Chapter three:
Ryder took a deep breath before he knocked on Jake's door. He and Marley had been trying to find the right song that would fit them both but so far no luck. The whole thing was still awkward for him. It is hard to try not to think about the person you are in love with when you are working with that person. Ryder was brought back from his thoughts when heard footsteps coming from inside and soon Jake opened the door.
"Hey man, common in the rest of the guys are in the living room" He said and Ryder fallowed him closing the door behind him. Ryder had been in Jakes house many times before, but after Jake got together with Marley, Ryder distant himself from his house after walking in on them making out one time. Sam, Joe and Blain was sitting on the couch and Arties wheelchair was beside them, Jake was sitting on the floor and Ryder took the empty chair beside Artie. He was wondering what Blaine was doing there, sure he was one of the guys but he didn't think videogames was his thing.
"Hey Ry,Ry,Ryyyy" Artie said drawing out on the last "R" Ryder looked at him weird before turning to the others asking:
"What the hell is up with him?" Ryder mentioned to the boy in the wheelchair that was clutching the videogame remote like it was a lifesaver. Jake just shrugged and took a hand full of chips before turning back to the game and yelling something with his mouth full. Ryder turned and looked at the others and saw that Joe and Sam was literary jumping on the couch making Blaine bounds up and down while he was reading a magazine
"They had some energy drinks before you came" Blaine said without looking up from his magazine.
"Okay…So how are the duets going?" Ryder asked just to start a conversation. Before Blaine could respond Sam cut it.
"We are so gonna win this!" Sam turned to look at Ryder just at the same time someone shot his head of "Shit!...okay I'm out, Ryder it's your turn" He said and handed him the remote witch he took and they started the game again.
"So you have picked the song and everything?" Ryder asked still looking at the screen.
"Yeah haven't you?" Blaine asked confused he for sure thought that Ryder and Marley in the same team they would have the song and everything picked out.
Ryder frowned and said "Nah…not yet"
"Why not Man?" Sam asked taking another sip of his energy drink.
Ryder shrugged really doesn't want to explain the situation, plus hanging out with Jake or Marley just reminds him of how he screwed up. "Just…haven't found anything that we want to sing about yet" he finally come up with.
"That sucks man, but hey I am sure you and Marley will find something soon. She is good at that" Jake said and turned to Ryder. They had paused the game now because Joe had to go to the bathroom and Sam got up to run some laps around the house pushing Artie at the same time trying to get the energy out and Blaine…well Blaine was probably somewhere talking in his phone with Kurt. But Ryder didn't look at him he was just staring at the screen. Jake frowned wondering what was up with him. Ryder barley said a word to him or looked at him for that matter and that's not like him.
"Dude are you all right?" Jake asked, wondering why he was acting so weird.
"Yep, I'm fine" Ryder answered.
"If you say so" Jake said and shrugged and then decided to drop it "oh and by the way great job on the song you and Kitty sang today"
"Thanks"
"So are you going to tell me?" Jake asked smirking.
"Tell you what?" Ryder asked confused not knowing were Jake was heading with this.
"If you and Kitty are hooking up" Joe said from the doorframe coming out just heard the end of the conversation. Before he could answer Sam and Artie busted through the door.
"What are we talking about?" Sam asked still breathing heavily from all the running and pushing Artie.
"Weather if Ryder and Kitty are dating or not" Jake said with a smirk.
"Oh my man, I wouldn't want to be you, that girl scares me" Sam said still a bit freighted from Kitty's threat earlier today.
"But she sure is hot" Artie said and Joe was nodding and added.
"Yep but mean, she keeps calling me Avatar. Sometimes I am wondering if she even knows my real name" Joe said tossing his dreadlocks over his shoulders.
"Hey she isn't that bad, she can be pretty nice" Jake said remembering the brief time they dated.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa" Ryder said and stood up "You seriously think I am dating Kitty?!" he asked looking at the boys that was standing in the living room and them all nodded adding things like yeah and sort of.
"Well we aren't we are just friends" Ryder defended himself
"You sure, you can tell us you know" Jake said and put a hand on his friends shoulder. Bad move.
"Yes I'm sure can you stop asking me all the damn time! I'm fine oaky just get it through your thick scull!" Ryder snapped and pushed Jakes hand of him and pushed past Sam and Artie and then stormed out of the house. Ignoring the calls that they're sorry, that he is overreacting and for him to come back, but Ryder jut ignored them and jumped in to his car and drove off.
The guys just looked at each other and shrugged not knowing what they had done to piss him off. They all turned when they hear Blaine's voice.
"I am back so what did I miss?" He stopped when he saw the four boys standing at the door "Where's Ryder?" He asked not seeing the tall teen with the amazing hair he had to admit.
Jake closed the door and said: "Dunno man, he just stormed off" They went back to playing the game. But Jake was sure of one thing he was going to find out why his best friend was acting so weird.
The next day:
Kitty was walking down the hallway looking for her first target of the day when she spotted Marley standing at her locker.
"Bingo" she said to herself before walking up to Marley slapping her locker door shut in the process.
"Hey!" Marley snapped when she almost got her fingers stuck in the locker door. When she saw it was Kitty she mentally ground, of course it would be Kitty.
"Ops" Kitty said with and evil smirk on her face.
Marley took a deep breath before she spoke "What do you want Kitty?"
"Well you see honey booboo, you and I are going to have a little girl talk" Kitty told her till smirking. Marley looked at her confused before she said:
"About what…?" not knowing were Kitty was heading with this.
"Maybe the fact that you little miss look at me, made out with your boyfriends best friend and I thought I was the evil bitch around here" Marley's eyes winded in panic when she heart what Kitty said and looked around to make sure that no one heard them.
"Scchhhh" Marley hushed Kitty not wanting anyone to hear their conversation "Can we talk somewhere more private. Please" Marley begged Kitty just rolled her eyes.
"Fine, fallow me fatty" She said and turned on her heel. Marley tried not to take it to heart what Kitty said to her, she knew she wasn't big. She grabbed her bag and then fallowed Kitty in to the girl's bathroom. When we got in there were a few girls standing in front of the mirror putting on some extra makeup before class. They all looked at us when they saw us come in.
"Bit it nerds" Kitty said and gestured with her head for them to go out. Not wanting to get anymore insults from Kitty the girls grabbed their stuff and hurried out from the bathroom.
"I'm waiting" Kitty said when Marley still hadn't said anything. Marley shook her head and said:
"Right, well…hum..." Marley started not knowing how to explain.
"Just get to the pint" Kitty snapped.
"Kitty please you can't tell anyone about the kiss" Marley begged "It was a mistake, and first we didn't make out Ryder kissed me it was just one kiss but…" Marley stopped to take a deep breath before she continued "But I let him, so please, please Kitty you can't tell anyone" Marley said looking desperate than ever.
"Don't worry honey your secret is safe with me" Kitty said and leaned in to hug Marley that she awkwardly replied.
"Thanks Kitty you don't know how much it means for me" Marley said as they let go of each other.
"Oh trust me I do, and that's why you need to do something for me" Kitty said smirking.
Marley sighed she should have known that something like this was going to happen, she mean it's Kitty "Fine what do you want?" Marley asked
"I don't know yet but I will figuring something out" She said and turned on her heel to walk out but before she opened the door she looked over her shoulder and added "Remember I own you now" and with that Kitty walked out leaving a stunned Marley behind.
It was right before Ryder's football practice that Jake finally got a chance to talk to him when he caught him outside the boys looker room. He had tried earlier but he just kept mumbling something and then walked away.
"Ryder you got a sec?" Jake asked
"Actually…" Ryder started but Jake cut him off
"Great it will just take a sec"
"Fine, what is it?" Ryder asked not being in the mood to talk to Jake or anyone for that matter.
"I just want to know what's up with you lately. You are acting really weird lately"
"I dunno man, just got a lot on my mind"
"Like what?" Jake asked
"None of your damn business!" Ryder snapped and glare at his best friend.
"Whoa! Dude calm down" Jake said holding his hand up. Ryder ran a hand over his face.
"Sorry. I just…I just have a lot going on…with the dyslexia, school, Glee club, football and things at home with my dad" Ryder said exhausted. When he thought about it Maybe he was just really tired and kissing Marley maybe was just and impulse he was confused from all the lack of sleep. But in reality Ryder knew that wasn't the case.
"Oh I'm sorry. Hey if you wanna talk about it I'm here" Jake offered "And I am sorry about the whole Kitty thing yesterday we were just messing with you"
"It's cool I was probably just overreacting anyway" Ryder said and shrugged.
"So were cool?" Jake asked just to make sure
"Yep, were cool" Ryder replied.
"Awesome!" Jake said smiling then he looked at his watch "Crap, Okay I have to go and meet Marley and I am already late but I'll see you tomorrow"
"See ya" Ryder replied as he watch Jake jog down the hallway, then he took a deep breath and walked in to the boys looker room.
Sooo this was chapter three, what did you think? I know the conversation between Jake and Ryder wasn't that good, but I just had to but something between them there.
If there is something you would like to happen let me know I am open for any suggestions.
What do you want Kitty to tell Marley she has to do?
What songs should the groups perform?
