Happiness [Book 2]

Chapter 41 - Somethin' Stupid

2 weeks; 2 weeks of nothing going on at school.

After that week we had of singing our favourite songs, Mr. Schue and Finn suddenly ran out of ideas and Glee club became a talking club for the few of us in there.

We had a couple of weeks until Christmas, and the snow was really heavy. Not heavy enough enough to have school cancelled, unfortunately, but it was fun... and cold. 

I hated getting up in the morning; my bed was so warm and the air was cold. Our house's heating wasn't that good, so I end up freezing to death.

I pulled myself out of the cosiness that was bed and stumbled to my closet, pulling on layers and layers of warm clothing. I pulled on my grey, almost bomber looking jacket and walked downstairs to have some warm breakfast, consisting of hot chocolate and pancakes. Best breakfast ever for a cold morning.

I talked to Mom while I ate, mainly about Ryder the night before; we had finally talked after a couple of days, and I was joyful again.  

Before I left, I put my still charging laptop under my covers, just so it would heat it up for when I got back.

I left the house, walking in the thick and falling snow, it falling on my stockings and getting stuck. Snow was covering every inch of me, but it felt like a romantic comedy where a boy would come out of the bushes and talk about how long he's loved me and then kiss me romantically and we'd hook up. 

I laughed at my imagination, looking like crazy to the people who were passing me on the street.

Before I knew it, I was at school. We were having a really early Glee rehearsal, which I'd gotten used to now - though I loved sleeping in on a winter day, I loved Glee club. 

When I walked in, everyone's eyes were on me and my snow covered body. "Snow!" Angie shouted, running up to me and scooping some snow off my jacket and flinging it at my face. "I've always wanted to do that." She clapped, running back to her seat next to Jake.

I whipped off my jacket and put it in my bag which left me in a t-shirt and skirt, sitting next to Jake, who was next to an over-excited Angie. "She had too much sugar." He whispered.

"I did not; when I'm tired, I giggle like a crazy woman." She sighed, falling back in her seat and wiping her eye. "I was in Costco and someone farted in the toilet cubicle and I laughed." 

I stared at her for the duration it took for Finn to come into the room, dragging a snow covered Christmas tree. "It... fell... out... of... the... truck... I... had... to... drag... it... here." Finn panted, leaning over to try and catch his breath. I laughed and stood, pulling the tree up for him. Honestly, it wasn't too heavy - if I could lift it, it wasn't heavy at all.

"Oh, thanks, Marley!" Finn smiled. I grinned at him and sat down, brushing the excess snow off my skirt while Finn talked. "Christmas is soon!" He shouted. "I'm so going to ask my Mom for Playstation All-Stars!" 

"Yes! We can verse each other online!" Jake shouted.

"I heard online's not good," Finn frowned at him.

"So did I, but we should try." Jake mumbled. 

"Anyway, your assignment until the holidays: Christmas!" Finn shouted, writing Christmas on the board with a little Christmas tree next to it. "Christmas songs! I love Christmas songs!" He smiled. "There are a lot of Christmas songs-"

"Take Justin Bieber's Christmas album, for example," I saw two blondes in the doorway and recognised them as Brittany and Sam.

"Hey!" I shouted, jumping up and pulling them in a hug. I saw Brittany a couple of weeks ago, but it felt like I hadn't seen Sam in forever. "Hi!" I shouted again.
