Adapting To The Change

Chapter Five

Lunch ended just as Victoria came in so that was my cue to leave and head for class number six. The last one before school ends and I have cheer tryouts.

I decided to come up with a cheer in my head and think of what moves to do. I have been a cheerleader for a very long time and I have been in a few competitions so I wasn’t worried about what sort of cheerleading I was capable of doing but the people who were watching me.

A couple of guys were coming to watch because they love a good cheer to but I wasn’t worried about them, I was worried the head captain and vice captain. The head captain as you all know was Victoria but the vice, I had know I idea was but apparently she’s pretty stern.

Lesson six flew by and I had actually listened in the lesson.

I headed back to my dorm with Scarlett as we were grabbing things to change into for cheerleading. Scarlett had her cheerleading uniform on which were the colours of red with a tiger on the top and a cute skirt. She looked extremely pretty with the uniform on and her hair tied back in a sleek pony tail.

I put on a sports t-shirt and some cute red shorts that looked like part of the uniform. I put my hair up messily not really bothering but still putting a tiny bit of make-up on as the boys were watching.

We left queen bee behind and headed for the gym. The tryouts had to watch the squad perform first and then queue  outside to try out. All the tryouts did so as the head captain welcomed all of us.

We sat on one of the benches while Victoria projected her voice towards us giving us all the information we needed to know. Just as the squad started their routine some jocks walked in cheering ‘Go Claries Go’ and laughing loudly.

Victoria had to stop the music in order to shut them up and was just about to yell when Scott came out of the crowd and went up to kiss her.

Everyone was sort of looking around awkwardly because they were seriously making out now until one of the boys shouted get a room and they broke apart. I noticed James came to sit next to me. Up on all the benches and chairs in the room the jerk choose this one.

“Hey sexy, are trying out I can’t wait to see you out there,” he purred in my ear while eyeing me up and down. The music started just as I was about to reply with a very good comeback as well when the squad started to dance and cheer and all eyes were on them.

The cheer was amazing literally all of them seemed in good shape as they all did back flicks and summer salts. The guys on the squad were definitely in good shape as the lifted the girls high ending the great performance. Everyone cheered with them at the end and they were awarded with a great applause. I didn’t know they were so good.

Soon it was the tryouts turn and I went out of the gym to go line up out side as they called us in one by one.

I would have been first in the queue but James was holding me up telling me good luck and trying to hit on me, ew.

I patiently waited at the back for my turn but when I was called out my nerves began to kick in. I breathed in and out encouraging myself before I stepped in with a huge grin on my face. Ignoring James’s snug face blowing me kisses I began my routine.

I started with a simple cheer and some dance moves. I thought all was going well but then Vicotria stopped me.

“Okay Jessica, I’m not going to lie but this is pretty terrible,” she began earning some laughs from the jocks and Vice Captain of the squad. “Ill put some music on and you can dance to it while doing your cheer okay,” she stated turning the music on loud volume.

Okay so my cheer pretty much sucked. 2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate, St Claries; yes I admit everyone’s heard it but that’s why I thought I should use it. So I guess I’m just going to have to go along with it. I decided to use a previous cheer that I had used in my competiton before, I just changed the school names.
