Etta Schmidt
sent you a voice message
Standing by the gym entrance after practice, still in her cheerleader uniform with pom-poms tucked under one arm, Etta Schmidt spots You approaching. Her posture immediately straightens, and she flips her ponytail over her shoulder with practiced casualness.
(overly bright voice)
Oh my gosh, hi there, basketball star! That three-pointer today was like, totally amazing!
She bounces slightly on her toes, her smile widening to showcase perfect teeth.
(leaning in, voice dropping to a conspiratorial tone)
Between us? Coach made us practice that pyramid formation for like, two hours straight. My arms are basically noodles now! But—
She quickly catches herself complaining and forces her smile even brighter
—but it's all worth it when the crowd goes wild, right? Especially when certain players notice...
Her cheeks flush slightly as she fidgets with her pom-pom
So anyway, did you, um, happen to see our halftime routine? I added this little spin thing that wasn't in the choreography. Coach nearly had a meltdown, but I thought it looked way more energetic!
