We're not going to talk about my absence. We're not even going to mention it. If you do, you're blacklisted.
BLACKLISTED I TELL YOU!
So I have puppy…. A pretty puppy. If you want to see a pic, he's my new profile picture. My pretty puppy's name is Ryder. I love my pretty puppy. Lots.
As most of you know, I am Canadian. I was in the states for a tournament awhile ago, and was asked if I was from CAN-AYE-DE-UH. Yes. It is pronounced CAN-A-DUH, not CAN-AYE-DE-UH. Had to get that out of my system, I was a little embarressed for that person.
Sabrina has just come back to her father's house… I'm pulling a Michael Buckley. To Be Continued….. And jump up three months. Except this time, it's like 12 hours.
Note: MUSICAL NUMBER INSPIRED BY GLEE.
HELLO (Fitting, with my absence, isn't it? Oops, BLACKLITSED MYSELF!). Complete music to the song will be posted after the chapter is finished, fo those of you that like the song, want to sing along, or look for the song.
Disclaimer: IDO The Sisters Grimm or Glee….. But I really want both. Oh, and none of the songs mentioned. Though they're all fantastic.
SPOV
"Glee. Club." I said slowly. The words were foreign, discreet.
Nerdy.
"Yes! I thought it would be fun!" Henry exclaimed. I was in NYC for the moment; realizing staying in Ferryport Landing would only anger Henry more.
"Glee. Club." I said again.
Glee Club. GLEEEEEEE Clu-ub. Glee Club.
"I'm not four."
"It's an age appropriate campaign." He retorted. "I believe the youngest is fourteen."
Sorsha brushed up against my leg. I absentmindedly petted her. Fourteen. Two years older than Daphne leaving me with a two year difference. Fourteen. Glee Club. Me. I looked up at Henry. "Why?"
"You need something to do this summer. And pining for that Faerie is not an acceptable activity." He told me.
"I don't pine for Puck. I pine for my mother and Charlie. I pine for my brother and sister. Puck's just a happily accepted addition."
"Uh-huh. Well, auditions are Friday, and tomorrow afternoon is a rehearsal so you can talk to choreographers about how you're dancing to the music. What will you sing?"
Damn it. I knew I couldn't get out of this one. Too many people would pull Wicked's 'Defying Gravity' and 'Over the Rainbow' from the Wizard of Oz. Singing something too popular wasn't really traditional… Which left me back to show tunes. Everyone would do show tunes.
"Something original. I should start trying to make myself a reputation here." I mumbled. Being the girl with a gun strapped to her hip was already out… Henry was stubborn. This left me to be the cute, pretty, talented, popular girl. I grimaced. I hated those girls. Stuck up-
"Find someone to do a duet with." Henry suggested. I snorted.
"Like who?"
"Just give one of the boys your sheet music, and ask them to help you."
It wasn't the perfect plan, but it was the only plan I had. So now I needed a song. Summer Nights, You're The One That I Want…… (An: Yes, I have all these songs on my iPod…) Hello Goodbye…
Hello.
Goodbye.
Not exactly a duet, but I could fix that.
"Hi there!" I said to the boy on my right. He turned around. 6"2, dark hair, grey-green eyes, tanned. He eyed me carefully. I shrugged and held out my hand. "'Sabrina. "
"I know. You're rather famous." He said staring at my hand. I rolled my eyes.
"What? Germaphobe? Prejudice? Scared? It's a hand, shake it." I ordered. He looked me over again, then hesitantly took my hand and shook it.
"Nick."
I sighed. "Good, now we know each other. So please help me."
I heard a laugh from behind me. "With what? Robbing a bank? Huh, Ever?" The name came out disgusted, like I wasn't worth a decent name. I looked to my left and right. People had crowded around. I felt something tap on my back. I turned around to face the boy who I assumed made the last comment. He pushed me to the ground.
"You don't belong here, Half-breed. Why don't you just-"
"Leave her alone, Kevin." Nick said loudly, coming around and grabbing my hand to pull me off the floor. I happily grabbed it and pulled myself up, throwing the Kevin boy a dirty look. Nick led me away from the group, then turned. "What is it that you needed help with?" He whispered into my ear.
"A song. I need a partner." I replied. Silent for a minute, his breathing was all I could hear.
"You're lucky you came to me first. I'm probably the only person here who won't tear your too pieces. What song do you want to do, Guardian?"
I took a sharp intake of breath. The formality had never been used to address myself before. I stared at him in awe for a moment. He noticed and stopped moving.
"Why are you gawking?" He asked. I shook myself.
"No reason. Here's my sheet music."
I handed him the music. He laughed. "Hello Goodbye? Interesting song choice. I figured a girl like you would try that high F in 'Defying Gravity'." He paused. "This isn't a duet."
"No, but Glee changed the playing field up a bit, didn't they?" Saying it out loud made me realize that ideas are a lot less stupid inside you head. Nick smirked.
"Okay then, how do you want to do this?"
And with that, we started choreography.
"Nick L. & Sabrina G." The Club runners called.
We walked up the stage. After we were in position, the lights went up.
"You say yes," Step around Nick.
"I say no," Skip to the end of the stage.
"You say stop," Stop.
"I say go-go-go!" Turn, run.
"Oh no!" Jump.
"You say Goodbye, and I say Hello. Hello- Hello! I don't why you say Goodbye, I say Hello." Link arms and spin.
"Well, that was a new experience." I murmured, trying to keep things light between Nick and I. I was pretty sure he only helped me to show up Kevin, but he seemed nice enough. We could be friends.
We were backstage, Nick currently trying to hook-up lighting cables. He walked over to the switch board on his left and fumbled with a few things. A couple sparks flew, but he remained unfazed.
He called me Guardian, he had a dark complexion, wouldn't touch me without my permission (Also the sign of a gentleman, of course…), and he had a knack with electrical appliances?
"You're an Atlantean." I said. Nick jumped a few steps back and turned to look at me, shocked.
"Excuse me?" He asked. I kept a straight face, repeating my statement.
"Guardians are pretty much the Gods and or Demi-Gods of Atlantis. Your lost Empire is my kingdom. That's why you wouldn't touch me. That's why Kevin is stand-off-ish around you. That's why you call me with the formality." I accused. "And don't you dare lie to me."
Nick stared for a few more minutes. "I'm a quarter Atlantean on my Dad's side. It's nothing special. I'm not 'cool'," He used air quotes, "Like you and your Faerie. I can't 'do' anything interesting. I can't see Truth from Lies, I can't sing like an Angel, and I certainly can't fly."
I laughed. "Oh it's quite clear your only a quarter Atlantean. You aren't narcissistic enough." I smirked.
Nick pulled a smile, staring at the ground. "Yeah, I guess you're right." A few moments passed, and he let out a sigh. Turning his head back to me, he spoke with sincerity. "Don't let the kids here get to you. They're all prejudiced, racist, animals."
"I got that."
"Good." He smiled at me again. A honk from outside made him turn. He whipped his head back and picked his stuff up.
"Well, it was great doing this with you, Sabrina Grimm. Best of luck, I hope we work together again in the future, but that's my Mom. Meaning I have to leave."
I smiled back. "See you around, Nick."
"Yeah, oh, and Sabrina? One more thing."
"Yes?"
"Hello."
Fantastic song. Here are the lyrics, I suggest buying it from iTunes or your preffered music provider. Lea Michelle and Corey Monteith did an AMAZING cover (Canadian Boys generally do.)
You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
I say high, you say low
You say why, and I say I don't know
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Why, why, why, why, why, why
Do you say good bye
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
Hello
Hela, heba helloa
Hela, heba helloa
