Lauren
Since the pep really is happening last hour, I get to skip gym. However I told Camila I'd participate in their dumb games. So now here I am dressed in Camila's gym clothes and a red bandana around my head. Ally put eye black under my eyes. I look like a preppy football girl.
"Can your shorts be any shorter and your shirt anymore tighter?" I complain again for the hundredth time. "You look fine! Stop pulling on them!" She smacks my hands away. I feel so exposed. "Can I put my pants on!" I groan. "Lolo stop.. I like your legs." She leans into me and whispers. I just smile. Her legs look better but I'll take it.
After sitting on the sink for what seems like forever she finally steps away from the mirror. Her own eyes now have eye black under them. "Are they even?" She looks to me for approval. I grab her cheeks with my finger tips. "Yep." I wink. "Kay come one!" She pulls me after her. I saw her cheeks turning red.
We enter the hall with the rest of the cheerleaders and their picks for the rally games. Everyone looks so red and white. never in a million years would I think I'd be participating in school spirit. Guess all it takes is one person to change everything.
I turn my head away when I see that everyone is staring at me. Well my confidence flew out the window. "Aw you look soo cute Lauren!" Ally squeals. "Right?!" Camila grabs my arm. I look over to her and she smiles from ear to ear. "Ok come on. Lauren follow them, you guys sit on the other side of the gym." Ally rips me away from Camila.
Once everyone is sitting in the bleachers the lights in the gym go off. A spot light lights up the entrance. All this for football. I'll never understand. The speakers pound as the football players comes running through the doors. Everyone screams and cheers. I should probably stand but that requires effort.
After a speech from the coach and some players they introduce the cheerleaders. Now as the spotlight is on them I am on my feet. My heart pounds in anticipation of seeing Camila.
Finally they announce her. "Camilaaaa!" she comes out blowing kisses and the finally kiss she pats on her ass. All the girls had little intro dances but hers was the best. They do some routine with flips and throwing some of the girls in the air. It was all fancy but I only watched Camz.
Now they announced the rally games will start. Crap. The first group of people had to ride tricycles. It was really lame. The second group had to pass balloons back and forth without using their hands. I thank God I didn't have to do that. I'm in the last group and I don't even know what I'm doing until I get in front of everyone.
Before I know it my left leg is tied to Camila's. We're doing a three legged race.

Once Lauren is up for the games I quickly go and grab her. I want her to be my partner in this one. Dinah helps tie our legs together. Ally is being tied to Normani. A few others get tied together too.
I almost lose my balance just straighten up. Lauren's arm goes around waist. I mimic her and do the same. "Ok well go outer legs then inner legs and so on." I coach her. "No promises." She laughs. She's already almost fell over twice.
They yell out "Go!" and we take off. We take off going with our outside legs first then the inside ones. I admit we're doing really good. Her hand has a firm grip around me. Everyone around us cheers as the finish line comes closer. Almost there.
We did it! We won! I throw my other around her and pull in for a hug. She hugs me back. She smells really good. I pull back and she has a face eating grin. "We won!" I shout over the crowd. She just pulls me back into her.
Someone comes to untie our legs and we're pulled apart. I look behind me to see everyone struggling or falling over. It's really funny. I go get Lauren's prize. It's just a school tshirt. I doubt she'll even want it.
