Episode[]
Last time on the Fugly Hoes
The glee club were forced to bond after Mrs. Clark locked them in the room overnight which is totally illegal but whatever, they came out on top and were stronger because of it. Joe was crushing on Zach and Zach was kind of crushing on him but he chose to kiss Nathan instead. Lily's just a little bundle of anxiety and shyness which is a total bummer considering she's a captain of the glee club.
Maya was Matt's friend for a while but then his crazy bitch girlfriend came on the scene and now she's not even allowed to think about Matt.
Alison came to a revelation that she would be nicer but who knows if she'll really stick to it and that's what you missed on the Fugly Hoes!
Mrs. Clark stood in front of the whiteboard and began writing. "C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T."
"Confident!" She said, turning around to face the class. "That's this weeks lesson."
The class was a lot more together this week which made her smile. On the front row sat Joe with Lily to his left and Zach next to her. But they weren't sat uncomfortably. They were actually all facing the front and looking eager. Emma was sat directly behind Joe and weirdly touching him and giggling with Alison next to him, for once not looking like she wanted to murder everyone. Becca and Cass were sat a few chairs down from them. Sydney, Angelika, and Nathan sat at the back with Maya and Kyle at the far end. Matt and Gina were sat with their legs and hands intertwined and the opposite end of the back row looking more at each other than Mrs. Clark herself.
"Can I just say... before I start the lesson." Mrs. Clark asked, "I'm so proud of you guys. You went from literally hacking at each others throats to being together and supporting one another."
The group felt themselves smiling internally. They all looked happy and ready for Sectionals.
"Now. You're all together which is great. But there's something missing. Some of you are wildly confident which is great, but some of you need bringing out of shell. So this week I want you all to perform a song that reflects confidence to people." She explained.
The school bell rang and the group disbanded ready for the day.
"I know what I'm going to do." Lily said to Joe as they walked out. Joe looked at her with amazement.
"You mean you're going to perform a confidence number?" Joe quizzed. Lily stopped walking and stood at him. "Yeah, what did you think I was going to do?"
"I don't know.. I just assumed that confidence wasn't your thing." Joe nervously laughed.
"Well, it's not now, but it will be." Lily replied, the two began walking again when her phone buzzed against her folder. She read it and her face dropped. "SLUT" Joe noticed her attitude change. "What's wrong?" He asked. She simply gave a "Nothing" and smiled.
"Sydney!" Angelika yelled as she ran to catch up with her.
Sydney turned around and smiled. "Oh hey, Angelika."
"So I was wondering if I could ask you something..." Angelika asked. Her usual fluttery self was now closed off and she looked nervous. Sydney caught on to this and questioned her on it.
"What do you do when you really like someone but you're not sure if they like you." Angelika asked, "B-But it's for a friend."
Sydney might have been a bit dumb but she wasn't completely stupid. "Look, Angelika, I really like you as a friend, but I'm one hundred percent straight and I don't swing that way, not even after a bottle of vodka."
Angelika just looked at Sydney. "I didn't mean- you know what, nevermind" Angelika laughed as they continued to class.
In Science Joe and Zach were sat doing their work when someone walked in to speak to Mr. Cliff. The teachers whispered to each other and Mr. Cliff nodded.
The other teacher left and in the doorway was Emma.
"Come in, Emmanuel." Mr. Cliff gestured. "I understand that it's a new class but you'll like it here."
"Oh god." Joe moaned, slumping his face into his hand. "God no."
"Hey baby!" Emma squealed, waving at Joe. He ran up to Joe and Zach's desk.
"Can I help you?" Joe asked.
"No, but he can." Emma replied, gesturing to Zach. "Can I sit there please."
"Alright" Zach smiled, he was about to get up when Joe grabbed his arm and pulled him back down. "Ow." He said quietly.
"Sorry, Emma, Zach's my lab partner and it's best we stay next to each other." Joe said with a fake smile. Emma simply smiled and moved to the seat behind them.
"Joe?"
"Yeah?"
"Let go of my arm, please, I can't feel it anymore." Zach asked as Joe released his grip.
"Sorry I was just- it's a big arm and I-" Joe stuttered, Zach just laughed and began writing again. Joe sighed heavily, "Fucking kill me"
He wrote for a bit longer and then the bell rang.
"Thank god, Glee Club time!" Joe said as he walked out with Emma in close pursuit. He caught Lily walking towards the water fountain and ran to catch up with her. He turned around to Emma and told him he would catch him later whilst he ran faster.
"Lily!" Joe shouted.
"Oh hey, Joe." She smiled. Joe grabbed her arm and pulled her. "Keep walking, keep walking." Lily just went along with him.
"I need to break up with Emma." Joe said to Lily whilst no one was around.
"What, why?" Lily asked, she let out a slight chuckle because she knew why. But this whole event was just funny.
"Well, he's clingly, and he's weird - like he has some weird friend's and hobbies."
++++
"Joe, you must meet my friends." Emma said pulling Joe into an empty classroom by his hand. Joe walked in to see two girls sitting around a desk. One of the girls was really weird looking, she looked like John Lennon but with a thicker moustache and worse teeth. Emma introduced her as Alyssa.
"Uh, hi." Joe said.
"Hi jiggly!" Alyssa replied, spitting in between words.
"This is Sis Larson!" Emma said, pointing to the other girl.
"Do you like Lea Michele?" Sis asked.
"Uh, who?" Joe replied.
Sis' eyes filled with rage, "Who is Lea Michele? WHO is Lea Michele? WHO is Lea Michele?"
"Okay, sweetie, let's take it down a couple of crazy." Emma smiled to his friend, "He's here for the Princess Race!"
"The what?" Joe asked with a confused expression on his face.
Emma stood at the front of the room, "This week's assignment is Individuality, our contestants must parody a Britney song of my choosing that they think reflects them. Alyssa, you're up first."
Alyssa got up and waddled her way over to the front of the room. Joe was just in a state of shock because he had already gone through a bunch of crazy, he wasn't sure if he could deal with more.
Alyssa was wearing a weird dress, it was a cross between an amish dress but it had a giant slit up the side. She was wearing flip flops and had a weird black cardigan on. She was a mess.
Alyssa:
Baby, can’t you see
I’m killing A guy like you
Should wear some gearing
I’m dangerous For fighting
Alyssa:
With a taste of your flesh I’m on a ride
You’re tasty I can survive
With a test of your own blood cells
Just one taste of you
Don’t you know that you’re tasty
And I love all your meat
Don’t you know that you’re tasty
++++
"It can't have been that bad." Lily laughed as they walked into the choir room.
"No it wasn't, it was worse. I almost cried." Joe replied. Lily just laughed.
The two were the first ones there and decided to sit down.
"But actually..." Joe continued, "That isn't the sole reason I want to break up with him. I-I don't like him. I find him repulsive. He's annoying. I just don't like him. I only started dating him to make Zach jealous. He's the one I really like."
Lily nodded her head. "I know."
"You do?" Joe replied, shocked.
"Of course I do." Lily replied, "I'm quiet but very observant. Plus I know you'd never go for Emma."
"It'll be okay." Lily finished as the group poured into the choir room with Mrs. Clark following closely behind.
"Okay." Mrs. Clark said, "First up with today's assignment is Matt."
Joe left Lily's side and went and stood behind one of the microphone stands that had been placed in the middle of the room. Nathan, Zach, and Kyle followed and stood behind a designated one as well with Matt taking the lead.
Matt:
Call me good
Call me bad
Call me anything you want to baby
But I know that you're sad
Uh, huh
And I know I'll make you happy
With the one thing that you never had
Matt took his microphone out and began walking around the room. The girls were clapping and enjoying it. Gina was sat cheering for her man whilst Maya was just watching in amazement.
Matt with Kyle, Joe, Nate, and Zach (Matt):
Baby, I'm your man (Don't you know that?)
Baby, I'm your man
(You bet!)
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me
Matt looked around the room and locked eyes with Maya, who sat up in her seat and smiled.
Matt with Kyle, Joe, Nate, and Zach
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me
Matt:
So good...
You're divine
Wanna take you, wanna make you
But they tell me it's a crime!
Oh!
Everybody knows where the good people go
But where we're going baby
Ain't no such word as no!
Matt with Kyle, Joe, Nate, and Zach (Matt):
Baby, I'm your man (Don't you know that?)
Baby, I'm your man
(You bet!)
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me (Come on baby!)
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
(Yeah)
Do it with me (Take me home, yeah)
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me (Please don't leave me here)
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me (To do it on my own)
As the boys sang Angelika couldn't help but watch Nate, even with a serious condition he could still perform. He was quite adorable as well. Angelika had to stop herself before it was obvious she was staring.
As Matt sang his next part he surrounded Gina, singing into her ear and playfully flirted with her.
Matt:
First class information
Oh, woah
I'll be your sexual inspiration
And with some stimulation
We can do it right...
Oh
Oh, woah, oh!
So why waste time
With the other guys?
When you can have mine
I ain't askin' for no sacrifice
Baby your friends do not need to know!
I've got a real nice place to go
Listen,
I don't need you to care
I don't need you to understand
Yeah,
All I want is for you to be there
And when I'm turned on
If you want me-
I'm your man!
Matt with Kyle, Joe, Nate, and Zach (Matt):
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me (Oh!)
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me (Oh!)
If you're gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me (Yeah)
Oh, baby, do it with me...
As the song ended the entire room exploded in applause and cheers. Gina ran over to Matt and hugged him. Maya was the only one who was still sat. She stared at Gina and Matt. She knew Matt liked her. He just couldn't do anything because Gina was so controlling.
"Oh my god it's lunchtime!" Maya yelled, the entire room began packing up.
"Don't forget," Mrs. Clark shouted, "Lily's performance is this afternoon and Maya's is tomorrow morning!" The class swiftly left, in their friendship groups. Alison ran up behind Joe.
"Hey, come to cheerios rehearsal tonight, at around 5, I need your help, okay love ya bye." Alison quickly blurted out to Joe. She was speaking fast lately because insults would take over her words if she took her time. She was desperate to prove she could be nice.
Joe just said alright and left the room. Lily, Zach and Nathan were stood outside waiting.
"What was that about?" Zach asked.
"Oh she just wanted me to come to the cheerios practise tonight." He explained. The group arrived in the cafeteria and grabbed a table.
Meanwhile Maya and Kyle were sat eating their lunch outside. The fresh air helped Kyle get through his problem and gave him privacy with his friend.
"I know Matt likes me." Maya admitted, "I just need to get rid of her."
"Okay, let's stop talking about getting rid of people because that takes you from lovesick puppy to psycho." Kyle replied as he took a sip of his water. "Besides, how can you be sure if he does like you?"
"Oh, I know he likes me. That song. He was singing it to me." Maya replied.
Kyle just rolled his eyes, "If you say so."
Back in the cafeteria Joe and Lily were stood in the lunch line whilst Zach and Nathan were sat at their table. Zach was staring over at the lunch line, almost in a daze.
"Zach..." Nathan said, "Zach.. ZACH!" Nathan yelled, finally getting his attention.
"Oh, sorry, what?" He replied, still with his eyes on Joe. Nathan had clocked onto this for a few weeks now. "You like him don't you?" Nathan asked. Zach didn't reply, he just shyly looked down. "I, I do, but I still like you, I'm just so confused." He replied.
"Look, I like you Zach, you're cute, you're nice, you're talented, but if I'm honest, you're not necessarily my type." Nathan explained, "Now, you like Joe. He obviously likes you. What's stopping you?"
He was about to reply when Joe and Lily sat down with them. "What are you guys talking about?"
"Oxygen." "Food." Nathan and Zach said at the same time. They both looked at each other with a plain expression.
"Anyway-" Lily said, before she could speak her phone buzzed again, she once again became distracted and cut off.
"Lily... who's that?" Joe asked as she hid her phone screen away from view. "N-no one."
"Lily." Nathan said sternly. The three boys sat, staring at her. Whilst all was quiet Zach quickly snatched her phone. "No, Zach!"
Zach scrolled down her phone's message thread. For two weeks, every hour, she had received a text that read "Slut"
"What the fuck?" Joe asked, "What is this?"
Tears ran down Lily's face. "I-I don't know. I've been getting them for ages."
"Why didn't you tell us?" Nathan quizzed. "I don't know." She fought back. "I'm not strong enough to deal with bullies."
"You are." Zach replied. "You just need to believe in yourself and be confident."
Lily wiped her tears away. "You're right."
"You're talented and beautiful." Joe added.
"Yeah. I am." Lily said, her face was beginning to light up.
"And you don't need to put up with ugly fucks like that text sender." Nathan finished off.
"Yeah!" Lily cheered as she stood up. "I can be strong. I can be my own person."
Lily suddenly changed, she got up on the cafeteria table and screamed. She then began to sing.
Lily:
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
Lily with the Students (Lily):
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
(Starting right now) I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
Several students came over and helped her jump down from the table.
Lily:
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
She left the cafeteria and skipped along down the corridor as students watched her.
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (The Students: In too deep)
And it's been two years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
She turned corner and skipped into the choir room where everyone was sat just waiting for the lesson to begin.
Lily with the Students (Lily):
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
(Starting right now) I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
Lily:
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Lily with the Students:
A lot of fight left in me
The group cheered for her and began to clap. They were all shocked at her performance. Joe, Nate, and Zach all sat the front looking at their girl who was now confident and owning herself.
Lily:
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
Lily (The Students):
This is my fight song (Hey!)
Take back my life song (Hey!)
Prove I'm alright song (Hey!)
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (Lily: I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
Lily:
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
No I've still got a lot of fight left in me
As the song came to a close the group stood up and applauded her. What Lily didn't realize was that it was now 1:59pm. The group hug ended and her phone buzzed. She looked down at it to see that word. She screamed at the top of her lungs, and flew into a sobbing frenzy, she launched her phone at the wall, it shattered and she fell to the floor sobbing, she just kept repeating "I can't do it" over and over.
Joe, Zach, and Nathan ran to her defence whilst the others stood back in shock. Mrs. Clark helped the boys get her to her feet.
"My office." She said, the four carried Lily there and left the others to talk among themselves.
"So, Angelika, I was thinking about what you said earlier." Sydney said, "I think I could go with a girl."
Angelika rolled her eyes, "No, Sydney, I wasn't talking about you."
"Oh."
"I was... I was talking about" She looked around to make sure no one was listening. Alison and Becca were sat at the piano with Cass. Gina and Matt were sat cuddling and Kyle was sat on his phone. Emma was stood outside the office door, practically dry humping the wall whilst Maya wasn't even around.
Angelika sighed, "It's Nathan. I'm falling for him."
"Shut up." Sydney giggled as she smacked Angelika's arm. "You like him? Well tell him."
"It's not as easy as that." Angelika stated, "He makes me weak."
"Oh, I don't want to know about this." Sydney laughed nervously.
Meanwhile in the office Lily was explaining to Mrs. Clark about the texts. The five of them were stumped because it was hard to know what to do when the only evidence had been smashed.
"Look, I don't have the phone anymore, they can't reach me." Lily noted, "Let's just go back out there and finish up."
The five agreed and left the room. As Joe walked out Emma latched onto him.
"Oh my GOD will you get off me?" Joe snapped as he pushed away Emma.
"But why, I looooove you."
"Well I don't love you. I don't even like you. In fact, I can't stand you. You're such a fucking brat, you're annoying, you're clingy, I don't want you anywhere near me. Just stay AWAY from me." He roared. Joe picked up his bag and stormed out.
As Joe left Maya entered the room with a trolley full of slushies. "Look what I brought." She cheered. "We can actually drink them instead of wearing them."
The entire group ran over, luckily for them she broke the tension. "This one is for you Gina, I know red is your favourite colour."
"Aw, thanks Maya." Gina smiled as she took a big drink of the slush. "Oh god my head." Gina said in pain, "Brain freeze" She laughed to herself. The group stood around the trolley laughing. They decided not to get involved with the drama that just happened. Joe had left and Emma left quickly after.
Joe was now sat in the gym. He watched the cheerios pour in with Alison, Becca, and Sydney walked in behind them.
"Okay guys, begin warming up. I need to speak to someone."
The three walked over to Joe.
"What do they look like as a group?" Alison asked Joe. He looked at the cheerleaders. Whilst they were very together as a group they didn't look all that great.
"Those outfits are tired." Joe replied. "Exactly." Alison nodded. "We want you to design new outfits for us."
Joe looked at her with a stern look. "And you only asked me because I'm gay. How thoughtful."
"Actually," Alison began, "I asked you because you you're the only guy in this school who doesn't dress like a randomized sim. You color coordinate everyday and you actually dress nice."
"Oh." Joe said, perking up. "Well after a compliment like that how can I refuse. You know after the incident later with Emma I didn't think you'd want me here anymore."
"Honestly, Emma is my adopted brother. He's annoying and flounsy and I couldn't really give a damn about him. It's about time he was knocked down a peg or two. I might have not agreed to what you did but I certainly won't hold it against you. Okay, well we're gonna go practise, we expect something when we're done."
"Matt, come on - let's go." Gina slurred as she walked up to Matt who was talking to Kyle and Maya.
"Just a second, we're talking about Sectionals." Matt replied.
"Matt, come on, I don't feel good..." She slurred again "I feel dr-", it wasn't long before she was releasing everything from her stomach. The sick splattered all over the floor, and Gina keeled over in pain.
"Oh my god." Kyle noted, "I thought I was the uncontrollable drunk." Maya watched as Gina was carried off. She was screaming and carrying on and throwing up.
"My god." Maya said. Kyle looked at her. "What did you do?"
"What?" Maya asked, turning to him, "I didn't do anything?"
Kyle just side eyed her and left. Maya looked at the sick, it had obvious traces of blood red slushie colouring in it.
++++
"Can I have thirteen slushies please?" Maya asked, "But can one of them be red."
The woman nodded and gave her the slushies, Maya grabbed a cafeteria trolley and placed them on. Before heading to the glee club practise she walked into the bathroom and put her bag down. Inside was a bottle of vodka and ipecac. She was a cheerio was 5 months, obviously she was given it. She added the entire bottle of ipecac and only a dash of vodka. She then put everything away and resumed walking back to practise.
++++
"He will be mine." Maya uttered to herself before leaving.
"Okay, Joe." Alison shouted toweling her face off. "Show us."
Joe walked down to the group of cheerleaders. He showed them his notepad.
"For the girls I've chosen a skort, right now you're wearing full on mini skirts and it makes pretty much everything awkward because everything is revealed when you spin fast or go upside down - it helps you in every way. And these orange and white colours are tired. I've decided to go with silver, black and blue." Joe explained, the girls looked impressed.
"For the top half the shirt can stay in the same design but these ones have sport bra material fitted in because Sydney, yours were all over." Joe finished and laughed.
Alison turned the page of the notebook to the male outfit.
"Woah, those shorts are short..." Alison noted, "I think there's some bias here, hmm?"
Joe scoffed, "Nope. Look at the current material of the boys' pants. It doesn't allow for proper stretching. Not to mention they're fucking pants. Short shorts provide coverage and allow for easy movement. Same colour and design concept."
Alison liked this a lot, "I'll get them to the coach. Nice work Joe."
Joe smiled at her and began to walk away.
"Actually Joe... would you like to join the cheerios? You can perform, you can dance, you can certainly move better than most of the boys here." Alison offered.
"Can I think about it?" Joe asked.
Alison rolled her eyes, "I don't know what there is to think about but sure, in fact - tomorrow we're having a pep ralley, perform with us. If you don't like it then you can decline, if you do, then join us."
Joe nodded in agreement and left.
Meanwhile outside at the parking lot Zach and Nathan were waiting for their taxi. "So what are you going to do?" Nathan asked, "You didn't tell me when I asked at lunch."
"I want to tell him but..."
"But what?" Nathan asked.
"I'm still in the closet. An-"
"And so what? You like him. He likes you. If he liked you enough he wouldn't tell anyone. And he hasn't so far so just go for it. He's still here. He helped Alison with someone." Nathan explained, the taxi soon pulled up and Nathan got in. Zach just stood there however.
"You know what to do." Nathan said as he closed the door, "Go, please."
Zach watched as the taxi sped off. "Damn it Nathan." Zach looked back at the school. Joe was in there. He could do it. He began walking.
He opened the doors and saw Joe walking down the corridor.
"Joe!" Zach shouted, getting his attention.
"Oh hi, what are you doing here?" Joe asked.
"Can we talk?" Zach asked, he grabbed Joe's hand and pulled him into the choir room. The two stood at the piano and Zach made sure the door was closed.
"Joe... I really like you." Zach started.
Joe interrupted, "Look, I know all of this, but you're with Nathan and I'm really not the type for an awkward love triangle." He began to walk before Zach placed his hand on his chest to stop him.
"I'm not with Nathan. Nathan even urged me to do this." Zach explained.
"Do what?"
"Oh fuck it." Zach said as he pressed his lips against Joe's. Joe was shocked at first but he soon gave in it to it. Zach pulled away and Joe was stood feeling light headed but he was enjoying the feeling. His cheeks were dyed red.
"So..." Joe said, "What does this mean. Are we dating?"
Zach sighed, "I guess so... but I-"
"I know, you're closeted," Joe finished.
"How did?"
"I just know. Look I won't tell anyone. Just knowing that you're mine is enough." Joe smiled, the two walked out the room, holding hands since no one was around, and exited the school. What they didn't hear was the noise of a camera phone going off.
The next day as the group walked in the choir room, Maya was already stood waiting.
"Come on, I wanna get this done!" Maya demanded. Everyone was present. Except Gina, which was what she wanted. Everyone was seated and the song began.
Maya:
Maya:
You're stuck in my head, stuck on my heart, stuck on my body, body
I wanna go, get out of here, I'm sick of the party, party
I'd run away
I'd run away with you
This is the part, you've got to say all that you're feeling, feeling
Packing a bag, we're leaving tonight when everyone's sleeping, sleeping
Let's run away
I'll run away with you
Maya slowly walked over to Matt whilst singing. The others in the classroom looked at each other and looked at Maya in shock. She was openly singing this to Matt and she wasn't bothered about Gina being in the picture.
Cause you make me feel like
I could be driving you all night
And I found your lips in the street lights
I wanna be there with you
Oh baby, take me to the feeling
I'll be your sinner, in secret
When the lights go out
Run away with me
Run away with me
Oh baby, every single minute
I'll be your hero, I'm willing
When the lights go out
Run away with me
Run away with me
As the song continued the group began to feel the song and were dancing in their seats and singing along.
Up in the clouds, high as a kite, over the city, city
We never sleep, we never tried, when you are with me, with me
I wanna stay
I wanna stay here with you
Cause you make me feel like
I could be driving you all night
And I found your lips in the street lights
I wanna be there with you
Oh baby, take me to the feeling
I'll be your sinner, in secret
When the lights go out
Run away with me
Run away with me
Oh baby, every single limit
I'll be your hero, I'm winning
When the lights go out
Run away with me
Run away with me
Maya (The Note-Worthys):
Hold on to me
I'll never want to let you go
(Run away with me, run away with me)
Over the weekend
We can turn the world to gold, oh oh
(Run away with me, run away with me)
(We can turn the world to gold)
Over the weekend we can turn the world to gold
Oh oh, oh
Maya with the Note Worthys (Maya):
Ooh my baby, take me to the feeling
(Take me to, take me to it)
I'll be your sinner, in secret
When the lights go out
Run away with me
(Just run away)
Run away with me
(With me)
(Oh yeah yeah)
Every single minute
I'll be your hero, I'm willing
When the lights go out
Run away with me
Run away with me
Run away with me
Run away with me
Run away with me
Run away with me
As the song ended Maya gave a bow and sat down, pleased with herself.
"So what are you going to do about Nathan?" Sydney quietly asked Angelika.
"I don't know, I really like him but I'm just scared of rejection. I act confident but when it comes to boys I panic because of my accent, and they'll just think I'm stupid." Angelika replied.
"Hey, hey - you're not stupid. Trust me. I know a thing or two about stupid let me tell you." Sydney chuckled, "You're really pretty and your accent is cute." Angelika gave her a coy smile, she then quickly shushed Sydney because Nathan sat in front of her. Sydney urged her to go sit next to him, just as she was about to the bell rang and they all left. Zach and Joe were just about to leave each other to go to their classes. Zach leaned in to kiss his cheek when Joe pulled away.
"Not in public. I can tell you're not comfortable." Joe laughed as he left. Zach watched him walk up the corridor.
Zach:
When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
Zach began walking to his lesson and Joe watched him disappear.
Joe:
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that? Cause I'm yours
We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough
Angelika was sat behind Nate in her English lesson and she just stared at him. She liked him a lot but she didn't know how to convey her feelings.
Angelika:
It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face
But we know this, we got a love that is homeless
Joe:
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours
Maya, Matt, and Kyle were sat in Maths. Kyle and Matt were talking but Maya was too busy doodling on her notepad.
Maya:
When you're with her, do you call her name
Like you do when you're with me? Does it feel the same?
Would you leave if I was ready to settle down?
Or would you play it safe and stay?
Boy you know this, we got a love that is hopeless
Joe and Zach:
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours
Maya:
And nobody knows I'm in love with someone's baby
Zach:
I don't wanna hide us away
Maya:
Tell the world about the love we making
Zach:
I'm living for that day
Maya and Zach:
Someday
Angelika:
Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours, I'm yours
Joe (with Zach):
Oh,
Why can't you (hold me in the street)
Why can't I kiss you (on the dancefloor)
I wish that it could be like that
Joe (Zach):
(I wish)
Why can't we be like that
(I wish)
Cos I'm yours
(Cos I'm yours)
Maya (with Angelika):
Why can't I say that (I'm in love)
(I wanna shout it from the rooftops)
I wish that it could be like that
(Angelika: I wish)
Why can't we be like that
Joe with Maya and Angelika:
Cos I'm yours
Maya:
Why can't we be like that
Wish we could be like that
As she stopped singing she noticed Matt leaving.
"Matt, wait up." She asked. She caught up and linked him.
"So, how's Gina?" She asked, not that she cared.
"She's quite ill actually. She was hospitalized last night, she claimed her heart was hurting and she passed out, after she spent the previous hour violently vomiting." Matt explained.
"Oh my god... I'm so sorry." Maya sympathetically said, "So, wanna hang out tonight?"
"Maya are you for real?" Matt said stopping her in her tracks.
"No she's not." Kyle answered as he walked up to the two. "She's upset, Matt, she just wants to help you. But we've got to go see someone so let's go." Kyle said ripping Maya and Matt apart.
"Kyle what are you--"
"What did you do?" Kyle asked.
Maya looked away. "I didn't do an-"
"What. Did. You. Do.?" Kyle yelled, students walking passed them gave them odd stares.
"Okay, okay..." Maya said quietly, "I gave her vodka and ipecac in her slush. I love him Kyle I rea-"
"Are you insane?" He spat. "She could die. Ipecac, if too much is in ingested, attacks the heart."
Maya began to sweat, "No, I only used a small dose, I"
"Maya you better hope she recovers." Kyle warned as she walked off. Maya knew she had done wrong and she had to come clean, but she loved Matt.
"Hey Angelika, it's time for glee rehearsals." Nathan said as he approached her in the cafeteria.
"Oh sure." She said getting up.
As the two quietly walked down the corridor Angelika stopped and turned towards Nathan.
"Nathan." Angelika said.
Nathan turned around to face her. "Yeah?"
She took a deep breath. "Do you want to maybe.. go out on... F-Friday"
Nathan smiled at her, "I can't Friday, I have my physical therapist coming."
Her entire world seemed to crumble in her mind, but it was soon rebuilt with what followed next.
"I'm free on Saturday though." He continued. Angelika smiled and gave him a quick "Great" before the two walked into the classroom, everyone was already there and the two were surprised to even see Emma sitting there. Looking miserable, but he was there.
Joe was stood at the front this time.
"Okay before I do my song I just want to say that my song isn't about me having massive confidence or anything - but it's more of me having the confidence to apologize to people. I've been a dick to people in here, and this song is my apology." He explained. The group all got comfortable and were ready for the song.
Joe:
Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing
Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
There's such a difference between us
And a million miles
Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter. It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself. I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
And it's no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time
Joe (The Note-Worthys):
So hello from the other side (Other side)
I must have called a thousand times (Thousand times)
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside (Outside)
At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter. It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
The Note-Worthys (Joe):
(Highs, highs, highs, highs,
Lows, lows, lows, lows) (Woo, anymore)
(Highs, highs, highs, highs,
Lows, lows, lows, lows) (Woo, ooo!)
(Highs, highs, highs, highs,
Lows, lows, lows, lows) (Anymore)
(Highs, highs, highs, highs,
Lows, lows, lows, lows) (Ooo...)
(Anymore, anymore)
Joe with the Note-Worthys:
Hello from the other side (Other side)
I must have called a thousand times (Thousand times)
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside (Outside)
At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter. It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
As the song came to a close everyone applauded. Lily, Zach and Nathan got up and surrounded him and the four hugged.
"Okay, before everyone leaves - well, actually you won't be leaving-" Mrs. Clark announced.
"You're not locking us in again are you?" Alison asked, "I've got a rash from that sleeping bag."
Mrs. Clark laughed, "No no, I said that the Note-Worthys would perform at the pep ralley tonight."
The group combusted into a series of "What?" and "We can't." but there was also excitement in the air.
"After the cheerios perform we'll perform one final confidence number. Not for us, but to give everyone else confidence. I've managed to sign all of you out of your lessons for the rest of the day. Go have a quick break and regroup here in 15." She smiled as the group disbanded with chatter and panic surrounding them.
Joe went after Emma who left in a hurry. He found him at his locker, his glitter encrusted locker.
"Hi." Joe said meekly.
Emma just looked at him.
"I know you have a right to be mad but I just want to sa-"
"I'm not mad. I'm just upset. You really embarrassed me." He replied.
"I know but can you blame me... you were really clingy and you embarrassed me."
"I was smitten with you. You could have just told me in private that you wanted me to tone it down. But you didn't. And your damn song didn't make me feel any better. I'm done with you and I'm done with glee club." Emma said as he slammed his locker door shut and stormed off.
Joe sighed and walked away, passing Maya who was approaching Matt. He was on the phone and he was pacing fast. Maya began to slow down because she wasn't sure if she could tell him. She looked back to see Kyle at the doorway.
"Matt." Maya said walking up to him.
"That's great news." He smiled as he put the phone down. "Hey listen, Gina's fine, they pumped her stomach and said she was drinking? Who would have thought. But at least she's fine."
Maya thought for a bit before speaking, "T-that's great. I bet you can't wait to see her."
Matt's eyes and smile lit up when he spoke about her. Maya could see what he really loved her. "Yeah I can't wait."
"Well, let's make the time go faster by working hard." Maya nervously laughed as she brought him in the classroom.
"What happened?" Kyle asked Maya quietly.
"I didn't tell him."
"What? Why not?" Kyle demanded.
"She's fine. She's free of everything." Maya quietly snapped. "Let's just leave it."
Kyle just rolled his eyes and joined the group in the middle of the room.
"Alright you have 4 hours." Mrs. Clark smiled as she left them to it.
The four hours zoomed by and the Note-Worthys were now stood on a stage in the gym behind a massive curtain. The group gave each other a hug and got into position.
Sydney:

Lily:

The entire gymnasium lit up in cheer and delight as the catchy song came to a close. The headteacher got on stage and then announced the cheerleaders.
Backstage Joe was preparing himself for his debut.
"How do I look?" Joe asked the group.
"Oh wow you look great." Lily commented, "A bit revealing though."
"Okay yeah the short shorts are a bit too short." Joe commented, "But I have the legs and the ass so why not."
The group laughed and left him alone. Zach didn't however.
"You look great." Zach smiled, "You look quite hot too."
"Oh?" Joe laughed giving him a seductive smile. They were just getting a bit close when Alison, Sydney, and Becca approached. "We're about to go on, let's go." Alison demanded. Joe followed her and shyly waved goodbye to Zach who went and sat with Lily and Nathan in the audience.
Alison:

The entire audience went wild for the performance. After all they had just seen a huge gymnastic routine full of flips, lifts and other impressive manoeuvres.
As the gymnasium emptied the group met up in the center of it.
"I'm incredibly proud." Mrs. Clark stated, she was genuinely beaming from ear to ear. "Sectionals better watch out."
The group laughed until Alison broke the mood, "So, Joe, you joining?"
Joe thought back to the performance that just happened. How he felt. How he looked. After all that how could he refuse?
"Totally."
"Good choice." Alison smirked with a raised eyebrow. The others clapped.
"Okay tomorrow morning let's meet in the auditorium." Mrs. Clark asked.
In the auditorium Mrs. Clark was stood with Nathan, Angelika, Maya, and Lily waiting for the others. As they came down the steps she pressed play on the laptop that was connected to the speakers.
Nate:
I came here with a broken heart that no one else could see
I drew a smile on my face to paper over me
Maya:
But wounds heal and tears dry and cracks they don't show
So don't be so hard on yourself, no
Joe and Zach walked down the corridor together talking about the previous events the night before. They were laughing and giggling.
Sydney:
Let's go back to simplicity
I feel like I've been missing me
Was not who I'm supposed to be
I felt this darkness over me
Kyle:
We all get there eventually
I never knew where I belonged
But I was right and you were wrong
Lily:
Been telling myself all along
Becca and Sydney:
Don't be so hard on yourself, no
Learn to forgive, learn to let go
Everyone trips, everyone falls
So don't be so hard on yourself, no
Lily:
'Cause I'm just tired of marching on my own
Kind of frail, I feel it in my bones
Won't let my heart, my heart turn into stone
So don't be so hard on yourself, no
I'm standin' on top of the world, right where I wanna be
So how can this dark cloud be raining over me
But hearts break and hells a place that everyone knows
So don't be so hard on yourself, no
As they got closer to the auditorium they noticed that people kept looking at them and giggling and talking to each other.
Angelika:
Let's go back to simplicity
I feel like I've been missing me
Was not who I'm supposed to be
I felt this darkness over me
Angelika and Nate:
We all get there eventually
I never knew where I belonged
But I was right and you were wrong
Angelika:
Been telling myself all along
As they saw a group of people in the distance Alex walked passed the two and barged them, shouting "Fags" at them. To which Zach and Joe shrugged off.
Kyle with the Note-Worthys:
Don't be so hard on yourself, no
Learn to forgive, learn to let go
Everyone trips, everyone falls
So don't be so hard on yourself, no
Angelika:
'Cause I'm just tired of marching on my own
Kind of frail, I feel it in my bones
Won't let my heart, my heart turn into stone
So don't be so hard on yourself, no
Lily:
Oh, Oh, Oh, I
I learned to wave goodbye
How not to see my life
Through someone else's eyes
It's not an easy road
But no I'm not alone
So I, I won't be so hard on myself no more
Joe and Zach skipped the auditorium entrance and approached the group of people, out of curiosity, who were surrounding the message board. They shoved their way to the front and saw a picture of the two kissing in the choir room. Joe's jaw dropped and Zach's heart sunk.
Kyle with the Note-Worthys:
Don't be so hard on yourself, no
Learn to forgive, learn to let go
Everyone trips, everyone falls
So don't be so hard on yourself, no
Maya:
'Cause I'm just tired of marching on my own
Kind of frail, I feel it in my bones
Won't let my heart, my heart turn into stone
So don't be so hard on yourself, no
Lily with the Note-Worthys:
'Cause I'm just tired of marching on my own
Kind of frail, I feel it in my bones
Won't let my heart, my heart turn into stone
Zach looked at the picture in horror. His face went red and he began to panic.
Lily:
So don't be so hard on yourself, no
"What am I going to do?" Zach cried.
He looked at Joe who just stared blankly.
