Get Out.
The Common Room had streamers in loads of different colours hanging haphazardly and a large table was set up with different types of drinks, chips and an assortment of other things on it. All the fancy chairs and tables were pushed back against the walls and a large stereo system was blasting out music.
The Warblers had sent the text to the members of the choir in a good spirit and feeling sorry for the other group. Little did they know that the giant banner they hung up saying 'CONGRATS WARBLERS!' should have had two show-choir names on it.
The party had started by the time all of the New Directions had arrived and the Warblers were dancing crazily in the middle of the room. Alex had been standing beside the drinks table, ensuring that the Warblers didn't spike the drinks when Blake arrived. Alex soon left his post and walked over to the boy.
'Hey.'He grinned and hugged him. Blake hugged back tightly, oblivious to Micah's glare.
'Hi, how are you?'Blake asked Alex, pulling back. Micah stalked off to the table where Brooke was carefully cleaning the rim of a glass with antiseptic wipes. Drew had already downed a few shots quickly and the others were just talking to one another.
'I'm good, how are you?'Alex grinned widely and brushed a stubborn hair from Blake's eyes.
'I'm great.'Blake sighed happily and Alex grabbed his hand and took him somewhere to talk. Seriously, only talk.

'This is great.'Vanessa said to Aarik as they watched some of the Warblers jump around the room excitedly.
'It's just like normal.'He laughed and sipped his beer.
'I know, it's funny how they're basically the same when they're drunk as when they're hyper.' Vanessa watched as Mark jumped up-and-down on one of the couches, his tie hanging loosely from his neck.
'They're hyper all the time.'Aarik laughed as Reece accidentally fist-pumped his brother in the face while dancing.
'Would you have gone here or McKinley if you'd had the choice?'Vanessa asked the boy, he motioned to an empty couch and the pair sat down.
'McKinley, still.'Aarik took another swig of beer.
'Why? I would choose here in a heartbeat.'Vanessa sipped her can of cider and looked curiously at her friend. The two had become much closer after Vanessa's little breakdown on the steps and spent a lot of time together.
'Because it's too protected. I'd feel like a caged bird.'He said thoughtfully as he eyed up the fixtures of the room.
'You make a fair point.'Vanessa agreed and leaned her head on his shoulder as he continued to drink his beer.

'SPIN THE BOTTLE!'Mark yelled.'AND ERRYONE HAZ TO PLAY!'He slurred loudly, the alcohol clearly showing. The two show-choirs sat in a circle and put an empty bottle of a Bacardi Breezer in the middle.
'I'm goin' first!'Drew laughed loudly and turned the bottle round. It landed on a random Warbler who she gave a quick peck to. This went on until it was Brooke's turn. She turned it around and it landed on Christine. She leaned over and they kissed quickly and Brooke's heart beat quicker as she pulled away. She really liked Christine. Micah caught her eye and gave her a quick wink before looking away.
Christine giggled and swirled the bottle around. She considered who she would like to kiss within the room but only one name seemed to stick in her mind. Adam. The bottle began to slow and Christine looked at who it would probably be. Micah, it slowly slid by, Mark, it did the same, Alex, it slowed down and stopped in front of the next person. Alex.
'I'm sorry Blake!'She laughed loudly and pulled Alex in for a sloppy kiss. She let go and fell back to the floor, clutching her stomach with convulsive laughter. Alex shook his head and turned the bottle. Hoping it landed on one person in particular. He shut his eyes and when he heard catcalls, he opened them.
The bottle landed on Blake.
Blake grinned sheepishly from across the circle and Alex leaned over. He put one hand on one side of the boy's face. Alex looked into Blake's eyes before closing his own and kissing the boy. The kiss began sweetly and softly before deepening slightly. Hoots from the show-choirs and catcalls rang out but neither boy heard them as the rest of the world faded away except each other. They pulled away when a loud banging noise rang out. The door to the balcony had been slammed shut by someone but they both only had eyes for each other.
'Wow.'Alex breathed and let go of Blake's face.

'You okay, Micah?'Nadia had followed him out to the balcony moments later. Micah sat on the ledge and Nadia sat beside him.
'Yeah, I'm just wonderful!'Micah smiled sarcastically.
'So, that's a no.'Nadia smirked and he pushed her slightly.
'No, I'm fine.'He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.
'No you're not,'She gave him a sad look.'Is it because of all the time Blake is spending with Alex? Look, just because he has a boyfriend now doesn't mean he'll forget about you.'She smiled softly and Micah nearly laughed. She was wrong. Sure, he wanted to spend more time with Blake but as much more than just best friends.
'Thanks, Nadia.'He smiled back at the girl and pretended that she was right.
'No problem.'Nadia sighed and fiddled with her skirt.
'You still like Jared.'Micah stated after a few moments of silence.
'Wh-what? No.'Nadia stuttered and avoided Micah's eyes.
'Yeah, you do.'Micah sighed and tried to catch her eye.
'Micah, I don't like him.'She said sternly.
'You don't just forget feelings for someone because something happened, Nadia. It's difficult to repress them! It hurts! It takes ages and sometimes it doesn't even work no matter how much you wanted to.'Micah stood up and paced along the balcony.
'It sounds like you know a lot about repressing feelings.'Nadia said quietly and stretched her legs out in front of her.
'You have no idea.'Micah said quietly.

'You look like my ex-girffrrend.'Drew slurred as she slumped down beside Brooke who was observing the people dancing sloppily around the room, trying not to get anything on her clothes.
'Is that a compliment?'Brooke asked, her speech perfectly clear. She hadn't been drinking.
'Yusss, but my ex-girrffriend isn't here.'Drew said, her eyes wide.
'Well, where is she?'Brooke asked. Drew's face became sad and she looked off into the distance.
'She's dead.'Drew's speech was crystal clear as she revealed a small part of her past to the red-head.
'I'm so sorry, Drew.'Brooke said quietly.
'Nothin' to be sorry for,'Drew said, her voice hoarse.'She did it herself.'Brooke did a double-take at Drew's words. Suicide?
'When?'Brooke asked the girl who was still staring off into space with a sad look.
'I don't wan' to talk 'bout her!'Drew said angrily and stood up. She swayed slightly before marching to the drinks table and grabbing a beer. Brooke followed after, not wanting Drew to black-out or anything.
'I don't think you should drink anymore.'She said as if she was speaking to a six year old.
'But I wanna!'Drew downed half the bottle and swayed even more.
'Drew, please give me the bottle.'Brooke told the girl who just got a drunken grin on her face and giggled. She licked all around the glass and laughed loudly at Brooke's disgusted expression.
'You're guna need some of your wipes if you wanna take this off me!'She sing-songed and laughed again. Brooke saw Christine come over and stop by the two girls.
'Hi!'She smiled and grabbed the bottle off Drew. She handed it to the nearest Warbler and Brooke smiled appreciatively at her.
'What? Why'd you do that?'Drew asked, her eyes manic.
'You're pissed enough as it is.'Christine said sternly and sat the intoxicated girl down. She poured her a glass of water which Drew downed.
'I thought this was Vodka.'She said, staring at the glass with curiosity.
'Nope, H2o!'Christine grinned and the girl looked around the room.
'I'm gonna go get laid.'She said and went over to a group of Warblers. Christine smiled at Brooke and shrugged.
'At least she's not killing her kidneys or liver anymore! I forgot which one it is.'Christine laughed and said goodbye to the girl.
Brooke was falling hard.

'I mean, I like herbal teas but nothing really beats normal, good old English tea!'Astrid knew she was rambling but couldn't stop herself. She was trying to act sexy and flirtatious but as per usual, her nerdy side decided to show. Tobias just smiled at the girl's little rant.
'Well, you make a fair point.'He flashed his pearl-white teeth at Astrid who tried not show the effect of it.
'Of course I do.'She grinned back at Tobias.
'So,'Tobias got a mischievous look in his eye.'Someone told me you were a Cheerleader.'He smirked. Astrid's eyes grew wide.
'Who told you?'She asked.
'Melodie,'Tobias laughed.'Wonderful girl.'He winked. So he liked Melodie. Not her. That figured.
'Yeah, she's very pretty.'Astrid sighed and bit her lip.
'I prefer blondes, myself.'Tobias smiled softly down at the girl who smiled back.
'That's... nice.'She breathed quietly and Tobias's smile grew wider.

Nora sat quietly in the corner of the room. Not drinking, not dancing, just sitting. She was bored and watched as Adam danced with her sister who seemed to loosen up when she got a bit of alcohol in her system.
She could see how much Adam liked her and how he always glanced at her, not even realising it himself. When she first noticed it, she had to admit that she was disappointed. The boy had been kind to her and had looked after her and she thought they could get together maybe but all ideas in that direction had to vanish. She was tired of fighting for boys.
The idea that Jared would take her back had been naïve. He would never take her back. She was a one night stand that had gone wrong but it just made her figure something out. The whole Nadia and Jared and her thing made her realise that she didn't need a guy. She could do this on her own. She was strong enough.
'Hey Warblers!'Melodie yelled from on top of a table.
'What?'One of them yelled out through cupped hands.
'As I am Sebastian Smythe's daughter, I think it only right to tell you that we-'
'I don't think you should be proud of being his daughter.'A smooth voice called from the door. Jared stood, leaning against the frame in a leather jacket and black skinny jeans.
'Get out.'Aarik said angrily.
'No,'Melodie said quietly.'What do you mean?'She asked Jared who barked a laugh.
'Don't you know about your father?'He asked, that glint coming back in his eye.
'What about him?'She said, still standing on the table.
'Oh honey, you may want to sit down,'Jared smirked as Melodie hopped off the table and crossed her arms over her chest.
'I don't need to.'She muttered.
'Get ready for some shocking news then!'He smiled evilly.'Did your Daddy ever tell you about how his school career went?'
'Yeah, he was in the Warblers.'She stated.
'The Warblers weren't the only thing he was in,'Jared laughed and stalked forward until he was a few inches away.'Rumor has it that your Dad was the town slut. Slept with anyone who'd open their legs wide enough.'Jared sneered. Sebastian had always told Melodie not to sell herself cheaply. To give herself standards. He wouldn't do that.
'Wrong Sebastian, then. My Dad would never do that.'Melodie glared at the boy in front of her.
'I have it on very good authority that your Daddy was a regular member at Scandals, the gay club-'
'Spend a lot of time there, yourself? 'Cause with jeans that tight, you couldn't be straight.'Melodie snapped at the boy, her bitchier side coming out.
'Very funny,'Jared smiled.'Anyways, your Dad probably forgot about those silly little video cameras in Scandals and wasn't careful about who he danced... Or did other stuff with,'Jared pulled a disc in a plastic sleeve from his jacket-pocket and tossed it to her.'Hope you enjoy watching your Dad whore about! Make sure to ask him about your Mom, see how much he-'Jared never got to finish his sentence because he was knocked to the ground. Blood ran from his nose as he looked up. Harry stood over him with his fist pulled back.
'Get the fuck out of here.'He said, his voice low and deadly. Jared smiled sarcastically, winked at Nadia and went to leave the room.
'Hope those videos change your opinion on your Daddy.'He said sweetly to Melodie before sauntering out of the school. Melodie stared at the disc in her hand.
'Are you okay?'Harry asked, pushing a strand of her wavy brown hair from her eyes. She looked up at him and nodded.
She would watch the DVD when she got home.
