The next day at school, the news about Lizzie and Gordo's engagement spread
like wildfire. By noon, almost ¾ of the school had already congratulated
the happy couple. The other ¼ consisted of Claire and her cheerleading
team. She walked around with her nose pointing towards the crystal blue
sky.
'SPLAT'
Birds' droppings splattered on Claire and almost all of the cheerleaders. The lucky girls, who were not affected by the smelly white droppings, laughed their butts off. Claire pointed a threatening finger at them and shook it angrily. The girls immediately shushed.
"You. All. Are. Out. Of. The. Cheerleading. Team." Claire rasped, her voice as cold as metal. Some girls complained. A hassle of voices then broke out at Claire. They all wiped the droppings out of their hair and threw it angrily at her.
"You are so mean!" "I don't even know why I joined the squad." "I'm quitting! I can't put up with you anymore." "Yeah! Bossing us around like no one's business." "Lizzie is so right! You are mean and selfish, Claire!" "Come on guys, let's go congratulate Lizzie and David." "David was so right in not choosing you."
The last two sentences heard seemed to round up all of the ex- cheerleaders' voices.
"Yeah!" all of them retorted before going over to Lizzie and her gang, who were still laughing like everyone still was. They immediately quietened, but were surprised when the cheerleaders' started joining in their merry laughter.
"We walked out on Claire. She was really taking over our lives..." Amber, a former cheerleader, explained after spotting Lizzie and Gordo giving them weird looks. "And David and Lizzie! You two look so cute together! Congratulations!" Amber gushed excitedly.
"Thanks!" was all Lizzie could say. Gordo nodded.
An awkward silence followed, then Miranda saved the day.
"You guys all wanna hang out after school at Digital Bean?" Miranda asked.
"Sure! That'll be cool!" Amber answered on behalf of all the ex- cheerleaders.
"Bu...but, Amber, we have cheerleading practice today!" Kelly, another girl spluttered.
"Kel, Kel, Kel. We have already walked out on Claire, remember?" Amber assured the unsure girl. She put her arm around Kelly and hugged her. "Oh Gosh! I smell like shit!"
"That's because you are covered in shit! We all are." Crystal (ok I'm tired of typing ex-cheerleader. So if you see any name unfamiliar to you, you know that she is an ex- cheerleader.) teased.
The new friends cracked up and headed to the shower room.
