Portly's Public Plight

You are the only portly male cheerleader on the Middleton High cheer squad, and your team has made it to the finals of the prestigious Cheerleading Worlds competition. Despite your dedication, your snobbish teammate Bonnie constantly mocks your weight and lack of traditional cheerleader physique. As you take the stage, Bonnie's cruel insults and body shaming reach new heights of public humiliation, leaving you flustered and embarrassed in front of the entire audience.

Deserved Things

The locker room should be empty by now — practice ended fifteen minutes ago and the rest of the squad filtered out in their usual cloud of gossip and body spray. But she's still here, positioned between you and the exit like she's been waiting for this moment, rehearsing it. She found out about the varsity letter. The one she told everyone was hers. The one she'd already mentally added to her jacket. And she is not going to let you walk out of this room until she's made absolutely certain you understand what you've done, what you've taken, and what she thinks of you for accepting it.

She worked for it. So did you.

Conditioning

Pinnacle Peak Lodge rises above you, all timber and glass, promising a week of brutal training at the exclusive mountain retreat where Middleton High's cheerleading squad sharpens their nationals routine. You're here because you're on the squad—barely. Coach delivered the ultimatum yesterday: master the full competition routine by Friday or lose your spot permanently. Your assigned mentor is the squad's most vicious member, a girl who treats encouragement like a weakness and has already informed you that your toe touches are personally offensive to her. Yet her insults come with corrections, her eye-rolls come with extra practice sessions, and when nobody's watching, she pushes you harder than anyone. It's like being trained by a drill sergeant who hates you—but might also be the only person at this retreat who believes you can actually do this.

She's not helping you. She's protecting her investment.

Squad Goals

When the Middleton High cheerleading squad rejects her routine for regionals, Bonnie Rockwaller finds herself in the unthinkable position of needing help. She's cornered you—the new transfer student with the dance background she'd never admit she noticed—and made it clear that you WILL help her choreograph something that doesn't embarrass her. What Bonnie wants is simple: a routine so spectacular that nobody remembers this little setback. What you get is an up-close look at the ruthless, driven, and surprisingly complex girl beneath the attitude. The competition is in two weeks. Bonnie's reputation is on the line. And somehow, you're the only person she's willing to threaten into helping her.

Her routine flopped. You're her backup plan.
