CringeFest 2019: The Chaos

Campana I

Monday.

"Yo," greets Sandee. "You're cramming maths again?"

"Nah, just calculating things— eh, whatever," Ann answers.

That is doing maths.

"SportsFest House Launch today, right?"

"Yep. I got sort of outta sorts with a buddy of yours, I may have started a bet with her. It's a blur, sir. She talks heavy about cheerdance?"

"You clashed with the captain."

"Uhm..." Ann awkwardly smirks. "What time is it?"

Showtime, showtime, yo!

"Almost 8:15. Why—"

"CAMPANA HOUSE MEETING RIGHT NOW!" shouts Reyna from right outside the entrance door. "DOWN TO THE GYM ASAP! C'MON, CAMPANA!"

"Let's go!" shouts Ysobel. Sion, Dolan, and Calvin follow.

"Why're we holding a house meeting at a time like this?" asks Angelika.

"You'll see when we get down," Reyna asserts. "LET'S GO, CAMPANA!"

April walks along the corridor to the classroom. "Hey, what's going on—"

"GET OUT, NAVIO!" Sandee yells.

"Yeah, April," Rainard replies.

The seven of them, along with another 7 from 9-B and 6 from A run down four flights of stairs. 22 more from the Year 10 classrooms follow along.

"Let's cheer, everyone!" shouts Reyna.

"Let's save our voices for the gym," Alyssa replies. "Hurry up, Campana!"

They run along the walkway to the gym.

They enter through the gym's doors. "Over here!" shouts Annica (more popularly known as "Lad" for some reason) raising her arm and waving at the swarm of bells.

"Let's wait for more people," states Chesca. "We'll make sure the tenth graders and Dave are all here."

"Campana dominates the gym," says Jappy.

Unorganised, unrelated chit-chat happens as they all stand and wait.

"This was sudden," mutters Sandee.

"I feel like I'm the only regular member who knew something about this beforehand," Kaitlyn cuts in, holding a notebook. "You know Ann Lawson? She and I are assigned to today. SportsFest House Launching, see."

They're both Spark?

"It's not like you really knew about the house meeting—"

"Well, I saw it coming, at least."

Sandee doesn't give a reply. Where's Kat?

"Yo, Nate!" shouts Kaitlyn, leaning over an indoor fence. "Campana house meeting over here. Join us!"

"Campana?" replies Nate, confused. "Yo, bro."

"You don't even know your house yet," Dave replies.

Kaitlyn jots something down on her notebook. "Don't relatives go together?"

That thing she noted down...

It's a doodle of a bell.

Dave looks off to the side. "Join us if you want, Nate. You should put your bag in your classroom first, though."

"I'll be back. See ya!"

Orelya stops by as well. "Is it time already?"

"Campana conquers the gym, friend," Jappy responds.

"Campana only. What house are you?" asks Dave.

"Oh, I see," Orelya replies.

"She's Navio," says Reyna.

"Get out!" shouts Ysobel, fanning her hand back and forth.

"Sorry I'm late, everyone!" shouts Kat. "No batch is missing?"

"Where's Sofia?" asks Dave.

"Oh, fever. She's absent, but don't worry about it," Lad answers.

"Alright, Campana!" shouts Dave, ringing a bell. "Over here!"

"Guys!" shouts Lad. "I hope everyone knows we have the SportsFest Launching today?"

"I knew," answers Reyna.

"Yeah," replies Kaitlyn.

"Sorta?" thinks Sandee.

"Over here, everyone!" Lad commands. "We all remember our cheer, right? C-A!"

"C-A-M! C-A-M-P-A-N-A! CAMPANA! HEY! HEY! CAMPANA! HEY! HEY!"

"C—" goes Rainard.

"Oof," Sion replies.

"Later, when we Campana house heads rise up to introduce ourselves, everybody cheer, alright?"

"Somos? Or spelling?" asks Kaitlyn.

"Spelling," Lad answers.

"What time is it?" asks Dolan.

Lad looks back at the clock. "It's almost time. Best go back to your classmates. But before that, let's huddle."

They all gather in a circle, hands wrapped around each others' shoulders. "Somos Luchadores, Campana... Somos Luchadores, Campana... Somos Luchadores, Campana! SOMOS LUCHADORES CAMPANA!" they say, with each "Somos Luchadores" getting louder. They all leave the circle and join the rest of their classmates.

"Where were you?" asks Vick, looking at Sandee.

"House meeting," Sandee replies.

"It's SportsFest already?" Vick responds. "Jesus."

"The gym is Campana territory," says Jappy, who overhears them.

"What?" replies April. "No it's not."

"r/woooosh," Vick replies.

They all see Mr. Grayson by the stairs, about to walk up.
