Cheer point

Chapter 8: new routine

I stretch my legs  on the mat trying to make sure I don't pull anything today.  Then the coach comes out  she has this interesting look on her face I wonder  what's going on "okay girls welcome to practice today we will learn a new routine!!" Some cheered in excitement and some where nervous I was both leaning a new routine can be hard to learn all within a few weeks but luckily I am a quick learner so it should be easy hopefully. "okay let's all get into our spots. Can I have in the front and then sky and Madison next to her then three behind and then the rest follow!" oh my God did she just say I'm at the front I've never been in the front but now it's not the time to be excited. I need to focus and get into formation.

" okay  so can I have Audrey? I want you to do a standing arm pose sky Madison do a kneel pose and then the rest do a sitting pose "  she walked around to make sure that everyone was in the correct starting position. " Audrey says you are in the front it's going to be a lot of pressure for you so make sure you deserve to be in the front spot because I can't easily have someone else take your spot if you're not ready"  I was not expecting her to say that I didn't even know she had other people in mind to be in the front. I better not mess up then awkwardly. " All right let's start with. Standing tumbling. Make sure that you guys do clean at the end so it looks finished" coach. Samantha watched as the girls were practicing. They're standing tumbling she noticed that Skye is a bit off honor back handspring but she thought she just had a slip up.

" OK girls now we're going to try with music from the top 5, 6, 7,8!" She presses play on Spotify watch us girls start to hear the music coming from the phone and speaker while they were doing their tumbling, she noticed that Skye messed up her back handspring again "Skye I've noticed twice now that you've messed up your back handspring what's going on?" Skye felt all eyes on her it flat embarrassing to mess up something so simple "I- uh Probably just accident, but yeah, holy fine. I'll nail it next time coach Samantha.!" Yeah that was awkward. Never going to backhand spring Skye thought to herself " again remember when the music starts that's when you start!" Coach Samantha stops the music in the middle of the routine "Skye what do I have to tell you you should know how to do it backhand spring. A little kid is probably nine years old can do a backhand spring and you can't come on Skye get it together now!" She pointed her finger at Skye whose face was Turing a red-ish pink.

"Skye that's it I just can't with you do you not understand the corrections? I'm giving you and the corrections your fellow Peter giving you Audrey a back handspring should look like right now." Audrey has never been put on the spot like this before, but she try her best and perfectly does backhand spring. " see Audrey can do it and I bet you Madison can and the rest of the squad can so why are you the only one who is having issues with one!" Skye starts to feel tears rolling down her cheeks "I- can you stop embarrassing me coach Samantha I know how to do a backhand spray. I just don't know what's going on." Coach Samantha rolled her eyes before she responds "Skye I'm not embarrassing you I'm telling you that you need to get your back handspring better to where it needs to be. It's not at the level that it should be at!" I'm so done with this Skye could've just said OK coach Samantha and moved on but nope she's going to make a big deal out of that what a way to waste practice, especially when I'm learning a new routine that these girls have never done or practiced before " I- I- " Skye runs out of the gym crying she runs to the locker room and begins to cry more. " I am trying my best to do a backhand spring and coach. Samantha is making a big deal out of it. She could've just gave me some corrections" I generally don't know what's going on in coach Samantha's mind Skye says she seems like a completely different person. She was so nice and then all of a sudden she became mean

" That's why we do it right now, moving on let's go to running tumbling everyone get in formation whenever you here the music starts go" coach, Samantha fast forward the music to a certain point then she presses play on her phone " OK ladies I think that's enough practice for today. Go ahead grab all your stuff on the locker room and meet in the lobby to wait for your parents. If your ride is already here you may check out." Coach Samantha unplugged speakers and starts to close up the gym. All the girls quickly run to the gym to see if. Skye's okay "omg are you okay!?" Blair sees that Skye is crying and has her  needs to her head " I'm so sorry for coach. Samantha said don't worry we've all been there." Charlotte said to her to make her feel better. " oh my gosh can all of you stop asking me if I'm fine. I don't need 15 girls talking to me at the same time. Can you just please go away? I need space!" Some step back and somewhere in shock she is never done something like this before. I'm hoping that she didn't offend anyone.

Finally see my car pulling up to the gym. I waved goodbye to my friends and get in the.  "So honey, how was practice did you do anything exciting?" I was contemplating whether to tell her what just happened, but I knew that she'd probably find it interesting to what happened " well we learn a new routine, but my friend Skye kept on messing up her  backhand spring and Coach Samantha was not happy about it It got to the point where she ran out of the gym, crying." Hopefully Skye will be mad. I told my mom what happened but that was really the amazing thing that happened at practice so I did kind of answer her question. But not really. " oh my God I'm so sorry. Is she Okay?" I give my Mom a nod  and the rest of the car ride was kind of silent. Nothing else happened.
