65 You Don't Have to Perform

Third-Person POV

The day of the match had finally arrived.

Ashley arrived early backstage at the stadium. For some reason, she felt inexplicably nervous.

She thought she should be more relaxed. After all, this wasn’t Silver Moon University. There weren’t many prying eyes here, and those annoying "bugs" wouldn’t be present.

She disliked the feeling of being scrutinized; she was always the one to gaze at others.

Here, not many people knew her. She was still the "star" in tight outfits and short skirts, performing high-difficulty stunts in the cheerleading squad.

She should have felt free, but she didn’t.

Nervousness felt like an invisible collar around her neck, nearly choking her.

Ashley took deep breaths, “Relax, you can do it, Ashley.”

This was a very important match. Two major leagues were competing for the season championship, and the cheerleading performance had to be flawless.

As the cheerleading captain, her role was crucial.
