AUTHOR'S NOTES: So as I promised, after ending THE FLOWER FOUR, I give you my 5th fanfic entitled 'SHE IS HANDSOME'. Once again, I got this idea from a korean series that I fell in love with entitled, 'HE IS BEAUTIFUL'… So again, I made a personal twist on it. The original story is about 3 boys and a girl who pretends to be a boy. But of course, here I made changes, so it will be like 3 gay girls and a girl who pretends she's a boy.
So, I hope you like it. I know I made your heart broken on my 4th story, STICKY NOTE GIRL… But good news here, this isn't too much of a drama, it's lighter than the Flower Four and Sticky Note Girl. So I hope you will love it as much as I love writing and sharing it to all of you!
SHE IS HANDSOME
CHAPTER 1
"Where is Santana?" Mother Superior asks beside her as the Holy Mass begins to start.
"Probably running again." the nun beside her answers, then continue to join singing the entrance song.
Mother Superior let out a deep sigh.
The ringing of the bell is heard through the city and Santana Marie Lopez starts running as fast as she can. Her veil flying off the air as she runs. She is late for the Holy Mass. Again. She can't be late, again.
With the speed she possessed by always running like she's in some sort of a marathon race, she speeds up faster. Her ragged breathing visible.
As she pass by, she sees the statue of Virgin Mary, and she stops for a while to make the sign of the cross, then she run fast again, she's close. She's almost there.
At last, she arrives, she stops for a while in front of the entrance door of the church and calm her breaths.
Then she enters. Almost in time.
She smiles at herself. Well done, Santana.
You're only 3 minutes late. It's a record from her previous encounters with being late for the celebration of the Holy Mass. Well done.
"Hallelujah" She heard them say, she sneaks in very quietly and makes her way at the back. Feeling contented, she joins in the singing of the entrance song.
Her hands put together in front of her chest, gesturing to pray solemnly.
"Amen." she answers together with the people attending the mass.
They recite the Apostle's Creed together with the priest when Santana notices a girl, probably 10 years of age, with earphones plug in her ears, and iPod in hand.
She call for the girl's attention across the center.
The girl looks at her.
"Turn it off." she whispers in Spanish.
The little girl just looks at her, then ignores her.
Then she calls again, the little girl looks at her again.
"Please. Turn it off." she says, gesturing to turn off the iPod by pointing at it.
The girl just gives her an annoying look.
Santana's eyes went wide because of the stubbornness of the little girl.
"It's probably because she can't hear me." she mutters to herself.
So she sneaks into the back of the little girl across the other side.
The little girl looks at her back when Santana pokes her.
The little girl continues to listen on her iPod so Santana tries to removes the earphone on her. But the little girl refuses, she holds her earphone very tightly.
So, Santana and the little girl starts to play the game push and pull.
The girl pulls a little harder that made the iPod falls down, thus removing the earphones attached.
And because the earphone was removed, the music on the girl's iPod fills the entire church.
The priest widens her eyes.
Mother superior sees Santana, who is at the center aisle, picking up the fallen iPod.
She shakes her head.
Santana mutters a 'Sorry' and shamefully bows her head.
The fireworks blasting…
The crowd cheering…
The girls screaming…
The drums rolling…
The music starts...
The sound of the electric guitar fills the entire concert venue…
The A N JELL are here, doing a concert tour in Spain.
And they sings their latest single from their 6th album. "I will promise you"
Brittany Pierce, the lead vocal of the group, electric guitar strap around her body, holds the microphone stand and starts singing her heart out. Her gorgeous long blonde hair unruly covers her face most of the time that she constantly combed it with her fingers which only made her look hot and sexy.
I will promise you…
I'll live with my eyes filled only you…
I will promise you…
I'll live with my arms holding only you…
From the moment I wake up to when I fall back asleep, I will yearn only for you…
Don't forget the words, "I love you"
I love you forever!
Quinn Fabray, the lead guitarist of the group, flashes her oh-so-sweet smile directly to the screaming fans as she sings her line.
On a hot summer day, I will be your shade…
On a rainy day, I will be your umbrella…
If you get tired of walking, I'll even be your chair…
Sugar Motta, the drummer of the group, performs a head bang and sings the next line.
When you laugh, I'll laugh with you…
so that you can be twice as happy…
When you cry, I'll become a handkerchief, and wipe away the tears…
Then the three of them starts singing the chorus… with Brittany's voice the most heard one…
I will promise you…
I'll live with my eyes filled only you…
I will promise you…
I'll live with my arms holding only you…
From the moment I wake up to when I fall back asleep, I will yearn only for you…
Don't forget the words, "I love you"
I love you forever!
"Is your throat okay?" Sue Sylvester directly asks Brittany inside the A N JELL trailer van.
Brittany doesn't answer. She caresses her throat nevertheless.
"The doctor told you not to sing live for awhile and you were just going to lips sync." Sue continues again.
Brittany shot Sue an unbelievable look.
"It ended well. Isn't that good enough?" Quinn interjects. "Even though Brittany's voice waver at the end." she continues as she looks at Brittany. "But I'm sure no one noticed."
"Your voice cracked?" Sugar, at the back seat of the trailer van, leans forward. "Where? I didn't know."
Brittany just ignores them, obviously she's irritated.
"Brittany S. Pierce, you're banned from performing live." Sue said in an authoritative manner.
"If a singer doesn't sing, what is she gonna do?" Brittany said with a smug in her face.
"You took part in the 6th album, so you should know well." Sue said. "It's too much for your vocal chords. Too much for you to handle." Sue continues, "We're bringing in another vocal like we planned.
Brittany shot her an unbelievable look. "You already know, but not anyone can sing my songs." she said.
"Not just anyone. He's pretty good. You'll meet him soon." Sue said, with a smile on her face.
The three A N JELL widens their eyes.
"He? A boy?" they all said in disgust.
"Yup, I'm planning to include a boy in this band." Sue said.
"What? We don't need a boy!" Brittany exclaims. "I refused!" she crosses her arms.
"We refused too!" Quinn and Sugar both said in unison.
They are all pretty gorgeous lesbians, and they don't want to include a boy in their band.
Sue just looks at them, "I want A N JELL to have a wide range of fans. Yes, you capture almost all of the girl's hearts, straight or lesbians. But I want another range of fans, which includes half of the straight girls and gays." she said proudly.
They all express their refusal to the idea.
"Girls, end of story. You'll meet him soon. So be ready." Sue said with finality in her voice.
"I'll look forward to it, whoever that is." Brittany said coldly, then she flashes her devilish smile.
Santana walks with a sad face. She was clearly embarrassed of what happened. Bucket filled of water in her hand, she walks straight to the statues and starts to clean.
Unknowingly to Santana, someone is currently observing her looks and features, detail by detail.
"So, one of these faces is a nun." He mumbles as he looks at the picture in his hand. He adjusts his sunglasses, "Why a nun of all things?" he said, speaking at himself again.
"Santana, you don't have to be the one to go there." Sister Mercedes tells Santana.
"It's okay. It's that ticket that I'll be using to go to Rome. I want to be the one to pick it up." Santana said as she hops on her motorbike.
"I'm worried about you." Sister Mercedes said again.
Santana flashes her megawatt smile. "I can handle it. Don't worry."
Sister Mercedes takes a deep breath, "Ok, show me right signal."
Santana shows her the right signal.
"How about left signal?"
Santana shows her the left signal and maneuvers the motor bike on her left.
"You will really be okay?" the nun once again asks.
Santana smiles. "All good, sister Mercedes. Tell Mother Superior that I'll be right back." she said then wears her helmet above her veil.
Santana drives her motor bike and she smiles as she enjoys the view. She will definitely miss this peaceful city.
But then, she looks at her side mirror and notices that a car is gaining at her back. So she moves to the left side to give way.
She scrunches her eyebrows when the said car didn't move past her, instead it also goes to the left side.
So, again, she goes at the right side.
The car move past her but stops in front of her that she stops her motor bike abruptly.
A man dresses in black with matching black sunglasses steps out of the car.
He walk towards her and lean over the handle of her motor bike.
"Sister, you know Santino Lopez, right?" he asks.
"Who are you?" Santana asks.
"You know Santino, right?" he asks again.
"Why?" Santana asks.
The man didn't answer, instead he leans over and removes Santana's helmet. He sigh upon seeing Santana without her helmet on, but still with a veil. "You look exactly alike!" he gasps and fished the picture out of his pocket. He stares at the picture again, then back to Santana.
Santana screams at the top of her lungs. She was so scared of the sudden appearance of this weird stranger.
"What? What did I do?" the man covers Santana's mouth with his hand.
Santana kicks the man on his foot.
The man screams in pain.
Santana felt rush of guilt in her face.
The man backs out. "Hold on. Hold on. Hold on." he breathes.
But Santana gets scared again, she takes her helmet from the man and hops on her motor bike. She starts the engine and escapes.
Screaming in pain, the man moves again and steps inside his car. He follows Santana and shouts, "Sister, wait! Wait! Sister!"
But Santana ignores her so he moves the car on Santana's side, "Sister, please stop. Stop. Please stop."
So they ended up gaining with each other.
"Sister." he said again, "You know Santino right? Santino Lopez? He is your twin brother right?"
Santana ignores her.
"Something happened to him!" the man yells that made Santana stop.
"It's really my brother Santino." Santana looks at the picture. Her brother wears a rockstar outfit that really looks good on him.
"Sister." the man who identifies himself as William Shuester, stands in front of Santana.
"Oh. I'm not yet a nun. I'm still a sister-in-training." Santana said honestly.
"Sister-in-training, the reason why I came is to give you an important news about Santino." he said.
Santana nods her head, "What happened to him?"
"Something big happened actually. Santino has been chosen to join the famous band A N JELL" he said excitedly.
"A N- what?" Santana asks dumbly.
"Sister, you don't know A N JELL ?" he asks, his shoulders drop.
"I told you, I'm not officially a nun yet." Santana said softly.
"That's not important right now. I just told you that your twin brother will join the world's famous band, A N JELL. He got selected as a member!" he said pointing at the picture.
"Oh. So what is the problem?" Santana asks.
William takes a deep breath, "I came to tell you the other urgent news. With a lot of shame." he kneels in front of her that made Santana's eyes widen.
"Why are you kneeling?" she asks.
"Sister." he said again.
"I'm not a sister yet." Santana said shyly.
"Doesn't matter… please please.. Our Santino, your own flesh and blood, your twin brother… please save him…"
"How can I?" Santana asks.
"How?" William flashes a toothy grin, "Please become Santino."
Her eyes widen in shock as she hears the man's words.
At Sue Sylvester's room, she is talking via video call to the executives of the recording company.
"Santino Lopez. This is the one that I choose." she said, sending the picture via mail. The executives smiles satisfyingly. "He's Spanish. This kid's voice is magical. He has an incredible voice. "He's going to be the fourth member of the band, and the only guy member. It will be a blast, I promise you!"
The executives looks very satisfied.
"He just needs to sign the contract. He should be here soon."
One of the executives ask, "Are you sure that's a guy? He looks really pretty, I'd believe if you say that he's a girl."
"I'm positively sure of that. Besides I know what we agreed upon. That the fourth member should be a guy. So, Santino Lopez is definitely a guy." Sue Sylvester confidently says.
"Good." they said. "Then now we're positively sure that A N JELL will still beat the new boy band, The Warblers, having our very own handsome guy in our recording company."
Sue smiles widely. She got this.
William opens the door for Santana, then she steps out of the car.
"I just needs to sign, right?" Santana asks, clearly nervous of what she agreed upon. "Nothing happened to Santino, right?"
"It's okay. There was just a small accident." William said. "If you go and sign the papers, there won't be any problems at all. Stay here. I'll go park the car."
Santana nods her head.
Santana walks towards the hotel where the signing will take place. She sees several girls in front of the hotel, carrying what it seems like a placards. There are also security guards surrounding the area.
Curiously, she walk towards them, she feels out of place because of what she wears. She's a nun-in-training of course.
She reads every single placards.
A N JELL WE LOVE YOU!
BRITTANY YOU'RE SO SEXY! I LOVE YOU!
PRETTY QUINN, MARRY ME!
SUGAR, MAKE ME YOURS!
She furrows her eyebrows. What kind of girls saying 'I love you' to another girl? She's pretty sure that Brittany, Quinn and Sugar are girl's name right?
Really weird.
She sees their costumes. Almost all of the girls have angel's wings on their back. She looks at them and smiles.
"Oh. Angels! So cute!" she exclaims.
One girl stands up in front of her, "You're a nun." she said eyeing her up and down. "It's for real?"
"No. I'm not officially a nun yet." Santana said.
"I see." the girl said, "You really stand out a lot! The idea is awesome!"
The other girl beside the first girl said, "Even a ring! The A N JELL are definitely gonna notice you!" then she looks at the first girl and said, "Why didn't I come up with this idea?" she said regretfully.
Santana shifts uncomfortably, "Did you all come here to meet the A N JELL?" she asks.
"We've been stalking at them for three days, but haven't seen them at all in personal. Concert tickets are so expensive. And all were fully sold before we even had the chance to buy for us." the first girl said.
"Does that mean you might not see them today?" Santana asks then she whispers softly, "He said that we will meet them today."
The first girl agrees, "We have to meet them today also. Starting tomorrow, we're having our midterm exam so…"
Then the guards starts to run. The girls around Santana starts to scream too.
"Oh my god! They're here!" they said.
They all run past Santana and one of the girls accidentally drops her A N JELL props fan.
Santana picks it up. "Hey, you drop this." she said running towards them.
A N JELL!
A N JELL!
The girls chants continuously.
A N JELL!
A N JELL!
Then a trailer van stops. Santana stops too. A N JELL? Are they inside? she thought.
That's when Santana sees them.
A girl with a very gorgeous wavy long blonde hair steps out of the van. She wears super tight black leather pants combines with leather black high-heeled boots. She wears perfectly fitted blue sleeveless top that made her look sexy. She removes her sunglasses off her revealing piercing blue eyes. She has this serious look on her face. Her eyes straight ahead not bothering to look at her screaming fans.
Then another girl steps out of the van. She has this long straight blonde hair and she has this very nice smile directed to her adoring fans. She also wears black leather pants, black high-heeled boots matching with green sleeveless top. She looks at her adoring fans unlike the first girl.
The third girl steps out of the van, just like the first two, she has also the same outfit as their except for the sleeveless white top. She flashes a wide smile to the girls. She looks very friendly.
The three of them starts walking while the fans screams their name.
BRITTANY!
QUINN!
SUGAR!
Sugar smiles at the girls and winks at them that made the girls swoon endlessly.
Several guards surrounding the three as the walk towards Santana.
"Mother Superior, I saw three angelic beauties today. They really look like angels coming down from heaven walking around the earth." Santana said to herself.
As Brittany walks around the screaming fans, her eyes shifts to the girl who is dress like a nun. She gives the girl a sideway look before walking past her.
Quinn walks past the girl too, and gives her a sideway look and smiles at her.
Lastly, Sugar notices the girl too, she stops and sign her autograph on the A N JELL fan the girl is carrying with her own hands. She gives the girl a wave and makes the sign of the cross and bow at her before walking past her. "Bye." she said then winks at her.
Santana was rendered speechless. It seems like the world stops until someone pokes her back. She turn around, still holding the fan in front of her.
"Are you an A N JELL fan?" William asks as she looks at the fan Santana is currently holding to.
"Huh?"
"Well, girls at your age, hmmm… I can't blame you if you're a fan. Anyway here are your clothes and wig." William handed her the paper bag. "You have to put these on. I know you secretly like it." he said.
"Huh?" Santana asks again.
"Come on." William said.
"Wow! You really look like Santino!" William exclaims. "Except you're just a little… thin."
Santana looks down at herself. She wears this super big leather jacket with T-shirt inside it, and ripped pants. She looks like a rock star. She also ties her long hair and puts her wig on. She wears a cap too, to hold her wig.
"I kinda feels like this is a fraud." Santana mumbles.
"Fraud? Why is this a fraud?" William asks, her voice low. "You just have to sign some papers. You can't do this for Santino's dream and future?" he said then encourages her, "You just have to close your eyes and sign the papers. Hurry, let's go."
Santana grab her pants down, she's really uncomfortable with it, "These pants are really ripped and they keep falling off." she said.
"This is the trend these days. You look good anyway." William said.
"Santino Lopez! You are here!" Sue Sylvester said and claps her hand. "You seem tense. Relax boy! You saw the contract that was sent?"
Santana shifts her eyes towards William.
"Yes. It's flawless." William answers for her.
"Let's go sign." Sue said, her arms around Santana.
William let out a deep breath.
The contract is presented at Santana. She close her eyes and sign her brother's name on it.
But then the door opens revealing a very serious Brittany S. Pierce.
"That's him? Santino Lopez? With an angel voice?" she said, her eyes squinting.
Sue stands up, "Glad you're here. I want to introduce him to you. How about Quinn and Sugar? Where are they?"
Brittany ignores Sue, she walk towards Santana and leans into her. She studies her face very closely. Her blue eyes piercing into hers.
"You're really that good?" Brittany said, her breathe on Santana's face.
Santana swallows nervously as she nods her head.
Brittany stands straight, she looks at the contract. "Even more than the contract, I have to confirm something." she said.
Carrying the contract with her left hand, her other hand grabs Santana's wrist and pulls her off her seat.
"Hey! Hey! Brittany! Where are you going?" Sue said frantically.
Brittany just continues walking with Santana on her side.
They reach their hotel room and Brittany goes straight to the music room where all of their instruments are present. She closes the door shut as she pushes Santana inside.
Santana stumble towards the other blonde girl.
Quinn catches her, and gives her a smile. "You're Santino Lopez?" she said as she caresses Santana's shoulder.
Santana freaks out and walk away from her, stumbling on the third girl.
Sugar furrows her eyebrows, "This guy is too short, don't you think?" she said as she uses her hand to compare their height.
Santana freaks out again and moves away from the auburn-hair girl.
Her eyes locked into Brittany once again, and she really feels nervous.
"Open the door! Brittany! Open the door!" Sue shouts outside the music room, clearly freaking out.
Brittany ignores the shouting outside the music room. She handed Santana a music note. "Sing it. I need to hear you sing myself before deciding whether to accept you or not." then she glares at her, "If you didn't satisfy me, it doesn't matter how many contracts you signed with Sue Sylvester. We won't accept you in our team." she said confidently.
"Sue speaks highly of you." Quinn said, crossing her arms, "I'm curious to hear your talent." she said, smiling at her.
"You have an amazing voice? Sing the song. We want to hear it." Sugar adds.
"If you don't like that song, sing whatever you want." Brittany said, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
Santana takes a deep breath.
"You can't do it?" Brittany said, her eyebrows rising. Her voice teasing.
Santana can hear the voices outside the music room, trying many ways to get in.
She doesn't have a choice now. She needs to sing.
She heard William's voice. "Santino! Don't give up now! this is your dream! Please don't give up!"
Brittany smiles, "Forget it. You won't do." she said as she motions to tear off the contract on her hands.
Santana takes a deep breath and sings in her best angelic voice, the song she always sings in the convent.
A song of praise.
Quinn widens her eyes, clearly impressed by the angelic voice she ever heard in her entire life.
Sugar mirrors Quinn's expression.
Brittany's hands are mid-air, with the contract in her hands.
Santana opens her eyes as she finishes her song.
The three girls were left speechless.
Sue Sylvester manages to find the door key and opens the door.
Brittany turn around and gives the contract to Sue without a word.
Sue and William are impressed. They smile knowingly to Santana.
Quinn pats Santana's shoulder and smiles at her, "Good job." she said then walk out of the room.
Sugar leans into Santana, "It is really an awesome voice! I got goosebumps." she said as she smiles at her. "Where is that voice coming from?" she said as she pokes Santana's cheek playfully. "If I weren't a lesbian, I might have an heterosexual crush on you." she said then winks at her. "Anyway, seems like Brittany accepted you so… Welcome to A N JELL! Let's work hard together okay?" she said and gives Santana a genuinely smile.
Santana takes a deep breath. That was so close, she thought.
