Lover

Mash Off Pt.2

A while later, Ariel Hummel sits in the lima bean, a coffee sitting in front of her as she has her notebook set out in front of her and a pencil twirling in her hand. "Funny seeing you here, Belle," Ariel hears someone say. She smiles to herself knowing Sebastian is there but she doesn't look up, knowing if she did then she would fall for him even more than she already has.

"I thought you'd be practising with the Warblers by now, Seb," she tells him as he sits down next to her in the booth.

"We're taking a break. And I thought that I would come here and get a coffee and here I find you," Seb begins. "You're looking as beautiful as ever, Princess."

"Princess? That's a new one. But besides, I'm nowhere near a princess," Ariel denies,

"Just thought of it. And yes you are. You should be given to the world," Sebastian says, making her smile and shake her head before looking up and finally looking into Sebastian's green eyes.

"Thank you, Seb," Ariel says but before she can say anything else, her phone goes off with the ringtone of The Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera telling her that it's Kurt calling. "Just give me a second. I'll be back," she says before putting the pencil down on the paper and picking up the phone.

"Ariel. You need to come back to school. We need to choose our mash-off songs. Quickly." Kurt says through the phone quickly.

"Kurt. I really don't mind what songs you lot choose. I couldn't care less. Now I've really got to go," Ariel tells her brother, hanging up on him.

"Well, you didn't sound too enthusiastic about whatever Hummel was saying," Sebastian says.

"Not really. We've got this mash-off thing with the two glee clubs at our school and I really couldn't care less about what songs we do or who wins. It's not as if I'm going to be allowed to sing the lead in any of the songs," Ariel informs Sebastian.

"Well, you should be allowed all the solos because in my opinion, you, princess, are better than everyone in your stupid club. Especially Rachel Berry," Sebastian says which makes Ariel smile.

"You're too kind Seb. But I've got to get back to school. I'll see you soon," Ariel says before bidding Sebastian goodbye and leaving the lima bean to head back to school.

Turns out that by the time Ariel had gotten back to school, the rest of the New Directions had already chosen the songs for their mash-off. It's as if they didn't care what others wanted the song to be because it's the Rachel Berry show and she gets every that she wants.

It also turns out that Ariel had missed a dodgeball match between the New Directions and the Troubletones. It's not as if she minded missing it, she's glad she did because she doesn't feel like getting his with soft balls thrown by a bunch of angry females.

So here she is, in the choir room, practising the songs for their mash-off. She's quite tired because of having to run and dance and sing. So when they finish, she picks up her bag and exits the choir room, not caring that her brothers are calling for her.

When she gets home, she runs upstairs, shuts her door and turns on her music. She has always found that music has calmed her down for some reason.

While she is listening to her music, she decides to do her homework but that didn't take up much of her time as she found that the subjects weren't hard for her. It might be for the fact that once she has learnt something she can remember it easily or it could be something else but she manages to finish her homework within an hour of starting it. You would think that is normal but she had homework from 5 of her classes and they were lengthy questions.
