-No One's POV-
"Oh…well this is uh…a surprise" a new voice said from the door, making the two girls freeze and turn their heads slowly to see who had broken the moment and caught them kissing.
"Coach Sylvester?" Kitty asks her eyes widening in surprise and a little fear at being caught in the act. Marley's eyes do the same as she clings a little tighter to Kitty's collar, looking at Coach Sylvester anxiously.
"Hmm you know what? Now I think about it, you two are perfect for each other; I mean you're both named after animals" Coach Sylvester exclaims, smirking at the two shocked girls and folding her arms over her chest. Seeing the fear in the two girls' eyes, she winks at them.
"Hey, don't worry I won't tell anyone" she reassures them before turning around and stalking out the room with surprised eyes staring after her. After a few moments of silence, Marley and Kitty finally recover from their shock and turn their heads to face each other.
"Did that just happen?" Kitty asks her girlfriend, still slightly in a daze.
"Um, I think so?" Marley says, it sounding more like a question than a statement. The two stare at each other for a second before giggling happily. The blue eyed brunette brings her girlfriend into a tight hug, nuzzling into her neck comfortably. Kitty wraps her arms tighter around her Marley, stroking her hair and kissing her temple. The two lovers smiled widely, basking in the comfort of one another and feeling a sense of relief at the fact that yet another person knew about and accepted them, agreeing to keep their secret a secret.
…
-Kitty's POV-
I walk out of the classroom I had just had my lesson with the special teacher in, running a hand through my hair. I let out a tired sigh and head for the double doors to go home but a hand on my shoulder stops me and I turn around to face the person, slightly annoyed to see Jake standing there. Jesus, what does he want? I just want to go home! I'm so tired after seeing the special teacher again.
"What the hell are you still doing here?" I ask him in wonder, gripping the strap of my backpack.
"I was waiting for you to come out of your 'special lesson', dude how long do does things last? Anyway, I kind of need some…love advice" Jake explains, stuffing his hands in his pockets whilst looking a little unsure and I raise my eyebrow at him.
"Love advice? From me?" I ask him, trying not to grin at him coming to me for help with something; it just made it all the more better that it was for love advice!
"Uh…yeah" he said, his eyes facing the floor so he couldn't see my confused but grinning face.
"Why?"
"Cause y'know, you're a girl and you know what girls like…plus you kinda owe me for helping you with your…problem" he exclaims making my eyes flicker to the ground at the mention of my…'problem' as people are calling it. I'm still a little sensitive about that subject, but curiosity starts to come over me as I think about what Jake said. Who for?
"Okay, fine, but who's the girl?" I ask him curiously, his eyes lift up off the ground and he suddenly doesn't look so unsure anymore, as a stupid smug grin spreads across his stupid face.
Easy girl
Watch it
"First, you gotta promise that you'll help me" he tells me, pointing a finger at my chest and I start to get uncertain and a little worried that it could be Marley. But I sigh and nod my head slightly.
"Fine, fine I promise, now come on tell me…who's the girl?" I ask him once again, starting to regret my promise to him and getting a bad feeling.
"Okay, ready?...It's Marley" he grins and my bad feeling is confirmed and doubled.
Shit! Why did you promise him that dumbass?
Hey, I didn't know it was Marley!
Oh come on, who else could it be?
…Tina?
…You're so stupid
Am not!
Are to!
Not!
To!
Not!
"Uh, dude?" Jakes voice brings me out of my annoying thoughts-
Bitch, I'm not annoying, you're annoying!
Oh God help me
"Sorry, I was just uh lost in my…thoughts, you like Marley?" I ask him abruptly and that stupid grin is back on his face.
"Well duh, think about it, underneath all those ugly sweaters is a smokin' body" he smirks and it takes everything in me not to mess his face up even more than it already is.
"Hey don't talk about her like a piece of meat, Marley is so much more than a 'smokin' body' alright? She's sweet and caring and kind and innocent and forgiving and beautiful and she has the voice of an angel…she's like the definition of perfect" I say softly, getting lost in my thoughts of my gorgeous girlfriend and forgetting that I was saying these things out loud, and to Jake of all people. I quickly snap out of it, shaking my head and looking at Jake who looked a little confused but held his hands up in surrender.
"Whoa, dude I'm sorry I didn't know you were that close friends. Which is why I need your help with this, you know what she likes and everything so if you help me woo her then she'll be begging to be mine" he grins at me and I feel that familiar feeling of jealousy and anger well up inside me.
"But-"
"Hey, you promised me remember? Can't go back on a promise, so you start thinking of things and I'll talk to you tomorrow" he says, patting roughly a few times on my shoulder as he walks past me. I stand there with my mouth gaping. What do I do?
Duh! You don't help the jerk get your girl
But I promised him, a Wilde never breaks their promises
I think it's okay to break this one
But if I do, then he'll know that something's up and he might find out about me and Marley. Think about it conscience, I agreed to help him before he told me it was Marley and if I tell him I can't after he tells me it's Marley, he'll figure it out and everything will be ruined!
…Hmm, you may have a point there
Ya think?!
With that thought in mind, I spin on my heel and continue walking down the hall and heading to Marley's house, knowing that before I do anything, I'll have to tell her what's going on first.
…
"Hey" I smile brightly, sitting on the tree branch outside her window, my mood lifting from just seeing the beautiful Marley Rose. She giggles cutely, making my smile grow even wider.
"You do know we have a front door right?" she says teasingly and I just shrug sheepishly, still smiling making her giggle again and gently pull me inside the warmth of her bedroom. Once I'm fully inside, my hand immediately grabs hers making her smile softly. She leads me over to her bed and sits down on the light pink sheets, pulling me down with her.
"So, how did your lesson go?" she asks me, biting her lip. I know that she's always a little hesitant when bringing up my 'problem' and I smile at her assuredly, to show that it's okay.
"It was ok, the special teacher said that I'm making progress and in a few weeks I'll be ready to take a test without my mind going completely blank" I tell her, feeling that sense of stupidity take over me again. I still haven't told my mom about me doing this yet and I don't plan to, she would have a cow if she knew that she had an idiot for a daughter.
"Kitty! That's great! I'm really proud of you" Marley smiles brightly, making my heart melt. She wraps her arms around my neck and gives me a warm and loving 'Marley Rose' hug. Yeah that's right; I named her hugs after her because no one else can give one as good as hers.
Jesus, you're sappy
Whatever
"Thanks Mar" I mumble softly into her shoulder, after a few more seconds she pulls back slowly, smiling brightly with a happy look in her eye. I raise my eyebrow at her questioningly, my lips lifting up in a small grin.
"What?" I ask her, she bites her lip cutely and smiles at me with a twinkle in her eye, making her so unbelievably adorable.
"Well, Valentine's Day is coming up and next to Christmas, it's my favourite holiday ever!" she exclaims happily, making me chuckle. I'd truthfully never really liked Valentine's Day; I mean you see people who are acting extra loving to each other on that one day, when really they should love them like that every day. But if Marley really loves it then I guess I can learn to love it too, for her.
"Really?" I ask her smiling at the cuteness that is Marley Rose when she nods her head excitedly.
"Yes, I love it! There's just love everywhere and it's so romantic! Although, I've never actually had a valentine before" she mumbles the last part and my eyes nearly bug out of my head like a cartoon from shock and disbelief.
"What? You've never had a valentine?" I ask her unbelievably, she shakes her head and bites her lip, looking down at her sheets and picking at a piece of loose thread on her sweater sleeve.
"No, everyone hated me remember? At my old school, I used to get picked on…a LOT because of my mom and my clothes, so of course no one ever even thought of wanting to date me" she muttered and all I could think of was how much I hated everyone who ever picked on Marley and wanted to kick every one of their asses for hurting her. I also could not believe how this perfect girl had never had a valentine before; I would expect every guy to be dropping on their knees for her.
"As incredibly hard as I find that to believe, I'm really sorry that you had to go through all of that…and you know that if I ever see one of those people who hurt you, I will kick their ass" I tell her with a small grin, making her giggle. She starts to play with my hands and her shining baby blue gaze into my hazel ones, and as I start to get lost in them she speaks.
"Yes I know and that's very sweet of you but I'm kind of glad that I haven't had a valentine until now, I'm really happy that you're going to be my first" she tells me softly and my heart melts at Marley choosing me to be her first valentine.
"You want me to be your first?" I ask her softly and she stares at me with a disbelieving look in her eye.
"Of course I want you to be my first…you don't know this but you were my first kiss, you were my first date and you are my first love…you're my first everything Kitty Wilde" Marley says softly and I start to feel my eyes tear up slightly, I breath out a small chuckle before bringing my hand up to her neck.
"Come 'ere" I tell her smiling, she sniffs and giggles before leaning forward and pressing her lips to mine, her hands gripping my shirt. I pour all my love for her into this one kiss, making sure that she knows how much I truly do love her through the kiss.
When we had eventually pulled away from each other, we started to talk about stuff from how our day was to stuff like Mr Schue's wedding. It was then that I remembered that I had to tell her about my little encounter with Jake.
"Um Marley, I have to tell you something" I say, a little nervous.
"Okay, what is it?" she asks with a curious look in her eyes, I suck in a deep breath and look down to her pink sheets before opening up my mouth to tell her.
"I kinda agreed to help Jake get, well…you?" I tell her, but it comes out more of a question than a statement.
"You did what?" Marley asks me, her voice rising a little in volume and her eyes widening. I put my hands up in surrender.
"I didn't mean to, I swear! He just came to me asking for love advice and he made me promise I would help him before he told me who the girl was and by the time he did I had already promised to help!" I quickly rush to explain, Marley sighs softly.
"Well can't you just take it back?" she suggests and I sigh, knowing that I can't.
"I don't think so, and it's not just because a Wilde never breaks a promise, if I tell him I can't help him after he's told me that it's you, he'll know something's up" I tell her sadly and she nods her head and sighs in agreement. I quickly try to think of something that might cheer her up and in a few seconds, an idea pops into my head making me smile slightly.
"Hey, there may be something not so bad about this" I tell her, smiling slightly. She looks at me, confused.
"What do you mean?" she asks.
"Think about it, I can't do romantic things for you in school, otherwise people would find out about us, but this way I could do it for you through Jake. I mean, I would tell him what to do and give him things to give for you. This way I can do things for you in school too" I tell her, making her smile a little.
"That's sweet, but I don't want to be with him, I want to be with you" she tells me, making me smile widely.
"You don't have to be with him, I tell him to do the things for you and then when I'm done, you can just tell him you don't like him" I explain and she seems to ponder it over for a second before smiling at me and nodding her head.
"Okay, but try not to get too jealous, remember whenever he does something, I'll be thinking of you" she exclaims, making me blush slightly and smile at her.
"Alright…but if he tries to kiss you I'll kick his ass" I tell her teasingly making her giggle and lean forward.
"I know you will" she smiles before pressing her lips to mine for a small, soft kiss.
Well…this is going to be an interesting week
…
"So dude, got any ideas?" Jake asks me, I sigh and close my locker, turning to face him and leaning my shoulder against my locker.
"Maybe" I say bluntly and look at his expectant face. After a few seconds of standing there in silence, he starts to get frustrated.
"Well are you gonna tell me?" he asks impatiently, I stare at him unsure for a moment before sighing.
"Okay fine, the first thing you gotta do is sing to her" I reluctantly tell him, that stupid grin forms on his face again as he nods his head.
"Okay, I can do that, but what song?" he asks and I think about telling him for a second before deciding that I should, it's for Marley right? And I would do anything for Marley.
"Let Me Love You, she's still a little subconscious about herself and this song shows that I-you, that you will be there for her" I explain, silently cursing myself for nearly revealing Marley and I's secret. But Jake doesn't seem to notice as he's grinning like a fool.
"Dude, that's genius!" he compliments and pats me on the shoulder before walking down the hall as the bell goes, signalling first period. I sigh and rest my head back on the cold metal of the lockers, hoping to God that this all turns out alright.
…
Let me love you,
And I will love you,
Until you learn to love yourself.
Jake finishes off the song, looking smug and as everyone claps their hands, I clench my teeth together to stop myself from doing anything stupid. This was a bad idea, all through the song Jake has been undressing Marley with his eyes and she doesn't seem to have noticed, just sitting there with a wide smile on her face, looking like she's really enjoying the performance. What worried me was that not once did she take her eyes of Jake, and I'm pretty sure that I saw that sparkle in her eye…
Come on Kitty, remember what Marley said? Every time he does something, she'll be thinking of you the whole time
I know, I know…but why couldn't she just glance at me once? She was staring at Jake almost as if she was swooning and it didn't look fake!
Jesus Christ, would you calm down?! Marley loves you, YOU. Just like you love her, so stop worrying
Yeah…yeah, you're right. I love Marley, and I trust her, she would never do that to me
"Jake that was amazing, good job! Was there a special someone that song was meant for?" Mr Schue smiled with a glint in his eye; I looked over to Jake to see him grinning at Marley and he looked pretty pleased with himself. I'm trying my best not to get jealous, but it's getting hard with the two of them staring at each other and smiling their freaking heads off…no, Kitty stop it! Marley's thinking of you remember? This isn't real, it's not real…man, this was a bad idea.
…
As I'm messing around with stuff in my locker, two hands from behind me grab my shoulders and shake them rather roughly. I almost jump two feet in the air but calm myself down to turn around and see the person who'd literally almost jumped on my back.
"Dude that song worked like a charm! Marley's so gonna be mine by the end of this week" of course it was Jake, it's always freaking Jake.
"Look, Marley's a person, you can't own her" I tell him with a stern look, turning back around to shut my locker. I hadn't seen Marley since yesterday in the choir room, when Jake sung the song that Itold him to sing. I wanted to see her but I was so exhausted from my lesson with the special teacher and besides, Marley said that she had some homework to do and that it was fine. I miss her though I think to myself with a sigh.
"Yeah, yeah whatever, listen I need some more stuff to woo Marley with, you got anything?" Jake asks me, rubbing his hands together and completely ignoring what I just said. I sigh heavily and wonder if I should tell him anything else, I have tons of ideas but…
But what?
Oh, goody, you're here
Oh, you're so hilarious, seriously though, but what?
I don't know, I mean if Jake keeps doing the things I tell him, what if Marley starts to like him for real?
Oh for the love of- Kitty would you quit being such an idiot?! Marley's thinking of you the whole time, there it's done, now stop thinking about it!
But I-
No!
But-
I said no!
"Yeah, I got a few things" just as I finish talking, the bell for next period goes off and I rack through my brain for what thing I should tell him.
"Alright, I've got a free period now, so I'll go get something for her and give it to you at lunch" I reluctantly tell him, making Jake grin. My God, that grin just gets more annoying every time.
"You are a life saver, thanks bro" Jake pats me on the shoulder before walking down the hallway to class. I sigh once again and turn around to head through the double doors, already knowing exactly what I'm getting Marley…well actually knowing what I'm getting Jake to give to Marley.
…
By the time I get back from the flower shop, lunch had just started. I walk over to my locker to put the flowers away, once they were safely tucked inside my locker, I turned around and made my way to the cafeteria to get some lunch. All this jealousy has made me kinda hungry.
"Oh, hello Kitty" I hear a kind voice say and my head snaps up from the 'food' on my tray to see Mrs Rose with a warm smile on her face.
"Hey Mrs Rose, how are you doin'?" I ask her, smiling politely. I hadn't seen her in a while, a while meaning five days and I gotta admit I sorta missed her and her motherly instincts.
"I'm good thank you; I haven't seen you around the house in a while, everything okay?" Mrs Rose asked, looking concerned. I sighed tiredly and looked down at my tray.
"Yeah…I think so, it's just…Jake" I tell her and look up with a small grin when I hear her groan in annoyance.
"My lord, that boy again?" Mrs Rose groans and I grin at her, going to open my mouth to say something but someone patting me on the back from behind stops me and I don't even need to turn around to see who it is. When I turn my head, my thoughts are confirmed. Jake freaking Puckerman.
"So dude, got anything for me?" he asks grinning, I sigh a little and look back to Mrs Rose apologetically, only to see her glaring at Jake making my smirk a little.
"Yeah, uh it's in my locker" I inform him.
"Awesome, let's go get it then…uh, hey Mrs Rose" Jake waves awkwardly at Mrs Rose, looking pretty uncomfortable under the glare she was sending his way.
"Jake" Mrs Rose nods once at him, and I bite my lip to stop myself from laughing at the look on Jake's face. He nod's at her and gestures for me to follow him out of the cafeteria.
"Come on dude" he says, quickly rushing out of there. I still have no idea why he calls me that, I'm obviously not a guy, but whatever that's the least of my problems right now.
"What was that?" Mrs Rose asks, with a slightly confused look on her face. I sigh and give her a look that says 'don't worry about it'.
"It's a long story" I smile at her one more time before turning on my heel and heading to my locker, where I knew Jake would be waiting. I purposely walk slowly, partly because I don't want to give him the flowers but also just to annoy him. Once I'm at my destination, my thoughts stand corrected when I see Jake impatiently standing at my locker.
"Finally! Dude what took you so long? Doesn't matter, so what have you got for me?" he asks me, jumping a little on the spot. I start to open up my locker as I answer him.
"Well, for Marley I got these peonies, it's her favourite flower" I tell him, pulling out the bouquet. As much as the brunette loved roses, she had told me that peonies would always be her favourite.
"Thanks man, this is gonna be so good!" he states, fist pumping the air before grabbing the flowers off me and running down the hall, I watch after him sadly, wishing that I could be the one rushing through the halls just to give my girlfriend some flowers. I guess I better go get some lunch now since I was so rudely pulled away from it before.
Sighing, I spin on my heel and start to make my way to the cafeteria. Hopefully school will be over as soon as possible so I can go and see Marley at her house. That thought lifts my mood a little and a small smile forms on my face as I push open the doors to the cafeteria.
…
-Marley's POV-
I decide to eat my lunch in the choir room today, I wanted to go over some sheet music for Glee…but also because I need to think about stuff.
What kinda stuff?
Well hello to you too
Sorry, hi. Now what kind of stuff?
…Kitty stuff…and Jake stuff
Okay, hold up! Since when do we think about Jake?
Since he sang that song for me
Uh DUH! That was Kitty's idea!
I know but…it sounded like he sorta, maybe, kinda meant it?
What?! He did not mean it; he's Jake Puckerman, a PLAYER Marley!
Well, maybe he's not?
What are you trying to say? Do you…like him?
What? No! Of course not, I love Kitty!
Okay okay, just wondering because you lied about needing to do homework last night
That was only because I didn't want her to feel bad about not coming over
Really?
Yes
Reaaallly?
Yes!
Re-
Are we really doing this?
…guess not
The door opening interrupts my useless thoughts and I look up from where I was standing at the piano, only to see Jake standing there with a grin. I look down to see something that he's holding in his hand…are those peonies?!
"Sup Marley" Jake smirked at me and for some reason I felt a small smile tug at my lips…it's probably just because of the peonies, man I love those flowers.
"Oh um, hey Jake, what are you doing here?" I ask him curiously, my eyes excitedly flickering down to the flowers in his hand, silently hoping that they were for me.
"Well, I came here for two reasons. First, to give you these flowers" Jake said, looking smug before handing me the peonies and I gladly take them, bringing the soft, delicate petals up to my nose to take a whiff of the gorgeous smell.
"Thank you, these are actually my favourite flowers" I inform him, but kind of knowing that it was Kitty's idea.
Kind of knowing? You mean, FULLY knowing
Well…what if Jake thought of this on his own?
Holy mother of God, are we really going to have this conversation again? Marley, everything good that this idiot is doing for you is KITTY'S idea! Okay?!
…Fine…Aww, she remembered!
"Yeah I know, that's why I got them for you…so second, I wanted to know if you'd like to go on a date with me this Friday?" he asked with a smirk and a sort of smug look which started to kind of annoy me.
"Look Jake, I already told you I'm not looking for-"
"A relationship right now yeah I get it, but Marley come on, I saw you looking at me when I sang to you. Plus, I got you these flowers and I already told you, I'm into you and I happen to know that you're into me too" Jake grinned and I had to refrain myself from groaning, this boy could not take a hint could he?! I'm in love with Kitty you idiot!
"Jake, I'm not into you okay?" I tell him, putting emphasis on the word 'into', why can't he just say like? Into sounds too dirty.
Innocent, innocent Marley
Oh, shut it
"You can say that but I know in your eyes that you don't mean it, I mean come on! You asked me to prom! That means that you have to have some kind of feelings for me" he exclaimed, that stupid smirk back on his face. I go to deny it but the bell ringing for next period interrupts me, wow lunch is already over? That was fast.
"Okay, so I gotta go to class now but I'll catch you later" he winks at me weirdly and turns to walk out of the room, my eyes staring after him. I suck in a deep, shaky breath before packing up my things and walking out of the room myself.
…
A few taps on my window makes my head snap up from the homework I was currently working on. Yeah, tonight I was actually doing my homework and not lying about doing it. A bright smile spreads across my face when I see a cute looking Kitty sitting on a tree branch, holding a rectangular cardboard box and smiling charmingly at me.
I quickly spring up from my bed, my homework forgotten, piled on my bed. I bounce over to my window and open it up, smiling brightly at Kitty.
"Before you say anything, I know, I know I should've used the front door but…well, I didn't. AND the reason I'm here is because you have been working yourself too hard, what with all the homework and everything and I thought that you could use a little break from it all, so I brought your favourite. Cheese pizza" Kitty grinned cutely at me, slightly lifting the cardboard box up and that's when I notice how delicious it smells. When Kitty mentions the 'homework' part though, I start to feel guilt wash over me about lying to her but it's quickly covered by a smile when Kitty finishes talking. Aww, she's so sweet!
"I also came here because…I missed you" Kitty tells me, looking at me with such love and honesty I melt. It was then that I realised how much I'd missed her too, we hadn't really spent time together since Kitty told me what she had promised Jake.
"God, I missed you too" I tell her, smiling widely and helping her inside. Once she was standing in front of me, I pulled her into me for a hug and sighed happily into her neck.
"So, you hungry?" I hear her mumble into my hair and that's when my stomach decides to embarrass me rumbling, and not quietly. I pull away from Kitty with a blush, biting my lip as she chuckles.
"I'll take that as a yes?" she says jokingly and bends down to sit on the floor, me following her lead and plopping down next to her. When she lifts the top off the cardboard box revealing a delicious looking pizza, I feel my stomach growl again. Kitty chuckles again, handing me a piece. I smile in thanks and take a bite, closing my eyes at the taste.
"Mmmm, this is so good!" I say appreciatively, immediately taking another bite. Gosh, I didn't realise I was so hungry.
"Thanks, I made it" Kitty told me offhandedly and my eyes widened.
"You…made this?!" I ask her in amazement, Kitty swallowed and nodded her head.
"Yeah, it's why I took a while to get here, I was making you this" she informs me and I feel my heart flutter. Aww! She spent her time making this for me?
"Aww, Kitty that's sweet" I swoon and giggle as a cute blush forms on Kitty's face.
"Like I said Mar, you've been working yourself pretty hard so I figured you could use a break" Kitty tells me softly and I feel the guilt creeping up inside me again but wave it off with a smile.
For the next hour Kitty and I sat and talked whilst we finished off the cheese pizza. It felt like a long time since I had had so much fun and felt so at ease with someone, and it was over all too quickly.
"Okay, so I'll see you tomorrow?" Kitty asks as she picks up the pizza box and began to climb out the window. I nod my head at her with a small smile.
"Yeah, thank you for this, it was really fun" I tell her and lean in to give her a soft kiss. I feel sparks erupt inside me and realise how I'd missed kissing those pink lips.
"No problem, I love you Marley" she tells me with a small smile when we pull away from each other.
"I love you too" I tell her as she climbs out the window and down the tree. With one last wave at each other, Kitty blows me a kiss and spins around to make her way home. I close my window and lean back against it with a love sick sigh, still feeling butterflies in my stomach. Man, I love her.
…
How could I have been so stupid to even think that I still had any feelings for Jake? After last night with Kitty, I know for sure that I love her and only her. I smile as I catch a glimpse of Kitty down the hall messing around with things in her locker. I skip over to her and tap her on the shoulder, I giggle as she jumps a little in surprise and turns around to look at me with a cute smile.
"Hey" she greeted me, and just seeing her made my smile brighten.
"Hi…I um, I wanted to thank you for everything that you told Jake to do for me, it was really sweet and I can't believe that you remembered about the peonies!" I told her, a little excitedly. Kitty chuckled before answering.
"How could I forget?" she said playfully making me giggle. I go to say something else but I get interrupted by three cheerio's who had walked up to us.
"Hey Wilde, how's the dumb classes?" one of them asked and Kitty just sighed, turning back to her locker and ignoring them.
"Aww, do they last for a long time? Are they slow like you?" the cheerleader sneered and I felt an unfamiliar feeling of anger start to well up inside me.
"Stop" I say sharply, surprising not only Kitty and the cheerio's but myself too. The cheerleader didn't seem to like me standing up for my secret girlfriend though, as she turned her glare onto me.
"What did you just say?" she asked me sharply and for once, she didn't scare me. She was teasing Kitty about something that I know Kitty's sensitive about. I took a glance at Kitty to see her watching the scene cautiously, but as I looked closer I could see one of her eyes almost filled with a tear, and that made me angrier.
"I said stop" I told her just as sharply and I could see her eyes widen for a second before she took a threatening step closer towards me, so our noses were only inches apart. But I stood my ground and tilted my chin up, returning her hard stare.
"Oh yeah Rose? Or what?" she spat and looked me up and down, I faltered for a second. Not knowing what to say back, I hated violence and I'd never used it before, but she's being so mean to Kitty and I can't help but feel anger. Her mocking laugh brought me out of my thoughts as she took a step back from me.
"That's what I thought, your friend Kitty here is pathetic, just like your fat mother" as soon as the sentence left her lips, my rage erupted inside me and before I had time to register what I was doing, I had barricaded into her and sent us both to the floor, the palm of my hand collided with the side of the cheerio's face and she squeaked out, grabbing and yanking at my hair.
I squealed in pain and moved my hand to yank at her hair also, as we rolled around the floor. I could faintly hear the crowd that had formed around us chanting 'fight! Fight!'. All of a sudden, two strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist and lifted me up, away from the cheerio who had thankfully let go of my hair. I thrashed around in the strong arms, trying desperately to get to the girl who had not only insulted my girlfriend but also my mom.
"Marley. Hey, calm down ok? Calm down" a soft voice spoke in my ear and I turned my head to the side slightly to see Kitty staring back at me worriedly. The soothing sound of her voice made me relax in her arms and calmed me down. I sighed softly and as quick as lightening, spun around in her safe arms, wrapping mine around her neck tightly, needing her comfort right now.
She seemed surprised at first but reacted quickly and wrapped her arms tightly around my waist. I buried my face into the crook of her neck, trying to hide from all the staring faces and doing my best to keep my tears at bay from the pain of having my hair ripped out and also from what I had just done. I had been in a real fight, and not only that but I had started it!
Well technically that bitch started it by saying mean things about Kitty
Conscience! Language!
What? It's true!
…
Oh my Gosh! I've never been in trouble before; I've never had to come to the Principal's office because I'd done something bad! I'm freaking out right now!
"Miss Rose why did you attack Miss Hale?" Principle Figgins asked me and I was bouncing in my seat, I was so nervous. I quickly rushed to explain.
"Principle Figgins I swear to you that I've never condoned violence and I only did it this one time because she was mocking Kitty about having to have classes with the special teacher and that's a sensitive subject for Kitty, that and she made fun of my mom…again. Look, I know what I did was wrong and I'll accept any punishment that you're going to give me…just please, please don't suspend me" I beg him, I had said everything so fast that I worried he hadn't caught all of it. But as he sighed and leaned back in his chair, I guess that he had heard all of it.
"Miss Rose, what you did was wrong but…you are a straight A student, and you have never been in any trouble before…so, I will let you off with a warning, but just. This. Once" he said, pointing a finger at me. I let out a breath of relief and smiled widely at him.
"Oh thank you so much Principle Figgins! I promise, I won't ever use violence again" I promise him, happy that he had let me off the hook. I had never had detention before and I didn't want to start now.
Just I had finished speaking, the door slammed open and someone came rushing in. I turned around in my seat to see my mom standing there, slightly panting.
"Principle Figgins! I swear whatever Marley did, she had good reason for it! Please don't suspend her, she's a good girl, she's smart and has never gotten into trouble in her life, like EVER, so please whatever she did just…just…what did she do again?" my mom asked slightly confused, I cover my mouth with my hand to keep myself from laughing. I turn around to see Figgins' eyes wide open in surprise, so I take it upon myself to inform my mom on what was going on.
"Mom, we've already sorted things out. I'm getting let off with a warning" I tell her with a small smile, my mom looks relieved with this information and sighs, putting a hand over her heart. She turns her head to look at Figgins thankfully.
"Thank you Principle Figgins, you won't regret this I promise you" my mom smiles gratefully one more time before walking with me out the door and stepping into the empty hallway.
"Alright young lady, talk" my mom says, looking at me pointedly. I groan a little, I hate when she calls me that.
"Young lady? Really?" I ask her, returning her pointed stare. When she just raises her eyebrow at me, I sigh and look down.
"Okay, okay…I got in a small fight with a cheerio…look before you say anything, she was making fun of Kitty and calling her dumb, and I don't know, I just got so angry and she would stop and I just…lost it, I guess? I'm sorry, I know it was wrong and I hate violence but-"
"Sweetie slow down! Listen I completely understand why you did what you did, if I was you I honestly would have done the same thing…but that doesn't mean I can let you off the hook, you did get into a fight so um…you are…honey I honestly have no idea what to do, you've never done something bad before" my mom says sheepishly, making me laugh softly.
"I think you're supposed to ground me?" I offer her.
What are you doing?! Now you've just gotten yourself grounded!
Oh yeah…darnit
"Right, ok so…no reading for a week?" my mom said, more like offered. I giggle a little because I don't even read that much but decide to accept my sort of punishment.
"Okay mom" I smile before pulling her into a hug, both of us chuckling a little.
"So…did you get her good?" my mom asks mischievously, referring to my fight with the cheerio. I smile slightly into my mom's shoulder.
"I slapped her across the face" I tell her, kind of worried if my mom will think that that was bad.
"That's my girl" my mom replied laughing whole heartedly, and I join her.
Hm, I guess she didn't find that too bad then?
Nope, guess not
…
I had already missed half of fifth period, so instead of heading to class, I went with my mom back to the kitchen. Once we got there, she asked me to tell her exactly what had happened. So I recited to her every detail of the scene, including the bits leading up to the fight and the bits that happened after it.
"…and then Mr Schue dragged me away to the Principal's office" I finish telling the story to her, and as I do the bell for next period rings but I don't make any move to go to my next class which was math. I vaguely recall seeing the cheerio that I had fought today was in that class and I did not feel like being near that girl.
"Well that cheerio is not a very nice girl, and I'm finding it harder and harder to follow through with this grounding thing" my mom tells me, probably half kidding, making me laugh softly. I go to open my mouth but the door bursting open interrupts me and I'm suddenly wrapped in familiar strong arms.
"Oh my God, Marley are you okay?" I feel Kitty mumble into my hair, holding me close and I sigh happily.
"Yeah, I'm fine" I tell her assuredly, pulling back and wincing as Kitty's hand brushes along the place where the cheerio had yanked at my hair. Kitty notices this and instantly looks worried.
"Hey, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" Kitty asks me, placing her hands gently on my cheeks and looking so concerned about me that it just melts my heart.
"It's just my head; it hurts a little from when she pulled my hair" I tell her, waving it off as if it was nothing, when actually it did hurt, and not a little bit. Kitty seems to get this and instantly moves, heading over to the fridge. She pulls out an ice pack and comes back over to me, gently placing it over the spot on my head that was hurting.
I wince softly but then relax as Kitty's gentle touch treats my sore head. My hand softly holds her arm as she puts a little pressure onto the ice pack, my eyes gazing up at her and hers firmly concentrated on working on my head.
"It's strange" I mumble to her, smiling a little. Her gaze briefly looks down at me before returning to what she was doing.
"Hm?" she mumbles, her eyebrows furrowing a little in confusion, making me smile at how cute she looks.
"Usually I'm the one looking after you when you've been in a fight" I tell her with a playful smile, she looks down to me smiling.
"Looks like the roles have been reversed huh?" she says, both of us chuckling softly.
"Nah, you're still the badass in this relationship" I tell her giggling and leaning up to give her a kiss but she pulls away, gently pushing me back down with her eyebrow raised.
"Ah, ah, ah don't move, I'm trying to take care of you right now" she tells me lovingly and I can feel my heart flutter as she continues to dab the ice pack gently onto my head, making it less and less sore.
We sit in silence for a few more moments, me gazing dreamily at her beautiful features and hers staying firmly on my head as she nursed it. Kitty then decided to break the silence.
"I'm gonna kill that bitch for hurting you" she mumbles, smirking a little as I giggle and smack her arm slightly.
"Hey, don't cuss" I scold her with a teasing look in my eye, she chuckles softly but then gets a serious look in her eye as she goes back to dabbing at my head with the ice pack.
"Seriously though, she hurt you Marley" Kitty says, looking broken as she keeps holding the ice pack onto my head that it breaks a little piece of my heart. I grab the hand holding the ice pack to stop her and stand up from the stool to look at her reassuringly.
"Hey, I'm fine ok? I promise I'm fine" I tell her, pulling her into a hug when I see tears start to form in Kitty's eyes.
"I'm fine" I mumble one more time into her neck, nuzzling closer to her. My hands clinging to her shirt collar, whilst hers wrap themselves around my waist.
"I love you so much" she chokes out, making my heart beat a hundred times faster. I smile widely and feel a single tear drop down my cheek, a happy tear of course.
"I love you too Kitty" I whisper softly to her, my head not hurting at all anymore.
…
I sigh heavily in annoyance as I walk onto the auditorium stage to see Jake standing there with a smug grin on his face.
"I got your note, what do you want?" I ask him, referring to the note he had left me in my locker, telling me to meet him here at lunch. I don't know why, but as much as I was against the idea, I ended up here anyway.
"I just wanted to see if you had admitted that you're into me yet?" he asked with a smirk, walking forwards so that his face was only a few inches away from mine. I wanted to step back, away from him but it was as if my feet were stuck to the ground and I couldn't move them no matter how hard I tried.
"Jake, we've been over this many times, I DON'T like you okay?" I tell him, trying to get my point across since he didn't seem to be listening all the other times I had said to him that I in no way liked him.
"You can say what you want, but we both know that it isn't true" he says, leaning even closer to me making my eyes widen. I tried to move away, but my feet wouldn't move an inch.
"J-Jake…s-stop" I tell him, silently cursing myself for stuttering under his gaze.
"You can't deny it anymore Marley" he tells me and before I have any time to say or do anything else, he pushed his lips onto mine.

So I found something pretty awesome. Anyone ever noticed that on a laptop/computer keyboard, the letter 'M' 'K' and 'J' are all next to each other, shaped as a triangle with 'M' on the bottom and 'K' and 'J' on the top? You thinking what I'm thinking? Karley/Jarley love triangle! Yeah, just thought I'd share that with you.
I really hope that you all liked this chapter and please please please keep those reviews follows/favourites coming, I love reading and/or getting them. Love you guys and bye for now! ;)
