Two months before, a poor and average Sarah McMillian, with poorly cut brown hair, acne, braces, and baggy hand me downs sat in a 4 room house waiting for what she hoped would be the answer to her prayers. The cheerleaders were coming over, it took a lot of lies and some payment but it was happening!! Now the rest would have to pay off.
She had been promised by a strange old witch named Holloway that she would make her the greatest of the cheerleaders, the most popular and powerful girl in school, rich, beautiful and with all the best qualities of the girls she looked up to.
One by one they arrived.
Amber, who was known for being kind and loving, cheerful, she made people feel loved and special and had a way of speaking which made you feel like you were the most important person in the world.
Melissa, who was the trendsetter of the group. She had an insane amount of knowledge about how to be cool, how to dress cool, how to act cool, who cool things to like. She spent her summers in New York and brought that knowledge with her.
Tiffany, who while being the school slut, at least in rep, was not that without reason, Tiffany was sexy, not just in her natural beauty but in knowing how to use it. She had the smolder down to an art, and could flirt her way out of anything. There was rumor that she was quite the handful in the bedroom too, but that was all rumor, which she of course denied while using it to her advantage. Of all the girls Sarah looked up to Tiffany the most.
Jessica, was the most naturally beautiful of the group, from a humble home, but because she was so beautiful she was not just a cheerleader but also a beauty queen. She was only on the team because of the addition it made to her resume for pageants, but she was a welcome addition. Her face was enough of a draw to make the crowds come.
Finally there was Hannah, who was the richest and meanest girl in town, but with her money came power, respect, and a certain amount of beauty too. She was completely manufactured, but that didn't matter, she knew how to defend herself in how she wielded her power. She controlled the whole group with her power in the same way that her family controlled the state.
In a quirk of fate, the odd girl of the team also came with, hearing of the event despite being purposely not invited. Gladys was a pretty girl, but she had a habit of saying the wrong thing, of being awkward at the wrong moment. She was funny, but not in the right way for being a cheerleader, she may have done a good job of looking the part, she was in the best shape of the group, and tried the hardest at the cheers and athletic parts of being a cheerleader, the only one to be able to boast a six pack of abs, but that was just an example of the problem. Six packs weren't cheerleader material, they went past being sexy and went in your face to being aggressive and unfeminine. It was this that would be Sarah's undoing.
A spell was cast, as each girl entered the room, they found themselves turned to myst and then sucked into a bottle, where they congealed into a different color liquids. There was no time to protest, but the sounds they made were evidence that the process was not painless. There was also, sadly for them, no time to fight back, as the enchantment was placed on the door, each left with the impression that they were the first to arrive. Finally when the girls had all arrived a six pack of the Essence of Cheerleader sat before Sarah, bottled and ready for drinking, pulsing with an odd glow. It was all that remained of the cheerleading squad.
