THE NEXT GENERATION OF GLEEKS

Chapter 7

"Hey Bri," said Sydney, walking up to the ginger girl.

"Hey!" Bryony's face instantly brightened when she saw the head Cheerio.

Sighing, she said, "Jenna told me something. Something about you. I don't know if it's true or not, and even though you're one of my closest friends, now, I'm not sure how I feel about it."

Frowning, Bryony said, "Really? I've never really spoken to Jenna, though. What did she have to say?"

"She said, she said that you like me. You like me more than you should."

Paling, Bryony gulped and adjusted her bag on her shoulders. "What?" she began. "I don't know…"

"Cut the crap, Bri," Sydney pleaded, "Please just tell me if it's true."

"I…may have developed certain feelings for you. I'm so sorry, Sydney, I didn't want to! Please don't tell anyone!"

Shrugging, Sydney said, "It's okay. I'm not going to tell anyone. I just think it's best if we don't hang out anymore. It's not that I don't like you, it's just, I can't deal with this, right now. I'm sorry." And with that, she walked away, hanging her head low.

Bryon nodded and wiped her eyes.

She had been questioning her sexuality for a while now. She had had crushes on guys before, but they didn't make her feel anything compared to what girls did to her. She should really talk to Emma, her aunt about this, she thought and closed her locker. Everything is going to be okay.

"Blair, why are you avoiding me?" Daniel declared, sitting next to the girl in the library.

"I'm not," she mumbled, hiding beneath her wavy brunette locks. "I just don't want to talk to you.

"So you're avoiding me." Finished Daniel, brushing the girl's hair behind her ear and smiling down at her.

"What do you want?" she gave in.

"Why did you run away from me when you kissed me?" Daniel said, simply.

"I…" she faltered. "I was scared of liking you. Of what people would say. So I do what I do best: run."

"Why are you scared of liking me? Sure, we're different, but why does that mean we can't be together?"

Ignoring the question, Blair said, "Did you like it when I kissed you?"

Blushing, Daniel replied, "Yes. I…"

Blair interrupted him by pressing her lips to his and he groaned. Of course he liked it! Blair was beautiful, smart and funny but she was just afraid of letting everyone know that.

Next morning when Jenna walked into school, she noticed that everyone was staring at her, and laughing at her.

Walking over to Chantel, who she had oddly befriended when she joined the Glee Club, she asked, "Have I got something on my face because everyone is string at me?"

"Um…" Chantel quickly turned around and started to speak when Sydney suddenly coated the pair in a slushy.

"Oi!" Jenna cried, turning to face the head Cheerio, furiously. "What they hell was that for?"

Smirking, she grinned, "Haven't you heard? I'm afraid your little secret's come out, honey." Sydney gave her a grin and sashayed off. Growling, Jenna finally snapped and tackled the brunette to the ground. Chantel and an amused Skylar looked on whilst the rest of the student body cheered them on. Finally, Will managed to prise them apart and sent them off to Principal Figgin's office.

Chantel turned around to gaze open-mouthed at Skylar who was chuckling.

"What was that all about?" she hissed, shocked by the fight.

"Sydney outed Jenna."

"What!" Chantel screamed. "That's terrible! How could she do that?"

Skylar replied, "She's the head cheerleader, what do you expect? I've never liked Sydney to be honest, because she just seems to find a problem with everybody. Despite what people thinks, she's not perfect. Even Trey broke up with her!"

Chantel's head snapped around and said, "What? They broke up? Tell me more!"

Grinning, the blond boy continued, "Oh yes, they were fighting in the hallway and Trey insisted that Sydney was just being a cold and heartless bitch. Which is totally right. So now they're both single. I might make a move on Trey, no-one with that hair could be poker-straight!"

"Don't you dare!" shrieked Chantel. "He's going to be MY duet partner now, watch and learn Sky, this is going to be fun!"
