Another busy day, Dawn had just finished instructing the Swim Team, which was after she finished teaching new routines to the Cheerleading Squad whom had several new members in it, including Airi, Tatiana, and her lover's sister Sable. Dawn didn't know how big the squad is going to become, at the moment it still wasn't the size that she wanted. Dawn has wanted the squad to be bigger, like when her own class of seniors were in it. Dawn might just have the chance to make Carmen proud of her. Today, from what she remembers, Dawn got a letter from Sondra, as well as someone new named lucrecia. lucrecia expressed interest in joining the squad, and from what Sondra wrote to her, most of her family wanted the same thing also. If they are all able to pass, that will be more then enough to fill in the holes she has been seeing in her routines.

Dawn sat down, after going to her locker, to change out of her swimming gear into her quick uniform. She had to make it fast, drying herself off with her towel, before putting her shirt on, leaving her pants off, leaving her red panties on. She had no choice, grabbing her notebook full of the cheerleading routines, whistle, and timer, throwing the whistle and timer around her neck and headed towards the exit. Dawn doesn't remember being THIS busy last time around, then again she took up both positions now and really is hard to do everything by herself. Does she need some help? Well that will have to come after.

Dawn made it through to the gym entrance, and sat down near the mat where the Cheerleaders practices routines pretty daily, closing her eyes to get some rest for the moment. Then quietly whispered to herself, "Carmen, Jennifer, i hope you both are alright and i hope i am making you both proud." Carmen and Jennifer Chase, brought her into the fold of Cheerleading and Swim Team respectively, eventually teaching everything she had to know. When they disappeared, Dawn took up where they were doing, but before she had help from other seniors. now that she has returned, her helpers are no were to be found, so she has to do everything herself. Dawn sighed quietly and waited, knowing she could be very easily found because of her new hair style, not helping the fact that she is one of the last seniors on the campus.

Lucrecia stood on the other side of the gym doors, just out of sight of anyone inside through the panel of glass in the wooden barrier. She was shaking slightly, taking heavy breaths, trying to settle her nerves.

The young woman was not one who was particularly athletic. She'd never even considered joining a team or club like this before. Yet, in a rare moment of impulse for the girl, here she was, trying to overcome her unease and see if her impulse proved beneficial.

Seeing as her school PE kit had yet to arrive, and she wasn't sure what she was supposed to bring anyway, Lucrecia had improvised. Standing there in a white T-shirt, one that seemed to be a size too small now, and a skirt that was liable to give anyone an eyeful if she dared bend over, her attire was not helping her nerves any.

Adjusting her glasses one last time, more out of comfort than any need to see, she felt better with them there, the young woman closed her eyes for a moment, before slowly reaching out and pushing open the door, looking inside.
"H-hello?" She spotted an older girl by the mat, although she was too far away to make any real details, what with Lucrecia's glasses steaming up slightly even as she stepped inside fully, face flushed with embarrassment, "I'm h-here to see Dawn... I'm Lucrecia

Dawn turned her head to see someone open the Gym door and peek her head in before asking for her name. By the tone in her voice, she was VERY nervous, and that is probably an understatement. She can remember how nervous she was as well, during the Middle School days, she was shy, and always nervous, however things happened to her while her days on Shokushu High had more then removed that, actually replaced her nervousness with anger and strength. Maybe Dawn can settle her nerves, so i waved at the question.

"Right here! Don't be so nervous hun, come over and take a seat."

She had to wait though, there was more people she had to wait for, actually several others, the letter that told her whom it was didn't say, all it said was they all knew Sondra, whom has been one of her closes friends, as well as being one of the last seniors on campus. So by the time this new girl made her way here, she had to say it,

"Take a seat, don't be afraid i don't bite. I am Dawn, and the Captain of the Cheerleaders and Swim Teams for Shokushu High. I don't think you will know me unless you been to the Main Office, bad place to be in. Anyway uhm, we are waiting for...some other people that has to show up, don't know exactly how big though..."

(bump, still waiting for Sondra)

((Sorry for the delay, ladies. Work's been keeping me pretty busy lately.

Going to GM my other chars here and there, just to make it easier for me to keep my posts going without having to keep switching between 4 different accounts))

"Don't worry, Kat, you're going to do just fine." Sondra said in a calm, comforting tone to her good friend, giving the blue-haired girl a reassuring smiled as the two girls strolled on down the hall side-by side, Sondra's twin sister Josie and Kat's older sibling Samantha walking beside them as they swiftly made their way towards the Gymnasium for their tryouts. Sondra had practically been bouncing off the walls in sheer excitement when she heard the news that her friend Dawn was starting up the Cheer and Swim tryouts again.

It had been ages since she had a chance to put into practice any of the cheer leading techniques that her sister Ashley had taught her several years ago, and she was probably a bit rusty...but with Dawn's aide and the support of her sister and her friends Kat and Samantha...Sondra was more than confident that she would make it through just fine.

"B-but I've never done anything like this before! What if I screw up? What if Dawn thinks I'm no good?" Katrina had been a nervous wreck ever since Samantha had told her that she had signed the two of them up for cheer leading and swim tryouts. What was Sammy thinking? She was the least athletic person that she knew. There was no way she was going to be able to perform half the stunts that Samantha and their friends would be able to! How was she going to make it through the tryouts when it was doubtful that she'd even make it through thew warm-ups?

"Stop worrying, Kat," Samantha replied as she tenderly wrapped an arm around her sister's waist, gently embracing her sister as they continued their way towards the gym, "That's why the four of us are all doing this together, so that we can all be here to aide and support one another. Don't you worry your pretty little head, sweetheart, you're in good company here. We'll make sure that you get through this in one piece. And, who knows, this experience might help you break out of that thick shell of yours."

Kat replied with a quiet little sigh. They'd been trying so hard to get the her to become more friendly and out-going, but it was difficult to break free of years of insecurity and reclusiveness brought on by the constant physical and verbal abused she had gone endured at the hands of her peers prior to her arrival here at Shokushu. But she had to try to shake herself of her fears sooner or later, and perhaps joining the cheer leading and swim teams would help. At least she'd be amongst her friends, whom she knew would be there for her in times of need.

"Hey, Sondra, do you know if Sable is going to be trying out today, too?" Josephine asked, a hopeful look on her face as she spoke to her sister. There was a dreamy look in her eyes as she began to recall the night that she had met Sable at Jennifer's Summer Party. That little event had turned out to be rather more...eventful that Josie had anticipated, which was apparently thanks to the antics of Sondra and Airi. It was most certainly the most fun that Josephine had ever had at a party, and she had been to quite a few.

Sondra giggled at her sister's eagerness to get with Sable again. She didn't know a whole lot about Sable, but from what she could tell from the few experiences she's had with the frisky little sex-kitten, Kimmy's little sister was a lot like Sondra and Linnis, especially when it came to other women. That being the case, Sondra had no doubt that Sable would want to join the cheer leading squad, if only to have a chance to...'get acquainted' with a lot of sexy young ladies. "We'll see, hun. I don't doubt that she'd be wanting to try out. Whether or not she's already done so, I'm not sure. I wouldn't mind finding out, myself, to tell you the truth."

The doors to the Gym swung open once more, and in walked the four girls, dressed and ready for their tryouts. None of the girls had any 'official' cheer leading uniforms, so the quartet was forced to improvise with the clothing that they all had available.

Sondra probably stood out the most in the attire that she had chosen. The skimpy little leopard print bra top and matching skirt and wristlets set certainly left little to the imagination, the skirt least of all, especially since Sondra wasn't wearing any panties underneath. Of course, her outfit would not be complete without the obligatory matching cat ears and tail, which Sondra felt only added to the outfit's overall sexiness.

In one hand, Sondra held a brown beach bag containing all the girls' swimsuits, as well as a towel for each of them to dry off with. Her other hand held a small black cooler filled with ice and bottled water, just in case the ladies needed something cool and refreshing to drink.

Josephine wasn't dressed much differently than Sondra. Though her solid black belted skirt set was not as showy as the outfit her sexy sister had chosen to wear, it most definitely wasn't much less revealing than that of the flamboyant woman walking beside her. This was not much of a surprise, since she had borrowed the outfit from her sister's closet, which was filled with clothing that revealed more than they concealed. The two Van Ryan women were similar enough in size that they were able to share clothes without having to worry about something being too big or too small.

Josephine's bust size was about two inches bigger than Sondra's, which meant that the tops she borrowed tended to stretch out in a certain area slightly more than they would on her sister, as might be obvious with the black halter top that Josie had chosen to wear this day, and the short top seemed to expose just a bit more cleavage than it was made to. Like Sondra, Josie was not wearing any underwear to speak of; the other girls in the gym were definitely going to get quite an eyeful during today's cheer tryouts.

Samantha's chosen attire was perhaps a little less revealing than that of the twins. The lacey corset top Sam wore fit the slender young woman's figure perfectly, showing off her lithe form without exposing too much flesh. The long, frilly skirt that she wore with her top was certainly less risque than the skirts her friends Sondra and Josie had on, but it was no less sexy than the 'barely there' skirts than what was being worn by the two Van Ryan sisters, at least as far as Samantha was concerned.

Dressed in a ribbed aqua blue tank top and a sand colored linen crochet shirt, Katrina was definitely the most modestly attired of the group. The petite, ivory skinned girl was rather used to dressing in rather plain, unattractive clothing, in an almost-paranoid attempt to remain unnoticed. It wasn't until recently that Kat had gone from over-sized men's sweatshirts and baggy jeans to tank tops and long skirts, though she still insisted on wearing her white cotton underwear at all times.

Kat looked between her sister Samantha and her friends Sondra and Josephine, noting the confident way that they carried themselves, every movement full of beauty and grace as they nonchalantly strode though the open doorway. She could hear the Van Ryans giggling as the sisters talked quietly amongst themselves, apparently enjoying a few private jokes, while Samantha just smiled cheerfully, a reassuring arm around Kat's waist in an attempt to help steady the anxious girl's nerves.

Spotting a pretty raven-haired woman standing by the doorway, Kat smiled shyly as she looked up at the taller student. "Um, hello, are you here for the tryouts, too?"

(oh it's ok. work i understand completely.)

Dawn was sitting quietly with lucrecia, they were talking among themselves, just little chit chat here and there. However after awhile, she was interrupted by sounds of like a whole gang of people just running into the gym. They were mostly giggling and laughing, and she can easily make out the voice, at least two Dawn knew, it was her old friends Sondra and Josephine. Dawn stood up for the moment, "Keep sitting down lucrecia, i think i know who they are.", she stood up to let Sondra and Josephine know where she was, not like Sondra needed to know since Dawn stood out very easily because of her new hair style.

Dawn tilted her head slightly, then waved at Sondra and Josephine letting them know she was waiting. She had NO idea how exactly big the group trying out was, the only letter she got was a group a girls wanted to try out for both. Kim was off for the day, she has become her co captain on both squads, now Dawn is regretting that Kim wasn't here to help her out with this big BIG group of people. "Oh...boy this is...going to be tough." Dawn said out loud while scratching her head. She hasn't met the two other girls, but she recognized them from being on Sondra's room. She thinks they are most likely related somehow, that didn't matter though, Dawn wasn't prepared for this, not this big of a group anyway. She had to improvise...Cheerleading try-out first, then Swim Team just encase they work up a sweat which is going to be happen, she is sure.

Dawn waited for the big group to get to the mat, and then gently pointed to the mat where lucrecia was sitting on. She hasn't seen Josephine since she disappeared, she doesn't know when she got back either, recently? Got to be, she didn't see Jose when she returned herself. Oh well ask that later. "Glad to see your ok Josie, i was beginning to lose hope..." Dawn said with a smile, she was happy to see her back, she has remembered time again that she would do anything to keep what is left of her senior's class to somehow get back home. No time to wonder about that now though. Dawn reached down and gave Josie a quick kiss on her cheek, before standing in front of the big group, "Well i think i have my work cut out for me. As you are mostly aware, I am the Captain of the Cheerleaders and also the Swim Team. I would have gotten Kim to help me out as she is the Co-Captain, but she is sleeping so i don't want to wake her. I see some familiar faces here, Sondra, Josie, and several others i don't quiet recognize. However i do remember your Katrina right?" Dawn pointed to Kat. Then she pointed to Samantha, "I think your Samantha right? Please correct me if I am wrong."

"All other things aside, I believe all of you are trying for both squads correct? If you aren't please correct me so i know what to do." Dawn went ahead and picked up her check board, notebook, whistle, and time watch. She hung the whistle along with the time watch around her neck, "Alright, anyone want to introduce themselves before we start? Or should we go right to it?" This is going to be exhausting, Dawn thought to herself. She has to hope that her dreaded flash spells don't occur during these tests or she will be in no shape to finish this at all.

(bump, waiting for lucrecia and Sondra)

(( Sorry...thought Lucrecia was going to post next before I went again...))

While Sondra and Josie went on with their playful and rather risque banter, Kat walked on in silence, glancing anxiously about the oppressively large gymnasium and feeling rather small in comparison. It was only a mercy there wasn't a gym full of students here at this time. She was nervous enough about going through the try-outs without having rows of eyes staring at her the whole session. There would have been no way she could have gone through with any of it if she had to go through the routines while being watched by a room full of students...

Samantha sighed inwardly as she turned to look at her ever-timid sister, who was obviously still worried about how she was going to perform during the cheer and swim try-outs. The poor thing was always so concerned about how everyone thought of her, always afraid that they would think that she wasn't good enough...that she was beneath them, which couldn't be further from the truth. Sam only wished that she could think of something she could do to open up her sister's eyes and make her see just how loved and accepted by her fellow classmates she truly was...

Then the pretty blonde with the strange pink highlights sitting at the mat, who Samantha assumed had to be Dawn from what she had heard from the others, stood up and waved her and the others over, letting the group know that she was waiting for them to join her and the other girl. Looking over at Sondra and Josie, it was apparent that the two weren't paying much attention to anyone but each other at the moment. Gently nudging Sondra's arm, she nodded her head over in Dawn's direction, hoping that she would take the hint and start moving faster...

Hint taken, Sondra and Josephine fell silent, and the quartet began to pick up the pace a bit as they marched over to the mat and quickly took a seat on the soft pads, Sondra smiling warmly as she sat down beside the exotic raven-haired beauty that they had spotted while walking into the gym, and they all looked up intently at Dawn as she began to speak. The girls all nodded in confirmation as their names were being called out. When Dawn asked whether or not anyone wanted to introduce themselves before they all got started, Sondra looked up at her friend with a smile as she replied, "I think it would be a great idea if we all introduced ourselves before we begin. Would you like to start us off?"

Dawn smiled, it was a big group of people, honestly though she doesn't know ALL of there names. She personally knew Sondra and her sister Josephine, the other two she seen before, one was Kat Lee, the other one she believed to be Samantha. I scratched my head after hearing Sondra ask her to be introduced to the others, the only one being there with lucrecia whom i guess Sondra doesn't know. "Oh you mean Lucrecia? Oh ya I guess you haven't seen her yet have you Sondra?"

"Well ok, uh Lucrecia, these are Samantha, Kat, Josephine, and her sister Sondra. Sam, Kat, Josie, Sondra, this is Lucrecia, the uh raven beauty i think you called her right?" Dawn turns towards the quiet girl on the mat and pointed to Sondra and her group of people, "Lucrecia, these are, Samantha, Kat, Josephine, and Sondra. I think they all live together in my former dorm..."

This was a big group, she could do a lot too which is interesting, but there are a lot of people which makes it harder. "Alright alright, uh, get to know each other better, and no Sondra not in the way you think. Speaking no touchie," Dawn scratched her head and sighed quietly, she has hoped maybe she should have brought Kim along to help with this.

((Waiting for Lucrecia...))

(same here, i think you should post though, i haven't seen her in awhile.)
