chapter 3:
"Hannah, there's someone at the door for you" Mrs. Mclalwain called
Hannah rolled over onto her side and groped around for her light switch. she pulled herself
out of bed and quickly got dressed and ran her fingers through her wild hair.
"who could be here right now?" She thought aloud.
she walked down stairs suprised to see Cameron standing at her door.
"Uh, Hi Cameron" Hannah said awkwardly
"Hannah, I just remembered you saying how much you hated walking to school so I was
wondering if you wanted a ride?" Cameron said with a tiny glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Alright then" hannah said grabbing a granola bar and her to-go mug of chai latte.
"Bye Mom" hannah yelled as she followed Cameron out to his red pickup truck.
As they got in the car Cameron turned on the radio and a familiar song came up.
"You like paramore?" Cameron questioned
Hannah nodded and they both sang along to you are the only exception occasionally glancing
at the other secretly with longing eyes.
After Cameron turned into the parking lot, Mckinleigh rushed over and said a huge fight was
going on over in the soccer field. They all ran to see Matheus cornered by 3 football players
holding ice cold slushies. Damian ran to get coach Beiste, while the others watched with
shocked eyes.
Ellis knew she had to do something. Matheus had brave intentions but this thought pounding
in the back of her head was too much to take. Right before the slushies were fired Ellis
stepped in front of Matheus and got covered in blue cold liquid. The corn syrup burned into
her right eye, and before she knew it she fell to the ground and blacked out.
"Ellis! Oh My God Ellis, wake up" she heard Cameron's voice faintly away. It sounded as if he
was holding back a sob. she slightly opened her eyes but it hurt so she stood up.
"Can someone get me a cup please?" she asked weakly.
They all gave each other strange looks but gave her a cup. She took the cup and squeezed
out her hair and he clothes into the cup and handed it back to Coach Beiste.
"Ellis, you go down to the gym and get cleaned up and I'll call your mom to get you some new
clothes. "
"I'll help" Mckinleigh volunteered and she led Ellis down 2 flights of stairs to the bottom floor.
Look at this stuff
isn't it neat, wouldn't ya think my collections complete?
wouldn't ya think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything?
look at this trove treasures untold, how many wonders can one cavern hold
lookin' around here you'd think, Sure she's got everything.
Ellis's song was cut short by Cameron coming down with her clothes
"Ell? you down here, I have your clothes."
"Just set them on the bench Cameron" Ellis called, the warm hot mist pushing all the slushies
out of her hair.
"Okay, Hope I get to see you at lunch" He said from up the stairway.
Ellis finished her song then turned off the nozzles and grabbed a towel she dried her hair then
got dressed. she made it up the stirs just as the bell for 3rd hour rang. Ellis rushed to her
locker and fumbled around for the note she received from coach Beiste. She put her hair in a
fast ponytail and ran to independent study. She sat down next to Matheus and immediately
was greeted by his voice.
"That was amazing Ellis, why would you do that for me?"'
"Yesterday you were talking about dealing with it, but no one can deal with it alone, you
needed help, And don't protest cause I know."
"I wasn't going to. Thank you" Matheus said reaching out his hand. Ellis grasped it and they
sat like that until class was over. AT lunch everyone kind of had created a new perspective for
each other. Everyone sat at the same table feeling a little bit different. No one talked much
they just thought. Marissa however was daydreaming.
Marissa, I love you. Will you marry me?
Marissa played this scene over and over in her head staring dreamily out the window.
Everyone slowly began to notice she was muttering something under her breath. Lindsay l
listened close then shook Marissa to get her back to reality. Lindsay then reached into her
pocket and sent a quick text under the table to Marissa. Marissa grabbed her sidekick and
read the text
Be Careful! you were muttering I love you too Samuel in your little dream state :o
she quickly answered back and almost screamed. WHAT? oh no, oh gosh.
ahhhhhhh!
"Sooooooo" Damian said trying to awkwardly start a conversation and failing.
"oops there's the bell" Samuel said rushing to get to class. He ran and stopped by his locker
realizing what he heard Marissa say. Marissa loved him? NO, He must be hearing things
because it's definitely the other way around. at 5th hour the whole gang entered the choir
room and sat down in different cliques around the room. they all waited, chatting away until
Mr. Schuester entered the room.
"Good Afternoon guys, and Welcome to choir class. We are gonna start off the year with
duets. You will pick someone's name from the hat and sing a duet expressing how you both
feel about anything you choose." Mr. Schue said in miraculously one breath.
''I'll go first" said Hannah. she rustled her hands around in the hat then pulled out a green
sticky note. "Damian" she read. they shared a glance then hannah sat back down. Cameron
went up next "Lindsay" Cameron read off an old playbill
"Samuel" called Ellis
"Marissa" said Emily
"Mckinleigh" said Bryce with a wink, to which Miki rolled her eyes
"Alex?" Matheus questioned. they all turned around to see a large boy sitting alone in the
corner of the room. Despite his flashy outfit and loud prescience not one of them had noticed
him as they entered the room. Alex waved at them shyly like Ms. America and said "That's me"
in a higher voice than they expected. Ellis's gaydar went full blast and she knwe right away.
"Okay guys you have one week to get your duets ready, and for the rest of the hour pick out
songs, go!" Mr. Sche said and they all met up and got to work.
