Puck and I were sitting in the hall at 10:10 when Chris, Mandy and Ashley walked came an djo and joined us, sitting in front of us.
"Hey," he said.
"Hi," I greeted them.
"Hi," Chris and Mandy said.
"Hey," Ashley said.
"I like your nails," I told Mandy.
"Thank you. Chris did them," she said.
Chris looked at me: "want me to do- oh."
Then down at my already painted electric blue nails: "nevermind."
Serena, Cory, Dianna, Adam, Mike and Rachel joined us. Cory, Rachel and Mike were laughing.
Serena sat next to Puck, making a circle. The seating arrangement was Serena, Dianna, Adam, Cory, Mike, Rachel, Puck, me, Chris, Mandy and Ashley.
"What?" Puck asked Cory.
We had no idea what they they found so au funny.
"He," Rachel managed, "he...complimented..."
I peered at her: "you alrite?"
"How much have you had to drink?" Chris asked.
"He who?" Mandy asked.
"Me," Corysaid.
"Oh."
"...the ceiling," Mike finished.
Puck and I looked at each other, confused.
"What?" he asked.
"What?" I repeated.
"Apparently, Cory complimented the ceiling," Chris stated, then burst into laughter himself.
"Omygod," I said, and then cracked up with Puck following.
"Well what was he trying to do?" Mandy asked.
"He was trying to compliment me," Mike answered.
"And it spins," Rachel said, twirling her finger.
Ashley looked at her: "ok, clearly, yall have had a lot to drink."
"You noticed?" Serena stated.
"Well yeah I mean its kinda hard to miss."
"Right so it is."
"Hey ya know what we could do?" Dianna asked.
Adam looked at her: "no not yet. What?"
"We could get the tables for the show tonight, you know, out of the classrooms. And bring them into the uh. the thing. The big, room with the all all the doors."
She spread her arms wide, hands turned towards each other, fingers together.
"Auditorium?" I supplied.
She looked at me: "yeah that. Thanks."
"Uh huh."
"Yeah and bring them there so Mr. Schue won't have to do it later."
"Ok."
"But aren't they locked?" Mandy asked.
"Oh that won't be a problem," Puck said.
"It won't?"
"No I know how to pick locks."
"Oh ok."
"Somehow that doesn't surprise me," Ashley said.
He looked at her: "it shouldn't."
"Alrite let's go," Rachel said, standing: "whoa."
She held out her hands to steady herself.
Cory looked up at her: "you alrite?"
"I um. wow."
She leaned against the wall.
"Ok I'll stay here with Rachel, we'll get the doors to stay open," Ashley said, standing.
"Ok I'm gonna need a hairpin," Puck said, looking around.
"Here."
I took one out of my hair and gave it to him.
"Thank you," he said.
"Mmmhmm."
We stood and walked down the hall.
