Chapter 24 - That's Cathy, Diana's cousin

Alessie got to the field really early. No one was around and she figured they must still be on their way. 

She looked round her and smiled. She was too caught up in talking to Senior Mia that she didn't take a good look at the place the day before. The chairs or whatever it's called was red in colour. The sports arena was large. Alessie suddenly imagined herself right there, doing some cool moves she saw Senior Diana doing the other day. As she was still dreaming, senior Mia hit her on the head.

 " Ouch! "

Alessie said playfully. Mia smiled watching her carefully.

 " What were you thinking of? "

She asked walking to the changing room. Senior Mia had her locker and so did every other cheerleader.

 " Green Field's really the best in surprising one "

Alessie heard herself say. 

 " Yes. All these are planned yearly by we the seniors. Very soon, you'll also get the chance to plan yours. It's sort of like a final year project "

Mia explained. Alessie listened in awe.

 " That's like a really good thing. It makes way for new ideas "

 " Yup. By the way, why are you so early? "

Senior Mia asked bringing out her outfit. Alessie shrugged.

 " To make a first impression "

 " Reminds me of my first day here "

 " What happened? "

Alessie asked curious. 

 " Diana made me feel like I was inferior. That was until she got the shock of her life "

Mia said and laughed. Alessie really enjoyed her company. She was really sweet and kind of charming.

 " Didn't know Senior Diana was always like that. "

 " Well, she used to be sweet and loving too. "

Senior Mia said. Alessie laughed.

 " I wonder what she was like then "

 " Oh, she was like a little birdie, let out of a cage for the first time since eternity. "

Mia said and they both laughed

 " Alright, enough talks about Diana. Go get ready. And take this outfit for now. You musn't let me down "

She said giving Alessie a beautiful red cheerleading outfit. Alessie was surprised and grateful.

 " You're really giving me this? "

 " Nah, what did you expect. I'm just sending you. That's until you get yours "

Alessie immediately hugged her. Mia smiled.

 " Stop being a drama queen. It's only a dress "

 " No, it's way more than that. Thanks Senior Mia "

Alessie said happily. Mia frowned.

 " Didn't I tell you to drop the title. I'm just Mia, plain old me "

She said and Alessie smiled. Senior Mia made her feel like her younger sister. She was definitely the type of sister Alessie never had.

 " That's gonna take a whole lot of time "

 " Well take your time. Wait here, let me get dressed and then, if time permits, I'll teach you some cool moves that I learnt personally "

She said winking at Alessie. Alessie nodded and just stood there looking at the beautiful outfit. It'd have been really catchy if it had strips of blue at the waist. Either way, it was beautiful. 

Mia finally got out and Alessie looked at her wondering if she was the same person who had earlier went in.

 " Don't look at me like that. Is something wrong with the dress? "

Senior Mia asked puzzled as to why Alessie stared at her like that.

 " No, you look great "

 " Then why were you staring? "

Senior Mia pouted.

 " You look a lot like... "

 " Mia! "

A tall brunnete girl yelled happily as she walked towards them. 

 " Nicole, why I thought you weren't feeling well? "

Senior Mia said surprised to see her overly excited friend. Nicole smirked.

 " Did you really think I'd miss this? "

 " I don't know. Um, Alessie this is my friend..... Nicole. Nicole, say hi to Alessie. She's gonna be interviewed today. "

Mia said. Nicole looked at Alessie and smiled

 " You must be a new. I'm Nicole "

She said still smiling. Okay, what could cause someone to blush this much? 

 " You're right. Nice to meet you senior Nicole "

 " Don't worry, she doesn't bite."

Mia whispered to Alessie causing her to smile.

 " I was just about to change "

She said and walked into the dress room. Mia threw Nicole an invincible lunch.

 " Say is the Rock band playing for the newbies party? "

Nicole asked taking out her outfit. Mia sighed.

 " What's with you and the band,.you have a crush on Lawrence perhaps? "

 " No way. Yes he's handsome and rich, plus he's popular but he's just too busy for.... "

Nicole kept on talking but Mia wasn't listening. Alessie got out all dressed and they went back to the field.

 " Okay Alessie, you'll probably be given two minutes to prove your worth. Hope you're ready? "

 " Definitely. I woun't let you down Se... Mia "

Alessie said smiling. Gradually, the cheerleaders were already there. Alessie spotted Cathy chatting with Senior Diana. Wait, was she also in the cheerleading club? 

 " That's Cathy, Diana's cousin "

Mia said as if reading her mind. Alessie smirked.

 " Is she a cheerleader or intending to join? "

 " Intending, just like you. Don't worry, she stands no chance "

Senior Mia said giving her a thumbs up before leaving.

 " Okay, I can do this "

 " Well well well, if it isn't the ketchup girl. You're not with mustard? "

Cathy said mockingly. Alessie gave her the Senior Mia's wink.

 " What of you, where're your minions? "

 " How dare you? "

Cathy said about to hit Alessie's face but she stopped her.

 " You'd better not cause a commotion here Cathy. Now of you'd excuse me, I've gotta go train "

Alessie said jacking her hand off.
