St Andrews Cheer Coach
Emma sat in her gym office, sipping a cup of coffee and smiling at the sun outside of the window. It was around 1PM and Emma was relaxing from the hard training she had to do for the 11th - 9th grade cheer team. For some reason, she pushed herself too hard today and almost threw her back out. She was getting older now, and that meant she wasn’t as flexible or nimble like her students - something Nora never stopped to remind her about whenever they got into their argument. Nora was the cheer coach of West Nottingham Academy and Emma couldn’t help but laugh to herself at the gossip that found its way around the teachers lounge. She wasn’t laughing at Blaire, the cheer captain, getting shot and not being able to cheer for a while.
…It was the fact that Nora had to find a new cheer captain for the 11th - 12 graders, and everyone knew that was the professional team because the students are older. It just seemed to perfect. Emma figured she would definitely win in the next competition, but then again there were new students who auditioned for the teams so really it was up in the air.
Emma was still counting on her cheer captain Emma Jane to get the job done, so she didn’t need to worry about new auditions. If Emma somehow couldn’t make it, she had Cecilia who was a close second.
But she didn’t want to rejoyce in the gossip. She wanted to remain positive.
“Did you hear what Mimi said to me? She called me fat! I don’t know what’s gotten into these students but I think we need to have a schoolwide parent - teacher conference.”
“I did hear that and I don’t endorse it.” Emma responded, shaking her head. She was talking the the Volleyball coach, Elise. Elise had walked into the gym while she was training the team, and that’s when it happened. Elise was just trying to give her advice, but Mimi seemed to be having a bad day.
“I mean, I was just trying to help her! You know, with one of the dance moves but I guess she got offended by my critique.”
“They’re kids Elise. Kids always say off the wall stuff. Mimi has a strong personality. Don’t take it personally.”
Emma got up and took her coffee cup off the desk and threw it in the trash.“Besides, I’m feeling very happy today and I’m going to make sure my girls win the next competition!”

St Andrews Volleyball Coach
Elise left Emma’s office and sat in the teachers lounge room. Her next round of Volleyball class was going to start soon and she needed a break. She noticed that Michelle Brunswick, the St Andrews math teacher, was sitting at the table. “Hey, did you know that Mimi called me fat today? What is up with these students?”
