Ryder's Pov

"Are you okay? What did she say to you?" I asked Marley.

"She told me that I would hurt myself and she was right. You were really mean to her. You should go and apologize." Marley says to me.

"Look, I know she is just another Kitty. She is being a fake friend towards you." I said to Marley.

"She might be mean but I have known her since the first day, she always defended me and my mom. She wasn't the one who told me to do this, it was myself." Marley frowns at me.

"I was eavesdropping on her conversation with Kitty and they planned that sleepover together to ruin you." I frown at Marley.

"Well, for starters she wasn't even there, she had soccer practice. You were so mean to her you need to apologize. You hurt her." Marley says to me and walks out of the girls bathroom.

Then why did she join the cheerios and become friends with Kitty? This is confusing me. I don't know who I should trust but my heart and that said Marley wasn't lying to me. God I'm so stupid. I really am stupid.

Jo's Pov

I wiped my tears away and went back to the auditorium and the girls just ended the Teen Angel scene. I dismissed it because I went to the bathroom and then fought with Ryder.

The words he said to me really hurt me. He can call me anything but I'm not a slut. I have never even had sex. Those words really hurt.

"Hey, where have you been? Rizzo is on in two minutes." Mike says to me.

"Okay." I nodded and took my Rizzo costume then changed into my costume quickly along with putting on my Rizzo wig.

I have never been so hurt like this before. I can't believe that he could judge me like that when he doesn't even know me. I might be rude and mean but I have a heart too.

I wiped my tears away and fixed my makeup. Don't show them any tears. I stand from my seat and walk to the stage as the curtain lifts down.

The curtain suddenly lifts up and the music begins and I'm ready to sing my song.

Jo

There are worse things I could do

Than go with a boy or two

Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy and no good

I suppose it could be true

But there are worse things I could do

I could flirt with all the guys

Smile at them and bat my eyes

Press against them when we dance

Make them think they stand a chance

Then refuse to see it through

That's a thing I'd never do

I could stay home every night

Wait around for Mr. Right

Take cold showers every day

And throw my life away

On a dream that won't come true

I could hurt someone like me

Out of spite or jealousy

I don't steal and I don't lie

But I can feel and I can cry

A fact I'll bet you never know

But to cry in front of you

That's the worst thing I could do

I ended my song with my eyes glossy and the audience applauded me. The curtain lifts down and I walk off the stage and wipe my tears away.

"You okay?" Jake asks me.

"Yeah. I was acting." I giggle.

I wasn't acting. I really sang that song with all my heart according to what Ryder called me. It's enough for people to judge me from the cover.

"Damn it." Jake mumbles.

I turn my face and I see Ryder kissing Marley. I hold Jake's hand and rub his back. I know he must be jealous but he can't do anything since he isn't Marley's boyfriend and Jake totally blew his chance.

"Alright people get ready for the last song." Artie says to us.

We walk back to the stage and get ready for our last scene. I walked past Ryder and I just gave him my poker face. I really hate that guy because he judged me for something that isn't even true.

The music started to begin and we started singing the backup. I just hope that he won't join the glee club, that way I won't see him everyday because that would suck and I will never forgive him for judging me like that.
