Chapter 5: Jade's big break

It was now the month of October and homecoming was coming up soon. The Jump City Titans' football team was undefeated complete with 13 wins and 0 losses. As of right now, the boys were on the field for football practice and the cheerleaders were on the side practicing.

"Alright ladies! Homecoming is in two weeks! Lets get this build perfected!" Said the cheer captain, Angel Donovan. She was a senior who was all tall legged and blonde.

The cheerleaders were doing a ten person pyramid with four spotters in the back. Since Jade was the smallest on the team, she was on top.

"Hey Jade, are you okay? You look nervous." Asked Karen.

Jade rubbed her hands together nervously and nodded. "I've done high liberties, extensions, and regular builds numerous times but this is scary."

"Don't worry girl just stay tight, smile, and don't look down. You got this."

Jade smiled and Karen gar her a quick hug. Then the cheer captain called them over.

"Ready!" The building groups got into positions. There were four on bottom, three, two, and then one.

They started to go up very carefully. The sideline cheerleaders held there hands up to catch anyone who might fall. Finally, Jade made it to the top. She flexed her legs, flattened her toes, and made a high V. She smiled when she heard Karen cheering her on.

"Woah dude look at your girlfriend!" Yelled one of the football players to Roy. Roy turned his head and saw his girlfriend perched on top of the pyramid. He smiled widely and yelled, "You go Jade!"

Jade smiled at the sound of her boyfriend!a voice. She felt good. This was the next big step in her cheerleading career and she was feeling pretty proud.

Until Kitten Moth, a cheerleader who was holding Jade up decided to sneeze.

The pyramid began to wobble and Jade could feel it. After that, it seemed as if everything was going in slow motion. Everyone on the field, in the bleachers, on the track, watched as Jade fell from the top of the pyramid. She let out an ear piercing scream and then CRACK.

"JADE!"

TT

Beep...beep...beep. Jade opened her eyes and the first thing she saw were the cream colored walls. Then she noticed a few bunches of flowers on the window sill. Then she felt a sharp pain in her left leg and winced. After taking in her surroundings, she realized where she was. The hospital.

"No..." She felt tears coming to her green eyes as she remembered falling from the pyramid. She noticed the big white cast reaching up to her mid-thigh and felt a bandage on her forehead. She began to cry.

"No no no no!" She tried to reassure herself that this was all a dream and she'd wake up from it any time soon. But it wasn't.

"Hey..hey...calm down." What she didn't notice was that Roy had fallen asleep in a chair next to her bed. But her protests and crying woke him up.

"My leg is..is broken! H-how am I sup-posed to ch-ch-cheer!" She cried out and the tears flowed freely down her face.

"Babe, calm down." Roy held one of her hands and stroked her hair with the other. "I'll get the doctor and your parents okay?"

Jade nodded lightly and Roy kissed her on the head. Then, he left the room.

Jade sighed and started to cry all over again.

The next day in school, Jade had shown up with Roy on crutches. She was the school's main topic of the week.

She had learned that she'd be on crutches for at least three weeks and couldn't cheer for the rest of the year. Yes, she was heartbroken but the doctors assured her that with enough physical therapy, she'd be back cheering by next year.

"Easy now." Roy said to his girlfriend who almost fell over.

"I can't work these things..." Jade said with her head down.

"You'll be used to them in no time. I'll be with you every step of the way."

When they reached her locker, it was decorated on the outside. There were fake flowers all over it and signs that said 'Get Well!' Or 'We love You!' Jade smiled big and saw all of her friends walking her way.

"You guys are the best!" She exclaimed, tears filling her eyes already.

"We wanna be the first ones to sign your cast!" Yelled Gar while holding up a sharpie.

"I already beat you guys to it." Roy said pointing to the note on her cast that said 'I love you Princess! Love, Roy.'

"But you have an advantage lover boy." Jenny added.

Kori gave Jade a hug and said, "I'm so sorry for what happened Jade."

"No worries...now you guys need a replacement."

Karen frowned and could tell she was upset. But they did need a replacement.

"I know...someone who has pep and a good body."

The group looked around and all eyes fell on Kori.

"Oh...no no no no..." Kori said knowing exactly what they were saying. "No you guys, I'm not the cheerleading type."

TT

"Karen are you sure I look okay?" Kori asked while adjusting her red, white, and blue cheerleading uniform.

"Yes! Right Jade?"

"Totally! It makes me feel better that you get my old uniform instead of someone else." Jade added.

Kori tugged at the skirt and actually liked the looks of it. Less than six hours ago, Kori had reluctantly joined the cheer squad. Now, they were at Jade's house reviewing everything about cheerleading from good posture and tight motions to high jumps and flexibility. Kori had been worried at first because she was the president of StuCo and had a lot on her plate especially with homecoming coming up.

"Are you guys sure?" Asked Kori yet again.

"YESSSSS." They said simultaneously.

"Okaaayy...if you say so."

"Kori you look great. Now, practice is everyday after school so be there with gym clothes and tennis shoes." Explained Jade.

"And since yore not an experienced flyer, you'll probably be practicing that or simply just cheering while we build." Added Karen.

Kori nodded taking in the amount of information. She did look good in the uniform. And she did have a lot of pep. "I can do this."

TT

"I can't do this Karen." Kori said pacing back and forth on the track. It was A Friday night and it was also homecoming night. There was still seven minutes left before the big game started and after two weeks of practice, Kori was a great cheerleader.

She had mastered flying and had amazing toe touches. Her voice was loud and even if she did mess up, a simple smile would make everything better.

Karen took Kori by the shoulders and shook we gently. "Kori. It's just a high liberty. You've done this a thousand times!"

"I know but look at that crowd!" Kori pointed to the giant crowd of JC Titans fans. "What if I mess up!?"

"You're not going too!" Karen started to pull her towards the other cheerleaders.

"Ladies! Gather around!" Angel demanded. All the girls huddled around their captain.

"Don't forget the routine. We do the fight song, Kori goes into a high liberty with two side groups, we cradle and spirit!"

Everyone nodded and soon it was time to cheer. Kori rubbed her hands nervously together.

"I believe in you Kor." Said Karen and the buzzer rang, signaling the start of the game.
