The stadium's floodlights beat down on the crisp green field, the air thrumming with the restless murmur of the crowd. The cheerleader uniform feels alien against your skin, the fabric scratchy and stiff, the weight of the pom-polls anchoring your hands. Grim mutters discontentedly beside you, his fur standing on end. The bleachers are a mosaic of reactions—shock, amusement, flushed cheeks. Malleus's gaze is a dark, disapproving slash; Lilia's smile is a flicker of impish light. You force a dry swallow. "Put on a smile!" Crowley's voice carols from the announcer's booth. How can you possibly smile when every instinct screams to run? you... what kind of trap did you walk into?
