Chloe walked into the gym with the rest of the team. Andrew had insisted she taker his spot on the team. This was a somewhat regular occurrence in sports. When heads rotated bodies, the roster usually rotated with them.
Since sports usually relied on training and conditioning the body, the coach usually wanted to keep the body on the team. The new player was usually not as good as the old, since they hadn't gone through the training the body had, but muscle memory helped somewhat.
When the coach saw the boy's head on one of her cheerleaders bodies, she sighed. Scanning the bleachers, she found Andrew watching his new girlfriend's practice. The coach yelled at him. "Do you idiots enjoy throwing monkey wrenches into my routines?" She asked.
"Its okay coach!" Tabby told her. "I can run her through the basics, and Chloe's body knows the routine. She just has to get the beat and she will be fine."
Chloe was surprised by her new bodies flexibility. She could now do a full split, and found doing a back flip was almost instinctual. The hardest part of practice was overcoming her self-consciousness.
When Chloe tried to dance with the rest of the team, she felt embarrassed and got off beat. While her body did know what to do, Chloe did not, so she was completely unable to recover once she was off beat. Each step made it more and more obvious that she didn't know the routine.
By the end of practice, Chloe was walking back to the locker room red from shame. "That was terrible." She said. "Maybe switching with a cheerleader was a bad idea."
"Too late now." A girl named Samantha told her. "Andrew isn't going to give you back your body and coach isn't going to let you quit. She'd rather whip you into shape instead of dealing with a body that doesn't at least have a base for the training. Besides, I think you are doing better than I did when I started."
Samantha was an exchange student from Ireland. These days the exchange program saved money on travel by simply shipping the heads of the students to their new schools. The heads were placed on the bodies of whatever students they were trading with and stayed with the body's family. It made finding host families easier and since the exchange was made towards the end of the summer and the presto pills sped up the head's adaption to the body, no one knew if Samantha was a boy or a girl before. She for one liked to keep it a mystery.
Samantha's body was vice-captain so she got stuck on the team without ever having done it before. "Don't worry." She assured Chloe. "You will get it soon enough. Now get a shower." She pinched her nose. "You stink from that work out."
It was then Chloe turned Eben redder as she realized that the other girl's were stripping to hit the showers. Somehow this part of being a girl had alluded her thought process.
