Not the Same Chapter 9: Sadie Hawkins, a glee fanfic

"So there is seriously something wrong with that Warblers performance." Sam stated. "It's like they were superhuman or something."

"Were you going to check if Hunter was eligible for the competition?" I asked. "It would be like a reverse of that situation from Pitch Perfect."

"I found out that Hunter was kicked out of military school before graduation, so he is eligible." Sam explained. "But there was this chubby Warbler that was nowhere to be found. I need to look into them cheating."

"You do that, but I don't think that we're going to find anything." I told him as I put my books in my locker.

"Do you have in lip balm?" He asked.

"What?" I questioned.

"Conspiracy theories make my lips chapped. It's not weird because we kiss all the time." He pointed out. I handed him some of my cherry lip balm.

"Don't use it all." I declared.

"Sam, you're late." Tina told him. He apparently needed to go a student council meeting. They wouldn't let me in because I wasn't part of the student council. I think I did hear something about a Sadie Hawkins dance though. I ended up seeing Marley in the hall and I decided to check on her progress.

"So are you able to sustain a meal now?" I asked her.

"Yeah, they're small meals, but I'm getting better." Marley replied. "I want to thank you for caring so much."

At that moment, Sam walked out of the room.

"So I'm asking you to the dance so no one else can ask you first." I told him.

"Well that was quick." Sam replied. "Were you listening?"

"Maybe." I replied.

The next day we were in the Astronomy room. It was good to know someone hadn't given up on Pluto being a planet. If it's still there, it's a planet.

"I want to sit under Uranus." Sam replied as many people giggling.

"Ask and you shall receive." I told him as I sat on his lap.

"So this week's theme is Ladies' Choice inspired by the Sadie Hawkins dance." Finn declared. "So every girl will sing to whoever they want to take to the dance."

"Well, this is a bit late since I've already asked him, but here goes." I stated as I got off of Sam's lap and stood in front of him.

Let it go, let roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know the hardest part is over
Let it in, let your clarity define you in the end
We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives remain in these small hours
These little wonders these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away, but these small hours
These small hours, still remain

All of my regret will wash away somehow
But I cannot forget the way I feel right now

And these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fates
Oh, these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away, but these small hours
These small hours, still remain
They still remain
These little wonders still remain

"That was great, Charlie." Finn remarked. "Does anyone else want to sing right now?"

For some reason, Tina thought it would be a good idea to ask Blaine out. I'm not sure what was going on in her head, but it was a bad idea.

After school, I had Marley take me to Quinn's apartment. It was going to be my first time going there. Okay, it was Frannie's apartment, but Frannie was barely ever there.

I knocked on the door and she opened it up to let me in. It was nice, although lacking in furniture. I wonder if she wanted to take me with her to get some. I hate furniture shopping.

"So there isn't any furniture." I pointed out.

"Frannie wants the three of us to pick some out together." She replied. "As soon as she gets back from her rehearsal, we'll be going out."

"Should I tell her that all that I know about ballet is from watching Black Swan?" I asked. It was an awesome movie regardless of whether or not Natalie Portman did her own dancing. She didn't win the Oscar from dancing.

"Probably not." She replied. "But your talent is from piano and singing."

"You've never seen me play piano." I pointed out.

"We can get one." Quinn offered. "How about we go right now?"

So we headed to the piano store. I'm not sure how we were going to get it to the apartment. Maybe an electric keyboard would work best. I wonder if they would object to me playing any of them.

I found out that I could play one try it out. I decided since I had nothing to lose, I would do it.

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I'm breaking in and shaping up
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it the apocalypse

I'm waking up
I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa oh I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa oh I'm radioactive, radioactive

All systems go
Sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones
Straight from inside

People then started to clap. I can't help but wonder why people seemed to clap wherever they were. I also wondered if I had to buy it now.

The next day, I found Marley in the hall yet again.

"So are you going to ask Jake to the dance?" I questioned.

"He's been acting weird since I fainted at Sectionals." Marley pointed out. "I don't know."

"Come on, you should ask him." I urged. "I even have a song that you can sing. Jake isn't going to say no. He likes you."

We went our latest classroom and she began to sing,

We're on an open-bed truck on the highway
Rain is coming down and we're on the run
You know I can feel the breath in your body
We gotta keep on running till we see the sun

Oh you got a fire and it's burning in the rain
Thought that it went out, but it's burning just the same
Oh and you don't look back, life's all that you think
If you love someone, you love them all the same
If you love someone, you love them all the same

I know the memories rushing into my head
I wanna kiss your scars tonight baby
Cause you gotta fly, you gotta let me in
Let me in

And oh I feel your heartbeat
And oh you're coming around coming around
If you can love somebody, you them all the same
You gotta love them all the same
I'm singing oh I feel your heartbeat

All your heartbeat
All your heartbeat
All your heartbeat

"Jake, you like to go to the Sadie Hawkins dance with me?" Marley asked as she got down on her knees."

"Yes." Jake replied. I felt like giving her a high five but that would ruin the moment.

"So, do you want to have Sam and Jake pick us up at my house?" I asked Marley after we were done?"

"Sure." She agreed. "I'm still really nervous about this."

"It's going to be a blast." I told her. She looked at me. "Okay, the dance will probably suck, but we're going to be with friends. What could be better than that?"

"You're really getting into this." She commented.

"What can I say? I like being in a relationship." I answered.

The conversation resumed when we were at my house getting ready. I was in a blue lace dress and Marley was in a white one.

We were also providing the entertainment for the dance. Marley and I decided to take the first song so we could have the rest of the dance to have fun.

"This is a song for all of the ladies who came alone." I announced. "I think it might provide some encouragement for you if you take the chance."

I started out as the music began to play.

Ever wonder about what he's doing
How it all turned to lies
Sometimes I think it's better
To never ask why

Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned
Just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try

Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy?
Even when it's not right

Ever worried that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me are you just getting by, by, by

After that, I began to dance with Sam.

"You know this is a lot of fun." I told him. "I never thought that I would like being in a relationship. I never thought that I would like any of this: the dancing, the going to movies, it's all really nice."

"Well I'm glad that you're enjoying it." He responded. "So you're not looking at anyone else. You like me, don't you?"

"Of course I do." I stated before I gave him a kiss. "I don't want anybody else."

"Are you out about to say that you touch yourself?" He asked. I was in shock. "It's a song. "I don't want anybody else, when I think about you I touch myself."

"No, that was the complete sentence." I declared. "We have a good thing right now and I just want to move at a slow pace right now so we don't ruin it."

"There is something." He stated. I hoped he wasn't going to say what I thought he was going to say. "I found something out about the case. I need you to come with me. It's big we need to leave right now."

I followed behind him even though it was fairly difficult to run in my heels. I couldn't help but notice Kitty was with Puck as I was on my way out. Just when did that happen?

"Can you at least tell me where we're going?" I asked Sam as I continued to run behind him.

"There's no time to explain." Sam stated. I don't think that was plausible, but kept following him.

We ended up meeting Finn in the locker room.

"These pictures show that half of the Warblers have gained ten pounds of muscle since joining the team." Sam explained.

"I looked into this." Finn replied. "It's a regimen that they stole from Vocal Adrenaline."

"No, this is bigger than that." I argued. "We thinks that they might have cheated. Sam says he has proof. Plus we have this video of Hunter having an unexplained freak-out at the Lima Bean. It looks like roid rage. Performance-enhancing drugs are illegal for everything including show choir competitions."

"We don't have proof." Finn declared. "I'm not going to potentially slander them. This isn't enough to get them disqualified. I want Glee Club back, but this won't work."

Sam then got his secret weapon to come out: one of the Warblers, more specifically the chubby one from that was missing from the performance. He was able to confirm that the Warblers did in fact use steroids and they tried to pressure him to as well, but he refused and was banned from performing. He did seem hesitant about going to the board, though.

"Trent, you need to save them. They need to learn that you can't get by with cheating." I told him.

"So what do you say?" Finn asked. "Will you testify against the Warblers?"

"Yes." Trent agreed.

We then went back out to the dance. It was almost over and we decided to take it to the parking lot.

"So it looks like we could be on our way to Regionals." I commented.

"We could be." Sam replied. "But now that that's sorted out, let's just focus on this." Sam suggested before he started to sing.

I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me
I still feel your touch in my dreams
Forgive me my weakness but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive

Cause every time we touch I get this feeling
And every time we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast I want this to last
Need you by my side
Cause every time we touch, I feel the static
And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky
Can't you feel my heart beat slow I can't let you go

By the time that he took me home, I was practically falling asleep. My parents were asleep and I kind of wanted to cuddle a little. I invited him up to my room and we got into my bed.

"I love you." He whispered. Oh no.

So now the problems are going to begin. Love is not something that Charlie is ready for. So what is she going to do? Why isn't she ready for love? Please don't forget to review.
