It's after school and everything was moving fast. Nikita was going to the gym where tryouts were holding out. As usual, every year, she's strict. She's suppose to be because she's the captain of the team and often times kids that tryout think being a cheerleader is easy but it's not.
In front of her she had a list of twenty five students who signed up for tryouts and it was only three o'clock. Boy this is going to be a long afternoon.
She sat behind a desk next to her coach and called their first contestant.
"Cassandra Ovedchkin…?"
The blonde girl walked in the gym in a pair of short yoga pants and a purple tank top that showed her belly button ring. Her hair was in a ponytail, she already portrayed herself as a cheerleader.
Nikita had not been looking. She had been sipping on her cup of coffee while looking at the sheet in front of her so she totally did not see the girl's face until the music started playing.
She didn't even hear the girl's introduction.
When she finally lifted her head from the paper, her heart rate sped up a thousand miles per second.
That girl they saw at the restaurant…
When did she go to that school?
Nikita chocked on her coffee and her coach nudged her…
"Are you ok, sweetheart?" Mrs. Larabee asked.
Nikita nodded and coughed.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine."
She watched Cassandra's routine and it was fascinating. The best she's ever seen in two years. She was almost as good as she was.
The music finally stopped and Nikita didn't look happy but her coach was giving a standing ovation.
"That was fantastic…"
"It was cute," Nikita said severely, "Cute but not good enough to make this team. Next!"
"What? Are you crazy?" Mrs. Larabee asked. "She's got all the moves; she can do the double jumps, the flips. Why is she not good enough?"
Cassandra awkwardly stood in the middle of the gym.
"Ok?" She said, "Excuse me?"
"What do you mean she's not good enough?"
"You chose me to be the captain of this team for a reason so I know what's best for my team." Nikita whispered.
"Excuse me?" Cassandra said again.
"Ok NEXT!" Nikita yelled.
Well that first one didn't go well…
The other girl that came in seemed pretty nice. She's short, sweet and very skinny. Nikita was hoping she was good enough because she'd rather have ten times this girl than Cassandra.
She didn't even know the girl, she just didn't like her.
She's trying to get with her best friend, now goes to her school and is half as good as she is in cheerleading. This is a nightmare.
"Keisha Sanders, let's see what you can do." Nikita told the girl standing before her.
"Can I just say that your makeup look flawless. You're flawless, everything you do is flawless." The girl said.
Nikita smiled. "That's sweet. Thank you."
The next few hours, the tryouts either amazed her or bored her to death. And in the end, she needed thirteen great cheerleaders. Thirteen kids who deserve to wear a cheerleading outfit around the school and own it.
Tryouts were finally over and Nikita and her coach were currently selecting thirteen kids out of the twenty five who auditioned.
"So we're definitely going with Deija… Keisha, Jonathan, Vicki, and Catherine…" Nikita said, "Those are my top five."
"I think Dylan was pretty great," Mrs. Larabee said, "Jennifer, Sidney, Geneses, TJ, and Jessica was also very good." She added.
"I agree." Nikita said.
"My last three will definitely be Natalia, Michelle, and Cassandra, she was good Nikita."
Nikita shook her head. "Yes, Cassandra good but not great. I don't want her in." Nikita argued.
There is no way in hell this newbie is going to come to her school and take over her team. No way in hell. Not if she can fight it.
"But she's talented Nikita. She's got what it takes to be a Garden Grove warrior." Mrs. Larabee said.
"Ok, do you want me or that new girl better?" Nikita asked, "Because if you think she can do my job better, I'll gladly step down and let you have the most embarrassing year of cheerleading in your whole entire career." She added, "You and I both know how much goes into cheerleading and in this school you either have to be as good as me or better."
Nikita knew deep down she was good. Heck she was her and that's what scares her.
"Ok fine!" Mrs. Larabee groaned, "We can drop her but if this comes back to bite me in the ass, you and I are going to have problems!"
Nikita smirked mischievously. ""Great choice. I'm sure you won't regret it."

Well the rivalry starts here and things will definitely go downhill from there. Nikita doesn't like Cassandra period and I don't think Cassandra will like Nikita either and you're going to see why because it' not because she did or didn't make the cheerleading team. I know there wasn't much f the other characters included but they'll be back soon so stay tune for more. I hope you guys liked this little bit a little if not a lot. Please leave me a review and let me know your thoughts on this short chapter. Until next time, Xoxo!
