Profile OfAnother Cheerleader

This is a oneshot. I love the captainkodiak "I Am..." series. He features the main characters. I dream of the background people. Here's one. (I have more!) Tho I was an employee of the Mouse for 10 years, I don't own any of the Kim Possible universe, The Walt Disney Company does. I profit not, only in the joy I give with my ramblings.

Hi, my name is Karin Nelson. I'm one of the cheerleaders for the Middleton High School Mad Dogs. Kim Possible is the Head Cheerleader; I'm the other redhead on the squad. While Kim's hair is long and straight, mine is shorter and slightly wavy. I also always wear a purple headband.

I know I'm not as popular as Kim or Bonnie, or Tara for that matter. I'm just your typical average, (well, I'm above average in a lot of areas) teenager. I'm a straight A, honor roll student for one thing. A whole lot more intelligent than the other girls of the squad. Bonnie knows she'll marry some rich jock someday. Kim is always off saving the world with her friend Ron and his adorable pet Rufus. Who knew a naked mole rat would make a great pet? I guess that just goes to show how insightful and bizarre Ron can be. Me? I know I'll be a famous Scientist/Inventor. If it wasn't for Justine Flanner, I would've won the past four Science Fairs.

My main problem is I'm shy. You might not think that since I'm on the cheer squad, but it's true. My Mother, who's a Clinical Psychologist, says I'm a textbook example of an Introverted/Extrovert. That means while I'm more interested in my own thoughts and feelings than the external trappings and events of my surroundings, I have some part of me that needs to break through the cocoon and show off in a controlled structure such as the squad. Even within the structure of the Cheer Squad, I still submit and shy to the authority of the "Alpha" members. (You know who you are, K and B.)

I have so many ideas on how to make the squad better: Better routines, outfits and such. But I don't have the nerve or courage or... you tell me what, to speak up and put my ideas on the line. I just prefer to be the support on the bottom of the pyramid and focus my creative juices into a better mouse trap or alternative fuel source. (I've done both and came in second to Justine. Damn that blond freak!)

I haven't been straight with you about everything, though. I (opening the closet door quickly,) am a lesbian. AND I have the hots for Kim Possible. She is just so marvelous! The fiery red hair and those deep, gorgeous emerald eyes. I could just faint. I try, whenever I can, to position myself so I get to support Kimmie when we do the pyramid. Just being able to GRAB AND HOLD her smooth, firm, muscular alabaster thigh... Oh, sorry for unspooling the drool.

I know Kim doesn't swing that way, but maybe if, when she reads this, it might give her some ideas. This took a lot of guts to write, I know, but I do need to be more assertive. Now, about my new cheer.

A/N: This is my first attempt to publish. Small steps. R&R Flames, while not necessary, are invited. Without criticism, I can not grow.
