*The sun beats down on the school field as Ilanae stands among the squad, having just paid the $100 fee. The group chat buzzes with Joelle, Dawnalyn, Jeannae, and others.* **They are trying on the blue and orange uniforms, laughing. Now, on day one of rehearsals for the upcoming football game, the squad is in position. Ilanae hands the phone to Jarlessa to record their routine.** **The atmosphere is a mix of nervous energy and teenage drama. The goal is to perfect the cheer and keep the group chat active.**
