Cringefest 2018: The Competition [COMPLETED]

Navio V

"Somos Luchadores!" the only four male cheerleaders of Campana start.

"Go Yso!" says Orelya as the girls start following the 'Somos' cheer.

"Somos Casa de Campana!" the cheerdancers continue. "Somos Luchadores, Campana! Somos Luchadores, Campana!"

The snare is drummed on repeatedly, finishing off with a bang.

"That's it?" April questions.

"No, cheerdance isn't as short as Ann and Linsey are," Orelya replies.

"What'd you say?!" Linsey replies. "Hello? Have you measured your own height?"

Arabian-sounding music suddenly goes off. The female cheerleaders put on their veils, while the men at the corners put on their bandanas.

"Damn, those arms...!" says Linsey. "We Navio can beat them, though! Right, Orelya?"

"Yep!" Orelya and April reply.

"Jinks, you owe Calvin a Coke," says Orelya.

"I didn't bring any money today," responds April.

"Then you get the Coke straight out of the vending machine. Stick your hand in, or something."

"Like we have vending machines in school."

"Like you ever knew I have a bottle o' Coke in my bag and you can't have it."

"Why? I want some."

"Because I already drank it, dummy."

"Oh."

The cheerdancers continue, forming a four-person high pyramid in the middle along with two smaller ones at the sides.

"Oh my. Four-people-high pyramids," says Orelya. "But I can do better than that."

"Oh, is that Ysobel at the top?" asks April.

"No, that's someone else. Ysobel's on one of the smaller ones at the side."

Suddenly, Ysobel (left pyramid) and Isabela (right pyramid) jump down, while the people atop the four-high pile safely make their way to the bottom.

"The top girl should've done a leap of faith," comments Orelya.

"You're talking about Sofia?" replies Linsey. "That's too dangerous."

"It would've looked pretty majestic, though," says April.

"Well, it's just too bad the mats aren't as soft as cushions or anything," Linsey responds.

"I guess you're right."

"This is starting to get mundane," says Orelya after a while. "I want this to end so badly."

"You're right," April agrees. "There's no way Campana's gonna win with this... trash."

"Yeah. Wait till I jump up to the school roof and faint down!"

"Well, you are gonna — nah, I'm not gonna spoil anything," responds Linsey.

Finally, half of them gather at the middle and make it as if Isabela had a hundred arms.

"Oooooh," the audience goes.

Their performance ends when the several arms at the back spread out wide, and the other cheerleaders get one leg up.

"That sucked," says Orelya.

The next team — Cangrejo — gets into position as the Campana go back to their area.

"Hey Yso!" Orelya shouts. "You guys absolutely suck at cheerdance!"

"Thanks, Orelya!" Ysobel responds energetically.

"Let's watch," says Linsey.

"Cangrejo destruiros a todos!" the Cangrejo shout as the cheerdancers immediately start forming small pyramids.

"Go Sadrine!" says Orelya. "Make Moro proud!"

Sadrine, at the top of the left-most pyramid, gradually raises her right leg up and spreads her arms out like wings.

"HOOOOOOLY MOTHAFUCKIN' COW!" Shawn gasps.

"You said jumping a while ago was dangerous?" remarks Orelya.

"I don't know anymore," Linsey responds.

The cheerleaders atop the pyramids jump down, like Ysobel and Isabela did.

"Give me a C!" they shout as they form two rows of people. Sadrine raises a sheet of paper with the red letter 'C' on it.

"Give me an A! Give me an N! Give me a G, R, E, J, O!"

Every letter of 'CANGREJO' turns up raised. They're all capital and glittering red.

"That's a cliché move, isn't it?" Orelya comments.

"Yeah, it is," April replies. "Though Campana would have been better doing it."

"Maybe."

More than half the cheerdancers suddenly exit, and the remaining go in a semicircle. A man in a black coat (still wearing a Cangrejo shirt) enters holding a cross.

"Woah, Cangrejo's campaigning for Crucifijo!" Orelya exclaims. "Sportsmanship indeed!"

April responds with an OK symbol, raising three fingers up.

The priest moves to each cheerleader left in the area, making the sign of the cross with his right every time he passed by someone.

Meanwhile, a few of the Crucifijo cheerleaders — Ann included — begin doing their house cheer.

"Yeah, Crucifijo legitimately agrees," says April.

The performers gather into a full circle, huddling as the priest exits. "Cangrejo destruiros a todos!" they shout. Then, the other Cangrejo cheerdancers enter again.

"Hyat-choo!" goes Linsey, sneezing.

"Bless you!" says Orelya, imitating the Cangrejo priest.

"Cartwheels, really? Anyone signing up for cheerdance should and would know how to do a cartwheel!" Orelya comments arrogantly.

"Jesus, man, you're worse than Ann," responds April.

"The hell'd you say about me? One does not simply call me, Orelya Marcos-Powell, worse than a narcissist! I'm the very definition of perfection, don'tcha know?! DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? KUNG SINO AKO? HMM?!!"

God. Orelya's that egotistical.

"Of course, she's just pullin' yer leg, April," says Linsey. "Go watch the cheer– oh, frick, it's almost our turn!"

"Good luck," says April.

Wait, how'd she read my mind?

"Well, we haven't been given a signal yet, so we'll still be here for a while," Linsey responds.

The cheerleaders pull out red pom-poms from their pockets.

"Really? Seriously, the Cangrejo are so cliché. There's no way they could win SportsFest," states April. "Ann even mistook their symbol for a Rorschach test... Whatever that is."

Orelya does the sign of the cross, imitating the priest again. "The most they can get is second, and the least we Navio will have is first."

"Navio de Campiones!" April responds.

"Yep!"

"Cheerdancers, where are you?" Kira asks.

Orelya and Linsey raise their hands.

"Go to the left of the gym, now!"

"I'll be watching on my own, then," April mumbles to herself.

"Cangrejo destruiros a todos!" they end after a while.

Everyone, especially the Cangrejo, applaud.

"Now it's time for Casa de Navio!"

"Time for Navio to shine!" says Aisac.
