To Cheer Practice

Hazel Weston looked over her squad as they formed up after a grueling practice session. Her boys, there were eight of them and they served as bases for her towers who caught the high flying fliers. They were all tall and well muscled. They were clad in shorts and some were topless showing off their well toned torsos. Not be undone by the hot guys on the team, her ladies were dressed in tight fitting revealing workout gear. As revealing as Coach Garcia would allow in any case.

"Okay that was a great practice!" Coach Luanna Garcia called out clapping her hands. Along with being the head cheer coach Luanna was also a history teacher for the junior and senior classes. Her family was a from the Philippines though she was born in raised in town and even graduated from the same high school as her students nearly ten years ago. Luanna was a youthful twenty-seven having newly graduated from grad school just two years prior. She was a popular history teacher and a former cheerleader herself. Luanna had dyed blonde hair that contrasted well with her tanned skin. She was short but will proportioned, though she carried most of her weight in her ass and legs. The cheer coach was clad in leggings, sneakers and a school hoodie while her blonde hair was tied back into a ponytail. "Let's do some stretches to cool down before we break for the day," she said after getting everyone attention. They nodded and broke and started to talk to one another as they started their stretching drills.

Hazel was a senior and team captain. She had caramel skin with with long silky black hair she wore in a high ponytail. Her body was slender and tight. Like most of the other girls on the team she had on tight-fitting top and shorts that showed off her toned legs. "So you think we should keep that routine?" she asked Coach Luanna once her attention was turned from the team.

"I don't know...I get you want to use it but we're having a lot trouble getting Nicole up high enough," Coach Garcia said and looked at Nicole Moss one the team's four flyers. She was their best. Nicole like Hazel was a senior and the alternate captain. She was a typical looking blonde with blue eyes. Though attractive she had a dime a dozen good looks and really did not stand out aside from the fact that she was tossed over twenty feet into the air during the routines and could land perfectly nearly every time.

"I think we could swap the bases around?" Hazel suggested and added, "Move Ronald and Phil to cover her. Ronald and Phil made up the strong base on the team, they never dropped anyone. They gave every flier an unyielding confidence when they chucked up them up.

"I don't know about that..." Coach Garcia thought and looked at Bailey Bush the other senior flyer as she joked around Ronald and Phil while she stretched. Bailey like the other flyer was short and muscular. She was a redhead and aside from cheerleading was a member of the school's JROTC. Unlike Nicole, Bailey stood out a bit being the only redhead on the team and her short height was accompanied by ample breasts. "Bailey works really well with Ron and Phil, she might not do as well if we swap her base."

"She could take it for the team," Hazel said. "It's our senior year, I really want the championship this year and I know Bailey wants it too."

Coach Luanna looked at her captain and nodded. "Fine talk to her and we'll see. I don't want to **** her into it. I don't need a flyer feeling uncomfortable."

"I'll take care of it coach," Hazel nodded. "Draya's flips are getting there I think," Hazel then said turning their attention to a tall blonde that was stretching by herself while staring off a bit aimlessly. Draya Kabakova was Russian born she did not talk too much and people mostly knew her for her uncanny skills for numbers. When she did speak she spoke with a thick accent. Draya was a recent transfer and she had been a gymnast before. Their school did not have gymnastics team so cheer was her only option. She was a powerful tumbler and could flip and jump better than anyone else on the team. Her only issue was that she was bit raw and didn't really listen to people.

"Yeah..." Couch Garcia replied. "I really need more control from her. She needs to work with Christina more...but the two of them are like cats and dogs..."

Christina Bates was another senior on the team. She was a sultry Latina with curvy frame and wavy long brown hair. Aside from being tanned skinned she was a typical all American cheerleader. She even spoke in a valley girl accent. There were rumors that she was a bully around school being a bit of a queen bee type. Hazel knew the girl picked on Draya a bit calling her 'Doris the Spy'. She kept this from the coach though as if she knew Christina was going to be booted and probably suspended if her bullying came to light.

"Yeah...I mean I think I can get Taylor or Madison to work with Draya perhaps?" Hazel suggested. She already knew there was no way that Christina would work with Draya as the two tumblers would kill each other. They were the best on the team though.

"Madison has trouble with her foot work and don't get me started on her tumbling..." Luanna said and winced looking at the slender brunette who was picking at her braces after taking a gulp of water from her pink jug. "Taylor is not a good as Draya, I don't think the she has anything to offer the girl in the form of help."

Taylor Anderson was a senior but was more of background team member than anything. She was well rounded though she was mostly a dancer. She could fly if she needed to and she could hold her own if she tumbled. The tall brunette was also a member of the volleyball team so she was not on the team full time. Hazel knew the girl only did cheer to gain the popularity. She was currently chatting up Christina instead of stretching. She desperately wanted to get into the queen bee's inner circle. It was a bit gross.

"Maybe we could get Christina to help plus have Zoey there to keep them from bickering?" Hazel then suggested.

Zoey Glass was a tall senior with long brunette hair. She had a bit of pointed nose that gave her unique profile. Like Taylor she was a bit well rounded on the team and despite her height she was pretty good at flying. She was an alternate since the team had shorter girls that were easy for the guys to handle in the air. Zoey's skill came from being everyone's friend on the team. Christina actually got a long with the girl despite the two not really being close outside of cheerleading. She was the team's third and last alternate captain.

Zoey was currently helping Savanah Houston with a cheer routine. Savanah was a senior but was also a rookie on the team. She was on the varsity team by default due her upper classmen status. Savanah was a pretty average brunette though she had vibrant blue eyes. She joined the team to get an extracurricular credit for college. Her grades were only subpar and her test scores were low on the low side. Cheer was a scheme to boost her transcripts so she could get out town when she graduated. She was pretty enough but was a sort of mess with everything skill wise. She had two left feet, was afraid of heights and could not tumble to save her life. Hazel could not fault the girl for trying though, she put more effort than everyone else on the team. In the end she was still their weakest link.

"No," Luanna shook her head. "I'm going to need Zoey to help Savanah out. If you want that championship that girl has to get better and Zoey has more patience between you and Nicole."

Hazel sighed, "That's true...we really need to reign in Draya though..."

"I think you need to step up with Christina..." Luanna said gesturing at the Latina who was now flirting with some of her male teammates. Luanna frowned she was sure the girl was sleeping with some of them. If she had her choice she would have booted the girl off the team. Christina Bates was toxic. Luanna knew girls like her from her days as a cheerleader herself. Christina was also super talented, she was not captain because of her personality and Hazel was simply better than her and more liked.

"Damn...I knew it..." Hazel grumbled and chuckled.

"You want that gold," Luanna shrugged. "Time for the captain to take one for the team." the couch said and gave her captain a shoulder squeeze.

Time suddenly stopped. The gym turned into a bit of a wax-work like diorama with the attractive cheer team all frozen in place as silence and stillness fell about the gym.

Hazel and Coach Garcia stood face to face, with the older woman have a hand on the younger's shoulder. Hazel held a blank stare on her face while her lips parted as if about to say something. Luanna carried a cute smirk on her lips while her eyes were shut.

Draya's tall frame was arched backwards with her arms behind her head. Her blue eyes aimlessly stared at the rafters. Baily Bush's face was contorted in a laugh as she was leaned over her knees, with Phil and Ron smiling brightly around her. Nicole was seated on the floor doing butterfly stretches, her face had a close-eyed look and looked as if she was asleep. Madison had bright smile on her face, showing off her braces as she was frozen while doing shoulder stretches. Nearby Savanah and Zoey were standing face to face time-stopped in conversation. Zoey's hands in gesturing pose while Savanah intently looked at them, her face masked with focus though her eyes were empty.

Time-stopped in a crowd of underclass cheer girls and the remaining male cheerleaders was Christina and Taylor. The curvy Latina stood with one hand on her hip while the other was running through her lush wavy tresses. Her face in a blank smile while her eyes looked at one he male cheerleaders. Taylor stood next to her, arms crossed under breasts while her focus was turned towards Christina an envious grin on her lips though her eyes were shut.

All is quiet until there was creaking from the bleachers.
