We Come Alive 3

The Death Letter

The following afternoon, since the football players were still all focused on recovering from their week off at camp, that didn't mean the cheerleaders had any breaks while they were gone. They had practice everyday and were practicing more stunts, cheers and dances.

They were ending their practice with doing their biggest routine full out and like they were performing so they didn't have any mistakes or if they did, to know what to work on tomorrow. As Jessica was put into the air and being held up by only her ankle, she stuck out her leg and smiled brightly.

Her smile grew more genuine when she saw the gym doors open quietly and a familiar light brown haired boy walk in with his friend. Jessica smiled as she wanted to wave, but couldn't. Stephen and Jacob walked into the practice and stood with some of the girl's' parents waiting for practice to be over.

"Go Jaguars!" Jessica yelled out with excitement behind her voice. She was thrown into the air and was caught by her base before their coach called for practice to be over.

Jessica quickly ran off and grabbed her bag so she could meet Stephen. Today was the first time she'd seen him since he'd left for football camp. Jessica ran over to him and watched as he easily caught her and held her up.

"Oh my god! I missed you!" Jessica squealed. "How was it?" She asked, giving Stephen a kiss before looking between the two of them.

"It was fine." Stephen shrugged. "I'm probably not gonna want to be around them for the next couple days. We got tired of each other."

Jacob snickered as he nodded agreeing. "Hell yeah. We're exhausted of each other. And we ain't got practice until Wednesday, I'm so done with being around them."

Stephen chuckled before smiling to Mila who was walking up behind Jessica with another girl following right behind her.

"Hey, Mila. How you been?" Stephen greeted.

Mila smiled back as she swallowed the water she had just drank from her water bottle. "I'm good. Just splitting my time between cheer and hanging out with Diego."

"Where's he at now?" Jacob frowned, knowing Diego wouldn't come to her cheer practice because it wasn't really his thing.

"Home. He's hanging out with Ricky." Mila answered, she turned to the girl next to her and put her hand on her shoulder. "Boys this is Macy. She's one of the new cheerleaders on a team."

"Hi." Macy smiled. "Nice to meet you both."

The boys waved back and introduced themselves to her before starting up a small conversation with her. She was a senior fresh from Arizona. She was white with blonde hair, green eyes, and her long hair in a ponytail on the top of her head.

Right when their conversation ended, the girls ran off to the dressing room of the cheerleader facility that they practiced at since the school was still under construction. Stephen and Jacob just stood around and tried to be out of the way of everyone else until the three girls came back to the main room before they all just went outside. It was sunny outside so it wasn't to bad to be standing outside for a few minutes.

"I have to go." Mila smiled, swinging her keys around in her hand. "I gotta pick my brother up from summer school."

Jessica hugged her goodbye before facing Stephen. When she looked at him, he was texting on his phone. "Who you texting? Your other girlfriend?"
