DISCLAIMER: I do not own the movie, Step Up 1 and/or 2, or anything else that's famous in this fanfiction. I only own my character(s).
This is also my first time doing Step Up movie, so, please be nice.
Also, sorry if it's descriptive, that's how I am. I'm trying to fix that...and sorry if some of the words are wrong.
"Kairi Ann Namazaki Santos! Get you're butt out of bed now!"
Said person softly groaned as they slowly climbed out of the bed, roughly throwing the blankets off of them. 17 year old Kairi softly sighed, blowing some of her hair out of her face. She slowly walked over to the bathroom, shedding off her clothes before she climbed into the shower. After 10 minutes of cleaning herself off, she shut off the shower and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around her before drying off. She then grabbed a black bra with matching boyshorts, immediately putting it on. She then looked at the mirror, seeing her reflection: healthy pale complexion; dark brown, almost black eyes; and a black, unique "posh crop", where the front stopped evenly above her chest, and the back stopped at the neck hairline, with full length, midnight blue highlights, and chin length bangs, covering the right side of her face. She neatly combed her hair, making her bangs frame the right side of her face.
She walked out of the bathroom and into her bedroom, heading for her closet. She opened the door, looking for something that she could wear. She settled on a white, fitted tanktop; baggy, navy blue cargo pants that fell past her hips, held by a three row silver studded belt; black/white Converse hightops; and her black, fingerless leather gloves.
She smiled, liking her outfit, and grabbed her backpack off of her desk, and went downstairs to the kitchen. Once she entered the kitchen, she was greeted by the sight of her little "sister" playing with her food instead of eating it. Kairi softly laughed and placed her bag on the floor, walking over to her little sister.
"Hey sweetie...I don't think that's how you eat cereal." Kairi softly teased.
The little girl looked up from her cereal bowl and smiled when she saw Kairi.
"Kairi! Hi!" The little girl greeted.
"Hey Marie." Kairi greeted.
She was startled when she felt a pair of hands poke both of her sides, causing her to jump a bit and softly shriek out in surprise. Kairi immediately turned around and came face-to-face with her "older brother".
"Emilio! Stop that! You know I hate that!" Kairi said.
"Hahaha, lo siento." Emilio apologized in Spanish.
"Whatever." Kairi muttered.
"Haha. Ready for your first day of school?" Emilio asked, handing his foster sister an apple.
"Thanks...and no. I don't wanna go to MSA. Mom and dad are already working two jobs pay off the rent, I don't want them to pay for my tuition...besides. I don't even know how they found out about me." Kairi said, taking a bite out of the apple.
"I sent them a video of you dancing. And mom and dad don't have to pay much, you're going on a scholarship." Emilio said, leaning against the counter.
"WHAT?! Why did you do that?" Kairi asked, slightly angry.
"Why not? You're a great dancer?" Emilio asked, quirking an eyebrow.
"Yeah! You're a good dancer!" Marie yelled out cutely.
"...thanks...but, I don't know. That's a preppy school...I hate that. Especially once they get a look at me. Hello! Poor, ghetto girl in a rich, snobby school? I don't think so. It'll disrupt their whole fake, plastic, quota system." Kairi muttered angrily.
"Come on...not EVERYONE is like that. What about my man Tyler?" Emilio asked.
"He...he was lucky. He was a janitor before a dancer." Kairi said.
"You're such a hater." Emilio said.
"I am NOT a hater." Kairi argued.
"I'm gonna be there." Emilio assured.
"Yeah...as a DJ and a...ballroom dancer or whatever." Kairi said.
"Interpretive dancer." Emilio corrected.
"Whatever." Kairi replied.
"Sheesh. pessimistic much?" Emilio asked.
Kairi was about to retort but was cut off by her parents. "Emilio, Kairi! Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be getting to school? Both of you?"
"Yeah. We were just leaving right now. Bye." Emilio replied, kissing his mom on the cheek.
"Yeah...bye." Kairi replied, kissing Marie, her mom, and her dad on their cheeks before grabbing her bag and following her brother out the door.
Kairi closed the door and followed her brother to his "baby", a candy paint red Ford Mustang. She got in the car and slammed the door shut just to annoy her brother.
"Damn chica! Watch it will ya? This is..."Emilio started.
"Your BABY...I know, I know." Kairi cut him off.
Emilio rolled his and muttered something incoherently under his breath. He started the car and drove off, heading to their new school.
Kairi looked at the building in front of her: Maryland School of Arts, or MSA for short. She had no idea why she was here, or if she should EVEN be here. All she knew, was that she was supposed to be lucky enough to have gotten a scholarship. She looked at her brother who was unknowingly grinning at her in a mocking way.
"Cayate, pendeho." Kairi mumbled in Spanish.
"What? I didn't even say anything." Emilio said, placing his arm around his sister's shoulders as they walked up the steps of the building.
"You don't have to. I already know what you're gonna say or think." Kairi said.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Come on." Emilio said, opening the doors to the building and entering it with Kairi behind him.
Kairi was greeted by a completely clean, and practically empty and silent hallway. Kairi quirked an eyebrow at this.
"Are we late?" Kairi asked, looking around.
"Dunno. Let's just go. Gotta get to the office." Emilio said.
Kairi just shrugged her shoulders and followed her brother down the hallway, until they came upon a door that said: School Director, Blake Collins. Emilio knocked on the door a few times, waiting for an answer. Kairi softly sighed and crossed her arms as she leaned against the side of the wall next to the door. Emilio was about to knock again until he heard,
"Come in!" coming from the other side of the door.
Emilio turned the knob and pushed open the door, revealing a young man with dark brown eyes and matching short, dark brown hair, sitting behind a polished, wooden desk. Kairi pushed herself off of the wall and followed her brother inside the room. The man motioned for them to sit down, and they sat down on the chairs placed in front of the desk.
"Hello. My name is Director Collins. Welcome to the Maryland School of Arts. Who might you two be?"
"I'm Emilio Santos, and this is my sister, Kairi Ann Namazaki." Emilio greeted.
"Ah, yes. I know you two. Both of you are here on the scholarship, correct?" Director Collins asked.
"Yes." Emilio answered.
Kairi remained silent, but nodded her head instead.
"Well then, here are you're locator cards to your classes. Just so you know...there ARE rules here at MSA." Director Collins said.
"We know." Emilio answered.
Director Collins nodded his head told them that they could leave. Both Emilio and Kairi got up and left the room, looking at their locator cards.
"What do you have right now?" Kairi asked, looking up at her brother.
"Uh...Music Mixing 101 (A/N: Couldn't think of anything else. Sorry.)." Emilio said.
"Seriously? Wow...what a lame course name." Kairi commented.
"Yeah, what about you?" Emilio asked.
"Intermediate Hip Hop...what the...this sounds like a freakin' math course!" Kairi muttered angrily.
"Ha...and you say my course name is bad." Emilio said.
"That's cause it IS bad." Kairi retorted.
"Ouch. Whatever. Let's just go to class alright. I'll see ya during lunch." Emilio said.
Emilio kissed Kairi on the top of her head before leaving her alone in the hallways. Kairi softly sighed as she saw her brother vanish through a corner. She looked around the hallway, trying to find her classroom. She looked at the paper once more to find the room number.
"710." Kairi mumbled, folding the paper and stuffing it in her backpocket.
She shifted her bag a bit, before turning left to find her classroom. After a few minutes of walking around the hallway, Kairi realized that she was lost. She softly cursed and immediately turned around, causing her to bump into another person and falling flat on her butt.
"Ow! Watch where ya goin' next time you jerk!" Kairi said angrily.
"Oh! My bad! Sorry shorty Didn't mean it." The person apologized.
Kairi looked up to see a tall, caucasian man with dirty blonde hair and dark brown eyes. The man was holding his hand out in front of her. Kairi grabbed his hand and he helped her off the floor. She dusted herself off and looked up at the man again.
"Thanks...who are you?" Kairi asked.
"Haha, you're probably new here. Name's Chase, Chase Collins."
"As in...Directors Collins...brother?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah. That's me." Chase answered.
"Oh." Kairi said.
"What's your name?" Chase asked.
"It's Kairi. But I prefer Kai."
"Nice too meet ya. Where ya headed to anyway?" Chase asked.
"Um...710." Kai replied.
"That's where I'm going. Just follow me." Chase said.
Kairi was confused but agreed, and followed Chase to her room. As they were walking, Chase started to talk to her, asking her some questions.
"What is this? 21 Questions?" Kai teased.
"Haha, no. Just curious. What's your major...or minor?" Chase asked.
"Um...dancing?" Kai asked, slightly confused.
"Cool. Me too. So are my friends and my girlfriend." Chase said.
Kai nodded and stopped when Chase stopped in front of a door with the numbers, 710, in black letters. Chase smirked and looked at Kai before opening the door. Kai followed andlooked around the room, seeing about 10 to 20 people in the huge classroom.
It was a pure, polished wooden floor, with full length windows on the walls with rails attached. There were a few people in every corner doing there thing that made them unique and talented. She gave a small smile when she saw a girl close to her age dancing in a not so appropriate way with another girl.
"The one with light brown hair is Andie-she's my girl. The one with black hair is Missy."
"Cool...what do you guys dance to?" Kai asked, following Chase to where his girlfriend and friends were.
"Hip hop, breakdance, that type of stuff." Chase said.
"Hey Chase." Andie called out in a smooth, femininely husky voice that sounded nice.
"Hey." Chase said, kissing her lightly on the lips.
"Hola, chica. Who might you be?" Missy asked.
"Kai."
"Hi, I'm Andie, and that's Missy." Andie introduced.
"Hi." Kai replied.
She turned her head when she saw some people walk over to them.
"Hey you guys! I want you to meet someone. Guys this is Kai, Kai, that's Moose, Sophie, Fly, Jenny, Smiles, Cable, and Monster." Andie introduced.
"Hey." Kai greeted.
"Hey! What are you doing here at MSA?" Moose asked.
"I'm here on a scholarship." Kai said.
"What kind?" Sophie asked.
"Uh, dancing." Kai said.
"Cool! Show us what you got then!" Chase encouraged.
"What?! No...no way. I can't..." Kai started.
"What's wrong? Scared? Or...can't dance?" Chase teased.
"I CAN dance." Kai replied.
"Prove it!" Chase goaded.
"Fine."
