Chapter 17

B: So there we were in the hallways headed towards the cafeteria. Actually, Possible and I seemed destined to be friends.

(The two of them opened the door to the cafeteria and stood in line for their food.

"Actually, I brought my lunch!" Bonnie said, opening the zipper of her purple lunchbox, "It's just a standard baloney and cheese sandwich that my mom made for me, along with carrots, pudding, and some juice. I'm going to sit with some of my cheer friends over there"

"Aww...that's nice! I'll meet up with Tara and some of the other cheerleaders at that table!" Bonnie replied while pointing to the table right next to a water spot with a caution-wet floor sign.

"OK, Bonnie. I'll get my spaghetti lunch and see you in a few!" Kim replied).

B: That was until the Naco Loser decided to make a grand entrance with the most hideous combination of clothes on him ever.

(Ron comes in wearing a small version of his normal red shirt with a black circle on it and frilly jeans suitable for young girls. This was the day before he bought Rufus.

"I am so hip and fly!" Ron exclaimed, trying to think he was the coolest kid in school.

"Ron, is that a good idea to wear that to Picture Day?" Kim groaned. "In all seriousness, those jeans make you a bit...how do I put this sitch mildly...weird..."

"KP, I wanna look cool for my school picture! And I am totally digging it!" Ron exclaimed. "Anyways, when I told my mom of my pants problem, she told me that getting these jeans from Club Banana Jr. would be the solution to that. Only drawback is that they are a teeny-bit too tight for my waist."

As it was, the young girl jeans were a bit tight around the waist area for poor Ron.

"I'm just glad that the picture in the MJHS yearbook is only from the shoulders up because I don't want you to run the risk of being sent to the principal's office!" Kim replied as they advanced closer in the lunch line. "The only thing that I would suggest to you is to avoid yourself in humiliating sitches in front of a crowd!"

"Don't worry, KP! I'm totally all over it!" Ron said before adding, "But seriously, it feels like my stomach is cutting into these pants..."

Bonnie, meanwhile, was sitting with her best friend, Tara, and the other cheerleaders.

"What are we going to do, Bonnie?" Tara exclaimed.

Bonnie, as it turns out, was looking at the middle school cheer competition rule book.

"Let's see...according to the latest rulebook updates, the competitions require us to have 18 cheerleaders on a junior high squad and how many do we currently have?"

Tara exclaimed, "We're totally short one cheerleader on our Middle School squad!"

"Then it may look like that we need to hold emergency cheer tryouts for that last position on the squad! Girls, get your clipboards out and fan out across the cafeteria! We're gonna need a lot of signatures!)

B: And so we did. We got signatures from around 30 girls in the cafeteria. Some of them wanted to be on the squad. Others, however, already had full schedules, so we didn't pressure any of them. The tryouts were set for tomorrow.

C: But you included Kim in your list of signatures?

B: (sighs) Yes, I did.

(Kim happily signs the form that's on the clipboard.

"Yay! I can't wait to be on the cheer squad! Goooo Jr. Mad Dogs!"

Bonnie then remarked, smiling, "Thanks, Kim! Your participation is going to help us out in the emergency tryouts tomorrow afternoon!"

She, however, said nothing to Ron and walked back to Tara and the other cheerleaders.

"Girls, did you get the other signatures?"

"Yes, yes we did, Bonnie!" came the unison reply from Tara and the other cheerleaders.

"Good, we have enough to get cheerleader number eighteen onto our squad!" Bonnie announced before leaning over towards Tara.

The brunette cheer captain whispered in the blonde's ear, "Keep an eye on that blonde right next to Kim! He's totally on my Loser Radar!"
