I am the head cheerleader for a rugby team in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Ever since I was a little girl, it was my biggest dream to be a cheerleader ✨. I was amazed by the beautiful, attractive and fit girls, their clothes, the perfect moves and the whole choreography, the fame that came with performing in this field. For me, all of these are pure art.
As soon as I became a high school student, I signed up for the cheerleading squad, and a few months later I was officially a member of the team. We took it very seriously, with four training sessions a week that we almost never missed. It took years of hard work to get here, where I am now and I’m proud of this.
We participated in a lot of competitions, and we have won countless cups and medals. Our squad is well publicized in the local press and we are loved by the fans.
Team play – one for all, all for one
Everything was so perfect, that I never imagined that it could go down almost overnight. But you can fall great only from a great height. And we were in the clouds, really. We were the best cheerleader squad in Minneapolis, and probably the best in Minnesota. And success can blind you, especially when you’re an ambitious teenage girl.
When I met Gigi Jameson she was a slightly unusual but very talented sixteen year old girl. I guess you could say we became friends, or at least that’s what I thought back then. But I should have seen red flags ?. On the other hand, she was hard-working, one of the core members of the team. And you could always count on her.
I never thought she would leave the Librabet cheerleader team overnight without any prior consultation. She barely gave us time to find someone to replace her. We only had two weeks until the next game and it was almost impossible. In the end we managed it somehow, I don’t really know how.
My team against your team
I didn’t see Gigi for weeks, I tried to call her several times, but she didn’t answer, so I gave up. I continued the work with the Librabet team, and things seemed to be stabilizing within the squad, but I still couldn’t understand what had happened to Gigi. I was worried about her.
Then at the next cheerleader competition, which the girls and I had trained a lot for, she simply showed up with a new team. With her very own team, the GGBet squad. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I’m sure everyone have seen my amazement, but I just couldn’t fake it ?. Our Gigi will perform against us.
Of course, she gave her own name to her team, GGBet. I wasn’t worried about them beating us, the girls aren’t quite familiar with each other yet. But my temporary confusion was felt in our performance, I know I didn’t give my best. I can do much, much better than that.
We finished third place in the competition, which is not that bad, but as I said before, me and my team are able to do more. After the competition I didn’t talk to Gigi, I just looked deep into her eyes.
In the following weeks, she launched a whole smear campaign against us, spreading mean rumors about me and the team. She said we were not following the health and safety procedures, and one of the girls is involved in an unethical relationship with the school principal. Which of course is not true!
I’m kinda crushed, but I’m not giving up! We’ll see what happens in the next competition. One thing is for sure: I would never stab my friend in the back and I will always stand by my team. No matter what. So, see you at the next cheerleading competition, GGbet. Good luck and may the best squad win! Cheers! ?
