Tina walked slowly through the halls of McKinley high. She impatiently checked her phone for the tenth time that day, the hundredth time that weekend. She sighed as she saw no messages or missed calls from Artie.
Ever since he had spurned her because of her fake stutter she had desperate hopes that he would forgive her. It had been several weeks and still, he barely looked at her anymore. She entered the choir room and stopped dead in her tracks: there was Artie with some girl she didn't know right on his lap. They were giggling and joking with one another, unaware of Tina's presence. Suddenly she felt an uncomfortable tingle to her heart. It hurt.
She walked quietly back out trying to seem as unaffected as possible and ran into the girls bathroom. Looking into the mirror, she stared at her reflection. What am I doing? She thought to herself. Wiping away her tears she stood straight reciting that little thought in her head. I'm not going to cry for that guy. He's nothing to me now.
Walking out with a little more confidence, she knew just what she was going to do.
The whole group was in the music room when Mr. Shu arrived. "Well guys, I hope you all had a very good weekend but now its homework time. Who would like to go first?"
Everyone slinked back in their seats expecting Rachel to take the lead, but before she could jump in first, Tina shot her hand up. "I'll start Mr. Shu."
Mr. Shu smiled and nodded approvingly. Determined, Tina stood facing everyone with her hands on her hips. "This song represents exactly how I feel." She nodded to the band as they started to play.
"Here's the thing, we started out friends, it was cool but it was all pretend. Yeah yeah, since you been gone," she began strongly.
"You dedicated, you took the time.
Wasn't long till' I called you mine,
Yeah yeah,
Since you been gone.
And all you'd ever hear me say,
Is how I pictured me with you,
That's all you'd ever hear me say .."
With a hint of determinationin her eyes, she continued to sing the chorus with all her emotions intact.
"But since you been gone,
I can breathe for the first time,
I'm so moving on.
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you,
Now I get
What I want.
Since you been gone
How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song.
Yeah, yeah
Since you been gone.
How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you?
I guess you never felt that way."
Looking straight into Artie's eluding eyes, she sang with even more passion.
"But since you been gone,
I can breathe for the first time,
I'm so moving on.
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you,
Now I get(I get)
What I want.
Since you been gone!"
The rest of the Glee members joined in singing the background.
"You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again!"
Tina circled around the band, singing freely with the lead guitarist. She averted back her attention to her main focus for the last few verses.
"But since you been gone,
I can breathe for the first time,
I'm so moving on.
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you),
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know),
That I get, I get what I want .."
Finally winding down, she sat back in her chair and sang the rest of the lines in a more quiet tone though still grasping the same emotional depth.
"Since you been gone..
Since you been gone..
Since you been gone."
With a tired breath she finished, everyone stood and applauded, except Artie who slowly but apathetically applauded. No one had seemed to notice that during the whole duration of the song Artie's face remained down only stealing glances at her and that another male was watching her more intently then was necessary.
"Great job Tina. I could really experience the feelings you had singing that song. Now who's next?"
After Glee club was finished Tina walked to her gaudy car, feeling happy and accomplished. She was finally over Artie.
"Hey Tina," came a deep voice from behind her.
She spun in shock. "Oh hi Mike. Y-y-you surprised me," she stammered.
He smiled gently. "Sorry, didn't mean to. I just wanted to say that you did a really good job," he began. "It was for Artie, wasn't it?" She gave a shocked expression.
He smiled at her stunned face. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I was just wondering why. I thought you and him were together .." He tried to hide his hopeful smile. Please say no, he thought.
She smiled "W-we were almost, but something came inb-b-between us and made him leave." His face was now filled with concern. "But now I'm g-good and happy without him." Mike smiled at her answer trying not to jump up and down with joy.
Tina smiled at his response a bit confused. "That's great Tina. Well, not that he left you but that you're not hung up on him anymore. Not that you .. It was just that - Uh ... I forgot what I was saying."
She laughed at his rambling. "I think it was on the lines of giving m-me a high five and saying we-we-well done." He laughed as well and did accordingly.
"Well I err... have to go. I'll see you tomorrow ok?" He grinned brighter and walked away looking back as he got inside his car and waved goodbye.
Tina waved in response and watched him leaving, wondering what had just happened right then. The whole way home, she smiled to herself remembering Mike's nervous babbling.
Maybe, she thought. Maybe Mike would be better for me. Chuckling at the silly idea, she went inside of her house looking forward for the next day.
here you go guys let me know what you think please sorry if it sucks it is just an introductory chapter
