The next morning before school Koby came in to eat with a smirk on her face. Joey had already left to bring Angie to school. She was dressed up nice her make up was done nice and everything. Craig's jaw dropped.
"Why are you dressed up?" Craig asked.
"Hey Craig what do you think about cheerleading?" Koby asked.
"Well I think they are sexy. Why?" He asked.
"Paige wants me to try out," she answered, "I think I will."
He got up and looked at her as if checking her out. He walked around her as if he was examining her. She turned with him.
"What?" she asked.
"I think you'd make it," he answered.
He grabbed his books behind her and they left. She met up with Paige in the restroom. She was already in there doing her make up for tryouts. She was the captain and she said she needed to look good. Koby went in to put on the tryout outfit Paige gave her. She came out of the stall and smiled. She fixed her hair again and finished her makeup.
"Yeah just don't laugh ok," Koby replied.
"Hun you will do fine," Paige said.
"I hope so because I really want to make it," Koby said.
"Cheerleading is really easy," Paige said. Paige gave her a smirk and grabbed her arm to follow her. She showed her to the large body mirror.
"Now do you see why we need you?" Paige asked.
"Not really but I am going to try ok," she replied.
They walked out of the restroom side by side to go to the gym. Spinner and Jimmy saw them in the hall and whistled at them. Hazel walked in her out fit and Jimmy went up to her and hugged her. He loved her in uniform. Hazel and Paige showed them a few cheers. When it came time for the try out Craig was there with his camera for the Grapevine. The judges looked tough and Koby was scared. Paige blew her whistle,
"Okay, Ready girls, 5...6...7...8..." "Move it down the floor Panthers score," all the girls repeated it three times while doing the hand motions.
Paige blew her whistle again, "Okay, Ready girls, 5...6...7...8..."
Craig stopped for a moment to notice Koby's beauty. She was not just a friend to him. Could it be he was falling in love with her? No, it could be. It would not be right.
"Pump pump lets get it get it shake shake just shake that thang that's the way yeah that's the way you go boys," they shouted and did the motions.
"Okay that's all we needed to see," one of the judges said, "Please be seated as we talley up your scores." Paige and Hazel went over to Koby to tell her how good she did. Craig went up to her and congratulated her on a job well done.
"Okay girls. We have the results only one of you made it," the lady said, "Drum role please."
Craig set off a drum role in the stands. He looked at Koby knowing it was her that had made it.
"Our newest cheerleader is," she paused, "Miss Koby Warner."
Hazel and Paige let out a scream and hugged her. She was still in shock to realize what was going on. Craig went up to her and hugged her. Every one congratulated her. She was so happy. The rest of the day she could not think of anything but what had happened. When she finally got home after practice she went straight to bed. She needed her rest because in less than a week was their first game.
