CHAPTER SIX
After Kitty ran out of the glee club rehearsal, she went straight home. It was three hours after she left glee rehearsal and she was sitting on her bed, catching up on "Suits" and doing History homework. There was a knock at her door. June stuck her head into her daughter's bedroom. "That Ryder boy is here to talk to you. Want me to send him up?" her mother asked. Kitty just shrugged.
June opened the door to reveal Ryder standing against the wall opposite Kitty's bedroom wall. June put a book in front of the door, symbolizing that the door best be kept open. June gave her daughter and Ryder a fake smile and walked back down the steps.
"What are you doing here, Ryder?" Kitty asked the boy as he walked into the bedroom.
"I wanted to talk to you about that happened in glee today," Ryder said, sitting down. "About that song you sang."
Kitty rolled her eyes, pausing the television. "It's a damn song, Ryder. Nothing to get hung up on," she said.
"If it's just a song, then why didn't you sing it last week. Or a month ago? You said you've been working on that song for a while. So why did you wait so long to sing it?" Ryder said, his voice rising with every word coming out of his mouth.
Kitty was lost for words. "Because I li-," she began, but caught her self. She cleared her throat and continued, "Why do you care so much? So I sang a song about getting a chance with someone. So what!? So what if he decided to take another girl to prom!?" Kitty said slamming her history textbook shut.
"You could have said something about me taking Marissa to prom, Kitty," Ryder said calmly.
Kitty scoffed. "Like what? In case you've forgotten, you already rejected me once." Ryder was lost for words. He didn't want to argue with her because he knew that she was right. "Look, you better go. I'll see you tomorrow." And with that, Ryder left Kitty's room and her house.
The following day, Tuesday, Kitty practically ran from class to class, keeping all of her textbooks and binders she needed for the day in her backpack. It was heavy as a sack of bricks, but Kitty didn't care. Anything to keep her from bumping into Ryder.
At lunch, Kitty was horrified to see the choir room was locked. Where's Mr. Schuester!? He's always here! she thought to herself. She had no other place to go. She knew that the glee club would be in the cafeteria, so she made her way to the courtyard.
What a bad idea that was. When she exited the building to go into the courtyard, she was horrified to see Ryder standing with the glee club. Marley pointed Kitty out for Ryder, and music started.
RYDER
The boys they have their eyes all over you,
And you're loving every second of attention.
I need to fin just some way to get through,
Or at least some way that I can mention.
I'm feeling you,
You're feeling me,
What exactly is holding us back?
I'm feeling you,
Are you feeling me?
Just give me something
Give me, give me, give me anything
Oh it's you,
And it's true
You're electric I can't get over it
[x2]
You're running through my veins you feel like a freight train
I'm trying everything to keep my hands off of you.
So give me anything,
Please just give me anything,
Cause I want you more than they do.
And oh no,
I think I lost myself in your deep blue eyes
And oh no,
I think it's time we cut to the chase tonight
Oh it's you,
And it's true,
You're electric, I can't get over it
[x2]
I'm feeling you, (You're electric)
You're feeling me, (and I can't get over it)
What exactly is holding us back?
I'm feeling you, (You're electric)
You're feeling me, (and I can't get over it)
Just give me anything
Kitty couldn't help herself from smiling widely and going red in the face. "Ryder, what was that?" she asked.
"Kitty, will you please, for the love of God, go out with me?" Ryder asked getting down on one knee, successfully getting cheers from other students in the courtyard.
"Ryder," Kitty said softly.
"If you don't say yes I'll just sing another song," Ryder said, signaling the band members to start playing again.
Kitty was quick to make them stop. She pulled Ryder to his feet and pulled him down so their eyes were level with each other's. "Alright, I'll go out with you!" she said.
Ryder turned to the crowd and yelled, "IT'S A YES!" The crowd instantly started cheering. Ryder wrapped an arm around Kitty and pulled her in close. Kitty couldn't stop herself from grinning.
