I just hopped off the bus and walked into school when I bumped into Marley.
'Hey Emma guess what?" Asked Marley excitedly.
"Hey why weren't you on the bus this morning, and ok what is it?" I asked.
"Ok well you know how the Homecoming game is coming up?" Marley asked.
"Umm.. Yeah..." I said slyly.
"Well guess who asked me out to the game?" Marley yelled.
"OMG who?" I yelled excitedly.
"Jake" Marley said
We then both screamed in unison
"Well tell me what did you say?" I said abruptly.
"I said I would have to think about it" Marley mumbled.
"Girl are you kidding me? You totally like him you should have said yes" I said abruptly.
"Well.. Umm.. The thing is that.. I've never been on a date before" Marley whispered.
"Don't be afraid, if you like him you should go for it!" I said energetically.
Marley thought about my advice for a moment and said, "Wow that's great advice thanks Emma I will go tell him now" Marley beamed.
"That's my girl" I said as I patted her head.
"Thanks Emma I will see you in Glee Club" she yelled as she ran away to find Jake.
I sighed to myself when suddenly someone crept up behind me and zapped me in my ticklish spot on my hips. I turned around and screamed when I saw who it was. It was Ryder.
"Oh my gosh Ryder don't scare me like that" I screamed as I hit him.
"Ow sorry I won't do it again and don't hit me" Ryder pleaded.
I gave him a huge grin as I said "Now what was it you wanted to ask me?"
"Umm well I was wondering if you would like to go to the Homecoming game with me?" Ryder asked.
"I will think about it" I replied
Ok sweet let's go to Glee Club" Ryder said
We ran off together to Glee Club where we saw 8 unfamiliar faces to me and Ryder but very well known faces to most of the Glee Club. I glanced at Ryder and gave him a confused look and he shrugged his shoulders.
"Ok guys listen up, I see you have all seen out guests for the week,for those who don't know these guys we have Mercedes, Santana, Quinn, Rachel, Mike, Finn, Puck and Kurt they are our Alumni and they have come to visit for Homecoming" announced Mr Schue as he wrote Homecoming on the board.
"Now Principal Figgins has asked us to perform at the half time show at Homecoming" Mr Schue announced as everyone buzzed with excitement.
"Now I've decided on a group number, duet and a solo. Now Emma would you like the solo as you did an outstanding job at the Pep Assembly?" Asked Mr Schue.
"Oh my gosh yes I'd love to I have the perfect song choice" I beamed
"Ok great and I think I would like Marley and Jake to do the duet" Mr Schue said
"We would love to" said Marley and Jake In unison
"Oh so what we are now gonna give the newbies a chance? What about me huh? It's my Senior year and it's my time to shine!" Yelled Tina as she stormed out and Mike the Asian guy followed her
We were all really shocked at what just happened.
"Ok moving on from that, so I'm thinking for the group number we will do 'What I Like About You' by The Romantics and for our duet we will do 'The Time Of Our Life' from 'Dirty Dancing' now we just need our solo. Emma what have you got?" Said Mr Schue.
"Well I was thinking of 'Made In The USA' by Demi Lovato.
"Ok great let's get rehearsing" announced Mr Schue
After rehearsals Sam came up to me.
"Hey Sam what's up" I said politely
"Hey Emma do u have a date to the Homecoming?" Sam asked me
"No not yet why?" I replied
"Well I was wondering if you would like to go with me" Sam asked politely.
"I will have to think about it" I replied
"Ok cool see ya later" said Sam as he walked off.
Just then I saw out of the corner of my eye Ryder looked furious. Oh no this did not look good.
(Ryder)
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute
(Sam)
Uh huh, sure, you know you look kinda familiar
(Ryder)
Yeah, you do too but, hmm
I just wanted to know do you know
somebody named
you know her name
(Sam)
Oh, yeah definitely, I know her name
(Ryder)
I just wanted to let you know, she's mine
(Sam)
Uh,no, no she's mine
(Both)
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The girl is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
She belongs to me
The girl is mine
(Ryder)
I think it's time we got this straight
Let's sit and talk, face to face
There is no way you could mistake her, for your girl
Are you insane
(Sam)
See I know that you may be
Just a bit jealous of me
Cause you're blind if you can't see
That her love is all in me
(Ryder)
See I tried to hesitate
I didn't want to say, what she told me
She said, without me
She couldn't make it through the day
Ain't that a shame
(Sam)
And maybe you misunderstood
Cause I can't see how she could
Wanna take her time and that's all good
All of my love was all it took
(Both)
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The girl is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused (confused)
She belongs to me
The girl is mine
(Ryder)
Must you do the things you do
Keep on acting like a fool
You need to know, it's me not you
And if you didn't know it, man it's true
(Sam)
I think that you should realize
And try to understand, why
She is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside
(Ryder)
You can say what you wanna say
What we have, you can't take
From the truth, you can't escape
I can tell the real, from the fake
(Sam)
When will you get the picture
You're the past, I'm the future
Get away, it's my time to shine
If you didn't know, the girl is mine
(Both)
You need to give it up
Had about enough (enough)
It's not hard to see (to see)
The girl is mine (the girl is mine)
I'm sorry that you (sorry that you)
Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)
She belongs to me (she belongs to me)
The girl is mine (the girl is mine)
(Both)
You need to give it up (ooh)
Had about enough (had about enough)
It's not hard to see (shes mine shes mine shes mine shes mine)
The girl is mine
I'm sorry that you (I'm so sorry)
Seem to be confused (you seem to be confused)
She belongs to me (she belongs to me)
The girl is mine
(Ryder)
You can't destroy this love I've found
Your silly games, I won't allow
The girl is mine, without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel
(Sam)
What makes you think that she wants you
When I'm the one that brought her to
This special place that's in my heart
Cause he was my love, right from the start
(Both)
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The girl is mine oohh
I'm sorry that you (I'm sorry that you)
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The girl is mine
(Both)
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The girl is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The girl is mine
Everyone was gob smacked at what we just heard. Everyone could tell that song was obviously about me.
"Umm. Interesting song choice guys.. Not really what we are looking for but thanks anyway" said Mr Schue awkwardly.
"Oh please Mr Schue everyone knows that they were song fighting about me, it's pretty obvious". I said annoyed
"Well it's just that I asked you to Homecoming and you said yes and now he asks you?" Ryder yelled.
"What I never said yes to either of you I said I'd think about it!" I yelled.
"Wait he asked you too?! Unbelievable! Dude I thought we were friends" Sam said abruptly.
"Well you knew I liked her so why would you ask out your mates crush when you knew that I liked her" Ryder yelled.
"ENOUGH!" Yelled Mr Schue
"It's fine guys I don't wanna date either of you until you sort this little charade out because frankly I'm done" I yelled running out of the Choir Room.
I was so upset and humiliated that they acted that way so I ran outside onto the bleachers. I had been crying for 10 minutes when a pretty blonde girl walked up to me.
"It must be hard to choose right?" She asked
"You have no idea" I replied
"Indeed I do young one" she said
"You're Quinn right?" I asked
"Yep and you're Emma" Quinn said
"How did you know?" I asked curiously.
"Mr Schue told us all about the new guys". Quinn replied
"Let me tell you a story, your a Sophomore right?" Quinn asked.
I nodded in reply
"Well in my Sophomore year I had it all, I was captain of the Cheerios, president of the Celibacy Club and I was dating the quarterback." Quinn stated.
"Well what happened?" I asked.
"Well I did something that I completely regretted, I slept with my boyfriends best friend".
"Oh my gosh" I gasped
"Then I had no idea who to be with, I still loved my boyfriend and I hated the guy I slept with, so I lied to keep my boyfriend happy and I told him the baby was his." Quinn explained.
"Then what?" I questioned.
"Well eventually the truth came out and my boyfriend was pissed and I was so upset I had no idea what to do, but then out of all people that one person comforted me, it was Puck they guy I slept with" Said Quinn.
"So my advice to you is be patient because you can't choose love, love chooses you when you least expect it." Quinn explained.
"Wow that's great advice, thanks Quinn" I beamed.
"Anytime Emma, even though I'm at Yale and I can't see you much here's my number call me anytime you like with whatever you need, I will be like that big sister you never had" Quinn explained.
"Thanks Quinn" I replied.
So we exchanged numbers and hugged each other and walked off together.
Tonight was the Homecoming game. I was dressed in school colours and cheering for the team. Titans were down 25-30. By half time we were all ready to go. It was my turn first.
(Emma)
Our love runs deep like a Chevy
If you fall I'll fall with you baby
'Cause that's the way we like to do it
That's the way we like
You run around open doors like a gentleman
And tell me, "Girl, every day you're my everything."
'Cause that's the way you like to do it
That's the way you like
Just a little West Coast, and a bit of sunshine
Hair blowing in the wind, losing track of time
Just you and I, just you and I
Whoa, whoa
No matter how far we go,
I want the whole world to know
I want you bad, and I won't have it any other way
No matter what the people say,
I know that we'll never break
'Cause our love was made, made in the USA
Made in the USA, yeah
You're always reading my mind like a letter
When I'm cold, you're there like a sweater
'Cause that's the way we like to do it
That's the way we like
I'll never ever let the world get the best of you
Every night we're apart, I'm still next to you
'Cause that's the way I like to do it
That's the way I like
We touch down on the East Coast
Dinner on the sky rise,
Winter is the best time for walking in the city lights
You and I, you and I
Whoa, whoa
No matter how far we go,
I want the whole world to know
I want you bad, and I won't have it any other way
No matter what the people say,
I know that we'll never break
'Cause our love was made, made in the USA
'Cause baby I'll bite the bullet
And take the blows for love
Whoa oh oh, our love was made in the USA
Made in the USA, made in the USA
No matter how far we go,
I want the whole world to know
I want you bad, and I won't have it any other way
No matter what the people say,
I know that we'll never break
'Cause our love was made, made in the USA
Made in the USA, yeah
Made in the U.S.
Made in the U.S.
Made in the U.S.A.
Then it was Marley and Jake's duet.
[Jake]
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you
[Marley]
'Cause I've had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you
[Jake]
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
[Marley]
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of (I can't get enough of)
So I'll tell you something
This could be love (This could be love)

No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Hey baby
Hey baby
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
"Stay with me", just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of (I can't get enough of)
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you.
Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
ba..ba..ba..ba..ba..ba..ba..ba

We got a massive standing ovation, it felt amazing. We watched the end of the game. Sam scored the winning touchdown and we won 45-50. After the game I found Ryder.
"Congratulations on your win" I yelled excitedly.
"Thanks well done on your solo you were amazing out there" Ryder beamed.
Just then Ryder did something very unexpected. He leaned in and kissed me. I was shocked I didn't know what to do or say. I just stood there frozen solid.
"Emma are you okay?" Ryder asked me.
I didn't respond I just ran away as fast as I could with tears steaming down my face.
"Emma wait come back!" Ryder yelled.
