Chapter 9 'Practice and surprises'
By Thetruemeaningoflove
I walked over to Troy's car and was glad to see that on the trip over here none of the other boy's had messed up his car, that's the one thing I hated a messy car.
I put Josh in the car seat in the back of the car and walked around to the driver's seat. I glanced at the clock and it read 7:20 I knew that most of the girls on the team would be up by now and if not then they soon would be.
As I turned on the engine and then the radio, I took out my phone and started texting.
Hi girly girls,
Cheer practice at my house come at 8 and don't be late or we won't practice in the gym with the Black nights!
Love Gabi xxx
The good thing about being head cheerleader it meant that I got to choose where we practiced and if they were ever late or didn't concentrate they wouldn't be in the same room as the basketballers for a week.
Another thing I didn't like and that was taking dancing for a joke and if one cheerleader really did they got kicked off the team.
I pulled out of the School and made my way home, looking out the window I decided that we could practice outside as it was sunny but there was a small breezed that the girls would be glad of when I was finished with them, I wouldn't let the practice close until we had it perfect!

Once the other 9 girls had arrived I looked at the clock and was glad to see that everyone was 5 minutes early.
Before I walked out to the Garden I quickly checked on Josh 'Hey Cutie, I'm gonna be out side for a while do you wanna come or stay in here and watch a DVD?' I asked and Josh came running towards me so lifted him up and rested him on my hip as I walked outside.
'Right then I showed you all the routine yesterday, but I'll show it to you again join when you pick it up' I ordered to everyone as I placed Josh on the grass to play with some of his toys
I walked over to the stereo player and started the music.

It was 12:30 and we were still working on the routines, every time someone did a jump in the wrong place or their kicks weren't high enough.
I was doing backwards somersaults, flips and splits when I heard the gang walk in the back yard and I had a feeling that Chad was gonna do something. 'Chad, if you even think about doing or saying something to put the girls off you are gonna wish you never knew me!' I made it very clear so that he wouldn't even say something dumb.
Once the routine was finish I gave everyone a hug and told them that I would meet them at our school at 2:30 as game started at 3. (A/N I don't know if I have already said what time the game starts if I have and it's different then just make it 3)
The rest of the squad picked up there gym bags and went back home, probably to rest for a little while we had worked for 4 and a half hours with only a 10 minute break.
I walked over to the gang and every one of them were looking at me in amazement, I don't think they have every seen some of the moves that I had done. 'Oh My God Giggle's when did you learn to do that!' Sharpay was staring at me in shock and I looked at her weirdly and then I giggled.
'Pay I've been able to do that for ages. Didn't any of you know' I asked and they all shook their heads no even Alex and Seth! I got up to get a bottle of water but every one was still staring at me. 'Okay what am I gonna have to do to make you stop staring?' I questioned but they all shrugged their shoulders except Chad 'What Chad what do you want me to do?' if Chad gave me something then it had to be really random or hard but I was proved wrong when he answered my question. 'Do that thing you did a minute ago!' it wasn't that hard but I had to make sure what he was talking 'The tumble?' I asked and he nodded his head enthusiastically.
I sighed and made my way to the other end of the garden, but before I started my tumble I asked Alex to hold onto Josh or I might jump on him, she quickly ran and placed him on her lap were she had been seated before.
I took a deep breath and then I started a round off, then a handspring, a full somersault, next a front punch step out, round off, three handsprings then a double somersault. (Video in profile)
They were still staring at me still and I let out an annoyed sigh luckily Troy snapped out of it and walked up to me and hugged me 'Well done that was awesome' I smiled and then said a polite 'Thank you, I'm gonna go get some water anyone want some?' I questioned and every one said yeah.
As I was making my way back into the house I was glad when I heard foot steps behind me. 'So were you ever gonna tell me that you are amazing a cheerleading and gymnastics?' the voice behind me asked 'Well Troy I bet there are a few things I don't know about you.' I replied and smirked at him.
Once we where back out side I gave every one their water and headed over to one of the sun loungers, Sharpay, Troy and Seth were playing with Josh, he was laughing as Troy swirled him around he loved all the attention, Taylor and Chad were talking about how I did my tumble and Alex and Stephen were making out, I couldn't help but giggle at the two they looked really cute together.
I was took out of my thoughts when I heard my phone ringing, I looked down at the called id and sighed at who it was, but I still pressed accept. I brought the phone up to my ear and greeted them with a 'Hello'
'Babe, I have been trying to reach you for ages where have you been?' that was Matt all over constantly thinking I'm up to no good.
'Sorry, I was doing it cheer practice at my house and I left my phone inside!'
'Ohhh that's why Megan didn't come over today' after Matt realized what he said he kinda stopped talking which was very unusual for him.
'What do you mean Megan didn't come over today?' I asked with anger in my voice as well as hurt.
'Well she was gonna come and help me with my math homework, yeah math homework!' I knew he had made it up on the spot plus I was in his math class and I could tell you that Megan was not!
I heard someone walked thought his door and shout 'Hey Babe!' and I could tell by the voice that it was Megan.
'Ok whatever you say babe, Ohhh and you should of told me you were moving math class cuz the last time I checked I was with you and wasn't there' I have to say I kept my cool on and didn't start shouting.
I heard him reply a simple 'Ohhh' and then he went quite again 'By the way tell Megan I say hi and she needs to come and see me before the game today!' with that I hung up and I knew that Matt knew I was onto him.
I looked up to see Alex looking down on me and I let out a sigh but was glad to see that she sat beside me and hugged me.
'Hey what's wrong little sis?' Alex asked and I kinda giggled.
'You do know that I am younger then you by like an hour!' I replied.
'Well actually technically I am a day older than you and in school years I am a year older than you so that makes me you big sister!' I sighed as I knew she was right really and she had the birth certificates to prove it.
'He is doing it again!' I let out a sigh and Alex knew exactly who I was talking about, but we had come up with a system, instead of calling Matt, Matt we would refer to him as He. That why Seth wouldn't get suspicious and want to kill him.
'What are you gonna do about it honey' Alex asked.
'Well I think I have scared Megan off and I'm gonna put her at the back in the game today, and he knows that I'm onto him so he won't do anything with her while I'm around.' It was true he wouldn't try anything with Megan knowing that I knew that their may have been a little thing going on.

I made sure that I was at West High at 2:15 so that was there before anyone else, I was surprised when I heard a man walking though the changing rooms at first I thought that it was the caretaker but then I felt someone wrap their arms around me, at first I thought it was Troy but when I turned in their arms I was shocked to find who it was. Matt. I shrugged him off and walked away, I didn't rally want to be near him at the moment.
'What's the matter babe, what have I done wrong?' that question made me turn around.
'If I ask you a question will you answer it truthfully?' I knew that he wouldn't really answer to the truth but it might of made him think.
'Yeah course, why do you ask?' I could hear a little worry in his voice.
'Am I not good enough for you?' as I said this I could feel tears pricking my eyes but I wasn't going to cry that is one thing I never let Matt see.
'You are more than enough for me Gabi!' he was seriously talking bullshit.
I walked off leaving Matt feeling very confused. As I walked into the changing room there was some of the girls and the important person, Megan.
I walked over to her and gave her a fake smile, the look on her face was kinda scared, I guessed that Matt had told her that I knew what was going on.
'Hey Megan did you have a nice time round my boyfriends house?' I said it kind of happily but said boyfriend with emphasis
'Look Gabi nothing happened I swear we are just friends!' she looked like I was gonna kill as she started backing up to the corner.
'Stop talking shit Megan cuz you and I both know that Matt can't be just friend with girls!' I stormed out of the room but not before shouting 'You are no longer in the second row, switch with Nicole on the back!' I could tell that today everyone would do their very best in the routine as they didn't want to be on my bad side.
Not today!
