Hi! So ive seen that there isn't really any jyder fanfiction up! (jake and Ryder) so I will try and make one. Sorry if any mistakes, this is on an iPod.

Well, enjoy!

Also for my other stories, sorry for not updating them, my laptop is being stupid, but as soon as I can I'll post again. :)

Ryder walked into the locker room after a rough football practice. He just wanted to change, get on the bus and go home. But he knew he couldn't just go home. His parents saw how his grades were slipping, not clueing in on why, but they forbade him from playing football until he shows improvement. He took his helmet off and ran his hand through his sweaty hair.

He looked around, and saw nobody in the room at the moment. He quickly stripped his football gear and slipped some normal clothes on. He stuffed the dirty clothes into the hamper, and headed to the door.

As he went to open it, someone pushed it open, making the door hit him in the face, also making him fall to the floor.

'dammit.' Ryder muffled under his breath. He stood and saw his friend/enemy, Jake Puckerman. He wasn't really sure what exactly they were. He had practically hated him until he helped him through his dyslexia. He didn't say anything to jake, figured it was the smart thing to do.

He then headed for the door once more, rubbing his head.

'wait, where are you going?' jake asked, hoping to get his attention. 'leaving' Ryder commented, opening the door. 'don't go. I don't want to be alone.'

Big old jake didn't want to be alone? Heh, didn't picture that. Ryder rolled his eyes, as he watched jake take a seat. Jake patted the spot next to him, wanting Ryder to sit. Ryder obeyed and took a seat beside him.

'so, you look tired' jake laughed. 'no shit, I just ran 5 and a half miles, no breaks then took a beating by my teammates at practice. Damn right I'm tired.' Ryder laughed a bit, but then started coughing a bit. He stood and headed to the water fountain. He bent down, and squirted some water in his mouth. Jake peeked over, and noticed he was bent over.

Ever since that whole, dyslexia thing, Jake's seeing Ryder in a whole new light. Not a strong, live days as if it's your last, but actually a weak, poor little boy trapped inside a 16 year olds body. Ryder got back up, and noticed jake gawking. 'whatcha staring at bud?' Ryder laughed, knowing the answer. 'oh nothing, just thinking in space.'

Ryder nodded and sat back beside jake. 'so, um.. This is awkward but, you haven't told anyone have you?' Ryder asked. 'About you having dyslexia? Course not, that's private.' jake smiled at Ryder, making Ryder smile back. Oh that smile, the smile that made jake melt. If he was having a bad day, seeing that grin brightened his mood.

Not knowing he had been grinning like an idiot, jake felt embarrassed when Ryder was calling him.

'you sure you're okay?' Ryder asked, putting his hand on Jakes shoulder. Jake shivered at the touch, and nodded. 'why are you lying to me? Clearly you're out of it. Tell me what's going on right now or I'll punch you so hard.' Ryder made a fist, making jake a bit worried. Jake gulped, and flinched a bit. Ryder suddenly loosened the fist, and stared at jakes face, concerned. 'dude, calm down it was a joke. What's up with you lately? Skipping glee practices, not showing up to classes, acting weird. What is going on?'

'I just can't see you anymore okay? Not in class, glee, anything.' jake yelled, getting off the bench. 'what did I do jake? I'm sorry if I did something to upset you.' Ryder also got up, and walked to jake. 'you didn't do anything, it's me!' jake shouted at Ryder, starting to lose all self control. 'I dont get what's going on jake, can you please explain?'

'I can't explain it!' jake punched the locker, tears were streaming down his face. 'well, if you help me understand maybe I can-' Ryder started, but got interrupted by jake smashing his lips onto Ryder's. It felt, weird for Ryder. He never thought jake felt this way. It was odd, but for some reason he didn't want it to stop. Jake had been waiting for this, and it's better then he anticipated. He slowly pulled away from Ryder, and just looked at his reaction. All Ryder could mutter out was, 'wow'.

'now you know. Im sorry Ryder, I really am. I didn't want these feelings, but they still ended up coming.' jake wiped away a few tears, but it didn't really help any. 'jake, stop crying. Stop apologizing. It's going to be okay.' Ryder took jakes hand, but instead of holding it, he brought jake in for a hug. 'I know you don't like guys, I didn't think I did either-' 'no jake, just shush.'

That night, Ryder thought all about what he would say to jake. He recalled back to when they first met. In the auditions for grease. Jake was pretty impressive with his dance, but at that time all he could think of was beating him for the role of Danny zuko. He thought of their big duet in glee club. "I am superman" it was fun, and he didn't want to make a fight, but it just led to that. He then thought about what happened earlier. How he wanted to hold his hand, wanting to make him feel better. So, did he want to be with jake? He had to give him an answer. And fast, or jake might feel rejected. Hmm what to do...

Thanks for reading ! Next chapter up shortly.
