Chapter 5
Rosalie found the girl's cheer coach inside the gym with all the girls on the team. They had opted to stay in on 'free day' to practice some of their newer moves. Rose watched them fumble over a routine she could have learned in seconds. She had all the Bring It On movies on DVD, and had watched an entire season of Make It or Break It On Demand. This would be all too easy especially with her vampire agility and grace. Even though she wasn't dressed properly for stunts, she figured if she poured on enough charm, she could get an impromptu tryout like Emmett had. She pulled her hair into a high pony tail, golden honey waves cascading down her back. All the other girls there had to curl the ends of their ponytails to get that cute cheer curl. Rose's just fell naturally that way. She strutted up to the woman. She looked to be in her mid thirties with mahogany hair cropped to her ears, and a genuine smile on her face. She reminded Rosalie a bit of Alice.
"Hi, My name is Rosalie. I just moved here, and was wondering if it would be at all possible if I could try out for the team? I am a quick study and have cheered before so it's not like I would be behind."
Ok, so she lied about that last part. She had never cheered before, but being a vampire would make up for that fact a hundred times over. Besides they all had to lie about just about everything, so what was one more right? The woman gave her a once over.
"Well fortunately enough for you, one of our girls just sustained an injury that'll have her out for the rest of the season, and we could really use another cheerleader on the squad right about now. You said you've cheered before?"
"Yes, I did say that."
"Well can you show me some moves?"
Rose just simply nodded and marched over to the other end of the gym. The group of girls from earlier had just walked in with the rest of the class, and came to rest on the bleachers. Emmett beamed at her, and gave her two thumbs up. He was already donned in the school's football jersey. That was astonishingly fast. That coach sure doesn't waste time. She wondered who coach Harrison had sent to fetch it for him, and how they were able to find one big enough to fit him at all. The cheer coach cleared her throat, ending all of Rosale's musings. Rosalie knew she should keep it low key, but with those girls watching she knew she couldn't just hold back. Running forward she launched into a front-handspring into a front aerial, then another front handspring into a double pike. Obviously she stuck the landing. Before they could start clapping, she started on her way back. Round-off into a double back-handspring into a double full, perfectly executed. The whole gym broke out into whoops and hollers. The cheer coach just stood there mouth agape.
"Welcome to the team." she said.
