The only thing they can

It would sound unbelievable to anyone who stayed home that night

If not for the thousands of witnesses

And photographers

And high definition livestream

"Put your hands together for Sunnyside's best!" The commentators started "It's everyone's favorite cheer team!" The crowd began cheering moderately; Olivia and her girls had always had a decent contigent of fans, but this time it was different. As Olivia started out onto the field, a brief silence fell over the spectators

First Olivia, then Janet, then the next girl, until twenty four cheerleaders bounded out onto the field. Every one of them excitedly shaking their pompoms. Some wearing ribbons in their hair, some wearing stylish thigh highs or eye catching face makeup. All of them wearing bright, proud smiles

And absolutely none of them wearing a uniform

The crowd erupted like never before as twenty four cheerleaders took to the field completely naked. Hundreds of camera flashes rapidly swept accross the bleachers as the girls began their routine, performing as if nothing was different. Performing as if they weren't the twenty four most beautiful girls in school, putting everything on display for thousands of viewers

"I can't believe this is happening" Janet thought to herself just five minutes earlier, her hands shaky as she hesitantly slid her little cheer skirt down her legs "Come on, everything off, girls! You need to get out there now!" Mrs. Taylor was shouting. Before Janet knew it, she was naked. Butt-ass naked "After I go out there" she thought as she lined up with the other girls "My life is over."

One girl, new to the team, was still in her full uniform "I can't do this!" She cried "Naked? This is so crazy! I can't do it!" Another girl approached her and pulled her top over her head "It's all of us, or none of us! We have to!"

Some of the other girls were still nervously unclasping their bras or slipping off their panties "Everyone" Janet's face burned as she ran her hands up her bare sides, her sharp fingernails teasing her exposed skin "Everything" She had gotten her nails done in school colors the night before, she thought it would look so cute matching her uniform "I have ****. My life is over"

Janet looked at her colorful nails, she was happy they weren't taken from her too

As the team performed, the crowd boomed, absolutely all attention was on the cheer team. The football game - usually one of the biggest game of the year - seemed like an afterthought at this point. Even the opposing cheer team and the football players seemed more interested in the Sunnyside cheer team than the actual game.

The girls lost themselves in the performance. Without flashy clothes to hide behind, and with all eyes on them, they had to nail every move. Maybe it was the adrenaline, maybe it was the solidarity between teammates, or maybe it was their stone cold determination to deliver, but the whole team put on a flawless performance

Janet met eyes with her crush, Dylan, sitting in the stands, staring at her mesmerized. As she performed, she focused on the audience, all of them watching in rapt attention. She spotted her friends, family and strangers all seeing her. Her feelings of vulnerability gave way to something else, morphing into a sort of profound confidence. Here she was, putting herself on full display. Full, unashamed exhibition, and she was succeeding. She felt like a goddess among mortals

While completely unspoken, she was certain it was a feeling that overtook her whole team

After the final quarter ended, Olivia dissappeared. She gave the performance everything she had, but she couldn't bear to face her team after putting herself through that. Spending the whole day at school naked? Sure. Watching her friend get fucked raw in the hallways? Fine. But letting down her twenty three closest besties through her own incompetence?

She couldn't bear the thought

Olivia snuck off and started walking home. What a crazy day its been, her head was still spinning. She wondered if Jessica was having a better day. Just as the thought crossed her mind, her phone buzzed

Her phone never leaves her hand, after all. It was the one thing she didn't leave on the bus that morning

"Yooo Liv!" It wasn't Jess. Olivia realized it would be weird if it was - they didn't exchange numbers or anything "Where'd you go? That was AMAZINGGG!!" It was Janet, texting the team group chat

"Yeah, omg, wow what a rush!"

"Did you hear everyone? I've never seen sooo many people into cheerleading before!"

"It's official! This is our new uniform! Forever!!"

Olivia stopped walking. She couldn't believe it. They didn't hate her... They didn't hate her! She briefly skimmed socials, all the other cheerleaders were posting selfies from the field, they were beaming with pride and confidence, and the response was overwhelming

"Girl, get your bare ass back here!"

"Yeah wtf we need our cheer captain!"

"Lol yeah, we can't go to the after party without her, obviously!"
