Cheerleading Jitters

I had just joined the JV cheerleading team and for our beginning of the year parade, we were going to do a small dance on a float. Even though I'm new on the team, the captain put me close to the front for the dance number that we would be doing. I was super excited and made sure that I got all the moves down perfectly. When we got on the float, I started getting butterflies in my stomach. It seemed like they were just nerves, so I didn't tell anyone about it. Once the float started moving into the middle of the parade we began to do our choreographed dance. All of the dancing and the swaying from the float started to get to me. I tried to calm down but my stomach was getting more and more queasy. Before I knew it, I had puked off the side of the float. It was in front of the whole town!
