CHAPTER 7: PEP RALLY
"Five more minutes until Pep Rally begins, so we won't be able to finish painting the clay pots until next Tuesday." The art teacher informed the class. "So it's about time to clean up."
Riley loved art with a passion, so he was always frustrated when something or someone prevented him from completing his artwork, even if it had to do with the Pep Rally. "Damn." He muttered as he placed his clay pot on one of the art tables. He nearly ran to the sink to wash his hands and his paint brushes. He quickly dried off his hands, picked up his book bag and scurried out of the room. He was supposed to be in the gym two minutes ago and, although it was two minutes, he knew his bitch ass Coach would trip. At that, he rolled his eyes.
As he approached the gym, he was surprised to find his Coach actually smiling at him.
Wow.
He also noticed that some of his teammates had on their uniforms, and others were dressed just as casual as he was. Thank God the Coach didn't make it mandatory for them to wear their uniforms this time or he would never hear the end of it.
He threw his bag towards the wall on the gym, ignoring his Coach's weird behavior, and walked up to Caesar and Cindy. "What up niggas!" He playfully greeted. "Ya'll know I'm hype as a bitch!" He bellowed.
"Woop Woop!" Cindy added to the excitement and did a jig. Caesar danced along with her and started doin' the dougie. Just then, the DJ on the other side of the gym played Lil' Wayne's 6'7' and the basketball, football, rugby, volleyball, and even the soccer team members were hype.
"Ayee!" Riley loudly chanted as he did a jig of his own, along with Caesar and Cindy. Coming up behind them were their fellow teammates and their good friends Lamaar and Marcus. Marcus was a better dancer than Lamaar, so all four friends stood beside each other, still dancing to the music as Marcus did some Chris Brown moves.
It wasn't long before the drum line of the band came through both doors on either side of the DJ, playing along with the song. "Oh shit, niggaaa!" Cindy shouted, half-heard through the music. Everyone loved the drum line. The band was hot too, but there was just somethin' about the drum line that hyped everyone up to their highest peak.
Following behind the drum line were the students of Wuncler High School. Behind them were the teachers.
As the students filled up the bleachers, going to their right class, and the teachers lined up against the walls, the music changed to Chris Brown's Look At Me Now and the crowd went wild.
"Ayyee!" "That's that shit, nigga!" "Ah! Ah! Ah!" "Yeeaah!" "Damn!" "Look at me now!"
They sang along with the song and did their little dances as they stood in their spots. The cheerleaders on the floor did a dance they had practiced as the music continued.
The step team and the dance team were nowhere to be found. Maybe they were going to make an entrance or something. Nobody knew, but they couldn't wait for this thing to get started.
In the Senior section that read 'Class of 2011', Huey stood on the third row next to the black and Korean beauty, Briana. He didn't really pay her any mind though. He just looked to the gym floor where the band, the sports players and the cheerleaders were.
Couldn't say the same for Briana though.
The desperate five foot young woman shot a few glances in his direction and couldn't help but smile. He was so cute and…tall. Tall was good. It was actually a turn on. But she knew that he was taken. Immediately, she inwardly groaned.
Jazmine Dubois.
The display she'd seen earlier in the hallway after Chemistry nearly made her blanch. To see Huey kiss Jazmine and then wrap his arm around her shoulders both shocked her and pissed her off.
Just who does Jazmine Dubois think she is? That miss goody-two-shoes took her potential man! What did he see in her anyways? She was too sweet and naive. What would a scowling, seemingly mean-spirited, and highly intelligent guy want with a stupid, sensitive and overly sweet girl like Jazmine Dubois? Briana rolled her eyes. It was whatever. Their relationship would blow over soon. Huey would realize that Jazmine is not what he wants and Briana will gladly open her arms to let him in. It wouldn't be long. All she had to do was wait.
Meanwhile, the DJ gradually turned off the music and the drum line stopped playing their drums. The crowd cheered excitedly until the President of Wuncler High warned them to quiet down. "Alright, everyone settle down, now." She sternly announced in the microphone. It took a minute, but the crowd eventually went silent.
"Okay. Hello you guys! And welcome to the first 2010-2011 Pep Rally of the year!" She started as the crowd began to go wild again. She shushed them again and continued. "Settle down, please. Now, before we get started, would everyone please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance presented by the AROTC."
At that, the entire gym rose up on their feet. Some people placed a hand over their hearts while others just stood respectively as the AROTC leaders walked out and held the flag and the band began to play.
After the Pledge, everyone took their seats on the bleachers.
As Huey started to sit down, he felt something lightly graze his butt and realized that it was…someone's hand? He turned to his left and saw Briana with a false apologetic look on her face.
"Oh, I'm sorry. You just had something on your pants and it was bothering me." She lied. Huey continued to look at her as he sat down as if she was crazy but he let it go. He wasn't stupid. He knew nothing was on his pants, but he just brushed it off.
"Oh, thanks." He nonchalantly thanked her and diverted his attention back to the floor. Briana slightly glared at him for looking at her like that, but she soon paid attention to the floor as well.
"Now we'd like to reintroduce to Wuncler High, the all male basketball team!" The president excitedly exclaimed as the crowd cheered for the team. The boys all ran to the center of the gym to get into a huddle. In the huddle, they began to chant something incoherent to the crowd, but it still sounded good. Riley ended it with a "YOU KNOWW!" And everyone went crazy as the team left the floor.
Then came the female basketball team, the volleyball team, the soccer team, the football team and the rugby team.
The cheerleaders were reintroduced as well, but rather than chanting and huddling, they did a routine, which was kinda wack, but it was whatever. The gym clapped for them anyways.
Next, the President made a few showcased the candidates for Homecoming King and Queen and Prince and Princess, followed by some more hype music for the students (and teachers) to dance to.
And then…
The moment they've all been waiting for…
All of a sudden, the gymnasium was pitch black, earning a few shrieks from the punks in the stands. Once the lights flicked back on, the step team was in the center of the floor with the dance team in tow, posing. The audience roared once they saw their beloved 'club hoppers' on the floor.
Huey couldn't help but smirk as he saw Jazmine looking all cute. She had her eyebrow raised, just as Huey always did, except it was a bit sassier and her hands were on her hips. Her hips were sort of leant to the right and her back was straight. All that attitude was very appealing to Huey.
And oh Lord. Briana's nosy ass happened to notice him smirking at his girlfriend and she puffed silently. Huey didn't even know that she did it; he was just focused on his girl.
The step team started and did their moves and what not. And…okay, they're not really important to you guys are they? I mean, we're waiting on Jazmine and Stacia. Not the step team.
But the crowd loves them too, so…sigh.
Oh well, skipping them…
When the step team finished, they went back to their posing positions in front of the dance team. All of a sudden, Another Planet by Jawan Harris and Chris Brown blared through the speakers and earned a reaction out of both the dance and the step teams. The difference is that the step team was leaving by stepping along with the song and the dance team walked up to the area where the step team just was in a saucy manner. The way they switched their hips caused some boys in the crowd, along with some girls (?) to yell out and whistle.
"Go 'head, now!" "Yeah, baby!" "Damn!" "Okaaay!" "Owww!"
Huey definitely couldn't disagree with the crowd on that one. Even Stacia looked sexy walking like that. Not that he didn't think she was pretty or anything, but he didn't look at her like that, so it was a definite shock.
He eyed Jazmine and bit back a groan. She was increasingly turning him on more and more and he despised himself a little for not having control over his hormones. He just couldn't help but stare at her ass as she continued to walk!
Riley reacted to the girls' switching just as Huey did. He cursed himself a little bit, but a part of him didn't care. His girl was killin' it, right along with Jazmine.
Now he really had to curse himself on that one.
Jazmine, though? She was like his big sister. What the hell?
But she was killin' it though.
Riley decided to just focus on his baby.
When the step team was finally gone and the dance team took their place, they stopped walking and got into a 'Rhythm Nation' pose. Jazmine and Stacia were in the front, two girls, Chelsea and Leah, were in the back, two girls, Meloney and Tiffany, were on the right side of the group and two other girls, Brandi and Nikole, were on the left side of the group. It was sort of like a Cross. As the first line of the chorus began, the real dancing started.
I be up in Mars, I be up in Mars [Jazmine and Stacia pop-locked along with the beat, moving their hips around in a ticking motion and moving their arms towards the ceiling.]
I be so fly I-I-I can touch the stars, [The remaining members remained still as Jazmine and Stacia continued to dance. Both girls slid to the left and then to the right and did some sort of swerving move that got the crowd a little pumped.]
I be up in Mars, I be up in Mars [Jazmine and Stacia continued to pop lock.]
When you see that spaceship, [They swerved their hands as if indicating that a spaceship was there]
YUP, that's my car [Everyone in the stands yelled as the entire dance team threw their hands up in the air in a gangster motion.]
The whole dance team shifted left to right and did some hot moves as the song went on and one. Once it was Chris Brown's turn to sing, the DJ did some scratching and the song switched to something the dance team knew what get the crowd hype…
Yes…[The girls switched their hips from side to side as the beat commenced.]
It's me again…[The crowd went freaking crazy! The girls continued to sway their hips to the beat.]
And I'm back…[The team mouthed the words as they did their last sway.]
Woo! [The girls clapped together and did the old school TLC Creep dance as the crowd sung along.]
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I-I, baby
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I-I, yeah
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I-I, baby
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I-I, yeah
The girls were killin' it! They stopped with the classic dance and smoothly did a dance of their own, full of pops, twists and grinds. Yeah, the grinds were definitely the best part.
Huey, Riley and Caesar were mesmerized by the girls' dancing. Huey was, of course, paying attention to Jazmine, Riley was paying attention to Stacia and Caesar was just paying attention. He thought all of the girls were gettin' it! Though he loved Jazmine and Stacia as friends, he didn't want to think about that right now. Right now, they were just two sexy girls rippin' the dance routine.
Huey diverted his attention from Jazmine's entire frame to her hips. Damn it! He couldn't even concentrate on the dance altogether! He knew Jazmine would ask if he liked it, but if he didn't pay attention, how would he? I mean, he did like what he saw, but that was kinda beside the point. He eventually gained enough control to look at the actually dancing rather than the girl's physical appearance.
It's only 'cause I need some affection, oh
So I creep, yeah I just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed to know
So I creep, yeah, cause he doesn't know what I do
And no attention goes to show
Oh, so I creep
Right before T-Boz' second verse, the last line echoed a few times and the song scratched right into Roger That by Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Tyga.
Huey rolled his eyes once he heard the song. He knew Jazmine definitely didn't pick this song. The other day, she said that she didn't care for Young Money. So this had to be someone else's idea.
The beat was hot though.
Errrrrr
I'm in the collard green 6 cornbread in the guts
Got that Halloween kicks trick or treat in the clutch
C'mon (censored) is you trickin' or what?
Flow, f-f-flow tighter than a (than a, than a)(errrrr)
Just hopped off the plane come back to van couv
Little white tee some (censored) and bamboo
White girls tell me 'Hey Nicki your camp rules!
Is that why you get more (censored) than shampoos?'
The DJ did a remix as the girls began to Krump in sync. The crowd looked at them in awe as they continued to kill it. It seemed as though they would never get tired.
Which is a flat out lie! Well, they really didn't look tired, but they sure as hell felt like it.
The girls were always tired when they danced, but they loved it. Their adrenaline was on high and they loved to get positive reactions out of the audience. It just pumped them up even more.
After the remix ended, the exit song came on and it was no other than…
With music by our side, to break the color lines
Let's work together to improve our way of life
Join voices in protest to social injustice
A generation full of courage come forth with me
People of the world today are looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation!
The girls stood in one spot and recited the last line as loud as possible, before a loud ass explosion erupted, thus, ending their routine.
At that moment, the students of Wuncler High clapped, cheered, hooped and hollered, threw crazy strings, blew horns and all of that for the dance team. The girls smiled and either waved to the crowd or bowed their heads in a respectful way. Jazmine, Leah and Chelsea bowed as the rest of the girls waved.
It wasn't long before the girls left the floor and headed to their right class within the crowd.
As Jazmine and Leah headed to the Senior class, people congratulated them on their performance and both girls thanked them and blushed. Leah waved to Jazmine as she sat next her boyfriend somewhere in the back row. Jazmine tried to look for Huey and damn near strained her neck trying to find him, when someone tapped her shoulder. She turned to her left to find her boyfriend looking down at her with a small smile. Jazmine smiled back and hugged him. She couldn't wait to get to him. The entire time she performed, she thought of Huey. She missed him within the few moments they spent away from each other.
Huey hugged her back and lead her to the area where he was sitting. Right then, Jazmine spotted someone with long dark hair, almond shaped eyes and medium brown skin.
Briana Taylor.
Jazmine didn't exactly know why, but for some reason, she always sensed a bad vibe from that girl. She didn't even know the girl and she internally slapped herself for judging her before getting to know her. But the thing is…she didn't want to get to know her.
Something told her that if she did, only trouble would await her.
So as she approached her seat, she let Huey sit next to the girl as she sat on the right side of him. Huey just shrugged at her suggestion and did as she told him.
The rest of the Pep Rally went on great. The seniors won the spirit yell and the entire upperclassmen, along with the sophomores, marched over to the freshman, chanting 'GO BACK TO JONES!'.
Jones was one of the middle schools in the Woodcrest area, and most students who went to Wuncler came from Jones. So the school just joked around with the freshman about that (well, some were serious).
Yep, the Pep Rally was amazing and everyone was content.
Well, almost everyone.
Briana continued to shoot daggers to the couple beside her as she watched them kiss for a brief second before they stood up to walk away. The Pep Rally was over, so everyone began to leave the stands. Everyone, but Briana, of course.
One way or another, you'll be mine, Huey Freeman. You just wait.
The pretty little psycho's thoughts became a bit more murderous than she ever thought possible, but at that point, she didn't really care.
She just wanted Huey all to herself, and she was not going to let anyone stand in her way.
Briana? Uh oh! I think this is the point where the drama begins...yeah...soooooo
Please tell me what you think! I'd love to hear from you! xD
