Notes:

Hey everyone. Here it is. The first Verena's Crush. I started writing it the day after I finished JTWYLT, which means one thing: the chapters are still really, really short. This is from Verena's POV and because it covers a lot of things, it's a bit, well... fast. For example, this one covers JTWYLT chapter 1 to 4 and it three chapters long.

But hey, the real thing starts in ch2 ;)

It started so innocent.

Verena was going to NYADA! She was going to leave Germany, maybe forever! She couldn't wait.

The Big Apple was amazing. She spent her first year in the city living on the streets. Well, not really living on the streets, like the homeless did. She worked and lived on several locations. One week here, one week there.

The year passed and she was going to attend NYADA. She gathered her stuff and moved in her dorm room. Her roommate, Michelle, was really nice and the girls became friends.

'I love singing,' Michelle said, 'Also acting. One day, I'll be on Broadway.' 'I'd watch that,' Verena said, 'My passion is dancing, I guess.'

'You guess?' Michelle gaped in disbelief, 'I saw you dancing yesterday. Incredible! You have to go to miss Adan!'

'Miss Adan?' Verena asked, 'Who's miss Adan?'

'Blimey!' Michelle exclaimed in a very British way, 'You like- no, love, dancing, you are going to NYADA and dunno who miss Adan is?'

'Eh… yes.'

'Most freshmen who follow the dance classes have Cassandra July,' Michelle started explaining, 'Who is a monster. She always picks on one of her students. That's her way of motivating.' 'That's-' 'I know. That's one of the main reasons I'm not following the dance classes here.'

'Anyway,' Michelle continued, 'But then there's miss Adan. She is the star teacher for the first years. She's NYADA royalty. Cassie, short for Cassandra, only send the best of the best to her. That's why her classes are in the left building. Freshmen normally don't go there.'

'How did I not know?' Verena shrieked, 'I need to go there.' Michelle smiled in return. 'You have to survive Cassie first.'

And Michelle wasn't exaggerating. Cassandra July was really a monster. She didn't pick on Verena, bless, but on a girl called Mira Bennet. Mira came in with a boy. He wore a black tank top and green shorts. Mira called him Prep.

Prep's name was Blaine Anderson. Verena liked him. He was really nice and wore a lot of preppy clothes –when not in sportswear. 'That's why they call me Prep.'

Blaine was from Ohio and he was, as he called it, perfect gold star gay. He used to date NYADA star student Kurt Hummel, but they broke up over a year ago.

He still wasn't over him.

Verena never really had a boyfriend. She used to like this guy in sophomore year, but it didn't work out. Good, because she heard he had changed his attitude. Apparently the guy was a total ass.

One day, Cassie refused to teach Blaine, because he defended Mira. He left with pride. That was when he started meeting Verena on daily basis.

His friends planned a makeover, Blaine told her. The way to get over Kurt Hummel, they said.

Verena left. Dance class. Time to face Cassie July. She already felt sick.

But then, he walked in.
