Just wanted to say that, in this fic, Dani's original songs will be Demi Lovato's ACTUAL songs. Just wanted to say that, Enjoy!
Everyone applauded at Rachel's performance of, Defying Gravity. Dani wasn't really interested in Broadway style music though. Dani loved listening to Rock n' Roll, but she liked to write and sing different songs. She doesn't like the words "Pop Music" to describe her style. Dani threw a peace of paper at Rachel to get her attention. "Nice voice." Dani whispered. Rachel smiled and then faced Mr. Schu. "Dani would you like to go maybe?" Dani sort off jerked upright and her eyes got bigger. "Uh me?" Mr. Schu nodded. "You don't have to of course, I know it's your first day but, let's call it your first impression." Dani isn't afraid to sing in front of people but, it will be hard to sing after Rachel's performance and not be considered 'average'.
"Would it be okay if I sang an original?" Everyone looked surprised, or just excited, she couldn't tell. Mr. Schu nodded, "Sure, whatever you want." Dani got up and gave a nervous smile and then walked to the band. Dani pointed to one of the boy's guitars. "Can I borrow that?" The boy shook his head yes, and handed it to her. Dani began strumming and then sang her song, Warrior.
* This is a story that I have never told.
Gotta get this off my chest to let it go.
I need to take back the light inside you stole,
you're a criminal. And you steal like you're a pro.*
Everybody was hooked on her song after the first few seconds. Dani looked up at the crowd as she sang. Brittany and Santana were into it, Rachel, the Blonde guy, everybody. Dani liked this feeling, whatever it was. And then by the chorus, people were really into it.
* Now I'm a Warrior, now I got thicker skin.
I'm a Warrior, I'm stronger than I've ever been.
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in.
I'm a Warrior. And you can never hurt me again.*
Once Dani finished her song, it was quiet for a few seconds, and then everybody applauded. Brittany and Rachel looked like they were about to cry. And then all of a sudden, Brittany kissed Santana on the lips. And then Dani had a moment of time being frozen...
INSIDE DANI'S HEAD_
Okay, so Santana is dating Brittany? Why didn't I notice this? How could I not notice this? I thought the whole holding pinkies thing was a best friend kinda thing! It never is the friend kinda thing, and I sort of flirted with her when we first met, I can't do this, not again. I am so-
"Dani..." A faint voice said. "Dani!" Dani sprung out of her thoughts. "Huh?" Dani then realized she was still in the chair. "Oh..." Dani then scurried to her seat. Santana touched her shoulder. "You have a great voice, and great lyrics. I thought you would be more..." Dani put her hand out in signal to stop trying to find the word. "Rock n' Roll?" Santana nodded and shrugged. "Rock n' Roll really isn't in my vocal ability, thingy." Santana smiled and so did Dani. The bell rang, so Dani turned around to see Rachel standing in front of her, looking excited. "You have an amazing voice Dani!" Rachel then looped her arm with Dani's. "I think we will be great friends!" Dani smiled and said, "Great friends..."
Rachel still had her arm looped through Dani's as they walked to lunch. "So, Dani, have your eye on a guy yet? Or are you taken?" Dani laughed a little bit. "Firstly, I don't like guys, and secondly, I left someone back home." Rachel made an O shape with her mouth. "Oh okay. Wait, what do you mean you don't like guys?" Dani thought this conversation was funny. "I mean, I'm gay?" Rachel stopped. Dani just looked like she wanted to go to lunch now. "So you're like, a lesbian?" Dani nodded and jumped up and down. "Can I get food now, or are you still going to keep me on a leash?" Rachel touched her head with both hands. "Oh my God... I now have TWO gay best friends!?" Rachel clapped her hands a couple times in excitement and continued to keep Dani on a "leash" as they walked to the cafeteria.
