Chapter 1

Puck walked into English as usual, heading to his seat in the back row. He sat down and noticed someone new in the seat next to him. Nobody sits next to him. He looked at the boy and noticed he didn't quite if in here. He had on a pair of dark blue stone washed and ripped jeans with a black hoodie, he also had a black beanie on his head and a pair of city work white converse on his feet.

"Sup?" Puck made the first move of starting up a conversation. The new guy just looked at him and nodded is head once. "I'm Puck." He continued.

"Ryan." The boy said. That was all the conversation that Puck managed to get out of him. He noticed that Ryan whilst was getting the work done, was always fidgeting or tapping his leg. He also had a spin top that he moved in-between his fingers or spun on the table. Puck found this annoying but didn't comment.

As soon as the bell went Ryan was straight out of the room. Puck had a free period next so he wasn't in a rush to get anywhere. Him, Finn, and Sam where just going to work out in the gym for a while.

"Dude we need to find away to shut Berry up in Glee, I swear Santana and Quinn or so close to ending her." Puck said to Finn whilst they where lifting weights. Just as Finn was about to respond Sam walked in with an impressed look on his face.

"S'with the face Ken?" Puck wondered.

"Well you heard about the new guy right? Well I just went past the punching bag, and the dude is pounding it. Like seriously, he's in the zone." Sam said. Finn and Puck got up and followed Sam to the punching bag and watched Ryan for a little while.

"Ya know if you beat the bag anymore we're gonna need to have a funeral for it." Puck shouted in order to get his attention. They boy paid no attention and Puck noticed that he had his head phones in. Finn walked up to him and put his hand on his shoulder. Ryan turned around quickly and pushed his hand on his shoulder and stood face to face with Finn with a frown on his face.

"…Ryan? Calm down man." Puck said from behind Finn.

"I don't like being touched. Please don't." Was what Ryan said in reply.

"Fair enough, sorry man." Finn apologised. "You were really awesome on the bag, I'm guessing you box?" Finn asked, his goofy smile back in full force.

"Yeah, since I was 9." Ryan said in return. He turned back to the punching bag, leaving the guys standing their. They decided to leave him too, taking the hint that he didn't want to talk.

The next hour…

Ryan was sitting in Spanish class, he had his spin top in his hand and was tapping his leg. He really found lessons like this difficult, if he didn't like them he found It extra hard to pay attention. The rest of the class was piling in and Ryan was enjoying watching everyone. Two cheerleaders walked in talking and sat on the seats next to him. He didn't have time to get a good look at him since the teacher came in.

They'd all been set a task sheet and Ryan was really trying to pay attention whilst the class was going through it. He looked at the sheet and nothing made any sense to him. He was spinning the spin top on the top of the table, unaware of a blonde cheerio watching him, when the teacher came up to him and knelt at the side of the desk.

"Ryan right?" Mr Shue asked. Just to receive a nod. "Do you understand what your meant to be doing?" Tyler shook his head. "Did you listen?" Tyler just shrugged.

"I tried to." Mr Shue was shocked that he came out and basically said he didn't listen.

"I have ADHD, I tried my best. And I'm seriously screwed since I have dyslexia too. I need you to help me." He just muttered. Mr Shue checked his watch and seen there wasn't long enough to talk now.

"Ryan, I'd ask you to stay behind and talk to me but I'm sure you have a class next. But I run a Glee club after school, you can come and see me then if you'd like?" Mr Shue offered.

"Do I need to join?"

"Not if you don't want to." Mr Shue received a nod from Ryan and assumed that was all he was getting. Ryan continued spinning the spin top, enjoying keeping to himself.

"What's that?" He heard a voice ask him. He turned round and was met with the face of a blonde cheerleader that came in. She's pretty Ryan thought.

"It's my spin top. I use it to keep attention." He told her.

"…Can I have a go?" She asked. Ryan was not sure if he wanted to let her but decided that he may as well try and make some friends. He handed her the spin top and she let out a big grin at it.

"Thanks." She whispered while she spins it on the table. She spent the next 5 minutes spinning it until she handed it back to Ryan.

"That was fun. I'm Brittany by the way." She said while sticking her hand out. Ryan looked at her hand, not used to having to make contact.

"I'm Ryan." He replied and decided just to take the plunge. He was glad he did because her hand felt so soft.

"I'll see you around Ryan." Brittany said goodbye with a wave.

Thoughts? It's pretty different from my other story, but I'm hopeful that it will all work out!
