It had been a couple of days since my talk with Joe and to be honest I wasn’t feeling the littlest bit nervous for cheetah practice tonight. I had received about 20 texts from Matt telling me to stop being rude to Carly and asking me what was wrong but I refused to answer them. He even called me a couple of times and left like 10 ten voicemails… If I had of listened to them I would have known he was crying
I arrived at cheetah practice with 20 minutes to start I figured, I would get Reagan to teach me the dance because we were opposite to each other. By the start of practice I had the main bits of the dance nailed. I just had to figure out the last couple of movements and then I’d be good.
When everybody had arrived, Joe and Brad told us we were going to be having a group discussion about team expectations. Joe explained how nobody should be cheering on this team, just because they want to be famous and anyone in this entire gym that had a cheerleb bow would no longer have one after they all sold out. Joe talked about how we had to act like a team and a family and having people ranked higher than the rest wasn’t a good way to go about it. After our talk we started getting into the work.
We started with our stunt practice which meant I had to be around Matt, who seemed to be ignoring me, which although it hurt, I understood why he was doing it. My stunt group hit 85% of the time we worked on it which had Bri running around screaming “WE HIT WE HIT” which was pretty funny. I looked over the other side of the mat to see Pey working really hard on her standing full which I didn’t even no she had. But I guess that’s what happens when you ignore you best friend for a week right?
Before I knew it Matt was coming over to tell me we had to practice our pyramid. I froze on the spot their, there was no way in hell I was doing that pyramid. “ I don’t want to “ “ Come on Jamers stop being a baby” “ I’m not going to hurt people” Matt sighed heavily before signalling to Brad and Joe that he’d convince me to come. “ Jamers, I believe in you and I know that you can do this, you’re the best centre of the pyramid I’ve ever seen trust me” “Better than Carly Matt?” “Yes, Jamers better than Carly, so please do this for me and afterwards you can go back to hating me if you like?” “Fine” Matt held my hand and pulled me over to the rest of the team.
I doubled up into the air and pulled a pretzel mount, before turning into a basic stunt position and continuing to help the girls I was holding flip. I could sense that they one man was coming up quickly so I told myself to calm down and just throw it. Hit your shit remember Jamie, I told myself. I pancake down from my stunt and get twisted up again into a one man, so far all steady and neat. This is the part Jamie, you can do it, Matt was watching me from the side of his pyramid and I spun the girls around into their baskets with no fail which had me do a little fierce hand movement before coming down and moving into the dance.
I felt so excited afterwards that without thinking I ran right to Matt and jumped onto him hugging him and in doing that making him fall to the floor. “I did it Matt, because of you I did it, Can you believe that OMG I DID IT PEOPLE” “I know Jamers, I’m so proud of you” He smiled up at me before staring at my lips which made me go all funny on the inside. I realised that I was still straddling him and stood up helping him up in the process. “Sorry Matt, I didn’t mean to get so carried away”… I mumbled before walking away to get a drink.
I couldn’t believe I nearly kissed Matt. Come on Jamie you gotta stay more focused than that. I couldn’t help it though, his lips were so close and if I had just leant in we would be touching and it would be amazing. OMG I sound like a lovesick girl, sorry brain. Joe told us we would be having a 30 minute break so I thought it would be good to catch up with Peyton and let her know how sorry I was. I called her over and explained to her what had been happening and how that was why I was ignoring her and everyone else. I felt so bad, but so happy when she told me that she got her standing full, seeing as she couldn’t even back handspring last year because of a really bad mental block.
I told her that if she wanted to she could come and have a sleepover because Reagan and I were already having one. She said yes of course which was awesome because I really missed our quality time together. I noticed she was wearing our best friend necklace and I told her how important she was to me and that nobody would replace her in a million years. That may sound corny but Peyton and I’s friendship was seriously a big deal to the both of us.
After break was over we said our goodbyes as she went to her side of the gym and I went to mine. I found myself staring at Matt a lot at the moment. I mean seriously Matt why would you take your shirt of, I mean do you want me to just grab you and ravage you because I’m this close to. Ok, just ignore that whole comment, I’m not weird I’m a perfectly normal girl who has a incredibly hot guy in front of her okay, yes cool. I sound like an animal, LIKE A CHEETAH. I yelled out to nobody in particular, which meant I had people staring at me because of my weirdness, understandable
. For the last 20 minutes of class we were working on our jumps and how to get them all to either look straight or hyperextend, I focused more on getting my left herkie and pike jump perfect because I wanted to be closer to the front for jumps this year. It was my one goal for the season asides from getting a standing full which I was working on.
When Brad announced that class was over I literally fell dead on the spot, I was so tired and drained that I was content with sleeping on the gym floor. It wasn’t until Reags and Pey came over to me and said if you don’t come home now we aren’t picking you up later. “ Hey it’s my car you dumbdos” I yelled at them quickly running out of the gym to reach them in time but of course I knock into someone, that someone being Matt. “Shit, I’m sorry Matt but I really gotta go otherwise there gonna steal my car and I gotta go bye” I rushed out just making it to the car on time before they sped of down the road. I sent Matt a sorry text with a heart, because I wanted him to know I meant it. Even though were not really friends doesn’t mean I wont apologise if I do something right?
I've been updating so much since I started it yesterday and can't believe I'm getting views. If y'all want to comment suggestions and vote that would be awesome ;) Love y'all xx
