaction.

After that we walked off the court and walked all the way over to the side of the bleachers and sat there. while everyone else was perfectly calm about sitting there i was panicking because Eddie mother fucking Munson was standing right behind me.

Then I felt something tap me on my shoulder and I was praying it wasn't him but praying didn't work. I looked behind me really quick the second our eyes met I turned my head back to facing the center of the gym.

I felt him lean forward as he whispered in my ear.

"you did amazing y/n! no one else could of pulled those moves off as amazingly as you did"

I felt my stomach getting butterflies trying to hold back the biggest smile

"Thanks Eddie" I whispered back. I felt my heart racing faster than the speed of sound. The things this man had the ability of making me do with a single whisper.

"pst, hey y/n... want to hang out after school? it's totally fine if you don't want to and you don't have to say yes cause you feel bad either. I get rejected by girls all the time so I'm kind of immune to the pain . just give me the word and I'll-"

"Eddie! yes I'll hang out with you the answers yes just tell me where you want to meet up and I'll meet you there!"

"ok wow umm didn't actually expect you to say yes umm meet me here in the gym after school."
