As the World turns
"I don't need you to give me my freedom I am a grown woman!"
Marley stopped right in her tracks when she pushed open the door of the auditorium. She got a small peak at whatever was going on in there. It was that guy Finn and some girl on the stage, she was yelling at him about something. Marley wasn't a nosy person so she turned around and waited against the wall, ignoring the muffled speaking. Finally the girl walked out, her eyes red and puffy as she almost mowed Marley down.
"Oh I'm sorry," She sniffed. "I didn't see you there."
She blinked, wait what? Was someone actually apologizing to her? "Uh, it's ok?"
The girl gives a watery laugh. "Oh I get it, you are not used to people actually being decent." She gave as sad smile. "Don't worry, its gets better." She wipes her eyes and then shrugs. "You just need to find your place you know."
Marley smiles because she has already found she belongs. "I think I already found it" she explains and then looks up at her name being called. It was Jake and he was waiting for her so they could leave, she was going to help him with his history homework. He did nothing but sleep in that class, no wonder he was failing. "I got to go," She tells her. "I'm Marley by the way."
"Rachel Berry" She said and Marley smiled a shy smile. "It was nice meeting you Marley."
She gave a quick nod before walking off. "Oh and Rachel," Marley stops and turns back around to face her. "I already found my place" She looked past her and at the doors of the auditorium. "It's on that stage where no one can touch me."
Rachel smiles back because she knows that feeling all too well. She watched as the girl walked over to the boy with the leather jacket, a smile forming on his face when she reached his side. She watched for any movement that would tell her that they were a couple but there was nothing. Though the way he smiled at her and she smiled at him screamed something, it screamed that they were in love and had no idea. She sighed as she watched them leave and the crossed her arms and doing the same. She had a good feeling that someday, Marley would be more than an invisible girl in the hallway and maybe that boy would help her discover that.
