Hello!
This chapter is the big date. Enjoy!

PS; I know this chapter is really early, but I wanted to put this up before I left for Florida next week. (I wont be able to post from there.)

I couldn't stop smiling that day. We decided that we would have our 'secret date' after school on Monday. It was Monday morning, and I just could not wait any longer. I needed to talk to him.

On another note, I hadn't seen Marley all day, besides English Class. But even then, she didn't seem very enthused. I stuffed my things in my locker, getting ready for lunch. When I shut the locker, I felt something creep onto my shoulder. I turned around quickly and saw Kitty and Tina standing there.

"Oh.. Hey, you guys." I said, smiling. They smiled back, though they didn't actually know why I was smiling. "Hey. Tonight. We are hanging out. It'll be great." Tina said, turning to Kitty, as if she had to say something next.

"We'll watch movies, play some games, and talk about.. Well, I think you have an idea already." Kitty squealed, and gave Tina a high five. "Uh.. I can't. Im grounded, remember?" I raised an eyebrow, and looked at them.

"Don't worry. We convinced your parents to let you go tonight. We'll pick you up at 5." Tina told me. With that, both girls left giggling. "Wait!" I yelled. They both turned around. "Mind if I bring Jake?" I asked. I really hoped they said yes.

Tina looked at Kitty. They had a conversation through their minds, and when finished, they turned back towards me. "Sure." They both grinned and left again. I smiled and walked down the hallways. I wanted to find Jake, tell him about this.

I headed into the cafe and saw Jake sitting at one of the tables, by himself. I rushed over to him, and sat beside his seat. He turned to face me, and smiled. "Hey.." He said, looking around. "Come with me." I stood up and walked into the hallway. He followed and I brought him into the Choir Room.

When the door shut, he wrapped his arms around me tightly. I squeezed him back and when we parted, he grinned, lovingly. "Im so excited for tonight." He confessed, taking my hand in his. "Right. About that. How would you like to hang out at Kitty's instead?" Jake raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Because they invited me over, and that's where my parents will think I am." I said, hoping he'd say yes. He seemed to think about it for a moment. "We'd still be able to do this..." He ran his hand down my chest until it reached my belt. "Right?" He asked. I shuddered at his touch, and he just looked at me, smirking at my reaction to what he was doing.

"In private.. Of course." I answered, taking his hand that was down under in my hand. I couldn't have him grabbing me like that, just in case. "Then, sure." He leaned in to kiss my cheek. "See you later." He winked and walked out of the room.


Later that night, I was getting ready to go over to Kitty's. My parents were sitting at the table, going through my bags. I had warned Jake about that, so he was packing essentials for our private party. Not that anything bad would happen, I mean, we just got together. I wouldn't want anything naughty to happen. But, just in case things got heated.

"Alright. Seems good." My mom told me, handing the bag back to me. "Remember, don't do anything dirty, and un holy." She reminded me, for the 100th time. "Yeah, I know mother." I heard a horn honking.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow." I kissed my mothers cheek, and nodded at my dad. I quickly ran out the door, and saw Tina's car parked in front of the house. I hopped into the car and saw Jake already in there. "We picked him up first." Kitty said, smiling.


When we got to their house, Jake and I sat on the couch, watching a movie. Jake was beside me, with a blanket over top of him. Kitty and Tina were sitting on the floor, and it looked like they were bored of the movie. "Game time." Kitty turned off the TV, and the girls turned around to look of Jake and I.

"Alright. Ryder, truth or dare?" Tina asked me. I sighed. "Truth." I said, waiting for the question to be asked. "Have you ever kissed a boy?" She asked. My eyes went wide, and I could see Jake looking down. "I.. I uh." I stuttered. Kitty and Tina both made ooing noises, and giggled. My face burned red. "Oh my gosh! Who?!" Tina asked, snickering.

I just looked down and hid my face. "Who?!" Tina asked, growing louder. I glanced up and saw them look at Jake, who was looking at me. I mumbled out an answer, but they didn't understand it. "Ryder!" Kitty grabbed my face and pulled it up. "Sam..." I said quietly, but they understood that time.

It wasn't like it was a lie. I DID kiss him a couple weeks ago. "We were both upset about things, and I just.. Kissed him. It could have been anybody if they were with me at the time, but it was him." I admitted. Jake looked down again, I could tell he was upset. I never told him about Sam, he thought he was the only guy I'd ever kissed.

"Damn. That's a nice picture.." Tina said, thinking about it.


An hour later, we were finished playing that game. "I'll be right back." Jake said, walking up the stairs. "I'm gonna get a drink." I said, following Jake. I saw him sitting at the table, his face in his hands. "Hey you." I said, smiling. He shot me a look that didn't seem too pleasant.

"Whoa, what was that for?" I asked, taking a seat beside him. "You didn't tell me about Sam, Ryder.." Jake said, looking at me, without a glare this time. "Oh. The only reason I didn't, was because I didn't think it was necessary. I'm sorry for not telling you, I just, really didn't want you upset."

Jake took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "Right, because I'm really not upset now." Jake snapped at me. I laid a hand on his shoulder, but he shrugged it off. "Jake, just because I kissed Sam, doesn't mean I like you any less."

Jake stood from his seat and rubbed his forehead. "I thought I was the only guy you ever kissed, and now hearing that you went and made out with Sam? That cuts deep. You know what? I'm out of here." Jake headed for the door, but I grabbed his hand. "Don't leave, Jake. Please."

He looked back at me and sighed. "Fine." He said. I let out a deep breath that I didn't realize I was holding. "Thank you." He shrugged like it wasn't a big deal. "Whatever. Can we go downstairs now?" He asked, in a monotone voice.

"Not until I do this.." I whispered, giving his lips a quick peck. He smiled. "Okay. I was going to stay mad at you, but how can I?" He asked, tilting his head. "A-hem!" We heard a voice say. I turned to the other side and saw Kitty and Tina standing there. "Oh, hey guys!" I said, stepping away from Jake.

"Want to explain what we just heard?" I furrowed my brows in confusion, how'd they hear that? They were downstairs. Kitty seemed to clue into my confusion. "Baby monitors. My parents are baby sitting this devil of a kid, and set baby monitors up. Now, you want to explain?"


We told them everything. From the locker room, to him and Marley getting back together, to me and him kissing, to Marley and him breaking up. "I knew something was up! Somebody owes me 10 bucks." Kitty squealed.

"That's actually, pretty hot." Tina said, thinking about it. "Ew. Gross." Jake said, shaking off the feeling. I felt over exposed as well. "So, who all knows?" Kitty asked, curiously. "You guys, and Sam." I confessed, turning to Jake. "That's the only reason I kissed him. I was really confused about things, and yeah. It led to that."

He smiled, and grabbed my hand. "You guys are so adorable!" Tina squealed, along with Kitty. "Just wait until Glee club gets a hold of you. Duets with you guys every week, you could do a duet for Nationals!" Kitty jumped and giggled at her ideas. "What? No. We can't tell anyone." Jake and I both rejected those ideas.

"But, why? You know the Glee Club will be so supportive." Tina questioned. I turned towards Jake and shrugged. "They would be.." I told him. He looked at the ground. "I can't tell them yet. You know how they reacted to the news about you and your babysitter." I had to agree with that. I told them that my babysitter molested me, and Sam and Artie cheered me on.

"That was Sam and Artie. They felt bad afterwards.. Kurt came out, and everyone loved him for it. Same with Santana and Brittany." Tina said, practically begging us.

The real question was, did I really want to come out?
