I remember going to my locker and grabbing my things when some random cheerleader stopped in my path. "What?" I asked, she was giving me this strange look.
"Nothing, we're just looking at nothing." She said. "I mean, that's what you are." Was that the best thing she could come up with? "Well that is what you used to be, and now you joined Glee Club and the football team… I would rather be nothing than a loser." She then left, I rolled my eyes.
I was smarter than her. I could have insulted her back with things way more clever, but I am not that kind of person. And besides, it didn't really bother me, even if it was sort of true since nobody knew my name; I just sort of showed up.
As the girl left Kurt and Blaine came my way. "Just wait until you taste your first slushie facial. It's a lot worse than that." Kurt said and I grinned. I remembered seeing Kurt come into the girls bathroom with some other girls, with something blue all over his face.
"No thanks, I'll stick to bad insults please." I replied. I then saw Rory and then I walked over to him, without telling Kurt or Blaine what I was doing.
"Hey." I said and he grinned, seeing it was me. "Were able to finish the Spanish homework?"
"Are you kidding? It's the complete opposite of what he talks about. Who could?" Rory replied and I smiled and laughed.
"Good thing you have a friend who already knows what he should be talking about. I'll fill you in later?" I said and he nodded.
"Sure. I'll see you later." He said and then I see him go and kiss his girlfriend, Sugar and I sighed. Why? Why were the cute ones taken? Or better yet, why were the ones I liked taken? I guess I had to deal with it since there was no possible way of breaking them up.
I went to Glee Club and sat next to Kurt again, I didn't want to intrude on Rory and Sugar, so I just sat by my brother again; I needed more friends.
Soon Mr. Shue came in and wrote Duets on the board. I guess I was getting stuck with whoever didn't get a partner. "Your duet partners will be chose by fate. Not by yourselves." He said and that was better than being the last one picked.
Mr. Shue showed us a bucket that was filled with tiny pieces of paper with all of our names on it. Maybe I had a chance of getting a good partner. "First, Rachel and Kurt." He said and I saw my brother looked at the girl who in my opinion, is sort of annoying; I sensed a battle duet in the makings.
"Then we have Sam and Finn." He said and I looked to see my step brother look at the blonde; he was on the football team with me, he was probably interesting since everyone called him Trouty Mouth, for some reason.
"Blaine and Mike" So Kurt's boyfriend who wore too much hair gel and the male Asian guy whose dancing skills are impressive.
"Mercedes and Brittany." I liked both of them. Mercedes was tough and Brittany was hilarious even though I think she is being serious; I can't help but wonder what happened to her.
"Tina and Puck." The jock who looks like a jerk and Tina. The female Asian, who I also like.
"Ally and Rory" I made sure my eyes didn't widen and a huge humiliating smile didn't appear on my face as I turned to Rory. He grinned at me; I really got lucky with this one. I wonder who Sugar was going to be with, especially since I was going to be singing with her boyfriend.
"Joe and Sugar." Well that answered that question. Sugar was working with the guy from my church, I wonder if he recognizes me. "And finally, Santana and Quinn." I don't really know much about Quinn, but Santana likes me, so I like her.
I was already liking this assignment.
Later that day, I was at my locker when Sam came up to me. "Hi." He said and I grinned, but I arched my eyebrow because I had no idea why was talking to me.
"Hi…?" I said.
"I'm Sam." He said
"I know. You're the quarterback and in Glee Club." I replied. "Sorry, but why are you talking to me?"
"Am I not allowed to talk to you?" He questioned and then he did an impression of someone I didn't know, which made me laugh anyway.
"No, but you have never spoken to me before, so why now?"
"Well, I noticed your excitement when Mr. Shue said who your duet partner is." He said. Oh crap. Someone noticed. Maybe I can lie my way out of this.
"I don't know what you are talking about." I stated.
"I saw the way the two of you look at each other." He said. I sighed, why couldn't he be an idiot like Brittany? "Plus, Santana said "wanky", so I know what that means." I knew that it wasn't that noticeable.
"Okay, fine. You know." I said. Very soon the whole school will know. "It's not like I can do anything about it. He's with Sugar." I was going to have to accept that even if I didn't want to.
"All I am going to say is choose a good song." Sam said.
"I picked a Heart song. I just have to see if we can do it." I replied, before walking away. I don't know if he was trying to just be friendly or if he wanted to help me get Rory to be my boyfriend, but I let that thought go as I Rory came my way.
"So do you have any song in mind for our duet?" Rory asked me.
"I was thinking a Heart song." I told him. "Do you know the song, Alone?" He shrugged and I grinned. "Well, why don't you look it up tonight and you can tell me tomorrow if you like it or not." I suggested and he agreed to do just that.
I was in my room, working on some last minute homework when my phone went off. It was a text from Rory, it must have been about my song choice.
"I like the song! Can't wait to sing it with you. –Rory"
I smiled and then put my phone to the side, I was still smiling. Then my phone went off again and I looked and saw it was from an unknown number. I opened the text and frowned when I read it.
"You better watch yourself or you won't like what happens to you"
What was that supposed to mean? That was my first thought. My second thought was who this is?
"Who is this?"
I replied and after about 10 minutes, I didn't get answer. But finally I did and I looked to see what it said and I didn't like it any more than the first.
"You'll find out if you don't back off."
That made even less sense and I had no idea what this was about. Whoever this was, I would like to know what I did to get threats from this mystery person. I feel like I am getting my own personal A and I am one of the girls from Pretty Little Liars.
The next day, I gave Rory the lyric sheet with his parts of the song highlighted, I know sort of geeky, but it didn't matter to me nor him for that matter. He took it and walked away and I smiled. I put my books in my locker and as I closed I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and I felt something cold and wet go all over me. It felt sticky as I wiped my eyes, I noticed it was red.
"Welcome to loserville." The jock who threw it on me stated. Was this school filled with unintelligent jerks?
"Why-?" I tried to ask, but then I saw Sugar and I knew that she must have sent those texts last night. I don't know if I should count this as her warning or part of her starting to ruin my life. As the slushie dripped down my face, my eyes started to burn and it was hard to see.
I felt someone pulling me somewhere, I couldn't see who. Once we stopped, I knew I was in a bathroom once I wiped my eyes and saw a sink. I turned it on and the person who led me there helped me clean up as best as I could.
Even afterwards, my eyes still burned. I looked up to see who the person was and I was it was Sam. "I saw it happen." He started off. "I guess you're an official member of Glee Club now."
"Great." I said, sarcastically. Kurt was right that getting one of these in the face really do suck. "And this wasn't a Glee Club welcome. This was a stay away from my boyfriend warning." I added. I was sure that this was my warning.
"What?" Sam questioned. Maybe I shouldn't have said that out loud.
"Nothing. Never mind."
"Tell me. Who did this?" Sam asked, he seemed interested.
"It's Sugar's way of telling me to keep my distance from Rory." I told him.
"Do you want me to do something—?" He asked, but I shook my head. Doing something wouldn't solve anything.
"No, that won't think anything. It will make things worse if anything." I said. "I can handle her." I really hoped I was right, because since this was the warning, I don't what she would actually do to me.
I asked Sugar to meet with me later. But first Rory and I had our duet in Glee Club. I knew this song like the back of my head, I hoped Rory knew it well too. The duets were good considering they were odd and random pairings. Strangely Puck and Tina sounded good together.
After they finished their song, Rory and I went up to the front of the room. We stood on opposite side of the piano as the music started to play. I noticed Sugar looking at me and it wasn't friendly. I ignored it as I started to sing.
[Ally]
I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone
[Ally & Rory]
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
[Rory]
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
[Ally]
But the secret is still my own
[Rory]
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone
[Ally & Rory]
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
[Ally]
How do I get you alone
[Rory]
How do I get you alone
[Ally & Rory]
How do I get you alone
We smiled at each as the song finished and then we looked at everyone else who was applauded us. I could see that Sugar didn't really like it.
We needed to have a talk about this. So after Glee Club was over, I went into the auditorium and waited for Sugar to show up. I waited for half a period until she actually came. "What did you want?" She asked me.
"We need to talk about why you are threatening me." I said.
"Just stay away from Rory and we won't have a problem. I know we won't know that your duet is over." She said.
"Rory and I are friends, you can't tell me not to be friends with someone." I stated.
"Be friends with who you want. Just not Rory." She said and I sighed. She wasn't being reasonable here. "I mean, we choose our friends."
"True, but we can't choose who we love." I said. "Look, I know you like him, but I can't help that I like Rory too."
"Just stay away from him and we won't have a problem." Sugar said, as if she didn't hear a word I had just said. It is a good thing I come prepared.
"I had a feeling that you wouldn't really listen to me. So, I hope you listen to the lyrics of the king." I said as I sat at the piano and she rolled her eyes.
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay, would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
"I can't help that I like Rory." I said as soon as I finished and she looked angry and just walked out. I know that she knew what I meant and that I wasn't going to let her ruin my friendship.
"I can't help but like your version of that song than the original." I turned and saw Rory. My eyes widened. God, he heard me. He knows that I like him now.
"Thanks." I managed to say. He then walked up to me and smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back. "I guess you know that I like you." I said, nervously. It was a little awkward. But then Rory kissed me.
"It's a good thing I like you too." Rory said. "And don't worry, she was angry because I broke up with her." He said. That made sense. I don't know if it was the song or when we met, but I didn't care. I kissed him and smiled at him; Rory was my boyfriend.
So Rory and Ally are together and Rory broke up with Sugar. Also Sam and Ally have a friendship forming.
