"DAN, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE BATHROOM YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS HOUSEHOLD" screamed Li Mei as she ferociously hit her fists onto the other side of the bathroom door. Her brother Dan had always been self involved, he was too into the way he looked and what other people thought about him and that meant that he spent most of his spare time locked in the bathroom.
"SHUT UP LI I'LL BE OUT WHEN I'M FINISHED."
"DON'T GET ME STARTED ON FINISHING; I WILL FINISH YOU IF YOU DON'T LET ME TAKE A GOD DAMN SHOWER!"
After a painfully long hour and a half of waiting, Dan finally emerged from the bathroom. Walking past her brother and into the bathroom herself Li Mei punched her brother in the chest and slammed the door behind her. She would only have fifteen minutes to get ready now for crying out loud, why the hell did he always have to take so long to get ready? At times like this she really did hate her brother.
20 minutes later...
Walking through to the kitchen Li Mei's hair was still wet, she didn't have the time or the patience needed to blow dry it before she had to leave for school. Dan clearly didn't have the same concern, sitting up at the kitchen table with perfectly blow dried and waxed hair he sipped from his clear bottle of water.
"Calmed down a little yet?" Daniel asked as he watched his sister search through the kitchen cabinets for her morning pop tart.
Li had not calmed down; in fact she was the complete opposite from calm. Grabbing her pop tarts and a plate she slammed the plate down onto the side before snapping back at her brother.
"Do not. Talk to me Daniel."
"Oh come on don't be like that sis."
"I said, don't talk to me."
Before Daniel got to say anything else to her Li had begun to snap again, there was no way in hell she was going to let him get away with being such a jerk all the time.
"GOD Dan you're so self-centred! Do you ever think of anybody but yourself?! I can't stand being around you when you act like this and you know what? I don't know how the hell I haven't tried to drown you in your precious shower yet. Grow up Dan or you are going to end up alone."
She was pissed and Daniel could tell. He hadn't seen her this angry in well... last month. But how the hell could she say he didn't care about anybody but himself? All he ever cared about was taking care of her, making sure she was ok and she had somebody that was there for her. He continued to take her abuse until he couldn't anymore, after all they were twins and they had the same temper as each other.
"ME?! I'M SICK OF YOU LI MEI. IF I ONLY CARE ABOUT MYSELF THEN WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MAKE YOU? YOU THINK I LIKE THE WAY I AM? YOU THINK THAT I DON'T SIT AND HATE MYSELF EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY GOD DAMN LIFE. You wish I was never born Li? Well I might as well just pretend that I'm not."
And with that he was gone... walking out of the house he slammed the door hard behind him. Li Mei listened as she heard the engine of his car turn on and his wheels skid as he escaped down the street. In that moment she felt incredibly bad, she never meant to actually hurt him with the words she said, she just wanted him to see some sence, he took far too long in the shower for god sake. As she thought about it she realised the whole reason they were arguing was stupid in the first place. She would have to make it up to him somehow. She had lost her appetite completely; throwing the pop tart into the trash she picked up her keys and headed towards school herself. She didn't think about the fact that she was going to have to face him in the glee club.
The atmosphere in the glee club was surprisingly enjoyable. Not only had they all bonded with each other now but the excitement due to the musical auditions was starting to take over. When she walked into the choir room Li Mei chose a seat in the room as far away from Daniel as she could, she couldn't face sitting near him after the argument that morning.
"Are you ok Daniel you look pretty sheepish?" asked Zoe as she noticed Daniel sitting alone in the corner looking paler than a ghost.
"I'm great... do I really?"
"Yeah you really don't look great sweetie."
The truth of the matter was that he really didn't look ok, and the rest of the glee club had been whispering about it for days. His cheeks were drawn out not to mention his collar bones. He had dark shadows underneath both of his arms and his lips looked a little blue. Everybody knew what was going on but nobody had the balls to talk to him about it. Walking into the room Mr Schuester gave them something else to think about.
"Alright! Mike Chang and Brittany I've got some choreograph sheets for you right here in my hands. I want you to pick a team and work on the dancing ready for the auditions! Can you guys handle that?!"
Mike and Tina's faces lit up, it had been so long since they had anything to do with choreography and now they got the chance to work on the musical? Things were looking up. As they hopped off of their seats and into the middle of the room they smiled excitedly as they picked out their team of dancers. As the names got called out, the people chosen danced to the center with Mike and Brittany.
"Daniel!"
Mike froze for a second, the second best dancer in the room was Zoe and he knew it. He had the choice; pick Zoe and just face whatever Tina thought about it, or wait for somebody else to choose her instead. Plucking up the courage he made his decision.
"Zoe."
Tina's eyes widening as she witnessed the decision made.
"Santana!"
Called out Brittany, she was happy that she got to choose her girlfriend to dance with; although she was sure Santana would have something to say about being chosen second.
"Swayer."
Was the next decision from Mike, Just looking at Swayer you could tell she was going to be able to move. He couldn't remember whether she said she was a dancer or not but he could teach anyone to dance... except Finn.
"Blaine!"
Brittany had no trouble choosing Blaine. He was a great dancer, nowhere near as good as her or Mike but she couldn't deny the fact that Blaine Anderson had style. The final choice was down to Mike, most of the best dancers in the room had already been picked. Quinn would have been the obvious choice but she was still injured, looking out into the room he noticed somebody sitting there with their arms crossed, clearly annoyed that nobody had chosen them to be on the dream dance team.
"Tina."
"Ok guys we'll go one more time!"
While the rest of the glee club did their own thing in the choir room, the dream team were on their fifth try of the choreography all together with the music.
"Britt is it kick, fan, jump, spin, twirl slide?"
Asked Swayer, she wasn't the best dancer out of the group but she was picking it up really quickly with a little encouragement.
"No no no; its kick, fan, spin, jump, slide and then twirl honey."
Swayer nodded as Brittany gave her advice much to Santana's displeasure. She hated the fact that Brittany and Swayer were getting on so well but at the end of the day who didn't get on with Brittany?
"Tina you need to lift your leg higher on the fan... follow Zoe, she's doing great."
Said Mike as he watched his girlfriend run through the movements. She was doing fine but she wasn't at as high standard as the rest. Tina was far from impressed, it was difficult enough watching Zoe perfect everything that she did but being compared to her was the last straw.
"OK! I'm doing the best that I god damn can."
The room fell silent, it wasn't likely that they heard Tina raise her voice; especially to Mike who was always on her best side. Instead of letting any drama continue Mike counted the dancers in.
"Ok guys! 5,6,7,8!"
Kick, Fan, Spin...
Collapse.
