Chapter 1 A Shot Goes Off

Jake

Overall it had been a good day for Jake or as he would say as good as a school day could be. He didn't really like school but there was no way he was going to drop out. The day started off good, he wasn't late for school, he got a B on his Biology test and all his classes were going by pretty fast. He knew he would be in Glee club soon and that made his last class go by even faster. Glee club was his favorite time of the day, he got to see all of his friends, sing and dance, and best of all he got to hang out with Marley. He didn't really see her a lot in school because she was in all the smart classes and he wasn't, they had a few together but he always wished they had more.

Now that they were officially dating he couldn't have been happier and he loved spending time with her. He was miserable when she was with Ryder and now he was never going to take her for granted. Even though he wasn't really used to being in a relationship, he had to admit he liked it. Marley made him happy and made him feel like a better person and that if he put his mind to it he could do whatever he wanted, even become a professional dancer, which he would only admit to Marley. Without Marley and Glee club Jake was pretty sure that he wouldn't be doing too well right now. So as he walked to Glee club a smile spread across his face without him even knowing.

Marley

She always arrived early to Glee club because she had a free period before and she loved being in the choir room. Everything about it made her smile, the people, the instruments and the music. Other than at home with her mom and when she was with Jake this was one of the only places she could truly be herself and be accepted. She had always had a hard time fitting in but she had found in her place in Glee club.

She had been writing songs in here lately and she found that she could find inspiration in the choir room more than she did at home. As she looked up from her notebook she saw that everyone was slowly starting to arrive but she was only looking for one person in particular. When she finally saw him she lit up with biggest smile that she only reserved for Jake and he reciprocated with his own smile. She loved his smile she thought it was so cute and she wished he would smile more but she was always glad that he smiled when he saw her.

When he got close enough she got out of her chair and wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him in for a long awaited embrace. He quickly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. She loved when he did this because she could feel his warmth and his muscles from under his shirt. He was so strong and she found that extremely attractive. She leaned her head back and she gave him a quick but sweet kiss. If there weren't so many people the kiss would have lasted much longer but neither one of them were big on PDA.

"I missed you."

"Missed you too Marls. How was your day?"

"It was good nothing special really happened. How about you?"

"Well I got a B on my Biology test but I also got in trouble in Algebra because I didn't do my homework so it's been an okay day, for a school day." He hoped she would focus on the good part because she had helped him study for that test and he wanted to impress her.

"Jake I'm so proud of you. You worked really hard for that B. I guess we are going to have study together more."

"I wouldn't mind spending more time with you but to be honest it's going to be hard to just study the whole time."

"Mr. Puckerman, I take studying very seriously and there will be no fooling around during that time."

"Oh really you think you can resist this." He gave his best seductive face and she couldn't help but laugh. She was about to say something witty back when Mr. Schue and Coach Beiste came walking in.

"This is not over and don't think I didn't hear the part about you not doing your homework we will discuss this later at my place." She tried to make a stern face but failed and just ended up smiling.

"I will be there." And with that he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and sat down.

She loved their banter together it always made her smile and laugh and they never took it seriously. That was another thing that she loved about him was that he could always make her laugh. She wished she was sitting next to him but because he got there last all the seats were filled so he sat in front of her a seat over. She wasn't going to worry about it though because they would probably being singing together soon and that was one of her favorite things to do with Jake. She watched as came up and she was excited to see what their next assignment was going to be.

"Alright let's get started."

BANG! Scream! BANG!
