18 year old Rachel Barbra Berry walked into Callbacks. Most NYADA students go there and she decided that she was going to have fun instead of wondering when she was going to hear from Finn. It also got her out of the room while her roommate had male company over. She's never really met her roommate but she already sick of her.
Rachel was wearing a pair of dark skinny jeans with a red v neck top. She had on black high heels. Her hair was down straightened and she wore a little makeup with lip gloss. She looked around and stared at everybody around her. People were dancing and talking with their friends or loved ones.
Music starts playing and she looked at the stage to see a very attractive girl with pale skin, piercing green eyes, long blonde hair with red and pink tips at the ends that was flowing down her back. Her body was slim yet curvy. She had on a jean mini skirt with a gray top. She was wearing a jean jacket. On her feet black high heeled boots.
She was dancing to the music with a mic in her hand then she started to sing.
Baby, does he do it for you?
When he's finished, does he step back and adore you?
I just gotta know 'cause your time is money and I won't let him waste it
Oh no no
Rachel found herself nodding to the beat just watching this girl sing showing off her sexy her voice. The girl glanced her away and smirks as she sings.
Baby, just go with it
'Cause when you're with me I can't explain it
It's just different
We can take it slow or act like you're my girl, let's skip the basics, whoa, no.
He's so replaceable
You're worth the chase you're putting on
She gets off the stage with the mic and made her way over to Rachel placing her hand on her cheek singing to her.
It's alright,
I'm not dangerous
When you're mine,
I'll be generous
You're irreplaceable
A collectible
Just like fine China
Rachel gasped softly staring into this girl's eyes as she sings to her. Who was this girl and why was she singing to me? Rachel thought.
Favorite. You're my favorite.
It's like all the girls around me don't have faces.
And the saying goes
"Life is just a game" but I'm not playin', whoa.
He's so replaceable
You're worth the chase, you're puttin' up.
She pulls her hand away slowly and moved around her winking then danced around the room singing to other people who cheered for her clapping to the beat.
Rachel just stared at her with her eyes wide open.
It's alright,
I'm not dangerous
When you're mine,
I'll be generous
You're irreplaceable
A collectible
Just like fine China
She looks back at Rachel and points to her singing. Rachel felt herself blushing.
It's alright,girl
I'm not dangerous, I'm not dangerous
When you're mine,girl
I'll be generous, you are
You're irreplaceable, you are
A collectible, you are
Just like fine China
She makes her way back to the stage and finished her song there clapping her hands making others do it.
Took me awhile to find your love
Ain't no amount of time in this world
Save me a lot of time and just love me
Feel it, baby, feel it in your soul
Are you ready?
I know your heart's been telling you you belong to me, ah nah nah no.
Rachel ordered herself a drink and she thanks the bartender and takes a sip of her drink while staring at the girl on stage.
It's alright,yeah
I'm not dangerous
When you're mine,
I'll be generous
You're irreplaceable
A collectible,
Just like fine China
The song ended and everybody clapped for her. Rachel put her drink down and clapped aswell. The girl says thank you before making her way to the bar to order herself a water.
"Did you enjoy my performance?" The girl asked her. Rachel nodded.
"Yeah I did actually. You got quite the voice. Do you always use random girls as your singing prop?" She chuckled.
"Not all the time. Sometimes I use a random guy. I'm Simone Edwards." She sticks her hand out. Rachel shakes it smiling.
"Nice to meet you Simone. I'm Rachel Berry." Simone smiles nicely at her.
"So your a freshman at NYADA?" She stared at her wondering how she knew.
"How did you know?" Simone grins. Rachel was interested to her.
"Because it's my second year at NYADA and I haven't really seen you before. Are you from New York?" She shook her head.
"No I'm from Lima Ohio. Are you from New York?" She nodded.
"Yeah born and raised here. Ohio huh? sounds like a boring place. Did you have any fun there?" Rachel shrugged her shoulders. She did have some fun moments when it came to Glee club and her best friend Kurt Hummel and Finn Hudson. She made some good friendships but Lima was a small place and everybody wanted to leave there.
"Lets just say that I'm glad to be living in New York." Simone nodded understanding. If she grew up in a small town, she would want to leave too.
"So how is college dorm life treating you?" Rachel rolls her eyes and tells her about her roommate. She also tells about her life back home.
"Cool I have two moms. Small world huh. Don't you love when your parents spoil you because your their only child?" Rachel laughed nodding.
"Are you going to perform something?" Rachel shook her head.
"Oh come on I want to hear you sing something. I'm going to have to hear you at NYADA anyways. Why not safe me the trouble of being surprised." Rachel sighs and gets up going to the stage and tells them what song she wanted and the music starts and she dances to the beat.
I see ya blowin' me a kiss
It doesn't take a scientist
To understand what's going on baby
If you see something in my eye
Let's not over analyze
Don't go too deep with it baby
Simone stared at Rachel as she sings. She was in awe just listening to her sing.
So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll play loose
Not like we have a date with destiny
Rachel smiles at Simone as she sings the main part of the song the looked at everybody else.
It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la
Simone nodded her head to the beat cheering her on. Rachel has a voice that belongs on Broadway. Simone thought.
It's raising my adrenaline
You're banging on a heart of tin
Please don't make too much of it baby
You say the word "forevermore"
That's not what I'm looking for
All I can commit to is "maybe"
So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll pay loose
Not like we have a date with destiny
Rachel couldn't believe she was having this much fun without any of her high school friends around.
It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la
She points to Simone smirking as she sings and sways her hips. Simone laughs.
Vanilla skies (vanilla skies)
White picket fences in your eyes
A vision of you and me
Rachel looks away finishing up the song.
It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing
Not like everything I do
Depends on you
Everybody clapped for her and she thanks them before making her way back to Simone who hugs her.
"Woah that was amazing girl. You are made for this city." Rachel grins totally agreeing with her.
"So what are you doing tomorrow after Miss July's dance class?" She said nothing really.
"Wrong. I'm going to show you around New York then we're going to get some lunch. Sound good?" Rachel sits back down nodded.
"Yes that's sounds wonderful." They talk more and listened to other people sing. Rachel was starting to like New York again.
When class was over for both girls. They both went back to their dorms to get ready for their afternoon together. They all morning classes together. They actually had the same major. Simone also taking a directing class. Rachel put on a cute navy blue mini skirt with a red long sleeve shirt. She on navy blue knee socks and high heels.
When Simone saw her she bursted out laughing.
"Are you for real with that outfit?" Rachel frowns.
"What's wrong with my outfit Simone?" Simone just pushed her back into the room and looked through her clothes.
"Alright you can wear this for now but we are not only going sightseeing but you are getting new clothes. That means dance clothes too." They walked out of Rachel's dorm room and start their day together.
Three Hours Later.
Rachel was so glad to be off her feet right now. They were having lunch after shoppping and sightseeing. Rachel liked her new clothes and shoes.
"Sorry for going crazy on you but you might have got away with those clothes in Ohio but in New York, you need to be updated on the clothes here." Simone tells her.
Rachel just took a bite of her veggie pizza then took a sip of her water.
"Oh are you going to stay quiet with me now?" Simone pouted. Rachel finished chewing then started talking.
"I'm not being quiet. I was simply finishing chewing. I guess I needed to upset my clothes. I love these clothes so thank you Simone." She smiles saying no problem.
"You seemed to be on Miss July's bad side. Nobody has really spoke back to her before. Not even myself." Rachel sighs.
"I wish she wasn't on my case all the time. I trust my best to do every step and nothing seems good for her." Simone placed her hand on hers.
"Trust me I know what your feeling. I was the same way when I came to NYADA last year. It's not going to be easy but you just have to work hard and don't give up. She'll know it and she'll keep doing it. Don't ever show weakness and you'll be good." Rachel nodded liking that advice.
"So are we friends now Rachel Berry?" She grins nodding.
"I would like that very much. You seem fun and I need some fun in my life." Simone smiles then noticed Rachel's necklace and noticed the huge engagement ring on it.
"That's some ring you got there. Is that from your boyfriend?" Rachel looked down at her necklace. She nodded.
"Yeah we haven't really spoken to each other in months. He's in the army." Simone felt bad for her.
"Well I'll keep you company until then and when he returns. We're friends after all." Rachel didn't want to think about Finn right now.
"Thanks for being my first friend in New York." They finished their lunches then paid for it.
"Come on let's go to park and people watch before going back to our dorms." Simone tells her not giving her a chance to say now.
Two Weeks Later.
Rachel stared at her new apartment taking in all the stuff they bought for their new place together. She got a loft apartment in Bushwick with her new friend Simone. They became best friends in the last few weeks of knowing each other. They had their own space in the place and made it their own. Everything was vintage like.
She's been in her new place for three days and she was loving it. She called Kurt two days ago telling him where she was living now and gave him the address if he ever wanted to move in or visit.
"So Rach I'm up for pizza for dinner tonight aswell a movie. You up for pizza?" She nodded with a smile on her face.
"Yeah New York pizza is so much better then Ohio pizza." Simone shook her head chuckling.
"So meat lovers pizza for me and a Veggie pizza for you. I'll call and pick it up." Rachel said that she'll be in the shower while that's happening.
Simone calls for the pizza telling them what she wanted then she hangs up. She heard Rachel singing and couldn't help but smile.
Rachel was a different kind of girl that she liked and could see herself dating but Rachel cleary had some finished business with this Finn guy that she needed to figure out.
She was going to be here for Rachel from now on. They were best friends now. She grabs her coat and went to grab the pizzas.
When Rachel got of the shower, she went to her side of the room and changed into her night clothes and smiled when she heard Simone walking into their place.
They grab the plates and picked out the movie they wanted and laughed and ate together.
"I'm so glad we're roommates." Rachel told her. Simone grins totally agreeing with her. She was really glad they were roommates.
"Me too Rach, me too." They both smiled at each other before finishing up their pizza and movie.
