Ho to the hoho. Close to Christmas and my christmas spirit is going wild. Next chapter might or might not be a Christmas related one heheh. Chapter 8 is here for you. Thanks for sticking around with me even though I suck at updating quickly! Love you all!

"No. Hey come on" I said trying to get away from Mike's lips "Mike stop it someone might hear us" I laughed as he moved his lips to my neck kissing me passionately.

"No one will hear us come on" he wrapped his hands harder around me and almost lifted me from the ground making me giggle.

"Mike we don't have time to play. We have to go to class" I tried to get away from him but he pressed me on the wall and moved his face in front of mine.

"Mrs. July is always late these days" he reminded me while pecking my lips sweetly.

"Yes but our friends are there and I guess we are the only ones that are missing so we have to go. They will start asking…" I raised my eyebrow and he stopped defeated.

"Alright, damn it. And it felt so good" he complained and I pecked his lips one more time before getting out of the empty classroom so I could find my way to Mrs. July's class. As I entered the classroom I saw my friends waving at me and I went quickly towards them.

"Hey guys. What's up?" I asked and I saw Santana looking at me with a smile.

"Wanky" she commented and Sam raised his eyebrows at me.

"What?"

"Hey sexy lady" Blaine greeted me and Kurt giggled.

"You look amazing" said Mercedes and I smiled. I was currently wearing a black dress that fitted exactly to my body and it was kinda short and strapless. My friends had come all to see the choreos Mrs. July had assigned us to do. I, Mike, Blaine, Sam and Brittany were the ones from the gang who were going to dance and there were some other upper-class students who had come to see our "show". I saw Mrs. Tibideaux entering the classroom and my eyes widened.

"Is she going to be here too?" I asked horrified but no one answered me.

"Where is Mike?" asked Rachel and I shrugged.

The moment she asked, Mike entered the classroom talking to Mrs. July. She looked at me and I lowered my eyes to the ground for some kind of reason. Her look was pointing.

"What did you tell her?" I whispered at Mike when he sat next to me and he smiled.

"Nothing" he responded making me raise my eyebows "Don't worry I just told her our choreography is kinda different than what she had ordered us"

"Great. And that should make me feel good?"

"Yeah, don't worry. Everything's ok" he reasured me and I exhaled hard.

"Easy to say so"

Mrs. July whispered something to Mrs. Tibideaux and when she nodded she went to the center of the class facing us all. She looked kinda tired, her eyes had dark shades under them but she still looked beautiful.

"Alright" she said and my arms started shaking "Today as you know is the day you have to show us your choreographies. You were supposed to make a choreography with only your partner but some of you decided to disobey me. Let's see if they were right to disobey their teacher who knows more and had a reason to tell them to do a partnership and not a group choreography" she looked at us and I felt my face turning red from shame. Mike was still grinning not caring a bit about her sayings. She made us a sign to get up and I saw Rachel looking at me with a raised eyebrow. I got up and I felt my legs turning to liquid. I took my place a couple of meters away from Mike and looked at him uncertain. He winked at me and the music started.

He moved first as always and made a turn reaching me. When his hand touched my face I started moving too making several turns till he caught me and raised me slowly up in the air. With a quick move he let me down and we began dancing around each other as the rest of the dancers surrounded us. The choreography had a lot of splits, turns, lifts that at first I thought I would throw up. But I made it. All this exercise, the hard work, the long hours preparing, the splits he always made me do, his comments at how to help him not carry all of my weight were there. They gave us a special something and when the last step made my face go close to his and his hand rested on my waist making me let go of myself and let him carry my weight as he held me down I felt my body so powerful. Usually I kept complaining how much it hurt doing all these stuff and that my body couldn't take it but of course it wasn't true.

I could do all this stuff. Mike helped me do it. He was my strength and my help.

He made me feel as if I was able to do everything.

The room was silent for a while and then I heard them clapping and cheering so my breathless body finally relaxed and a huge smile appeared in my mouth. Mike lifted me and hugged me tight turning me around grinning.

"I told you, you could do it" he kissed the top of my head and I laughed from joy. I turned to see my friends cheering at us and I smiled widely at them. I saw Mrs. Tibideaux clapping slowly and my smile droped when Mrs. July got up. Her face was serious.

"That was amazing. I have to say it. It was very good. I wouldn't expect anything else from you Chang" she said and it was clear that she was talking to Mike "I'm sorry I mean boy Chang... Although girl Chang wasn't bad as well. All I want to know is why you didn't leave this choreography for the next project which is indeed a group choreography and you decided to disobey me" she said and Mike answered before I could say sorry or something else to apologize.

"Because she could do it. I knew she was able to do it so I pushed for it. I would do it with every other partner I would see that was able to handle this much of a choreography. And I didn't quite dissobey. You were going to check if we could do a two partner choreography. I danced with Tina the whole time. I didn't touch any other of the girls and neither did Tina with the boys. Basically it was a two partners choreography with a little background effect. It would be the same to do this choreography with a video of dancing people behind us" he smiled and I saw Mr.s July raise her eyebrow.

"I see. I like your point. And as always you were very good. This is your thing. As for lady Chang here..." she turned to look at me and I started chewing my lower lip "How long have you been practising to do all that stuff?"

"I- It's been one and a half months or two.. Basically, a couple of days after you announced the project"

"And you accepted immediately to participate in something so hard?"

"It was kinda her idea to be honest" said Mike and I huffed.

"Yeah.. uh.. I asked him to do something a little more complex and he mentioned we could do something like that so... yeah" I looked at Mike and Mrs. July nodded.

"Very well. You can sit" she ordered and I went immediately to sit next to my friends who all welcomed me with a hug or a sweet word of how amazing we were. The rest of the hour passed quickly with many couples dancing. Blaine was great too, even thought his partner was constantly looking at him with a flirtious smile that was not at all needed.

"I'll burn this bitch" whispered Kurt when the choreography ended and I giggled "Did you have fun?" he asked Blaine when he sat down and Blaine looked at him with a pointing look that said: Are you serious?

"And that was the last choreography for today. You all did ok but you need a lot of work still. We will see what you can do in the group choreographies that are due to next month. I hope this time some of you won't decide to make a whole theatrical performance because of the fact that they aren't satisfied with just a group performance" she said looking at us smiling and I looked on the ground smiling too. Mike grinned shrugging his shoulders theatrically "If Mrs. Tibideaux doesn't have anything else to add, I call it a day"

"I do have to say something actually" Mrs. Tibideaux got up from her seat and moved to the center of the classroom "I am planning our christmas performance. This time it won't be just a competition but also a whole theatrical performance. I will give you choices of songs and we will have to prepare a performance with those songs in an order I will decide. It will be a whole singing, dancing and acting performance but only people I will choose, will participate like in every other competition. And I have reached my conclusion. Soon some of you will receive my letter and you will have to prepare for the christmas show. You have been warned" she said smiling and we all clapped.

"We have to win this thing" Rachel whispered in my ear and i smiled.

"Didn't you win last year?" I asked and she nodded.

"Of course. But that doesn't mean I don't want to win this year too" she said as a matter of fact and I nodded smiling.

"What are you going to do if she chooses you? Dance, sing or act?" asked Mike and I shook my head.

"First of all, she won't pick me. I might be better now at dancing but there are a lot much better people in here than me" I showed him and some other dancers in the room "And then... I don't know. I like all three of them" I said and suddenly a thought popped in my head. I got up and approached Mrs. Tibideauc who was about to leave.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Tibideaux can I talk to you for a minute?" I said and she turned to look at me.

"Yeah tell me Mrs. Cohen Chang" she answered and I looked behind to see my friends giving me weird looks.

"I just wanted to ask if we have to choose only one way of participating"

"I'm not quite sure if I understood you" she said and turned to look at me better.

"Well you said that it's gonna be a singing, dancing and acting performance. I was wondering if we could do all of them or just one of them"

"So you mean you would like to do a musical number that would evolve all three of those, if you get picked"

"That or it could be a group number if there's other participants that agree with this option" I said and she looked at me skeptically.

"I will admit that I hadn't thought about that. I would like to hear your point of view in all of these. Meet me tomorrow morning at my office so we can discuss it" she said and took off.

"Ok. Thank you" I almost shouted behind her and I turned to my friends grinning.

"What did you tell her?" asked Rachel and I shook my head.

"Nuh uh, not telling you. You will learn if it gets actually approaved" I told her and left with her pleading to know what I didn't want to tell her.

I told of course Mike, who grinned at me and told me it was a great idea and also that the fact that Mrs. Tibideaux had almost approved was very positive and good for me and he had given me a passionate kiss telling me how amazing I was. Fact was, even if I couldn't make it to be a participant at the show, I would have to help organise it.

It was good to know I had the gut to do things like that. That I had the strength to propose something like that. To be confident and ready to take risks.

When Mike had given me one of those long lasting sweet looks I was one hundrent percent sure that if I hadn't met him I wouldn't be the person I was at the moment.

A quick review is so lovely and makes me very, very happy. And hey! Christmas is coming so take a minute to give me a wonderful gift, your so appreciated review!
