"We're just about ready to begin the cheer-off," Coach Schultz announced. "We flipped a coin and Jessica Wakefield's squad will perform first. One more minute girls, and then you're on!"
As they waited for their music to start, Jessica felt her heartbeat quicken in anticipation. A surge of adrenaline flooded her veins, and then the music began.
For a few moments, Jessica wasn't aware of anything or anyone but the seven girls she was perfoming with.
Her entire being was consentrated on the act of keeping in synch with her squad and performing her arm movements, footwork, and jumps with flair and precision.
The routine ended with each girl performing her most dramatic and polished jump combination and then they piled themselves into a pyramid. As Jessica and Lila boosted Jade to the top and then took their places at the side to support the girls at the bottom, the crowd leapt to it's feet in a standing ovation.
The applause was thunderous. All eight girls fell on eachother, hugging and laughing. "We did it!" Maria cried.
"Not a single mistake!" exclaimed Lila.
"Theres no way Heather can beat that, no way," declared Jessica, her cheeks flushed with triumph. "We're going to regionals, you guys. I'm sure of it!"
Will they win? "V" for Victory
