Chapter 4: Old Bucky Starts to Resurface

It was the day of the district game. It was during 4th period when Natasha called down all the cheerleaders. Kingston gathered up her stuff and left with Kaycee.

They put their books up in their lockers. They did a quick run thru then Maria called down all the classes. Bucky stopped the boys "Remember what I have talked to you all about today." He said as he let them go in.

Natasha walked out with Bucky by her side. Sam Clint and Wanda behind them. Coach Fury said "Good afternoon students staff faculty and parents who have made it out. Im the athletic director Coach Nick Fury. And Im proud to say that these coaches have made me the most proud. They are fellow alumnis and former athletes of mine. This is their second year here and I have to say that they have navigated their teams well just like they did as captains all those years ago. So Im going to shut up now and let them take over."

Natasha took the mic "Lets start with taking a look back on our season so far. Here is a look back on our girls. Our JV team is lead by Kingston Cooper and our Varsity is lead by Willow Baker."

The white screen lowered and music started to play as clips of them at practice competitions and games. They played like a slideshow to the song "Black Widow".

Once that was over. Natasha said "Now on to the boys.." then they clips played against "You Shook Me All Night".

Once their slideshow was over. Bucky took over the mic. "Thanks for that Romanoff. We have had a great season boys despite the one loss. Lets take district tonight boys and girls! Lets get to state!!"

"Whoo!!!"

"Yay!!!"

*Applause and whistles*

"Alright..now on to some routines from our lovely ladies." Bucky said then they cleared the floor.

"Toxic" 2WEI started as the dance team took the floor. Kingston was front and center with her dance crop top and dance shorts. She gave her flirty looks and worked her hips. She avoided looking at Bucky.

Bucky swallowed hard and gripped the rail. Luckily nobody was noticing his demeanor. He let out a breathe as they started to do a dance to Umbrella.

Sam came over to him "you alright man?" He said

"Yeah great." Bucky said

"Buck..I know this look. We arent the players anymore. You cant be like this right now." Sam whispered.

Bucky went into his office splashed some cold water. Breathing hard shaking his head at himself in the mirror of his bathroom.

"Snap out of it Bucky.." he whispered.

He walked back out to where he was standing. "You good?" Sam said as he hands him a gatorade.

"I think so." He said

The cheerleaders took the floor and started their routine to "Survivor" by 2WEI.

They did stunts and gymnastics. Kingston showed off her skills at everything.

Natasha had a big smile when Kingston landed her big stunt of a double round off mid air. "Damn..Romanoff." Sam said

"I know she may be tiny but she is the best flyer." Natasha said as the girls went into a routine to "Uptown Funk"

Bucky closed his eyes and then went back to his office. He leaned against his door and was breathing hard. Once the pep rally was over everyone went back to their classes.

She walked in and sat down. She finished her assignment and did the reading written on the board.
