Marleigh's P.O.V.:

I raced up the stairs and changed into the first outfit I saw that could pass as clothes that were appropriate enough to wear to practice. I threw on the yellow sports bra and matching yellow spandex shorts and threw my hair in a quick ponytail before racing back down the stairs.

"Austin, let's go!!" I said, grabbing my cheer bag and my phone and running out the front door.

We ended up piling into his 2019 Silverado and raced off to the stadium.

"My coach is gonna fucking kill me..." He mumbled as we drove.

I felt bad, but at the same time I was really happy about last night. It felt good to be ourselves again... I just hope Austin feels the same way.

Before Austin even turned the truck off, I jumped out and started jogging towards the track where the girls were already starting their laps.

Austin quickly caught up to me, and by the time we made it onto the field together, both of our coaches had their eyes on us.

"Glad you could join us, Morris," My coach crossed her arms over her chest with a look of disapproval, "You'll be running double today."

"Yes, ma'am." I nodded, making the walk of shame over to where we keep our stuff so I could put my stuff down.

As I started running, I saw Austin getting yelled at by his coach and I felt like shit... And then I met Noah's eyes, and they were sadder than I've ever seen them before... And I felt even more like shit.

I tried to keep my focus on today's practice because I didn't want to screw things up again.

By the time I finished my laps, the girls were done stretching and our coach was digging in boxes behind her. I took a seat next to Vanessa and Shannon on the track to see what was going on, and then our coach pulled out what looked like brand new uniforms.
