Amelia Mae

Chapter 6: Throwdown & Wheels

A/N: I don't own anything but Amelia St. James any other original character which includes the aunt and uncle, parents and siblings of Amelia St. James.

With the rumors of Quinn's pregnancy spreading, everybody was waiting for JBI to post whether or not the story was true. By the end of the week, Coach Sue kicked Quinn off of the Cheerios and the story was posted. I kinda felt sorry for her, I wanted to say something to her, but what would I say to her. I didn't even know her, and I know for a fact that she didn't know me.

By the end of the day, I choose not to speak to her. Things would have been awkward if I did, mostly awkward for me. The only funny part of the week was watching Finn get slushied, well he got slushied with Quinn. I still laughed though.

Anyway, when I walked into the school Wednesday morning, there was a signup sheet for Cheerio tryouts. I slowly walked up to it to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me, and they weren't. I know that Coach Sylvester already wants me on the team, and my guidance counselor said that I need to be more involved with school activities, so I wrote my down and walked away.

I looked around my surroundings to make sure nobody was staring at me, then I walked away. During lunch was tryouts, I had changed into my gym clothes and waiting outside the gym for my name to be called. I was called after a Becky Jackson, I entered the gym and stood in front of Mr. Schue and Coach Sue.

"Amelia St. James?" Mr. Schue asked. I nodded my head. "Show us what you got."

"She doesn't even need to, butt-chin, she's already in gymnastics and a dancer." Coach Sylvester said to Mr. Schuester. "I'm happy that you have finally come to your sense and joined the Cheerios. Stop by my office after school and you will be fitted for a uniform."

Mr. Schue looked like he had no idea what to say, probably because Sue wasn't ever really nice. He just smiled at me, and I left the gym. I went to the girl's bathroom and changed back into my normal clothes. Tomorrow I would be in a Cheerios uniform, it would be so much different from now on. I would not have to worry about ever getting slushied.

After school, I arrived at Sue's office, in there she was waiting for me with two other girls. Two-thirds of the unholy trinity, Brittany, and Santana. "Santana and Brittany, this Amelia St. James, she will be joining the Cheerios starting tomorrow. I want you two to take her under your wing. Show her how it is done." Sue states them. They both nod their heads. I was fitted for my uniform and given a pair of cheerleading shoes. "Amelia, you're just about the right size to be a flyer, I might have to use that," Coach Sue comments. I didn't know what to say that, so I just smile.

"Alright Shorty, here's how to goes, you're a Cheerio now which means you are on top of the social ladder. You have to look and act the part. How this is going to work, just hang with me and Britt and nobody will question a thing as long as you in that uniform. Got it." Santana told me. I nodded my head in understanding. "You're so small," Brittany stated. Santana acted as if it was normal for her random statements, so it must be.

After that I followed Santana to the gym, she showed me to the Cheerios' locker room. "Here is where you keep out bags during practice, there are showers in here as well. Only Cheerios are allowed to use them, you let anybody use it, you better have a damn good reason. Also, don't worry if you see people watching us practice on the bleachers, they like to see us and imagine what it would be like if they were us." Santana announced.

I was allowed to go home after that, I texted my uncle saying that I was ready to leave. He showed up ten minutes, it would usually take longer but he was in town already. "How did it go?" Uncle Daniel asked. "Pretty good, I got my uniforms, two of them to be exact," I explain to him. "Vanessa is going to be ecstatic about you being a cheerleader. She was one in high school," He told me. "Really, I didn't know that," "She wasn't head though, she loved it so much."

We arrived about half an hour later, we lived in a higher end neighborhood. It wasn't gated, but the houses were definitely worth their money. My aunt and uncle's house had five bedrooms and three bathrooms and a finished basement, the rooms were huge. There are two master bedrooms, one belonged to my parents, and the other my aunt and uncle. My parents paid for half of the house while my aunt and uncle paid for the other half, so they share it. There are enough bedrooms for all my siblings and I, with one extra room. When I was younger I had the smallest room but as Kyle and Nicole moved out, Jesse and I took over their old rooms.

When my Aunt Vanessa got home from work, I told that I was one of the newest Cheerios at school. The look on her face said everything. She looked so proud of me. That was the best thing by far to happen today.
