36.

Y/N

Last week was tryouts and today was literally the day we found out who made the team. I've never seen so many black girls at the school til dance team tryouts. I was in class talking to a girl named Ashley who also tried out for the team. "I'm kind of nervous" she expressed. "Don't be I'm sure you made the team" I said with a smile as the bell rung and we all started making our way to the gym for the pep rally.

I was nervous my damn self and that was due to my coach not being abled to judge we literally had actual judges to see if we made the team or not. "Y/N" I heard as I turned seeing Olivia. She just ran up to me excited. "Are you excited?!" She asked excitedly. "Um Im pretty nervous" I said as we sat down on the bleachers in the gym. "You know you made it already so why are you nervous?" We heard as we seen Layla walking past us.

"Just ignore her" Olivia simply said shaking her head. Olivia then smiled big at me. "You look cute" she said referring to my outfit and hair

"Uh no I definitely just threw this on and kept it moving" I said making her laugh as she looked in another direction. "Well Spencer sure has his eye on you" she said as I turned my head and he flashed me a smile before going back to talking to rest of the football players.

"What's going on with you two?" Olivia asked with a smirk "nothing we're just friends" I assured as the pep rally started.

They were talking about the football players victories this season along with introducing the players of the new basketball season. I then seen Coach Nala come out into the middle of the court with a mic as The erupted into huge screams and I felt Olivia nudge my arm some along with clapping.

"First I would like to thank Beverly Hills high schools faculty, staff and students for even making this possible" she thanked and continued.

"As you guys know we had tryouts last week for the new dance team coming to Beverly Hills and it was over a hundred girls that tried out. All of you ladies did a beautiful job but as you guys know there's only twenty slots available for the team" she explained.

"Every girl was recorded so you can see exactly who is apart Beverly's first Ever Dance team!" She hyped as all the students cheered. The lights went low in the gym as a projector was on the wall and the first girls try out video to appear was Ashley's.

I immediately smiled at her as she smiled big, as we heard Coach Nala speak. "Ashley would you please come out onto the floor" Coach Nala asked as everyone clapped and cheered.

"I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT!" I yelled as Ashley laughed heading onto the floor. She did the same for the next eighteen girls then went onto the next girl which was the last position. "I want to save this girl for last all of my ladies are special but this one I had to fight tooth and nails with" she started off as there was a small laugh that went throughout the gym.

"She's special because if it wasn't for her talent none of this, none these girls and none of the finding for this to work would be here" she expressed as Olivia smiled at me. "She wasn't at first going to try out because she just wanted to get by unnoticed but there's a light when it comes to leaders and no matter when you try to dim that light it can never be dimmed" She explained.

"leadership is the ability to get extraordinary achievement from ordinary people" she started off. "With that being said this is her try out video" she introduced as I appeared on the projector. I was sharing my name, grade and try out number before the music to the routine begun.

People started yelling as Olivia and everyone else looked at the video and I just covered my mouth with my jacket. I felt my phone vibrate as I seen Storm text me.

Stormy: Where I'm at they're loving it! You look so good!!❤️

Me: thank you over here they're

screaming too it's honestly making me nervous.

Stormy: ❤️don't be you did so good and I'm proud of you.

She texted as I just smiled at the text as my tryout video ended and the gym erupted into screams and cheers. "Y/N Y/L/N please come out onto the floor" Coach Nala announced as everyone continued to scream and applaud. "THATS MY COUSIN!" I heard Jordan yell as I started walking onto the floor. The football team then started stomping their feet on the bleachers making the crowd scream louder.

My coach hugged me as I hugged her back then stood next to the rest of the girls as they hyped me up too. I was so nervous and Honestly right now I just wanted some waffle fries from Chick-fil-A. "THATS WHAT IM TALKING BOUT!" I heard Spencer yell as I looked at him as he was clapping and we shared a laugh.

"Beverly Hills High give a warm welcome to your first ever dance team!" Coach Nala introduced as the stadium went into an uproar.  I smiled at uncle billy as he gave me a thumbs up before continuing to clap with everyone else.

I congratulated all the girls and honestly every last one of them were cool and I couldn't wait to get to know them better.

We all headed outside as people was talking to each other I then felt someone jump onto me as I realized it was Storm.

I just laughed as she was too excited. "I'm going to join next year" she said as I just smiled . "And I'll be at every game" I assured as she smiled. "I'm so proud of you, McDonald's on me" she said while hugging me as I just laughed. we walked out hugging. "New York" I heard as I turned around seeing Spencer.

"Congrats" he said walking up to me as I smiled "thanks" I thanked. "What you doing later?" He questioned. "Nothing" I admitted "you want to go bowling with Jordan, Coop, Patience and I?" He asked "yeah just let me know the time and I'll be there" I assured as he smiled "okay". "Can I go?" Storm questioned. "Now do I ask to go with your friends?" I asked her as Spencer chuckled "I don't mind but that's up to your sister" Spencer said as he looked at me and Storm looked at me also.

"Don't you got friends?" I asked "they're not going bowling tonight" she brought up as I just sighed "okay Storm" I simply said as we said goodbye to Spencer.
