Sorry this update took so long. I've been wrapping up some of my other stories so that I can update this more often. But this story is coming to a close too. Not this chapter, but soon.

If you have any ideas for my next story, PM me please! I need a new idea…

Chapter 14: Pyramid

Alice's POV

I was out there, with the coach, watching the team practice. Noelle was bossing everyone around and being a bitch. I really hoped she was on the top of the tower, and then I could break her leg! Yay!

I'm evil…

So, they were done the cheer for competition and were getting into formation for the pyramid. It was a four row one with four/three/two/one as the order. Noelle was on top.

Yay karma!

She got up there and was doing her arm waving cheer thing when I decided to put my plan into action.

"Take these, please," I said to the girl next to me. She was a manager too. I handed her the water bottles and Vitamin Waters I'd been holding.

"Uh, okay," she said. I felt bad for, like, a second, but then forgot about it. I guess the bitchy-cheerleader thing is rubbing off on me! Whoo!

So, that was when it began…

I jumped right into super speed, ran over to where they were, and pushed, just a little, on the third row. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough to put the entire thing off balance.

Before I could go back to my seat though, I ran to our school vending machine, bought a package of cracker jack, and ran back to the gym.

I plunked my butt in my chair and pretended to eat popcorn while watching the show.

First, it teetered a bit. Then it steadied and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then, before everyone had gained their balance, Noelle started doing some complex cheer. The pyramid shook again and this time, the third row lost control and she came tumbling down, down, down…

She hit the mats, but hard. I could hear the bone cracking and smell the blood coming out. Oh crap. I had forgotten about blood.

I stopped breathing as everyone ran over to find out what was wrong. "I'll get the nurse," I called. I needed to get out of there fast. Faking concern seemed like a good way to do it.

Before anyone could say, "Head Cheerleader," I was gone.

Yay! Will Alice make the team? Will anyone find out? Will I get takeout Chinese for dinner? Review to find out!
