Becoming the captain of the cheerleaders is a significant accomplishment when you’re in Grade Eight, about to conclude your school journey with a sense of glory. At least, that’s what I had expected. The process of counting the votes only took about five minutes, but for me, it felt like an hour and a half. As Coach Williams prepared to announce, I inched to the edge of my seat ready to spring to my feet as soon as she said my name.
“Girls,” she began, “Laura Shaw has been elected Captain of the Maplewood High School cheerleading team.” A great cheer was heard throughout the gym, but all I could do was to contain my hysteria (歇斯底里). How could this be? Was everyone blind? Didn’t they realize I had my heart set on this?
As everyone cheered for Laura, I didn’t move a step toward her. It felt like she had stolen my moment and my dream. After a few minutes, I walked over to Laura with shaky legs and softly said, “Good luck, Laura.” in a whisper that barely masked my urge to cry.
Laura hugged me close and said,“I wasn’t expecting this, Annie. What a shock.”I didn’t lash out at (痛斥) her but in my heart I wanted to do just that. Who was she to claim the title I had worked three years to earn?
All the way home, I sobbed. There was no way I was going to stay on a team so blind they couldn’t see who should be the captain. The next morning, however, I went to my closet and took out my uniform. Once holding it close to me in my hands, I knew I couldn’t quit. As heartbroken as I was, my true love was cheering with my teammates.
How very hard it was to go to that first practice after Laura had been named captain. When I arrived, Coach Williams asked me to take three of the new girls and work with them on our basic drills. Laura was assigned three new girls as well.
Just then Laura suggested all eight girls working together, and though I hesitated, I eventually agreed.

At the award ceremony, Laura won her captain’s award, and then came the final “Cheerleading Spirit Award”.
