Hey everyone sorry for the delay! I've been very busy with my play and school and everyday life that i havent had much time to write, and im sorta in a writers block. So does anybody got any ideas? any thoughts on the story so far? any characetrs that you woukld like to hear more about? i've made up two OCs that i mentioned a few chapters ago that i want to bring up again soon, but i dont think i can until something happens to Ashlyn that icant tell you about :P
im still trying to work in the other OCs that have been submitted, so be patient. i have a plan for them (sorta) now lets get on with A New Direction! :)

The final bell ringing awoke me from my day dreams. I walked out into the halls and moved through the crowds of crazy teens ready for the weekend. I grabbed my duffel bag out of my locker and started towards the gym. On my way there I saw Blaine at his locker, he was just about to close it and leave when I called him. "Hey Blaine, wait up!"
He turned and once he saw me, his lips turned in an upward motion "Hi Ashlyn. Whats up?"
"I was just wondering if you're okay. I feel really bad that I blew you off at lunch... you seem kinda upset"
"What? No, I'm fine. I totally get it, you're a cheerio now. You have to hang out with them to keep up your reputation. If you sat with me it probably wouldn't help."
I stared at him curiously "What do you mean?"
"well, you know I'm not the most popular guy around..."
"I don't care about that. If someone doesn't like me hanging out with you, then screw them. I can be friends with whoever I want to" His eyes lit up and he smiled even more. "Thanks. You're awesome Ashlyn. Do you wanna go get some coffee? The Lima Bean is near by"
"Sounds like fun, but I can't. I have cheer practice till 4 in fact im running a little late, so I have to go. Maybe we can hangout this weekend though!" I stated as I started walking backwards down the hall.
"Wish I could, but I'm going to New York this weekend to visit someone, maybe some other time! Good luck at practice! Don't break your neck," He called as he walked in the opposite direction. "Thanks, I'll try not to." I laughed before taking off towards the gym.
As we ended our routine, Coach Sue clicked her stop watch and glanced down at it. "Good enough, we'll work more on it on Monday. Get out of here you sloppy babies. Wait, not you Cinnamon, you landed your split wrong!" Ginger rolled her eys and walked towards coach "My name is Ginger, Coach."
"Your name is whatever I want it to be, okay sugar? Now redue the routine until you get it right!"
Everyone watched as we finished our stretching and then headed into the lockler room to grab our clothes. Brittany and I packed up our things and left. We were goign to her house, but then I remebered I left my phone in my locker so I excused my self and promised to meet her at her house.
I wandered down the hallway with my bag slung over my shoulder and my shoes in my hand, walking in my socks. I finished off a water bottle and walked towards the nearest trash can. I passed by an empty and dark classroom, where the soft pinging of a piano echoed out. I stoped and stared curiously at the door for a few seconds before shuffling closer and leaning in the doorway.
To my surprise, Blaine was sitting on a wodden bench with his back faced towards me as he played the soft melody of a song I recognized. It surprised me even more when he started singing the song, and was actually good.
"Making my way downtown, walking fast
faces pass and I'm homebound.
Staring blankly ahead, making my way
making a way throught the crowd.
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall, into the sky
do you time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you
Tonight"
I fully moved into the choir room, lightly placing my bag on the floor and stepping a little closer. His voice was incredible, and strangly familair. Where have I heard it before?
"It's always times like this when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
'cause everything so wrong and I don't belong
living in your precious memory
'Cause I need you
and I miss you
and now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
do you think time would pass me by?
'Casue you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you
tonight
And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't want to let this go
I, I don't"
I suddenly had the feeling like I was interupting something, something of Blaine's that was private. I started backing up with then intentions of leaving unkown when I tripped over a chair and fell with a ton of music stands crashing down on me. The music stoped and Blaine rushed over and helped me up, worried and shocked expressions showing on his face.
"Ashlyn, are you alright?" he examined me for any injuries before picking up the stands. other than my wrist hurting slightly, I was fine. "I'm okay... you have an amazing voice,"
he looked up at me, blushing slightly, and thanked me quietly "that was an intresting song choice... sung to any one in particular?" I laughed when he blushed even harder and looked down I catcalled "OHHHH! a singnifficant other?" I quirked an eyebrow and gigiled when he nodded slightly still refusing to look at me. I pushed the small crush I had on him away and let the happy-for him-feeling set in. I picked my bag up and walked out the door. Blaine was grabbing his sheet music off the piano when I called "well she's a lucky girl!" and then ran off down the hallway.

oh Ashlyn, you are sooo clueless :P
sorry this one is so short, im still struggling with everything.
i thopught about Blaine singing Hey There Delilah but thought to cliche so i did A Thousand Miles by Avril Lavegne instead
any thoughts or suggestions? what do you think will happen next? will Blaine tell Ashlyn he's gay or keep it a secret? Lots of reviews means the world to me :)
