A Second Chance Chapter 4, a glee fanfic

I headed to the science lab, which also seemed like a place that I hadn't ever been to that. I wasn't sure why but the school seemed like a place that only had a few different teachers. It was almost like it was a TV show and they really ever had the important teachers show up, even though I knew that that was not the case here. I didn't know why I was so scared of meeting Marley especially since Marley was probably the least scary person that I had ever met. Though, it was true that I had never seen her angry before.

"I'm here." I declared as I walked into the room, where I saw not only Kitty, but also Marley. She looked just as pretty as ever. I was pretty sure that part of the reason that I never thought of Marley as pretty before was because she was my student, even though I was never officially employed by the school. I was also several years older than her, and even though that technically wasn't true right now, it still felt a little weird to be staring at her the way I was. I decided to look away.

"So why did we need to wait for her to get here before we could talk?" Marley asked. It made me feel even more nervous. Even though the two of us were meeting for the first time, it seemed like…why am I being so emotional? Was this part of being a girl or was it something else?

"Because this was her idea." Kitty explained. "Believe it or not, I do have friends that weren't in the Glee club with us."

I didn't know why something like that would be hard to believe, but most of my friends had been in the club as well. I then figured that it might be best to introduce myself to her.

"Hi I'm…Olivia." I stated. I had no idea how long it would take me to get used to that name, if I ever would. I then realized that I should probably say the rest of it. "I want to bring back the Glee club."

"Why?" Marley asked. "You weren't interested in it before."

"I wasn't here before," I pointed out. "I was in an accident last year and I woke up without my memory. I don't know if I would have felt the same before, but one thing that I found out since waking up is that I like to sing. When you were in Anaheim, I saw you performing and you were good."

"Even if Sue would let us have a glee club, all of those people are gone now." Marley pointed out. "We would not even be able to compete unless we could find nine more people."

"There's a zero percent chance that the three of us are the only people here at the school who like to sing." I stated. Well, I supposed that there was a chance, but it was probably very unlikely. "We'll have to find them: the people that may be afraid to speak up, the people that have been told that their dreams are stupid."

As corny as it was, I never would have known how much I loved music if not for Mr. Schue. However, upon reflection, he probably should have been fired for how he got me to join the Glee club.

"I don't really have a lot of friends." Marley remarked. I then noticed her looking at me and then at Kitty. "Wait, is this the girl from cheer camp that you told me about?"

"What did you tell her about me?" I asked.

"I told her that we had sex." Kitty replied. At that point, I blushed. So what I thought had been true. "I was before Marley and I…"

I didn't know but I felt jealous. Kitty wasn't my girlfriend, so it didn't make sense to me.

"We didn't do anything." Marley stated. I felt relieved, which also made me feel weird. "I couldn't do it. Now I know why."

"Because you're straight?" I guessed.

"No. It was because Kitty wasn't the one for me." She answered. "Or more so, I was not the one for her."

As much as it confused me, I was pretty sure that I needed to go on a date with Kitty. It would still be awkward. It was like my body wanted her, even though I felt that it was wrong.

"We should probably get to class." I remarked.

"Yeah that seems like a good idea." Kitty agreed. I couldn't help but wonder if she was just as nervous about this as I was. I started to walk to class.

I hung up the phone tonight, something happened for the first time
Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility that you could ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we could be, where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch your breath when I look at you
Are you holding back like the way you do
Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I this crush aint going away, going away

Why do I keep running from the truth (Why do I keep running)
All I ever think about is you (All I ever think about)
You got me hypnotized (hypnotized) so mesmerized (mesmerized)
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think (ever think) when you're all alone (all alone)
Where this thing could go (go)
Am I crazy or falling in love (crazy)
Is it real or just another crush (another crush)
Do you catch your breath when I look at you
Are you holding back like the way you do
Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush aint going away
I know this crush aint going away going away

I knew that I would have to do things to bring back to the Glee club. We probably weren't going to be able to hold auditions. I couldn't walk away like I did from that person the other day. If I heard someone singing, I would have to find them and I would have to talk to them, but that still sounded easier said than done.

After school, while I waited for practice to start, I was walking around when I heard something coming from the gym. I saw a guy shooting some baskets and more importantly, he was singing while doing it.

Like the legend of the phoenix all ends with beginnings
What keeps the planet spinning, the force from the beginning
Look

We've come too far to give up who we are
So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars

He's up all night to the sun
I'm up al night to get some
We're up all night to have fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to the sun
We're up all night to get some
We're up all night to have fun
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky

We've come too far to give up who we are
So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars

I knew I needed to talk to him. He was so much taller than me. I couldn't help but wonder if it was how Rachel felt looking up at me.

"Hi." I stated as I got his attention. "I heard you singing."

"What?" He replied.

"My name is Olivia, what's yours?" I declared.

"Jordan." He said. "I don't really sing though."

"Look, I know you probably don't want to get involved in anything other than basketball, but in case you do, my friends and I are trying to bring back the Glee club." I explained.

"You're right. I don't want to get involved." He declared.

"Well you know where to find me if you change your mind." I remarked. I supposed that was a good thing about being a Cheerio.

Practice was nothing special because I really wasn't doing a lot since I still didn't know the routines. One thing that I did notice was Mason's sister Madison. They seemed to be very close. The two of them found me when we were done.

"
"Hey, Olivia do you want to practice with us some more so you can learn the routines?" Mason asked.

"I can't." I answered. "I need to get home."

Olivia's mother liked to have family dinner and I got it. It wasn't a big thing in a lot of the country and honestly just having the support of a family, even if it wasn't my own, felt good. I still wanted to talk to my own family, but I didn't know how to do that, or if it would even make things better. I didn't want things to become weird.

At dinner, which did contain some meat, I was sitting and looking through my phone to see if I got any texts from Kitty. I didn't even know what to look for.

"Can you please put your phone up?" Olivia's mom asked me.

"Sorry." I declared as I turned it off and put it down.

"You look like you were waiting to get a response from someone." Kelsey commented.

"I guess I am." I admitted. "So I think you might have misunderstood me. I'm not saying that I don't love Max, because I do, but I think what I was actually saying was that 'I want Kitty.', meaning my friend."

At that point, Max came over to me, meowing for food. I would have to get used to feeding him regularly.

"I see." She replied. "Have you told her that?"

"No." I admitted before realizing that I would need help. "So if I wanted to go and talk to her, would you take me there? We won't stay out very late."

The thing was Olivia hadn't gotten her drivers' license and the DMV said that I would need to retake Driver's Ed in order to get it. It probably was a good idea because in my attempts so far, driving as a short female was very different from driving as a tall male. At least my feet still could reach the pedals.

"I can do it." Kelsey volunteered.

So I changed my clothes and asked Kitty to meet me at the Shake Shop. It was more of a ice cream place than just shakes, but I assumed it was called that because of alliteration. I was also starting to learn more about fashion than I ever did before. I was currently wearing a black dress with lace sleeves and black heels.

"Sure." Kitty responded. I had the idea that maybe I should use lipstick since it was kind of going to be a date, even though I still wasn't good with makeup.

So Kelsey took me to the shake shop. I said that I would call if I needed a ride. I saw Kitty was in a white dress. I was staring at her. She looked so hot.

"I was wondering when you were going to ask me out." She said. "I thought it would be weird if I did."

"Why?" I asked her.

"Because I knew with your memory all fucked up that your life is kind of fucked up right now as well." She explained.

We went and ordered our shakes. I found that they had blueberry ones. Kitty just went and got a standard chocolate one.

"So I know this is supposed to be a date, but do you know anyone else who we could talk to about the glee club?" I asked. "Oh you look really pretty."

"Thanks, you do too." She said. "And I don't really know."

"Well I heard this guy playing basketball singing and he was really good. He said that he wasn't interested, but I'm pretty sure that he will be." I said. It was an advantage of being around the Glee club for four years. Everyone that said that they wouldn't join did. Well I guess Karofsky didn't, but I kind of felt that he would have if he didn't change schools. I hoped that he was doing okay. I hadn't really checked up on him after his attempt.

We sat and talked for a little while. I wasn't even sure what we were talking about, but we found a way to keep conversing. I had done that some with both Quinn and Rachel before. Sometimes you didn't even care what you talked about as long as you were talking to someone that you liked. The one thing that did stand out was The Vampire Diaries. It was a show that I hadn't watched before, but I kind of got into it and watched it a lot on Netflix to catch up with it. I was kind of addictive.

I looked around the restaurant and that was when I noticed Marley was there and there was another girl wearing a leather jacket and leather shorts.

"Marley?" I asked. The girls also had shakes.

"It's Olivia, right?" She replied. I nodded. "This is my girlfriend, Crystal."

"Wait, you have a girlfriend?" Kitty asked. "How did I not know about this?"

"Because we've been keeping it quiet." Crystal stated. At that point, a certain song started playing and we all started to sing along. I couldn't even help it. One Direction was really good at making music even if I didn't find any of them to be attractive. Though I do think that the fact that this particular song sounded a lot like "Baba O'Riley" helped.

Maybe it's the way she walked
Straight into my heart and stole it
Through the door and passed the guards
Just like she already owned it

I said "Can you give back to me?"
She said "Never in your wildest dreams"

And we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line now I can't remember
How it goes but I know that I won't forget her
Cause we danced all night to the best song ever
I think it went "oh, oh, oh
I think it went "yeah, yeah, yeah"
I think it goes

You know, I know, you know I'll remember you
And I know you know I know you'll remember me
And you know I know you know I'll remember you
And I know you know I hope you remember how we danced
How we danced 1,2,3,4

How we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line now I can't remember
How it goes but I know that I won't forget her
Cause we danced all night to the best song ever
And we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line now I can't remember
How it goes but I know that I won't forget her
Cause we danced all night to the best song ever
I think it went "oh, oh, oh
I think it went "yeah, yeah, yeah"
I think it goes

Best song ever
It was the best song ever

Now I had confirmation. Crystal was the girl that I had heard singing the other day. I hoped that Marley would talk to her about joining our Glee club.

Kitty ended up taking me home. We sat outside in her car and I didn't even know I should kiss her on the first date or what. The fact that we were both girls didn't even seem to bother me. Maybe it had to do more with the fact that both of the girls I had dated didn't really like to kiss on the first date.

"I had a really fun time." I told her.

"I did too." She said. "I still think it might be best to take things slow. You're still figuring things out and I don't wanna mess this up cause we rushed it."

"Okay." I replied. "I'll see you at school tomorrow."

I got out of the car and headed into the house. I still had a smile on my face even though we hadn't even kissed.

The next morning, after my work with Mason, I knew that I needed to get to work. We wouldn't be able to have a Glee club if we didn't have a faculty sponsor. Mr. Schue had still been the teacher while I was in charge. There was only person that we could talk to about it.

"Senor Martinez." I said as I knocked on his door.

"Hola, Olivia." He replied. "How can I help you?"

"I was wondering if you could do something for me." I stated.

So there's a couple of new characters in this chapter. First there's Crystal played by Mary Mouser and then there's Jordan played by Victor Oladipo. The songs are "Crush" by David Archuleta, "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk featuring Pharrell and Nile Rogers and "Best Song Ever" by One Direction. Please don't forget to review.
