HEART'S MUSIC CHAPTER 3
A/N this is where things get interesting… The last 2 chapters were kinda of boring but were defiantly necessary…
It was now a 2 weeks after I joined New Directions, and they were actually pretty cool. Santana did come around, kind of, though she was still mean sometimes. Mr. Shue had a date with Ms. Pillsbury, so he said we could just skip Glee club today. So new Directions decided to go the Lima Bean and just... chill.
I flopped on one of the cushioned chairs and let out of over-exaggerated sigh of relief. "Be a doll, and get me a Caramel light, Fish?" Finn glared at me, but nodded. (A/N Did I already establish that Fish is Anastasia's nickname for Finn? I can't remember.) "Thanks." I closed my eyes, only meaning to rest for a little bit. I woke with a start to hot coffee being pressed to my face.
"Fudge sticks!" I yelled, punching my arms out like a crazy person. New Directions laughed, and Puck dodged my flailing limbs. I glared at him, which he cheerfully ignored. "Give me my coffee." I grabbed it from his shaking hands. I took a large amount in my mouth and spit it out on him.
"Hey!" Puck wiped his eyes and shook off the coffee. "You are so gonna pay for that." He gave me a mischievous grin, which I returned. I stood up and he charged at me. I ducked under his arm and kicked the back of his knee. He sagged and while he was down I grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back.
I grinned at his incredulous expression, and the other New Directions shocked faces. It was quiets for a moment before Santana spoke up.
"I knew there was a reason I liked you."
"How did you do that?"
"Where'd you learn that?"
"That was awesome!"
"I've taken boxing, karate, martial arts, kick boxing, and gymnastics since I was, like, five." I answered. I released Puck from my hold and he rubbed his arm.
"Damn." He said. "You got moves." I laughed and sat back down on the chair. I began drinking my coffee, but nearly spit it out when something started vibrating.
"Stupid phone!" I dug my phone out of my boot. The number wasn't any that I recognized.
"You keep your phone in your shoe?" Someone asked. I ignored them.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is this Anastasia?" A soft voice asked. I narrowed my eyes.
"Yes…"
"It's Riley." I gasped. I stared at Kurt.
"Riley?" Kurt's eyes widened.
"I just said that, didn't I?" She giggled. "How's life 'over yonder'?" She burst into hysterics at her own joke.
"Yeah I guess you did." I mouthed 'Bathroom' at Kurt and he pointed to the back towards the front of the shop, near the counter where you order. I hurried over. "It's pretty good. I made some new friends when I joined the Glee club at my school. And Finn's step-brother is really cool."
"That's good, but what's a Glee Club?"
"It's kind of like a choir, but different." I tried explaining. "I'm not that good at explaining things remember? Don't ask me." We both laughed. We talked for a while before Riley had to leave.
"I'll call you later." She promised before hanging up. I stuffed my phone back in my boot and walked out of the bathroom. There were 3 more boys with blazers sitting with new Directions than when I left; and one was sitting in my seat. My seat. In honor of Mercedes; hello to the no.
"You're sitting in my seat." I stated flatly. He guy in my chair was blonde and he was currently in an animated conversation with Blaine. The other 2 boys were talking to Kurt and Rachel. The blonde one was startled and his legs that were on the table, hit my coffee, knocking it all over the floor. "And you knocked over my coffee. You better be buying me a new one." I glared at him. His eyes were wide as he stared at me.
"H-hi." He said. "I'm Jeff." He stuck his hand out and smiled widely at me.
"Anastasia." I stared at his hand until he dropped it. "Now are you gonna get me my coffee, or do I have to make you?" The Asian boy in the blazer laughed.
"How are you gonna make him get you a coffee?" The black boy next to him smiled a bit, as if me being able to kicks their butts into next Thursday was hilarious.
"Easy." My arm shot out and grabbed Jeff's arm and he gave a yelp of surprise. I ripped his arm around his the same way I did to Puck. I kicked his leg and guided him to the ground, pressing the side of his face against the glass of the table. I managed to put his face on the small spot that wasn't covered in Caramel Light Frappuccino. All three of the blazered boys were staring at me in shock. Well, not Jeff, since his face was being pressed in the table, but his eyes were wide.
"Holy crap!" The dark skinned one exclaimed. "I'm David and that's Wes. That was amazing!" I smiled.
"So I've been told." I let go of Jeff, who just turned around and stared at me some more. "Are you going to get my coffee?" He took off at a fast pace towards the line. I sat down in my chair and laid my head on the arm.
"So why are you guys all dressed up?" I asked David and Wes.
"We're not dressed up." Wes said, smiling. "It's our school uniform. We go to Dalton Academy." That name sounds so familiar…
"That's where Kurt and I used to go to school!" Blaine piped up. "It's in Westerville." I gave the 2 boys confused looks.
"Then what are you guys doing here?"
"Kurt texted us and told us you guys would be here." David replied. "Nick had some kind of family thing, so he couldn't come. I'm surprised Jeff came without him!" Kurt and Blaine laughed.
"Those 2 are attached at the hip." Kurt explained, seeing my confused look.
"I bet Jeff glad he came now." Wes smirked at me just as Jeff came running back, practically shoving the coffee in my face.
"Thanks." I sipped at my drink. Jeff continued to stand there, staring at me. The boys snickered at him, even the McKinley ones. "Can I help you?" He shook his head.
"Just, you know, enjoying the view." He replied. I choked on my coffee. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Finn stand up menacingly, but Rachel pulled him down. Wes, David and Blaine looked at him shocked. Kurt and Puck looked amused, while Finn just look like he wanted to out-right murder Jeff. But the girls, unfortunately, weren't paying attention to what Jeff said; they were too busy staring at me.
"Are you blushing?" Mercedes stage-whispered. "She's blushing!" This of course made me blush more.
"Shut up!" I dug my phone out and started playing Temple Run. I tried ignoring the girls, and I almost did, until Brittany said, "Does Jeff like Kitty?" The Dalton boys exchanged confused looks. I could practically hear their thoughts, who's Kitty?
"Yeah, Britt," Santana answered. "He thinks Kitty's smokin'."
"Kitty's on fire?" Brittany started panicking.
"No, Britt, Jeff think's Kitty's hot." Santana reassured her.
"Who's Kitty?" Wes asked looking really confused.
"Wait." Brittany said. "I thought Jeff was a dolphin, too?"
"No, sweetie," Mercedes answered. "Not all boys that go to Dalton are dolphins." Brittany nodded in understanding.
"I'm seriously confused now." David exclaimed.
"Story of my life." I answered. I exited out of the games and shoved my phone back in my shoe.
"Brittany calls Anastasia Kitty." Kurt explained, putting a calming hand on David's arm. "And a dolphin is someone who is gay." The boys seemed to get the major point, but Jeff had this look on his face.
"Why does she call you Kitty?" He asked me. I open my mouth to answer, but Brittany beat me to it.
"Well, I thought she was a cat," Brittany explained. "But she said she wasn't."
"Why did you think she was a cat?"
"Because she has eyes like a cat's." At this, Jeff turned to look at me. "And her hair is black and really soft." Jeff nodded, but I could tell he didn't really get what she was saying.
Wes looked at his watch. "Shoot. We better get going if we're going to make curfew." They waved at us as they left, but Jeff gave me a secretive smile. As soon as they were out the door the girls and Kurt surrounded me, making me feel slight claustrophobic.
"Jeff liiikkkkesss yoouu!" Tina sang giggling. Quinn, Rachel, Mercedes and Sugar laughed at that. Santana leaned towards me.
"Don't tell me you don't want to tap that." She whispered in my ear. "Cos that would be a waste of fine ass." I blushed again.
"I've never seen you blush before, Kitty!" Brittany exclaimed smiling at me innocently. "You look cute!" I laughed.
"Thanks, I guess." I stood up and stretched my arms. "I'm pooped. Kurt, are we leaving yet?" He nodded and went to get Blaine from the group of boys.
"Come on."
The next few days at school were filled with teasing remarks and 'star struck' glances. I managed to punch a few of the guys in the arm before they made sure to do it more than an arm's length away from me.
On Friday, a giggling Kurt and a smiling like-I-know-something-you-don't Blaine came up to me.
"Hello, Anastasia." Kurt said in a formal way. "Please follow us." Of course the please was just there for display. Both Blaine and Kurt grabbed my forearms and began dragging me back to where they came from. I didn't really struggle, but I did shift my arms a bit, I mean, it was like they were trying to give me an Indian Burn or something.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked. I stumbled a bit over something on the ground, but it probably was a crack or something.
"Places." Kurt replied. Blaine shot him a look.
"You'll see. It's a surprise!" I tripped again, and the boys had to haul me up this time; which is good because I was wearing my hot pink leggings today and it would've gotten all dirty. They took me to the courtyard with the concrete bleachers and sat me on one of the tables.
"Stay here." Kurt said. I went to stand up, but one glare from Kurt had me sitting right back down. Martial Arts or not, you do not want to face Kurt Hummel's wrath. "Just stay here and you'll see why." Blaine reached his hand out and Kurt slipped his in. They quickly walked off, leaving by myself, like a loner. Man, I used to be used to feeling like a loner, but these days, with the Glee kids, I haven't felt like loner. I'm still not sure if that's a good thing or not…
I started humming the Batman Theme song. Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na, Batman! Batman! Suddenly, music started playing. Well not music, but hums and noises that sound like the only acapella group within a 20 mile radius.
I spun in my seat, eyes wide, as about 15-20 uniformed guys came running down the giant concrete stairs. I spotted Jeff as he walked ahead of everyone else, and Wes and David were right behind him.
"Umm." I blinked. "What are you guys doing?" Jeff smiled at me, while David winked. What the French toast is going on? Then Jeff started singing.
I threw a wish in the well,
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
And now you're in my way
Oh dear God. What is he doing?
I'd trade my soul for a wish,
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this,
But now you're in my way
Your stare was holdin',
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Some of the other Warblers held up signs that I hadn't known they were holding. Each one had a number on it, expect one of them had a dash on it. 649-7330
It's hard to look right,
At you baby,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
Try to chase me,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all,
But still, you're in my way
I beg, and borrow and steal
Have foresight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it,
But it's in my way
Your stare was holdin',
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,
At you baby,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
Try to chase me,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right,
At you baby,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
Try to chase me,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me, maybe?
I walked up to Jeff, who actually looked a little scared. I grabbed a pen he had in the pocket of his blazer and wrote down the number.
"Maybe." I said and walked off. After all, Jeff is kinda cute…
Hey! So i finally uploaded, and I think this time I uploaded faster than last time, so YAY! But yeah, reveiw, Please!
