Finding Myself- Chapter 2 (Part 1)
A/N Sorry I didn't get this to you sooner
XXX
For the first week of school, I was loaded with homework. I had to walk through the halls with my head down, ignoring the looks from Lily and her "posse" when they over dramatically strutted the halls. So far, Lily hasn't acknowledged my exsistance. Other than her rude remarks, she hasn't gotten the nerve to speak to me. I'm still wondering how we went from being "sisters" to me being her target for her harassment. High school isn't very fun when you are a loner and Lilliana Sami Criss is to blame for my misfortune. What I'm still trying to figure out is how someone so evil is the niece of Darren. High school sucks because of her.
Whenever I got the chance, I was doing my homework on the stage. During lunch, break, and sometimes before school. I was the only place were I was carefree. The janitor caught me once after school. He told me as long as I didn't make a mess, I could stay. It was my enchanted place. On some days after I finished my homework, I would take center stage and do some sort of monologue or scene off the top of my head. I missed performing more than anything. I found out that the only drama teacher moved away over the summer and the school hasn't found a replacement. So, besides a couple of middle school recitals, the theatre was unused. Which is sad because it is so magical here.
People ignored me at school. They didn't know I was (gasp) Lea Michele's sister. I went to a small high school on the outside of LA. Many people were actors and singers, sure. But the thing that made me different was popularity. I didn't want it. I think it's stupid that you are judged on how much money you have, how dress, or (in my case) who you're related to. I'm one of the few people in the world who just doesn't give a crap. To "them" that's horrible. So, I decided to keep being Lea's sister quiet. I wanted to see how people treated me. And I was thankful that Lily didn't say anything. I mean, why would she? That would make me a lot more popular. The reason why she's Queen Bee is because she tells the whole WORLD she's related to Darren and that she's Chuck Criss's daughter. All the girls practically bow down to her. I'm surprised Lily doesn't even notice that they're using her. But whatever, that's fine to me that she has a bunch of fake friends.

Because of the way she was treating me, I was extremely surprised when Lily came over to my house.
After I talked to Darren on the phone, making plans to baby sit Lea and his daughter next weekend while he flies out to New York to see Lea and Chris's opening night, I decided I had time to make cookies. I had just pulled out everything but the flour when I heard a faint knock at the door. I cautiously paused at the cabinet while my mom's voice rang in my ears. "Maddie I'll be back in about an hour, don't answer the door for anyone and keep the house locked ok? Love you, bye!"
I looked back from the pantry and the door holding my breath and waiting for the person at the door to leave. It's probably some girl scout trying to sell cookies. Or some guy from some church coming to try and convert our family. Just wait and they'll go away eventually. After a couple minutes went by the person knocked again, harder this time. I pleaded in my head for them to leave when a voice stopped my thoughts.
"Maddie? I know you're in there. C'mon, it's me. Open the door it's freezing out here."
My eyes widened and I made sure I heard the voice at the door and it wasn't my imagination. I pinched myself and yelped when I felt the pain. Ok this isn't a dream…. But Lily? What the hell would she want?
"Maddie? Please let me in." she tried again while knocking once more. "Open the door."
I walked slowly from the kitchen and crept down the hall carefully until I reached the door. I grabbed the knob and looked through the stain glass window on the door to see a dark figure on the porch.
"L-Lily?" I stuttered, not realizing my voice was quivering because I was nervous.
"Yes Maddie, it's me. Please open the door."
I slowly turned the brass knob and pulled the heavy wooden door open to reveal my ex-best friend standing on my porch.

A/N I had plans to make this longer but I have to go somewhere right now. When I get back I promise I'll write more. Anyways sorry I disappeared there for awhile but I'm back! I made a poll on my profile saying "Should I continue writing FanFiction?" so if you can please go on my profile and vote.
Lea and Darren are married and they have a daughter because me and my best friend Micaela ship Learren like nobody's business. If you can find the Darren related reference you get a prize! (And it's not his brother or the mention of his name)
I'll write more ASAP! PLEASE REVIEW
