Thanks for the reviews, guys! Too bad April DID have all that syrup in her eyes! She would have beaten up Sue, Terri, AND Bryan! Thanks for reading, over 500 hits!
DISCLAIMER: Well of course we don't! Have Shelby and April met for an episode? Has Bryan Ryan gotten a slushy facial? HAS APRIL RHODES SANG ABOUT HER HOO?
Shelby's POV
April tugged me along towards the bathroom. My mind was in daze at what she had said.
"Maybe you're not so bad after all." Those words replayed in my mind over and over.
Was she apologizing to me after what she had said?
In the bathroom, April began to yank paper towels out and handed me a bunch of them.
"Here, Cookie, we need to get that stuff out of our hair before it dries," She said as she began to calm down.
I took the towels and began to wipe the blue syrup from my face. When I saw my reflection it didn't look good at all. My face had lines of blue and my hair looked completely soaked in it. My eyes were red from the syrup burning my eyes.
"Thanks for the comeback. I would have never had thought of a good one like that," April commented, taking water and splashing it against her eyes.
I chuckled a little. "Well, when people make fun of you all the time you kind of have a lot of time to come up with comebacks."
She laughed too, but then she smiled at me. "Hey Shelby, I'm sorry I came in on the wrong foot. You seem like an amazing girl," she said sweetly putting a comforting hand on my shoulder. I looked in her eyes and could tell she was telling the truth.
"I'm sorry too April. I shouldn't have took it the that way. I know now that you were just trying to help."
And I did mean that. I now realized that April was different from a lot of people and had her own way of looking at things. Just like I did. Finally, after five minutes of cleaning up the blue form our hair and face April and I looked normal and not blue again.
"What do you say we burry the hatchet and start over?" April said with her perfect smile, "After all we will be in glee club for the whole year."
April held out her hand towards me and I seemed to feel a whole lot better about her. Maybe the feeling wasn't loathing, but a hint of envy. I always had envy towards people that could sing better than me. Heck April could sing ten times better than me. I smiled and shook her hand.
"Yes, I agree. I'm Im Shelby Corcoran. I am one of your new glee members. Nice to meet you."
April giggled and shook my hand one last time. "Hi Shelby, I'm April Rhodes and think we are going to be great friends."
When she said great friends it actually made me feel good. Never in my life had anyone ever said that I was a good friend to them.
"Yeah, I think so too," I said and we left the bathroom. I felt happy to know that I had just possible made a good friend that I could really depend on.
April's POV
Finally clearing the air with Shelby really felt kinda good. I told her I felt we'd be good friends and I meant it. Something was just telling me that. But I still had a tinge of anger though, at those two stupid Cheerios.
What is with them anyways?
As I leave the bathroom with Shelby she has to go off while Will joins me.
"Hey, April," he said.
"Hi, Will," I replied plainly.
"April, are you okay?" Will asked.
"No!" I snapped suddenly, surprising myself. "Who do those Cheerios think they are?"
I knew I really sounded like I had a giant ego there, but I couldn't help but think that. I was the director of the glee club, dangit! I had won competitions with test club! And I was one of
the most popular girls in McKinley!
"The head and co-captain of the Cheerios. They said they need to put you in your place."
"What place? It looks like I need to put them in theirs!" I shouted, starting back into the gym.
I need to show those Cheerios how things work at this school: I was top at this school and Cheerios came second to me.
"April, wait!" Will grabbed me on the shoulder and turned me back to him. "You don't need to get back at them… or put them in their place. That just lowers you to their level. Someone can set them straight, but for now, just… leave them," he says to me, looking directly into my eyes, but suddenly all I could think is that he has really nice looking eyes…
I stood there looking into his rich brown eyes for a while until I noticed how awkward it was getting.
"All right, but WILL get back at them," I said finally, pulling myself out of his grasp and turning around to hide the fact that I was blushing profoundly.
PE was the last class of the day and we would be heading to glee practice and I had a few new ideas to run by the others.
"Hey April," Will said.
"Yeah?" I ask, turning back to him.
"Bryan, well, he was flirting with those Cheerios."
"That traitor!" I practically yelled, feeling my voice get a little more shrill than usual.
"That's what I was saying," Will said, following me to glee.
Oh, Bryan better watch out. He's gonna get an earful today…
Okay, yeah, my parts right now are kinda short but I've suddenly got a really bad case of writer's block for literally every single story I'm doing. I don't know whats with me. Usually ideas jus flow.
