Charlie the Cheerleader

Charlie had been a member of Storm Chaser Cheerleading Team since he was 8 starting out on the kids team but showed such talent that at 13 he was put on the main (late) teens and adults team, the height difference was jarring so they made him a flyer and acrobat. That had been his place for two years, Storm Chasers had made it to country championships and were auditioning to be the team that preforms during the half time at the UEFA football games they were hoping for the women's games as they were in local stadiums thanks to male stadium directors saying the women's match would bring them no money whatsoever, yeah multiple sell out stadiums equals no money.

His medals were displayed proudly in his room and kept his uniforms pristine, they ranged from practice gear to the varying ones, games they wore blue and purple, competitions they wore blue and silver, for promotional events they wore purple and silver and finally for activities involving the public they wore black, silver and blue. White shoes were a MUST and they had all developed ways into keeping them white. School would never guess he was a cheerleader, they would just ask him to do backflips constantly maybe even a few side ariels here and there. After rugby Charlie got on his bike and made a mad dash to the sports centre they train at, "Charlie there you are!" "Sorry got held up," he laughed strapping his support onto his right knee, "Fairs fair right, warm ups then we're practicing our audition remember if we get in UEFA we'll be wearing white and electric blue as a universal cheering for booth sides," Sam whistled ordering people into position.

Auditions were that weekend and nerves were running high. The 40 members including spares were dressed proudly in there blue and silver uniform, it was a dark top with a glitter seam on the silver panel that read in purple 'Storm Chasers', it was long sleeved but the skirts and shorts had the same pattern, silver and purple stripe down the sides. There pom poms were the classic one was a purple and silver while the other was blue and silver. It was a long shot even succeeding. He was in school when Sam posted the result in the chat, his face lit up reading that Storm Chasers had been chosen as the official cheerleaders, "Mr Spring if it is so important that it interrupts my lesson you are to share it with the class," "Alright then guess whose team got chosen to play a role in UEFA women's football this year," "Yours?" "Duh! We're going to be inside Old Trafford, Brighton and Hove Albion, Southampton's St Mary's Stadium, Wembley Stadium, Stadium MK and many others like this is awesome!"

Immediately they began preparing choreography and sent off measurements for uniforms, they were plain but it was neutral to all countries playing. As a gift UEFA sent them jackets with the 2022 UEFA logo on the right hand side and there Storm Chasers logo (a purple and blue crossed lightening bolts then SC in the middle) on the left, there names were listed under the 2022 UEFA logo, there last names were across the shoulders the trophy on the back and 'cheerleader' across the bottom. The whole thing was a royal blue with the white logos and names, on there own accords they had sewn the team logos down the sleeves which 16 teams took up almost all the sleeve space.

"Charlie whats going on?" Nick finally asked, it was the first time in a while that they got to spend anytime together out of school, they were sat in Charlie's bedroom playing card games, "I should have told you lot from the start I'm a cheerleader! A flyer for Storm Chasers," "Aren't they the team thats cheerleading for the UEFA women's this year?" "Yeah that's us," Charlie stood up to shut his bedroom door to access the cheerleading gear, "Red, white and blue kit we're nervous 100% all to maintain neutrality," "Oh so if a team with red in it's flag plays you wear white or blue cool, what do you have to wear for England?" Depends on who there against but as they are in with Austria, Norwary and Northern Ireland we will have to wear blue," "What about school though?" "Shoot forgot about that, I'll have to arrange something," "Offer them tickets," "Best of all I will be in either Rotherham or Manchester, as so many venues especially on the larger side didn't think it would he worth there money they didn't offer to host so 24 matches across 13 days meaning there'll have to double up. Sorry for ranting," "No rant you need to," "We have to split the team in two and send to two different matches back to back we'll be busy from the 5th to 18th before a rest and then regrouping from the quarter then semi's. 40 including the 10 spares, we're gonna have to 20 a team as well as calling back past members and some of the younger cheerleaders from the older again team, they said it's not worth calling up players from the teenagers team as it was enough of a hassle getting permission for me and I was on the team before had!" Charlie flopped onto his bed next to Nick, "When are you finding out your schedule," "In about two hours your going and I'm going straight to practice where it will be discussed," "How will it be done?" "Northern and Southern team, A and B, hell if we want to go to the stadium or not," he laughed looking up at the graph they had been given. "Hey if you meet Mary Earps get a photo of her," "Don't not cool man," "Kidding, kidding! What are you doing?" "Getting changed here," Charlie smiled pulling out his training gear and looked across at Nick, "I've got time do you want to help." Not touching that, "When are we going to start telling people," "Sports day probably tell them then get out," "Can't it's the 18th right?" "Yeah why?" "I will be in Manchester or Rotherham."

Charlie enjoyed spending the next 25 days in hotel rooms and cheerleading in the half time, having an absolute blast. He was travelling the country in the Women's UEFA coaches with 'Storm Chaser Cheerleaders' plastered across the side, they all had pictures with it. "Charlie what school do you go to?" "Truham why?" "It's a slight detour on the way to Vitality we're hours ahead so do you want to go to your sports day your mum gave us your PE kit,

" of course he wanted to! Had to sign in at reception and tell them he had to leave early. "Oh my god Charlie!" Elle exclaimed jumping at him, "Umph I'm miss you," "How is cheerleading for the European champions?" "Incredible but right now I'm attending my school sports day!" He smiled running out to meet the boys. Out of nowhere with the run up he did a Roundoff then into a double back handspring to full, "Since when could you do that?" Nick joked, "Since a while ago."

Sports day was amazing but all great things come to an end, the Storm Chasers coach pulled up, "Charlie we gotta, how many balls are in that tree?" He asked pointing up at the tree, "We can't get up there," Miss Singh sighed, "Charlie come here," Luca ordered a plan forming, "Here we go," Charlie lined up with the tree, Luca came up behind him hands on his hands on his waist, "1,3,5,7," they time sinked as Luca tossed Charlie up onto his arms holding him up, took two minutes and all the balls were out of the tree. Luca moved them out from under the tree then tossed Charlie to then stipend the landing, "Right lets go!"

Final whistle blew and that was it England's Lionesses won. Charlie could say he was there on the pitch cheering with the crowd in the special routine they put together for the winners. Best day of there lives, the medals were presented by Prince William, Duke of Cambridge for the participation. All forty of them, it was incredible. Parties lasted till the early hours and Charlie was the only one 'not drinking' because he was under age, yeah.

For Halloween this year Nick and Charlie were invited to a party at 8 in theory Charlie would have enough time to take Oliver out trick or treating or he wouldn't be allowed to go, Tori would cover for him anyway. He and Nick were coordinating costumes, Charlie is wearing an old competition outfit and Nick in similar colours is in a rugby uniform, cute couples costume CHECK! Any excuse for Nick to see him in something skimpy he can behave like a grotty old man sometimes but rarely and it was cute when Nick did it. That just sounded weird.
