"So, this is really nice." Jake said with his usual grin as he was holding Marley by the waist while they were dancing in the middle of the dance floor. Marley on the other hand, barely heard what he said. She was too busy focusing on the mental image of she had taken of Kitty in her light purple dress when she entered the dance, aside with Puck, Jake's older brother. The blonde was shocked that Kitty came with someone else, and as much as she tried to convince herself that she didn't care, it blew up into proportions when she looked at Kitty and Puck dancing together and she felt that twinge of jealousy within herself. It would be a lie if the blue eyed brunette denied the fact that Kitty looked absolutely dropped dead gorgeous tonight. She wanted to do nothing more than to go over to the blonde Cheerio's direction and rip that dress to shreds.

Gosh, you're such a horn dog! Even when you're mad at her.

I'm not mad at her, I'm just so confused.

Marley, to be honest, I think Jake is lying! Just look at the way he's looking at you! It looks like he wants to rip your clothes off.

He always grins like that.

YOU'RE SO NAÏVE!

Kitty's hurt me a lot, Jake hasn't hurt me once.

Kitty's told you she loves you, Jake hasn't.

Okay, maybe you're-

Kitty's risking more in her life to be with you, Jake doesn't.

Okay, that's also-

Kitty loves you, Jake doesn't. Marley let those wise words from her conciouns sink in for a bit.

"Marley…you okay?" Jake said, trying to snap Marley out of her gaze.

"Uh what?" Marley said.

"You zoned out on me again…are you alright?" Jake asked as he put his hand on Marley's shoulder.

"Oh yeah, I'm just fine. I think I'm just a little thirsty…that's all. Here, I'll be right back." Marley said as she smiled at Jake, removed his hands on her waist, and walked towards the punch bowl. She looked all over for Kitty but didn't see her anywhere in sight. She sighed a small sigh as she grabbed a small plastic cup. She had just finished pouring her punch when she felt a light tap on her shoulder. Marley didn't know who it was until she turned around and faced Maria, the girl she had punched in the face a couple of months ago and one of Kitty's Cheerio teammates.

"I come in peace." Maria said as she held up her right hand as though she was testifying to tell the truth and nothing but the whole truth on trial.

"Okay." Marley said as she finished pouring the punch in her small plastic cup. She barely even wanted to talk to Jake, so what on Earth would make anyone believe that she was in the mood to talk to Maria.

"Sorry I punched you in the face." Marley said as she took a sip of the red punch. She really wanted Maria to just leave, and it looked like Maria really wanted to, but the other Cheerio just stood her ground.

"It's fine. So anyway, I hear that you and my home girl Kitty are in the dog house?" Maria asked.

"You can say that." Marley answered shortly. Why is she asking me this? Marley questioned herself.

"Look, you can drop the act alright? I already know all about you and Kitty. So let's just be real already." Maria finished. Marley's stomach then felt like it had a million knots inside of it. If Kitty's told Maria, I wonder who Maria's told…? Marley thinks to herself.

"You, you do?" Marley barely manages to say.

"Well yeah! Look, everyone gets tired of hanging out with the popular group, I even do sometimes. Kitty doesn't like us, we know that. The only reason she stays around is because she has to. Her mother can be so controlling, or at least that's what she tells me. So when she found a friend like you, she couldn't believe it. She's told me all she's done to you. From the name calling, to stitching your clothes up before the play Grease. And I know the odds don't exactly look in her favor right now, but I promise you Marley, Kitty thinks of you as a great friend, her best friend in fact." Maria said as she looked down at her sparkly shoes. Marley sighed in relief as she comprehended the fact the Maria didn't actually know about Kitty and Marley, just about their friendship. The knots in her stomach instantly went away. Marley then noticed that Maria had a hint of jealousy in her voice as her eyes hit the floor. Marley knew that it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out Maria and Kitty were pretty close, and she felt a little bit bad for taking the other girls best friend.

"Classic Hunger Games quote." Marley says. Maria raised her gaze to Marley and the Cheerio is really puzzled.

"Huh?" Maria asked with a confused raised eyebrow.

"May the odds be ever in your favor?" Marley answers.

"Yeah, Effie says that all throughout the book. It's become one of my favorite quotes ever. You watch the Hunger Games?"

"And I've also read the books." Marley responds. Maria's eyes seem to light up at this.

"Team Peeta or Gale?" Maria asks.

"Team Peeta." Marley answers.

"That's what I thought." Maria said. "But anyway. The real reason why I came here was because I heard that you and Kitty were fighting. And even though she's not my best friend anymore I don't like seeing her get hurt. I may be a bitch sometimes…" Maria says as Marley stares at her with an eyebrow raised. Maria then rolled her eyes and said…

"Okay, I may be a bitch most times…but I don't like seeing my friend hurt! And even though it doesn't look like she's hurt, she is. Today I challenged her to a race across the football field and she didn't even try! And Kitty Wilde usually beats me. This is the first time she beat me, so it struck me as odd. Then I heard about you two's fight and it all came together."

"Hey, I wasn't the one that tried to steal Jake." Marley answered, even though she knew that this situation hardly had anything to do with the younger Puckerman brother. In fact, she could care less if Jake fell in a well and never returned. She was just so heartbroken at the possibility that Kitty had only used her to get her away from Jake. She was then angry when she saw Maria laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"That anyone actually likes Jake after all the girls he screwed over. As a matter of fact the girls in the locker room compare Jake to his older brother Puck, and we all agreed that Jake was worse. And then Katie, one of my teammates, ran out of the locker room crying because her and Jake, well…he told her he loved her before they…you know." Maria said. Marley's eyes popped open. "It was a pretty sad sight.

"Wait a second…Jake's not a virgin?" Marley asked. Maria just started bursting out laughing, but then stopped as she noticed Marley's growing anger.

"Oh, you didn't know that Jake wasn't a virgin. You know, you're a smart chick when it comes to book smart but you're a very bad judge of character. " Maria was trying to read Marley's eyes to figure out the emotion and all the Cheerio could see was anger and regret. "And you didn't know that, and I probably shouldn't have told you….well, this is awkward. I'm going to-"

"What happened?" Marley interrupted before Maria could get another word out.

"What do you mean what-"

"What happened after Jake and Katie…had sex." Marley asked again, sick to her stomach at the last two words of her question.

"Katie never told us but she did tell us that he stopped texting and calling. Whenever he'd see her in the hallway he made U-turns. It sucks though because Katie was a good girl. Now, whenever a decent guy wants to take her out, she declines. Afraid that if she goes out with another guy they'll end up being exactly like Jake." Maria finishes.

"Why didn't Kitty tell me this?"

"She tried, yesterday. But I guess she was so upset that you didn't believe her that she never found the right words to say possibly? I don't know why Kitty does things. Never did. But I can guarantee you one thing, for some reason ever since you came into her life, Kitty hasn't lied. Well, after the play of course…"

"But, Jake said that Kitty tried to seduce him and…"

"Oh God! You actually believe that crap! TREVOR! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!" Maria called. In two seconds flat Marley saw a tall, blonde male with green eyes scurry over to Maria's direction.

"Hey babe. What's wrong?" Maria's boyfriend asks her.

"You hang out in the guy's locker room with the basketball team, right?" Maria asks. Marley is now super confused on what's going on.

"Yeah, they're my boys! Why…?"

"And you hang out with Jake Puckerman, is that correct."

"Yeah babe, he's cool but he can be a real jerk."

"Why?" Maria asks him.

"I don't know. In the girls locker room yesterday he was just going on and on about how he was going to get into some chicks' pants this weekend and it was crazy babe! I don't know who it is but he said she was from Glee and is like, super smokin' hot under all those hideous shirts she likes to wear." Trevor said and Maria glares at him. "Not that I have eyes on any other girl but you babe, I love you."

"I love you too Trevor. Okay, please go away now."

"You got it babe." And with that, Trevor left the two girls. Maria smiles at her silly boyfriend and looks over to Marley, whose face is now red and her body feels like it's shaking with anger. Something weird is going on with her stomach but the brunette passes it off as anger as she takes the final sips of her punch.

"I'm sorry you had to hear that. I just wanted him to tell you the truth about what went on in the hallway Thursday afternoon. Yes, Kitty did threaten Jake, to take care of YOU! She didn't want him or 'try to seduce him', she wanted to protect you. Jake was the one who tried to seduce her. Look, you're a super sweet girl and I'm super sorry you had to here this from me but-"

"No, it's…it's okay." Marley says as she angrily throws the cup to the floor and she turns on her heel and begins to make her way over to Jake. "Oh, and thank you, by the way." Marley says as she turns around again to thank Maria."

"Yeah, no problem." Maria smiled as she turned around as well to go back to her boyfriend Trevor. Marley smiles at the other Cheerio one last time before marching her way over to Jake. The fast paced music really adds to Marley's anger as her head begins to hurt and her blood begins to boil. The blue eyed brunette feels like she's in a sugar rush, but is way too angry to care.

When she finally approaches Jake the boy grins at her.

"Hey Marley." Jake says as he starts dancing to the music. Marley then decides to dance one last time with him, for she knows this will be the last time she will ever share a dance with this play boy.

"Hey Jake." Marley speaks.

"So, I just chugged down seven drinks of punch in a row while you were gone. A couple of my friends literally shoved them down my throat but it was worth it because it was a bet, and I got ten bucks off of it." Jake brags.

"You're awesome," Marley says sarcastically. "And I really like you Jake. But…I have this problem…I always assume the best in people."

"And that's my favorite thing about you, besides your eyes." Jake flirts. Marley then feels a twinge of anger in her stomach.

"Thanks, it's just when you assume the best in people like that… you tend to miss stuff, like…signs. You know, like… when someone is about to hurt you." Marley explains as Jake raises his eyebrow in confusion.

"What are you-?" *WHACK* Marley interrupts Jake with a slap to the face. Jake puts his hand on his now red marked cheek as his jaw drops in surprise.

"THAT, was for lying." Marley says furiously as she feels a rush of adrenaline she's never felt before in her whole entire life.

"But I-" *WHACK* Another slap to Jakes face, this time, the left cheek.

"And THAT, was for trying to make Kitty into something she wasn't." Marley finishes as she walks away. Jake is stunned at the fact that Marley figured it out. He's left standing in the middle of the dance floor, confused, angered, humiliated, and with one red mark on both of his cheeks where Marley slapped him senseless. Marley on the other hand, was full of regret. She was really sad that she ever thought Kitty was capable of such a thing.

So he was the one that's lying.

Told you.

Please don't kick me while I'm down.

Sorry sweetie, but I'm your conciouns, and I have to tell you when you're wrong so you won't do it again. That's why the big man above has me as your conciouns you know.

Yeah I know. Oh God, I feel funny.

It's probably you're anger; it should go away in a bit.

You're right. Marley thought to herself as she kept on walking to look for Kitty. All of a sudden she stumbled on her heel and fell to the floor.

OW! What the heck was that?

I don't know. Are you okay.

Yeah, my stomach though, it feels funny.

Why don't you go drink so more punch to settle it down?

You're right. Marley thought to herself as she went over to the punch area to drink more punch, in hopes it would settle her stomach down.

Kitty was outside in the parking lot walking around. She knew that if she went back into the dance and saw Jake and Marley dancing again she would probably lose it. She decided to take a seat on one of the red and white colored benches because her feet were killing her. She then looked up at the nights' sky and noticed how beautiful and bright the stars looked. She then remembered something her father told her when she was seven. He told her that if she ever got lonely while he was away on his business trips to look up at the stars, and no matter where he was, there was a huge chance that he was looking at the stars to. For the first time that night Kitty found herself smiling at the sweetness thoughts of her father. She missed him so much and he had been gone for nearly a month now. Kitty knew some business trips were horrendous, but this once seemed super long. Yet, she always passed it off as some CEO brand keeping him a little while longer to sell endorsements. She then felt her phone vibrate in her small purse. She unlocked it and found out that she had one missed text from Maria.

Just talked to your best friend Marley at the punch bowl about ten minutes ago. -Maria

Kitty was shocked that Maria had even thought about talking to Marley after their history together. She quickly typed out a reply.

What'd you two talk about? -Kitty

The hazel eyed blonde was curious to know what Maria and Marley had talked about. She was so lost in thought that she hadn't noticed the Vintage Puckerman brother walk up behind her.

"Hey Meow Mix, I've been looking all over for you, are you okay?" Puck asked as he took a seat near Kitty on the bench.

"Yeah I'm fine." Kitty said as she put her phone away.

"You know, I've been with a lot of girls lately and the words 'I'm fine' are usually the worst common lie a girl could say." Puck said as he handed her a drink of punch. Kitty smiled at the older Puckerman brother and took the punch within her hands. She took a small whiff of it and it smelled odd, but dismissed it.

"So I read your screenplay you know." Kitty said, breaking the silence. Puck looked up from the concrete and smiled at the younger blonde.

"Hahaa why didn't you tell me? I gave it to you three days ago" Puck chuckled.

"It took me that long to get through all of the spelling errors! Haven't you ever heard of spell check…?" Kitty giggled.

"No." Puck said in an amused yet confused voice which only made Kitty giggle harder.

"Anyway, it's actually really good."

"You really think so?" Puck asked happily.

"Yeah! The pool boy at the White House is the only one who can save the President from alien terrorists psychotic pythons, I am sold!" Kitty complimented, making Puck smile and look at the ground shyly. "You know…you have promise. I really think you can be a screen writer." Kitty finished, making Puck's smile turn into a grin.

"Why thank you." Puck says as he holds his cup up. "Cheers?"

"Cheers!" Kitty says as she takes a small sip of her punch. The punch tastes a little bit strong and smells more funky than usual.

"Hm, I don't remember the punch smelling like this back at my other schools." Kitty said as she kept holding the red punch, staring at the cup weirdly.

"Oh ha-ha yeah funny story I spiked it." Puck laughed. At first Kitty thought she misheard the Vintage Puckerman but then took a moment to comprehend his words a little.

"Wait a second…you spiked it?" Kitty asked.

"Yeah." Puck said as he took a small silver flask out of his suit jacket. "This stuff isn't too strong, but it should do the trick."

"How long ago did you do that?"

"I'd say about thirty minutes ago…" Puck answered as he noticed the horror in Kitty's eyes.

"Oh no, Marley!" Kitty said as she got up and ran inside the dance. She remembered Maria's text about her and Marley talking at the punch bowl and she just put one and one together. She entered the crowded dance and looked all over for Marley. The people dancing and the loud music really didn't make looking for the blue eyed brunette any easier.

"Marley! Marley! Where are you?" Kitty yelled over the ear pounding music. No one answered her, but just looked at Kitty like she was a crazy person. But Kitty could care less, she needed to find Marley, and she needed to find Marley soon. She wasn't sure what kind of drunk Marley was. She could be the sad drunk, the funny drunk, the crying drunk, the honest drunk, the drunk drunk, etc. Kitty was running so fast she accidently ran into a person and they both fell.

"Watch it!" Kitty said with her usual head bitch in charge tone she hadn't used in quite a while.

"KITTY! Baby! There you are!" said the other person on the ground who Kitty had accidently ran into. Oh no…. Kitty thought to herself. Please don't tell me that is who I think it is…

"Marley is that you?" Kitty said as she turned around and saw a drunk Marley on the ground, playing with her dress.

"Yes, but that doesn't matter!" Marley declared. "Kitty I was WRONGGGG! I was WRONG for believe that jerk of a Jake or that Jake of a jerk! Whatever his name is. Oh baby I'm so sorry please forgive me." Marley said as she crawled her way over to Kitty and tried to give Kitty a hug on the ground.

Oh this is just perfect, she's the over emotional clingy drunk.

This is all YOUR fault!

ME! What did I do!?

You were supposed to be keeping an eye on her!

Hey, even if we were we would have never had an idea that Puck would spike the punch!

Okay! But this is bad; we need to get her out of here before she says something she'll regret.

Agreed! Kitty's inner conciouns told her.

"Okay, Marley…you're drunk." Kitty said as she blocked Marley's drunken hug and held both of the brunettes' arms.

"Pshhh, ME? Drunk? NEVER! You know me better than that babe!" Marley said a little loudly. Kitty looked up and thanked God Almighty that the music was so loud that hardly anyone heard a word. A few people were staring at them but as soon as Kitty flashed her head bitch in charge glare everyone turned around.

"Marley, sweetie, yes you are. C'mon, get up. I need to get you home." Kitty said as she finally helped Marley get up from the dirty floor.

"BUT WHYYYYY!?" Marley swirled.

"How many cups of punch did you drink?" Kitty asked, afraid of the answer.

"Fourrrrrrrr."

"Oh God, you know what, just follow me Marley, okay." Kitty said as she gently grabbed Marley's arm.

"BUT WHYYY!?"

"Trust me."

"Okay babe, I trusts you with my lives!" Marley said in a drunken state as Kitty wrapped an arm around her and walked her out of the dance and into the parking lot. Puck was still standing on the bench and witnessed the whole thing.

"Are you kidnapping her? Should I call the cops?" Puck asked in a confused voice.

"I'm taking her home; she's drunk because you spiked the punch!" Kitty exclaimed and Marley's eyes shot up at the older Puckerman brother.

"WAITS! The PUNCH was SPIKED!?" Marley asked. Both Kitty and Puck looked at Marley and there was no disagreement that the blue eyed brunette was wasted.

"Oops, I didn't expect that to happen." Puck said as he put his hands in his pockets out of guilt.

"It's okay; here I need to take her home." Kitty said as she walked Marley over to her car and opened the door.

"AWWWS BABE! You're such a gentlewoman! I freakin' LOVE YOU!" said a drunken Marley as she plopped down on Kitty's back seat. Kitty turned to Puck, who had a big grin on his face.

"What?" Kitty asked.

"You two are so dating, aren't you?" Puck asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No."

"YES!" Marley exclaimed as she still tried to get comfy on Kitty's back seat. Kitty shook her head at her drunken Marley and glared at the Vintage Puckerman, who raised his hand up in defense.

"Hey, they were her words, not mine! And look, I won't tell anyone! Who would I tell? I'm way too busy on my screenwriting to come back to this dump of a High School, plus I got babes in L.A who want to get all up on this. So I have no time for that." Puck said. "Plus, I think you two are kind of cute together." Puck finished and Kitty smiled

"Thank you." Kitty said. Normally, Kitty would get really upset and scared about another person finding out about her and Marley, but tonight, the blonde Cheerio was way too tired to care. And Puck seemed like a nice guy, way better than Jake. So it wouldn't hurt if her knew, right?

"BABE! Why do I feel so funny?" Marley asked. Puck couldn't help but laugh.

"Wait, if you're taking her home in your car, how am I going to get home?" Puck asked. Kitty thought about it for a second, and then came up with an idea.

"Here's twenty bucks, take a bus or something. I would give you less but I don't have change." Kitty offered as she handed a twenty dollar bill over to Puck.

"Hmmm, sounds good. Maybe I'll meet some hot chick who's willing to get down with me tonight. I'm going to get some take out with the leftovers, if that's alright?"

"Yeah, sure Puck. Go ahead." Kitty giggled and Puck laughed.

"Well, I'll see you two later. Make sure she gets home okay. And I'm really sorry." Puck said.

"It's okay." Kitty replied. Puck smiled and then turned around to go back inside the dance. Kitty then looked down at Marley, who was smiling at her. "Well, I guess we could add Puck to the list of people who know about us, huh Mar?" Kitty asked.

"Ohhhh, I'm sorry babe. For everything! JAKE! Where's he? I HATE him! I'll kill him!" Marley swirled in her drunken state and Kitty laughed.

"I think you had a little too much to drink tonight." Kitty said as she looked down at Marley, who was still lying down on her back seat.

"Kitty, can I have a hug…please?" Marley said in such a cute voice that Kitty couldn't possibly refuse.

"Gosh, even when you're drunk you're cute." Kitty said as she extended her arms to give Marley a hug. As soon as Kitty extended her arms Marley grabbed Kitty by the waste and pulled her closer to her, making the blonde Cheerio fall on top of Marley.

"Hi there." Marley said as she looked into Kitty's eyes. Kitty's back seat was kind of small, but just big enough for the two of them to, well…you know.

"You did that on purpose…" Kitty smiled and Marley nodded.

"Yup." Marley said as she attempted to kiss Kitty but Kitty turned her head, letting Marley kiss her on the cheek.

"AWWW BABE! Let me kiss you!" Marley drunkenly declared over dramatically.

"No! You're way too drunk!"

"So?"

"So, I don't want to, do anything like this. I'd feel like I'd be taking advantage of you. And I don't want to do that." Kitty said as she playfully pushed Marley away from her.

"Aw, I'm sorry. I love you. I'm sorry I ever thought you'd lies to me. I'm just sooooo tired, I wanna go home. Can we go home?" Marley asked, still drunk.

"Of course." Kitty said as she got out of the car and carefully closed the door so she wouldn't hit Marley's feet.

"Well, this explains a lot." said a voice behind her. Kitty turned around to face whoever it was. She was hoping it was Puck, just playing a joke on them. But as soon as she turned around she wished it was anyone else but the person behind her. It was Jake, who had an 'I just caught you in the act' look to his face.
