Chapter 4.2.- Getting to know you
Right after Glee Club the kids went to their houses to get ready. Danielle decided to get there on her motorcycle. She felt better alone, even though Ryder had asked her if he could pick her up. Unique was now best friends with Karen, they were going together with Marley, who was hoping that Ruby would go. Marley´s goal tonight was for her to make friends.
Jake was preparing everything with Puck. He was this never ending party addict so he accepted to help his kid brother on making one. After all the Glee Club parties were the best memories he had from the club, but this time he was only going to be at the kitchen taking care of the things his brother needed. There was nothing that Puck hated more than drinking alone, so he called Finn and invited him to come over and have some beers.
The party would take place at his apartment, he had bought it with the money he had earned in L.A, and his pool cleaning business had actually been successful, so it allowed him to get independent and live on his own.
He decided to get back to Lima to stay close to his family and because (even if didn´t like to admit it) he felt homesick. He had a great time with Finn in college, and he knew that if he got back to L.A he would miss him the most, so he left his pool cleaning business partner from L.A in charge and got back to Lima. He couldn´t believe how fast time had gone.
"Ok, I´ve got the beer ball, the ice and the red cups" Puck said entering his apartment. Jake closed the door and carried the rest of the things they had bought to the kitchen.
"I´ve got the snacks, the other beers, and all of the other stuff" Jake added as he placed the paper bags on the kitchen table. Both began unpacking all the things and after a few minutes their work was done.
"That´s it. We just have to wait for your friends to arrive" said Puck throwing himself to the couch laying his head down. Somehow he felt nostalgic, wishing it was another of his parties from the New Directions he used to know.
"Yeah, they´ll get here any time soon" Jake poured himself some soda and took one beer to Puck.
Kitty was driving through the streets; she was on her way of picking Unique, Karen and Marley up when she saw him wandering the streets. She recognized his golden brown hair, and judging the clothes he was wearing it was none other than Patrick. He was talking on the phone and he seemed a little upset. It looked like a lovers quarrel through the phone. She waited behind him on her car until he had finished then she pulled over to where he was.
"Hey Patrick!" she yelled opening the car copilots´ window. He seemed a little surprised.
"Hey… Kitty, I didn´t expect you to be here" answered the guy, he looked pretty uncomfortable. Kitty tried to forget the fact he was staring at her in a paranoiac way.
"I thought you´d be at the party by now. You got the address right?" She asked. Patrick nodded
"Yeah I was on my way right now, I, just took a little… *sigh* detour first" Kitty nodded
"Are you planning to get there by walking?" She asked a little amused; the question provoked him a smile, which Kitty took as a flirtation sign.
"Yeah, I just parked my car "he answered between chuckles. "Careful driver you know…"The cheerio smiled.
"Well, I happen to be headed to pick Marley, Lady Boy and Karen up. Want to come?" she asked inviting. Patrick felt flattered; he smiled nervously and thought about it for a minute.
"Yes. Why not?" Kitty smiled and bent her head as a sing for him to get in. Patrick opened the copilot's door and entered the car.
The first ones to arrive were Cameron and Ryder. Jake received them with a beer. Puck was turning on the stereo and the guys began talking as they shared drinks.
Cameron was just hoping that Ruby actually showed up. He enjoyed parties a lot, but he tried to balance school life and social life so he didn´t lose balance.
"Cheers" Jake said opening his beer and "toasting" with his friends.
"Cheers" the guys responded while they bumped the bottles and drank the bitter yet tasty liquid.
"So Cameron, what do you like to do?" asked Ryder. Cameron felt awkward. It was like elementary school all over again. He laughed a little.
"Well, I love going to concerts and song writing… sports… I´m not that good at dancing though" He said. Cameron considered that he wasn´t a good dancer was something a little humorous. He was going to have to learn to dance if he wanted to be great on the Glee Club.
"What kind of sports? " Jake asked.
Cameron Chuckled "Well I like playing tennis and swimming"
"Football? Soccer? Hockey?" Jake asked hoping he was a tough sport guy. Cameron shook his head.
"Not really my thing, I´m more of an arts fan" Jake felt sort of disappointed, he didn´t know very much about music, but he remembered what Marley had said about uniting the team and meeting each other, so he was going to make an effort to make everybody blend in.
The doorbell rang and Jake went to open the door. It was Marley, Unique, Kitty, Karen and Patrick. Music began playing loud. Marley hugged Jake tightly. She was happy to see that her plan was starting to work and people came to the party.
The new kids entered the apartment shyly. That wasn´t their turf, but they went still disposed to have a good time.
"I didn´t think you´d come Patrick. I thought you´d be doing something else tonight" Karen said between loud noises to one distracted kid nervously watching his phone.
"Well, I thought it´d be good to get a little distracted tonight". Suddenly Puck carried the beer ball to the middle of the room along with the snacks and party stuff.
"Drink away kids" He said willingly and left to the kitchen. He felt really old, and he couldn´t help it. He just hoped that Finn would come.
They all started talking with each other. The New directions looked to be cool.
"Have you heard Taylor Swift´s new single?" Patrick asked Unique. He couldn´t help it but to start laughing.
"Please! Unique already knows ALL the songs, but what Unique wonders most is… "she began looking for Marley and the shouted at her "Marley, when is Unique going to start singing. I can´t wait to put on a show!" Marley laughed and raised her hands like saying she didn´t know, and then she said "I guess when everyone arrives".
Unique felt more pleased with that answer and went back to talking with Patrick and Karen.
The doorbell rang one more time. It was Finn, the door was open so he entered. None of the glee clubbers opened because no one had listened. He went straight to the kitchen looking for Puck.
"You weren´t gonna start without me were you?" said Finn staring at his best friend who remained sitting lonely in a chair; drinking one of the beer from the six pack he had saved for himself. Puck looked up and gave him a jolly big smile.
"Not now that you´re here" They hugged a minute and then Finn sat beside him.
Danielle was parking her motorcycle. She wanted to have fun tonight, she really didn´t care if it was the Glee Club´s party. She had always been the one to add fun wherever she went. There was loud music coming from upstairs so she knew where the party was. Before she could enter a voice from the hallway was calling her.
"Danielle, wait up" She turned around and saw Ruby coming towards her. "Great, here comes the prude" she thought.
"Did you get invited too?" Ruby asked naively
"The whole club did average neuron" Danielle said as she opened the door. Ruby felt a little bit offended. The black haired girl stood below the door arch looking at Ruby, who seemed sort of uncertain about coming in or leaving. "Are you commin´ in or what? I ain´t got all day you know?" Both girls got inside.
The party seemed more upbeat now. Some were even dancing. When the door opened Cameron and Marley looked at the door. He gave Ruby a very big kid like smile, but she turned away and went to were Marley was.
Danielle went with the boys and began chatting with them
Meanwhile Lisa and Robert were driven by the girl's mom to the party. They almost didn´t go because Robert felt uncomfortable, but she had convinced him that everything would be just fine. They talked to others, but Robert only trusted Lisa because it was the most honest person he knew. She was the only one who had been there for him after his accident occurred. Lisa felt sad sometimes, she really wanted to make more friends, but Robert wasn´t very convinced about it.
Today it was different for them. They would try to get to know their team mates and make some friends.
"It´s here mom" Lisa said. The woman parked and Lisa got off the car and opened the door for Robert.
"You kids have fun, don´t do anything inappropriate ok?" the woman said. Both just laughed
"We´ll be fine Ms. Wayne" Robert said.
"Ok, call me when you want to go, I´ll be here as soon as you do alright? " Both nodded and carefully went upstairs looking for the apartment.
The woman was about to go when she was detained by a tall dashing looking young man. She lowered her glass as he approached to her.
"Hi good night my name is Sebastian, I´m looking for this number; I was invited to this party…" The guy gave her a grin and she couldn´t help but to blush.
"Yes, you have to go to apartment c-105 on the second floor. You are going to that Glee Club party right?"
"Indeed ma'am, indeed."
Finn and puck felt bohemian. Like two old man down at the bar talking about the past and how their lives were now compared to back then.
Everybody had arrived and now that everybody was there fun could really start. Robert and Lisa felt out of place. They were the youngest people on the room, which made it more difficult for them to interact with the others. She watched the others dancing and then looked at Robert.
She couldn´t understand what Robert was so scared about. They were missing so much by staying on the outside…
"Not tonight" Lisa thought. "Come on Bob, let´s dance" She grabbed the boys arm and took him to where the rest were dancing. Marley, Jake and Ruby were talking on the couches accompanied by Unique and Karen.
Cameron hadn´t stopped watching her since she arrived. He kept on wondering what he had done wrong; it looked like Ruby wasn´t so shy anymore. Cameron wasn´t expecting anything out of tonight, but he wasn´t going to let Ruby see him as the stubborn goofy kid from school.
He approached to Ruby. Hesitatingly he looked at her then extended his hand and said "Care to dance?" Cameron gave her the best smile hoping that she would accept.
"Sure" Ruby said after thinking about it for a minute. They went to the dance floor and mixed with the rest of their dancing friends
"I can´t believe that Mr. Schue is now the headmaster at McKinley" Puck said before he could give another zip to his bottle.
"Yeah, I have him to thank for my job. I mean I´m running Burt´s tire shop still, but I´m kinda glad that it´s not my only job." Finn added feeling sentimental
"Well, I´m happy that it´s you running the glee club and not some dude like Jesse St. James" said Puck patting his old friends back.
Finn knew that Puck wasn´t as happy as he appeared to be. His dreams had come true and he had always done what he pleased in life. The only times he knew Puck was happy was when he got to see Beth. He hadn´t seen anyone from his glee club in a long time; still they knew they were successful.
He knew about Rachel because of Kurt, but apart from that he hadn´t seen her since Mr. Schue´s wedding on Valentine's Day. He knew Kurt had made up with Blaine once he got to NYADA and that they were living together. Somehow he regretted ever leaving New York.
Finn gave another zip to his drink and returned to his chat with Puck, but instead he looked over the kitchen door and saw the party was under control.
"Wanna go to Breadstix?" He asked Finn who nodded. They went out of the door. They were about to exit when an unexpected visitor showed up. Both were really surprised.
"Sebastian Smythe?" Finn asked bewildered. The ex-warbler held his charming smile for them also surprised of finding his ex-nemesis before him
"Finn Hudson and Noah Puckerman! I wouldn´t imagine you would be here tonight, I thought that this was supposed to be a former glee club member party" His words were rude still polite towards them.
"Well it is, but we happen to be chaperones… Anyway how did you find out about it?" Puck answered. Sebastian laughed and looked at his feet not knowing what to say. He looked between the young glee clubbers and saw the one that he was looking for; finally he answered to the previous inquiry.
"I. Am looking for my. Boyfriend, he called me and mentioned that he had a party at this shack you call an apartment so I came to see him." he said a little bit ashamed. Finn and Puck couldn´t help but to laugh.
"You´re dating kinder garden kids as well?" inquired Puck amused. In his opinion it was pathetic that he was dating highschoolers. Sebastian knew that the pedophilia jokes were about to start. He didn´t want to fight, he just wanted to get to see his boyfriend.
"There´s just so much that I can take of Neanderthals, so I´m gonna go" Sebastian said bitterly as he went back to the street. He sent a text explaining what had happened to the guy he was supposed to see tonight.
The music volume turned down a little bit and Jake stood on a table so that everybody could pay him attention.
"Guys, I want to thank you all for coming, but more importantly I want to thank Marley because without her none of us would be here" Everyone clapped to Jakes words and when Marley was about to speak she got interrupted by Unique.
"Now wait a minute girl!" she exclaimed "Unique still wants her song, and she won´t leave until she has it!" Marley laughed innocently, and then she looked at Jake who couldn´t deny anything to her so he nodded.
Ryder turned up the volume again as his friends prepared to sing.
Marley: Woah-oh-oh-oh
Jake: It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Jake: Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Ryder: Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Unique: Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
Unique and Ryder: We don't even have to try
It's always a good time
ALL: Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
They were all dancing to the beat and throwing their hands up in the air. Cameron danced beside Ruby, Robert and Lisa danced with Danielle who was teaching them some moves, while Patrick and Karen jumped on the couches like some little kids.
Danielle: Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room, hit the ATM
Robert: Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Jake and Ryder: Good morning and good night
Unique and Karen: I wake up at twilight
Ruby and Cameron: It's gonna be alright we don't even have to try
It's always a good time.
All: Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
Lisa and Patrick: Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then
Ryder and Danielle: Doesn't matter where
It's always a good time there
Marley and Kitty: Doesn't matter when,
It's always a good time then
ALL: It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
They were all happy, that had been a good song, out of the blew Patrick phone vibrated. He had just received Sebastian´s text.
