My eyes went wide, "You didn't."
Puck tightened his smile and slowly nodded his head, "Cooper."
"You can't go around beating everyone who does something to me that you don't like!" I laughed loudly half way through my sentence.
His smile widened into a toothy grin, "Well, then," he said leaning in a little closer to me, "it looks like people are going to have to start treating you better." I could feel his breath on my cheek and tried my best to hold back a smile.
"Okay guys, sorry I'm late. But let's continue our lesson of the week with…Candice," Mr. Schu began class as he walked in a set his things down, "if you're up to it tell us, who are you!?" He shouted the last bit to remind those of us who haven't sung yet of our assignment.
I slowly broke my gaze with Puck and looked to the front of the class, sitting with my back to the chair, "Well, Mr. Schu," I started before licking my lips; it was that time of year where they got dry constantly, "it's been said that I'm a Bitch." I stood up and made my way to the floor as Santana hooted and a few of the guys made cat calls as I walked.
I faced my classmates as I took the floor. I gave Puck a grin and he returned it as the music started. (Meredith Brooks – Bitch)
I hate the world today
You're so good to me, I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you, But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath, Innocent and sweet
If Carter had been in glee with me, I probably would've been singing this part to him. He never auditioned for the fear of getting more crap than what we do now about going to this school. So instead I shoved my hands in my pockets and slowly walked over to Tina and Mercedes who smiled at me instantly. I crouched down and wrapped my arms around their shoulders.
Yesterday I cried, you must have been relieved to see the softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything all rolled into one
I stood back up and threw a fist to the air as I did my best to belt out the chorus and made my way back to the floor, pulling Tina and Mercedes with me. Some of the others took this as an invitation for them to join me, except for Puck, who stayed in his seat lightly smiling.
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean, you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that, when I start to make you nervous and I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change, and today won't mean a thing
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I sang, dancing around with my gleemates, throwing looks over my shoulder to Puck every few lines, who still sat in his seat, tapping his foot to the beat of the music and watching me with a smile.
Just when you think, you got me figured out, the season's already changing
I think it's cool; you do what you do
And don't try to save me
I rushed over to Puck, grabbing him from his un-bandaged hand and pulled him to the floor. He laughed loudly as he snaked an arm around my waist and we swayed with the beat of the music, his chin resting on my shoulder, my arm laid on top of his on my waist.
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way!
Everyone began to cheer for my performance as I tried to speak over them, "EXCEPT," I got their attention, "I'm not a mother." They all laughed, but I honestly didn't care what exactly it was everyone got from the song. It is how I saw me in the song that mattered to me, thought I didn't expect anyone else to pick up on it. We all took our seats again as Mr. Schu began to tell everyone who would be performing tomorrow and how many more performances were left of the week. Nobody else had anything prepared to go after me, so we spent the remaining time in class as a free period.
"So what are you doing after school?" Puck asked for only me to hear. We were allowed to talk, but Puck knew I didn't like people to know what I was up to outside of school. I never have, it's one of the reason people started making up rumors and spreading them about. They could never find out anything about me, so they gave me a story.
"Probably hang around with Connor. I have a feeling I'm going to have a lot of apologizing to do when we get home." I replied remembering our cherry flavored shower we had gotten earlier.
"I never see you outside of school, not even at parties or anything." Puck stated.
It was true. I hardly ever went anywhere that wasn't with my family, I wasn't a very good people person; if Puck hadn't of made a failed pass on me, I probably wouldn't be talking to him right now, he was still looking for different ways to catch my eyes, sometimes it worked but there wasn't a chance in hell I was going to let him know that.
"I'm not the party type…" I made an excuse as I grabbed his wrist and looked over his hand again.
"You're Irish; you're the party type." He said with a light laugh in his voice. I laughed a short but loud outburst, covering my mouth when some of my gleemates turned to look at me. "Seriously, Candi," he caught my hand in his and ran his thumb over the back of my hand, "what do I gotta do?"
"A lot more than this," I replied with a smile and a wink as the bell rang to end this period.
The rest of my day went pretty smoothly, with finding a new sticky spot on me here and there, and I was able to hurry to my locker to meet Carter at our car. He was already there in the driver's seat waiting on me. He pulled out of the parking lot as I buckled myself in, "Carter, I'm sorry about earlier." I apologized.
He sighed and shook his head slightly, "Don't be, I heard people talking about it. Cooper was going to do it whether you were going to stand up to him or not. Let's just get home. I'm starving." He replied looking over to me with a slow smile growing across his face at the mention of a food possibility.
That's the Irish appetite for you.
Review please? I would love to know what you guys think so far. :) And I'm sorry that this chapter basically turned out to be a song, sometimes that will happen, but when it does, the bold parts in the song may be important, depending on whats going on. O.o
