Letizia Marciano, Vanessa Canavarro, Vienna Rosario , Daniella Pirelli, Dona-Marie Pirelli, Diana Pirelli and Clarisa O'Neil were standing side by side at one side of the basketball court facing their opponents. The star packed boys team.

The boys were also ready to fight standing determined at the other side. Alexander Rosario, Viggo and Vincenzo Rosario, Tristan and Trent O'Neil, Sebastiano Giovanni and Cain Rosario were looking at Stefano rosario with stony faces waiting for him to blow the whistle and let them get on with it. He was taking his time explaining the rules and that earned some objections from the boys.

Tristan spoke "Save it Stefano. I think we all know how to play basketball."

Trent laughed "Sure brother. We all know how its done. But the girls may not. Anybody gets into their team these days. Let Stefano help them out."

Stefano sighed " Listen up people. Don't forget once the time is up, it's over. This is not a real basketball game. We don't have time. Hardly 5 minutes. We have to get back to the event. Remember this game is just for fun..."

Vanessa spoke " Speak for yourself."

Stefano spoke " Of course, it's about winning honour and respect. I forgot."

Seconds later the games started. It was pretty fast for the boys. They earned a lead quickly with Tristan and Vincenzo scoring. The passing shots by Alexander and Trent helped too.

Stefano shouted " Half time."

The girls formed a circle at one side and boys at the other side.

Letizia spoke " I need us to play riskier."

Clarisa nodded "We need to even it out by any means and I mean by any means."

Vienna spoke " I agree. A loss is a loss and we must avoid it especially it looks bad if we lose when we have earned no points. We won't hear the end of it from the boys."

Vanessa spoke " So let's play harder. I suggest we try to get rid of Viggo."

Letizia nodded " Which one? Oh him. Their play maker?"

Vanessa nodded " He is the heart of the team. Block him somehow Letizia."

Dona Marie spoke " Sure. Also. He is nice because he is playing with girls. He is holding back here. Try to block him and he won't do anything."

Diana spoke " Sure. But also get Letizia and Vanessa the ball and hope they score.

Daniella spoke " Vienna, I think you should just defend. Sebastiano doesn't like attacking you and you know it. Try to block him instead of trying to score since Vincenzo gets the ball of you every time to prove a point."

Vienna nodded " What do we do with Alexander. He is quite tricky."

Clarisa spoke " I would fix him. I will distract him."

The girls then put their hands in the middle and Vanessa shouted " Who are we?"

The others shouted back " The elegant, the classy, the intelligent."

Vanessa shouted " What do we do?"

The other shouted " We go get them."

Vanessa spoke " Let's go, get them ladies. We can do it."

The girls lined up in their positions and boys also took their place.

What happened next shocked the girls. They were ready but so were the boys. They had readjusted their strategy and had made changes to how they played. They managed to score again and the game got too intense. There were fouls happening especially after Letizia managed to score from the middle if the field. Vanessa managed to score too. That was it. The game was closing just when the girls managed to get a reasonable score.

Suddenly Stefani shouted " Foul. A penalty for the girls."

The boys were looking at him with narrowed eyes " Back off man."

Stefano spoke " Enough arguments or I am docking points."

Alexander laughed " You really are going to get it Stefano. Wait till Monday. If you get extra laps from the captain, don't complain."

Stefano rolled his eyes. Tristan and Vincenzo were both captains. They took turns in each day. One day Vincenzo was captain and Tristan was vice captain and the other day their positions were reversed. The Monday that was coming up, was Vincenzo's turn to be captain. He was lucky. Since he was a Rosario, Vincenzo and Tristan never demanded cold showers from him and gave him just extra laps. But any one on the team who wasn't part of their group of eight high fliers whom were present on that very basketball court, had it tougher with the sadistic team captains that even the coach couldn't control.

The boys scattered as they murmured insults and threats at Stefano.

Letizia took the penalty and she scored. The score was 14-16 now. But boys were winning. Boys were shocked. They knew they had witnessed something special from the girls. Letizia was a great play maker. They had to watch their backs from now on.

Seconds later, Stefano blew the whistle. "Time is up." He shouted.

The girls were gutted looking at the boys celebrating.

Stefano blew the whistle and instructed "Now. Listen up. Since the boys won they get to have the girls as their cheer leaders for all of the home and away games. So the girls have to join the cheer leading squad which is struggling with recruits at the moment and it helps the boys basketball team that the cheer leaders hardly ever visit. This lasts for the rest of the academic year."

Tristan shouted " What the hell Stefano? You couldn't come up with something much more serious. What is this?"

Vincenzo spoke " Back off man. We just wanted to teach these girls a lesson so they don't think they ever got a chance to mess with us. They learnt their lesson and we should be satisfied."

Trent laughed " That's way too easy Stefano. What is wrong with you?"

Stefano spoke " Nothing is wrong with me. Look over at that cabin and think, man. Who is there? Oh. I remember. Our fathers. We can't have any funny business going on. Do you really want to be the one your father takes out his wrath on if an alliance is ruined. I doubt it. I am the referee. I make the rules. If you can't respect my rules then off you go people or better yet, I am off and good luck finding someone the girls agree on to be the referee the next time you play. Any objections .... I didn't think so."

The boys were about to object more but a few guards showed up and delivered the massage that the boys must present themselves back at the cabin where their fathers were.

The boys complied of course but not before shouting at the girls that they would hear from them later in the day.

Vienna sighed " And if their egos wasn't big enough. We will beat them one day. Let's go get some drinks and we can go for a walk around the lake."

The girls nodded and all followed Vienna to the drinks table. As they took away their drinks, they started walking towards the lake side and the tree houses.

Letizia questioned " What is the big deal about the cheer leading prize. Why do you look so down? Clarisa and I are cheer leaders. It's not so bad."

Clarisa spoke " Ha. You don't know what cheer leading means in our school. When you attend the game as cheer leader you are at the team's disposal for alot of things. If any of the players of the team you are supporting demands it, you have to sit with them for lunch. If they demand it, you must change your routines for the team. They can even attend your practice and tell you what they like and don't like while you are committed. You must attend their parties too...."

Letizia gasped "Why? Where do these rules come from?"

Vienna shrugged "These rules mean that the cheer leaders are part of the team they support. Simple. If Clarisa commits the cheer leading squad that she is leading to commit to supporting the basketball team that means, her cheer leaders are part of the team. What the basketball team captain says goes."

Vanessa nodded "Until now, the cheer leaders refused to commit to supporting the boy's teams. They just support girl squads and the only all boy's team that gets cheer leaders is the volleyball team."

Letizia spoke "What is special about them?"
