Chapter 1: The New Kid

The night was just getting started and Haley was already too drunk to see straight because of how she was drowning her sorrows.

"Stupid Rory, stupid Adam, stupid glee club; this is all their fault." Haley cursed. She had finished her last bottle of beer. And to think all this started when she had moved to the small shit hole town of Lima, Ohio.

It was four and a half months before when Haley first set foot in McKinley Senior High School. Her long wavy dark brown hair was down around her shoulders, shielding her from the students who had most likely all grew up together. She was nervous, more nervous than she had been every other time she had to switch schools. She found locker 4057 and opened it and soon it was filled with her books.

"Hello, nice to meet you." said a guys voice that clearly wasn't from the United States.

She closed her locker to see a dark haired boy with ice blue eyes who was about her height (5'8").

"hi?" she said utterly confused as to why he was there.

He just stood there smiling at her. She tried to walk around him but he kept blocking her path.

"Is there something you want or are you just standing in my way for the fun of it?" she asked.

"Oh, well i wanted to get to know you because you see i have the locker above you. Would you be my friend?" he finally asked.

"Yeah, sure, whatever, I just need to get to class." she said adjusting her backpack.

"I can help you with that. Can i see your schedule?" he asked,"I'm Rory by the way" He took her schedule as she handed it to him.

"I'm Haley, I just moved here from Nashua New Hampshire." she said.

"Your first period is the same as mine. Just follow me!" he walked off with her trying to keep up behind.

He walked fast as if trying to avoid something. Then all of a sudden Rory and Haley were covered in green corn syrup and ice. he pulled her through a door which she couldn't see due to the burning affect the slushy was having on her eyes.

"I'm so, so sorry Haley. bend over over here." She did as she was told. She bent over the sink and helped try to get the drink off of them. She was completely humiliated. It was her first day why was she already being targeted by bullies? she shook the feeling off. she tried remind herself not to be the victim. She couldn't help it she sunk down on to the ground and cried. Rory couldn't bear to see her cry so he got down and put his arms around her and then she heard him.

"If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see,
I'll be the light to guide you" his voice was soft and sweet. he sang slower than the song normally was. She began to relax into his arms.

"Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need" He couldn't help but think how beautiful she was and how she shouldn't have to cry over the shit he always had happen to him.

"You can count on me like 1 2 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah" the hurt of the new and old wounds in her heart started to slowly feel better as she began to sing along.

"Wooooh, Wooooh
yeah Yeah" he almost stopped his singing in shock of the beautiful voice coming from Haley.

"You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go
Never say goodbye" she never thought about how good it would feel to sing again. She felt like she was on top of the world.

You can count on me like 1 2 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2
You'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Wooooh, Wooooh
you can count on me cos' I can count on you" Haley hugged him as they ended the song.

"Thank you" she whispered as she walked out the door.

Rory was sure of it, he had it bad for the new kid.
