Megan and Ryder were walking down the hallway almost like a couple. Most of the people in school even thought they were dating, even some of the teachers. They go to there lockers across from each other and keep there conversation going.
"So, do you want to get something to eat later?" Ryder asks.
"Yeah, like Subway after school or something" Megan answers and Ryder walks over to her side.
"No, I mean like a real date." He says. Megan looks at him and doesn't know what to say.
"I don't know, Ryder" she says pulling out some sheet music from her locker. "I don't even know if I want a relationship or even a fling."
"I don't want this to be a one night thing, Megan. I care about you" He says.
"I know, it's me okay. I don't feel comfortable opening up to someone so soon." She says
"It's been a month since school started back and you don't feel comfortable?" He asks confusingly.
"It's just, I have a lot of history about my emotions. I keep building up walls" she says as she closes her locker.
"You know what it is? You're scared that history is going to repeat itself, and that if we don't end up sleeping together we won't have a future at all" He says with frustration.
"Ryder, it's not that at all-"
"You know what, forget about it" He says and walks away. Megan watches him as he walks away. She turns around and starts to walk to her next class.
Megan:
I know that I have issues, I face them, I swear
Think I overcome then but turn, they're still there
Wish that I was different , I'd like to let go
But when I try to change there's my past
Megan ends ups following Ryder down to the hall.
Maybe it's all 'cuz of Dad, his new kids his new wife
Or why not just blame Mom, who's been nuts my whole life
When you've felt so alone since you're moment of birth
And you've struggled to find your own true sense of worth
When it seems there is no one across this whole earth
To depend upon, you carry on—just like you always do
Cuz it's safer to rely on you- oh it's safer to rely on you
Megan is sitting behind Ryder in class.
Seen a million movies all selling true love
Fantasies I'm not sure that I'm worthy of
Caution to the wind, my heart's been on display
Still the end result is it's not gone my way
Megan is walking down the hall again into the auditorium.
So when I date some new guy who's a deadbeat or jerk
At least I'm not so crushed when it all doesn't work
When you once unafraid wore your heart on your sleeve
And the ones that you love chose to just turn and leave
She walks up the steps to the stage.
Everyday it gets harder to somehow believe
You will survive, so you strive just to keep up your guard
Cuz it's safer to hold every card—oh it's safer to hold every card
I feel out of control—I feel safe on the ground
I go building up walls—yet I wish to be found
A true contradiction to which I am bound
As I keep on spinning around and around and I
Look at the people who've worked it all out
And I wonder why I'm still a bundle of doubt
And sometimes I wanna just stand up and shout
Megan walks into glee club and sits behind Ryder.
Just commit and deal with it before your life flies by
Don't let your life fly by
She leans forward and puts her chin in her hand.
But is it safer? Maybe it's safer if I don't try
April walks into the choir room and picks up a whiteboard marker. She then begins to write something on the board. She turns on her heels and faces the students.
"Hairspray" She says.
"There's only 4 black people in glee" Unique says referring to herself, Jake and two newbies ; Katie and David.
"Well, then it should make it easier for you to get a principal role now. Wouldn't it?" April says.
"Now, auditions will start at Wednesday lunch. The sign up sheet is up already" she adds.
"I have a question" Alisha says. "Does whoever gets Tracy have to wear a fat suit?" She asks.
"Probably" She says.
"And who's directing this?" Kitty asks while crossing her arms.
"Coach Beiste and I." April says but Megan notices a tall blonde walk into the room.
"I hope you didn't forget about me" the woman says.
"Holly! I didn't think you were coming" April says surprisingly. "For all of you who don't know. This is Holly Holiday"
"Professional Substitute Teacher" Holly says while walking into the room. Ryder, Kitty, Marley, Jake and Unique seems excited that she is here.
"So, are you auditioning?" Jake asks Megan as they walk out of glee.
"No, I'm not really the actor type" she says.
"Audition to be one of the dancers then?" He suggests.
"I dance like a zombie who needs to poop, I think I'll just sit this one out." She says and turns around the corner only to go to her locker only to be met by John.
"Oh, Hey Princess" he says smiling.
"What do you want?" She asks sharply.
"Nothing" he says.
"Okay, do you mind moving you're kinda blocking my locker." She says and he steps to the side and gestures over for her to stand there. Megan opens up her locker and she can feel a pair of eyes on her.
"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to say something?" She asks directing in to John.
"You know, I heard your fight with Ryder this morning"
"We didn't fight, we just had a misunderstanding." She says closing her locker and walking away.
"That's a lie, I know what the problem is. He's not man enough for you, you need someone like me to show you the right way" he says following her down the hall.
"Would you keep your voice down? He wasn't asking me for that," she says in a hushed tone while tugging at his letterman jacket sleeve. He pulls her up over to the side of the corridor, with her leaning against the wall and his arm next to her head making her stuck.
"Then what's your problem?" John asks.
"I don't have a problem" she says trying to look away.
"Just go out on a date with me, I can show you how a real man treats a lady" he says.
"What he pays for the condoms out of the bathroom vending machine?" She says in a stern tone.
"Can you just answer me" he says.
"I-I-I" she tries to answer but she is interrupted by a pair of lips smacking down onto her's. She tries to push John away but he's to strong and she's too weak. He finally pulls away and smiles.
"Tell me your answer later" he says and winks at her, walking away in the other direction. Megan looks at him in disgust. She goes to walk away to see Ryder standing there.
"I guess I was right, you only want someone to sleep with" He says in a hushed voice and walks away.
"Ryder, it's not what you think" she says trying to chase him.
"Just, save it" he says and walks into the boys locker room.
