Confessions of a Wannabe Cheerleader

Afternoon, my crib

Spirit Level:
Cheered Out

OK, so this was supposed to be the first day of my new, totally fantastic life as a Port Angeles School Titan Cheerleader. BUT instead, its the day that I, Madison Jane Hays, got rejected from the Titans and forced to join the dreaded, B-Squad Grizzly Bears. Thats right. My name was sandwiched in between Jared Jazzhands Handler and Toxic Tabitha Sue Stevens. Oh, and the girl who cant even speak English, Katarina Tarasov. Yup, were one big hairy family. I went from being a god-like Titan to a lowly Grizzly in like, five seconds. My life. Is Seriously. O-V-E-R. I mean, who cheers at chess matches??!! Im never going to make it to Nationals with a team like this. All Ive ever wanted to do in life is cheer for the Titans. My mom (the most gorgeous, youngest ex-Titan cheerleader of ALL TIME, BTW) must be so disappointed! How she ended up with such a spastic daughter, Ill never know. What I DO know? If I dont whip this team into shape fast, Ill literally DIE from embarrassment. Thank goodness I have my BFFs Lanie and Evan to keep me saneotherwise, I might SERIOUSLY lose it.

When Maddy's triple flip becomes a major FLOP during tryouts, the whole gym echoes with the snickers from the Titan cheerleading triumvirate: Katie Parker, Clementine Prescott, and Hilary Cho. Forced to join the challenged B-Squad Grizzlies instead, Maddy realizes that to become a Titan she'll need to whip the Grizzlies into shape first. Will Maddy ever land on top of the pyramid with a squad like this? Maybe not, but when her awesome designs for new Grizzly uniforms get revealed at a big game, even the Titans are overheard whispering her name. Does this mean what she thinks it means?
