Aquamarine (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 32

Beverly's pov

-

With the cheers came fists in the air and my eyes flung wide. I was electrified, awake, soaring to new heights of emotion.

"I'm sorry, what?" I asked

"Come over here Beverly" The girl said, I felt all eyes on me

I furrowed my brows but stood from my seat, deafening cheers and whistles erupted through the gym. The students clapped loudly as I approached the captain.

"Is this a mistake?" I whispered to Elena

"No, we all decided that you were really good" she giggled

"What the?"

"Beverly Hills, although you only tried out to be a cheerleader. The team and I decided that with your fast thinking of pulling off a routine and your quick pace that you should be given the chance to lead our team to victory for the rest of the year with Elena as your Co Captain" the girl said

"This is a joke right? Did Aqua put you up to this?" I glared at the girl

"I know it came as a shock but it's real. Elena and I spoke for hours and she explained everything, the moment I found out that you're  a direct descendant of Aelia Green. Well, it was the final nail in the coffin" she girl chuckled

"I- I don't know what to say" I said

"You don't have to say anything, well you have to say of you accept or not but besides that, nothing" the girl smiled

"I- Are you okay with this?" I asked Elena

"Are you kidding me? You were born to lead this team Bev, I'll be right beside you all the way" She smiled sweetly, I sighed and turned to face the captain

The eyes of everyone still rested on me. My heart pounded against my chest as I took deep breaths. Beverly Hills, captain of the cheer team. Ah it had a ring to it.

A smile pulled across my lips and my eyes locked with the girl. This was what I wanted, it's something I've always been captivated by and now I was responsible for the team.

"I accept"

The cheers erupted like an auditory volcano. The cheers are like a faulty firework, slow to start and rising to a weak explosion before petering out completely. Silent. Nervous.

"I now announce Beverly Hills, Captain of the Green Academy's Cheer team" the girl yelled out.

It was all quiet one second and then deafening the next, rising to a crescendo and then falling to a trickle before the same nervous tension commanded silence once more.

Happiness is in the moment, the more focused the more intense, like a beam of light to the soul. And just as with well focused light, it is then we find better resolution.

So shall it stay put, a smile eternally stained upon my lips. My joy, my love, my laughter, my cheer. All will reach the ears of those who have forgotten the warmth of such harmonies. I will share it all.

"Do I get a crown?" I chuckled

"No but you receive a uniform" the girl smiled
"As the new captain, it's your duty to announce the new members of the team"

Elena stood beside me as she handed me a notepad with a few names on it

"Mike Chang?" I asked, a cheer erupted from the bleachers as a boy stood up and clapped, I smiled at him as he made his way over to us
