Line up for the cheerleader

Chapter One

"Congratulations, Ginger!" another girl called as the crowd of teenagers thinned out in the front of the school.

Ginger Flowers was so happy. This was the most important day of her young life.

She hadn't slept a wink all last night, just thinking about what might happen today This was the big day, and everything worked out even better than in her dreams. She had made it! Out of all those girls, the coaches and older members of the team had chosen the pretty young brunette with the cute figure.

Ginger had just been picked as the only new girl on her school's cheerleading squad for this year. She couldn't wait to tell Dennis, her boyfriend, all about it. The only problem was that he was supposed to pick her up, and he was late.

Just as she was thinking about calling her parents for a ride, Dennis pulled into the parking lot in front of the school.

"I made it!" the girl squealed as she jumped into the car, wriggling right up next to the handsome young man on the bench seat. "They picked me, honey.

Ooooh, this is so awesome, Dennis! I made the cheerleading squad."

The older boy drove to the spot out by the lake, where he and Ginger had been parking whenever they could get away during this hot summer. Since he was working the night shift, their dates had been in the daylight. The trees by the lake were thick, and no one ever came down the little trail that led to their private make-out place.

As the car rolled to a stop, Ginger was already turning into her guy's arms.

She was so excited. She had made it. She was going to be a cheerleader.
