I had to do it

Alistair…

I heard him singing once or twice in the hallways, I can occasionally see him dancing when the hallways are empty, and he moves good, but not as good as Mason does, although I have to admit that doesn't happens all the time, the choreographies we try to do aren't that good to bring out his talent, or Jane's, or Kitty's. Even Madison's talent…

Roderick and me are the worst dancers that New Direction has had, me and my two left feet… we'll be a catastrophe!

I kick the locker below mine, luckily the guy who always fears to take his books when I'm around decided to not appear. He probably would have told me not to do it, but because he's feared for me I don't have anything to worry about.

"Well, you're going to explain me here and now, because you couldn't explain it in my class, what was all of that about flexing your muscles in front of Alistair?".

Roderick closes the door of my locker before I can remember why I opened it in first place.

"We need people in the club" I say, although I'm not sure about that.

I would have done the same thing with Mason, if he hadn't been the one who kissed me first, I would have done it simply to flirt with him, and I think it would have worked. But, doing so with Alistair, all I want is he joining to the club and get away from that kind of new commitment that could be formed.

"It's not the way, you need to have an audition and…".

"That's a lie, I didn't have an audition" I'm ready to put the combination in the lock but Roderick puts his hand in front of it.

"You did, indirectly" I roll my eyes and look at him. "Artie, Kurt and Sam heard you singing in the locker room a few weeks ago, also I saw you outside the choir room… but don't change the subject, explain yourself".

"I already told you, I did it just because I want Alistair to join the club, and you should try to convince him too, after all he's your friend" he makes a gesture of confusion and clears his throat.

"How is that you end up blaming me for your nonsenses?".

"Because I'm awesome".

"Yeah, whatever you say".

The bell interrupts us, and now I remember that it's the end of the day, and I can leave the pile of books I carry on my back every day locked in my locker until Monday morning.

I open the locker again and this time he doesn't stop me, in fact he leans in the wall next to them and puts his huge headphones on his ears. He listen his music so loud that I can listen it from here, and the distance should be about four feet.

Among the disaster that the organization of my locker represents, I found a note written in an uneven handwriting. Mace's handwriting. It's a small square of paper in which he wishes me a good day. I put it in the pile attached to the metal gate, along with a photograph that I have no idea who took but also appeared 'magically' in the locker. In the photo I appear kissing him in the cheek, and he's smiling, both of us with our eyes closed.

I do my best to settle the books and when I close the door I can feel how everything will fall on me if I don't remember it's a mess in there the next time I open it. Roderick is so absorbed in his phone that he doesn't realize when I'm already next to him.

"Don't forget we have to train you for coach Sylvester!" I shout when I remove the left headphone. He pushes me away and I laugh.

"What the hell is wrong with you today? You don't need to shout!".

"Of course I do, but forget it, see you tomorrow!".

He lifts his thumb and gives me a faint smile, he walks down the other hallway and I can see a bunch of guys from the team mocking about him. I'm about to stand in whatever they're saying about him but my phone stars to vibrate. I take it out from my left pocket and it's a text message.

Sorry, can't walk home with you, practice will last longer. Talk to you later. Love you. Mace Xx

"Just what I was missing" I mutter while I smile slightly to the screen, I slide the phone in my pocket again and look up.

Roderick is gone and the guys of the team too. I arrive to the main entrance of the school, I put the backpack, completely empty, in my back, and do my routine of jogging to get home.

I'm really surprised that the guys haven't thrown me the slushies they used to throw to New Directions' people, according to what Sam told me. I would say that everything has changed, but hey, who is mature enough at our age to behave as the adults we will be in the future? No one, we all love to do stupid things, in their measure.

Before I realize it I'm already climbing the steps of the porch of my house, I take out the key from the hanging flower pot beside it. Inside I hear nothing but silence and my shaking breathing, mom and dad should be working.

I go up to my room, throwing the backpack on the floor beside the bed and taking off my sweaty shirt. I collapse in the softness of the cotton quilts that mom decided to buy in a discount sale and sleep overcomes me so fast I don't realize it.


I see Mason sneaking in the cafeteria line, talking to Madison. I can't hear exactly what they say, but whatever it is Madison seems to be refusing to. Are they talking about me, I mean, us? I move closer a few tables, a distance from which it doesn't seem that I'm spying.

"Mmm-mm, no, massive mistake, Mason. I won't allow it".

"This isn't your decision to make, Madison. For once in your life quit being so darn controlling!".

Oh damn! That weird radar that Madison has should know that I'm around, but she only opens her mouth and eyes, she's ready to yell.

"Fine! See what I care! I certainly don't wanna be controlling! And while you're at it, why don't you just never listen to me again! Like that time I told you not to eat an entire bag of sugar-free gummy bears and you had diarrhea and everyone thought it was a mud slide!" and then she storms out.

"Madison, come on!" Mace yells. Jane approaches to him and they exchange a little talk, the guy that was behind Madison tells them something and then Jane goes.

I stand up and walk to be next to him, I take his hand and entwine our fingers. He blows and rolls his eyes.

"So, gummy bears, huh?" he makes a weird sound with his throat and ducks his head a bit.

"You hear that?".

"Yeah, well, I think everybody in here heard that" he looks up and his eyes are glassy. "What was all that about?".

"To be honest, I don't know. Sorry for saying this but I wanted to sing with Jane in the bar mitzvah, I think that our voices fit good" he surely saw me rolling my eyes because he stands in front of me and takes my free hand. "And I think that would let me be with you for real, without her getting nosy".

"You yell to your sister because of m-… us?".

"Yes" he tiptoes and kisses me in the lips, some people nearby just stare at us. "I did it for us".

His nose touches mine, neither of us looks away and we both began to outline those stupid smiles we usually have when we can be together. He's bothered a little for the curious glances and comments, not me while I can be with him.

"What?" he whispers in a tone so low that I resist lifting him and making him to encircle me with his legs.

"I just… I feel very lucky to have you…".

"Oh, Spens…".

He kisses me, and this time I let myself enjoy being the one who's kissed first, so much that I let his hands to place in my waist. I had never allowed anyone to take that freedom. I think Mace is changing me for good.

The bell rings and people start shuffling out the cafeteria, throwing the leftovers in the containers and swirling at the entrance. We entwine our fingers and we're the last people to leave.

"I'll see you later?" I ask when we are in the hallway.

"I don't think so, the practice today will also last longer, and you told me that you were going to train with Roderick" I pinch the bridge of my nose.

"I've forgot that completely".

"That's being a bad buddie" Madison appears at the end of the hallway, looking at us and turning on her heels, walking with a so fast pace that in milliseconds she's gone. "But it doesn't matter, I have to go".

"See you tomorrow, then" I kiss him on the cheek and hug him. His breath hits my neck when he sighs.

"See you tomorrow" he says before kissing my neck and run.

Mason…


Sing Friday I'm In Love while watching my cute cheerleader singing with my voice and smiling at my horrible dance steps, but at the same time thinking about Alistair, was the worst thing that could happen to me in the recent days. That and having to waste my time trying to train Roderick when neither he nor me are in the position of wanting to achieve something.

I have to admit that the idea of perform in the birthday party of a spoiled child… my mistake, the transition from a Jewish boy into a man, is the most fun thing I've had so far. At least I think that the guests like the little party that New Directions is offering.

And somebody please throw over me a bucket of iced water. Mason in that leather outfit… it still makes me shiver when I think of it, and thinking of me getting away every garment he wore…

I sigh and step inside of the choir room, and for my surprise I can see that hippie style sitting in the piano, playing a ukulele. Let's put that in the things I didn't know he could do.

"What are you doing in here?" I ask while I get closer to the piano. Yes, I'm going to flirt with him again, for the sake of the team, not me. "Playing a ukulele".

"I like to jam out with my uke sometimes the classics".

"So you just happen to be in here hopping that I walk by".

"No, Roderick told me about the bar mitzvah" I put my hands in the piano and lean a little too much closer while I cross my feet. "He said that you'd be performing and that I wouldn't want to miss it" I look at his bright eyes and he does the same. They're kind of cute. "And man was he right".

I get lost a second in the conversation, his eyes are very distracting.

"Oh, wait, you were in there watching?" I put one hand closer to my body and he nods.

"Oh, yes, yes I was. You've got some moves, Varsity Blues" I laugh and he just smiles. "But, actually I wanted a chance to say sorry for ignoring you".

«Dammit, heart talk!».

"Maybe I didn't get the best first impression of you. Roderick told me about how you stood up for him. How you always had his back and, well, it's really cool of you, Spencer" I snort and laugh.

Did Roderick actually say that? I thought that he hated me.

"I had a feeling that underneath all that macho smirk, you're a pretty sweet guy in the inside. Plus, in the outside, you're smoking hot" I laugh for the compliment. Wait, it was me who was going to flirt with him, I hate when the tables turn. "I mean, like, I'm not blind. You're ridiculously hot".

I laugh again, and this time I can almost feel that I'm blushing. That could be a weakness, and he could take it for something that is not supposed to be. Anyway, it's my turn to play.

"You know, we still need people for the glee club. If you're interested".

"In the glee club?" he does a weird grin.

"Mm-hmm" I say, nodding.

"Ah… I don't know. I mean, I might be kind of a loser, but am I really that much of a loser?" he leans a little while he talks. I look at the corner of the piano and then to his eyes.

"I'm gonna say yes" he laughs, and his face looks adorable when he does it.

No, I can't think like that, I have Mace. «Focus, dude, you're doing this for the club».

"Well, you're gonna have to work on that sales pitch if you're really-".

I don't know why I do it, I'm not a cheater. But my hand takes his shirt and I kind of force him to kiss me, but he doesn't refuse. In fact, he kisses me back, taking a deep breath that makes me tickles and wanting to kiss him deeper. Like I do with… Mason!

After what I think feels like the longest six seconds of a lifetime, he's the one who moves apart.

"Aaaaaaaand sold" he says, not looking away from my eyes.

I laugh, and I don't feel forced to do it. I look down and he smiles, he puts his hand under my chin and another kiss starts, this one with a little more rudeness.

For some kind of instinct I put my hands behind his neck, making sure that his long hair tangles in my fingers. He stretches his legs and encircles me with them, pulling me so close that I can feel the way his chest goes up and down.

The kiss is so bitter and at the same is so sweet, our lips are moving in an indescribable rhythm that I would be enjoying if I weren't dating Mason. I should split apart, but some part inside my head wants this.

"Uh… what… what are you doing?".

Damn my good luck, it's Roderick. I can open my eyes and I see him in the door, crossing his arms and staring at us with his mouth slightly open.

"Well" Alistair says, getting down the piano and putting his ukulele in its case. "This is not my choir room so I'm leaving, but I'll probably be auditioning, I don't know. I have to think of it with my pillow".

"Yeah, do that" I answer, looking only to Roderick.

"I'll stay a bit more to see you guys perform, see you there".

Alistair kisses me in the cheek and goes out the room, and he high-fives with Roderick in the door, but he doesn't look away from me. I start to walk near the keys of the piano and so does he.

"And this is the time when you say you did it because of the club?".

"I had to do it for the club! Why is it so hard for you to understand?" I snort and punch the piano. Roderick just keeps shaking his head.

"I really don't understand your reasons, but it's okay, at least for me… I don't wanna see what Mason will think about this".

"That's the part when you remember we're buddies now, and, as buddies, we keep secrets and help each other out" I take a deep breath, because I'm going to do something that I never knew I would be doing. "And I'm begging you to not say a thing, please… I don't want to ruin anything between us".

Roderick plays a few notes in the piano and mumbles the notes, even the high notes, but not higher than Myron.

"I'm just gonna say that the truth is gonna burn your mouth until you can't contain it, and then it will explode" he moves from the piano and steps next to me. One of his hands takes my shoulder and I hold his hand. "Think it right, man".

He pats my shoulder and walks away. I take a minute and I too play a few notes in the piano, but I don't repeat the sound.

I really want to be with Mason, he's so handsome, small, cute, smart and talented, it's the kind of guy that I secretly always wanted, but now Roderick said what I didn't want to think about.

For some reason I have to choose between Mason and Alistair… because, even when I really care and love Mason, I'm not choosing him without hesitating. Alistair is bugging my mind now, and that's so unfair that I want to punch someone on the face just to cool off.

A choice. And I'll be fucked up with the decision…
