Chapter Four: Tryouts
The first week passed by. Ava and Belle were closer than ever. Ava was like a little sister to Belle and Belle felt like an older sister to Ava.
Cheerleading tryouts were going on the week after Ava came to Salem High. "Hey Ava, I found out from your parents that you're a dancer/gymnast."
"Yep. I still do both. What about it?"
"Have you ever done cheerleading before?"
"No," Ava said nervously.
"Oh..."
"But, Belle, I'll try out if you want me to."
"Great! Meet me after school today, all right?"
"Okay", Ava said uneasily. The truth was, Ava had tried been a cheerleader before, but came crashing down when she was at the top of a pyramid. She had to stay in the hospital for two weeks and had been afraid of heights since then. Ava didn't want to confess her fear to Belle because she didn't trust Belle as much as she'd liked to.
AT THE END OF THE DAY
So, the end of the day approached. Ava had been anticipating the tryouts all day. The honest truth was that she didn't want to try out for the squad. Her fear was overwhelming. Just when she was starting to feel comfortable, too.
Belle and Ava met outside of the school gym. "Hi Ava!"
Ava came back from her thoughts and said, "Belle!"
After this joyous and detailed reunion (ha-ha), Belle and Ava went inside the gym where people were stretching. Belle and Ava started stretching and soon the tryouts started.
They learned a dance and a cheer. All of the memories of Ava's past cheerleading career came flooding back to her as she was dancing to "I'm a Slave 4 U". She felt as if everything was right with the world again. Like she never left. Like she never wanted to leave again. Ava put on a big smile and danced her little heart out. Belle felt the same. Cheerleading was their passion and it was another thing they shared. But would they BOTH make the team?
FINAL CUTS
It had been a grueling week of tryouts. Both Belle and Ava made it through first cuts and today was the day of the final decision. Ava had overcome her fear and both desperately wanted to be on the squad.
They went to the gym door to see if they had made the squad. Belle ran her finger down the list of names of people who had made the squad... "Jayne Anderson, Lynnette Arroyo, Sherry Atchison. (yeah, yeah, yeah...) Belle Black!! I made the squad again!" Belle screamed. One down one to go. Ava did the same and saw her name and the two jumped up and down for joy.
Belle put her arm around Ava and said, "Aren't you glad I talked you into it?"
"Yeah. I've got to admit that you were right."
Belle laughed. "I have to go to my locker. Will you wait for me?" Ava said.
"Sure."
Ava went inside the building and Sherry and Jayne went up to Belle. "You know that little kid Ava that made Varsity Squad right?" Sherry said.
"Yep. Why?"
"She is so cute! She's got a lot of talent," Jayne said.
"Uh, yeah. I guess!"
"We gotta go. See you at practice tomorrow, Belle!"
"Okay. See you later," Belle said, puzzled. She was used to getting the compliments. But since it only happened once, she let it go. But it doesn't mean that Belle wasn't jealous.
"Yo, Belle."
"Ava, hi!"
"Where have you been? I've been trying to call you back to earth," Ava chuckled.
"Sorry. Come on, let's go."
THE NEXT DAY
Today was the first day of cheerleading practice. The first football game was in two weeks, and their first competition was in a month. Belle had been named the captain and had been working hard on the first part of the cheer/dance.
"Okay, come on guys. 5-6-7-8!"
The squad started the first dance and all went well. Belle had them practice for half an hour before the first break. When it was over, everyone was still hyped up. Ava was showing off, being the cute little ham.
"Go, girl!!!" everyone chanted.
"Dude. She's really good!"
"I know. I guess we have another queen of the squad!"
Belle was furious. SHE was supposed to be the queen of the squad. SHE was captain. SHE was supposed to be the best. Who did she think she was, showing her up like that? She also had no clue who was showing off. Belle turned around and saw Ava. She gasped and her eyes went big. "Ava?!"
"I know. She's awesome!"
Belle tried to calm down. After all, this was AVA. She was supposed to be guiding her, helping her to fit in. She didn't want this to go on anymore, so she stopped the break.
"Okay. Break's over. Let's start from the top again!"
