The Life of a Cheerleader

Chapter 1: Gossiping

It's 5:00 o'clock pm and I'm sitting on the floor, catching my breath, from just having 2 hours of practice. I have a 30 minute break before my next tumbling class starts.

I decided to start my homework. For a Junior, I surprisingly don't have that much, or I just get most of it done in class. I have A's and B's in all of my classes. At least I'm passing.

I finish the last math problem, then my dad calls me over to the tumbling class.

Amber and I lead stretching (did I say she was in this class too) and then we start to tumble.

Since this is a level 5 class we all have back tuck and some have fulls.

I work on my full, I almost have it I just need a light spot. I don't mean to brag, but my dad helps me out at home a lot on out trampoline or the yard.

After the class ended, I head to the water fountain then the bathroom.

I get water and head to the bathroom.

After I start to flush the toilet, I stop to listen to someone who is coming in gossiping, no two girls gossiping.

(GIRL 1: 1 GIRL 2: 2)

1: "Did you see her back layout, her legs weren't even straight and the coach still didn't correct her."

2: "I know right, like it was so bad."

They stop, I thought they had known that I was in there. So I pick up my feet onto the toilet seat.

They continue.

1: "I'm pretty sure her dad owns the gym."

2: "Wow. That's not fair. That means she gets to be here like every day and free classes and stuff."

1: "I didn't even think about that."

Just then somebody walked in, so the two girls left.

Were they talking about me? I mean my back layout is good right?

I start to whimper, just as I here a voice start to sing. I have heard that voice before! Then I realized it was Amber singing! She had an amazing voice.

"Amber is that you?" I said in whimpers.

"Sam. Why are you crying?" She says.

I unlock my stall door to reveal her beautiful face. She is really pretty. With her bow and her beautiful blue eyes. If I was a boy, I'd be asking her out. But, I'm not like lesbian so...

Anyways...

She pulls me into a warming hug and takes me upstairs to my dads office, hiding my face so people don't question.

She sits me down and says,

"So, why were you crying?" She asks.

I explain to her what the two girls had said.

She tries to cheer me up. "That's so mean! You're layout is perfect, it's better than mine. Don't listen to them, they're just jealous."

"Thanks Ambs, I love you so much! Please don't tell anybody about this." I ask.

"Ok! I won't, but if it happens again come find me." She says.

"Thank you." I reply.

As we walk down the stairs, she pulls me into a hug.

"I just want you to know that I will stay your friend forever, no matter what!" She says.

"Aww! I love you Amber!"

Once we get downstairs people start to cheer and clap for a girl on a mini team who got just their back walk over. Oh how I remember those days.

I sit and watch my gym mates as I think about how much of a privileged life I have.
