The Squad - Part 2

" Hey Izzy, " waved a blond haired girl in  blue and white cheer leading outfit that matched Izzy's.

"Natalia, hey." Smiled Izzy. Her smile faded away though when she noticed Adriana, the captain of her rival cheer leading team the Titans, walking towards them with a smirk on her face.
"Well, this will be interesting." Natalia remarked and then noticing the puzzled looks on Lexi and Izzy's faces she added, " I'm guessing she's her to 'talk' about the championships."
"We have the international championship for cheer leading a couple of months and the Titans are our rivals." explained Izzy with a half smile.
" I know, I used to go to Summer-view," Lexi blushed.
" Summer-view? Omigosh! Really? Wow! That's-"
" The most highly ranked cheer squad in Star-wood International!" Izzy finished for her looking impressed. Lexi blushed and looked down. Unfortunately Adriana was standing close by and had over heard their conversation.
" Hi! I'm Adriana! You must be Lexi! I'm the captain of-"
" The Titans, so I've heard." Lexi replied smoothly. Adriana smiled smugly and replied proudly, " We've won three championships. You know . . . We could really use someone like you on our team. " Lexi just nodded politely, biting back giggles.
" Oh, hey Lisa!" Natalia smiled as a girl with strawberry blond hair walked up to them.
"Hey Nat, hey Izzy. Ohmigod Lexi! What are you doing here?" gushed Lisa.
Lexi smiled and pulled Lisa into a warm hug. Izzy frowned slightly as she struggled to figure out their relationship. Seeing her puzzled look Lisa explained, " Lex and I go way back. We used to got to prep together."
Izzy nodded, beginning to understand. Adriana coughed loudly, refusing to be overlooked or ignored. Lexi looked at her and then said, " Sorry, uh, but Izzy already asked me to be on her squad." It took a second for Adriana to process this information but after a second her face clouded over.
'" Oh, right." She replied darkly.
"Uh, we'll see you later Adriana. We have to go show Lex around the school." Lisa said, linking her arm through Lexi's and Izzy's, dragging them away from Adriana.

The Squad - Part 1

Isabella Rico stood at the head of the group and gazed across the campus with her sea green eyes. Her black hair was in a high pony tail and her cheer leading outfit made her look drop dead gorgeous.
"Izzy, who's that?" Mia, Izzy's best friend asked indicating to the new girl. Izzy cocked her head to one side and studied the new girl. she smiled. This girl was some serious cheerleader material.
" Hmm . . . I don't think I know her. But she'll have to join the squad. " Then, walking over to the new girl she extended her hand to her and flashed a dazzling smile and said, " HI, I'm Isabella Rico, you can call me Izzy. I'm captain of the cheer leading team. Have you had experience in cheer leading before?" The new girl look startled for a second and then smiled and shook Izzy's hand.
" I'm Lexi, and uh yeah. I used to be captain at my old school."
" You can come sit with us for lunch, come on." Izzy said. Mia frowned and then quickly pulled back her smile and said, " I'm Mia, by the way. Um I'll catch up with you and Lexi in a sec, 'kay?" Izzy nodded and walked off with Lexi. Mia turned around facing the other cheer leaders when Izzy and Lexi were out of earshot and then frowned. " Lexi looks like she'll be a good cheer leader. That means we have to pick up our game. Prove to her that we are the best of the best." Erin, Izzy's other best friend nodded and then added, " I think this Lexi chick will be a threat to us purely based on the fact that from one glance Izzy selected her." The other cheer leaders nodded and the Mia chipped in, " But that doesn't mean we'll be mean to her just, just keep your guard up. Okay?Let's go to lunch."

Silent Secrets ~ Part 3

Ruby stared at the ground for a bit and then asked, "When's your flight?"

"7:30 pm on Saturday next week." Sky replied, managing a small smile. Ruby just nodded.

A few days later Accapella was already in San Diego and Sky was boarding the plane, prepared for the 19 hour fight. 

"Promise me you'll call?" Ruby asked sadly. Sky nodded, barley containing her emotions.

How long had it been? Two hours? Sky wasn't sure but opened and eye and slowly the other.

"Would you like one love?" An air hostess asked smiling at Sky, offering her a wrapped up pink lolly.

" Yes please." She said, smiling, unwrapping the lolly and popping it in her mouth.

"We'll be landing soon love." The air hostess informed her moving down the isle and offering the other passengers a lolly. She sat up and put away the book lying on her lap.

As the plane skidded to a halt, Sky slowly stooped down and shouldered her duffle bag, and stretched. She filed out after a couple of people and shook her head, still tired and now jet-lagged.
"Sky! Mummy said to look  out for you! She says that your going to be staying with us!" Sky's little cousin Katy came running up to her, flinging herself into Sky's arms and jumping so Sky had to catch her.
"Sky darling nice to see you again!" Melody, Katy's mum came up to Sky, kissing her on both cheeks. Sky smiled, she knew she would love it in here.
" Hey Sky! Great to see you again." Gabriela, Katy's sister, smiled. Gabby was the same age as Sky and they had always been more like best friends then cousins so it would be perfect. For the first time in ages, Sky was genuinely happy.

My I Am Poem

I am creative and crazy like a monkey in the vast jungle.
I wonder how my future will turn out.
I hear the sweet singing of birds in the morning.
I see the smiles of kids at school.
I am want to see world peace.
I am creative and crazy like a monkey in the vast jungle.

I pretend that I will live forever.
I feel the lost souls around us trying to find  way back.
I touch the soft fluffy wool on the heads of my alpapacs.
I worry about ebola and poverty.
I cry for child abuse and animal cruelty.
I am creative and cray like a monkey in the vast jungle.

I understand that life isn't easy.
I say stand up for what you believe in.
I dream that I can achieve anything.
I try to be kind and helpfull.
I hope that one day fighting will cease.
I am creative an crazy like a monkey in the vast jungle.
