I guess Ryan would look like a mix between Zac Efron and James Mascow. But with Rachel's unique brown eye color. Or it could be your choice. You make Ryan whoever you want him to be. BTW I will explain why Quinn's website name is the same from I am Number Four later in the story.
Chapter 2: Stay Invisible
I laid down on my bed and started to think about my day. Then a light bulb light up in my head. Quinn had a website of the different pictures she took. I got my laptop from desk and went back on my bed. I typed in www. Strangers In . I saw the picture the teacher was talking about. Apparently it was the peek of the week.
The photos looked like they were hanging from a line. I clicked on New Photos and a bunch of pictures of random kids showed up. I took a deep breath because these pictures were all very good. I was browsing through all the of them when I saw a picture of me and a choir room chair.
I clicked on the picture and a whole lot of pictures of me came up. My name was the title and the pictures were lined up like film paper and they were pics of my glee audition and pictures of me and Quinn's "Lucky" performance. I didn't even notice Quinn taking picture during my performance.
I guess Santana took pictures of our performance because their like besties and whatnot. I was smiling while looking at them pictures. Me and Quinn looked like we were in love for real. Then I furrowed my eyebrows when the photos started saying "image not found". Then I put my lips in a straight line when I realized that is was Henri's doing.
Sure, enough I can hear footsteps coming up my stairs to my room. Then I see Henri appear in my doorway. "Invisible, You hear me when I said that, yeah because I remember you being there"He said. I frowned shook my head, looked at the screen one more time before closing my laptop. I snorted then I thought how frustrated Quinn would be when people couldn't see my photos.
She would probably look adorable. Wait, adorable? It's probably nothing right? Okay time to go take a nap.
Florida:
A truck pulled up to a burned beach house. Two giant, pale, shark-like features , and tattooed head people came out wearing black trench-coats. One walked around the burned spot where the house was. The other went near the old fire and crouched down to inspect it. He saw a burned piece of a license plate, picked it up and gave it to the other man. The other man sniffed it and told him in an unknown language "Number Four Didn't Die Here".
William McKinley High School:
God, just when you think film class can't be any more boring the teacher has to put a movie about the Civil War. It's just it's very annoying because all the facts are wrong. I hear a hair creak forward behind me.
I felt someone tap me to get my attention. I turned around and saw Finn. "Hey, I see you and Sam have been getting along"he said, "I guess you have a soft spot for freaks right?" Right when he said this I felt angry. Then I felt my hands on fire and a low light started to appear on them.
"Who's talking?"the teacher asked. I sensed Finn look at the movie to pretend he's been watching it the whole time. When the teacher turned away Finn started talking to me again. "Yikes,Look it's cute really you are adorable but I can't help you if you're friends with that freak."He said. I was getting angrier every second he still talked. I was getting really sweaty and my hands started getting even more brighter by the second..
"Alright"I said just to get him to stop talking. "Good you came to see things my way" he said. He patted my shoulder and he immediately pulled back. "Jesus,dude you are soaking he said. I couldn't take it anymore my hands felt like someone poured lava over them. I stood up quickly and my chair toppled over. I looked at my hands that were lighting up blue and fled the classroom.
I ran down the hallway with my hands in my hoodie when I saw the nurses' room open. I went inside and saw Quinn before passing her and telling her "Headache, need to use the bathroom". I locked myself in the restroom and started to shake my hands trying to get rid of the burning.
I saw the sink and let the water get really cold before I put my hands under it. It worked for a while but then the water started to boil. I pulled them out of under the water and looked at them. I guess they finely reached it full hotness because next thing I knew I passed out.
When I woke up I heard a voice in my head. "This is your legacy Lumen,,take a deep breath and feel that you can control it"the voice said. I followed the advice and little by little the lights went away until it was all gone. My hands felt way better.
I don't know how long I was in the restroom I guess it was a long time because I heard a soft knock at the restroom door. "Ryan, are you okay in there?"Quinn's soft voice came through the door. My heart started pounding I was confused as to what this feeling was. "Uh,yeah I'm fine, I'll be right out." I responded
I got up and opened the door and was met with Quinn's worried face. "I'm fine really just a small headache" I said while smiling at her. She raised an eyebrow before shrugging and letting it go. I was struck with a sudden thought. Why was she in the nurse's office? I decided to ask her. "Why are you in the nurse's office?"
Again with that eyebrow. Admittedly it is very scary. It would probably have the Mogadorians cowering in fear too. "I have free period now so I usually come by the nurse's office to help her out."She said while arranging files on the desk. "That's cool I guess"I told her while walking to help her.
I grabbed the bottom half of the files and started arranging them in alphabetical order. Suddenly I remembered that our assignment for glee club was to to a duet. I decided to ask Quinn since Mr. Schue said we were going to be the new leads because our voices harmonized better than her and Finn. Hey I just realized their names rhymed Finn,Quinn, Quinn, Finn. Anyways back to the subject at hand.
"Hey Quinn, I was wondering if you'd be my duet partner for the assignment this week since we're going to be the leads from now on"I asked her. She seemed to contemplate it for a moment then said, "Okay but after we finish with the files we should go to the choir room to choose a song and practice it."
I handed her my finished pile. She looked at my smug smile and pursed her lips and decided just to ignore it. When she finished we headed to the choir room. We walked in silence. When we got their we sat on the piano bench. We turned to each other unexpectedly and said "I know what song we should sing!" at the same time.
"You go first."I said. She opened her mouth and said, "I Wanna Know You." (I chose that song because I don't want to forget Hannah Montana. I grew up with it. Also because Lea Michele does have a scar above her eye so Ryan should have it to.)
I was surprised because that was the song I was going to say too. "What about you what song?"she asked me. I smiled. Boy, was she going to be surprised. "The same song you chose I was thinking we should do that song either way."I said. She did look surprised.
"I guess we should start practicing I'm kinda excited and want to present it today." I said while sitting behind the drums. She nodded okay. She started.
After we practiced we went to our next class. When our classes were over it was time for glee club.
I went to talk with Sam and Mike while Quinn went to talk with Brittany and Santana. Mr. Schue came through the door five minutes late .He walked up to the front of the room and clasped his hands together
"Okay Does anybody have anything to present today" He asked. Only me and Quinn raised our hands. "Ah our two leads let's see what you prepared today."he said while ushering us to the front of the room.
I went behind the drums and started the beat while the band followed my lead.
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
[Quinn]
When I saw you over there
I didn't mean to stare
But my mind was everywhere
I wanna know you
Gonna guess that you're the kind
to say what's on your mind but,
Listen when I have something to show you
There's a mark above your eye
You got it in July,
Fighting for you're sister's reputation
You remember people's names and
Valentines are lame
[Ryan]
So I bring you flowers just for no occasion, Oh
[Ryan and Quinn]
Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh
I Wanna Know You
Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh
I wanna go there where you go
I wanna find out what you know And
Maybe someday down the road
Sit back and Say to myself
"Yeah, I thought so"
[Quinn]
You smile, never shout
You stand out in a crown
You make the best of every situation
Correct me if I'm wrong
You're fragile and you're strong
A beautiful and perfect combination
[Ryan and Quinn]
Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh
I wanna Know You
Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh
I wanna go there where you go
I wanna find out what you know And
Maybe someday down the road
Sit back and Say to myself
"Yeah, I thought so"
I like how you are with me
In our future history
And maybe somewhere down the road
Sit back and Say to myself
"Yeah, I thought so"
[Ryan]
Yeah I thought so, whoa, yeah
[Ryan and Quinn]
Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh
I wanna Know You
Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh
I wanna go there where you go
I wanna find out what you know And
Maybe someday down the road
Sit back and Say to myself
"Yeah, I thought so"
I like how you are with me
In our future history
And maybe somewhere down the road
Sit back and Say to myself
"Yeah, I thought so"
We finished and we got a big round of applause. I walked over to Quinn and smiled at her before taking my seat and letting Mr. Shue speak. "Alright guys that was great I loved the energy and chemistry"he said, "We need our songs to have that level of passion.". Um, passion? What the hell was he talking about? "I know I could totallt see the sexual tension those to have, like two cats in heat."Santana said.
I looked at the clock. Great 35 minutes until I get to escape this place of embarrassment.
45 minutes Later.
Finally I get to go home.
I ran through the woods by the camera shop and tripped on a step and went through the door. I can still hear Henri laughing by the Ryan-sized hole in the door. I groaned and went back downstairs. I grabbed Henri's attention by slapping him. That shut him right up.
"I got a legacy today, Lumen, I think that's what it's called" I told him. He looked at me indifferently. "I guess we start training tomorrow after glee club. You better get some rest. You're going to need it"he said then left me by myself.
Review?
