In Simone's POV.
You know this is not how I thought my second at NYADA college was going to be like. I was going to focus on my studies. Hang out with my best friends Marlena, Jane, Tomas, Ella, Jaxson and Cree. I was going to focus on the winter showcase and try to deal with my annoying dorm roommate Esmee while trying to find a girl to hook up with but that all changed when I met one Rachel Barbra Berry. A freshman at NYADA.
She's something else. She's very dramatic, headstrong, clingly a little but she's super cool to hang out. Her singing is out of this world. We're roommates now and I was loving every second of it.
Rachel was at dance class with Miss July then she was coming back. Until then I have my best friends Marlena and Ella over to hang out. Jane, Jaxson and Cree had classes today while we didn't.
"So when were you going to tell me about your crush on a freshman at NYADA?" I stared at Marlena and Ella wondering what they were talking about.
"Oh please don't act like you don't know what were talking about. We know you have a crush on your new roommate Rachel. Are you going to make a move?"
"No because we're just best friends who became roommates not too long ago. Also She's got unfinished business with her boyfriend/fiance who's in the army. I'm just glad we're friends." Marlena smirked at me.
"But if she didn't have a boyfriend, would you make a move?" I looked away from them rolling my eyes. I love my girls but they were annoying when it came to trying to set me up with girls.
"Oh girl you know she totally would. She's the Simone Edwards. She's a Girl crazy, PETA loving, True best friend and a love at first sight type girl. She'll make her move way before Rachel's boyfriend shows up." Ella spoke smirking at me.
"Speaking of Rachel. When are we actually going to meet her?" They have met her.
"She's in your acting 101 class girls." They stared at me rolling their eyes. I hate when they do that.
"We mean on a personal note Simone. She's your roommate and new best friend after all. We want to get to know her too. We want to see what she's like and figure out if she's perfect for you." Marlena tells me.
"Um I never really got around to telling her about you girls but I will I promise." They were about to say something when Marlena's cell rings.
"Oh it's Brody." Marlena says grinning. She answers it while I talk to Ella.
"I really don't get what she sees in him. He's a player. They only went on two dates and already she's becoming lovestruck." Ella nods agreeing with me.
"Besides I saw him checking out Rachel last week. I think he might want her." No he can't be into my roommate. I don't want Rachel to be hurt by a player like him.
"She wouldn't be intereted in him anyways. Finn's all she thinks about." Ella just shrugs. Marlena gets off the phone with a sad expression on her face.
"Let me guess. He told you that he didn't want it to serious and your free to see whoever you want?" She nodded.
"I already told you he wasn't a good guy. He's a player and you don't belong with a player." She just sighs rolling her eyes.
"Whatever I'm out of here. Are you coming Ella?" I know she's mad me but she needs to get over it. Brody Weston isn't worth it.
"Yeah I'm coming. We'll call you later girl. Make sure you tell Rachel about us and about the others too." I nodded hugging them both and they leave.
I love my friends but they were just too nosy. The loft door slides open and I turned to see Rachel standing there with a tired look on her face.
"Hey Rach how was dance class?" She just groaned closing the door.
"I don't know how much I can take of Miss July's bitching. I swear she's out to get me." I walked over to her pulling her to the couch and we sit down.
She stares at me sighing. I place her legs across me and she listens to me as I talk.
"Rach life isn't easy. You want to be on Broadway right?" She nodded.
"Well guess what? you have to work for it. Did you ever wonder if Cassandra July is hard on you because she knows that you have what it takes?" Rachel scuffed.
"Please I delt with bullies in my life and I know when somebody doesn't like me. She's one of those people." I just shook my head.
"Whatever you say babe." Damn it did I just call her babe? what the hell was I thinking doing that.
"Um I mean't Rachel. I'm sorry for calling you babe." Rachel grabbed my hand.
"Calm down Simone. I don't have a problem with it. We're still best friend and roommates. It could be a little pet name as friends and I'll call you Hon." I liked that.
"So you up for watching Funny Girl?" I asked her. I know how much she loves it.
"Oh you know me so well. I'll make the popcorn." I laughed and get the movie while she does that.
At Central Park Two Days Later.
Rachel was tired of her dance teacher being out to get her. Atleast she had Simone to cheer her up but she wanted Kurt or Finn around. She needed one of them. Finn wasn't answering her phone calls or texts. She even wrote him letters and of course nothing got sent back to her.
Her phone begins to ring. She saw Kurt calling her and answered it.
"Hey what's wrong? you sound sad." She starts tearing up.
"I lied. I'm not okay. I miss you and I miss everything. I had to leave my dorm because my roommate was sleeping with everybody. My dance teacher is a monster. I miss Finn. I just want some of my old life back." She tells him.
"Time to get a new roommate perhaps?" She sighs saying yeah. She loved having Simone as her roommate but it would be nice if Kurt could join her.
"Turn around." She turned around seeing Kurt standing there with his phone to his ear waving at her. She smiled tearfully and hung up. She ran to him and he picked her up as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She missed him so much.
"Oh my god I've missed you so much." He put her down then placed his hands on her face.
"Look at you. I'm loving your clothes and your hair." Kurt says smiling at her. She grins wiping her tears and hugged him again.
"So are you ready to be my second roommate?" Kurt looked at her curiously.
"Second roommate? Wait your living with somebody else already? are they okay with me living with you guys?" Rachel bit her lip wanting Simone to be a surprise to him.
"Yes they know your going to be living with us. You'll have to sleep in their bed tonight but tomorrow we can go shopping for your bedding and whatever you need. They'll just be sharing with me tonight." She tells him as she helps him with his bags and they started to walk to the subway to bushwick.
When they got on the Subway Kurt started asking more questions.
"So does this roommate have a name? is a male and female roommate." Rachel stayed quiet.
"Am I going to know Rachel. I don't want you to be living with some crazy person that could kill you in your sleep."
"She's not like that." Kurt raised an eyebrow at her. He thinks it's Santana.
"It's Santana isn't it. Since when did you two become friends over the summer?" Rachel stared at him.
"It's not Santana." He didn't believe her. He'll act surprised but he knows it's Santana.
"How is Blaine? are you two good?" Kurt nodded. He wished Blaine graduated with them but he was in a lower grade then them.
"He's good. He wants to be the New Rachel in Glee club. Tina seems to be fighting him on it." Rachel laughed.
"Oh my god I can't believe everybody is fighting over to be the New me." He hugged her.
"Yeah but they have this new girl Marley Rose who could totally be the new you. She's got the voice and she's so nice." Rachel was glad New Directions had more people.
"So am I going to like our new home away from home?" Rachel grins nodding. Kurt smiles back at her and grabbed her hand. He was so happy to see his best friend.
Kurt and Rachel walked into the loft and Kurt looked around seeing how cool it looked.
"Wow this place is huge. You and this roommate of ours did really well with making this play look like a home." Rachel smiles.
"I know right. Well it looks like she's not here right now but I'll show you where your going to be staying for the night and we can do whatever you please." Rachel helps him with his things and he liked it.
"This is nice. Where is your side?" Rachel points behind him. She shoes him and he liked it.
"Now when did you change your hair?" Rachel ran a finger through her hair.
"Two days after I showed up here. I wanted to look more mature. Why don't you like it?" He touched her hair.
"I love it actually. I thought you would look good with some lighter color to your hair. I'm sure my step brother would love it too." Rachel frowns thinking about Finn.
"I know you miss him. I miss him too." Rachel sighs nodding.
"Anyways I'm thinking pasta for dinner. But we have to be somewhere right now so we better get going before we miss it." They leave after Rachel grabs her keys and locks it after Kurt walked out.
At NYADA.
When Rachel and Kurt walked into the room Simone was at and the music begins to play. The backup guys and girls begin to sing as the band played.
The way that you're moving
You know what you're doing
I want you to prove that I'm right about you
Do it, hey, admit it
Ooh, sing it
Simone looked at them waving as she sings focusing on her singing. She was glad Rachel was there to hear her sing.
"Are you it's okay for us to be in here?" Kurt whispered to Rachel. She nodded.
Oh, I got the feeling down deep inside
Got the feeling I can't deny
Got the feeling that makes me high
Only thing is baby, I want it all
I want it all
Rachel and Kurt moved to the beat just listening to her sing. Kurt wasn't sure who this person was but she was amazing and belonged on the radio.
All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all
All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all
Simone glanced at them again seeing them moving to the beat and smirked as she danced and sang with the band.
You get me excited
But I keep it private
My world is divided without you
It won't be the same, can't take it
Ooh, sing it
She made her way over to them and pulled them over to her and they danced with her as she sang.
Oh, I got the feeling down deep inside
Got the feeling I can't deny
Got the feeling that makes me high
Only thing is baby, I want it all
I want it all
Kurt danced with Rachel who grins. He noticed the look on the singers face as she sang to his best friend and it surprised him.
All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all
All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all
Simone grabbed Rachel's hand pulling her close singing right to her with the backup singers. Rachel just smiles dancing with her.
Got the feeling down deep inside
Got the feeling I can't deny
Got the feeling that makes me high
Only thing is baby, I want it all
I want it all
Kurt's eyes widen not believing what he just saw. He's never seen another person flirt with his best friend before besides Finn.
All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all
She spins Rachel out of her arms not letting go of her hand and finished the last part of her song.
All I need is one more night with you
It's amazing what just one more night can do
I want it all
I want it all
The band keeps playing and they all danced until she cued them to stop. They stopped and Rachel clapped that.
"Oh my god that was so good. Your voice gets better and better everytime I hear it." Rachel tells Simone as they hugged.
Kurt just stood there awkwardly staring at the girl that had on black high waist shorts with black high heeled boots. She had on a white and black baggy crop top. Her hair was down in curls. He noticed the red and pink ends.
"Kurt I want you to meet our roommate Simone Edwards. She's like my best friend." Simone smiled at him.
"Nice to meet you Kurt. Welcome to New York. Most of all Welcome to NYADA's campus." Kurt smiles.
"Well you must be starving Kurt. Do you want to have lunch and we can get to know each other better?" Simone asked him.
"Yeah that sounds good. You sounded amazing." She smiles.
"Thanks I just love singing. I just wanted you guys to hear me sing. Bye guys thanks for helping me." Simone grabbed her bag then grabbed Rachel's hand pulling her out of the room.
Kurt stared at them surprised. What the hell has been going on since he's been in Lima. Was Finn even on his best friends mind anymore?
"Are you joining us Kurt or not?" Rachel called out to him as she's no longer holding Simone's hand.
"Yeah I'm coming." He rushed up to them and they all walked out together talking.
Later That Night.
Kurt just got out of the shower of his new place after the day he had with Rachel and Simone. He still had a feeling that something was going on with those two. He put on his night clothes after he dried off.
When he walked out of the bathroom he saw Simone in her night clothes texting on her phone with Rachel nowhere to be found.
"Hey Is Rachel sleeping?" Simone looked up nodding.
"Yeah our dance teacher tires her out. So what are your plans while your here?"
"Well I have a interview with next week so hopefully I'll get that and I'll apply for NYADA in Decemeber." Simone nodded.
"That's great Kurt. With your clothing choices. Your perfect for ." He really hopes so.
"Can I ask you a question?" She nodded.
"Sure what's up?"
"What's going on with you and Rachel?" She stared at him unsure how to answer that.
"Um what do you mean by that?" She asked him. She didn't know him very to be telling him about her feelings for their roommate and friend Rachel.
"Well you two seem pretty close. Do you know she's engaged or sort of engaged to my step brother?" Simone nodded.
"Yes I do know that she's engaged to Finn but it's been months since she's heard from him. What's she supposed to do?" Kurt was about to speak when Simone cut him off.
"Kurt I know your hoping that Rachel ends up your sister in law but she might want to move on. He's not around and I'm going to be there for her. I've been here for her before you showed up. She means everything to me." He sighs.
"Good night Kurt. See you in the morning. And to answer your question. Yes I do have feelings for Rachel." She picked up her phone and walked to Rachel's side of the room and went to bed.
Kurt stood there sighing really hoping that Finn would show up at some point. He didn't mind Rachel with Simone but he knows how it was before when Rachel cheated on Finn with Puck. It hurt Finn badly. He wanted both of them to be happy.
He went to Simone's side of the room and got into bed sighing. He turned the light off and texted Blaine for a little bit. He was going to ask Rachel how she felt about Simone in the morning but right now he needed sleep.
