The New Directions just finished their a cappella version of "Longest Time" and everyone was all smiles, except for me. I watched Ryder be all happy and cheerful, as if that small time we spent together in the library just an hour or so ago, where be basically broke my heart, never occurred. I couldn't take it any more. He would rather be with some make-believe girl over one that actually likes him, and isn't pulling at his heart strings. Mr. Schuester wanted to go through the whole number again, but I couldn't take it being in the same room with him. I channeled my inner diva, and stormed off the stage, leaving the stunned New Directions in my wake.
I couldn't even get to the hallway before I felt a hand grab my arm and spin me around. Great, the guy that turned me down just a few minutes ago is the one chasing after me. I can't determine if I am thrilled or insulted. "Kitty, why did you storm off?" he asked, his eyes giving me the puppy dog look. And damn, did he look good giving them to me.
"What do you care, you would rather be with that Katie girl over me," I snapped back, rather harshly.
"You don't know that," Ryder said, I could tell that he was trying to seduce me into coming back to rehearsal, but I just shook my head.
"I do, and trying to flirt with me so I'll come back to the New Direction is all sorts of pathetic, Ryder," I say in response. I twirl and continue down the hallway but stop my self.
KITTY
You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue but I can't take a chance
On a kid like you
That's something I couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your
That your feelings are driving you wild
Oh, but boy you're only a child
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Take it easy, take it easy
Better slow down boy
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy, take it easy
Try to cool it boy
Play it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young
To be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not that cute
Now you're so cute, I like your style
And I know what you mean
When you give me a flash of that smile
But boy you're only a child
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Take it easy, take it easy
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy, take it easy
Try to cool it boy
Play it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Does your mother know that you're out?
Does you mother know that you're out?
I finished the song standing behind him. Throughout the song, I danced around him. Typically, I leave my feelings for boys bottled up ever since that incident with Julie's brother, but there's something about Ryder that makes me want to open up even more to him. "Kitty, I-," Ryder started, but I cut him off.
"Save it, Lynn," I said, walking back into the auditorium.
Over the next few weeks, we barely spoke to each other, or even shared a millisecond of eye contact. I wanted to show him that he wasn't going to win me over with one of his goofy smiles, no matter how cute they were. And besides, I was too busy helping Artie during Stevie Wonder week to even think about Ryder.
And then Regionals came around, and he found out that Mrs. Doubtfire was the girl that he was head over heels for, and he quit the glee club. I don't blame him, if someone was in a club that promoted friendship, was catfishing me, I would quit too. I wanted to talk to him about him quitting glee club, but I couldn't bring myself to it. It would be different without seeing him every glee club practice, but I'll have to adapt.
During his last performance in the New Directions, "Hall of Fame", I forced myself to peel my eyes off of him, and that feeling I got whenever I saw him sing was fuel to my fire while I sung "I Love It". Marley and Blaine sang some song about putting it all on the line, and then we won, shockingly. I'm not one to doubt my own team, but how we beat a girl who killed it with two solos, is beyond me.
Everyone was happy when we won, we were screaming on stage, hugging each other. I hugged every one on stage except for Ryder Lynn. I saw that he and Unique hugged, and he didn't look too pleased with himself after doing so. I just stood on stage, staring at him as he turned away from Unique and towards me. I opened my arms wide, suggesting a hug, but he cupped my face in his hands and kissed me. Of course, everyone on stage stopped the celebration to see that we were kissing, rather passionately I might add. Our lips unlinked and we stared at each other before noticing the other wide stares we received from the glee club members.
I felt my face burn, but I didn't care what they thought about me and Ryder kissing. I grabbed his hand in mine and lifted it up, in the sign of victory, and the celebration continued.
