"Nope!!! Try that again!!! Take it from the beginning!!!"

Some members of the team groan and suck their teeth as we go back to our first positions. Zeke and Noah put both of my steps in the routine for the competition this weekend. The routine runs smoothly, but once we transition to those new steps, it comes out horrible. I find myself getting upset at some of my team members because they are not getting it right. As soon as we get to our first positions, Zeke counts us off, and we start the routine. As usual, everything goes well, and once we reach my step, all hell breaks loose. The first part sounds good, but everything else after that sounds like shit. I think the only ones who did it right were me, Zeke, Noah, Trenton, and Kenny. Zeke stops us and looks at us.

"And again....from the top..."

This is really ridiculous. This competition is in a few days, and we're not even ready for it. I don't know why everyone's deal is, but everyone needs to get it together now. I really hope Zeke doesn't take out these steps and replace them with old ones. I'm not trying to sound cocky or anything, but these steps are really good, and I think it's perfect competition material. As we continue going through the step, we get to the middle, and once again, the team messes it up.

"What is with y'all today? Why can't y'all get this right? You know what, take five..."

Take five? Hell no. This competition is in a few days, and this nigga is giving us a break? As everyone gets ready to go their separate ways, I speak up.

"No!!! We don't need no break!!!"

"Trey, you're kidding right?" Deion asks

"Hell no I'm not!!! This competition is in a few days, so we can't afford to waste all this valuable time by taking a damn break. Zeke, Noah, y'all want this shit to be perfected right? Now everyone get y'all assess back in the previous position and let's get this shit right!!"

Everyone looks at me, and looks around at each other as if they're confused on what to do next.

"Did I stutter? Get there now!"

As I put a little more bass in my voice everyone jumps and listens to me. We get in our positions and lock up.

"I can't believe we're letting a freshman talk to us like this."

"Damn right....Start off with Headbanger."

I count them off and we do the step. As were doing the step, I notice Zeke and Noah standing up front with their arms folded while watching the team. I could care less if they're mad at me for taking over or not. As of right now, I'm running this shit. We finish the step and it sounded perfect.

"And y'all couldn't get it right the first few times? As many times as we've been doing this, y'all should be doing it in your sleep by now. Run it again!"

I count them off again, and it sounded great once we finished it.

"That's what I'm talking about!!! One more time y'all!!! Zeke and Noah, how bout y'all join us? It's not the same without y'all."

Zeke and Noah smile at me as they join in as soon as I count it off. When we finish that one, we go through the other one as well. I look at my watch and see that five minutes have passed.

"Five minutes have passed, and y'all niggas always wanna take a break. Look how much we got done."

I've made my point. Throughout that break we were supposed to have, we spent it getting shit right. I don't know about everyone else, but I like winning.
