Chapter Two:
"Hey babe, check this out!" Colton Reynolds found himself walking towards the bulletin board and bringing his girlfriend with him. Bailey shot him a confused look and furrowed her brows at the sight.
She twirled a lock of her red hair with her other hand. "What are we checking out?" she asked, her gray eyes searching the board.
The male couldn't believe Bailey didn't see it. "The glee club is having auditions!" Colton announced, throwing his arm around Bailey, "I think we should join."
"What?" Bailey seemed even more confused, "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Her already fair skin seemed even paler, as if the idea frightened her.
"I mean, what could it hurt? You know I love to belt out a rock ballad and play guitar," Colton explained, "Plus you would be my perfect duet partner." He looked down at Bailey and grinning, pulling her closer to him.
Bailey's cheek flushed a light pink, which made her look more ravishing in Colton's eyes. She nervously tucked her hair behind her ears before looking back up at him. Their eyes met, and slowly a smile formed on her face. "I guess it couldn't hurt." She agreed quietly, pulling a pen from her bag. "Will you do the honors?"
Colton's grin grew as he took the pen, "Gladly." He whispered in Bailey's ear as he scribbled down their names in a small scrawl underneath the five that already signed up. He eyed the list. So far three girls and two guys signed up before Bailey and himself. Glee club did seem like more of a girl thing, but he hoped that there would be an equal number of boys and girls.
"There we go." Colton added as he stepped back and put his arm back around Bailey's shoulders, planting a quick kiss on the girl's temple. He was so ecstatic that they were going to audition for glee club together. Plus, Colton believed that they would both make the club. "This year is going to be amazing." He said to Bailey.
Despite the fact Bailey looked up and smiled again, putting her head on his shoulder, Colton thought she seemed a little distracted. "It'll sure be interesting." She had replied when they made their way down the hallway.
Bailey Williams wasn't sure what to think about being signed up for glee club. Colton was going on about what kind of duets they could sing for their audition, because students could audition with duets. As much as she tried to, Bailey wasn't really paying attention. They obviously had time, and she could talk to him about it later. Her mind was on other things, specifically, another person.
Was it normal to have feelings for another person when in a relationship?
She hated to admit it, but Bailey honestly thought she liked another boy. This boy was named Ryder. Ryder Lynn. He was in some of her classes, and he was so sweet, and cute. But, he was in glee club. That was why she got so nervous when Colton signed them up. Bailey was tempted to reject the idea, but Colton seemed so excited about joining, and there was no way in hell she was telling him why she didn't want to sign up.
If Colton found out about her crush, or even that she thought she had a crush, he would surely break up with her. Sure, it seemed like the logical thing to do, but Bailey didn't want to lose him. Colton was the best boyfriend ever, and whatever fledging feelings she had for that Ryder boy weren't enough to want to ruin what she had with Colton. She and Colton had been together for eight months. Bailey hadn't even known Ryder for eight months.
"Hey, Bailey," Colton's voice finally snapped her back into reality, "What do you think?"
Her brows furrowed again. "Hm?" she replied, looking up at him.
They stopped walking, standing outside Bailey's history class. "What song do you want to audition with?" Colton asked.
The girl shrugged, "Um, I'm not sure. I mean, there's so many to choose from." She said to cover up the fact she was pretty distracted, "You could always come over, and we can go through songs." Bailey batted her eyes at Colton to help persuade him.
Colton's eyes met her and he grinned. "Okay. I'll bring Chinese, because I know your mom's working late." He offered. Gah! He was too sweet, too perfect.
"It's a date!" Bailey declared before Colton leaned down and gave her a quick goodbye kiss. "I'll save you a seat at lunch." She smiled at him before he walked away. She sighed softly to herself before walking inside the classroom.
She set her books on her desk as her butt landed on the chair. Her eyes were on her green history notebook, and Bailey tapped her purple mechanical pencil against it.
"Hey there, you seem cheerful," came the familiar voice of a boy that was causing her problems. Bailey looked up at Ryder while he sat down in the seat next to her. He was grinning at her, "Excited for the super spectacular lesson Mr. Schue has for us?"
Bailey laughed, "Because history is so riveting." She commented sarcastically.
"Actually, it is." Mr. Schuester, their teacher, interrupted as he walked up to Bailey and Ryder. Papers were in the man's hands, and a smile was on his face, "Morning, kids."
"Um, hey Mr. Schue." Ryder replied simply, "Ready for glee today?"
Bailey paled at the sound of 'glee.'
Mr. Schue nodded, "Of course, Ryder! That's actually what I wanted to talk about." He turned to Bailey, "I saw that you signed up today. But, it didn't look like your handwriting, so I just wanted to confirm that you actually wanted to join."
Bailey nodded her head nervously, "Yes, of course. My boyfriend, Colton, signed us up. He had my full consent." She told the teacher. Her eyes quickly darted to Ryder when she mentioned Colton, but found their way back to Mr. Schuester just as quick.
"Fantastic!" declared Mr. Schue, "I can't wait to hear your audition." He patted Bailey on the shoulder before walking behind her to his desk.
When the teacher was out of hearing distance, Ryder raised a brow, "You signed up for glee club?" he asked.
Bailey nodded again. "That's right. Is that bad?" she asked.
Ryder laughed and shook his head. "Of course not!" he replied, grinning. "We're in desperate need of members." He continued.
"Ah, I see. Well, I saw a few other people sign up besides Colton and me." Bailey commented awkwardly, as if that would make things better. She looked away from Ryder, staring at her notebook.
"That's good." Ryder said, "So, Colton. What's he like?"
Bailey's eyes went wide, and she refused to look over at Ryder. "He's amazing." Bailey started, picturing the male in her mind, "He's sweet, smart, giving, talented. It was his idea for us to sign up." She glanced up at him, "I think you two will get along great."
Ryder smiled, "If you're so into in, he must be awesome."
Bailey nodded, "Yeah, because I'm definitely into him." Deep in her mind, Bailey knew that 'definitely into him' was not her true feelings towards Colton.
