A/N: Hey, i'm back! I'm still working on some other Ryley stories, but i'm having issues with writers block on some of them. This idea came to me when I read the upcoming spoilers for the season finale which involve how Ryder finds out who's catfishing him. This is what I wish would happen, because it results in a Ryley endgame (OF COURSE!), but it probably won't. So, I just had to write it down. This will be more chapters, but tonight i'm posting the first two, just because I can. I'll try to update as often as possible and maybe post some other stuff in the future to get through the summer hiatus. By the way, I'm sorry all my fanfics center around Ryley and I tend to villianize Jake a little too much. I really do think Jake is an okay guy, but I don't know. He's not the loveable bad boy like Puck is! I already know who is the catfish. Or is there more than one? ;) ;) But if you guys have any guesses on who it is, i'd love to see it in the reviews :)Anyways, I hope you enjoy this and I would appreciate any reviews so I keep motivated to please the loyal fans! If this chapter seems short, it's because the first couple are setting up the plot and it's going to be told in different characters' POVs (Mainly Ryder and Marley). Love you all, and I own nothing related to glee. I still want to punch someone for all the Jarley and Ritty (or is it Kyder?) gooey crap that went on the last episode : I will NEVER give up on Ryley, I ship this couple like nobody's business. I'm so emotionally invested in it, I don't have time to worry about my own love life. It's sad, really. Anyways, on to the story :)

Marley's POV

"Hey Kitty!" Marley greeted cheerfully to her friend at their lockers after Glee practice.

"What?" Kitty replied snarkily. Marley was shocked by the sudden behavior. Sure, she'd always been a bitch to Marley until recently, but Marley was surprised by the new sudden shift in attitude.

"I just wanted to see how you're doing." Marley replied meekly.

"Really? Just because we had a moment when we thought we were going to die and we acted like friends for a week, it doesn't change anything. You're still a conniving, boyfriend-stealing whore. And it seems I'm the only one who can see past that little nice girl façade, so let's not pretend anymore, okay?" Kitty answered before sauntering away.

Marley was taken aback by this. What was her deal? Then, she felt the arms of her boyfriend Jake Puckerman wrap around her waist. Usually Marley liked this, but it was starting to feel more forced. Like the littlest gestures between them required more effort. As far as they were concerned, they were still supposedly in the blissful, beginning relationship phase, but something was making her wonder if they'd ever make it past that stage.

"What was that about?" Jake asked, looking surprised.

"I don't know." Marley answered truthfully. "You still talk to her more than I do, do you have any idea what wrong?" Marley asked Jake as they walked down the hallway.

"Not a clue. Maybe Coach Roz finally put her in her place or something." Jake shrugged. "Now, let's go to class. By he way, my mom invited you to family dinner tonight with Puck and his mom." Jake said as he steered Marley down the hallway.

"Sounds good." she answered as they went to their separate classes.

As Marley walked to math class, she walked passed Ryder, who seemed pretty preoccupied with his cell phone. She waved and he waved back half-heartedly. She felt so bad for him and really wanted to find out who Katie was. Despite all the drama that's been going down, they had history and she really cared about him, even if she didn't show it. He was her first kiss and that was a connection they'd have that she'd never have with Jake.

She walked into math class, where she sat next to Blaine and Sam, who both eagerly waved at her.

"Hey Blaine." she said cheerfully. "Sam." she said stiffly as she was still irritated at how insensitive he acted towards Ryder earlier that week.

"Marley, I know you're still pissed at me for how we were when Ryder revealed his huge secret, and I'm sorry." Sam said when he picked up on Marley's attitude.

"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to." she snapped at him.

"You just got served." Blaine snickered.

"You're right Marley, which is why Artie and I are going to talk to him today and offer to help him find out who Katie really is." Sam replied.

"Fine. And I'll help you too." Marley offered, accepting Sam's truce.

"I'll also help." Blaine offered absentmindedly.

"Yes! Glee goes Argo!" Sam exclaimed.

Marley glanced over at Blaine's cell phone on his desk and noticed he was looking at engagement and wedding rings on Pinterest. Then, he picked up his phone and showed Marley a pin he particularly liked.

"Hey Marley, what do you think about this engagement ring?" he asked her thoughtfully. "Do you think Kurt would like it?"

"It's a beautiful ring, but don't you want something more personal? I mean, this was pinned like six months ago, so a ton of other people might have it." Marley reasoned. "Why are you looking at engagement rings for Kurt?" Marley asked curiously.

"Yeah, aren't you guys like, broken up?" Sam snickered as Marley kicked him under the desks.

"Don't you have a filter from your brain to your mouth?" she asked him irritably.

"No. I like being just as surprised as everyone else by the words that come out of my mouth." he said simply.

"Shut up Sam." Marley and Blaine said in unison as Ms. Holliday started class.
