chapter 68: Tina in the Sky with Diamonds

And your skin,
oh yeah, your skin and bones
turn into something beautiful.
Do you know,
you know I love you so.
You know I love you so.

~Coldplay, Yellow

"So how does it work with gay marriage. Do you take his last name or does he take yours? Or... or do you both hyphenate 'cause–"

"Right now, I'm honestly just excited that Kurt said yes."

Blaine was fiddling around with the piano in the choir room, and Sam was lying on top of it while they waited for everyone to come in for Glee.

Blaine then stopped and leaned over, "Hey, are you looking forward to prom? I fell asleep last night while Tina was texting me about her prom dress. It's really nice that you're going with her, by the way."

Sam sighed, "Yeah, I guess so. I don't know, I just... you know, it's my senior prom, so I kind of wish I was going with somebody I really care about."

Both Blaine and Sam looked over to the door where they heard Violet's voice. They saw Marley walk in slightly, still keeping an eye on Violet who was awkwardly standing by the door. She was with a hopeful unknown guy that stood in front of her.

"I'm sorry, but I'm planning on going to prom with the rest of the Glee kids. Thank you, though," Violet rejected the boy sweetly. She tried to hand him back the flowers, but he shook his head.

"It's okay. Keep the flowers." The dejected boy then walked away from her, and Violet sighed in relief.

Marley chuckled, "That was the second one today."

"Ugh. Don't remind me. I'm hoping that that was the last one. I mean that had to be, right? Either no one knows me or I'm too scary, right?"

"I don't know..." Marley's voice trailed. "Some people like people who scare them."

The two girls walked into the choir room, and Violet waved at Sam as she walked past him. Sam smiled slightly before waving back at her.

"You just really wanted to go with Violet, huh," Blaine looked at him sympathetically. "Why didn't you just ask her?"

"I meant what I said. I didn't care that we weren't going together. She wanted us to just hang out as a group and get to know each other again which I'm okay with. This was just a chance for us to hang out with everyone as a group of friends, but then I got roped into taking Tina."

Blaine shrugged, "What's the difference with taking Tina then?"

"Dates mean commitment. It means matching with each other, and buying each other those flower thingies. We'd have to take pictures together as just us, and we'd slow dance with each other. If I'm doing that with someone, then I want it to be with Violet," Sam explained.
