I fit my dress and looked another one time to the mirror. After expending hours and hours with Kurt shopping the other day, we finally found the perfect dress. It was a simple white dress no more long from the knees and with my back at the air. When I asked him if I should go like an evil or an angel, he answered me quickly. I didn't fit as an evil. I put on my black heels and took my purse, I breathed heavily. I wasn't sure if I was going to do the right thing that night, but there wasn't another way, it was to late to regret.
When I arrived at the high school, a lot of people where entering on there, excited and really well dressed. Girls wore beautiful dresses, most of them red or white but there were also light blue or black. Most of the boys wore white or blue ones.
I was supposed to met Kurt outside with Blaine, his official boyfriend and also my date. Kurt kept asking me who I was going to take with me, but I refused to tell, mainly because I really loved teasing Kurt, but also because he didn't know her, and he could spend hours and hours asking me to talk about Dani.
She appeared two minutes later, wearing a really awesome red dress and black heels. She got her long straight hair kept over her shoulders and a big shy smile on her face. I tried to not open my mouth a lot, she was really awesome when she changed her working outfit
-''Is that too much?''-She said watching at her dress and with a worry face
-''No! Of course not...you're really beautiful''-She blushed a little bit and then smiled more confident.
-''I was too nervous when you called me, I hadn't to a dance in almost...three years''-I tried to calculate how old was she, because she always had looked older, but not too much -''But I'm glad you did, we're really going to enjoy it!''
-''Did you come to this high school?''
-''Nope. I actually went to a private high school at the outsides of the city. I was in the glee club as you''
I was going to say something interesting, but then Kurt appeared behind me and covering my eyes. He laughed and then he whistled making me turn around. Blaine was there with a really clear suit and a lot of gel on his hair, smiling as always.
-''So Britt, are you going to introduce me to your date or I have to?''- God, my date, it sounds really weird. And a part of me hated hear that. Of course that I had asked Dani to come as a friend because I didn't want to go with anyone of the school and everyone had already a partner. But I didn't know if she was into girls, so I was scared. What if Kurt said something inappropiate?
-''Uh...yeah...this is Dani''- Kurt said a too loud ''amazing'' and then took her hand to make her turn around too.
-''Nice to meet you Dani, beautiful dress''- She smiled back and said a shyly thanks. Then Kurt turned around and whispered on my ear ''nice choice''. Then he clapped, not letting me say that she was a friend.
-''Let's go inside''
-''You guys will have to apologize Kurt, he's been kind of nervous the whole day''- Blaine said trying to follow Kurt inside. The four of us laughed when Kurt tried to argue but words didn't come out.
The party was totally amazing, they transformed the gym into a really cool party, and It didn't look like an easy job. The stage was huge and the band wasn't already playing, but music was on, from the DJ table I guessed. The place was divided in two clear parts, Hell and Heaven. The first one, had all types of red drinks, food and fire painted on the walls, and the second one, lightly drinks and painted with clouds in a blue background. Was really there when we all sweat like crazies?
Plenty people were already inside, but it was obviously that I didn't keep my eyes off the Hell, looking for someone in particular, Santana. But there wasn't clue of her, was she okay? I hadn't seen her since the bathroom ''fight'' but it was mostly because I'd been avoiding her everywhere. I choose a lot of songs that she didn't sing for not have to rehearsal with her, and I skipped a lot of cheerios rehearsal saying that I had headache, what didn't like to coach Sue.
Mr. Schue told us that we had to start performing at ten o'clock, and it was almost the time. I saw Tina and Mercedes, both with red dressed sharing gossips, and staring at everybody dresses. When they saw me they waved and ran quickly till I were. They started asking me everything about my dress and my partner until it was time to perform. The three of us had to start, so we came up to the stage.
And then, I saw her, just before coming up to the stage. She was wearing a breathtaking tight white dress, and blue high heels, as she usually wore. I always wondered how she could spend hours and hours on those shoes without taking them off. All her hair was picked up in a braid what was perfectly rested on her right shoulder. But she couldn't skip the eye bags under her eyes, just like mines, even when her smile was bigger than usual. Why was she wearing white dress when she was considered one of the biggest bitch in the school? Even she laughed when Mr. Schue said what was the theme of the dance, she already knew that she was going to be the best devil in there. She used to be bad, and proud of it. Part of me was proud that she decided to wear that dress, but the other was afraid, did Santana changed everything, even her feelings? Her eyes kept looking everywhere, like she was trying to find someone, and my heart started beating fast, wondering and expecting that she was looking for me. Well, I had to go on stage now, I was in the first performance with Mercedes and Tina, two clear evils.
Mr. Schue picked up the microphone and announced us. I tried to find Santana in the public, but as always, everything was so dark and with the lights, it was really hard. The song was particularly easy to sing, it was Locked out of heaven, from Bruno Mars, and I only sang a little bit but I hoped that it was enough for Santana to see me. When the lights go off, everyone was clapping under us, but I couldn't find her, so I sighted and go out, letting Kurt and Rachel perform ''I believe in a thing called love''
-''You've been amazing! It's the first time I saw you sing''-Dani said offering me a glass of something red.
-''Thanks! Well, I didn't sing a lot, I'm not confident enough, the first time I sang while I danced was...''- I shut up as soon as I remembered when it was. Rachel's party, the duet with Santana...I took a ship of the drink. Ugh it was disgusting!
-''Bad memory uh? Don't worry! C'mon, let's dance''-She reached my hand and took me till the dance floor.
We spent in there hours and hours. Most of the kids of the glee club had already performed, and they mixed they performances with periods with songs from the mp3. When we couldn't even walk, we sat down on a table, and we spent like another hour talking about each other. I discovered that Dani was working here for earning money and pay her studies in New York, because her parents were mad at her when she said that she wanted be an actress. That she loved horses, indie music and she always has wanted to play the guitar, but she played the piano. I hadn't told her my entire story, only that my mom died and that I came here to study and tried to be a dancer. I liked the fact that only Santana knew what was my secret after all. I also told her that I loved cats and all kind of music, and that I was kind of afraid of storms.
Mr. Schue go up to the stage, with a really handsome black suit and his usual smile. He grabbed the microphone and announced the six kids who aspired to be Queen and King. Slowly they started going up in pairs. The first one, was Quinn, with a really smart white dress hanging to Sam with his biggest smile on his face. Well, even a tiny smile was big for Sam. The second one, Lea, a girl who was on the cheerios, with her dark long hair on a ponytail and a red long dress, with his famous boyfriend John, who had won every single competition in basketball. And finally...there was Santana, with a really cocky Puck holding his hand, but he was more worry about how he looked like in his black suit. Obviously, he wasn't considered a ''good boy''. The three girls put on the right of Mr. Schue and the boys on the left, and after two minutes of couch Silvester advising the kids to behave, director Figgings came up to the stage with two big envelops. The first one, was blue, and it was supposed to be the name of the king. When Figgings opened it, he shouted out loud Puck's name. Everybody started to clap hard, but Santana the most, it was for sure that she had won. Then he opened the pink envelop, the one with Santana's name...but something went director took two minutes to reread the name, and then shouted Quinn's name. Nobody knows what to do, a few people started clapping, and then everyone did, but Quinn didn't move, she kept in there with her mouth wide open.
When I looked at the stage I looked for Santana's reaction, waiting for her to be angry or sad, or both, but she wasn't in there. She was gone. After Puck's and Quinn's dance, everyone chilled out, and started dancing too, but It was Santana's turn to perform, and she wasn't in there, so the whole glee club started looking for her.
-''What's going on?''-Dani said when she found me in the bathroom looking for her.
-''I...We are waiting for Santana...She is gone after all the queen and king thing, and she has to perform now...we can't find her anywhere''
-''Oh! I'm so sorry Britt, what song was she going to sing?''
-''Uh...Raise your glass I think''-I knew it for sure, but I didn't want to seem so focus on her.
-''Mmm...well if she doesn't appear I could sing it, if you agree''-She squeeze her hands really hard, like she was ashamed of asking me that.
-''That will be awesome Dani! Would you really do that?-She nodded and I hugged her, she was really nice-''C'mon, let's find Mr. Schue to tell him that the problem has been solved''
But it wasn't, at all. Santana was still lost, and I wasn't going to stop looking for her. In fact, I probably knew where she was, but I needed the glee club to be distracted to go for her. If I told them that I knew, and I took them there, I would have to give so many explanations.
I left the high school after letting Dani on the stage singing with Blaine and Kurt, they were really good together. I felt a little bit guilty for letting Dani alone in the dance, but I just needed a little of good luck, she will be distracted until I came back with Santana.
After thinking a lot where the hell she could be, I thought the place that Santana had, well, that in fact she shared with me. So I started walking, as fast as possible with that heels, until I get tired and started walking with them on my hands. It was pretty dark and cold, I started praying for not being wrong. But I wasn't, I arrived like half an hour later breathing fast and with my feet full of dirt, they also hurt.
At first I didn't see her, she was sitting on the grass, with her legs surrended by her arms, and crying quietly. I walked as slowly as I could, but I didn't want to scary her so I talked slowly.
-''I thought you were a badass''
She shocked and turned around, cleaning her tears, and smiling a little.
-''Well, I'm stupid''
-''Why?''-I walked until I arrived her spot and sat down next to her trying not to look at her eyes, scared of what could I find.
-''Because I screw everything''-She was shacking, probably because of the cold, and I smiled when I saw her heels next to her, she couldn't walk with them too this time-''At first, I thought you were right, that maybe I was playing with fire trying to have you and being at the same time with Puck for being popular or for avoiding my feelings. But then, I understood that I didn't want to be popular anymore, it doesn't make me happy as you do. But it was too late, I lost you, and the crown...''
-''Oh c'mon...the crown is kind of made of plastic...it doesn't mean anything, if you want, I can make you one with a piece of paper. Believe me it would be prettier- She laughed cleaning the last tears that where on her face. That was what I wanted to! -''I'm not kidding, for me, you're the queen''-I hit her shoulder a little with mine and she smiled.
After a minute of silence, I looked at her. She was so tired, as tired as I was.
-''I dressed like this for you. First it was to catch your attention but then I realized that I wanted you to know that you made me a better person, I'm not the bitchy one you knew. I felt really silly when I saw you with Dani in that astonishing red dress''
God, it was so cheesy, but my heart started racing fast when I heard it. So she didn't change her feelings about me, she did that for me. A big smile appeared on my face, without expecting it.
-''First of all, I love you as who you are still a little bitch, a little bit sweeter, but I didn't change you at all, and that's what I like most of you, and Dani is a friend, I asked her to come with me because I hadn't got a partner and I didn't want to go with one of the boys of the high school. She'll never be as evil as you are''
-''Thanks''-Santana blushed a little-''Where is she?''
-''She...is singing because we couldn't find you. So I could gain some time and come here to find you''
-''umm...How did you know that I was going to be here?''
-''You're kind of predictable!''-I winked and touch her arm kindly-''C'mon San, let's go. I'll carry you home''
-''Wait''-She put on her heels. It was the first time she was taller than me, it was kind of funny and weird at the same time -''I'm going alone, I need some thinking, don't get mad''- She kissed me in the cheek and started walking slowly. I was sure that she had a smirk on her face, because she knew for sure that I was watching her leaving.
I didn't return to the dance. I was really tired, so I went home, get undressed and put a large t-shirt. As soon as I could, I texted Kurt asking him to take care of Dani, and then I wrote one to her explaining and apologizing. When I laid on the couch, there were so much on my mind so I turn on the TV and watched at it without paying attention. Things that Santana told me that night changed a lot our situation...was she going to do something?
When someone knocked on the door, I was deeply slept so It took me like five minutes to wake up and realise what was happening. The rain was hitting with fierce the window. I didn't understand the weather in there. I stood up and imagined how I would look like, I looked down and saw my big t-shirt and my pink panties and all my messed hair was up in a high ponytail. I approached the door in the dark and opened it. A wet Santana was on her feet in front of my door. I'd never seen her like that before. She was shaking with her dress still on and crying as a crazy. I rubbed my eyes to figure out that I wasn't dreaming, but no she was still in there, crying and ashamed. I only wanted her to feel better.
-''What happened?''-I said scared hugging her to come inside.
-''I...I...my pa...''-She couldn't talk with the tears filling her eyes.
-''Okay, don't worry, you don't have to tell me yet, just answer...are you injured?''-She said no with her head. Then I looked closer and noticed her luggage outside next to her. I took it and put it inside. Something went wrong in her house, that was for sure.
I helped her to undressed and let her to take a warmth shower. Then I gave her some of my dance clothes and prepared her a tea. Then She sat down on the couch, with her wet hair over her shoulders and one of my favorites t-shirts on. I sat next to her and touched softly her knee.
-''So, tell me what the hell is going on?''
-''I told them'' - I froze for a second -''I told my parents that I love you''-She looked on a point freeze as I was-''And then they kick me out...they shouted me and said a lot of horrible stuff to me''-She started crying again.
-''I'm so sorry San''ยด-I hugged her -''We don't have to talk about it if you don't want, but I'll be here if you want to''
-''No I want to...or I need too. When I arrived home, my mom was waiting me at the entrance with a big smile and one of that bottles of champaigne that she used in important occasions. When she looked me without Queen crown, she got mad at me. She didn't even let me open my mouth to say hello. And then I decided that I was tired, and I wanted to tell, so when she was yelling at me, I just said that I was in love with you and that I hoped that she understand. But she didn't and automatically called my dad, who was as mad as her. So they decided quick me out of the house letting me like half of hour to take my stuff and told me to return when I had learnt ''what's the right thing to do''. Do you know what pissed me off the most?''
I took her hand and nodded. I was sorry for her, but proud at the same time. She had been really brave.
-''That I already knew that they didn't love me, but I just took to much time too realize. My mom always wanted me to be the best at school, at cheerios. She didn't even let me go to the glee club!. And my father only asked me about my marks...''
-''I'm so sorry hun! But I hope you know that you can live here as long as you want. I mean, I don't have a bed, but we have the couch, and I would earn money...listen, I know that it's hard that your parents don't like you right now, but they will react soon and see that they are wrong...you'll see''
-''Screw them! I've been trying to be the perfect daughter, but I'm sick of trying to be someone who I'm not anymore''- She cleaned her tears with the back of her hand. She shocked her head and tried to smile-''I'm over it, maybe when they want to apologize, I don't want to hear them''
-''Easy San, you're saying that now, but believe me, you only have two parents and it's clear not to like them if they treat you like that but if they apologize, you should listen to them okay?''
-''Ooookay''- She smiled-''Why are you so smart?''-I smiled and looked at her brown dark eyes. I thought that it was the first time that someone used that adjective to describe me. I tried so hard to not blush.
-''We'll be fine, you'll see!''
-''I can start working with you at the club and...''-I stopped her with my hand on her mouth
-''It's too late and you need to rest, so I'm gonna let you the couch tonight I'm going to my bed...''
-''No way''-She interrupted me-''You're staying in there with me''- When I tried to refuse, she let escape a quietly ''please?''.She laid on the couch, but this time she let some space behind her for me to hug her. Oh, fuck, too cute to ignore her. I smiled and laid on the couch touching her warm arm.
-''Thanks''-She whispered
-''Why?''
-''For not being mad at me after all, I've been a selfish with all that stuff of the dance''-I blushed in the dark, who would be able to be mad at her when she was so adorable? I didn't answer it, instead of it, I kissed her kindly on the cheek. She jiggled a little and breathed deeply.
-''This is kind of beggining''-She said happily
-''It is''
I run my fingers trough her stomach. It never felt so good. I couldn't say if she was sleeping yet, but her breath was uniform and peaceful so I bet she was. I could get used to sleep like that, even in that couch.
