Santana was talking to me, but I just wasn't listening. Not only because her lips were so distracting that I couldn't help but look at them all the time. It was because she had been talking about the same since we left my house. She was too worried because when she closed my front door, she realised that she would have to pretend the whole day and she left a lightly kiss on my cheek. She kept saying that a little boy who was in front of the house saw us. It was ridiculous, so I just stopped listening at her, and I just said a randomly aha when she stopped.
-''Do you think that the boy knows someone of our age?''
Oh, she stopped
-''Aha''
-''Who?'' -She exclaimed anxiously.
-''Aha''
-''Britt, are you listening to me?''
-''Yes''-Sometimes I changed the word for not being repetitive.
-''I wooooould love to dance naked in front of the whole school, what do you think?''
-''Aha'' -That time, Santana stopped walking and put her arms crossed over her chest
-''Brit! You're not listening to me''
Shit, she got me.
-''Okay sorry San, Is just...you've been talking about that boy since we left my house, and I would love to talk about anything else before arriving at school and pretending that we are only friends. Look, I understand your worrying, but it was just a little boy. None would know, I'm sure'' -I came closer to her, and put my hand in her arm. She automatically uncrossed her arms and put and smile on her face-''Now can we just walk? We are going to arrive late and say that I lost my keys isn't a good excuse to say to mr. Schue anymore!''
-''Okaaay, but we have to be more careful! Promise?''
-''Promise''
We only spent one night together and I was starting to think if we were doing the right thing. We arrived at the high school and she followed me to my locker where we spent the last five minutes before classes talking and laughing, nothing suspective, just two friends having fun.
-''I gotta go Britt, but...see you at the glee rehearsal okay?'' -Her smile couldn't be bigger, and neither mine.
We were just happy to have each other. Obviously, it would be better if I could kiss her now, but things had to develop slowly. She moved a little to hug me, and I moved in the same way. It was weird, we didn't even know how do that without being nervous. We both started came closer and whispered in my ear.
-''I wish you'll be better in bed than in goodbyes.''
She winked me and left. How the fuck she always left me without words?
Tik-tok...tik-tok. The clock's sounded louder that day, behind Mr. Robinson's maths lessons. I've always liked maths, I was the only subject I was good at my old high school, but here it was really different. Mr Robison was an old man, who probably knew a lot of maths because he spent the whole class writing on the blackboard, but they weren't numbers, they were all leters, that was why I was confused and I focused on the clock, counting the minutes till glee rehearsal.
My mom used to say that when you're boring, time goes slowly, and I couldn't agree more in that moment. God, was that clock working right? Come on, five minutes more.
I looked across the window, trying to kill the time, sectionals were around the corner, and I started to fell nervous about them after what Artie told me. But I had the feeling that this year, was going to be different. We were going to win.
Mr. Robinson closed his book with a strong noise and everybody jumped on their places, it seemed like nobody was listening, so I felt relieved. Class was over at last! A smile appeared on my face...I knew what I meant, I was going to see Santana! Well...I wasn't going to be able to say a lot to her because she would probably freak out like that morning, but I had to be patient with her.
Kurt approached my table with a smile. I was still sitting in my place, picking up my things, so I could see clearly her yellow trousers. When I raised my eyes I could also see his green lightly shirt and eyes, and a shy smile.
-''Hi Brittany!''-He waved his hand, he looked really happy today. He had his hair cut, he looked a little bit older with that hair cut I liked it...it was like he gained a little bit of confidence
-''Hey Kurt how are you?''-I gave him my kindest smile, it wasn't fake, what I didn't know was if it was because I was going to see Santana or because of him.
-''Fine! Are you coming to the rehearsal?''
-''Sure''-I stood up and I realised that I was a little bit taller than him. We made such a funny couple, Kurt with his striking clothes and me with my cheerio's uniform.
-''Great I need to talk to you.''-He said the last words on tone quieter, what scared me, did he knew something? Last days, I discovered that he was gay, maybe he now could see that I'm probably gay too... God that's stupid, focus and answer Britt
-''Oh, tell me''
-''See, you said that Artie told you about what happened on sectionals last year, and how desesperate are we now!''-We were walking through the halls, and my mind was busy at that moment looking for one latina, so I kept doing what I did that morning.
-''Aha''
-''So...I've been thinking...I've seen you dancing, and you're really amazing, Mike and you are the only good ones at that point, and that's our weak spot...So what do you tell me if I ask you about you and Mike doing a choreography for sectionals together? I mean, I'll speak with mr. Schue first, and we all are going to participate but It will cool if you two are the main dancers. Believe me, I love being the principal character, but It's the only way we could win...- My eyes were wide when the tan girl appeared talking with another girl far away from me. I moved my face to see her better. It was sad that it was the only thing I could do in that moment, but it was enough. She even saw me because she waved her hand and smiled at me, when she stopped at her locker, five lockers of distance from mine (yes I'd counted them). But my smile disappeared when Puckerman past nearby me and approached ''my girl'' surrounding her waist with her arms- ''Britt? Are you okay?-Kurt looked to where I was looking so I hurried to answer.
-''Oh yeah, sure, it sounds good!''
-''Great! It'll be amazing. I'll talk with Mike now''
-''Mike?''
-''Yeah. Mike Chang. Dancing with you...Sectionals? Wake up Britt!''-He laughed and left by my side, leaving me with a shocked face. Dancing on sectionals with Mike? God no, I couldn't do that, it was too much responsibility! I had to stop doing that thing and started paying attention. And talking about that... I couldn't stop to pay attention since my locker to the two lovers who were in the halls. Puckerman was pulling her against her locker and she moved her face to a side every time he tried to kiss her. That made me smile, poor Puck...he didn't have any idea!
Then Santana took Pucks hand and both walked through the halls till the choir room. I shacked my head, let's think positive things! Time to dance!
Kurt talked with Mike and also with Mr. Schue when he said yes. Fuck, I didn't know if I was going able to do it. We had to decide the songs yet, so I would have to work my ass off to do it perfectly in time.
I sat on one of the chairs in the choir room while everybody was doing different things. Rachel, Kurt and Mercedes were arguing about the song and who was going to sing each part, Mike was dancing with Tina, Blaine, Puck and Sam. Quinn was just talking to Artie and Santana...she was just behind me, sitting with her feet rested on the chair next to her and filing her nails.
I started thinking that it wasn't going to be a serious rehearsal because Mr. Schue wasn't in there and none had any idea of what to do. So I started thinking of ideas for sectionals. What song could be sung and dance together? What song could be good enough to dance it in front of everybody in my first sectionals? God! That's it, I had the perfect song, I just needed a little bit of help. I looked behind me with a sassy face. Santana raised her eyes from her nails.
-''What?''
-''I need to talk to you, I just had an incredible idea''
-''Yeah I need to talk to you too, meet me under the stars?''
What the hell what she was talking about? Okay I don't wanna look like an idiot in front of her anymore.
-''Sure''- I would figured out what that meant by my own. I didn't hear her moving when a soft whispered approached my ear
-''Astronomy class gorgeous''
How could she did that?
It was dark in that class, in where I realised that I'd never been in there before. It was kind of magic, with all that stars and planets hanging from the ceiling. I always loved stars, when my mom and I used to sleep once in a week in the garden, in tents, and we laid on the floor watching at the stars when weather was good. She taught me a lot of things like where the Orion's belt were. I wondered if she were already in the sky, with the rest of the stars, watching me. Defnitely it was going to be, my favourite room in the high school, it was great walking under all the stars. I was so so distracted that I didn't realised that Santana was watching at me supported on the door frame with her arms crossed on her chest, with a half smile on her face. Was only when she spoke, when I looked at the door for meeting her eyes.
-''So, do you like it?''
She walked into the room, filling the air with her perfume.
-''No...''
I turned around while I rested my arm on a table, I wasn't watching at her, but I bet that she had disappointment in her face. Santana was like messing with me the most of the time so a little bit of teasing wasn't going to be that bad so I put my best smirk on my face and turned around.
-''I love it''-Her smile appeared again on her face-''Do you like stars?''
-''mm...yeah...you look impressed for that''
-''Well, you don't look like the type of person who stop to look at the stars''
She sat down on a chair and I did the same but in the table where she had her arms rested. She looked happy, really happy for the first time since I knew her.
-''So that means that you'll have to know me better, because I'm not what I look like''
-''Any other secret?''
She raised both hands.
-''Hell no!''-She laughed showing me that perfect teeth-''Do you think that I didn't tell you enough?''
In fact, we only knew us for not more than three months, and she became the only person who knew everything about me...and I bet that I was the only one who knew every Santana's secrets. I don't know why, but it was like I had the need of telling her all kinds of things, no matter what. Maybe that was why I loved spending time with her, because I could be myself without any secret.
-''Enough is the word thought!''
We spent a little time watching at the stars in silence. It was weird how I didn't have the need to talk. I mean, when I'm with other people in silence, I started feeling uncomfortable when both didn't speak in a while. But it was different with her, it felt good.
-''What did you want to tell me? Because I have incredible news for you!''
-''Oh! I almost forgot it. See, Don't ask me why, but by mistake, I accepted to dance with Mike in sectionals and we have to find a great song to dance and sing. I would be freaked out because it's a big responsibility so... I thought...that maybe...if you sing with...''
-''No way, sorry Britt but I don't hear berry blaming on me if we lose, and I'm not that good to do that''
-''But I have the perfect song! And what the hell are you talking about? You're great, and you know it! Pleaaaase it would be easier with you in there!''
-''Britt...no, don't look me like that...I'm not...''
-''Pleeeeeease''-I almost sang the word. She was going to do that, I would do the same for her I only needed my best puppy view to convince her.
-''Okay''-She only said that with both hands once again raised and her eyes closed-''But only because of you''
-''Yayyy!''-I jumped, clapped and hug her. It was great-''Thanks San, you won't regret, we're going to win, I have the feeling''
-''Okay okay, you hug me so it will worth it after all! So tell me, what song do you choose?''
-''Clarity, from Zed! It's great because you'll kill it with your voice and the beat is great for me and Mike do some moves!''
-''mmm...I think I could do it, and do you talk with Schue? Because I'm sure that Rachel won't let me do a solo, she want all the fame''
-''No worries, I'll handle it! We're gonna do it...and look it for the good side...we will spend more time together at the rehearsal!- I came closer to her and tried to kiss her, but she moved her head to a side.
-''Are you crazy? Someone could see us!''-She started looking to all the sides worried.
-''God sorry, I forgot it''
-''Okay, don't worry, but don't do it again Britt''
-''Promise''
She stand up claping once her hand.
-''Now it's my turn''-She smiled and didn't stop of looking at me-''Guess who find you the best job ever!?''
-''What? Where?''-I jumped from the table and followed her.
-''Okay, a friend of mine is going to open a new bar in town, it's called '''The unholies' and it's going to be like a coyote ugly you know? People go and waitress dance and perform. When she told me that, I thought it was perfect for you, but I couldn't tell you anything, because you have to do an audition first, and I promised Holly that you won't prepare it''
-''Why?''-I started to feel the palm of my hands sweating and the heat on my face.
-''Because she wants to know how amazing you're by herself and she wanted to see you at natural. You are practically in, I've been speaking about you to her like two hours without stopping. She also quick me out of the bar''-She might feel how nervous I was starting to feel because she held my hand in public. Well, it wasn't public, but someone could enter into the room suddenly.
-''Hey, don't worry Brit, you did it before, you can handle that okay? Let's go, auditions start in half an hour''
-''What? Half an hour? I don't even have my things''-I looked down at me, I was wearing my cheerio's uniform, I couldn't do the audition with that, I must look profesional,and the music...?
-''Don't worry honey, tita snix has everything under control''-She winked and I started walking behind her, leaving all that shining and beautiful fake stars in the room. Who the hell was tita snix? And why couldn't I think with clarity?
After all, it seemed that tita snix was Santana, and she carried me to her locker, where she hide a bag with some of my dancing clothes, my iPod and speakers. I raised my eyes to meet hers.
-''Yeah well,sorry for stealing that things but It had to be a secret...and you know!''
How the hell could she be so so amazing? I didn't even realised! She was waiting for my answer but I couldn't do anything except smile. A quiet ''thank you'' ran out of my mouth, but I think that she didn't hear me, because she practically run through the hall when she saw that I wasn't mad at her.
-''Come on Britt, let's show them how you do it!''
I waited two seconds before closing the locker and started running behind her. God, she was going to kill me someday.
We walked like ten minutes when santana pointed a purple local between two big flats. It looked really new, two men were still painting the facade and one fixing the huge black door. As soon as we were approaching the place, I looked more and more frightened. I really wanted to leave but...what If I got the job? I could be working as a dancer, what I'd always dreamt.
-''Have you thought what song are you going to dance?'' -She had to be kidding. How I was supposed to know? I didn't have time to think about it, and the song wasn't the most important, what about the dancing steps? Oh god...
-''No...I have no idea about what I'm going to do in there''
-''Better, you're amazing under pressure, really''
-''No I'm not, I'm really nervous, I can't focus''
-''Oh honey, I saw you in your glee audition, you were great and you told me that you didn't prepare it!''
-''Hell yeah, but it wasn't so important! It's a club, and that's the nearest I'm from my dream''-I pointed to the purple building to see that I was screaming because the workers turned around to see who was shouting out loud.
-''Okey, chill out, you don't even have to think, you have dance flowing for your veins, isn't it? You've been dancing since three, you can handle this. And of course, you have half of the way done, because I've talked Holly about you like millions of times, she knows you are good, and I know, and you too. And now let's go, I don't do pep talks!''
But she did, and she didn't even imagine how she helped me. I followed her. It was dark outside, I barely saw a tall blonde girl approaching me and giving me a hug.
-''So you must be Brittany! Nice to meet you! Hey girl you are shacking, are you okay?''
-''Yes...yes sorry, nice to meet you too...Holly?''
-''That's it Holly Holliday!''-She snapped and started walking inside of the place. Santana moved her head to let me know that I should follow Holly, and that's exactly what I did.
The woman was really tall, with long straight blonde hair and an amazing white dress. She looked older than me, I wondered how she met Santana...
-''So, no worries honey, Santana talked me about you for hours I had to hang up her like a couple of times...So I'm sure that you're extremely good. Well, first of all I want to explain you how this is going to be. If you do it well, I'm going to hire you, you'll work every night from 22.00 to 04.00, except on Sundays. I want to do a different kind of disco you know? Nowadays, boys and girls only go to the disco to see if they can spend a night with a completely strange, and then not seeing him or her anymore. I want people to have fun, to take a seat, and see people dancing, singing, having fun too, while they drink and get drunk. Do you know what I mean?''
-''Yeah...kind of a coyote ugly?''- I was relief that Santana explained me before
-''That's it honey! Now, show me what you got''
That was the last she said before entering into a new room. When I came in too I couldn't help but open my mouth wide open. That place was was a huge bar in a side with hundred of alcohol bottles, in the middle of the place, there were a few tables and chairs, but what was big was the dance floor. At the bottom of the room was where was the piece of wood I'd been waiting to meet since I left high school with Santana. The huge stage was waiting for me too. I looked behind to see how Santana only made a move with her head, winked and throw me my bag. I changed my clothes quickly behind the bar and I climbed literally to the stage because Holly didn't mention anything about stairs.
I put the speakers in front of me and connected my iPod with them. I started searching the right song...no,no,no...come on what I'm going to do. Coyote ugly uh? So I need to do a sexy song or at least a little bit cheeky. Yeah that's it! It totally matched!
I pressed play and ran to the back of the stage. I could hear my heart running fast even when the music already started and it was loud. Come on, it's now or never. I turned around and the lights hit me in the face. That's when I realised that it was the first time I was on a big stage...and I didn't want to come down.
So sorry (once again -.-) for the delay, there isn't enough hours in a day! But I'm thinking about writing some chapters to end the first part of the story and upload then one each week, to not make you wait for them!
Enjoy guys! Hope you like :))
Love xx
