Don't fall.
Chapter 8
We arrived at his football practice and he told me to sit on the
bleachers.
I pulled out my phone and started texting my friends back
home.
A few minutes later I recieved a text from Bree.
I see you.
That's all it said.
I looked around everywhere for her and I eventually saw the
cheerleaders practicing.
I saw all the girls I met at the beach and they all invited me
over.
I smiled at them as I walked over, "Hey." I said.
"Hey," Bree said, "What are you doing
here?"
"Trevor invited me to practice with him."
"Awwwwe."
I changed the subject, "So you guys are all
cheerleaders?"
"Yeah. It's our passion." Anna said.
I smiled, "It's fun."
"Do you cheer?" Bree asked.
"I used to in New York." I said.
A lady overheard us and came up to me. I could tell she was the
coach. She had a clipboard and was wearing a whistle. "You
cheer?" She asked.
I nodded, a little bit scared of her.
"Show me what you got," was all she said to me.
"Yeah. Go Alex." Said all the girls.
"Uhmmmm." I said nervously.
"Here," Bree grabbed my arm, "I'll show you a
cheer."
Bree stood with her hands on her hips.
"One, two, three." She breathed in deeply.
She started clapping her hands, I followed.
She backtucked three times then landed on her toes.
She kept doing intense flips and tricks.
"Okay. Try that Alex." Bree said to me.
I took of my shoes and I got ready.
I repeated everything I could remember from Bree's cheer.
I messed forgot to herky at the end and I made a few other
mistakes.
Everyone was starring at me with open mouths.
"You're on the team." The coach said to me.
"What?" I said with wide opened eyes.
"You're. On. The. Team." She said. "Come
tomorrow wearing yoga shorts, a black sports bra, and white
champion shoes." She smiled at me.
I got excited and did a kart wheel. "Thank you so
much." I said.
"No. Thank you. We got rid of one of our flyers because
she-"
"SUCKED." Every girl on the team said.
"Yeah, she did. You're the perfect size, even smaller
than she was. You'll do great."
I smiled, "Thank you sooooooooooooo much." I said
again.
"Go home and get ready for tomorrow." She said.
I smiled and nodded.
A few minutes later I heard football practice finish up so I ran
to Trevor.
"Trevor. I made the cheer team."
"Really?" He grinned brightly and pulled me in for a
hug. "Congrats." He whispered in my
ear.
