Chapter 2
Two weeks passed and I had easily learned our songs. Izzy, Erica and April helped me a lot. I really like them, though I hate that they always complain about ,,the chics’’, as they call them. I mean, they don’t like that the chics always gossip about everyone, but they’re doing the same! That’s ridiculous! And I still have the impression, that they’re very nice. Especially Callie! I even talked to them once .. well, at least they introduced themselves and wanted to know a bit about me. Whatever, today is the first rehearsal with the orchestra. I’m really excited! I never sang with an orchestra before. Everybody else is completely calm. For them it’s nothing new. Even the youngest girls aren’t giddy while we all make our way downstairs towards the orchestra room.
,,Your first time with an orchestra, isn’t it?’’ Erica asks.
,,Am I that obvious?’’ I replie. She laughs.
,,Yes, you are! But seriously, you don’t need to be nervous. They’re all very nice and if you’ll ha a problem singing with all these instruments, just stick to us.’’
,,Thank you.’
We enter the room and take our seats on the chairs next to the orchestra. Mr Baker stands right in front of us.
,,Ladies, I would like to try something.’’ He announces. ,,Could you please mix the vocal groups? I think it’ll sound better and a lot more interessting. One soprano, one mezzo and one alto, then the next group. Hurry please!’’
I quickly find a mezzo and an alto and we sit down in the middle of the second row.
,,Do you mind if I sit here?’’ I turn my gaze towards the voice.
,,Callie! Um .. yes .. I mean, no, I don’t mind!’’ I ramble. She gives me one of her radiant smiles.
,,Arizona? You okay?’’ she asks and I realise I’m staring.
,,Yes, Im fine!’’ I quickly say and look down on my hands. What is wrong with me?! I feel her hand on my thigh.
,,Are you sure? You look like you don’t feel well.’’ She says, concern lacing her voice. She cares? Why?
,,No, I’m good, just a little nervous about the rehearsal with the orchestra.’’ I lie.
,,Oh, you don’t have to be nervous. It’s so much fun working with these people and the dirigent, Mr Maler, is the best. And he’s very nice.’’ She calmes me. Her hand’s still on my thigh. Why is it still on my thigh? Does she like me? As in like .. like me? Oh, what am I thinking?! Of course, she doesn’t! She has a boyfriend and I’m not gay! For christ’s sake! She’s just being nice and I like her. Nothing more.
,,Zona?’’ God, I’m staring again! Wait, did she just call me Zona?
,,Sorry.’’ I mumble looking down on my hands again. And her hand. Which is still on my thigh. Stop it!
,,Are you really okay?’’ she asks again. I look up at her.
,,I .. I .. um, I just need to get some fesh air.’’ I say and practically run out of the room. I need to get away from her .. from this room .. from everything. I run down the stairs and head outside the building. I sit down on a bench in front of the building and bury my head in my hands. I need to think. Why do I feel so drawn to her? My friends say she’s a bitch and she really is bitchy with everyone .. but me .. She’s always nice to me. Why can’t she be bitchy with me?! Maybe then I wouldn’t lo .. What? No, I don’t love her! She’s a girl! Damn!
,,Hey.’’ Oh god .. no! ,,What’s wrong? Can I do something for you?’’ Callie asks. ,,I look up at her. ,,Have you been crying?’’ She lookes at me with concern. I lift my hand to touch my cheek and feel that I actually had tears running down my face. And I didn’t even realise it! I quickly wipe them away.
,,Um, no, I just .. It’s just my allergy.’’ I lie. Wow! That was bad! Callie sits down next to me and wraps an arm around my shoulders. Again I feel electricity flow through my body. This has to stop!
,,I really don’t believe you, but it’s okay. I won’t force you to say anything you don’t want to say.’’ She says. ,,But at least I can sit here with you for a while, okay?’’ I sigh.
,,Why are you so nice to me?’’ I ask silently. When she looks at me a little hurt and lets her arm drop from my shoulders, I inwardly slap myself. ,,I .. I mean ..’’ She holds up her hands to stop me.
,,I know what you mean!’’ she snaps. ,,People don’t like me in this choir. Me and my friends. We haven’t done anything, but we are th bitches. It sucks! And every new girl is told to stay away from us and that’s exactly what they always do!’’ she finishes obviously hurt.
,,I’m sorry!’’ I apologize. ,,That’s exactly what they told me, but to be honest, I don’t think you are bitches.’’ She gives me a small smile.
,,Thank you!’’ she whispers. ,,And for the record, I like you. You seem like a nice person and you don’t judge us just from hearing those things. That’s never happened before.’’
,,That’s really a shame! You’re such a nice person.’’ I smile at her reassuringly. As she looks up at me, I see the tears in her eyes. I feel so sorry for her. She doesn’t deserve that! Nobody deserves to be treated like that! I pull her into my arms to comfort her. I’m surprised that she doesn’t pull back. Instead she wraps her arms around my waist and lays her head on my shoulder. Though the situation is not funny, I can’t help the small smile that creeps up my cheeks. It feels so good to be in her arms. To hold her in my arms. I push allmy confusing thoughts aside and enjoy this moment. After what feels like an eternity, Callie pulls back from our embrace. I see some tearstrains across her cheeks, but she smiles at me shyly.
,,Sorry for crying on your shirt.’’ She says. ,,And for laying all my problems on you. You looked like you have enough to deal with.’’
,,Hey, it’s no problem.’’ I replie. ,,I like to help.’’
,,Thanks. But now I’d like to help you, too! If I can, that is .. and if you want me to!’’
,,It’s okay. My poblem is stupid! Never mind!’’
,,If you say so.’’ She says. ,,But if you want to talk about it any time, I’ll be there, okay?’’
,,Thanks!’’ I say. ,,I think we should get back. They’ll start to worry.’’ I think I see disappointment in her eyes for a second, but as quickly as it came, it’s gone.
,,You’re probably right.’’
We get up and head inside. We slip into the orchestra room silently and take our seats next to each other. The rest of the practice is pretty uneventful, despite the fun I have singing with the orchestra. It sends shivers down my spine and goozebumps appear all over my body. It’s an awesome feeling to be in the middle of such a great moment! Oh, and Callie .. her voice .. just .. Wow! Now that she sits next to me, I can hear her for the first time and it truly takes my breath away! Though I’m still struggling with my feelings for her, I start to accept that I’m drawn to her. So what?! She’s so strong and caing and honourable and absolutely beautiful. How can you not fall in love with her?!
The practice ends and Mr Baker joins us again.
,,Ladies, I’m really proud of your work today.’’ He says smiling in the group. ,,You did a great job and we made a lot of progress thanks to you. That’s why Ms Smith and I decided to cancel the next rehearsal on Wednesday.’’
The girls start to cheer and immediately make plans for the now free afternoon. I smile and get my stuff together.
,,Bye, Zona!’’ Callie says and pulls me into her arms. ,,Thank you again!’’ she whispers in my ear before kissing my cheek. She pulls back and turns to leave.
,,Bye!’’ is all I can get out. I’m stunned. I touch my cheek where her lips had touched me just seconds ago. The spot is still tingling and I realise that my hands are shaking. I quickly glance around to see if anyone noticed and my eyes land on Izzy, Erica and April who are looking at me in shock. I quickly grab my bag and head out into the night. Shit! Hopefully they didn’t notice my true feelings and were just shocked we’d hugged! Well, whatever, there’s no point for me in denying them anymore, my feelings for Callie. I have to face it. I have a cush on her!
