"Okay, I just got text from Ryder that The Katy team already ready to perform today." I said to them while looking at my phone.
We are the Gaga team are in choir room and it's been five hours we are debating about what shoukd we do for our Katy performance since the Katy team are ready to perform their song this afternoon.
"Okay, I'm thinking lions and tigers. We'll unleash them from the zoo. Now that's Roar." Unique smirks at us.
"I wanna whip the audience and make them our slaves. Let's reenact a baby's birth onstage." Tina grins at us.
"Ooh, we can float in giant plastic bags of amniotic fluid." Kitty says to us.
"Or we can wear a cupcake bikini like in California Girls music video and we make the stage like candy world." I grin at them.
"Puckerman, are you awake?" Kitty turn her face at Jake who laying his body on the piano.
"We've been at this for five hours." Jake exhales.
"And we'll be at it five more hours until we come up with the perfect idea." Unique says to Jake.
"Okay. Later." Jake stand up from his seat and take his ransel.
"Uh, where do you think you're going?" Tina asks him.
"To the dance studio. I am helping the Cheerios with some choreography." Jake says to us.
"Since when you choreographing the cheerios? You even didnt tell me anything." I frown at him.
"Who talked you into doing that? Let me guess- "Bray"?" Kitty asks him as Jake went out from the choir room. "She is the most vile human being on this planet. And, yes, I know that is saying something coming from me." Kitty says to us.
"Marley." Unique talking on her phone and walk out from the choir room.
I run away from the choir room to stop Jake as he is walking down in the hallways alone. "You betrayed me." I stop him.
"Betrayed you for what?" Jake raises his eyebrows at me.
"You arent go to that girl if you really respect me. You know that she is a b***h and I dont like her and I cant count how many times she tried to prank me." I said to Jake.
"But you always can pranked her back and it worked." Jake says to me.
"No, you're not going there. She just want to let you get into her pants." I shake my head.
"And I'll be happy for that." Jake smirks at me.
"You're dating Marley." I frown at him.
"Yes but I'm bored doing the same thing all weekend. She is such a Katy." Jake exhales.
"Jake... you're not going to plan to cheat are you?" I raise my eyebrows at him.
"Just kidding. I'm just helping out and think about the positives vibes here that I can be your spy to her. That's it." Jake chuckles then put his arm around my shoulder as we both start walking together slowly. "And I guess that you should being honest with Ryder."
"You know that?" I frown at him.
"Puck told me. He reprimanded me, why cant I protect my only one sister here? He didnt mad you told him that but he worried about you especially when he is not around. So do I." Jake says to me.
"I dont know. I'm just kind of afraid if he will storm out but I guess I should tell him the truth before he know that from Sam or anyone else and makes me look like a Big Black Liar." I exhale.
Jake kisses my forehead and smiles at me. "You are the only one girl that I love the most in this earth. I wont tell Ryder and you have to tell him by yourself. And trust me, nothing happened between Bree and I. I'm just helping out and earning money. I wont betray my sister. We are womb mate." Jake chuckles.
"Yeah you're right." I nodded and chuckle.
"Dont worry about that for me you'll always be my Gaga." Jake kisses my cheek and walk away.
I chuckle and turn around. Sometimes Jake really can be sweet and cute and sometimes I wonder if he wasnt my twin brother, I would make out with him everyday even though we also fight every day and kick each other's butt every day but he such a sweetie pie. And I guess what he said is totally right. It's better if Ryder know this thing from me first before anyone else tell him not even Sam.

Back to glee club assignment. Now we are in auditorium and actually Sam invites the whole school to come by making teaser video but there are only team gaga here, Mr. Schue, Becky Jackson, Stoner Breet, and nurse Penny.
I'm sitting down on my seat next to Jake as he put his hand around my shoulder. I'm curious about what is the thing they're going to perform because they cover the stage with a black curtain.
The music suddenly begin and the curtain fall down. I can see that they're doing some kind of theatricallity. And this is very cool.
Sam:
I stand here waiting

"Is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV baby
Could I bear (Bear, bear)
Being away from you
I've found the vein, put it in here

Marley with Artie, Blaine, Ryder, and Sam:
A-R-T-P-O-P
"Woohooo!" I'm applauding and stand up from my seat at the end of their performance so does everyone in this room.
"What happened to the seashell bikini?" Sam asks angrily at Marley.
"I wasn't comfortable." Marley simply answer.
"Get over yourself. You think I'm comfortable here with no shirt on?" Sam frowns at Marley.
"Yeah, you probably are." Marley says to Sam.
"Well, I'm not exactly loving this giant white thing that keeps getting caught in my wheels." Artie says to Marley.
"Yeah, and I look like Siegfried and Roy, and I still did it." Blaine says to Marley.
"It was the assignment." Ryder shrugs.
"Okay, I'm sorry, you guys, but I am who I am and I'm not gonna change that for any number or any guy." Marley protest.
I turn my face at Jake and raise my eyebrows at him. "I didnt do anything I swear." Jake whisper at me.
"Marley, we're all trying to win a championship here. As a team. But you put your personal agenda above that. I'm sorry, but you're suspended for the rest of the week." Mr. Schue says to Marley.
"Oh, snap!" Becky shouts.
We are just being quiet include Marley. The others one by one walk out from the auditorium. Jake stand up from his seat then takes my hand and walk lead me to go out from the auditorium.
~~
I'm standing in front of my locker and put chapstick on my lips while looking at the mirror until Ryder walk to his locker and open his locker.
"You already beautiful and stop looking at the mirror." Ryder simply said.
"I just put chapstick on my lips." I grin at him. "You were really cute with that costume even though I dont like you show your arms and a bit topless." I said to him.
"I cant wait to see you with your cute Katy's side." Ryder smirks at me.
"I'm really Gaga and even if I have to wear my Katy's costume. It will be a cupcake bikini top and hot pants like in California Girls music video. Oh and ocean blue wig." I said to Ryder.
"Still have your inner Gaga huh." Ryder chuckles and push his face closer to me and kisses me softly as I kiss him back. "Well, I'm glad that I'm in Katy team so I can show off my Gaga side to you. And that costume. Sam was controlling but it was cool." Ryder says to me.
"Ryder, there is something I have to tell you." I said to him and hold his hand.
"What is that? You want to go out after this and have a date? Sure." Ryder grins at me.
"No. Listen, honestly is the most important thing in a relationship right? So I want to be honest with you." I said to Ryder.
"About what, babe?" Ryder raises his eyebrows at me.
"That day, Sam wasnt only asked me for a snake bite from my snake but he also kissed me." I said nervously.
"He-he what? He kissed you?" Ryder frowns at me.
"Y-yeah but I swear I didnt kiss him back." I shake my head.
"But you let him." Ryder simply said and shut his locker.
"Ryder, I'm-I'm really sorry." I catch his hand.
Ryder pushes my hand away slowly and walk away with holding his ransel. I shut my locker and run away to get him then block his way.
"I didnt kiss him back." I frown at Ryder.
"But you let him." Ryder simply said.
"Okay what was the deal? You kissed Marley before that." I said to him.
"And that was before we date. And now, you're my girlfriend and I know he is better looking than me." Ryder protest and walk away.
"Arrghh!" I groan and kick the trashcan and walk away.
I know this is really stupid and I shouldnt tell him the truth if I know that he could mad at me like this but how the hell he couldnt get mad at me? Of course he mad. I'm his girlfriend and I let another guy kissed me and that's out of the line.
Ryder's POV
The way Jade told me that Sam kissed her is really hurt me. Sam is better looking than me even though I'm still bigger than him but he is and he is a senior. But I love Jade. She is my girlfriend and what Sam did was totally out of the line. Maybe this is karma because I kissed Marley during valentines. I just dont know what to do.
I know Jade wont kiss him back or cheat behind on me but she let him kiss her and that's the point that I cant accept because before we date, I kissed her and she let me and now I'm freaking out if she gonna leave me for him.
"Hey, Ryder, dude. We are going to celebrate our successful performance as Gaga without Marley obviously." Artie grins at me and wheel lead me to the choir room.
I didnt say anything and following him to the choir room until I see Sam is already there. "I'm not join." I simply said and turn around.
"Dude, our performance was like spectacular and we are kind dig every hot chicks in this school." Sam says to me.
"Like how the way you kissed my girlfriend?" I raise my eyebrows at him.
Sam just being quiet and turn his face away. Blaine and Artie just looking at us. I keep looking at him and want to listen he admit it but his silence is really prove me that he kissed Jade.
"Okay we can cool it out." Artie grins at us.
"No. We cant. I ask you, what do you feel if you find out that one of your man kissed your girlfriend?" I said to Artie.
"Look. I know I'm out of the line and I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I was lonely and-and if you wanna punch me just do that. I'm not gonna punch you back. I'm really sorry." Sam says to me.
"You-you really did?" I raise my eyebrows at Sam. "No. I'm not gonna punch you but I guess it's hard to trust you back." I said to Sam and turn around about to walk out.
"Dude, I'm really sorry. I was lost but I dont wanna break a friendship between us." Sam stops me. "Besides that her big brother, Puck, already warned me to stay away from her. She didnt kiss me back and she shocked and it was totally my fault and I'll try my best to stay away from her." Sam says to me.
"I need time for that." I simply said and walk out from the choir room.
I dont know what to say anymore. He admitted it. And it was totally uncool and out of the line. I'm not a stupid one who will break up with Jade because of this but I'm just afraid that she will have feeling for Sam. Ugh this is really complicated. Literally.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm laying my body on the top of piano and listening to Kitty, Tina, and Unique having argue about our assignment and we got nothing. Meanwhile Jake only sitting down on a seat wearing a lion costume that Unique made.
"Are you freaking kidding me? Did you just see what they did?" Kitty protest.
"I have literally given you so many options." Tina groans.
"This is not gonna work." Kitty says to Unique.
"We need to focus! It is now the day of, and we still don't have a strong plan for this Katy song. And I think it's pretty obvious what the problem is." Tina says to us.
"Because we're a bunch of Gagas trying to out-Katy the Katys who just did a Gaga song featuring Marley as Katy? Besides, we did have a plan, but King Latifah dropped the ball." Kitty says then turn her face at Unique.
"Uh-uh. Let me auto-correct that for you. I tried breaking into the zoo to get us live tigers. Plot twist-Lima doesn't have a zoo.
Why'd we think it did? But I did get us a lion costume to make up for it, didn't I?" Unique protest and points at Jake.
"I'm really not okay with this." Jake shake his head.
"Guys, the real problem is we're thinking gimmicks and spectacle. And, yes, both Katy and Gaga share that but what people love about Katy's music is it's fun and kind and real and girl-next-door. We need to strip it down. No costumes, no special effects, no gimmicks. Just the music." Tina says to us.
"Seriously? I look like a gay Thundercat." Jake says to them.
"Or morely look like Gay Alex Lion from Madagascar movie." I simply said.
"And ma'am, you should be on this not laying there all day." Kitty says to me.
"I will sing Unconditionally or Thinking of You in front Ryder's face." I roll my eyes.
"I already told you to keep it down and not to tell him." Kitty says to me.
I let out a sigh and sit up on the piano. "I cant pretending like nothing happened between us besides it's better if he knew that from me before you, Jake, or Puck, or Sam himself tell Ryder." I said to Kitty. "Okay, I'm sorry. I shouldnt bring my personal agenda to this or I will get suspended." I said and turn my face to Jake. "So what song are we gonna sing? I really want to do Roar with tiger's strap bikini top and leaf skirt then Jake could be one of those tarzan."
"We dont have time for that." Tina shake her head and sit down on the front row. "Actually not only you who is down, I'm still kind of down because of prom." Tina says to me.
"Yeah we are all down." Unique nodded.
"Okay. We will sing a Katy's song with one instrumental." I said to them. "This!" I point to the piano.
"Yeah that's right." Tina nodded as agree.
"Good one." Kitty nodded.
I just half-smiled at them and then let my head down. Ryder is still dont wanna talk to me and I know that it was my fault and I got nothing to do. If I could turn back time and didnt say that things to Sam this is wouldnt be happening.
~~~~
Back to glee club assignment. Now we are ready to perform our song. Team Gaga will sing a song from Katy Perry. We already decided about what song we are going to sing. We are sitting down on the bench on the stage and facing the team Gaga and Mr. Schue until Sam walks in bring nurse Penny. I turn my face at Ryder and he didnt want to turn his face at Sam and I knew this. Kitty told me that Artie told her about Ryder and Sam had argue in choir room after I told him about that things.
Jake:
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong?
Tina:
I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long
Jake and Kitty:
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete
Unique (and Tina):
Falling from cloud nine (Jake: We're falling, yeah)
Crashing from the high (Jake: From high)
I'm (letting go tonight)
Yeah, I'm (falling from cloud nine)
Jade (with Jake):
(I'm wide awake)
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
(I'm wide awake)
Need nothing to complete myself
(No) Oh
Jake:
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end, yeah
Kitty and Unique:
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Jade and Unique:
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete
Tina and Unique (Jake):
Falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I'm)
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm ready to go, I'm)
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine
Jake and Tina:
I'm wide awake (Kitty: Thunder rumbling)
I'm wide awake (Unique: Castles crumbling)
I'm wide awake (Tina: I am trying to)
Hold on
Jake, Kitty, Tina, and Unique (Jade):
I'm wide awake (God knows that I've tried)
I'm wide awake (Seeing the bright side)
Unique (and Jake):
But I'm not (blind anymore)
Jade (Jake and Unique):
I'm falling from cloud nine (I'm wide awake)
Unique:
It was out the blue, I'm
Jake and Tina:
Crashing from the high
Kitty with Jade and Jake (Unique):
You know I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm ready to go, I'm)
Jake and Tina:
I'm falling from cloud nine
Jade, Jake, Kitty, Tina, and Unique:
I'm wide awake
"Alright." Mr. Schue mumbled and standing from his seat and applauding as the others following him and give applause for us.
I cant hold it. This is song is way too sad for me. I stand up from my seat and walk away from the auditorium. I dont care if Mr. Schue is going to suspend me whatsoever. I dont care with that. I just wanna be alone right now.
I turn my way to the gymnasium and sit down on the bleachers alone and looking at the girls basketball team having their practice.
"You cant just ran away from the choir room like that." Kitty suddenly sit down next to me.
"I just wanna be alone, Kitty." I said without looking at her.
"What about we have sleepover in my home tonight? Only both of us no other girls, no boys, and I dont have any brother or sister so no one would disturb us." Kitty takes my hand and stand up from her seat.
"Kitty not now." I let out a sigh.
"Come on. No excuses. Besides my house only two blocks away from Ryder's house and I guess we can go to his house and you can do anything you want to do to him." Kitty says to me and walk lead me.
I roll my eyes and exhales. Kitty really scared me when she become nice like this. She is not like Kitty supposed to be but at least I got someone to trust now. And having sleepover is kinda cool since Jake said that he wanna have a date with Marley tonight in our house.
~~~~
Kitty and I walk together and holding two grocery bags from supermarket around her. We already changed our clothes and we arent wearing our cheerios uniform anymore.
We both keep walking until we passed Ryder's house. I stop my way and I turn my face to his house and looking at his window. The curtain close his window.
"You wanna come?" Kitty asks me.
I turn my face to Ryder's house again and shake my head. "No." I shake my head and continue walking.
I know that Ryder must be dont wanna meet me. Even at school he always trying to avoiding me and he doesnt wanna talk to me. I dont know how many times I have to apologize to him.
Ryder's POV
I'm sitting down in front of my table and looking at my window. It's been two days Jade and I arent talk. Well, I'm the one who ignore her actually since she is always trying to call me or text me but I never answer that.
I keep looking at my window until I see two shadows of two girls are standing in front of my house. I stand up from my seat looking at the window. I can see what's outside but the outside cant see from my window.
Jade and Kitty are standing in front of my house. Kitty is busy eating ice cream and Jade just looking at my house and half-smiled then Kitty says something to her and she just shakes her head and go back walking passed my house.
They must be have sleepover together or doing something in Kitty's house since her house only two blocks away from my house. And I see they're holding grocery bags and they have to passed my house to get to the supermarket.
I let out a sigh and jump to my bed. I dont know what to do. I miss Jade like crazy but my heart is still feels wrong knowing that Sam kissed her and she let him. I'm lost. I miss my amazing girlfriend but I got nothing to do.
