"Yeah, Serena," Tiana also chimed in, "Don’t ever think cheerleading is easy. The annual basketball competitions in the City of Aethelgard’s high schools are times when cheerleading squads vie for attention and reputation. Everyone tries their best to present their best selves, but Anabelle Rathborne has always been the winner. She’s very committed to cheerleading and is extremely competitive." "Serena," Principal Tucker asked, "Do you have experience with cheerleading?" Everyone looked at her expectantly, but Serena Sterling shook her head, "No experience, this is the first time." "But," Serena quickly smiled, "I can get help, and the people I find will be unmatched by those golden teams." Everyone quickly asked curiously, "Serena, who are you planning to ask for help?" "It’s a secret for now. After school, please gather the members of the cheerleading squad at the school gate. The basketball game is just a week away, so we need to make the most of the time to train," Serena said solemnly. Looking at Serena’s clear and determined eyes, everyone’s hearts calmed down. She possessed a convincing power, and they all believed that the cheerleading squad that A University showed up with at the basketball game in a week would amaze everyone. Anabelle Rathborne had already started working on the cheerleading matters when her teammate Hailey ran over, "Annette, I just heard that the cheerleading captain for neighboring A University this year is that Serena Sterling." Anabelle showed no surprise. Serena is A University’s campus belle and has climbed to No.2 on the college campus belle rankings, so she certainly would be the cheerleading captain. "Annette, Serena’s popularity is really high right now, because those college campus belles are people we’re familiar with, and now there’s suddenly a new face. The forums are talking about how stunning she is, and many college students are eagerly waiting for Serena to perform at the basketball game." Anabelle curled her red lips, and thought that’s even better. The more people pay attention, the more they will watch how she defeats Serena on the basketball court, and who knows who will end up embarrassed. "But Annette, no matter how much Serena tries, she’ll still be defeated by you." This was almost everyone’s belief. "Enough, Hailey, let’s not talk about that Serena. Did you manage to contact Leah Thorne, the red rose of the entertainment industry?" Anabelle asked. Mentioning Leah Thorne, Hailey quickly got excited. In the socialite circle, whether in Bayside or Aethelgard, no one is unfamiliar with Leah Thorne. Leah Thorne’s momentum over the past two years has been tremendous. She’s the hottest top actress now. Just her endorsements of international luxury brands make her wardrobe and bags a must-have for those socialites, who are all emulating her. Leah’s style is the current fashion benchmark in the entertainment industry. Leah has a strikingly beautiful face and with her lazy and sophisticated demeanor, she’s definitely the most exquisite rose. These socialites are highly envious of her, since their backgrounds are significantly higher than Leah’s in the entertainment industry, yet they want to be as captivating as Leah, in a love-and-hate obsession. "Annette, I’ve contacted Leah Thorne’s manager, but they replied that Leah is currently collaborating with Fly and can’t spare any time to teach us dance," Hailey said disappointedly. It was Anabelle’s first time being refused. She was the daughter of the richest person, and no one had ever dared to disrespect her , and Leah, just an actress, dared to be so arrogant. However, everyone knew Leah Thorne had strong backing, and this connection was untouchable, especially with this recent collaboration with Fly Jewelry, which happened to work with The Crawford Group. Anabelle didn’t want to meddle with Leah Thorne for now, to avoid any trouble. So she kept her hands clean. "Annette, last year Leah Thorne performed a dance, ’Fire,’ which took the internet by storm. Consequently, we also performed Leah’s ’Fire’ with our cheerleading squad last year, and it stole the spotlight. And Leah’s team is renowned for being elite. I heard other female celebrities tried with millions to poach her makeup artist but failed. Leah personally has a very keen sense for fashion. If we had her collaboration, we’d be sure to win, but who knew Leah wouldn’t give us face; what a pity!" Anabelle clenched her fist, "Forget it. Since Leah Thorne doesn’t want to collaborate, we can’t waste time on her now. Time is tight—let’s collaborate with Leah Thatcher instead." Leah Thatcher is also a very popular top actress in the entertainment circle. She’s always been a rival to Leah Thorne, keeping pace with her closely. And Leah Thatcher returned home from Korea being part of a renowned dance troupe. She’s professionally trained in dance before Leah Thorne entered the entertainment industry, standing out uniquely and her skills are undeniable. Anabelle always executed things steadily, and Leah Thatcher was willing to cooperate with her, but Anabelle was actually more inclined toward Leah Thorne, mainly because Leah had an innate fashion sense. "Okay Annette, actually having Leah Thatcher is more than enough. Serena probably doesn’t even know which amateur team to invite from the street. She likely doesn’t even know who Leah Thorne is, we’ll just sit back and watch the drama, and see her getting embarrassed on the day of the basketball game." Anabelle nodded, indeed, she couldn’t get Leah Thorne, and Serena couldn’t get Leah Thorne either, so it didn’t affect the overall situation. Serena surely doesn’t know that the annual basketball games are held at the Four-Square Plaza, which is The Crawford Group’s territory. At the joint basketball game of Aethelgard’s high schools, The Crawford Group’s president Hayden Crawford would make an appearance that day. Anabelle wanted to outshine Serena in front of Hayden. She wanted Hayden to know that she’s the one who’s always the brightest star. After school, Tiana brought all the cheerleading squad members. These were the most attractive female students of A University, though still fell short of those from T University. Tiana asked curiously, "Serena, where are you taking us? Are we going to practice a dance? What dance are we performing this time?" Serena blinked her long lashes mysteriously, "You’ll know once we get there." Serena led everyone to a commercial office building and took the elevator to the 18th floor, where Madame Goldie greeted them, "Miss Serena, hello. Leah has a few photos to take, let me take you there first, please wait a moment." "Okay," Serena nodded. This time Tiana whispered, "Serena, I feel person looks familiar, as if I’ve seen her somewhere." "Indeed, her presence is strong and professional, like... someone’s manager, right?" Someone gasped somewhere, shocked, "I just realized, she looks like Madame Goldie, the manager of the entertainment industry’s red rose... Leah Thorne!"
