"David for the last time; they weren't making fun of you! If they were don't you think they would have made you prom queen? No, they wanted to make fun of the twink and you were just collateral."
"But what if they find out Ryanna? I'll be kicked off the football and hockey team. A slushie to the face is the least of my worries. I'll be pulverized!"
"Man you can only stay in the closet for so long. It's gonna come out one day. Ha, come out. I made a pun." Karofsky rolled his eyes at the girl sprawled across his bed wearing one of his baggy McKinley t-shirts and shrunken sweatpants. She obviously wasn't wearing a bra underneath which he tried not to look at or think about lest he gag.
"Anyway it's your last year and then you'll never see any of these losers again. You're comin' with me to California right? I hear San Fran's like gay nation."
"I have to see if I got into USC or UCLA first."
"So just go back to McKinley instead of being such a pussy. I'll be going this year be your knight in gothic armor." David swiveled around in his chair to face her.
"Isn't it a little hypocritical of you to say I can't go to West Lima when you're running from your fancy girl school? The girl stiffened, shutting hazel eyes tightly. David felt the tension radiating off her and just knew he said the wrong thing. He didn't know much about her junior year at St. Agatha's Academy for Young Women but he knew it wasn't sunshine and roses. After squirming a little with overwhelming guilt, he touched her arm making her jump in fright.
"Fine, I'll go back but only because you'll be there. Someone has to make sure you don't get into too much mischief." She smirked at him.
"Good. So I know that the Lopez chick was your beard until she went all lesbian on you. Need another?" He grimaced.
"Gross Ry! You're my cousin!"
"By marriage Davey. Cousins by marriage. Besides we don't have to confirm anything, just do enough to make people assume. It's high school! It'll get around fast enough." With a heaving sigh, he turned back to his computer game.
"Ugh the things you get me to do. I hate you sometimes." The blonde let out a raspy laugh.
"Love you too Davey."
The first bell of the first day of school rang and the bulky footballer walked in with his arm around the shoulders of an unknown (to the school) girl in some very strange (again to them) get up. Her pale face was done up with black eyeliner and eyeshadow, red lipstick on her lips. Her wavy blonde hair had stripes of blood red and black throughout it and both ears had quite a few piercings. What really made people look twice was her clothing. This mystery girl wore a tight Nine Inch Nails t shirt that had a cut out V showing off just a tiny bit of cleavage. Her red and black skirt revealed a tattoo on the side of her upper thigh of a dagger wrapped in vines. Black high tops and a beat up leather jacket accessorizing her outfit.
People stared as they strode down the hall to the principal's office. Girls were hitting their boyfriends when they caught them trying to look up her skirt. Ry knew people were gawking and whispering, wondering who she was. This was good. This meant prom rumors would be close to nil. When she reached what she presumed to be the main office, the goth turned to her cousin slash fake beau and gave him a coy smile.
"Thank you Dave. I'm gonna head in for the meet n' greet. I'll see you later." she said loud enough for the eavesdroppers to catch and gave him a kiss on the corner of mouth like she used to when they were little tykes. He smiled warmly at her.
"Text me if you need a tour guide or anyone gives you shit k?" She nodded and headed into the office. So far, so good.
A few halls down, Kurt Hummel and Rachel Berry were being interviewed by the annoying Jacob Ben Israel when a nerdy looking kid came running up to them. After taking a couple of puffs of his inhaler he tells the afro-geek that a 'very hot girl' came into school with Karofsky. Kurt raises his eyebrows in surprise as Jacob scampers after the nerd in search for the mystery new girl. Rachel sighs.
"Well at least he won't be filming about the Glee club for awhile." Kurt shrugs.
"Maybe he'll start stalking her and leave you alone."
"Until Karofsky puts him into a dumpster for being creepy on his girlfriend."
"We don't know if their dating. He could just be showing her around." Both having class together, they headed there listening to the gossip around them.
"I hear she's from a cult trying to seduce Karofsky into joining." "-total goth. Even more than that asian chick." "a stripper." "Got out of jail because she had Russian Mafia connections." Some were more outrageous than others but until they saw her with their own eyes, they'd just put it to the normal rumor mill drama.
Ry had a red folder in her hand that held a collection of papers such as her timetable, a weird map of the school, and a few brochures that a red haired councelor had given her. 'so your the new kid in school' and after a cursory look of Ry's appearance an 'Am I asking for help when I act like this' one that had a cartoon of a gothic boy and girl on the cover. Personally, she thought Miss Pillsbury needed counseling if not that then some strong anti-anxiety meds.
Ry was just about to get her phone out and text David when a girl with badly dyed pink hair, a fake nose ring, (and is that a tattoo of Ryan Seacrest?) came stomping down the hall with a moody look on her face. After laughing quietly to herself in amusement, she stepped in the girl's path.
"Hey I'm new here and I was wondering if you knew-" The girl sighed dramatically.
"I've got somewhere to be. Ask somebody else to play follow the leader." Ry arched an eyebrow.
"Excuse me? That's rude you could be nicer about it y'know. What got your panties in a bunch? Daddy not let you use your credit card?" Pink hair tried to push her aside but Ry pushed her back a little harder than necessary as the girl's back hit the lockers behind her. Pink hair practically growled at Ry as she went right for her hair and Ry retaliated by taking her by the elbows.
They tumbled to the ground. Ry felt one of her colored extensions rip from her head and she just flipped. Spectators in the hallway grew. Boys hooted and girls made calls neither knew who was for, "Get the skank!" "Take the bitch out!"
Kurt and Rachel rounded the corner at the sound of the commotion. Thinking it was Santana having another one of her bitch fits, they went to overlook as well only to realize that one of the girls looked a lot like Quinn and Santana was nowhere in sight. They shouted for Quinn to stop but the noises were too loud. Kurt winced when he noticed Quinn's nose bleeding.
"Hey!" came a very familiar shout and people turned to see an angry looking Karofsky jogging towards the girls. Puck, who was not too far away, followed him. The strange girl climbed on top of Quinn flashing her skimpy red panties to the audience, causing more wolf whistles and a growl from David. He picked the struggling girl up easily and trapped her body against his.
"Let me go David! The cunt took out my extensions!" Looking around at the crowd, he barked at them to get lost and they scattered. Puck helped up a reluctant looking Quinn.
"Take a deep breath. Come on, calm down Ry." Kurt, Rachel, Puck, and Quinn watched as the girl squeezed her eyes shut and took a deep breath. Faintly they heard Karofsky counting. By the tenth mark she was limp in his arms. At twenty the girl opened her eyes and stepped out of his embrace. David knelt to pick up the red stripe of hair on the floor.
"Really Ry? Fighting on the first day of school? You're lucky no teachers saw it." Ry pouted sullenly, crossing her arms.
"She started it. I was just asking for directions to class and she was rude." The burly boy shook his head in exasperation. He turned to a grumpy Quinn.
"You ok?" she nodded and David looked back to the other girl.
"Apologize to Quinn, Ry." Still pouting, she turned to the pink haired girl.
"I'm sorry I made your nose bleed."
"And?" David drew out. Ry glowered at him.
"And pushing you into the lockers… and for calling you a cunt." Puck tried to smother his snicker but it didn't work as Quinn shot him an irritated look before nodded to her.
"I'm sorry for pulling out your hair." The goth girl muttered something that only Karofsky could hear as he made a face at her.
"I'll take you both to the nurse's office. C'mon." He led the hurt girls down the hall. When they were no longer in sight Rachel spoke.
"What was that?"
"Yeah Karofsky was like… nice." Puck stated obviously in as much shock as they were. Before they could speculate anymore, the warning bell rang making Kurt and Rachel both 'eep' and quickly hustle to their classes, not wanting a detention on the first day of school. Puck, not caring, strolled through the halls flirting with any (hot) girl he saw.
Dave and Ry entered the cafeteria at lunchtime, ignoring the stares and whispers that are about them (well mostly her but she wouldn't tell Davey that). They grab their meals and the jock directs them to the football/chearleader table. David and the boys start talking about sports stuff that Ry cared little about and the cheerios closed themselves off to her making a point to snicker and throw looks at her to make sure she knew that they were talking about her. She rolled her eyes.
Bored, she looks around the room where there are obvious cliques like the nerds and the preps and the kids that look like they've had way too much pot. There was one group that had jocks, and preps, and geeky looking kids all talking and laughing together. Even the flamboyant gay dude who Dave had a not so hidden crush on in her opinion was with them texting on his phone. A girl with a slightly big nose and shrill voice kept pointing at something behind her that the rest of the group wouldn't look at. Curious, she follows the girl's finger until she spots a small violet purple piano. Smiling slyly to herself she pokes David's arm.
"David" he doesn't even acknowledge her as he keeps on talking to a big curly haired boy across from him. Scowling she pokes him harder.
"David? Davey!" he blushes as the footballers tease him. He finally looks her way. She smiles and points. "Doesn't that piano remind you of the one Dad got me for Christmas in second grade?" He followed her finger and guffawed.
"You mean the one you threw a fit over so your mom let us paint it until there wasn't any purple left?" She nodded excitedly.
"Remember when I used to make you sing with me to our parents?" David put his head in his hands as his face grew even redder.
"Yeah."
"I want to sing right now."
"What? No sweetheart. Save that for the Glee club losers."
"But Davey I want to sing." She whined giving him sad puppy eyes.
"Yeah Davey she wants to sing wid you." Azimio teased causing the other jocks to snicker.
"No Ry. End of discussion."
"What if I give you something in return?" the jocks oohed.
"Like what?" The goth playfully bit her bottom lip and whispered into his ear.
"I'll get those fake IDs for us. Now think of the boys swim team in their trunks." He tried to gasp quietly but Azimio still heard and made a wolf whistle, mistakingly thinking lewd comments were being made. Ry stood and put a hand on her hip. "Now will you sing with me?" He groaned. "Fine." She grinned before tugging him over to the piano. She looked around and her eyes came upon the guy she saw earlier with that pink haired girl,Quinn, enter.
"Hey Mohawk! Give me your guitar." Puck looked up at her with raised eyebrows.
"Fuck no."
"Come on I just want to use it a little. I'll be real careful and give it back like a good girl." He looked at her warily as she smiled sweetly. He shrugged.
"Well you're hot so I guess I can let you this once." He handed it over to her carefully and she winked.
"Thanks." making her way back to the piano she started playing the intro to a song that made David burst out laughing as he followed her lead.
R: Friday night beneath the stars,
in a field behind your yard,
you and I are painting pictures in the sky
Her voice was raspy in a sexy way that made boys (and even some girls) shiver.
D: And sometimes we don't say a thing;
just listen to the crickets sing
Everything I need is right here by my side.
Expecting the big former bully to be quite bad, people were shocked to hear a deep smooth croon. Someone started drumming and David nodded to a band kid to take over the piano as another kid camp up to take Puck's guitar from her.
R: And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you!
Dave took both her hands playfully waltzing.
R: I'm only up if your not down
Dont wanna fly when your still on the ground
Its like no matter what I dooo
D: Well you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying to let you know
that what I feel is truuue
She broke away to playfully run around the piano.
D/R: And I'm only me when I'm with you!
He chased her around.
D: Just a small town boy and girl
livin' in a crazy world
Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true
She spun around facing him.
R: And I don't try to hide my tears
the secrets or my deepest fears
Through it all nobody gets me like you dooo
D: And you know everything about me
She strike a pose, a hand in the air.
R: And you say you can't live without me
He picks her up twirling her in the air.
D: I'm only up if your not down
Dont wanna fly if your still on the ground
its like no matter what I dooo
She jumps out of his arms.
R: Well you drive me crazy half the time
the other half I'm only trying to let you know
that what I feel is true
Ry jumped from his arms and put her arms out like an airplane, being childish. It reminded Dave so much of when they used to play at her parents lake house.
D/R: And I'm only me when I'm with you!
D: When I'm with anybody else its hard to find myself
only you can tell
She puts her hands out to play the clapping games kids used to play.
D/R: I'm only up if your not down
Dont wanna fly if your still on the ground
its like no matter what I dooo
Well you drive me crazy half the time
the other half I'm only tryin' to let you know
that what I feel is truuue
I'm only meee when I'm with you!
At the last notes Ry teasingly points to him.
R: With you!
He grins, pointing back at her as the music starts to fade.
D: With youu.
As they finished, David Karofsky tickled his cousin/fake girlfriend making her laugh. He was so glad that he had her here with him now. The cafeteria was left stunned well except for the band kids who helped them out. The dude with Puck's guitar made his way over to the jaw dropped owner to give it back.
A moment later, applause roared up from the football table as they stood followed by other tables and even the kitchen staff clapped. The New Directioners, still stunned, clapped along with a very excited looking Rachel Berry. She just had to get them to join Glee Club.
Slightly embarrassed that he got so caught up in singing with Ryanna that he completely forgot that he was singing with an audience, tugged the happily bowing goth girl. He pulled her onto his lap when they reached the table and she hugged him, so proud of Davey. People began to settle down and the footballers slapped him on the back.
"Dude! I didn't know you could sing."
"There's a lot of things you don't know." Ry snipped at Azimio.
"Ryanna Slane." Karofsky admonished, tapping her little nose. She tapped his right back.
"David Karofsky. See? I know you're name too." The guys and some of the girls laughed.
"I like her dude. She's got spunk." Strando said.
"Damn straight." She held out her fist to the curly haired boy, grinning he bumped his with hers much to Dave's amusement. A throat clearing at the head of the table made everyone turn to see Rachel and behind her was their quarterback.
"Hello I'm Rachel Berry and this is Finn Hudson. We're the captains of the Glee club here. We came to commend you and David on your stunning performance. Ry smirked, laying back against said boy's chest.
"Name's Ry but you call me Slane."
"Is that like your cult name or something?" Finn asked looking genuinely curious
"Dude! It's her last name." Karofsky gave the manchild an 'are you stupid' look and Finn had the smarts to look embarrassed and apologized.
"Anyway! We were wondering if you both would like to join New Directions." The whole table laughed in her face.
"Do I look like the kind of girl who belongs in a school choir?" It was a rhetorical question but the girl answered anyways.
"We have all different kinds of members in our club. Finn is the school's quarterback. Brittany and Santana are both cheerios. We have kids from the Celibacy Club, the God Squad, the school newspaper, the school council, the Brainiacs-" Ry put up her hand.
"I get it. The answer though is 'no'. Davey has football and hockey and I have a band to maintain.
"You got your own band?" one of the cheerleaders piped up, trying not to look too interested.
"Yeah. A bunch of girls from my old school and I formed a band when we found we had similar interests and yes, I mean gothic interests." Ry said giving Finn a knowing look.
"What are you called?"
"Lipstick Rebellion."
"Sounds hot." A random jock pipes up. She winks.
"We definitely are." She makes a considering look before turning back to the pair. "I'll invite my girls tomorrow. We'll have a sing-off; your choir against my band. The one with the best response wins. If you win Davey and I will join your little club-"
"What!" She puts her hand over his mouth smirking evilly.
"But if I win then you guys have to come in gothic the next day. And I mean the whole caboodle." She points at her body. "Not just wearing any ol' black clothing you can find. Can you do that Miss Goody Goody?" The boys oohed again and the jewish girl looked a bit hesitant (more like intimidated) but she stuck her hand out to her. Ry was so pleased her eyes flashed causing a shiver down Rachel and Finn's spine. She wrapped her pale hand around the tanner one.
"After school tomorrow in the Auditorium." The two girls let go and the whole table watched as the gleeks headed for their table already furiously talking. Ry took out her phone.
"Hey Lysi, feel like ditching afternoon classes tomorrow? We're gonna rock some loser brains out." She listened to the girl on the other line before making a kissy noise and hanging up.
"C'mon Davey I want some private time." She took his hand and led him out the door to the sounds the footballers were making.
Author'sNote: I hope you enjoyed it so far. Next chapter will be the sing-off. I'm going to try and stay as similar to season three as possible but seeing at this is an AU it obviously can't be all the same. Please Review! I'm insecure.
Warnings: I do not like Klaine. I just don't like how Blaine treats Kurt. I'm a big Kurtofsky fan BUT I'm not sure yet if this will be one. Mainly this is just Ry's story.
