Aimee Campbell's Links
As you might've guessed it, Rochelle and I were fellow cheerleaders under Amber's tyrannical rule. Rochelle was practically the best flyer on the squad despite dealing with asthma, and I was often her support with two other girls. Rochelle had the best form and the brightest smile of any cheerleader I've seen...to think such terrible things could happen to her like her father's untimely death. I took time away from cheerleading to help her through such a difficult time in her life. After Amber got expelled and Rochelle was named captain, she passed the title to me. I understood that she had shifted her focus onto something else as cheerleading brought her so much stress given what happened.
Rochelle and I still keep in touch even though we live in different cities. We sometimes get together for lunch. :)
Aimee is one of my most trusted friends throughout high school. We were both on the cheerleading squad, but we had the misfortune of being led by Amber, who was our extremely mean and bitchy cheer captain; seriously, the ‘mean cheer captain’ trope has been played out so many times. 🙄 However, there were no redeeming qualities that Amber could rest on. She was just rotten to the core.
Anyway, Aimee has been my biggest supporter ever since I lost my dad. She’d call me every day I was absent from school and bring my homework so I wouldn’t fall behind, sometimes staying with me to help me out. After the huge fight between me and Amber, though…even when I was named cheer captain after Amber’s expulsion from school, I passed the title to Aimee, who was more than deserving after everything she did for me. I really wanted to focus on my art at the time, but I still went to the football games to support her until graduation.
We’re still really great friends to this day. ☺️
