Chereads / DEEP SECRETS - My Father's Murderer / Chapter 24 - CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

Chapter 24 - CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

Lunch was over and it was finally time for club and sports activities and I can't say I was more or least excited about it. Now that I think of it, there's only one club I'd love to join and that's dance club. I mean, I wouldn't wanna cross paths with bitchy Samantha or Arrogant grumpy Diamond all the time so I'll just forget about basketball and swim club and just rather stick with nice barbie Gianna , weird Kayden and timid Diana, unfortunately, I can't escape Miss Parrot , Gretel.

I've only been in this school for four days and I already knew so many people. How did my life suddenly change from the 'no friends' policy to the 'Hey, you're all welcome in, I'm very accommodating' policy. This is bizzare, what in the world! I mean my life.

Gianna dragged us all into the girls' locker room which looked really spacious. There were so many lockers and the room was painted in white. There were a few girls already changing into their club outfits. Some even walked out of the bathroom and around either wearing just their panties and bra or stark naked. What's this? I can't be in here for too long or I might just puke.

Don't get me wrong, the place doesn't stink, it's just the sight of naked girls and all that irritates me. We made our way over to the locker in the middle where dance club outfits were kept. "Hey Gianna" A girl called out. "Hey Carly." Gianna replied her. Carly was a blonde with pretty grey eyes just like Gianna's. She wore a bumshort and a bra top and she was really pretty. "Who are your girls?" She asked Gianna referring to us. "They're my friends. Gretel, Diana and Melissa." Gianna introduced us and we said hi. She smiled at us in reply. "Guys, this is…" "…Carly Mitchell!" Gretel and Diana cut her off at the same time and we all stared surprisingly at them.

"Sorry, it's just I'm a big fan of yours and I love your acting. You're really pretty too." Gretel rambled on. She's a fan of every celebrity. Do they pay her or something? " Yeah. Me too. You're pretty awesome. Can we get your autograph?" Diana asked. " Sure, why not." Carly replied and signed on their shirts. They held each other's hands and squealed loudly. " This is my new favorite shirt." Gretel said loudly and I scoffed. Typical dramatic Gretel. Turns out Carly is a final year student and she's in the drama club. She seemed pretty cool and chill but I have enough friends already, I wasn't planning on adding any more.

After Carly left, We all took out some clothes to change. They weren't exactly uniforms, they were just cool dancing outfits like leggings, joggers, bra tops, loose shirts, sweat shirts and pants, crop top,,, yunno what I mean. Without a second thought, Gianna took off her uniform leaving on just a bra top, she then took out a leggings and wore it on. "Done. Hurry up guys, no time." She said to the rest of us. Gretel followed and took off her uniform, she wore a crop top and sweat pants, Diana shyly took off her uniform and took some clothes from the locker. She was soon wearing a sweat shirt and pants.

All the while, I could only stare at them. They cared less about the other people in the room but I cared a bunch. I have never changed in front of anyone but my Mom. Now they expect me to do that here? "Mel, aren't you gonna change?" Gretel asked me. "Isn't there like, a changing room or something in here?" I asked hesitantly. It seemed like Gianna got the message as she smiled. "We're all girls Lissa, there's no reason for you to be embarrassed. Besides, you won't have to take everything off." She said. " How about you go over to the corner away from the eyes of everyone, we'll keep a watch out and give you a signal if someone's coming."Gretel suggested and I nodded, took some clothes and sauntered to the corner of the room.

I unbuttoned my shirt and took it off with the tie, then I took off my skirt, my stockings and shoes. Now I was left in just my underwear. I quickly wore on a loose shirt with one side of the neck hanging down my shoulder leaving my left bra hand visible and wore on a joggers and I was ready to go. I got to where the girls stood and Gianna handed us some new sneakers. "Special welcome gifts from your dance captain. One for you, one for you and one for you. Now run along my humble followers." She dramatically says while handing each of us one and leads the way to the dance hall and we followed.

As we walked down the hall, Gianna suddenly spoke up. "Yunno, I was thinking. All the while we've been friends, none of you has ever asked for my autograph but you've going around asking other. Am I the worst celebrity that lives? " Wait. Is she jealous? This is funny. " Huh? That's not it. I love you and I'm your biggest fan. I just thought since we were friends, I could get your autograph anytime. " Gretel defended. " Yes, me too. " Diana said as well. " Lissa? " Gianna looked at me expectantly.

Not wanting to disappoint her. I quickly held out my shirt to get and said. " Sign me now. Your autograph is the only one I'll ever want. " She giggled and brought out her pen to sign. After walking for a few minutes, We entered a big spacious hall with a big mirror wall at each side of it. It was truly beautiful. Where in this school is not? Golden Records did a good job. The moment we walked in, we met a few strange faces and one familiar one, of course it was one of the Golden boys, Kayden.

He was saying something to the others but paused when we entered. "My partner has finally arrived. Oh and she brought guests." He said and a few girls giggled?, Does that make sense?,, Whatever. "They're not guests Kayden, they're here for tryouts." Gianna told him. "That's great. Welcome ladies, please join the others." Kayden said pointing at some other newbies at the side. "Tryouts?" Diana whispered. "Yeah. Don't worry, it's kinda just a formality, you're already in." Gianna assured her. "So,, I have.. to dance?,, like today, right now?" Diana asked looking nervous.

"Mm. From tryouts, we'll figure out where we need to work on you, plus, it helps you obtain a bond with everyone here, yunno so you can belong and feel free. Feel at home. What else do you do in a dance club if not dance. " Gianna explained. " Oh. I see." Diana muttered. I'm about to do something I don't usually do. I put my hand on her shoulder to comfort her. "Hey, we're here for you. There's no need to be scared. You can do this, just imagine you're all alone and in front of your mirror. It's a good thing there are mirrors around." I said pointing at the mirror wall and she nodded. "Yeah, Lissa's right. You have nothing to fear. Here, anyone can dance, fall and no one would laugh. It all part of the fun." Gretel added. I suddenly felt really cheesy but whatever. I already said it, I couldn't take it back...
