All’s Well That Ends Well...

I never pictured myself as a cheerleader. Even though my best friend, Heaven, was on the squad, it was something I never had any interest in. When information for tryouts came out, the pressure from my teachers and friends began to get to me.
My best friend was a cheerleader the previous year and she was planning on trying out again. The only problem was that she did not have any friends on the cheer team.
I could see the desperation in her eyes when she asked “Avey, can you please, please, please tryout for cheer with me?” For a moment I just looked at her with a blank expression across my face.

Moments later I found myself in the practice room preparing a dance for tryouts. I figured if I do a bad job I would not make it.

Cheerleaders Ahead Summary

1. “A fence might be a very good idea, perhaps with some razor wire and a warning sign “Danger: Cheerleaders Ahead.” I found this sentence humorous because the author, David Bouchier, is ridiculing how cheerleaders are scattered everywhere. They create loud noises and are dangerous to be near. Bouchler hopes there will be a fence with a warning sign in order to contain the cheerleaders in one specific area. By doing this, it keeps the people safe and himself safe from being trampled to death. 2.…
