I was a nervous wreck. I was picking up Cata today and I was super nervous. What if she doesn't come? What if she wants to leave earlier then planned because I changed? All these what ifs running through my mind that I don't notice when Leslie pulls up to the airport.
"You ok? You seem scared." I just nodded my head before getting out of the car. We had 15 minutes to go. I sighed as I walked into the airport. We walked for what seemed like forever when we finally found the edit to her plane. I looked at the boys that had came with me. Daveed, Oak, Anthony, Lin, Chris, and Leslie. I smiled at them lightly before looking at the doors. They had just called out Catas plane number. I gave them one last glance and saw them give me a thumbs up. I turned towards the door and waited. At one point I was rubbing Catas bracelet she had given me on my 16th Birthday. That was the only good thing that happened that day.
After what seemed like forever I saw her. She was wearing a huge pullover, sweatpants, and uggs. I saw her grab her bags and walk out the door. I stood in shock before she turned and saw me. We started at each other before she dropped her stuff and ran towards me. I ran towards her and met her halfway. At one point we were laughing, the next we were crying. We both pulled away still crying. I saw a few people give me looks and I sent glares.
"Snow. It's really you. Holy shit. I missed you so much. I truly missed my closet friend. You really dont knoe how much you mean to me. I didnt know what to do without you. I have so much to tell you."
"Cata slow down. I missed you too. I was super pumped for today, I legit got no sleep last night. I have a funny story that I need to tell you when we get to my place. I have tons to tell really." We hugged again before going and getting her bags.
"So who are you here with? You didn't take a taxi did you?" I winked at her before grabbing her hand and walking towards the guys. I smiled at Catas face as she put the pieces together.
"Catalina, this is part of my family. This is Oak."
Oak waved and smiled.
"This is Daveed."
Daveed grinned and saluted.
"This is Anthony."
Anthony waved and bowed.
"This is Lin."
"Lin winked and spun around. I saw Cata smirk and my heart blew up. I forgot how pretty she was.
"This is Chris."
I saw Chris smile and shake her hand.
"And this is Leslie."
Leslie smiled and said.
"So your the mystery Catalina. It is a pleasure to meet you." I saw Cata smile as she hid behind me. I rolled my eyes and pulled her out from behind me.
"You can stay with me if you want or I can get you a hotel. It's up to you."
She gave me a look before rolling her eyes.
"Of course I'm staying with you. I haven't seen you in months. We need to catch up. I really did miss you Mon Ami." I smiled and saw Daveed grin at the French part. I sent him a glare. He laughed out loud but covered it with cough. I rolled my eyes and started to walk towards the car. We were in Lins car since it fit the most people.
Me and Cata got in the back back seat while the rest of the boys sat in the normal back seat or the front.
"Ok so if you don't mind me asking how did you meet these guys? And you said there where more. Please tell me there are some girls."
"Trust me when I say this put Oak, Daveed, Anthony, and Lin are the girls. They know more about fashion and makeup then the sisters. I mean the other girls. And i met them when i auditioned. Funny story really."
We sat back there talking about what we were going to do when I got a FaceTime call from jazzy. I sighed but answered.
"Hell-"
"Skip the small talk when can we meet the mysterious Catalina? I need to know so I can come presentable and not in my sweats and pull over with my messy bun. Tell me."
"Jazzy calm down. Sooty about that lil one. She was super annoying. She would stop trying to steal her phone from us. But did you already pick her up?"
I giggled as Pippa was shown holding Jazzy back. I showed Cata this causing her to giggle. I then see Jazzys face on the screen. She saw Cata and instantly became calm.
"Hey I'm Jazzy. I'm the crazy one."
"Jazzy your scaring the poor child. I'm Renee. The calm one."
"And I'm Pippa. The only normal one on this cast."
"Not true Pippa! I am normal when I want to be. But being normal is boring." I saw Cata smile as she heard me qoute our book.
"Being normal is boring. The only time I'm normal is for party's and work. So like twice a week."
We looked at each other before saying.
"I really need to stop going to party's every Saturday." We laughed and highfived.
"Aw well we just wanted to meet her. See you later. Bye."
I hear Pippa and Renee yell bye. I looked towards Cata. We started at each other before laughing.
"Oh god. Are they always like that?"
"Nope. A lot louder in person. Sorry."
"Hate to ruin the moment but we are here. Welcome to the Richard Rogers Theatre." I saw Catas eyes go big as they stare at me then at the theatre.
"You live here? In my dream theatre? Lucky! How do you when live here? Do you know what? All nighter tonight." I saw the boys give me a look but I just smiled.
"Deal. Now I have food upstairs of anyone wants some."
I saw Catas eyes go big as she gave me another look.
"Lets eat. You gotta explain and I want real food not crappy airplane food."We grabbed her bags from the trunk and the boys helped us up the stairs.
After the boys were sure that Cata was nice and cozy they left. As soon as they left I brought out pizza.
"If they had seen this they would have stayed longer to see if you were good. It's from Manhattan Chicago Pizza. This is the cast favorite pizza place." I said while grabbing a piece. She looked at me before grabbing a slice.
"Spill. The. Beans. Now do you live in the R.R.Theatre? How do you know Lin Manuel Miranda, the creater of In The Hieghts? Tell me everything and then I'll tell you everything." I smiled knowing it was killing her.
"So you know that it was my 16th birthday when my mom snapped right? So for some reason I just came to New York. I had heard about the foster system and did not want to be part of that. So I came here and saw this huge line for additions. So I auditioned. And I got they part. So I was walking away from learning I got the part when I was close to being mugged. But thank God I still remember those Karate classes. But I was stabbed in my arm. So Lin took me to the hospital. I was released two days after. I took a lot of pain meds the first 2 days. But after that the pain faded. So now I'm living here with the cast. I sleep here or sometimes I sleep over at one of the casts houses. Mostly Renee or Leslie. Sometimes Lin, Jazzy, Chris, Oak, and Daveed. It's fun. So that's my. Story what's yours?" I ask her. She looked me for a second before hugging me. I hugged back not knowing why.
"I thought you needed that. I can't believe you were stabbed and I didn't know. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you." She pulled out of the hug before smiling at me.
"As for my story it's just some same old crap. At the studio everyone is super sad that you stopped dancing. Ms. Jenifor misses you, she really misses her favorite student. As for me i don't do duets anymore. It's not the same without you. It's like something is missing. I don't know what but something was missing. So now I only do solos. It not the same without the friendly glares and the mock threats. You know who I'm going against? Catherine. She thinks she's on top of the world. She is so basic bitch that I just want to rip her weave out." I laugh as she falls backwards on the bed groaning.
"Can't I just have a friendly competition with someone st that studio. She gave me food poisoning for God's sake. She almost made me twist me ankle for cutting me off In my first and last duet with her. I legit did one dance with her and told Ms.Jenifor that I'm not doing duets anymore. She nodded at made it into a solo for the basic bitch." She sat up and sighed. I gave her a raised eyebrow. 'You done?' She nodded 'yeah'. After awhile of just talking and making jokes I notice the time. It was 3 in the morning.
"Holy crap is that the time? Wow we really did pull a all nighter. Wow. Im surprised one of us is supposed to be asleep." I laugh as I slide on my PJs. I was wearing my wizard of oz one causing Cata to groan.
"You and your wizard of oz crap. I love them." I smiled as I sat next to her. We kept talking until she fell asleep. I looked the time and see it was only 4. I shook my head and fell asleep next to her. The last thing that crossed my mind was how pretty she was.
