As I mentioned, I’d heard of Kel before even entering the new school. The reputation which precedes her was that she’s a stereotypical petty queen bee on a power trip, but it was quickly proven to be something quite a bit more troubling.
I will start by giving a very brief explanation of both the dynamics as well as some things that have happened in the school cheer team, which are subjects that would allow for much more details. Those details will be provided as they become relevant, but for now they will be glossed over.
In the team we had an unspoken rule: "We all should agree with our choreo, group activities as well as any extra meetings and training sessions no matter how last minute they are and even if we don't, we do." Because all of the choreo and schedules were made by the team leader, Kel, and her boyfriend.
We were expected to never question them.
The thing is though, although the entire team is highly respected in our school and we all seem very close, if you take a look behind the scenes... It's like everyone is waiting for someone to break character.
It might sound dramatic to say that we were almost like puppets for Kel to play with, but her "leadership" goes above and beyond just cheer practice.
It’s important to note none of her or the team’s behavior has anything to do with cheerleading at all. She could lead a football team or a chess club and it wouldn’t make a difference.
