I was walking in the school hallways and eyeing the surroundings. I still had no clue who was the suspect in the whole Lily situation. Lily was drinking from the water fountain and I carefully watched everyone around her. No one was looking at her directly though. Safe, I thought to myself.

"Blake" a voice called my attention. I spun around and found Nellie looking at me.

"Oh, hey there… What's up?" I asked.

"Not much" she said. "Found anything new?" she asked

"No luck… you?"

"No" she said sadly as she shook her head

"Maybe she's telling the truth…" I mused

"I don't think so.. I mean come on, do you honestly believe her story?" Nellie argued

"No." I said, a lot of no's are being passed I noticed.

"Then we'll keep looking for any traces or hints." She said

"Together." I said with a smile. Nellie rolled her eyes at the comment.

"I got to go to class Blake.. see ya later.." she said dismissively. She left me there and I watched as her figure slowly vanished in the crowd of people. As I turned to go to my locker, I didn't see it coming and I hit into someone.

"Oh… sorry.. I didn't.." I started to say but then I saw who it was I smiled from ear to ear. "Mikey!" I said a little too excited. Michael gave me a small smile. I didn't know why but every time I saw Michael, I grew instantly happy. Something about seeing his face made me all giddy and excited. I knew it was weird, but I couldn't help it.

His expression suddenly turned anxious and I was reminded of yesterday when he acted the same when he and Shanna came to meet Nellie and me. Was it the same reason today? I shrugged it off.

"What's up Mikey?" I asked.

"Uh…Blake… I…was wondering…maybe…you… or if you don't want to… I'd understand… I…" he was fidgeting over words and I found it cute how he stuttered after every word. Actually, anything Michael did I found cute… which was a problem since I was sure I was straight.

"Hey, Hey Mikey." I said as I cupped his face. I placed a finger on his lips and he stopped speaking. He started blushing as I stared into his eyes. "Now speak." I said as I released my hold on him. He took a deep breath.

"Blake.. my brother's going out of town and I was wondering maybe…you could come over later and stay with me the whole weekend…you know, just so I have someone to keep me company" he said as he talked to the floor. "It's okay if you don't…I mean…"

"You mean like a sleepover?" I asked excitedly. Micheal nodded and I couldn't help but smile. "AWESOME!"

"So… that's a yes?" he asked hopefully.

"Yeah!" I said with a smile on my face.

"Great! Come by my house at around 6."

The rest of the day went really quick. During classes, I couldn't keep the smile away from my face and I even got reprimanded for it in our History Class.

"Why are you smiling Mr. Jenner?" Mr. Woodlee asked.

"No reason" I said with a grin. Mr. Woodlee rolled his eyes at me and I heard Michael laughed silently next to me.

"Well, get that smile of your face and start doing your activity." Mr. Woodlee chastised. This got Michael laughing some more and I punched him lightly on the shoulder.

During lunch period, I sat with Michael, Nellie and Abraham.

"What's the deal with both of you?" Abraham asked. "You're all smiles ever since this morning." as he looked at me and Michael's smiling faces.

"You jealous?" Nellie asked Abraham. Michael and me laughed and Abraham narrowed his eyes at us.

"It's just that Michael here invited me for a sleepover since his brother's going out of town." I explained.

"A sleepover?!" Abraham exclaimed.

"Yeah! Isn't it AWESOME?" I asked excitedly. He laughed and my smile fell.

"What are you, six?" Abraham asked mockingly. I looked at Michael and he just bit his lip. "What are guys gonna do? Tell scary stories and stuff?" Abraham added still laughing

"Oh, leave them alone you jerk." Nellie said hitting Abraham in the head. "You're just jealous your not invited" That made me and Michael laugh and Abraham just death glared all of us.

"You're all dead to me!" Abraham said. We kept on laughing and he just rolled his eyes and ignored us. We chatted for a while, about our classes and other stuff but Nellie was giving me a knowing look and I knew what it was for. Keep an eye out. I did eye the surroundings but Lily wasn't here so I didn't exactly knew what to look for.

"So sectionals is coming up…." Nellie began. "And we still need one more member to join glee so we could perform." she said. I suddenly counted us off. Me, Michael, Nellie and Abraham. That's four. Lily, Shanna, Ali, Tyler. That's eight. Max, Charlie, Aylin. That's eleven. Nellie was right. Glee needed at least twelve people to perform at a competition. "We need others to want to join glee club."

"What do you suggest we do?" I asked.

"Well…." Nellie said as she eyed both Michael and I. "I think we should do a performance right now." she suggested and Michael raised his eyebrow at the 'we' comment.

"By 'we' you mean…?" Michael mused.

"Us four" Nellie said as she brought out her guitar."Blake, Michael, since you two are opening us up at Sectionals, why don't you two sing this one." She started strumming and Abraham started beatboxing on the table. My eyes widened as I got the tune of the song.

"Teenage Dream?" I asked in a whisper. "I can't sing those high notes!" I exclaimed.

"Then let Michael do it, that's why it's a duet." Nellie stated. I swallowed the lump in my throat and started.

"You think I'm pretty, without any make-up on

You think I'm funny, when I tell the punchline wrong"

"I know you get me, so I let my walls come down, down." Michael sang. I stared at him. He managed to sing the line in his own way of singing and I was stunned how great he sang it. People stopped eating and came to watch us.

"Let's go all the way tonight, no regrets, just love" he continued.

"We can dance, until we die, you and I" I countered.

"We'll be young forever!" We sang the line together.

"You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream, the way you turn me on." I sang

"I can't sleep, let's run away and don't ever look back, don't ever look back." Michael sang back

"My heart stops, when you look at me. Just one touch, now baby I believe" I sang

"This is real, so take a chance and don't ever look back, don't ever look back" Michael belted.

Everyone continued on staring at us and I felt so high. I loved performing in front of others and I couldn't help but smile as I preceded to sing the bridge.

"I might get your heart racing, in my skin-tights jeans,be your Teenage Dream tonight.

Let you put your hands on me,in my skin-tight jeans, be your Teenage Dream tonight." I sang.

Nellie strummed the guitar for the last time as she let the last note ring. It was a total eargasm as the music ended beautifully. As I watched the crowd reaction, they were silent. Shit. Do something.

"If you guys want to, we would love for you to join us in Glee club." Nellie said killing the awkward silence. A girl with long ginger hair smiled at me. She was pretty and I bet she enjoyed our performance.

Someone made their way through the crowd and stood in front of me and Michael.

"Glee Club sucks you losers!" the guy said. He was a member of the football team and I think his name was Evan. Just then two other guys stepped from behind him with a cup in their hands and threw slushies at me and Michael.

"I hate the cold." I said as I dried myself with a towel.

"Why did they do that?" Michael asked as he too was washing the red icy dripping from his hair and face.

"Because… we're in glee club… and according to some lame popularity rule, being in glee says your a loser…" I explained.

"But… aren't you part of the football team? Weren't those guys your teammates?" Michael asked.

"Yeah… but I'm in glee… so…" I said trailing off.

"Oh.." he nodded. We continued washing ourselves in silence and making sure we were presentable enough after being slushied.

After we dried up ourselves we headed for the choir room. Everyone was almost here save for a few.

"Sorry you guy's got slushied." Nellie said apologetically to me and Michael.

"s' Alright." I said with a smile. Michael and I took our seats and waited for the others to come. When Lily came in, I was reminded again of the situation. I looked at Nellie and she nodded. I eyed anyone here who looked at Lily funny. No one though did.

"Alright guys!" Mr. Larsen said as he entered the room. I noticed that the red haired girl was tailing him.

"Guys, this is Marissa Von Bleicken, and she's our newest member." Mr. Larsen said.

"Hi to you all." she said with a smile. I smiled back at her and she winked at me.

"Wait… Can she even sing?" Aylin asked.

"I used to perform in musical theater as the lead female during Grade School." Marissa said. "Our plays usually were always sold out." she smiled

"Okay.. that's good enough for me." Aylin said dismissively.

"So Marissa, welcome to the glee club." Mr. Larsen said. Marissa nodded once more and Mr. Larsen gestured for her to sit. "Now, Sectionals is coming up…. and song selection guys?" he asked.

"Well…" Aylin began. "Blake and Michael are opening us up."

"Oh that's good, what song will you boys be singing?" He asked as he turned to Michael and me.

"'Stereo Hearts', by Gym Class Heroes and Adam Levine." I said.

"Nice." Mr. Larsen said giving me and Michael a high five. Michael had to use his good arm though.

"Then Lily here can sing the solo number of Celine Dion's 'Alone'." Mr. Larsen said as she winked at Lily.

"Actually…" Lily spoke. "I think Shanna should sing the solo number." Michael cringed as Lily said Shanna and I eyed him suspiciously. Every pair of eyes turned to Lily. She wasn't like this. She always fought Shanna for the solos and she's practically giving it to her.

"Okay… Shanna you'll sing it then." Mr. Larsen said awkwardly.

"I'd be honored." Shanna said with a smile.

"Our big group number will be…." Everyone tuned it closer to Mr. Larsen as we awaited what could possibly be our group number. "P!nk's 'Raise Your Glass!" The choir room filled with cheers and woos. We started to practice then for our choreography. Everyone was really excited since this was our first competition. I was excited for a different reason though. We practiced the steps and distributed the lines for the song and soon we ended glee practice.

School ended and my excitement couldn't get anymore bigger.

"So I'll see you at six?" Michael asked.

"YEAH! I'm so stoked!" I said excitedly. Michael and me parted ways and I was excited as I went home.

As I reached my house, I was practically jumping of excitement. I asked my folks permission and they allowed me to stay the weekend with Michael. I smiled at my reflection in the mirror but suddenly I felt this need to change my look. I don't know why but I wanted to somehow look good for Michael… Wait what?!

I ended up styling my hair in a messy way with spikes in different directions with some hair gel. I made my way to Michael's house and suddenly I felt nervous as I stood on the doorstep. I knocked lightly and Michael immediately opened the door. Like he was standing on the other side.

"Hi" I said smiling nervously at him.

"Hey.." he said as he gave me a confused look as he saw my hair.

"Too much?" I asked.

"You look better without the hair product." he commented. I suddenly blushed. I mean why did I even bothered doing this in the first place? Shit. "Anyways come in Blakey." he said smiling. I smiled back and suddenly the line of our earlier song came back to me. 'You think I'm pretty without any makeup on.' I smiled at the thought and prepared myself for an awesome weekend with Michael.

"PLAYER 1 WINS!" a voice announced.

"No fair!" Blake exclaimed. "You cheated!" he argued. I laughed at his outburst. Blake narrowed his eyes at me. We were playing a fighting game on my PS3 and I had beaten him for the fifth time in a row.

"I did not." I said whilst laughing. I couldn't stop laughing and I know it wasn't that funny but still. Blake then pouted his lips at me and I found myself staring at him. I became completely oblivious to everything around me. He looked cute. I suddenly remembered how his lips felt against mine and how soft they were as they grazed over my mouth and how it tasted as our lips met. I recalled how the kiss made my body heat increase. The feeling was ecstatic. I suddenly wanted… no needed to relieve the feeling. I wanted to kiss Blake again. I got lost in the moment and it felt like there was nothing else but me and him.

"Mikey?" he asked me snapping me out of my daze and I felt this was wasn't the first time he had called my attention. "You okay?" Blake asked with a concerned look on his face. I quickly shook my head.

"Yeah.." I said giving him a lopsided smile. He smiled back and we stayed like that for a couple more seconds. I was slowly going into that daze again before a noise interrupted the moment.

"Was that your stomach?" I asked holding back my laughter.

"Mmm…yeah I guess…" Blake said as he bit his lip and held the smile on his face. We stared at each other for a second then both of us laughed.

Since I didn't know how to cook, I had ordered Chinese food. We were eating some noodles and dimsum and as I looked at Blake, I couldn't help but smile as he ate. He stuffed the food in his mouth and he ate so fast, it was a wonder he wasn't choking yet.

"What?" Blake asks with a mouthful of noodles.

"Nothing" I said while smiling.

He arched an eyebrow and looked at me suspiciously. "You're messing with me aren't you?"

I couldn't help but laugh at him. I knew he wasn't trying to be funny but being with Blake and the way he acted always just puts a smile on my face.

"I knew it!" He said accusingly. I grabbed a throw-pillow from the couch and tossed it in his face. He caught it with his hand and he set down his food aside. He looked at me evilly and my smile faltered a little.

"Time for payback, Mikey." He said with an evil grin. He stood up slowly and I placed my food away. I was seated on the floor so I moved backwards as he made his way slowly to me his hand gripping the pillow. I bet he walked slowly so it'd be more dramatic.

"What are you.." And suddenly my vision changed. It wasn't Blake slowly walking towards me. It was Shanna. And it wasn't a pillow she was holding, it was a knife. My mouth hanged open and I couldn't shake the image off my head. I froze there, unable to react at all. The scenes from the library returned to me and I found myself cringing in fear. The fear that haunted me even in my sleep.

Then Blake suddenly pinned me to the ground as he knelt over my body. Shanna was gone and it was all Blake now. I let out a sigh of relief as the scary image was gone. Blake looked at me playfully and he then started tickling me.

"Blake! Noo.. I…. *snort* … I 'm very…*laugh* … Ticklish!" I said breathless as he kept on tickling me in my ribs. Blake's smile grew even more.

"Oh are you now?" he mused as he started to tickle my armpits. I burst out in laughter not because I wanted to and I felt I was going to die.

"Please! *laugh* Stop!" I said while laughing.

"Oh you're turning red Mikey." he said as he stopped tickling me. He stared at me with a smirk on his face and I started to catch my breath. One, two… adjusting my breathing as I stared at him. Even in this position though I couldn't help but notice how sexy Blake was. He was just wearing a plain white v-neck shirt and I stared at how the cloth hugged his body. His muscles were very evident against the fabric and his chest was tight against the cloth. My mouth hanged slightly open at the sight and I couldn't help it, I started to feel myself go hard just by staring at him. Shit.

Blake's eyes grew wide as he felt the hardening in my crotch. I felt myself turning red again, but this time, from the embarrassment I felt. God, I wanted to die then. Why was I getting a boner from just staring at Blake?

"I'm sorry… I.." I didn't know what to say so I just bit on my lower lip. Blake then dove right in and started kissing me. I was caught off guard and I found myself going numb as Blake's lips moved against mine.

It was a feeling of bliss as he began to deepen the kiss. He slid his tongue into my mouth and I willingly let him explore around. He made circular motions with his tongue inside my mouth and I couldn't help but moan in ecstasy as the hot feeling washed all over my body again. It was pure pleasure.

Somewhere in the back of my mind was questioning his actions. Blake had said he was straight but then why did he kept on doing this to me. First at the choir room, then the storage room now here in my own house. Was he doing this because he liked me? Or was he simply doing this because he wanted to satisfy his lustful desires? I didn't know and right now, I didn't care. I just let myself get lost in the kiss and be drugged of the pleasure my body was feeling right now as I let another moan escape my lips.

Blake then slid his fingers on the edge of my shirt and started raising it up when a loud ringing suddenly stopped him. He pulled back from the kiss and stood up. I sighed and reached for my cellphone that was ringing on the coffee table.

"Hello?" I said as I answered the call. It was Adam

"Hey Mike" A voice said on the other line. Blake sat next to me as he watched my face curiously.

"Hey." I said smiling. Blake continued on watching me and I grabbed a pillow and buried it in his face. "How are you?" I asked.

"Good. Just landed here in LA li'l bro."

"Already?" I asked. I was shocked at how fast he got there.

"Yeah.. So what are you guys doing?" he asked.

I wasn't able to reply instantly and I bit my lip. What would I say? Oh me and Blake were just making out before you called, no biggy. I wondered how would he react if I told him that. Maybe he'd get as quickly on a plane as possible just so he could straighten me up.

"Mike?" he asked on the other line.

"Oh.. sorry, nothing really.. just eating chinese food." I said as I shook my head.

"Oh.. that sound's nice.." he said.

"Yeah."

"I got to go Mike, our bus is here. Call you later okay?"

"Okay."

"Oh, if Blake gives you any trouble, you tell me okay?"

"Okay." I said laughing.

"Bye Mike, I love you."

"I love you too." I said, then he hung up. I smiled as I set the phone down.

"Who was that?" Blake asked. I noticed a hint of jealousy in his tone and I couldn't help but wondered why. Was it because I said I love you on the other line? I smiled.

"Why do you want to know?" I asked teasingly.

"Uh… I just … never mind." Blake said as he stood up. "I'm gonna take a shower." He said coldly.

"Hey, why are you so grouchy all of a sudden?" I asked him as I grabbed his hand. He shrugged and pulled his hand away from me. I felt a pang of hurt then. I let him go and he marched all the way up the stairs. I stared as he made his way. I didn't know how to react and I sighed.

Was Blake jealous that it might've been a girl I was talking to? I couldn't help but think, Did Blake like me and didn't like it when I said I love you to someone else? I didn't want to assume stuff though. I picked up the leftover food and cleaned up after.

I was readying my bed and the cushion that Blake would be sleeping on. He still hadn't come back from his shower and I used the time alone to fix my room. I positioned the cushion very close to my bed and prepared for the night. I lay in bed as I began reading my pocketbook. I didn't notice Blake enter the room until he spoke.

"Where am I sleeping?" he asked in flat voice. His hair was still wet and he wore a white tank top and boxer shorts. I quickly looked away before I began to imagine stuff again.

"Oh.. there.." I said as I looked at the cushion next to my bed.

"Oh." he said as he frowned ever so slightly. "Okay." he said dejected. He laid on his bed, his back towards me. I took it he wanted to sleep then so I placed my book away.

"Good night Blakey." I said uneasily as I shut the lights . When he didn't answer I sighed.

I gently slid off my bed and laid next to him. I wrapped my arm around him and he flinched as my arm made contact with him. He then relaxed and held my arm over his chest.

"Good night Mikey." he said sweetly and we both stayed like that and I found myself wanting this for the rest of my life.
