Mr. Schuester wrote the word "SEXY" on the white board and turned to only see the smiling faces being Artie, Tina, Blaine, and Sam. Everyone else looked confused.
"What the hell are you pulling out of your ass this week?" Kitty asked, breaking the silence. Her head was cocked a little to the side.
Blaine rolled his eyes and said, "Two years ago, when Sam, Artie, Tina, and I were sophomores, Mr. Schuester made the week's lesson be "sexy" because the New Directions were anything but."
"Not only that, but I also wanted people to feel good about themselves," Mr. Schuester said.
Kitty smirked. "Then count me in," she said just as the bell rang.
Ryder quickly caught up with Kitty when the two walked out of the choir room thirty minutes later. "Hey, Kitty," he said.
"Oh, hey, Ryder," Kitty said quickly. She was still upset with him for passing up a date with her to stay and talk to his catfish.
"So I was wondering if you could come over to my house and help me with this week's assignment?" Ryder asked her. It was his first week since coming back to glee club after quitting after the catfish scandal. He was kind of surprised on what the assignment was for his first day back.
Kitty couldn't help herself from laughing at Ryder's question. "You need my help to make you look sexy? Ryder you're the hottest guy in the glee club, you'll do fine," she said. She then walked away.
The next day, Kitty was already ready to perform her performance for the glee club. She has Tina and Marley helping her out. "Are you sure you're ready, Kitty?" Mr. Schuester asked. The blonde nodded.
"I am, this song is one of my favorites. I know it by heart," she said with her signature smirk.
"Alright, take it away," the club director said, leaning back in his chair.
KITTY (TINA AND MARLEY)
I fell in love in a 7/11 parking lot
Sat on the curb drinking slurpes we mixed with alcohol
We talked about all our dreams and how we would 'em all (whoa oh oh oh)

Kitty finished the song with a hug between her, Tina, and Marley. The other glee club members gave her a standing ovation. Ryder was giving her a goofy smile that she couldn't help but smile back at.
"Fine, I'll help you with this assignment," Kitty said, leaning against the locker next to Ryder's, has he was gathering things for his next class.
"Really?" he said, surprised that she changed her mind in just one day.
"I realized after my kick ass performance, you'll need all the help you can get," Kitty said, filled with her regular sassy-ness. Ryder smirked.
"Alright, cool. I have off-season practice till four-thirty. You can come over then, sound good?" Ryder asked her.
"Perfect. See you then," Kitty said with a rather flirtatious smile. She then turned and walked down hallway. Ryder couldn't help himself to not stare at her as she walked away, disappearing behind a corner.
Ryder ran home after football practice later in the afternoon. When he got home, he pushed his mother and younger brother out of the house and cleaned up the basement.
It was exactly four o'clock when the doorbell rang. Ryder ran from the kitchen to the front door. He fixed his hair at the mirror next to the door before opening it to reveal Kitty standing on the front porch. She looked bored already. "Let's go down to the basement, shall we?" Ryder suggested. Kitty shrugged and followed Ryder into the basement.
They were only ten minutes into the song and they were already disagreeing on the song. "You need to sing this song, it fits you better!" Kitty exclaimed.
"I think this song is better though, I like it more," Ryder persisted. Kitty rolled her eyes and let out a huff.
"Do whatever you want," she sat back and crossed her arms. Ryder let out a low chuckle at her actions. "What are you laughing at?"
"You look kind of cute when you get upset about not getting things you want," Ryder explained, sitting back, similarly to how Kitty way seated. He looked over to her, she looked over to him; they shared eye contact for a good five seconds.
Kitty suddenly sat up. "You can't do that," she said, as she started to gather her things to leave.
"I can't do what?" Ryder said, sitting up as well.
"You can't flirt with me, or whatever. Not after what you did," Kitty said, standing, swinging her backpack over her back.
"Kitty, wait!" Ryder said, but the girl already disappeared up the stairs. Ryder heard the sound of the front door shutting. He let out a defeated sigh, and slumped down on the couch.
The next day at glee club, Ryder was eager to perform the song he worked on all night after Kitty left abruptly. He noticed that Kitty went out of her way to avoid him, but Ryder just went along with it, since he was planning something in glee club.
Everyone was seated, waiting for him to begin. Kitty sat in the back, against one of the pillars, obviously still angry from last night, but no one seemed to notice. The music began for the song began, and Ryder began to sing.
RYDER
You got everybody talking
You got everybody going
You got everybody acting crazy
I'm not gonna say you don't
You got everybody listening
You got everybody putting on a show
You got everybody acting crazy
I'm not gonna say you don't
You got it all wrong
You're so scene, listening,
You can't fell but you won't sing
Anything you know you mean
Do you take it, do you take it seriously
Because seriously, this high life scenery
It makes me crazy
RYDER (ND BOYS)
Hey, what you do you say
I need some help, help me out boys (hey)
RYDER (ND GIRLS)
Girl (girl), I've got the feeling you're feeling something
RYDER
If what you say is moving you
Everybody in here has got it goin' on and I can't compete with that
I'll take off all my clothes to thrift store
And take it all, take it all back
You're so scene, listening
You can feel, but you won't sing
Anything you know you mean
Do you take it, do you take it seriously
Because seriously, this high life scenery
Is making me…
Hey, look, what you do you see?
Take a look, take a look
You're looking at me
Singing and thinkin' that I'm about to scream (scream, scream)
You're so scene, listening
You can feel, but you won't sing
Anything you know you mean
Do you take it, do you take it seriously
Because seriously, this high life scenery
It makes me crazy
You're so scene, listening
You can feel, but you won't sing
Anything you know you mean
Do you take it, do you take it seriously
Because seriously, this high life scenery
It makes me crazy.
Everyone sat in stunned silence at the sight that was laid out before them. They all realized Ryder was singing to Kitty by the time Kitty went to leave the choir room, but Ryder stopped her before she walked out the door.
The two teens now stood nose-to-nose – well, nose-to-chest. Kitty was giving Ryder her signature death glare, while he gave her his signature goofy smile. Everyone, as it seemed, was on the edge of their seat, engaged in the romantic situation laid out in front of them.
"That was cute, I guess," Kitty said, then twirling on her heels and walking out of the second exit, leaving everyone in the choir room – even the band members – in a bit of disappointment.
The next day Kitty was approached by Marley as soon as she walked into the choir room. "What the hell was that yesterday?" the brunette girl asked the cheerleader. "Does Ryder like you, or something?"
Kitty just shrugged. "I guess so," Kitty then went to sit down in a plastic chair. Marley swooped into the open chair next to her.
"Well do you like him back?" Marley asked. "Because if you do, you can't just keep that in. Ryder doesn't like that."
Kitty scoffed. "Says the girl who pulled at his heart strings for how long? So excuse me, I can show my feelings for Ryder whichever way I want to," Kitty snapped. Kitty sensed someone watching her and turned to see Ryder, staring at her, stunned at the sound of her confessing her liking him. Kitty then muttered, "Oh, crap."
