Rebel Cheer Squad: A Get Even Series

This is all my fault.

Clara! Whoa.

Don't forget you're supposed to catch the real athlete

and not just make yourself look good.

Oh.

I can't do this.

May, try that basket toss again.

Rumi, email me the footage so I can look over it later.

- Coach Harris, I'm sorry, I can't. - May, you've done this a thousand times.

Well, that was before. Something happened.

You know we're your teammates.

- You can talk to us. - I don't want to talk about it!

But I'm leaving.

As in quitting the team?

The team, Bannerman, all of it! I just...

I can't be here anymore!

- - May!

I know you don't want to talk, so what if I talk?

I could try and guess what's wrong,

and you can nod or shake your head.

Sorry, I need to get this.

Mom, it has to be today.

I can't wait anymore!

It happened again.

Ah, Clara, Leila,

team meeting after school. Spread the word.

I mean, does being your daughter

automatically make us your personal messengers?

Uh, yeah, I think it does. In fact, you're contractually obliged so...

I have a thing with Reece, so if you've got this...

- Is that thing sucking face all day? - Mm, maybe.

I'll do it. Just don't get cold sores.

Oh, do you get cold sores from face-sucking?

Yes, seriously, Leila, read a book!

I just don't know what it says about me.

What do you want it to say about you?

That I'm school president material?

I care about things

and stuff.

I'm very driven

and I'm driving towards...

- Rumi, what am I driving towards? - I...

So, I sort of, heat of the moment, threw my phone into May's bag.

She answered this call from her mom,

and I thought if I recorded what she was saying,

I could find out what was going on with her.

Clara!

You're lucky you have other skills, because you never think things through.

Now I need my phone back because what if someone phones?

You could ask her?

I just... I always thought I'd die of embarrassment.

I just didn't think it'd be today.

It won't be.

I know what we do.

Clara, I'll loan you my phone.

Then we wait

because eventually everyone needs to pee.

I should've eaten first.

I didn't think it'd take all lunch.

Me neither.

Now I need to pee.

It'll be easier if May's on her own, so we need a distraction.

Hi, um, I'm running for school president. Can you answer some questions?

No point asking me. I'm out of here by the end of the day.

But you two need to stay.

I need honest feedback.

Well, my brutal honesty is one of the things everyone loves about me.

Okay? Question one of 20.

Rumi, you wait in the bathroom until you get the signal it's May.

Then you act.

I'm sorry. Sorry. It's not pee, I promise. It's just water!

That's when Clara's up.

What do you think a school president should be driving towards?

It was my fault.

May! I'm so glad you're here!

This is really tight and hard.

I know.

Anyway, got to go.

Because I've always wanted to go to Oxford or Cambridge,

but what's my endgame?

- Seriously, what's my endgame? -

Okay, thanks for everything. Bye.

- - Okay, I think I hear the words.

You can get programs that clean up the audio. I'll try it home after ballet.

Okay, I know you're all thrown by May leaving.

I want to do something to, uh, get your spirits up.

So I want you to tell me what everyone has been saying about us.

Ooh, I feel like that could be a bit of a downer.

- - No, Sam, trust me. I know what I'm doing.

In fact, you know what?

I'll start.

People are saying that we are only here to wave pompoms.

Okay, I'll play.

People say cheer isn't a proper sport.

That we're not real athletes.

Boo.

And we don't stand a chance at the regional championship.

What else?

That you're only coaching us to feel better because your wife left?

Congrats, Viola.

The award for Most Insensitive Human goes to you!

He asked.

No, Viola's right.

I did ask, because here's the thing.

We are performing at the Bannerman Open Day on Friday.

Clara, what will we be showing everyone?

- That cheer is a proper sport. - Yes.

- That we're real athletes. -

- Brooke. - That we do stand a chance at Regionals.

- - Yes!

And we're not just here to wave pompoms.

Yes!

Is Grace right?

Yes!

- Is she right? -

Good.

Remember that.

Okay, one final thing.

Safest and easiest option would be to pull the main pyramid on Friday,

but that's not who we are.

So we're going to need a new point flyer.

- It has to be you, right? - My money's on...

- Leila. - Yes.

There it is.

Ouch! That's got to sting.

I'll just hide her hairbrush later. Sends her crazy!

All right, that's it, everyone. Thanks. Until tomorrow.

- About that thing Viola said about Mom. - Clara,

you know we don't have to talk about it.

Okay, great, 'cause that would've been really awkward.

But you're okay, though, right?

I'm good.

Okay.

Rumi, what are you doing and can you stop right away?

Oh, it's, um, just homework.

This is more important. Trust me.

You know, both your faces are terrifying right now.

I was trying for casual. Did I fail?

Our faces don't matter.

Look what came in the post today from the Royal School of Ballet.

I'm through to the final round of auditions.

- Ooh! - I'm not surprised. I expected it.

Maybe there you might finally meet someone you like.

Maybe. One thing's for sure. There are no cute girls at Bannerman.

She's new, right?

Yeah, just got in on music scholarships.

I hate it when the universe messes with me.

Uh, Miles, you seriously think I need to worry about Bella Stevens

running against me?

The girl with the terrifying K-pop obsession?

I do, because here's the thing, Grace. Everybody loves K-pop, including me.

Name one K-pop band.

I may have forgotten the actual names of the many K-pop bands I love

- because, uh... - Because?

All right, I lied. I'm winding you up.

Bella Stevens doesn't stand a chance against you.

You know you need a new hobby.

No, I'm pretty sure no hobby would be as fun as winding you up.

I can't be bothered to actually roll my eyes,

so just imagine that I'm doing that.

- What time's your speech? - Second period?

Oh, cool, enough time to check out the audio from yesterday.

The note said I'm so acne-ridden,

I should wear a bag over my head.

Maybe if there hadn't been so many others,

and it's this constant fear

and I'm scared to open my locker.

Okay, so this is actually good.
