Talking

“We actually have a problem,” Megan said. “And it has to do with you always changing without the squad. You should know by now that we do everything together. We cheer as a squad, we talk as a squad, and we definitely change as a squad. But every time you change out early. This can’t go on, Alexa. You need to start changing with the squad.”

“I’m just a bit shy,” Alexa said. “I don’t know why I need to be naked for all of you to accept me.”

Megan rolled her eyes. “There’s an expectation for you to show off your body. If you can’t even change out in the locker room with everyone else, then how can we expect you to represent the squad?”

“Um…” Alexa said. “Is there a point to this?”

“I want you to practice changing out. Come on, Lexi. We're all girls here. Surely you can take your clothes off,” Megan said.

“You want me to what?!” Alexa said.

The girls circled around Alexa. Michelle wasn’t sure what to do as Alexa gulped. “We want you to take your clothes off.”
