Hello hello here's a furious with Ryan Murphy asian fusion-tike that wants her OTP back together but will never ever get it! How are you doing? I hope you're all good! The previous comment was made because of the 21th episode of glee where Ryan heartlessly brought Mike back but never even thought of giving him an actual scene of 2 minutes with Tina. Ok I'll stop my angry thoughts here and I'll start writing. I don't know if I can focus to the real episode so if I write anything weird please excuse me. I'm just furiously trying to not buy a ticket right now and fly to America so I can have a little talk with Ryan Murphy. Ok. Here's chapter 17 (episode 15 of glee).
Tina's POV
"Everybody loves movies" says Mr. Schuester and I nod. I have many favorite movies. One of them is The Notebook. Oh I love this movie. Mike and I used to watch it at his house when his parents were absent and I could cuddle up against him with my head resting on his chest. His favorite movie is Footloose. We've seen it over a hundred times but I don't care that much cause I like this movie a lot too "They provide comfort and they help us escape from our day to day anxieties"
"Like getting left at the altar?" asks Kitty and everyone turns around to look at her with wide eyes. That was rude and bitchy. I've made a lot of bitchy comments but she shouldn't have said that in the first place.
"Too soon" comments Ryder in a low tone and I nod agreeing.
"Exactly" answers Mr. Schuester "or worrying about Regionals" he goes on and I nod smiling. Yes Regionals. This is it! "For this week's assignment I want you to pick your favorite songs from your favorite movies" he announces and we cheer. I smile widely not minding to pay attention to what Unique says cause I have to think about THE perfect song "This is a group competition" says Mr. Will "Boys against girls and we are doing mash-ups. Now remember. Movies are visual. So it's not just about the singing, it's about performance, it's about theatricality. It's about the language of cinema"
After Artie's announcement about his new movie we gather around with the girls so we can decide which songs we'll do. Sugar proposes to do the Artist so we don't have to sing. NO WAY. I give her a meaningful look.
"What?" she asks and I huff.
"Sugar for first we can't just pick one song. It's a mash-up. And second of all, we HAVE to sing. So no. We can't do the Artist" I say and she pouts. I'm about to propose a song when my phone rings. I go a little further so that no one hears me and I answer the call.
"Hey Tee. What's up?"
"Hey. Everything fine. Mr. Schue just announced us we're on a girls versus boys competition"
"Really? That's great"
"I know. It has to be a mash-up and we have to pick songs from our favorite movies"
"What? Why did he do that now that I'm not there? Did you decide which ones you're gonna do?" I laugh at his desperate tone and turn around quickly to see Kitty looking at me suspiciously.
"No we don't know yet… But I'll let you know when I learn"
"I hope I could be there too" he complains and I smile.
"Well you can always come if you want"
"You know I can't do that Tee. I can't lose more classes"
"I know I know I'm just kidding you. Um… Mike I have to go. Or else Sugar is really gonna persuade the others to do the Artist" I say and he laughs which brings a smile on my face again.
"Ok we'll talk later?"
"Sure. Bye" I end the call and return to where the girls are.
"Ok girls we're in crisis. Why don't we meet in the afternoon to think about it better. Everyone can bring their own ideas and then we can vote" I say and they all agree. So we do.
"We should definitely do Material Girl" I say and Sugar claps.
"Great. I like it. But it has to do a good mash-up with another song" says Brittany and I frown.
"How about Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend?" says Marley and my eyes light up.
"This is it guys. It's perfect. And we can make it fit. It's perfect" I say and Unique claps.
"Yeah ok but we have to do a great choreography. I'm in charge of that" says Kitty and I nod.
When I arrive home I greet my parents and quickly go to my room. I open my laptop and before I can do anything I receive an instant message from Mike.
From Mike Chang: I was waiting for you!
To Mike Chang: Sorry I'm late. We were out with the girls to see which songs we're gonna mash up
From Mike Chang: It's ok. To be honest I was kinda scared you had blocked me again
To Mike Chang: Why would I do that?
From Mike Chang: I don't know… Forget that I mentioned it… It's just my silly thoughts
To Mike Chang: Ok. How was your day?
From Mike Chang: Good I guess. We learned some new steps. We made a new choreography and my roommate came to house without his clothes on.
To Mike Chang: OMG hahahahahahaha why is that?
From Mike Chang: He cheated on his last "girlfriend" and she took his clothes so he had to return home in his underwear :p
To Mike Chang: oh my god. Poor girl… He had it coming
From Mike Chang: You know what this reminded me huh? He had it coming he had it coming he had it coming he only had himself to blame…
To Mike Chang: If you'd have been there if you'd have seen it I betcha you would have done the same!
From Mike Chang: And you were wearing those sexy underwear and I was freaking out every time you moved above me and I had to show calm… I still wonder why you asked me to do this number with you. You really tortured me that day
To Mike Chang: Yeah I figured out after the performance when you shoved me in that closet and literally couldn't hold yourself
From Mike Chang: It's not my fault you provoked me like that
To Mike Chang: Well maybe I need to provoke you more ;)
From Mike Chang: Do you?
To Mike Chang: Absolutely
The conversation goes on for about three hours long and we both decide to go to bed.
To Mike Chang: I'll call you tomorrow kay?
From Mike Chang: Ok. Good night! Will you promise me something?
To Mike Chang: Of course!
From Mike Chang: Will you dream of me?
To Mike Chang: I can't promise that
From Mike Chang: Why not?
To Mike Chang: Because I already do that
Mike Chang logged off.
I log off too and close my laptop with a smile on my face. Maybe just maybe this could work out…
The next morning I'm talking with Sam next to Marley and Jake when Blaine and Brittany approach us.
"Hey guys Brittany and I were just talking"
Brittany says that since the competition is girls vs boys we can first warm up with a group number. Sam proposes a horrible song idea so I step in.
"Yeah or a good song like Let the river run from Working girl"
Then Marley proposes another one when Blaine interrupts her. He suggests Animal House. So we perform in the hallway. I move Blaine's bag with my foot and dance with the others. I then dance with Ryder who lifts me up and we then enter the library. We get out as quiet as we can and then enter the school cafeteria dancing and singing out loud. I get on a table and when we finish the song I lie down and everyone cheers and claps.
I call Mike and he seems too thrilled about our performance. He says he wants me to record our performances so he can see them later. I tell him I'll do my best and then head for rehearsal with the girls.
When I wake up the next day and I'm so ready for our performance! We're gonna kill it! Right before the boys start performing Sugar starts shouting so I shush her quickly. The song starts and oh my god they're so good. I look at the rest of the girls and they seem to enjoy the song too. When Sam, Jake and Ryder enter the choir room with the white clothing and the white socks I'm literally laughing so hard. Ryder jumps high and lands close to us so my eyes widen and my mouth forms an "O" which immediately turns into a wide smile. When the song ends we all cheer widely and clap for the boys.
"Girls you're up" announces Mr. Schuester and we quickly go to get ready. I fix my makeup and Sugar's hair one more time and quickly go to the choir room again. After our performance the guys clap out loud and cheer for us loudly. I high five Brittany and Kitty winks at me.
The same day we end up singing for Mrs. Emma helping Mr. Will to get her back. I stay on the back next to Unique, Sam, Artie and Brittany. When the song ends we leave them in order to talk and we decide to go for a group coffee. When we arrive at the coffee shop I call Mike again to see if he's ok and to inform him about our three songs. He says he hopes Mrs. Pillsbury will think about getting back with Mr. Schuester. I tell him we're gonna talk later and I return to our table.
"Who are you talking with so much Tina? You're always on the phone" says Kitty and I feel eyes on me.
"Why do you care?" I ask and I catch Blaine's examinating look.
"Nah… I'm just saying. You're texting and talking on the phone all of the sudden. Is it a new love interest maybe?" she asks and I ignore her taking a sip of my coffee "Silence seems you're hiding something indeed" she goes on and I roll my eyes.
"Kitty leave her alone" says Blaine although it's pretty clear he's curious too.
To Mike Chang: I almost got caught today
From Mike Chang: When?
To Mike Chang: At the coffee shop
From Mike Chang: I'm sorry about that. But I think we both decided to keep it a secret
To Mike Chang: I know I know don't worry I'm ok. I'll send you the video with our performances okay?
From Mike Chang: Finally!
When it's glee club time the next day we sit and Brittany asks me if I'm nervous.
"No. Girls rule as usual" I say and Sam replies back but I ignore him cause Mr. Schuester starts talking.
"Ladies and Gentlemen the time has come for the announcement of this year's mash-off winner" I drum roll on my legs and then pat Artie's shoulder giving him my most sweet smile cause I am rutting for acting. I really wanna be an actress and I should definitely be the lead role in his film.
"And the winner is… Everyone"
"What?" I demand shocked.
"Why do you always do that?" complains Blaine and I shake my head. Everyone starts complaining.
"Calm down y'all calm down" shouts Artie announcing that there couldn't be only one winner cause he needs more people in order to make the movie great "Everybody is gonna be there" says Artie.
"We're a great team" I tell him showing me and Blaine. I say everything that comes in my mind. Blaine helps me saying we're a great team and shushes Artie to make him agree.
"You guys are awesome" says Artie and both I and Blaine nod discussing with Artie so that he doesn't give the leads to anyone else.
I text Mike: And the winner is… everyone
He answers back: He did that again didn't he?
I answer yes and then I reveal we're going to perform Footloose.
His answer is all in capitals: WHAT? WHY? NO. NOW THAT I'M NOT THERE. THIS IS NOT FAIR. I WAS BEGGING YOU ALL LAST YEAR TO HAVE A FOOTLOOSE MOVIE MARATHON. YOU GUYS ARE SO BAD. THIS IS NOT FAIR YOU KNOW.
"Will you please calm down?" I call him in front of anyone so that they won't say later that I'm not letting them hear what I say.
"This is so unfair Tee" he answers and I can literally see his face. He's pouting.
"I know but it wasn't my decision" I smile and Blaine seems to pay a lot of attention to what I say.
"So what now you're gonna do the choreography and all?"
"There's no performance without the choreography" I remind him in a kind tone and he huffs "Please don't be like this" I beg him and he huffs again.
"I'm just so sad. We could dance at this dance number together"
"I know. But thanks to you and the numerous times we've seen it I know the steps perfectly"
"Here's an advantage of doing Footloose. Just try not to get brushes from the boys' legs on yours" he teases and I giggle catching the attention of the others.
"I'll try although I don't know if I'll make it"
"Kay. I have to go now. Have fun"
"Thanks. You too" I end the call and I smile at Blaine who looks at me with his eyebrow raised.
"You're not gonna tell me are you?"
"Tell you what?" I ask like I don't understand.
"Who you're talking to everyday"
"A friend?" I say trying to look cool.
"Ok…" he says. I wonder if he's mad at me for not telling him but I don't have time to think about it a lot cause the girls take me to the bathroom so we can change for the next number. Sam shows us the choreography but I already know it so it's not that difficult for me. After we perform Footloose I really hope Mike was here. It would be so perfect to have him next to me. So that after the performance we could comment on the choreography and maybe go see the movie in his house again and I could hide my face in his embrace and let his scent relax me and take me away from every tiring thought. I would be able to feel his soft lips on mine just before the end of the movie.
I really wish he was there with me. Like face to face. Not through the phone. This is not what I need. But I have to be patient. If I want this to work out I have to stay strong. Just a couple of months till I graduate. Then things will be better.
I hope so…
So… last times I received AGAIN only a few reviews! Is the story boring? Anyway, please review cause reviews make me happy! Thanks!
