We’ve got spirit, yes we do. We’ve got spirit, how ‘bout you?
Sandi shook her poms and thrust her hip as the cheer rang through the auditorium. It bounced back as the other team’s cheerleaders repeated the taunt.
How much longer? This game is so boring. Why do we keep cheering? We lost it in the first half.
Rebellious thoughts swirled through her head as Sandi schooled her face into the mask she had perfected since freshman year. Today’s was the last basketball game of her senior year. No sentimental foolishness. She was thrilled to get on with her life.

This is a second response to Velvet Verbosity’s 100 Word Challenge. This week’s prompt is Spirit.
Echoing our cheerleaders – now, how ’bout you? Isn’t it YOUR turn to write 100 words?
I liked this! Very true to life!
Makes you wonder how many cheerleaders think this same thing during games. Good job.
I had the exact same thoughts when I was a cheerleader LOL nice piece. 🙂
I knew a cheerleader named Sandi in High School. I assure you, she had no such rebellious thoughts. She’s pretty much still exactly the same to this day, and now coaches her daughter’s cheerleading squad.
Frankly, that mentality has always been a curiosity to me…like studying someone from another world, it’s so foreign to me. Thus, I do imagine there has to be at least one cheerleader on every squad who’s just sick of it already.
