Hi guys CPK here I'm just going to try and finish this story out. Trying to decide if I should make it rated M (I believe that's why it got take down last time because it was quite vulgar but I had rated it T) or should I keep it rated T and take out some of the vulgarity? If you guys enjoy this story give me your input in the reviews and before the 5th chap I will leave a note letting you guys know what my decision was! I know I haven't written in a while, but nobody wants excuses and I don't have any so I'll just jump right back into it and try to finish it this time, I'd really hate for it to get removed again especially after all the reviews I had _ ugh. Anyway on to the story.
Massie
"Welcome to hell week ladies." I announced as my stare swept over the nervous group of girls. At least forty girls have turned out for the try outs, and my girls and I are ready for them all, but I'm sure they aren't ready for us.
The girls break into applause.
"Don't get too excited!" I shout, cutting their enthusiasm short. "This will be the best and worse experience of your lives. So if you don't have the ovaries for this you can leave now." I pause, waiting for the girls to take their opportunity to escape. A few girls shift nervously on the bleachers, while others eye the door with uncertainty, but nobody leaves.
Trying to alleviate the situation, Coach Daisy adds, "Don't worry ladies, you'll all get your chance."
I smirk. "Well then, let's get started then."
We do a few warm ups and stretches before getting on to the next stage of try outs.
"Alright ladies, we're going to start slow and learn the chant together as a group. Now I want you to look, listen, and mimic because the chant is really simple. Alicia and I will be watching along with coach Daisy, so do your best."
Alicia and I ascend to the fourth bleacher where Ms. Daisy is seated so we can watch the progress.
"I think the auditions are going to go very well girls!" Ms. Daisy whispers loudly to Alicia and I. "I'm super excited."
Alicia and I glance at each other, and attempt to not crack up at her over enthusiasm, after all we need her, and so long as she just does what she's told things will go well for her. If.
Faking a cough to keep from laughing, Alicia finally replies: "Us too Coach D." And we turn our attention back to the girls
All together the girls do the chant rather well, from what I can see there are no major hiccups with the exception of a few girls struggling to keep the rhythm in a few places.
Alicia leans into me and whispers; "Let's keep our eyes on those girls." She states, her big, brown eyes honing in on the handful of off beat girls. I nod.
"Alright ladies that's enough, thank you." I state standing up. As my eyes sweep over the girls, I notice a few already look worn out, that's not a good sign. We need girls with high energy. If they lose their breath during a simple chant how will they be able to keep up with the complicated dances our team has been known for.
My gaze harden as I stare down a few girls who shrink under my hard stare. They should be nervous.
"Hm...interesting." I roll my neck and motion for my girls to join me. "Take five ladies." I say turning on my heel to head up to the top of the bleachers. Then I hesitate. "Make that three."
Coach Daisy
I check my watch to make sure that it's been exactly three minutes on the dot not wanting to miss a beat of the try outs. So far so good. Massie and Alicia seem to be very competent captains, and I think I made the right choice in letting them spear head the try out process. I smile unable believe my luck. With a new job and apartment in an amazing city, my new life is off to a great start.
I open the gym doors more than ready to proceed with the try outs.
"Alright ladies! Ready to- Oh my god!" I gasp.
Standing on the bleachers are the group of girls struggling to keep their balance as they cheer. The squad watches them from the gym floor while Kristen keeps the beat.
"Oh no!" I shout, rushing in to stop the madness. "No, no, no. Down, now. Come on." I say, carefully ushering the girls off the bleachers.
"Coach D, what are you doing?" A few girls in the squad protest, but I turn my focus instead on Massie and Alicia.
"Girls, what is the meaning of this?" I ask, planting my hands on my hips, and staring at Massie and Alicia for some sort of explanation.
Neither girl bats a lash as Massie coolly responds; "Coach D chill, we just had to weed out the weak links and this was the fastest way."
I eye the tired group of girls. They look worn out and on edge probably afraid of what challenge Massie and the girls have in store for them next. As I look them over I notice that the number of girls is significantly smaller than when we started. Our forty is now thirty five at least!
"Where are the other girls?" I ask horrified.
Dylan snorts. "Humph. Gone."
"They just couldn't hang." Alicia shrugs.
Massie leans back, propping herself up on her elbows. She meets my eyes and holds my gaze. "We don't do weak, Coach D."
My jaw clenches as I fight the instinct to lose my temper. Instead I turn to face the group of exhausted girls and say. "OK ladies, I believe that's been enough for today. We'll pick up where we left off tomorrow, good job."
Breathing a collective sigh of relief the girls quickly gather their bags and file out of the gym. I turn my attention back to the captains.
"Massie, Alicia, outside, now." I demand.
Alicia and Massie roll their eyes and glance at each other as the rest of the squad whispers amongst themselves.
"Now," I restate. Slowly but surely Massie and Alicia rise to their feet and we exit the double doors to the shaded area outside the gym.
Once we're outside I begin to set them straight. Having a moment to calm down, I try and approach them gently, after all they were just trying to do what they thought would help the team. God knows I've been where they're at in my younger days on a squad.
"Girls, you're great captains I can see that. You take charge and command attention, and I respect that." I search their faces. Both girls have their arms crossed, but Massie looks more attentive where as Alicia's eyes are focused on her perfect, short manicure. I decide to speed up the lecture.
"What you girls did was very dangerous, and although I'm sure your hearts were in the right place, I really can't afford to have an injury on my hands and I've only been on the job less than seventy five hours, you understand?" I chuckle, drawing amused smiles from both of them.
"With that said, I think you girls did an awesome job today. Let's just try and tone it down a little bit next time...deal?"
"Deal." Both girls repeat.
"We understand coach D, it won't happen again." Massie says giving me a reassuring smile.
I return the gesture. "Great. I'll see you tomorrow ladies, and great job today."
Massie
"Are we going to just let her call the shots like that?" Dylan asks as we head home for the day. Alicia and I just finished recapping our little "discussion" with coach Daisy.
"Yeah, I thought P. Burns told her how we operate around here." Kristen adds.
Letting her think brownish black hair out of it's high ponytail Alicia snaps, "Guys chill!"
"Seriously," I respond while snapping on my dentyne ice. "We need her guys. Remember if it weren't for her we wouldn't even be competing this year. Let's get through this season, and in time she'll learn whose in charge of this town."
