Chapter 9: Mission Kim Possible

Emmett's POV

After school I went out to the football field and asked the coach if I could try out for the team today. He laughed and said no way. I was too late; we were already a third of the way through the season.

But I could be a water boy, he said. I said, sure. Why not, right?

I was so wrong. It sucked.

I had to bring water and snacks out to the football players during practice. And I was treated like poop. Yucky poop!

But I was going to get through it; at least I could say I was on the "team." Sorta…

The next day was a little better. There was no practice, since there were cheer tryouts and most of the guys were helping to judge, or were just going to stare at the girls in their workout clothes.

I went to cheer on Alice. None of those girls had anything against Rosalie, in beauty, I mean.

After about seven girls, Alice was called to do her routine. She had made an entire routine in one night, I have no idea how she did it, by the way. I can't even do my math homework in that amount of time!

She came to the middle of the gym and was met by catcalls from the football players. Not me, of course. I was sitting with the rest of my family.

Alice just stood there and let them yell, then, once they stopped, she motioned for the music to begin.

A thumping, dance music filled the gym. It was just some cheer song, not something popular. Upbeat and fun.

Then, she began. And, whoa! Did she nail it! Her routine was amazing. Imagine the routine Kim Possible did to get on her cheer squad. I saw that last week when I was channel surfing. It was amazing.

And Alice did exactly that. She hit it so hard it cracked! If she didn't make the team, I was going to scream and rip those girls apart!

She ended, on the beat, and took a bow. Me, my family, and the entire gym gave her a standing ovation.

Then, it was time for the judges to deliberate.

"Well, that was… interesting," one of the girls, Megan, said. She was obviously dumbstruck by Alice's performance; she couldn't even frame coherent sentences!

The other girls gave their review, most of them short and stupid sounding, not a surprise. Then it was Noelle's turn to judge.

All eyes went to her. But she didn't speak. She just sat there, staring at Alice. Her eyes were wide open and silly looking.

For a whole minute, nobody spoke. Then, Noelle finally cleared her throat and said, "I'm sorry. But no. We can't let you join."

Then entire gym broke out into boos.

"Hey!"

"No freaking way!"

Then, a chant of "Let her join! Let her join!" filled the gym. I started it.

Noelle was outnumbered. "Fine," she snapped. "We'll take it to a vote. All in favor of Alice raise your hands." The entire gym, minus Noelle and Megan, raised their hands.

"Ok, case closed. It wasn't unanimous. She's out," Megan said, hands on her hips, smiling smugly.

The boos began again.

"Ok, tryouts are over. Thanks for coming everyone! The results will be posted tomorrow outside of the gym," Noelle shouted.

The boos continued.

"Shut the hell up! Results are up tomorrow! So fuck off!"

The next day…

Alice tumbled into school, very, very excited. She hadn't stopped bouncing off the ceiling yesterday, she was so nervous and excited.

The gym doors were covered with girls trying to see if they made it. Alice joined them, ready to find out her fate…

As for me, I just went to class. I had water boy duty today, and today they wanted pies after practice. It was some sort of ritual…

Whoo! Ok, pie chapter is the next chapter. I'll probably post it Tuesday, since tomorrow I won't be home. So, I hope you liked this one!

Review and take the poll if you haven't already!

P.S. Megan, I put you in! Sorry I made you kinda bitchy though…
