Dancing Girl
Puck was sweating like shit! Coach Beast made them run 20 rounds and throw footballs at each other for the next half an hour. His legs were sour and he stank like a dog. But he was cool with it. It did him good. And he had to smirk at the thought of girls checking him out, because of his Greek body.
After a hell long time, coach finally send them home and screamed at them to put more energy into the play. Of course they just laughed behind her back, but also knew that they will follow her orders.
The whole team was finally in the locker room, showering or changing. Puck has already showered and smelled like god. The boys were laughing and playing around, while taking their time to change.
''Yo! Puck! How is it going?'' asked Karofsky with a smirk on his face, so that everyone knew what he meant. Of course Puck had to laugh at that and gave him a high five: ''Man, I have to rush. I have a study hour, you know.'' ''A study hour, you say?'' the other boy laughed and boxed him playfully in the shoulder. ''Keep it save, buddy. And don't forget – report! Facebook. Today in the evening.'' Again everyone laughed and Puck used the time to change into clean clothes.
He was ready.
''Ok, I'm gone!'' he called and got out of the room, laughing at the whistles his friends send after him. He slowly made his way to the auditorium. Rachel still had dancing class, so he could well enough wait for her in there. As far as he knew, dancing classes had their lessons in the auditorium now, because they needed to get used to the stage.
The cool boy walked relaxed through the halls, surprised at how empty the school already was, and made his way to the auditorium. He heard the loud dancing music even before he got there and was surprised that the door was fully open. It seems everyone can watch as they please – not that anyone would be here at this hour, except the dancers.
He peeked inside the dark auditorium and saw some people on the stage. He went in unnoticed and found a seat somewhere in the middle of the place, where no one could see him.
He sat down and watched the performance on stage. There was a blonde girl dancing some slow crapy dance he did not like, and it seemed as if the dancing coach did not like it too. ''Stop, stop, stop! Turn down the music!'' And the slow music was gone. ''Diana, the dance was ok, and your steps were alright, but the way you dance- there's just no feeling! I mean, ok, it's good, kind of, but you have to throw yourself into the music. You're stiff like a board! Right now you suck!'' the woman shouted, making the blonde girl quiet. She was harsh, but she was right. ''You're good, Diana, but you have to relax. Just take it slowly.'' the coach calmed down and put her hand on the girl's shoulder. Diana smiled weakly at her and nodded. She stepped aside and sat down, somewhere behind on the stage.
Puck gulped. Even their coach was not that harsh. How did Rachel take this?
''Berry!'' the coach screamed and Rachel appeared from somewhere. Puck's eyes widened. The girl had joga shorts and a T-shirt on. And it fitted her perfectly. And it showed her curves. ''Damn.'' he whispered and had to calm down, because it got a bit hot.
''Show them how to dance!'' the coach continued and went from the stage to have a better view.
Music started to play: .com/watch?v=vd4cs9Ox2_8
Puck recognized it right away. It was T-Pain ft. Teddy Verseti – Church. Of course he saw Step up 2 some years ago, the movie's cool! And he could not believe that they will dance on this song! It's freaking fast! And it is break dancing!
He saw Rachel and two girls run in the middle of the stage and stand in a triangle – Rachel in the front and the other two behind. The girls laughed as the music started, playing around like they did not know to dance, but Puck knew that this was part of the choreography.
With the first real words in the music, their expressions changed and all of them made a rough move with the arms. Their bodies were tense and they moved with the beat, like really flexible.
And then it just went on. They moved fast and flexible, but at the same time rough with the beat. Rachel was the centre of attention. She was excellent.
She moved her hips and her hands in rhythm; her abdomen was seductively moving in circles showing of her muscles. She made fast Drop-Spin-Drops and changed to Outlaw Spin. At the rough 'edges' of music notes, she made quick Hip Twists. All the girls made a lot of other moves he did not even know the name of and Puck almost lost his mouth.
When the music was at its end, Rachel made a Power Step Hop and then jumped high in the air, pushing her chest out, her legs contracted back, her hands holding her ankles – and then she landed on the ground elegantly. At the final note, all three girls threw themselves to the floor and like dead.
Puck was shocked. No... He was ... he was ... He did not even know what. It was amazing! It was just ... just ... wou!
He was thrown out of his thoughts, when the coach clapped: ''You all saw that? This is what I'm talking about! The moves are rough and tough, but express the person's personality at the same time! You saw all three girls; Michelle is the sexy one, Jane the tomboyish one, and Rachel the innocent one – she is the centre, because she falls out of her usual image and becomes dirty. That is what I want from you! Show me, what you are hiding inside! Help each other and ask how to do it! Find out who you are dammit!'' The woman was pretty hot-headed and liked to scream, Puck noticed. She knew what she was talking about. He liked that.
''Class is over! See you next time and don't forget – we're mixing ballet moves and hip-hop! Stretch your legs before class next time'' she called and the girls finally relaxed. Some of them smiled and started to talk about random things with each other, some stretched their muscles to cool down and others just jumped from the stage and left to the showers.
Puck noticed Rachel laughing and talking with the two girls that were dancing with her. All three were stretching their muscles, not noticing him. The boy was about to stand up and go to them, when he noticed the coach approach the girls. He stopped in the movement and waited.
''Rachel!'' the girls looked up and noticed the serious look on their coach's face. Michelle and Jane bid their goodbye to Rachel and jumped down the stage, going to the showers.
''I have something for you, Rachel.'' the older woman started, finally smiling at her. Puck noticed the gentle expression she was wearing, while looking at a surprised Rachel. He listened carefully.
''I send the recommendation and the video of one of your dances, as you asked me a couple of months ago.'' the woman looked proud at her student and both Rachel and Puck finally got the message of what she was talking about.
''O my god... Don't tell me they...'' Rachel put her hands on her mouth, almost not believing what her coach was about to say.
''Yeah, of course it's true. Don't tell me you didn't expect it?'' The girl just looked at her coach with her big brown eyes, shaking her head. Her coach sighed and continued: ''Rachel, you are the best dancer I have ever taught and I have to say this – I'm not the only one who thinks that you have it in you. They replied back that you'll get the dancing scholarship if you continue like this. Just don't drop your grades. Well, as if that will ever happen.'' The woman laughed and watched amused how Rachel facial expressions changed in a second.
Puck who still listened, was astound.
Like, really surprised.
After watching Rachel, he just had to smirk and waited patiently for her outburst. And it came earlier as expected.
''Oh my gooooooooood!'' she screamed in a high pitchy voice, jumping on place. ''They accepted me!'' Her coach laughed as she saw Rachel pirouetting and jumping on stage. She laughed even harder, when the girl made a somersault from the stage to the ground without a sweat.
Puck laughed to himself, when he saw her. She really was different. A flexible girl with a lot of skill. She was bubbly and happy. Just like any other girl. She just did not show it often.
Ok. He did not really think that. Yeah, she was an excellent dancer, but still a wannabe crazy loud-mouthed bitch who had to learn her lesson.
Keep it cool Puck.
Keep it cool.
''Ok girl. I'll leave you alone to drown in your happiness, because I'm hungry. Keep it up Rachel. See you next time.'' said the woman and made her way out. She did not notice Puck still sitting on one of the chairs.
Rachel was left alone in the auditorium, grinning to herself like crazy and still making some dance moves, while collecting her things. She was so happy! So happy! Her fathers will be so proud! She slowly made her way out to the showers.
Puck patiently waited for her outside of the changing room, looking at his phone. When the doors finally opened, he came face to face with a surprised Rachel, fresh out of the shower and wearing her usual clothes and giving off a pleasant scent.
''Fuck, you're a genius, Berry!'' Puck called, after he regained his composure. Rachel looked at him surprised and blushed a bit, turning her head down: ''Don't tell me, you were watching us?'' Puck smirked at her embarrassment and nudged her in the shoulder: ''It's cool, girl. You were awesome! Your moves are just wou! I almost lost my shit there!''
Rachel looked at him again, curious: ''You did what?'' He figured out that she really did not understand what he said. So he smirked and made some moves with his hip – of course she got the message and went red like a tomato. ''Ahem, let's just go to the library.''
