She’s wanted. She’s hot. She’s everything you’re not. Even outside of practice, she’s in uniform and a high ponytail. She’s currently trying to win back the jock just so the prom photos come out pretty. Quinn and the gang from Glee didn’t do as much cheering as the Bring It On girls, but they wielded just as much power.
