I walked in front of the three girls sitting at a long table. Looking to my left I saw the bleachers had at least a dozen boys watching, including Trent and Davis. I flattened my shorts and looked back at the girls.
"Okay Sapphira. I need you to show us some jumps, kicks, and a full cheer." Mandy said smiling at me. I wiped my sweaty palms on my oversized t-shirt and sighed. "First I need to see you do a toe touch." I nodded and took my stance. I put my arms up, jumped, and did the perfect toe touch. I swore I heard a gasp come from Pinky. I landed perfectly and took a deep breath. "Wow well done." Mandy nodded. "Front kick." I kicked my foot up touching my knee to my nose. "Okay now a cheer." I stood nervously and glanced over at Trent and Davis who sat whispering to each other as they looked at me.
"Can I play and song and do my routine to that?" Mandy thought for a second.
"Sure." She said. I walked over to the boom box that sat on the table and pushed play. "Don't you have your own music?" She asked looking at me confused.
"No I'd much rather do what I feel." As the song started I began to move. Kicking high, jumping high, and clapping my hands. When the song ended the whole gym stood up and clapped for me. I panted and grabbed my water bottle in front of the table leg. Mandy walked over to me and attempted to hug me. I stepped back and shook my head. "I don't like people touching me." I said as she stepped back.
"Well you made it on the Bullworth Academy cheerleading squad." She said happily. Christy and Pinky sat at the table fakely smiling. I watched as Trent and Davis walked down the bleachers. They stood at the bottom like they were waiting. "Well great guys. Our first practice will be Friday after school. So yea I guess congrats to you guys for making the team again and congrats to you for actually making it Sapphira."
"Thanks." I said walking toward the door to leave.
"Sapphira can I talk to you?" Casey asked as I walked by the group of Jocks. I looked at Davis.
"I kinda have to go can it be quick?"
"Yea. You wanna go out with me after practice Friday?" He asked.
"Uh I don't know. Can I think about it?" He stepped back.
"Yea, I guess, but don't forget to get back to me." He said as I walked away.
"Shot down." I heard one of the boys behind me say. I walked by the two boys and stepped outside. I scanned the grounds to find no prefects in sight. I pulled out a cigarette and placed it between my lips lighting it quickly and taking a drag.
