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, itās the day that I, Madison Jane Hays, got rejected from the Titans and forced to join the dreaded, B-Squad Grizzly Bears. Thatās right. My name was sandwiched in between Jared āJazzhandsā Handler and āToxicā Tabitha Sue Stevens. Oh, and the girl who canāt even speak English, Katarina Tarasov. Yup, weāre 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??!! Iām never going to make it to Nationals with a team like this. All Iāve 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, Iāll never know. What I DO know? If I donāt whip this team into shape fast, Iāll literally DIE from embarrassment. Thank goodness I have my BFFs Lanie and Evan to keep me saneāotherwise, 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?
