It All Started With A Bet
Chapter 6: Cheerleading?!

"Whoa Whoa Whoa. I never said I would sign up for this!" I exclaim unhappily at Mitchie.
Mitchie pouts and says, "You're the one who took the bet. Come on! It'll be fun. I'm trying out with you!"
I glare through the glass window at the gym full of cheerleaders. I roll my eyes and walk into the gym. Mitchie smiles happily and follows closely. It's been about a week since the first date with Nate, which had ended in a sweet kiss.. on the cheek. Sure, I was a little disappointed. That was, until he asked me out for this upcoming Friday. Football is just beginning and he wants me to see him play. Of course, I if I make the cheer squad I won't be able to watch him run around the football field looking absolutely gorgeous..
I accidentally run into someone.
"Oh, sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." I say politely.
The girl glares at me and I realize who it is. Sarah. From the movie theater. Who still looks like she wants to feed me to wild, untamed lions. She continues to glare at me and then sits down on the gym floor, stretching. I get down on the floor and start stretching, too. I've seen cheerleading movies, I know sort of what to do. Okay, that was a complete lie. I have no idea what to do. I'm like a gorilla you find on the beach. It just doesn't happen. I hear the coache's whistle blow and I see girls standing up. Mitchie and I get up and smile at each other.
"Okay, ladies. Since today is Monday, it's the first day of Cheerleading tryouts!"
Everybody claps. The coach looks like a model basically. She has long blonde hair and looks about in her twenties.
"My name is Cindy, and I will be teaching you the routine in which you will have to know for Friday, the final tryout day. Who's ready to get started?" Cindy says cheerfully.
A little too cheerful if you ask me..
"Let's start with 8 laps around the gym, then 4 walking, then meet me back here and we'll start the routine! On three.."
A few seconds later, we're all running.. including Cindy. Mitchie and I run together.
"you.. didn't … tell … me… this… involved… running.." I pant as we finish our 3rd lap.
Whoever designed this gym, definitely has it out for me.
"I didn't know.." She lies.
I look at her doubtfully.
"Okay, okay! So I did know. I've been a cheerleader for many years. I'm used to it."
I glare at her as we run. I've never really pictured her as the 'cheerleader' type.
She must have noticed me glaring, because she laughs and says, "My mom was a cheerleader, my grandmother was a cheerleader, my great-grandmother was a cheerleader.. so as you can tell.. I have to be a cheerleader. I love it though!"
I smile at her. You can really tell how much she loves it. We manage to get our laps done in less than 15 minutes. We started on the routine and I thought I was going to die.
"Am I dead yet?" I ask while closing my eyes during a water break.
Mitchie laughs and says, "No, but look who just entered the gym!"
I open my eyes for a second and smile. Nate and Shane have just walked in.
"I'll give you guys 20 minutes to let your hearts slow down, but then it's back to the routine!" Cindy says with a big smile.
I resist the urge to smack her down as Mitchie and I make our way to the guys.
AN: How was it? Good? Bad? Review please!
