His Wallflower (Jake Puckerman x Marley Rose - Glee)

Noticing Her

It was very satisfying, sensing all the chicks' eyes on him as he walked down the wall. Jake was at Glee school only for two weeks and he had already knocked up several bitches. He heard there was a  singing club in school and decided that he'll try and join. He could sing. He could even play the guitar, chicks dig that sort of thing. Sing them a little romantic tune and your chances of getting laid improve considerably.

The audition didn't go as expected. The teacher, Mr. Shuesterman stopped him before he was finished. Out of anger, he threw over one of the noteholders. As he was leaving the backroom he heard the judges call out a name: "Marley Rose."

He was so angry. He practiced that song for three nights. Three whole nights! He wanted to go to a club and drink and seduce and bang somebody, but last time he did that during the week he came late for school and the math teacher warned him if that happened again. Not that it mattered to him, but he thought of his mother. He wouldn't do that to her. He wouldn't get thrown out of school after being there just two weeks. So he just grabbed a drink from a shop and headed home that night. He watched some new series on Netflix which was more of a distraction than anything else. He didn't really follow the storyline if there even was one. He jogged and did a couple of exercises and went to bed.

The next day Mr. Shuesterman announced the people who got into his little glee club. He saw him hanging the paper on the notice board in the hallway. A girl approached the sign. She looked inconspicuous and yet managed to catch his eye at the same time. Not in the same way as the club girls and cheerleaders though. She had long hair long brown hair, her clothing was simple, definitely not very expensive, yet somehow original, which was made most evident by the cap she chose to wear atop her lightly wavy hair. She smiled at the paper. She must've been accepted. She turned around and noticed him. He gave her an expression that was somewhere between a smile and a grin, while at the same time fixating his eyes on her. He didn't make too intense an eye-contact, after all, they were seeing each other the first time, he didn't wanna creep her out, but it was just enough to get a girl interested, at least from his experience it did. She smiled at him and continued on her way with joy in her step. He passed by her and approached the notice board. With his finger, he went through every name on it. His wasn't amongst them. For a split second, he wondered which of those names belonged to the pretty wallflower he had just smiled at. But it didn't matter anyway, if the club didn't want him, it was obviously lame. It was probably full of losers anyway.

"And one pretty wallflower." a voice at the back of his mind said.
