I've been practising all afternoon to get this routine perfect ; I learnt a dance from youtube and created a tumbling section routine for cheerleading. I used to always dance until the accident, now that I think about it, I used to do a lot of activities before the accident. When my Dad died because of a car accident, I used food as comfort and I got fatter but I was too overwhelmed to acknowledge it. I quit everything, and all I did was go to school and then come home and eat. But I'm different now anyways I think I'm ready I've been practising for hours so I headed upstairs to my double bed and launched my self onto it and as soon as my head touched the bed, I was a goner.
The deafening alarm woke me up from my sleep. Stupid Alarm ! I headed over to the bathroom to take a shower after I had finished getting ready, I decided to just wear the clothes I was wearing for try-outs to school. I chose a black and white No. 32 varsity crop top with black harem pants and I added my black and white Jordans to contribute to my outfit(Outfit On The Side»). Like every other morning, I grabbed one piece of toast and mumbled a goodbye to my Mom then exited the house as fast I could. I guess, me and my Mom's relationship broke down after my Dad died. Back to today, there was extra traffic today, but I didn't really bother me because I still got to school on time. It seemed that the topic of conversation were try-outs and it seemed that there was a large amount of people trying which worried me. Fuck it, hopefully they'll all be terrible (hopefully !).
"Kacie !" Someone seemed to shout my name so I turned and there was Ky. I held back a smirk and replied "Yes ?"
"Ky, we gonna be late for homeroom !" Someone was trying to shout him.
"I think you should go,someone's calling you and I'll see you in homeroom." I added.
"Right, Bye."Smiling his signature smile that would have girls at his knees. Too bad for him I am NOT one of those girls.
"Deuces !" I smirked and did my signature walk, luckily I didn't fall.
In a few short minutes, I was at homeroom about to take my seat next to awkward girl. But instead I diverted to where Ky and his friends were sat and there was no shock what they were talking about. Try-Outs.
"Hi, I'm Kacie." I decided to speak up and introduce myself since they didn't acknowledge my presence.
"Hey, you already know I'm Ky and That's Jamie,Renae and Dani." Ky replied finally noticing me.
After we were all introduced, we went back to talking about Try-outs.
"Dani, will I get to see you in a short skirt for cheer try-outs ?" Jamie winked and slowly leaned towards her.
"I'm afraid not but maybe in your dreams." She shot him a glare.
"Ouch !" Jamie clutched his 'broken heart". We all burst out laughing but before Dani could retaliate the bell rang.
That was the highlight of my morning ! There was nothing exciting in my lessons because it was the beginning of the semester so we were just beginning to revise. At lunch Ky asked me if I want to sit with them and I definitely could not refuse. Time flew by quick and after what felt like minutes, it was the end of the day and time for try out's. I went through the routine in my head and when my name was called my stomach was in knots. There were three girls in front of me, obviously the judges and I had to impress them so I put on my poker face and went to the middle of the hall.
"Hello, I'm Kacie Stewarts"
"Why do you think you should be on the Dance Team ?"
"I think I should be on the dance team because I love to dance."
"And why do you think you should be chosen to be on Cheer Squad ?" I ended my sentence with my confidence smirk.
"I think I should be chosen to be on the cheer squad because I would be great addition."
"Well good luck and whenever you are ready." She smiled but it seemed like a fake one.
Adrianna's POV
This one radiates with confidence...
They always do and then they're terrible. This year has got to be better than the last. I sigh and slump back into my seat because we all know how it's going to end up. The girl walks off to the stereo and plugs in her phone and chooses the song Like A Boy by Ciara. An unusual song choice but I'm not judgemental.
Kacie's Pov:
Ok....
This is it...
Just Do NOT Mess Up.....
(Dance on the side)
I got lost in the music and I truly did my best after I finished dancing to like a boy, cheerleading music followed and I began my tumbles. I had ended my dance to like a boy in the splits so it was easy to continue from there into a walk over, and then carry on into a round-off that lead to a few flips here and there and when I had landed my final flip. I realised that I didn't mess up !
I didn't mess up !
It Was PERFECTION !!!
Everyone was clapping and they were clapping for me !!!!
I hid my excitement and then gave a confident smirk followed by wide smile.
Adrianna's POV
She's good. Too good. She's perfect.
She can dance and her tumbles were on point. Finally someone who could bring us to victory. I'd like to see Delilah who is captain of Trainwood Tigers Cheer Squad face after she see's Kacie perform with us. I realised a little too late that I had my mouth wide open ; I slowly closed it blushing slightly.
"That was amazing, we'll call you back to tell if you've made it or not."
"Thank you." She replied with a small smile.
There were whispers, it was clearly about Kacie, she was amazing. And not even I can deny it.
"It's Been A Great Day Everyone but Only A Few of You Will Be Chosen so Good Luck and We'll See You Tomorrow !" I said in a bubbly tone because I was Captain of Cheer Squad so I have to 'Peppy'.
Kacie's POV
And that was my cue to exit, I was getting stared at but I took it in a good way and then began to make my way to the parking lot.
"Kacie ?" I heard Renae call me
"Yeah?" I asked confusedly.
"You never said you dance like that. In fact you never said you can dance at all." She seemed shocked.
I chuckled."There's a lot of things you don't know about me but you'll know soon enough" I stuck my tongue out at her.
She began to laugh,
"Well I'll see you tomorrow Kacie."
"Yeahh, See You Tomorrow Renae."
I got into my car and drove home and I didn't even care about my diet. I was so happy, I even spoke to my Mom properly about Try-outs and she looked like she was about to cry. I bit my gum's to stop myself from bursting out laughing ; I ordered takeaway for dinner and it truly was one of the best evenings I've had for a while. Afterwards, I headed up to my bed for a one way ticket to dreamland. Day 2 Complete and Day 3 , I'm going to blow you away !
