Khione: Hi everyone, I know I haven't updated in a very long time but I have been focusing on other things. Right now I'm on break so I decided to write a bit. Thank you all for your comments and I hope you enjoy this chapter. I do not own anything but the plot.
(Normal P.O.V)
"Annabeth, Annabeth, ANNABETH!" hissed Silena as she poked her
"Huh, where are we?" said Annabeth groggily lifting her head from her desk
Bianca tried holding her giggles in but failed "We are in last period Annabeth."
Annabeth turned towards Bianca to ask her what she had missed but got interrupted by her teacher.
"Miss Chase could you keep quiet, I liked you better when you were asleep." the professor said
Annabeth glared at her teacher's back and her head dropped once again on the wooden desk.
"Just remember to be wide awake at cheer tryouts." sang SIlena
"WHAT!" yelled Annabeth as her head snapped up
"Miss Chase!" bellowed the teacher
Annabeth rolled her eyes and fell asleep with her hair covering the light of day. When the bell rang to dismiss the students, Thalia and Juniper stood waiting at the door for Silena, Bianca, and Annabeth.
"Are you feeling well Annabeth?" questioned Juniper worried
"Yeah, you fell asleep today in class, and you never do that." pointed out Bianca
"I'm fine, it is just really hard sleeping in the same room as Percy, with him bothering me all night."
All the girls laughed at this except for Thalia, she had a frown on her face.
"So what were you talking about in class today Silena, about the cheerleading squad." asked Annabeth
"Silena has wanted to make the cheer squad since we started school, she makes it but she wants us to do it with her and we never make it." explained Thalia
"Why do you not make it?" asked Annabeth
"You'll see, come on we will be late!" said Silena dragging them all by the hand towards the gym
When the gym doors opened all heads turned to the five girls making their way in. There were mats laid out all around the gym except for the space near the basketball hoops. A girl with red hair made her way towards Silena and her friends with a disgusted look.
"Trying out again Thalia and friends, what a shame getting your hopes up for nothing." laughed the red haired girl
She had pretty green eyes and her hair was a fiery red. She really was a beautiful girl but her personality got in between everyone liking her. The girl smirked and her eyes found Annabeth, she glared at her for a second and then turned her gaze toward Silena.
"I see you found another animal off the street, remember you can still except our offer." the girl smirked and strutted away
"Who was that?" whispered Annabeth
"Rachel Elizabeth Dare, the captain of the squad." said Juniper following after Silena and the others
"We have to change to participate, into something comfortable." clarified Juniper handing Annabeth some gym clothes in her size
Annabeth changed into some very short shorts and a sports bra which were blue and white, the school colors. When her and her friends were done they exited the locker rooms to find about three hundred kids sitting in the bleachers, waiting to be instructed by Rachel. Rachel motioned for them to have a seat with an annoyed look.
"Whoever can't do this get out of the room." yelled Rachel as two guys did some flips on the mats
About a quarter of all the girls and boys left the gym with sad groans.
"Or this, hey Luke!" Rachel practically screamed to the part of the gym occupied by the boys holding basketball tryouts.
A beach blonde boy turned his head towards Rachel and nodded. He was a bit muscular and when he smiled he made girls scream in delight. He ran a bit from his position and flipped multiple times in the air and did a perfect landing.
"C'mon Rachel couldn't that wait until the end of tryouts." a boy said behind Luke
When Luke sidestepped Annabeth saw the boy who right now she felt like punching, who right now made her feel like screaming, who right now she wanted to kill, who right now made her heart skip a beat. There stood a sweaty, panting, well-built Percy Jackson. Annabeth's eyes almost popped out of her head and Rachel saw this. Rachel muttered something foul under her breath and pranced over to Percy. Rachel Dare did the most unexpected action, something Annabeth would not have ever thought she was about to do. Rachel grabbed Percy's head in both of her hands, lowered it, and planted a rather forced but passionate kiss on his lips. Then Percy did the most unexpected thing of all, he slid his arms around her waist and one of his hands went to her butt as her kissed her back. This didn't surprise anyone but Annabeth.
"What is Percy doing here?" asked Annabeth
"He is the Basketball captain." answered Bianca
Walking back to her original spot Rachel looked at all the remaining girls and boys sitting in the bleachers.
"Alright then, everyone get lined up and show us what you got." ordered Rachel
Everyone lined up at the edge of the mat. They all did flips, Silena, Thalia, Juniper, and Bianca were surprisingly very flexible. Then came Annabeth's turn, she breathed in and then started. She performed a front-handspring, back walk-over, a layout, and finished with an aerial. When Annabeth looked up and blew her blond hair out of her face she heard cheers coming from her bleachers and the boy's part of the gym. She raised her arms with a grin on her face she jutted out her hip to the right and walked off the mat.
"I didn't know you could move like that!" yelled Silena over the noise of the other girls
"I took dance when I was small." said Annabeth
Bianca high-fived her and the other hugged her.
"We are so getting in this year." murmured Silena
"How do you know?" asked Thalia
"Rachel only cares about looks, to actually join the squad you have to be gorgeous." said Silena
"Why is she so mean?" asked Annabeth
"She used to be our friend but then when she made the cheerleading squad she began hanging out with them and everything changed when she learned that Percy was Thali-" Thalia covered Juniper's mouth to stop her from saying what came next.
Annabeth opened her mouth to ask why Thalia did that but then Rachel shushed everyone so she could speak.
"Now you will be separated into groups and we will see if you really belong here." said Rachel
Girls and Boys were instructed to get up from the bleachers and then copy the moves three cheerleaders were doing as Rachel and others walked in between them telling them to get out of the gym if they were too bad. The three cheerleaders did the routine once or twice and then Annabeth and the others tried to copy it and learn the moves, tricks, and motions. Without the rest of the girls noticing the coach of the cheerleading team went to sit next to Rachel and see all the action.
"Blond girl in the middle, relax more, have fun!" shouted the coach towards Annabeth
This routine made Annabeth sick it had absolutely no flow to it so she desided to make up her own.
"We have to stop her!" said a girl to the coach
"No, I want to see this." the coach said
"This is not what we do." demanded Rachel
"No, no it is not." the coach chuckled
'Did she just do a layout step out," the other girl gasped "It took me six weeks to get that." the girl murmured
"Shut up, Clarisse!" commanded Rachel glaring at Annabeth
After all the girls went, only about twenty boys and girls were still remaining. Rachel stood up from where she was sitting and stood in front of all the remaining students.
"I'm only going to do this once so focus and copy me." yelled Rachel turning her back on them
Rachel began doing some fancy footwork very fast not even slowing a little bit so everyone could get used to the routine but Annabeth was a very fast learner. Annabeth copied the exact same thing Rachel did at the same speed and boy did it make Rachel mad. Annabeth smirked and continued copying Rachel.
When everyone could sit back down so the cheerleaders and their coach could discuss their new recruits Percy made his way over to Annabeth and her friends. Rachel was too distracted to notice him and didn't protest when he went to talk to the girls.
"Hey, I didn't know you could move your body like that." Percy smirked talking more to Annabeth than anyone else
Annabeth frowned and then noticed he was checking her out in her gym outfit. Annabeth's eyes widened and she gasped as he sat down next to her. Then Percy slid his arm around Annabeth's waist and snuggled close up to her .
"Ugh you smell like sweat!" protested Annabeth pushing him away
Percy chuckled and turned his attention toward the other girls.
"You think yall will get in this year?" asked Percy
"Well I think that we all did a good job and that especially Annabeth deserves to get in be..." Silena kept talking to Percy but his attention was elsewear
He could feel the deadly glare Thalia was giving him and he didn't like it. His eyes darted away from Silena to Thalia with a smirk on his face. It was like they could reach others minds and Percy knew exactly what Thalia was thinking.
'You better not get anymore close to her or I will rip you to pieces'
Percy chuckled and now he was looking at Annabeth. He stared at her eyes then at her lips then went to her chest, since she was wearing a sports bra, when Annabeth stood up he looked at her butt with raised eyebrows and licked his lips. He shook out of his trance and shook his head in disgust, what was he thinking she was not his type.
"Percy, Percy, PERCY!" Bianca snapped her fingers in front of Percy's face
"Well I got to go, hope you make it!" he said running off to the boys side of the gym
"Okay, tomorrow we will post the people who made the team and those who didn't make it don't mope around all day crying your loser asses off." said the girl who Annabeth believed was called Clarrise she was somewhat built for a girl and seemed to be one of Rachel's friends or followers whatever you choose to call those people
"That means you can get the hell out of the gym." yelled Rachel as boys and girls started making their way into the locker room to change back into their normal clothing.
When Thalia passed by Rachel she shot her the most deadliest glare that could make any other girl kill herself. Rachel then put her nose in the air and bumped into Thalia purposely but she sidestepped and almost made Rachel fall head first on the floor, but she regained her footing. Rachel walked away as if nothing happened at all leaving four girls snickering and one with a smile on her face but that smile soon faded as she looked at Annabeth then Rachel then towards Percy and at her growling stomach. Thalia sighed, she was starving and thank goodness it was because of past events.
"C'mon today is the camp fire!" said Bianca running to her locker
"What does she mean?" asked Annabeth
"You still have a lot to learn about this school, you see here we take sport season very seriously so we have a fire to start it off, and Silena takes this camp fire VERY seriously so be prepared." giggled Thalia
Annabeth raised her eyebrow in confusion. Thalia never really clarified things, she was always so mysterious. Annabeth just shook it off and changed getting ready for what waited for her.
Khione123- THERE DONE! I worked my butt off for three days to write this. First I erased it and had to do it all over again and then I couldn't remember what I already had written. But I finished it. So I am probably going to create another website just like what I did for my other stories so you can see the cheerleading tryouts, the dorms, the uniform and the outfits. This really is the longest chapter I have ever written. No, I do not do cheerleading so don't blame me if I got things wrong. Do any of you think you know what is the problem with Thalia and Percy? If you think you do then put it in your reviews. Also if you would like to suggest out of the five girls(Annabeth,Silena,Thalia,Juniper, and Bianca) who you would like to make the cheer team then please do because I don't know if Juniper and Bianca should do it or not. Thank you for all your reviews and please R&R it would make me very happy :)
