At 5:45 we lined up in the tunnel the footballers used and when the music started went to our places. We did two basic school cheers before the football team was announced and the crowd were amazingly loud as always. As the footballers were announced we made a tunnel which they ran through onto the field and as Jake ran past he defently mouthed 'i love you' which got my spirts even higher.
By half time our school was in the lead 27-5 after some really tough play. Pushing that aside though I focused as we were starting to do our routines. When we did our pyramid I could see my five-0 ohana going mad which pushed me to perform even more. After another routine it was time for the father daughter routine, so as all the dads made there way down to the field I shared a quick conversation with meg
"This is going be awful" were here first words to me since the game has started
"No come on it will be fun and entertaing" i replied trying to raise her moral.
"Yeah for everyone but us" she shot back before we both started to laugh.
In all fairness the dad routine was not the worst thing ever but equally not great. Everyone was facing the same way at all times which had been the biggest concern, even if they hadn't done the best moves ever, so for what it was worth we weren't a complete laughing stock, oh and the final pose where we were lifted onto our dads shoulders, that actually worked so that's all that really matters.
We cheered for the rest of the game and our school ended up winning 45-27. After the game ended all of us went and congratulated the football team. Once I was sure I was lost inside the huddle of footballers, cheerleaders and coaches, I went over to Jake and pulled him into a hug
"You played so well today" I told him, pulling away from the hug
"Thanks babe, you look smoking cheering in that uniform as well" he responded touching my arm at him I noticed that five-0 were making there way down onto the field so I turned back to him and said
"Iv'e got to go talk to my hoard, i'll see you at the party" I waited for him to nod before making my way towards them. Once I had reached the Kono pulled me into a hug
"You looked great out there Grace, Danny would be proud of you" she said smiling at me
"Thank you and its not exactly hard, he is literally proud of me breathing" I replied as everyone burst out laughing.
"We were all impressed Steve looked almost like everyone eles in his cheer as well" lou put in laughing, giggling i responded
"He did good, all the dads did" at this point megs and Katie came over
"You ready to go Grace" Meg asked as her dad was taking us
"Yeah course, i'll see you later kono, and the rest of you tomorrow evening" I responded before turning and walking away with the girls to a chourus of goodbye's.
