It is the last day of school, the last day of junior year and the last day to be in glee club.
I smile as I look around. It's hot and humid, but I don't care.
Allyson is sitting on Anthony's lap, holding his hand. He smiles up at er, and I know he thinks she is the best thing that's ever been his. Micha and Seth are playfully arguing. She is lying on the floor and he is lying net to her, feet in the opposite direction. He treats her right, like she is his princess. Justin and Mikey discuss some video game that just came out and I smile wider.
A lot has changed over the past few months.
We lost sectionals, coming in third place. But we did not let that stop us. We became closer, and now we are completely inseperable.
Jared and I are happily dating as if you didn't already know. Tomorrow is our five month anniversary.
They are my family. And we are all here for eachother.
There is a picture of us sitting on Mr. Jenks's desk. It is a group picture we took about three weeks ago.
Even with a one minute timer, we could not arrange ourselves.
Instead, we are completely chaotic. We took it by a fountain.
Micha is about to fall down the stares, and she grabs Seth so he is about to as well. As a result, he is about to fall in. Mikey and I are laughing hysterically and leaning against eachother. Justin and Allyson pretend to salsa, and Anthony blows bubbles.
Weird, but it's us. We are different.
''What do you guys say we sing one more song,'' Mr. Jenks asks.
''Yeah!,'' we cheer.
Micha-Friday night beneath the stars,
in a field behind your yard,
you and I are paintin' pictures in the sky.
Seth-And sometimes we don't say a thing;
just listen to the crickets sing.
Me-Everything I need is right here by my side.
And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you.
Both-I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me when I'm with you.
Me-Just a small town boy and girl
livin' in a crazy world.
Allyson-Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true.
And I don't try to hide my tears.
Mikey-The secrets or my deepest fears.
Anthony-Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
Justin-And you know everything about me.
Seth-You say that you can't live without me.
Me-I'm only up when you're not down.
Micha-Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
Allyson-It's like no matter what I do.
All-Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me when I'm with you.
Me-When I'm with anybody else it's so hard to be myself.
Only you can tell.
All-That I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
Uh huh
Yeah
The bell rings, and we exchange goodbyes.
I wallk out of the classroom, and Jared is waiting for me.
''Hey there, gorgeous,'' he smiles.
''Hey,'' I smile back.
He grabs my hand and we walk towards the door.
And for once in my whole entire life, it feels good to have been an outcast. I met Jared. I fell in love. He loves me because I am the underdog. I am wrong in all of the right ways.
And I finally got the courage to raise my glass.
