Chapter 2

As soon as I got home, I directly went to my fax and checked it. I picked up the script, it was a few pages and I couldn't wait to start reading it and practicing my lines. I have to admit, I didn't have such a huge role but I was in heaven. I was gonna be on Glee, I was gonna be on TV, and I yes I, was going to meet the one and only Naya Rivera, I'm flipping out.

2 days later, I get a call from Ryan telling me to come to the studio to start planning because we needed to start filming as soon as we can. It was 10am and I had to be there at 12, I was suffocating, my nerves weren't calling down, I had knots in my stomach, how was I supposed to handle myself in front of them, especially when I'm going to be meeting the cast. And that means Lea, Chris, Harry, Chover, Darren, all of them! AND THAT MEANT NAYA. I was panicking so badly I was on the verge of calling Ryan and cancelling but I couldn't, that was my dream.

I sucked it up and made my way to the studio. Once I got there, the Secretary told me where to go. I reached a room where the walls were made of glass, it was huge and beautiful and wow the view was completely insane. I went in as I saw Ryan. He smiled widely when he saw me and came to hug me before telling me to have a seat.

There were a few other members sitting around the large table and Ryan started presenting them to me, they were the rest of the crew, writers, video crew, etc. And there was also a video camera filming me for some reason, it felt awkward but I shrugged it off. My life has just begun. He started explaining to me what my character's job is and all I have to know and then, he mentioned something about my character being Santana's new girlfriend. I stood up in shock.

-What? Nonon, I got the script and there was nothing written about me being Santana's new girlfriend!

-Yes we know, we sent you less than half of the original script and we left all the girlfriend part outside of it.

-What b-but why?

-We were afraid you would decide not to do the acting and bail on us and we really wanted you here so we didn't really have a choice.

-But I can't do it, I can't play Santana's new love interest, I can't play Santana Lopez's lesbian girlfriend!

I began shaking, I can't do it, I can't play Naya Rivera's love interest I just can't!

Naya's POV

So it was today that the newbie was coming, I was rather excited to meet her, Ryan told me she's a sweetheart and that I was her idol. He also mentioned how much of an emotional wreck she was when they called her to tell her they had chosen her, it was pretty cute. I still hadn't seen her anywhere, I asked around and nobody had seen her until Natasha, the secretary told me that she was in the meeting room talking with Ryan and the members of the crew. I made my way upstairs, not knowing what to expect.

I had no idea what she looked like but I was determined to make her feel welcome, I know how it feels to be the new kid in the block, I still remember how nervous I was when I first joined. Thank God I wasn't the only new one though, we were are new so we bonded directly. But she was joining our family, she was the only new one and she was gonna be my on-screen girlfriend so I had to make sure she felt comfortable with everyone, especially me. I also learned she was only 20 years old which is adorable. As I was making my way to the door, I see her back directed to me and she and Ryan where in a very heated discussion. I open the door slightly enough to hear a bit of their conversation.

-[...]So you will also be playing Santana's new girlfriend on-screen. I saw her standing up abruptly.

-What? Nonon, I got the script and there was nothing written about me being Santana's new girlfriend!

-Yes we know, we sent you less than half of the original script and we left all the girlfriend part outside of it.

-What b-but why?

-We were afraid you would decide not to do the acting and bail on us and we really wanted you here so we didn't really have a choice.

-But I can't do it, I can't play Santana's new love interest, I can't play Santana Lopez's lesbian girlfriend!

I made a disgusted face, turned on my heels and left without bothering to meet her. She was clearly a homophobic so what the hell was she doing here. She disgusted me. She calls herself a fan when she's a homophobic b*tch? How can she love me so much when she's just a judgmental idiot? She infuriated me. After witnessing her being an incredible snob, I made myself promise that I will make her regret joining our family, we don't appreciate judgmental people and that's what she was. She didn't deserve to be here. She doesn't deserve any of our warmth and friendship.

Cassandra's POV.

-But I can't do it, I can't play Santana's new love interest, I can't play Santana Lopez's lesbian girlfriend!

They didn't understand! I can't play her girlfriend, I was too intimidated by her.. They all stared at me with shocked eyes but Ryan was once again the first to speak.

-And why can't you be her on-screen girlfriend?

-Because look at me! Look at her previous girlfriends! She started with Heather Morris, she was blonde, has amazing blue eyes, she was thin and gorgeous and had so much talent, then there was Demi Lovato, probably the most perfect human being on earth after Naya, she was flawless, had a killer voice, looked sexy as hell and well, she was Demi Lovato. You can't end Naya with...me.

I told them, with tears in my eyes and pointing at myself.

-I don't deserve to be Santana's last girlfriend, the public's gonna be infuriated if you put me, you can find plenty of gorgeous, thin and flawless girls out there, I can't do it...Naya's just so perfect, she deserves better. She deserves someone who can at least match her up with something whether it's talent, beauty or courage. I got nothing, I'm really sorry I wasted your time but Naya deserves perfection and that's not me. I'm truly sorry I wasted your time but I think the best way to end it with Naya would be Demi, they fit perfectly together.

By now I had tears falling down my face, not daring to look at anyone. I turned around and started walking towards the door before Ryan stopped me.

-Look Cassandra, I know what you're thinking but we chose you for a reason, we think you'd be perfect for it and the thought of you not being enough for it just proves that we chose an amazing person to join our family, we can't ask for better. Hey look at me, stay. Stay for a bit, we'll try it, and if after a while you don't feel comfortable then you can quit. Deal?

-Deal.

-But you have nothing to be afraid of, you underestimate yourself way too much sweetheart, give yourself a break.

-Thank you Ryan, I appreciate it.
