Of course my plan had some flaws. The biggest one was the glee club that I had known was basically gone. Tina, Artie, Sam, Brittany, and Blaine had all graduated. Ryder was in juvie, Jake and Unique had moved away and Sugar and Joe were still nowhere to be found. So that literally left Kitty and Marley and you could not have a Glee club with only three people. On top of that, I was pretty sure that Marley had no idea who I was. At the moment, I headed to the locker room to change into my uniform which I was a little nervous about to be honest.
"Who do you think you are?" A familiar voice asked. I looked to see Kitty standing there. "You come in here without calling me the whole time since you woke up."
"I barely know I am." I admitted. Some of the photos did give me an idea but they could only do so much.
"What does that even mean?" She questioned.
"I means I don't remember anything before the accident. I don't know your number and the only reason that I only know who are is from photos from the yearbook. I shouldn't even be on this squad but Coach says I have talent apparently." I told her.
"You really don't remember anything?" She asked. I nodded in response. "Well then let's see if this jogs your memory."
That was when she kissed me. I couldn't believe it. I wanted to kiss her back but I was too surprised to do so. I kind of pushed her away.
"I'm sorry." I apologized.
"Wow, you really don't remember anything." She stated.
"Yeah, so uh…what happened between us?" I asked. I was nervous about the answer. No one had mentioned anything about me…Olivia having a girlfriend. The lines were beginning to blur there.
"It's not the easiest thing to explain." She admitted. "It happened at cheer camp. They say what happens at cheer camp, stays at cheer camp."
I was pretty sure that was supposed to be Vegas, but I didn't know anything about cheer camp. Quinn never mentioned anything about when we were dating, but one I didn't really care about it back and two I had football camp around the same time.
"I don't know if I should even talk about some of the things that we did." She remarked. Even though she wasn't specific, the way that she mentioned it turned me on a little and I was still getting used to that. I still felt weird in this body and hadn't actually touched it at all. "We should be more focused on you. I imagine you probably need help."
"Well right now I was going to put my uniform on. I don't need help with that" I said as I started to undress. "Maybe you could help me learn the routine."
"Is that it?" She asked.
"There was one other, but it's going to sound kind of strange." I declared. She looked at me with interest. "So you were in the Glee club?"
"Yeah, I was but it's gone now." She replied.
"Do you want to bring it back?" I asked.
"Since when do you care about show choir?" She inquired. Since I came back from the dead. No I couldn't say that.
"Since I saw you perform at Nationals." I explained. "I was in the area because my mom and her girlfriend took me to Disneyland and I thought you were really good."
"Most of those people are gone now." She stated. "And there's the whole thing with Sue disbanding it. Mr. Schue is gone and the only suitable replacement died this spring."
And that was the first time that I heard anyone miss me. I mean I knew I was dead, but it still felt weird hearing people talk about it. At least it wasn't anyone that I was close to. I could only imagine what they were feeling.
"You said most." I noted. "Does that mean that they're not all gone?"
"There's one other person but we haven't really talked since the Glee club ended." She remarked. I would have thought that she and Marley would have stayed close.
"Did you like the Glee club?" I asked as I finished getting dressed. I still didn't understand why the skirts needed to be so short.
"Kind of." She replied. "It felt like Mr. Schue never really gave me a chance to sing songs on my own. That's what I liked more about Finn. He didn't always focus on the same voices."
You know I had never heard anyone really compliment my teaching style before. It felt nice.
"Anyway, we should probably leave or we're going to be late." She said. This probably would have been a good time for a song, but she was right.
The thing about school was I was surprised on how many teachers I had not met before. It seemed like I didn't know any of them anymore except for Sue and Coach Bieste. Well I guess Senor Martinez was still there too. I wondered if he would be interested in sponsoring a Glee club. The first step would probably be to find Marley though. I wasn't sure why but I was kind of afraid to talk to her. She was beautiful…and tall and while I was normally very tall, right now I was the opposite. The main thing was walking the halls of McKinley High again felt so weird. No one knew who I was and I was in a still foreign body. Everything was out of my control.
Here in this crowd I'm feeling all alone
Turn me around and point me back to home
I'm getting lost more every day and I can't tear myself away
From the stars in my eyes with no light
Here are my terms: have some faith in me
And I'll let you be who you need to be
Life on the moon couldn't be any stranger
Life on the moon wouldn't feel as far away
The life that I knew is through and I'm gonna need you more than ever
I'm alone in this crowded room, it's like life on the moon
I'm getting lost in my own atmosphere
Stars in the sky, are the stars in my eyes?
It's the cost of getting out of here alive
Life on the moon couldn't be any stranger
Life on the moon wouldn't feel as far away
The life that I knew is through and I'm gonna need you more than ever
I'm alone in this crowded room
Life on the moon
Life on the moon
The life that I knew is through and I'm gonna need you more than ever
I'm alone in this crowded room, it's like life on the moon
Life on the moon
I decided to find Kitty when it was time for lunch. I didn't want to make any assumptions, but I assumed that she and Kitty weren't talking, and since everyone else was gone, Marley didn't really have any friends and thus would be sitting by herself.
"Do you see her?" I asked Kitty. I wasn't supposed to know what Marley looked like anyway.
"No, but I have an idea." Kitty responded. She then led me to the line. "Hi, Ms. Rose. Is Marley back there by any chance?"
"Why do you think she's back here?" Ms. Rose asked.
"Because everyone else is gone and I iced her out all summer." Kitty replied, seemingly with a sense of regret. "Look you don't even have to go get her right now. Just tell her that I want to talk and try to make things right."
I could tell that Kitty had changed a lot in the time that I had known her which was less than a year. She had gone from someone who tried to deliberately Marley by giving her an eating disorder to an actual friend of hers. She also seemed like someone who could learn from her mistakes.
We then headed down to the popular table. I had experience sitting there. There were a lot of football players staring at me like I was on the lunch menu. I seriously hoped that I had never been like that. Though, it wasn't the first time that I had seen the look and to be honest it felt just as bad as when Kurt was lusting over me. I'm really glad that he got over that eventually.
I decided that I needed some air. I walked down the hallway after finishing my food. The thing about Sue being principal was that my uniform was basically a hall pass. I supposed it was the only perk to having to wear it every day. I could go to my locker or the auditorium. I had heard Sue tried to demolish it, but she was not able to since the school didn't own it. They were basically just renting it from April Rhodes. So it was just locked.
As I walked down the hallway, I couldn't help but hear a little bit of a sound. I decided to walk closer and it sounded a little bit like singing. I didn't want to get too close but I managed to hear a voice, even though I couldn't see anyone. The voice sounded really nice at least.
Somebody once told me this world is gonna roll me
I aint the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of L on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart and your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see so what's your with taking the backstreets
You'll never if you don't go
You'll never shine if you gloe
Hey now you're an all star, get your game on go play
Hey now you're a rock star, get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
I didn't have time to see who she was. I needed to get back to the lunchroom and back to Kitty. I kind of reminded me of when I found Sam singing in the shower, except it really wasn't like that all but she was probably not in the shower and I couldn't see her and I at least knew who Sam was. I couldn't help but wonder what he was up to right now. I was pretty sure that he wasn't going to go to college. I headed back to the lunchroom and met up with Kitty once again. It was a little weird that I kept hanging around her, but I didn't really know anyone else.
Which brings me to the point of trying to meet other people. Maybe I could talk to some of the other girls on the squad. I could try that at practice, which I was way behind in. I actually did know a little bit about cheerleading already because in our freshman year, Quinn and I had helped each other with our respective tryouts. I was a base for her and she caught passes from me. Maybe I should try to find a base.
I was able to find one. I didn't know anything about any of the girls, but I was fairly certain that the one guy on the squad was a base. I decided to talk to him after my math class.
"Hi." I greeted him.
"Hey." He retorted.
"So I don't know if we met before but my name is Olivia." I declared. "I kind of don't know any of the routines, and I was wondering if you could help me."
"Yeah, I guess I can." He replied. "I'm Mason and we have not actually met before, but I heard about what happened to you. I can't imagine what it's like to lose all of your memories."
"So does your family know?" I asked.
"Do they know what?" He replied.
"That you're…" I started.
"I'm not gay." He told me. Unlike Kurt, he sounded very convincing when he said it.
"Oh my god." I responded with a blush. I wanted to run away in embarrassment. Talk about making a bad first impression.
"You're not the first person who thought that about me." He admitted. "Cheerleading actually is a good way to meet girls, but that's not why I do it either. It's just something that my sister and I have done together ever since we were kids."
After school was over, I went to meet Olivia's mom in the parking lot. She said that she had a surprise for me. She took me home and to my room, where the door was suspiciously closed.
"Why is my door closed?" I asked. I might as well have gone with the obvious question.
"So before the accident, you asked me repeatedly for something, but I always said no because our landlord wouldn't allow it, but things have changed since then and…" She said. I was intrigued to say the least. She then opened the door and there was a black and white cat on the bed. "…this is Max."
I didn't know what to say. I had never had a pet before. I could tell that Olivia's really wanted to do something for her and I couldn't say no. I walked over and the cat looked at me. The two of us stared at each other for a second before he meowed.
"Thank you." I told her mom. I knew I probably should try to ease into whatever relationship I would have with this cat. Of course, I wasn't sure how to have a relationship with a cat. I hoped he would like me. I supposed it was a good thing when I woke up in the morning and he was sleeping on top of me. Maybe the two of us would be friends after all.
I headed to the kitchen knowing it would probably be a good idea to feed him before I started to get ready. One of the big differences about being a girl was that I had to wake up at least a half an hour earlier to get ready. It was really annoying, but there really wasn't much that I could do about it.
The other reason I had to be up so early was that I was meeting with Mason to practice cheering. It felt pretty weird being on the other side of things.
"Wow you're really good at this." He declared. We were both sweating after the workout. I wasn't someone who said that cheerleading wasn't a sport, but I didn't expect it to be such a workout. "So I take it with everything that you've been through you wouldn't be interested in any sort of dating."
"I don't like guys." I replied. I had even tried to see if my body would react, but it didn't. I still only liked girls. "I may not remember much, but that is one thing that I know."
"Okay, that's cool." He stated. "I may not be gay, but I am 100 percent an ally."
It was then that I looked at my phone and saw that I had a text from Kitty.
"Meet me in the science lab." It read. "There's someone I want you to meet."
I headed that way, even though I probably needed to shower, I hoped that meant that she had convinced Marley to talk to her.
So we're beginning to get the makings of a glee club. Olivia won't be dating Mason, but what about her relationship with Kitty? The songs are "Life on the Moon" by David Cook and "All Star" by Smash Mouth. Please don't forget to review.
