So I change a lot of things... Just saying. :
In this well known tale of Cinderella, we have our Cinderella herself Ms. Danielle Dareck. Better known as Dani Darek, Dani is probably the most talented student at her new college for the arts. But sadly, the only reason she is at that school is because her lazy drunk step father is the dean. Dani also has a horrible hearted step sister named Quin(btw I love Quin and it was between her or Brittany. No hate, swearz :3), Quin never liked Dani. They always acted being nice to each other at the dinner table to make their parents happy.
Our Prince is the lovely Santana Lopez. Smart, beautiful, talented, and quite famous. Unlike other celebs, Santana is a great person... yeah I know. Santana wants to find talent at her new college she's attending and hopes to maybe even find herself a Princess to her fairy tale.
Our story starts with Dani, sitting in her closet bedroom, under the stairs like Harry Potter. Dani didn't mind the small room. She actually liked it, it was cute. But considering this mansion has about, twenty rooms, her step father should let her have one of them. There was only three people that lived in that house. That Dani cleans by the way. So Dani cleans the whole twenty room house but doesn't get to enjoy the stretching space of her own? It wasn't fair in anyway. Dani just studied music theory on her small bed.
Dani's phone buzzed beside her while she focused on her homework. She glanced over at it and it read,
Wicked Step Father :( : Dani, come to the dining room now. Our guests are here and we need cocktails.
Dani sighed and mocked her step dad, in his southern accent. "Dani, come to the dinin' room now, ya hear?" She chuckled to herself. Then her phone buzzed again.
Wicked Step Father :( : Don't make me tell Quin to come over! Now, means NOW.
Dani closed her Music Theory book, and scurried out of her closet bedroom. Dani quickly looks in the mirror in the hall way to the kitchen. She grinned at her self. "Lookin' good Darek." Dani quickly kissed the mirror and winked at her reflection before she jogged to the kitchen. Dani was surprised to see a somewhat sober step dad. He looked quite cleaned up for this guest. Dani looked at the people who sat on the leather couch in front of Mark, Dani's step dad. Dani saw two Latina girls. One older than the other. Mother and daughter maybe? Both beautiful but you can tell that the older one has had plastic surgery to look younger. Dani put on her smile while Mark introduced them to her.
"This is my step daughter, Danielle. My other daughter isn't here at the moment. She's at the studio." Mark smiled as if he was bragging about her. Yeah no. Quin is very pretty indeed but she has zero talent. Dani giggled a little and thought, I feel bad for her vocal coach. Mark nudged Dani a little and Dani's smile was being kept away. Trying to hold it in made Dani's dimples show. Dani then noticed that the younger girl was staring at her. Then the older lady introduced herself and her daughter. "I'm Maria Lopez. And this is my daughter, Isabella Lopez. She is a freshman here and your dad has been so nice to invite us over tonight. I also have another daughter who is 21, Santana who may or may not be coming tonight."
"Dani, will you head over to the counter and..." Mark was implying to make drinks for the adults. Dani nodded and walked over to the bar. Dani then pulled her hair up into a slouchy bun, and pulled out her tools to make margaritas, and Mark's usual. Bourbon on the Rocks. Dani then mocked Mark again while she mixed the drinks. "Howdy Dani, will you make some drinks? I deserve it after all, I'm all spiffy clean n' such!" Dani then noticed the freshman sitting at a bar stool in front of her. She was giggling a little bit.
"Well I'm embarrassed." Dani said while making the margarita. Dani then set down the mixing tools and held out her hand at Isabella. "I'm Dani, Mark's step daughter slash servant." Isabella shook Dani's hand. "Isabella-" Dani then continued to make the cocktails and listened. "-and I must say, you have very nice dimples." Dani blushed a little. It was a nice comment.
"Why thank you Ms. Lopez. Best thing I heard today so far." Isabella nodded and tapped the counter, awkwardly. Everyone then heard the doorbell and Mark told Dani to get it.
"You know, I don't think your guest would mind if you-" Mark cut Dani off and pointed at the door. Dani once again, put down the drinks and walked to the door. Before Dani opened it, she wiped her hands on her pants. She opened it to see another Latina. She was like a super model and Dani was a bit in awe. Brown eyes, long hair, super tall. Totally her type.
"Do I have the right house?" She asked. Dani snapped out of her daze and muttered, "My type..." The girl looked a bit confused. "Huh?" Dani's face was a little nervous and her dimples showed again. "I said, The light! You must've knocked down the outside light out there. It's missing now." The girl then looked behind her and looked really sorry.
"Oh, clumsy me. Should I replace it because I don't see anything glowing out there." Dani closed her eyes and put her hands up to stop. Dani is a great actor. "No, no. No need. Just come inside, you have the right house." The girl came inside and hugged her little sister. Dani sees Isabella whisper to her sister while looking at Dani for a moment. Dani just quickly stared at the floor and hurried back to the bar counter.
"Oh, Santana darling!" So that's Santana. Dani thought. Santana put on a fake smile, Dani could tell. "Hello Mother. Nice to see you." Didn't seem so nice. Her mom kissed Santana's cheek and Santana shook hands with Mark. "Nice to meet you but I think I might get a drink from your nice bartender." Isabella looked at Santana with an offended face. Isabella then whispered to her. "She's not the bartender! She's the dean's step daughter, Dani." Santana felt a little guilty. "Do you think she heard me?" Yes. Yes she did hear you.
"Margarita?" Dani yelled across to the dining room. The dining room and kitchen were connected. Santana quickly turned around and nodded nervously. Dani acted like she didn't hear her and just slightly smiled as she made the margarita. Santana and Isabella both sat on bar stools in front of Dani while she made the drinks. Dani was then started by her step dad's booming voice. "Are those drinks done!?" Dani dropped a glass when she heard him.
"It's gonna be a little longer..." Dani then bent down to pick up the shattered glass when she heard a little bit of bickering from across the bar. Dani then sees Santana bend down in front of her, helping her.
"If Mark finds out you're helping me, I think he'd ground me from going outside until I graduate." Santana laughed a little.
"You didn't ask me to so, I think you're okay." Dani smiled a little bit which made Santana blush a little. Why is she blushing already? Dani hadn't flirted yet. "Is it because I smiled...?" Dani whispered to herself. Dani then noticed her hand kept grazing over Santana's. Whoops... Dani then stood up quickly putting the bowl of glass on the bar. She then did her nervous face, with her dimples showing again which sort of made Isabella melt. Dani could tell she was going to have Isabella on her tail for a little while. Dani then grabbed the bowl. "I'm gonna take this out to the garbage outside." Santana stood up too. "Did you say that you're gonna check the light outside? Maybe I should come too because I broke it." Isabella then moved her gaze off of Dani and on to Santana.
"What light?" Santana then looked at Dani. Dani nervously smirked and got out of that house.
Dani tossed the glass in the bin and looked above her head. "Almost dark out." Dani sighed. She then heard footsteps behind her. It was probably Mark asking why he heard glass break, that it startled our guest and that I should go back to my room.
"Look Mark, if you came out here to-" Dani then saw Santana's face in front of her. "Oh... you're not Mark." Santana shook her head and leaned on a wall that was a fence around the house. "How come you told me I broke an outside light on my way in?" Because I was recovering from what I said previously. "Because it was funny." Dani put on her snobby face, trying not to laugh. Santana crossed her arms.
"Y'know, I have a bitch side that I really don't want to come out-" Dani then started laughing which made Santana confused. "Simmer down Santana, I don't need a beating." Santana just looked at Dani, debating if she was like her step dad or not. "But spanking, that's a whole other story." Dani winked. Santana blushed. She was really red. "I'm kidding Lopez, don't have to go so tomato on me." Santana cleared her throat and tried to cool down. "I was kidding about the light too, I was testing you." Santana looked confused.
"I was seeing what you would do if you actually did break a light. Accuse someone else, offer to pay, ignore it." Santana made an o shape with her mouth, realizing. Dani came up with that while she was throwing away the glass. "Anyway, you really need to go back inside." Dani said while she looked up at the sky. She could feel Santana's eyes on her so Dani quickly looked at Santana and caught her. Dani grinned and headed back inside, without Santana. Before Dani went inside, she heard Santana mumble a, "Shit.", and Dani just smiled to herself. Dani turned around, wondering if Santana was coming and she saw a bunch of people with cameras yelling, "Santana over here!"
Dani ran to Santana and covered her with her jacket. She then quickly guided Santana to the house. Santana took off her jacket and handed it back to Dani. "Thanks." Dani nodded. "Are you like, famous or something?" Santana looked at Dani. "Really?" Dani shook her head no.
"Not a clue." Santana smiled. "Well that's a first. Weren't you flirting with me because I'm famous?" Santana asked. Dani shook her head. "No, I was flirting with you because I wanted to." Dani then hung her jacket up on the hook by the front door. Santana blushed again. Dani and Santana saw their parents come rushing to them. "The paparazzi?" Her mom asked. Santana nodded. Her mom then quickly assumed I leaked her out to them.
"It was you wasn't it!" Mark then happily took the woman's side. "Danielle Dallas Dareck!" He used her middle name... Dani lowered her eyebrows in anger. "I didn't even know who she was until she told me literally twenty seconds ago." Isabella then overheard the argument and butted in.
"I was right by Dani the whole time and she didn't make one phone call or test message!" Dani gave the two adults disappointing stares, and headed to her room. She opened the door to her closet, and shut it fast, diving onto her bed.
She grabbed her laptop that Mark doesn't know she bought and googled Santana Lopez. Then popped up some articles and her wikipedia. She's Dani's age, 21, her mom is a famous fashion designer, her little sister does some modeling. Then she sees that Santana dated Brittany Pierce... Brittany was only Dani's favorite singer who is still alive! "Santana must be a big deal..." She said aloud to herself. She continued scrolling and saw the front page of TMZ. It was.. Dani. Dani made the cover. The headlines say, "Santana's new Girl is Protective!" Dani quickly closed her laptop.
"Oh god..." Was all Dani could say.
OKAY so, I wanted to start a new Dantana fic because my other one was doing good. I think this one will be AWESOME so leave me a review and maybe I'll write another chapter.~BellaTheZombie
