"Okay, about tomorrow, bring your extra shirt or anything you need because we will start practicing tomorrow," Dean said.

Xyrene and Ellaine already went home earlier. Dean made an announcement to those of us who will be participating in the game or cheering.

"Wear anything comfortable for all of you," he said.

"And tomorrow, you will have trainers, especially for the cheer dance, Ms. Rodriguez," Dean announced.

"Yes," I replied, raising my voice a bit.

"Good to hear, Ms. Rodriguez," Dean said before continuing with his announcements.

After that, we were dismissed, so I walked back to the room and put my bag down before joining in on the gossip with my friends.

The day ended, and I went home. As I arrived, my parents were already there. I greeted them and went upstairs to change into my comfortable clothes before coming back down to have dinner with them. We chatted and enjoyed our meal together.

-FAST FORWARD-

I woke up early and went to the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed. I wore a white crop top, gray joggers, white shoes, and a black cup and striped jacket. I grabbed my bag and headed out to join the others.

We arrived in front of the school, and I said goodbye to my brother. I walked inside and went to our room, where I placed my bag before joining in on the gossip with my friends.

We were all in the gym now, including the basketball players. I was standing next to Dark, who looked even more handsome in his jersey. He was wearing a jersey, shoes, and black pants. He looked really hot in his outfit. Well, my brother is handsome, so I wouldn't be surprised if many girls liked him.

"Is everyone here?" Dean asked.

"YES, DEAN!" we all shouted in response.

Then, a gay guy arrived. He talked to Dean while the rest of us stood in line. Suddenly, someone tapped me on the back, so I turned around.

It was my brother, holding an energy drink. I quickly moved out of line and went to his side. All the students were looking at us. He handed me the energy drink, and I smiled sweetly at him. He gave me two energy drinks, which I knew I wouldn't be able to finish.

He hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead before leaving to meet our dad at our company. I went back to my spot in line since the practice hadn't started yet. Dean and the gay guy were still talking.

"Is he your boyfriend, Ellise?" Jaydon suddenly asked, making me laugh.

"He's my brother, silly," I replied, laughing at his question. They all said, "Ah..." except for King, who let out a big sigh.

"He's my brother. He's already done with his studies and is now handling our company," I explained to them. They nodded in understanding.

They all looked at King, and he lightly punched my arm. I playfully hit his arm back.

"He's my brother, and he's already done with his studies. He's now handling our company," I said, smiling at him. He blushed, and I couldn't help but laugh.

We're cousins, and our fathers are brothers. It's been four years since they got together, and I'm always with them whenever they meet. They used to meet secretly, but when my uncle found out that my brother had a girlfriend, he formally invited him to their house along with Ate Dennis. I thought my uncle would get angry, but he didn't.

Now, they're legally together, so I'm close to my brother. He's handsome, and many girls like him. He's smart and kind. He has dreams for Ate Dennis.

-FAST FORWARD-

We quickly arrived at the dance room, and our practice began. We had a peaceful practice, as we listened carefully to our coach's instructions. We quickly learned what was being taught.

After a long day, we went home together, walking side by side. I wiped the sweat off my neck, feeling tired. As we walked through the hallway, we were the first ones to leave the gym. I saw Dark and his group leaving as well, and I walked alongside them.

"Dark... Can I borrow one of your jerseys?" I asked him. He looked surprised, and I couldn't help but smile sweetly at him.

"Yeah, sure," he said, and I smiled at him.

"Yes, thank you," I said to him.

"Okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow," he said. I nodded in response.

"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said to him before walking towards my brother and getting into his car.

We arrived at our house, and our parents were already there. I kissed them on the cheek before going upstairs to my room.

-The next day-

I woke up early and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I got dressed in a white crop top, gray joggers, white shoes, and a black cup and striped jacket. I grabbed my bag and headed out of my room, going downstairs to join my family for breakfast.

We arrived in front of the school, and my brother was already waiting in his car. He leaned against the car, with both hands in his pockets, wearing a white
