( 2013 Summer: Cheerleading UCA Camp)
So I used this picture for a reference. Like when I hear a story I have to have faces. I was on the cheerleading team my entire high school career. So much drama, fights, fun, sadness, and laughter occurred those four years. I'm pictured to the far left. This story is about me and the girls on the right of me. Kameryn and Domininque. Me and Dom were friends since 6th grade and I still don't know if I spelled her name right. So if you are reading this, so so sorry. I'm too lazy to shoot you a text and ask the proper spelling. Anyway, Kam and Dom were my bestfriends. You couldn't really tell us nothing. We really (well I did anyway) thought we were God's gift to Earth. We got into ALOT. Like so much it was ridiculous. I could write a book about our mishaps, but it would be very embarrassing and long. So here's a throwback to when a put massive hole in our hotel wall during an away game.
I believe it was the fall of 2013. I really can't forget anything from that year because that's when Hurricane Gustav hit. I was extremely miserable this year because my house flooded and I took this crappy advanced math class and made the first D of my life. I wish I could tell old me, this was mediocre stress compared to what was coming in the future. Anyway, our football team was on a ROLL. We were seriously racking up the W's. So we were in the finals and our next opponent was some school in Bossier, La. The cheerleaders were so excited because we got to go and spend the night there. Then, everyone was jealous of us too because we were the only auxiliary team allowed to go. Technically we were the only team that was an extension of the football team. So I think I was 17, and my complex about myself was up there. I dating this really popular boy on and off and "thought" I was a trending topic. At least 4 football players liked me, so I'm like okurrrr time to be a hotgirl. I just wanted to be seen honestly. Me, Dom, and Kam were already planning a kickbak in our hotel room prior to our arrival.Â
We stopped at Golden Corral in Shreveport and took a rest break. All of the black junior cheerleaders sat at one table and then some of our football friends joined us. Now I going to the buffet for probably my fifth roll, and I notice Korey( that is what we will call him). He was really cute, but not my type. I had a dumb obsession with lightskin boys at the time sorry, I've practically grown out of that now. He was short, and kind of had what I called cheewees(beginner dreads.) I think I smiled at him, and he smiled back. So I'm rushing back to the table asking my friend who is he? She tells me he is a senior and kind of shy. By the end of this rest break I had made sure I walked past him at least 3 times. I wanted him to know I was interested and fine. Duh. Told yall I liked to be seen. We got back on the bus and my homeboy Shad had laced me with his number. Then we began texting, and exchanging nerdy grins with one another. We might have even sat with each other on the ride back.Â
Anyway, fastforward to a day into the trip. I don't remember whether we won that game, but I'm almost sure of it. My cheerleading coach had to come to our rooms multiple times and tell us quiet down because we were def turnt. She had to separate the girls and guys from mingling because somebody parent had made an anonymous tip. Did that stop us though, no! So we send a group message to the cool cheerleaders and football players saying we having a kickback, bring snacks etc. I hit my friend up Shad telling him make sure Cory comes because I really want to see him. I knew me telling him wouldn't work because he was sooooo timid. Two hours later we jammed packed in this little raggedy hotel room. All the cheerleaders are bucked. I know I was. The football players were en route to our room. Like I felt so cool. So i put on some bounce music and we start shaking. Now if you know me you know that is not my gift, yet I was here for a good time not a long time you know. So our friend Devanna used to be rolling! And I used to be so jealous cause my lah booty would not move okay! So my friend gets on head and start shaking over the headboard of the bed. I'm like monkey see, monkey do! I join her. Our friends are bucking us up, then there's a knock on the door. The football players. As I'm trying to hurry up and get down, I hear a caving in sound. Then boom. There is a massive hole in the wall. Everybody in the room gets really quiet an big eyed. I'm off the bed by now, and the boys have just walked in.  He’s smirking at me. I’m just really uncomfortable, because we tryna figure out about this hole. Long story short the rest of the night I’m guilty and wasn’t really able to enjoy myself. And dude was really feeling me, (spoiler we did end up going to a dance together.) But that night I wasn’t really feeling it. Everybody getting play and I’m in the corner being dramatic and wondering how Ima pull this off. Got a FINE dude in my face but no, I wana be Ms. Twerksome and put a hole in the wall!Â
On the bus ride home, people are cracking jokes about the joke and I’m like are you serious ? Are y’all tryna get me off the team? I mean okay yes it was still questionable who put the hole in the wall. But as soon as my chubby butt got up there, that’s when the wall caved in. It’s three weeks later, me and my friends clowning in last period. So the principal calls me and my friends to the office. She’s like hey girls , I’m not going to keep y’all long... but the hotel called us from the trip. I looked like I saw Jesus. Dom nudged me. I start stuttering cause I’m so scared. The principal goes on to say that they discovered a big hole in the wall and were trying to bill the school for it. Girl I’m sweating. So I’m like no omg why would they say that. So she was like oh okay it was a raggedy hotel anyway so there’s no telling. My friends smiling but I’m still shook af. Moral of the story ... don’t try to be hot and impress ppl because you might buss a hole in a hotel room wall.
