Stupid Girls
Hey guys! Nothing much going on here, just finished my extra long report that I've been working on since Thursday. But now it's finished and I can get back to writing. Um, I probably won't have a lot of homework for a while so that means more time for writing all my stories.
Um last chapter, Andie met Cable and talked to him a bit. She met Taylor and got to listen to Chase dance. Not sure what's gonna happen in this one but I hope you like it.
A/N-This one is named after Pink's song "Stupid Girls" cause it's a great song.
Disclaimer-Don't own Step Up 2, it's probably a good thing I don't.
Andie wished something terrible that she could see Chase. He smelt so good and his voice sent shivers up and down her spine. Sitting up straighter, Andie held out her fist gently.
"Andie," She said softly.
Chase chuckled and banged his fist against hers softly. Biting her lip, Andie returned her attention to the sound of the squeaking shoes on the dance floor. Closing her eyes she tilted her head slightly, this person was off by half a second. Andie couldn't blame them though, this had to be the slowest song she'd ever heard in her life.
"I just wanted to say that you must have some serious balls to do that in front of Blake." Chase said, his voice breaking her concentration.
Raising an eyebrow, Andie turned her head back toward him. He was smirking at her no doubt.
"Thanks," Andie said in a fake cheerful voice.
"You're welcome." He replied matching her voice.
Chuckling to herself, Andie wrapped her arms around her drawn up knees and rested her chin on top of them. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times, making sure that her glasses hadn't slipped down, Andie tucked some of her hair that had come out of her ponytail behind her ear.
"What's your next class Andie?" Chase asked.
"Um, I have no idea." She replied digging into her pocket.
Pulling out her schedule, Andie unfolded it and handed in the direction that she thought Chase was. After a few moments, he took the piece of paper from her.
"Math with Mr. Jackson." He said after a moment. "I've got that class too."
"So does Moose." Andie said suddenly remembering, she blinked in the direction of the front of the class before letting her eye lids close.
"You met Moose?" Chase asked. "Why am I not surprised."
Andie frowned slightly.
"I've got first with him." She said. "He was nice and funny."
"Yep that's Moose alright." Chase said placing her schedule on her knee.
Andie hadn't been expecting that and her hand shot out faster than she meant it too. Her finger tips brushed over the back of his hand and Andie drew her hand away instantly,
"I'm sorry." She muttered at once.
"It's okay." Chase said softly. "No harm done."
Moving her hand back to her knee slowly, Andie grasped her schedule and shoved it back down into her pocket.
"You know," Chase began and Andie turned her head toward him. "You're an amazing little dancer."
Andie's eyes snapped open.
"Little?" She repeated. "Well you know I wouldn't call my dancing little."
She narrowed her eyes as Chase chuckled. She got the feeling he was about to say something else when the bell rang. Andie turned her face up to the ceiling for a moment before heaving a sigh and pushing herself to her feet.
"I'll walk with you to class." Chase said.
Andie heard his shoes start to squeak as he walked away from her and Andie frowned, how was she supposed to follow him? All these different people were moving around her and she felt like she was going to fall even if her feet hadn't left the ground.
"Andie?"
"Hmm?" She muttered bringing her hands up to hold her head gently.
"You okay?" Chase asked, his voice coming close to her again. "You don't look so good."
"I'm okay." She just about groaned, her head spinning even faster as Taylor bumped shoulders with her
"Watch it Taylor." Chase snapped, grabbing Andie's shoulders gently but firmly.
"Wh—where's Aydan?" Andie gasped out.
"Who's Aydan?" Chase asked. "I don't know her."
Swallowing, Andie squeezed her eyes shut willing the feeling of nausea to leave her. Chase's hands on her shoulders calmed her slightly but she still felt as if she was going to fall and she brought her hands up to grip his sides slightly.
"Andie?" Blake's voice floated into her ears. "Are you alright?"
"I—I'm just a little dizzy." She murmured. "Too many people."
Blake had just opened his mouth to ask if he needed to find Aydan when the studio door flew open.
"Andie!"
Aydan got slightly worried when she did not see Andie waiting outside the studio doors. But when she peeked through the windows in the door, she just about panicked at the sight of Andie holding tightly to some tall boys' sides, her face an ugly green color. Hurrying over to the boy she was slightly surprised that he let go of Andie so quickly and moved to let her take hold of her.
"What happened?" She asked both of them.
"Too many people." Andie murmured. "Got dizzy, felt like I was falling."
Aydan reached up and brushed her fingers along her sisters cheek,
"Can I?" She asked tapping the side of Andie's glasses.
"No," Andie shook her head. "I'm okay now, I'm not dizzy anymore."
Biting her lip, Aydan nodded and took a step back. She didn't want to make it worse, but Andie's hands shot out to grab her arms tightly.
"Don't leave me." Andie whispered softly. "Not yet,"
Aydan looked over to Blake when the bell rang, meaning they were late.
"I'll write you a pass." He murmured. "Chase you go to class."
Chase opened his mouth to protest but took one look at Andie and then at Aydan before sighing and nodding. He was at the door when Andie's raspy voice called his name.
"Yea?" He turned to look at her.
She wasn't looking at him, her head was down and her eyes were closed.
"Thanks." She said softly.
Chase sent her a charming smile, unaware that she couldn't see it.
"No problem." He said. "See you in class."
--
As Chase headed to Mr. Jackson's classroom he couldn't help but wonder what had just happened. Why had Andie gotten so dizzy all the sudden? And why did so many people being around her bother her? Chase figured he could ask her later in class or maybe at lunch if she and Aydan wanted to sit with them.
When he got to Mr. Jackson's class he wrenched opened the door and stepped in. Mr. Jackson, who was writing on the board, stopped to see who had entered the class. He rolled his eyes at the sight of Chase.
"Explanation?" He asked tiredly.
Chase smirked.
"It will be coming along in a few minutes." He replied.
"Is that code for you have to think of one?" Mr. Jackson asked.
Chase shook his head,
"No, I'm serious." He walked over to his desk and sat down. "My explanation for the reason I'm late will be here in a few minutes."
Shaking his head, Mr. Jackson turned back to the board and started to write.
Taking out a notebook, Chase started to copy down the problems on the board. He watched as Moose flicked a paper note over to his desk. Unfolding it with one hand while continuing to write with the other, Chase glanced down at his friends scribble like writing.
Where were u?
Smirking, Chase looked up at Moose and looked at the door. Wondering how long it was going to take Andie, Chase scribbled something back and flicked the paper back across the desk. Moments later, the paper landed in front of him again.
Is Andie okay though?
Looking at Moose, Chase nodded and seconds later the door opened to reveal that he was right.
--
Aydan grimaced as the whole class turned to look at her and Andie as they entered the room. She felt Andie grip her hand a little tighter and she squeezed it gently.
"Can I help you?" The teacher at the board asked.
"My names Aydan this is my sister Andie." Aydan said quietly. "She's got your class this period and we had a little bit of trouble finding your room, so that's why she's late."
Mr. Jackson nodded.
"It's nice to meet you Aydan and Andie," He turned to look at the class. "We've got a seat for you right next to Mr. Collins."
--
Chase thought his smile was gonna rip his face in half, he watched as Aydan led Andie over to the desk. His eyes stayed locked on their interlocked hands and he tilted his head slightly. Was Aydan Andie's girlfriend?
"Hey Chase," Andie said smirking slightly as she took a seat next to him.
"Hiya Andie." He said. "It's been a while huh?"
He thought he saw Andie roll her eyes behind her sunglasses.
"Yea." She nodded. "Thought I'd never see you again."
Chuckling, Chase looked up at Aydan who was watching the two of them with a slight smile.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing," She shook her head. "I'm gonna go now, see you after class D."
Chase watched her squeeze Andie's hand before turning and leaving the classroom. When the door shut, Chase turned to look at Andie. She was sitting with her hands clasped on the top of the desk and her head slowly turning from side to side.
"You and Aydan," Chase started quietly. "You two aren't together are you?"
--
Chuckling, Andie shook her head.
"You're the second person to ask me that today." She said. "No, we're not together. She's my little sister, we're twins and I'm older by two minutes."
When Chase didn't say anything else, Andie assumed he was done talking to her. However when a piece of paper hit her hands, she frowned. Running her hands over the paper, Andie bit her lip.
"Do you have a pen?" She asked him.
"Yes," Chase said slowly. "Why?"
"Go over what you wrote to me in pen." She said pushing the paper back to him.
Andie was surprised that Chase actually took the paper back from her and she heard him unzip his backpack as well. She was sure that he gave her a confused look but she couldn't read the note if it wasn't in pen.
Listening to the sound of his pen slide across the paper, Andie figured that soon she was either going to have to tell Chase that she was blind or he was going to think that she was a retard.
"Here." He said after a moment and Andie picked up the paper.
Turning it over, she felt along the back for a moment. Her fingers touching the indentations that the pen had made. She smiled as his note started to come together in her head.
What are you doing for lunch?
Taking a pen from the front pocket of her backpack, Andie scribbled on the paper before pushing it back to Chase.
I have no idea, why?
Andie didn't have to wait long because soon the feel of paper was on the top of her hand and she grabbed it before turning it over and repeated her previous actions.
If you and Aydan want you can come and sit with me and my crew
Andie's eyebrows shot up and she held back a giggle.
You've got a crew?
She swallowed her laughter, there was no way any of these professionals were going to step out of their prefect little worlds to do something that was technically illegal.
Yes, I got a crew. Why is that funny? I see you trying not to laugh.
Andie smiled brightly and shook her head.
It just is, I'm sorry I don't mean to laugh at you though.
Burying her face in her hands, Andie calmed her laughter down enough so that she would start laughing out loud and get looks from everyone like she was crazy.
It's okay but Andie, can I ask you something?
Tilting her head curiously as her fingers ran over the backwards words, Andie nodded to no one.
Sure Boy Band
She didn't know why but the nickname seemed to fit him and she decided right then and there that she would call him that. At least if he was okay with it she would.
Boy Band? That's not what I wanted to ask though, I was wondering….why you do that?
Andie frowned.
Do…what?
--
Chase read her message and sighed, hoping that she wouldn't get mad at him for asking but it had been striking his curiosity since he first met her.
Why do you flip the page over and feel the backwards words?
Pushing the paper back to Andie, he watched her flip the page and run her slender fingers over the back like she'd been doing. Then he watched her face as a small smile formed on her lips.
Because I can't read the words if I don't.
Chase frowned,
I don't understand.
What did she mean she couldn't read the words if she didn't? Chase's frown deepened, he was really confused right now. He watched Andie hesitate for a moment before she wrote something down. Then she passed the paper back and Chase would have sworn she hesitated about doing that as well.
I can only read brail and since you don't know how to write in brail when feeling the indentations on the back of the paper is as close as I'm going to get.
Chase started at the paper for a moment.
Brail?
--
Chuckling, Andie moved to write back but just as she did the bell rang. Taking the paper and shoving it down into her pocket, Andie turned to look at Chase.
"Lunch is finally here." She said smiling. "Praise the lord."
She turned to the right slightly and smirked, when she heard tennis shoes squeak and the sweet smell of Candy Canes filled her nose.
"Hey Moose." She said.
"Hey Andie." Moose replied. "You okay?"
Andie frowned.
"Course I am." She tilted her head. "Why wouldn't I be?"
She completely missed Chase and Moose sharing a look but all too soon, Moose suddenly grabbed her arm.
"Come on, if we're lucky we might get in the lunch line first!"
Andie didn't have time to protest before suddenly she was running. Her feet stumbled and she really felt as if she was going to fall.
"M-Moose!" She exclaimed. "Slow down, I'm gonna fall!"
"Don't worry!" Moose yelled back. "I won't let you."
Stumbling, Andie closed her eyes tightly, willing herself not to fall. And just as fast as they had started running, they stopped. Andie ran into Moose's back and groaned.
"Are we there yet?" She asked.
Suddenly she smelt peppermint and she let go of Moose's hand.
"Cable!" Stepping back so that they were side by side, Andie took his hand tightly in hers.
"You okay Andie?" He asked, his voice laced with concern.
Andie didn't answer, they were in a very crowded place. People were everywhere and they were all talking loudly. Squeezing her eyes shut tightly, Andie tried to listen for the ring of Aydan's ankle bracelet. But she couldn't hear it in all, biting her lip Andie held tighter to Cable's hand.
"You okay Sunshine?"
Andie turned to the right and smiled when burning wood and apples came to her nose. She let go of Cable's hand and gripped the sleeve of Chase's shirt.
"I need to go outside." She told him quietly. "Can you take me?"
--
Notice the slight fear in her voice and he nodded. Turning, he moved to walk towards the courtyard when Andie's hand suddenly took hold of his. He paused for a moment to stare at their joined hands in slight shock. He tried to meet her eyes but he couldn't see them since the sunglasses got in the way.
"What's wrong?" Andie asked.
"Nothing," Chase said. "Come on let's get out of here."
He led Andie quickly through the crowded lunchroom and out into the courtyard. He saw that his crews table was empty and he pulled Andie over to it.
"Here we are." He said smirking. "Far away from people."
Rolling her eyes, Andie ran her fingers gently along the wood table and across the seat. Chase watched her intently and after a moment or two he gently pulled at her index and middle finger.
"You gonna sit down Sunshine?" He asked.
Andie nodded for a moment before slowly and carefully taking a seat on the bench. She folded her arms on the table and put her head down, letting a tired sigh escape her lips.
"You okay?" Chase asked.
Andie lifted her head and turned it towards him.
"Yea, I'm better now." She said. "I just don't like to be around that many people when I'm not focusing on dancing."
Chase nodded, reaching up to brush as stand of hair away from her face. Andie jumped about a foot in the air and caught his wrist just as he tried to pull it back.
"I'm sorry." He said. "I shouldn't have—."
"It's okay." Andie said. "I just wasn't expecting it and I don't really like people getting near my eyes."
Chase nodded.
"I understand," He paused. "But still I shouldn't have."
"It's okay, Chase." She said. "It's just a side affect that comes with being blind."
Haha! Cliffhanger! Sorry guys, but I couldn't help myself. It was too tempting to pass up lol.
A/N-Hmm I can't believe that I kept her blindness hidden that long, though I thought about her telling him when they were writing the note.
Reviews keep my fingers typing chapters!
