Be Your Teenage Dream, a Damsay Story
Summary: Our beloved members of New Directions have graduated and gone on to college but thanks to their love for glee club, have decided to help Mr. Schuester with the new kids. Enter the cast of the Glee project, all with a unique voice but can all be compared to the original gleeks. When Lindsay, a mini Rachel and Quinn, joins with her spectacular voice and newfound head Cheerio status joins her old friend Damian suddenly realizes his feelings for her. Will they be the power couple of McKinley High? And what happens when Quinn realizes she still has feelings for an old flame of her own?
Previously:
Samuel realized he was in love with somebody else and enlisted Lindsay to help get Cameron and Marissa back together. Cameron admitted that Marissa was the one for him and with some convincing from Damian and Lindsay sang a song for her in front of the whole school. Marissa eagerly took him back and now Camissa is back together-yay! Marissa is dealing with her anorexia with the help of Quinn Fabray, who's having some troubles of her own. Lindsay and Damian continue to grow closer and closer and are really happy with each other. Rachel decided that New York could wait and came back to Lima with the other 11 to help Mr. Schue with the new glee club. Finn and Rachel kissed and there could be some Finchel love in the air. The glee club sang Firework at the school assembly and totally killed it. Marissa, Lindsay, Cameron, and Damian found out that McKynleigh and Samuel are secretly dating-jaw dropping!
Chapter Five
"What's the matter, Mars?" Cameron asked her concernedly.
"I just saw Samuel kissing McKynleigh!" Marissa squealed happily. Lindsay's jaw dropped and she gasped.
"She's the girl he's in love with! She's the reason he wanted to get you and Cameron back together!"
Samuel tried not to break under the pressure of the not so discreet stares his fellow glee club members were giving him. They kept glancing at him and McKynleigh and he began to slightly panic-did they know? He shot a nervous glance at McKynleigh who looked right back at him with the same look. They quickly looked away when everybody turned to see who we was looking at. They sighed in relief when Mr. Schuester walked in with an excited smile on his face.
"Guys, for this week's assignment I have one word-Theatricality."
The girls (and Alex) erupted in squeals of joy and excitement while the boys groaned. They knew if they dressed in costumes and guy liner that they'd be tormented even more. The popular ones were safe, but the unpopular? Not so much.
"C'mon boys this'll be fun!" Mr. Schuester encouraged.
"Maybe for the girls it is, but we'll get ridiculed if we walk around wearing eyeliner and Lady Gaga outfits." Bryce said.
"Yeah Mr. Schue, I already get tormented enough. I don't need to do something that's actually going to give them a reason." Cameron grumbled. Marissa rubbed his arm reassuringly and smiled sadly.
Mr. Schuester nodded in agreement and gave them a smile. "I know exactly what we can do. Instead of going Gaga, how about this year for Theatricality we go a little rock and roll?"
All 12 smiled and nodded in agreement, but the boys sighed in relief now knowing that they wouldn't have to dress in champagne bubbles or shower curtains.
Rachel looked up from her spot on the porch and put down her book when she saw the headlights from Finn's truck. She stood up and smoothed down the front of her dressed, slipped on her heels, and walked down the steps.
"Hey." She said with a smile. "What are you doing here?"
"I thought we could talk-about us." He said, stepping closer to her. She gulped and her hands trembled at the proximity.
"Uh, sure that's fine. My dads aren't home so we can go up to my room." She said, smiling nervously. She was nervous? Rachel Berry was never afraid of anything in her life, but for some reason he was the one person that terrified her.
"Rach, we're not in high school anymore. I don't think they'd mind." Finn chuckled. She rolled her eyes and grinned, pushing his shoulder and leading him upstairs.
Once in her room she plopped down on the bed and crossed her legs, not noticing Finn's eyes raking over her body. He thought she was beautiful in high school, but over the summer it was like she had turned into a woman overnight. She had curves to die for and beautiful tan skin and she actually had boobs. But if she was still a prude like she was in high school she would never let him touch them.
"So, what's up?" Rachel asked, breaking him out of his daydream.
"I…I really love you, Rachel. But I want you to be happy. And if New York is what makes you happy then I don't want to be the one stopping you." He said softly.
"Finn, nobody's stopping me from anything. It was my decision to come back. I realized when I got there that if New York is where I'm supposed to be I shouldn't be miserable, I should be having fun. So New York may be ready for me but I'm not ready for New York. I'm supposed to be here with you and our friends. I-"
"Before you even say anything else…" Finn said, cutting her off. "Do you still love me?"
"Finn, wh-"
"Just answer me. Do you still love me?" he asked hopefully. She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Of course I do." She said. He smiled and walked over to her.
"That's all I needed to hear." He replied before cupping her face and crushing his lips to hers.
"So, did you hear Mr. Schuester's making the glee club do Theatricality this week?" Rachel asked Quinn the next day.
"Is he really? That's so cool! We haven't done that assignment since I was pregnant with my little one." Quinn cooed, kissing Beth's forehead. Rachel smiled and sighed.
"I can't wait until Finn and I have a baby." Rachel sighed. Quinn's head shot up and Rachel gasped, clapping her head over her mouth.
"What?" Quinn shrieked excitedly. "You guys are back together? Wait, let me put Beth down for her nap and then we'll have girl talk."
Ten minutes later Quinn ran back into her bedroom and hopped on the bed next to Rachel, crossing her legs Indian style. "Tell me everything."
Rachel laughed and proceeded to tell her everything from the kiss in the auditorium to the night at her house. Quinn listened silently and patiently, only a small smile gracing her lips at certain parts.
"Rach, that's great!" Quinn squealed. Rachel laughed as Quinn stood up on the bed and pulled her up with her, jumping up and down. They were giggling and acting like they were back in high school.
"Finchel's back together!" Rachel sang. Quinn and Rachel threw their arms around each other as they continued jumping, and they were so loud they didn't even hear the door opening.
"Whoa. Dude we totally walked in on slumber party! I suggest a pillow fight."
Quinn and Rachel turned and rolled their eyes at Puck who had a dead serious look on his face. Finn looked like he agreed, but when he saw Rachel's glare he quickly looked away.
"What are you ladies up to? I don't think my baby mama should be doing too much. I wouldn't want her to get hurt." Puck said, grabbing Quinn legs and pulling her down. She rolled her eyes but giggled as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Oh nothing Noah, just a little gossiping. Can't two girls talk without it being suspicious?" Rachel asked as she danced over to Finn and gave him a kiss. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and she sighed, wrapping her arms around his waist and leaning into his side. She couldn't believe it was possible to be so happy.
Cameron tuned out Lindsay and Damian's talking and laughter as he looked over towards Marissa. She was looking down at her plate and moving her food around to make it look like she was eating when Cameron knew she wasn't. She looked up and blushed guiltily when she saw him looking at her and picked some food up with her fork.
"Don't even bother, Mars. I know you're just going to throw it up later." He muttered. She sighed and put down her fork, taking his hand and pulling him up.
"Can we talk?" she asked. Cameron nodded and they excused themselves before walking out into the quiet hallway.
"Why are you doing this to yourself again, Marissa? You're beautiful." He said softly. She bit her lip and looked away, crossing her arms and taking a step away.
"You're doing it again." He said sadly.
"Doing what?" she asked curiously. He tilted her face up to look at him.
"You're pulling away from me." He said. "I love you, Marissa. I want to help you get through this and help you get healthy."
"Cam, I already have Quinn Fabray on my back. I don't need you scolding me either." Marissa snapped. Cam stepped back with a hurt expression, as though she had slapped him.
"Is it so much for me to want you to be healthy? Or see how beautiful you are?" he whispered. She groaned and rubbed her forehead in frustration.
"I'm sorry, Cam." She sighed. "I'm just…I'm really scared."
"I know you are. That's why I'm here for you." He said softly. Her eyes watered as he wrapped his arms around and she sighed in content, curling into his body. She felt so bad for pushing him away all the time because he was always there for her. What was the last thing she had done for him? She couldn't think of anything.
"Aw Damian, look at them. Why don't you ever hug me like that?" Lindsay teased softly as her and Damian spied on their friends. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Because I can top that." He said before dipping her and planting a kiss on her.
When the girls walked into glee club the next day, everybody's jaws dropped. The boys only needed to see the tight leather and stilettos and they were hooked.
When Lindsay walked over in her tight red pants and crossed one stiletto boot clad foot over another, Damian couldn't help but stare at her. He was so used to seeing her looking innocent in her cheerleader uniform, but now seeing her in dark eyeliner, tight clothes, and shoes that made her legs look endless, he definitely knew his girlfriend was gorgeous.
"Wow girls, you really got in character." Mr. Schuester chuckled, putting down his briefcase.
"It was Lindsay's idea." Marissa said proudly, running her fingers through her crimped hair.
"Well good job girls. Now I don't want to overwhelm you guys, but you know Sectionals is two weeks away and we still need to figure out a set list. Any ideas?"
The room was silent and Mr. Schue sighed, rubbing his jaw. "How about we hold auditions? You can either audition for a duet or a solo, and I'll pick whoever I see fit."
The glee club nodded and smiled, especially Emily. She was way ahead of him.
"Oh, shoot. Ouch! Marissa, why do we have to do this now? I'm in heels!" Lindsay hissed as she scaled the large tree. Marissa hushed her as she pulled up her binoculars to get a closer look.
"See, there they are! They're totally making out!" Marissa squealed. Lindsay grabbed the binoculars and gasped when she saw McKynleigh and Samuel getting hot and heavy in her bedroom.
"Whoa, look at that-okay, ew. Who knew Little Miss Student Body President had it in her?" Lindsay mocked. Marissa rolled her eyes, knowing the grudge that Lindsay held against McKynleigh. Lindsay was so close to being student body president until McKynleigh spread a nasty rumor about Lindsay and Cameron.
"Holy crap that boy can-Jesus Mars, how were you able to dump him?" Lindsay giggled, fanning her face. Marissa rolled her eyes and shoved Lindsay's shoulder.
"Please, you may think Cameron's a perfect little Jesus boy on the outside. But when we're alone…God he does this thing-"
"Ew! Ew! Marissa PLEASE don't finish that sentence." Lindsay shuddered. "Whatever feelings I had for Cameron completely vanished when we broke up. That's just gross!"
"Well Samuel used to have a thing for you in freshman year. How can Damian top him?" Marissa teased.
"Well I won't get into details, but just the way he's so sweet and gentle with me is enough. He doesn't need to have a talent…even though he does."
Marissa giggled as Lindsay's face turned red just thinking about it. "Shut up!" Lindsay whined.
Marissa smirked as she looked back towards the window and furrowed her brow in confusion when she saw nobody in the room.
"Uh, Mars." Lindsay said nervously.
"Not now Linds, I'm trying to-"
"But Mars, we really-"
"Lindsay, shut up! You planned this whole thing now we're going to finish it!" Marissa scowled.
"Looking for somebody?" a voice whispered. Marissa yelped and turned around, groaning when she saw Samuel sitting on the branch next to her.
"You want to tell me what you and Captain Obvious are doing here?" Samuel asked with a smirk.
"Uh, just shooting the breeze!" Lindsay said nervously. "You know, looking for stars and stuff."
Marissa gave Lindsay an incredulous look. "Really, Linds? Looking for stars in broad daylight?"
"You know I crack under pressure!" Lindsay snapped. "Fine, Sam. We found out about you and McKynleigh. I don't get why you don't tell anybody because the glee club already knows."
"She doesn't want her dad to find out." Samuel grumbled. Lindsay rolled her eyes and began muttering angrily as she gracefully jumped off the branch and next to Samuel.
"Of course she doesn't want Figgins to know. That's the only reason she's school president." Lindsay scowled.
"Linds! Mars! Let's go! Damian and Cameron are getting antsy!" Hannah called from the car. "Oh…hey Sam!"
Samuel chuckled and gave Hannah a wave before looking at the two girls. "Just please don't tell anybody else. She'll break up with me if word gets around."
"Don't worry Samuel. I control all the gossip that goes on at McKinley; you have nothing to worry about." Lindsay said with a smile. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go distract my boyfriend." She giggled and skipped off to the car.
"Don't get your panties in a twist, babe! I'll keep you occupied!" she called. Marissa rolled her eyes and laughed as she turned back to Samuel.
"You've got my word, Sam." Marissa said. "I can't betray you like that after what you did for me and Cameron. It means a lot to me."
"No problem. You love him more than you loved me." Samuel said. Marissa attempted to protest but he held up his hands and smiled. "It's okay. I have Miki now and that's all I care about."
"Thanks, Sam." Marissa said softly. She hugged him before walking back over to the car and sliding in next to Cameron.
"Everything okay?" he asked her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. She smiled and nodded.
"Everything's great." She replied.
"Awesome, so if Damian would just stop sucking Lindsay's face for two seconds we can go get our tacos in peace!" Hannah muttered as she started the car.
"Just drive, Han!" Lindsay called. "You'll get your damn tacos!"
Mr. Schuester walked into the auditorium the next day, noting that the girls were still wearing their Theatricality costumes, and made his way up to the front. "Alright you guys, who's up first?"
Emily stood up and smiled smugly at Lindsay. "I'll go first, Mr. Schue. It'll just make your decision easier-nobody is going to be able to live up to my performance."
"Uh, alright Emily. Go ahead." Mr. Schue said uncomfortably. Emily sauntered up to the stage, winked at Bryce, and nodded at the band.
Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live
Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give
Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open, why were they open?
Damian wasn't surprised when Emily looked at him with hatred and sadness in her eyes. She had made it clear she liked him much more than he liked her, but hedidn't feel guilty. She was the one who didn't want a relationship with him. They made it clear that they would only hook up when it was convenient. And by hook up he meant make out, he didn't even have a real commitment to her. She slept with dozens of other guys anyway.
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is
Lindsay clenched her fists angrily as she watched Emily. She didn't mind that Emily had gone first, but when she began singing to Damian-that was crossing the line. She felt Damian unclench her fist and lace his fingers through hers which immediately made her relax. She smiled softly at him and leaned her head on his shoulder.
I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
Emily angrily watched the two of them because she knew that they were more than just a superficial couple. Although they probably hadn't told each other yet (they've been dating each other for less than a month) they loved each other. She knew it by the way they looked at each other. And she definitely was not in love with Damian, but she felt alone because yet another boy had left her.
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
Emily sank to the floor on her knees, her expression angry and her breathing heavy. Everyone was silent for a moment before they began clapping awkwardly because they knew who the performance was about.
"Very good, Emily." Mr. Schue murmured. "Who wants to go next? Lindsay and Damian?"
"Oh, uh, Mr. Schue we don't have anything prepared." Lindsay stammered. "We weren't planning on auditioning."
Mr. Schue walked over to them and pulled them aside. "Can you guys just think of something off the top of your head? You guys are pretty much the leaders of the club and I think if you do it then they'll want to."
Lindsay looked at Damian who shrugged. "I'm okay with it."
"Awesome. You guys are up." Mr. Schuester said with a smile. Lindsay sighed and nodded as her and Damian made their way onstage. Damian smiled reassuringly at her as he told Brad a song he knew she had memorized in her brain.
Damian: Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Both: Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings?
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Lindsay smiled softly as her and Damian met at the center of the stage, his hand reaching up to tuck a stray curl behind her ear. Rachel and Quinn let out soft sighs as they watched how adorable the two acted together.
Both: Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Mr. Schuester was so glad he asked them to sing because this was it. He had to have Lindsay and Damian sing this at Sectionals. Their amazing chemistry and voices practically guaranteed a fourth win in a row and a ticket to Regionals.
Lindsay: Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
Lindsay blushed when Damian spun her around and kissed her cheek, causing a collective 'aw' to come from the girls. Santana looked over to see if Emily was watching with the same happy expression she had and arched an eyebrow when she saw her sister glaring. Santana crossed her arms and rolled her eyes-her sister was not going to ruin this for those two. Santana thought they reminded her so much of Rachel and Finn, and she had gotten nothing out of trying to ruin their relationship. Why should history repeat itself?
Both: And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather,
And stars may collide
But I love you (I love you)
Until the end of time(until the end of time)
Rachel looked over at Finn with a smile as she felt a sense of déjà vu wash over her. It was so ironic that they each got paired with students that reminded them so much of themselves. Lindsay was the fresh, young star with an incredible voice. Damian was the star quarterback and the most popular guy in school. The only thing that differed was Lindsay's popularity which Rachel somewhat experienced as the glee club's status went up.
Both: Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh, come what may, come what may
Lindsay: I will love you, Oh I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Both: Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
The auditorium was silent before everybody stood up, clapping and cheering for the two. There was no doubt that this was the duet for Sectionals and everybody knew it.
Lindsay and Damian smiled as Mr. Schuester stood up. "Guys, congratulations. You're our duet for Sectionals!"
Lindsay squealed and threw her arms around Damian's neck. Their happiness was short lived though when Emily let out a growl and got up, storming out of the auditorium.
Mr. Schuester sighed and shook his head. "Santana, will you…"
"I'm on it, Mr. Schue." Santana said. "Emily, you get back here! I will go all Lima Heights on your ass and occupado your face with my fist!" she shouted as she walked out.
The next day Mr. Schuester posted the sheet of who would be singing what at Sectionals and all 12 students crowded around to see who was going to get it.
Sectionals Set List-
Duet: Lindsay Pearce and Damian McGinty- Come What May
Solo: Marissa von Bleicken- Cry
Marissa gasped as she saw her name written and smile widely as Lindsay threw her arms around her. "Congratulations!"
"I can't believe Mr. Schue picked me." Marissa said in shock. She felt Cameron wrap his arm around her waist and kiss her forehead, causing her to blush. "Congratulations, Mars."
"Thanks." She smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.
"So freaking charming." Emily's bitter voice cut through the sweet moment. "You stole that solo from me von Bleicken."
"What are you talking about? It's not my fault that Mr. Schuester liked my song better." Marissa snapped.
"Just get over it, Lopez. You're always trying to bring people down and steal their boyfriends, and I'm damn tired of it." Lindsay growled. "Just get the hell over it!"
"Oh, I haven't gotten over Damian yet." Emily purred. "The things your boyfriend can do…"
That was it for Lindsay. "I know for a fact that you never had sex with Damian because he told me himself. He would never lie to me. And if you even lay a finger on my boyfriend I swear to God I will slap you so hard that you'll have whiplash for years." She growled. Emily glared at her and shoved her into the bank of lockers, the sound echoing throughout the hallway.
"You did not just do that!" Lindsay gasped.
"I think I just did, bitch." Emily smirked, pulling back her hand and slapping Lindsay across the face.
"That's enough!"
Damian pushed through the crowd that had formed with an angry look on his face. "If you ever go near my girlfriend again Emily, you'll regret it." He said menacingly. "Don't ever touch her like that again. Do you understand me?"
Emily swallowed nervously and nodded, turning around and running away like a lost puppy. Marissa scoffed and rolled her eyes at the angry girl. How could she put up such a big fight when she was so easily scared?
"Are you okay?" Damian asked Lindsay, gently touching the bruise that was beginning to form on the side of her face. Lindsay smiled slightly and nodded. "She doesn't pack that hard of a punch."
"Alright everybody, show's over! Nothing to see!" Cameron called. The crowd began to disperse and left the four standing in the hallway.
"Linds, you should go to the nurse. You smacked you head pretty hard." Cameron said as he noticed the slightly dazed look on her face.
"C'mon, I'll take you." Damian murmured. He wrapped an arm around her waist to steady her and she sighed, leaning into him as they walked down the hall.
Lindsay smiled up at Damian from her spot on his lap as she watched him concentrate on the movie in front of them. Coach Sylvester and Coach Beiste had excused them from practice so Damian could take Lindsay home, and since her parents wouldn't be home for a few hours they decided to watch Moulin Rouge. After all, they should be brushing up on their duet.
She was so comfortable with his arms wrapped around her and the sound of him humming that her eyes fluttered closed and she drifted off into a deep, peaceful sleep.
Mr. and Mrs. Pearce made their way upstairs with their friends Mr. and Mrs. McGinty following behind them. They had heard from Lindsay that Damian was her duet partner and they would be practicing after school, so her parents invited Mr. and Mrs. McGinty over for dinner.
Mrs. Pearce walked over to her daughter's room and gently opened the door, poking her head in and gasping softly at what she saw. "Oh my Goodness. Maggie, come look at this!"
Mrs. McGinty walked over and smiled when she saw Lindsay asleep and curled up on Damian's lap. Her face was resting in the crook of his neck and his arms were wrapped protectively around her as he slept. "It was only a matter of time!"
Mr. Pearce and Mr. McGinty chuckled as they saw their children and shook their heads. Their wives wishes had actually come true.
Lindsay stirred a few minutes later and looked up, smiling tiredly when she saw Damian sleeping. She got up and stretched, running a hand through her bed head and yawned.
"Damian, time to get up." She said softly. When he didn't respond she rolled her eyes and straddled him, leaning down and placing a kiss on his lips. His eyes fluttered open and he smirked when he saw her position.
"Well good morning to you too." He chuckled. She sat up and shoved his chest. "Shut up." She giggled, kissing his cheek and pulling him up.
They both quickly pulled on their shoes and made sure they didn't hold hands or walk to close to each other so their parents wouldn't know they were dating. They didn't want their parents to disapprove of something that had just begun.
They made their way down to the kitchen and smiled at their parents groggily. "Hi Mr. and Mrs. McGinty!" Lindsay chirped.
"Hello, dear." Mrs. McGinty said, sharing a knowing glance with Mrs. Pearce.
"What's going on?" Damian asked curiously. Mrs. Pearce just smiled and went over to her bag, pulling out her Blackberry, and passing it to Damian and Lindsay. On the screen was a picture of Damian and Lindsay curled up with each other asleep. Lindsay groaned and looked at her mother.
"Mom, we can explain-"
"What is there to explain? This is wonderful!" Mrs. Pearce said happily. Damian and Lindsay looked at each other in disbelief before Damian spoke.
"It is? We thought you would disapprove." He said softly. Mrs. McGinty rolled her eyes.
"Damo, we've been wishing you two would go out since you two met in seventh grade! This is incredible!" she told him. Damian and Lindsay smiled at each other and interlocked hands, relieved that they could finally stop hiding it.
"So tell me how it happened!" Mrs. Pearce squealed. Lindsay sighed but plopped into a chair next to Damian.
"Well…it all started the first week of school. Damian and I were just promoted to the leads of glee club and I was just asked to be head cheerleader and him quarterback. It seemed like everybody thought we should be together and we totally liked each other, but we thought the other didn't like us back." Lindsay started.
"Then Lindsay and Bryce hit a rocky patch in their relationship, and Lindsay got jealous when she saw me with another girl." Damian said and smiled as Lindsay blushed. "That was when she realized she needed to break up with Bryce."
"So after I broke up with him I sang a song to Damian in glee club, and he was speechless because he was surprised. I was mortified that he didn't say anything and we got into a fight which caused us not to speak to each other for a few days." Lindsay sighed. "That was why I was acting so different that week. I was so hurt that I was just angry with everybody."
"Then I had enough of Lindsay's anger and told her we needed to talk, so she invited me over. We apologized to each other and we began talking and singing a song that was an old memory and we just…kissed."
"And we've been together ever since." Lindsay giggled. "Damian's the perfect boyfriend."
The two mothers had dreamy smiles on their faces as they watched their children interact. They knew just by the look in their eyes that it was love. You could practically see the thoughts of wedding dresses and china patterns running through their heads.
Cameron and Marissa were sitting on the porch swing outside of his house, curled up next to each other, when his mother's car pulled into the driveway. Marissa quickly scrambled to sit up but Cameron stopped her, giving her a smile.
"I think it's time she knew we were together, Mars." He chuckled. "Don't worry. She loves you."
Marissa grinned and curled back up into his side as his mother walked up the porch steps. "Hi guys, I just-what's this?" Mrs. Mitchell asked with a slight grin.
"Mom, Marissa and I are dating." Cameron said confidently. Mrs. Mitchell rolled her eyes.
"Well finally! It's been long enough!" she laughed. "Just remember-the Lord is watching you. Don't do anything you wouldn't want him to see."
With that she walked into the house, causing Cameron to roll his eyes and Marissa to burst into laughter. "Now remember the next time you and I are making out Cameron, God is watching you!" Marissa giggled, clutching her sides as tears ran down her face.
"Sorry God." Cameron muttered as he launched forward and crushed his lips to Marissa's.
The strobe lights cast a colorful glow across the stage the next day as the glee club took their spots. The fast beat began and Mr. Schue smiled happily as he saw how awesome their costumes and make up looked.
Alex: Whoa!
Damian: We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Lindsay tried not to giggle as she saw Damian in his guy liner in leather. The eyeliner she could live without but the leather…the leather could definitely stay. Damian turned around and winked at her, causing her to blush.
Marissa: We're not gonna take it anymore
Cameron, although loving Marissa in leather, noticed how tiny and thin she looked. It worried him, but he tried to forget about it until the end of the song.
Alex: We've got the right to choose and
There ain't no way we'll lose it
McKynleigh: This is our life, this is our song
Marissa didn't miss the flirty smile McKyneligh gave Samuel, who winked at her when he sang his part.
Samuel: We'll fight the powers that be just
Don't pick our destiny 'cause
Ellis: You don't know us, you don't belong
All: We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
Matheus: Oh you're so condescending
Your gall is never ending
Hannah: We don't want nothin', not a thing from you
Everybody laughed when Hannah strutted out because she really did look like an awesome rock goddess. She owned the stage and her friends smiled proudly.
Cameron: Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and confiscated
Marissa almost melted when he sang, enjoying watching her boyfriend in tight clothes. She had never noticed this, but did Cameron have abs? Sweet Jesus….
Emily: If that's your best, your best won't do
All: Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Samuel: We're right, yeah
Hannah: We're free, yeah
Cameron: We'll fight, yeah
You'll see,
Lindsay: Yeah we're not gonna take it
Lindsay walked to the center of the stage, blowing Damian a kiss on the way. She belted out her line and even though it was only six words, she totally owned the stage.
All: No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
All: We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
All: We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh, anymore!
They dropped their heads and heard Mr. Schue and their mentors applauding them loudly. "Great job you guys! You totally rocked it!"
Marissa and Lindsay burst into giggles as they listened to their sweater vest wearing teacher telling them they 'rocked it'.
"This could be a great number for Regionals. But next week-Sectionals practice and Vulnerability!"
Marissa and Lindsay froze, looking at each other with pale faces. Oh no.
This wasn't going to be good.
