-Chapter 44-Wanna show them how to duet?-
-Rachel pov-
These kids are definitely entertaining. The new New Dir...unnamed group are fantastic. They really need to come up with the new name though. I believe trouble tones was thrown around a few times.
I have also noticed mini me and mini Lucy being awkward. Mini me has definitely experienced a few slushy showers. Leave it up to Sue to not realize what bringing them back would do. Since we have no strong proof we are stuck with them.
But let me focus back on the duo again. They seem to be avoiding eye contact. If they do look they quickly avert their eyes. It is almost like they are...ohhhh!
"You look like you just had a epiphany" I glare at Lucy as she sits beside me "What is up?"
"Mini us are secretly in love" Lucy's eyes go wide and I nod "That is my exact reaction!"
"What reaction?" Mom walks over with Santana "The mini you two? I noticed yesterday"
"They will not come out alone" Santana looks between me and Lucy with a smirk "Why not have you two help them?"
"Help them?" Santana nods still smirking "How?"
The smirk turns sinister "Let Snixx help you" Oh god this will go wrong "I have my plans"
-Time skip-Marley pov-
I have my little corner and it is my corner. I am fine in my corner alone. No one can hurt me in my little corner. Dang it, I looked at Kitty again!
I am in my little corn-
"Hey!" I look up at Rachel who has a wide smile "Mind if I sit next to the best voice in the group?"
"Blaine?" Rachel chuckles and sits beside me "Oh! Y-you meant me!"
"Of course!" She light nudges my shoulder "You doing ok? You seem like you are about to freak out"
"I am fine" I look over and see Lucy with Kitty talking "Been better for sure"
"You have your eyes on a certain blonde huh?" I feel my face heat up and turn toward Rachel worried "I will not tell! I would never out you if you did not want to be!"
"It does not really matter" I sigh and look at the ground "My mom is the fat lunch lady...I already am a loser! What more can being outed to the club do to me? Get me slushied more?"
Rachel slowly raises my face "How about you come out with someone?" I morph my face into confusion "Just sing this song ok? If you want to back out then you can"
"W-will you sing too?" Rachel nods with a smile "Alright...I can do this! Can we call my mom down?"
"Of course" Rachel pulls me into a hug "I am so proud of you"
Rachel let's go and runs over to Shelby. I smile at the mother and daughter bond they have. I turn and see Lucy talking with some of the glee club now. What is going on?
-Time skip-
"Alright!" Shelby claps and smiles at us "Time for a special performance! After that we will do our duet tryouts! But first...our solo goes to...BLAINE ANDERSON!"
We all clap as he stands then bows. Rachel and Lucy slowly make their way to the front. They sit on two stools and smile at each other. Soon music starts to play.
-Lucy-Rachel-Both-
I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty, too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you?
Look into the mirror, who's inside there?
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today, hey
My outsides are cool, my insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through, it's because of you
I've tried different ways, but it's all the same
At the end of the day I have myself to blame
I'm just tripping
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so (Aahh)
You can buy all the makeup that M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to (Aah)
Be in a position to make me feel so
Damn unpretty
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
I smile and look over at Kitty. She really is so pretty to me. I know she thinks she's is too fat but she is not. She is so beautiful the way she is.
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm being stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
(To keep you happy?)
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me, hey
My outsides look cool, my insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through, it's because of you
I've tried different ways, but it's all the same
At the end of the day, I have myself to blame
Keep on tripping
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so (Aahh)
You can buy all the makeup that M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to (Aahh)
Be in a position to make me feel so
Damn unpretty
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me
I want to be those two right now!
Tonight (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Tonight (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Tonight (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Tonight (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
I feel pretty (You can buy your hair if it won't grow)
Oh, so pretty (You can fix your nose if he says so)
I feel pretty and witty and bright (You can buy all the make up that M.A.C. can make, but if)
You can't look inside you
Find out who am I to (Aahh)
Be in a position to make me feel so
Damn unpretty
I feel pretty
(But unpretty)
We all clap as they stand up and share a hug. We see the tears as the walk away from the stools. I guess she filled her part of the bargain. I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn toward my mom.
"You got this honey" She smiles brightly "You are a star! You always make me proud no matter what you do...you are my reason for going on! I love you sweetie"
"I love you mom" I give her a big hug "So much"
I start to get up and see kitty stand too. I take a deep breath and steel myself. I have this in the bag. I am Marley Rose!
I walk to the front remembering my parts. I notice the stools are gone and change the paths in my head. I know how some of the choreography goes from rent. We can use the piano as the pool table I guess.
"You got this?" I look at Kitty and nod "Alright...let's do this"
-Kitty-Marley-Both-
Every single day,
I walk down the street
I hear people say "Baby," so sweet
Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls, I can't help it baby
So be kind, and don't lose your mind
Just remember that I'm your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby, or leave me
Take me baby or leave me
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage baby, let's have fun!
You are the one I choose
Folks would kill to fill your shoes
You love the lime light too now, baby
So be mine and don't waste my time
Cryin' "Oh honey bear are you still my, my, my baby?"
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby, or leave me
No way, can I be what I'm not
But hey, don't you want your girl hot?
Oh, don't fight, don't loose your head
'Cause every night who's in your bed?
Who?
Who's in your bed?
Kiss, Pookie.
It won't work
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make list in my sleep baby
What's my sin?
Never quit
I follow through
I hate mess but I love you
What do with my impromptu baby?
So be wise, 'cause this girl satisfies
You've got a prize so don't compromise
You're one lucky baby
Take me for what I am
A control freak.
Who I was meant to be
A snob, yet overattentive
And if you give a damn
A lovable troll geek
Take me baby, or leave me
An anal retentive!
That's it!
The straw that breaks my back
I quit!
Unless you take it back
Women! What is it about them?
Can't live with them or without them!
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
And if you give a damn you better
Take me baby, or leave me
Oh, take me baby! Take me or lea-yea-yeave me
Take me babay-ay-ay! Or leave me
Guess I'm leaving. I'm gone!
"I am a lesbian and I am proud" I look Kitty straight in the eyes "If you all can not accept that...then I am sorry! But I am proud of who I am...I am Marley Rose! I am the daughter of Millie Rose! She is more than what you all think! She is a loving, caring, and kind woman! She gives up so much just so I can have my clothes! She puts up with you all so she can have just some money! Yeah I like you...but I refuse to listen to you put me down and try to bury me anymore! So you can take me as I am or leave me"
I do not wait for a response and make my way toward my chair. I can not look at her right now. If I do I just might vomit. That was way too much, way too quick.
"I am so proud of you" Mom pulls me into her "You are so amazing baby girl! I love you"
"That was great" Shelby steps to the front "Any other tryouts?"
"Honestly we were asked not to but" Sam smiles and looks at me then away "I think we could win with that duet right there! They sound amazing together!"
"Everyone agree?" There are hands up all over "There it is! I will let you all get together and we will do group tryouts next week! Meeting dismissed!"
I get up with my mom and ignore the eyes I feel on me. She will need her time. I have to thank Rachel later. She definitely helped me come out of my shell some today.
-Rachel pov-
"Uh hey" I turn and see a nervous Kitty standing in front of us "Do..do you think that maybe..maybe you could help with some vocal lessons? I...I wanna be good for her"
"The first step" Lucy stands up and wraps her arms around Kitty "You are going to make such adorable babies with Marley!"
"One step at a time" Snixx smirks and stands up "First is the vocal lessons"
I nod and let out a relieved sigh. This could have gone very badly. Thankfully all is well for now. Tomorrow could be something else. We have a week till the next meeting.
I have a lot of work to get done in a week.
