Lynn:
Okay! Here's the plan
Folding chair on the sidelines with us
You, uniform, pompoms!
We still need our captain after all
What do you think?

Courtney:
I love you for the idea
But I'm going to skip
the game tonight

Lynn:
😕 Are you sure?

Courtney:
Yeah but I know the squad
is  safe with you

Lynn:
Are you okay?

Courtney:
Yup
Just taking Coach's
advice for once 😁

Lynn:
😂 She would be so proud

Rosa:
Lynn said you aren't
coming tonight
If you don't want to be on the sidelines you can sit with my family
You know my mom brings the best snack

Your mom does bring the best snacks
And thanks but maybe next week

Courtney raised her head off her closet floor, looking to her uniform, to her ankle brace, to her crutches, and flopped back down. She held her phone, hesitating.

Lynn:
Cory is doing what's best
We'll survive and make her proud 💪

Courtney let out a relieved sigh.

Squad Goals🏅
Courtney:
I know you all will! 🥳
Dang! There really needs to be a pompom emoji 😟

Rosa:
I know right! 🙄

Kimber:
It's a disregard for a very specialized sport!
