Happiness [Book 2]

Chapter 50 - That Should Be Me

When I got up that morning, I was feeling happier than ever. I got dressed for school in a rush - wearing a pair of jeans and Ryder's jumper that I'd found last night.

I practically ran to school, not wanting to be late for our early Glee club meeting. It was cold and it was early - not my type of day, but the news said it'd get a bit warmer later in the day. But Ryder's jumper was keeping me incredibly warm. 

I ran to the choir room, and the only two people in there were Angie and Jake. I smiled and walked into the room, taking my seat. Angie waved to me quickly, but then went back to talking to Jake and laughing loudly with them.

I sat there alone for five minutes before Travis came in and sat directly next to me - maybe it was a bit awkward, but at least I had someone to talk to. "Hey," He smiled, leaning back in the plastic chair.

"Hi," I grinned at the ground.

"That jumper looks slightly... boy-ish." Travis sighed.

"Oh, yeah," I smiled, gripping onto the incredibly long sleeves. "It's Ryder's."

"Well, it looks good on you," Travis smiled.

"Thanks," I said, continuing to tug on the sleeves. Minutes later, Fat Amy, Unique, Joe and Sugar came into the room. 

Angie smiled over at Jake and walked down to me and Travis. "Move it. This is my chair, loser." She told him with a smirk. He shrugged, a confused look across his face, before moving out of "Angie's seat" and to the one a couple of spots across. 

"No one, and I mean,no one, takes my seat." She told me with a smile.

"Of course, because that seat is awesome." I pointed to it and she nodded. 

"Guys," Mr. Schue smiled, walking into the room. "Um, before we get practicing for the wedding, again, do you guys want to sing anything? I know that there's not many people this year, so we've had less and less performances." He smiled slightly before Travis stuck up his hand. I closed my eyes and sighed - Kitty probably was right about the fact he liked me. 

He stood in the centre of the room, smiling. Finn came and shuffled into the seat next to me. "Hey," He whispered.

"Hi," I forced a smile.

"It's boring over there, I want to pretend I'm a student again," he chuckled, and I laughed too. Travis began singing, and I recognised the song - Sam had made me listen to it last year while we were waiting for Mr. Schue one day. 

Everyone began humming along to the opening tune before Travis began singing.

Travis:

Everybody's laughing in my mind

Rumors spreading 'bout this other guy

Do you do what you did when you

Did with me?

Does he love you the way I can?

Did you forget all the plans

That you made with me?

'cause baby I didn't

He made quick eye-contact with me, but I looked away. Damn, he was singing this to me, wasn't he?

That should be me

Holdin' your hand

That should be me

Makin' you laugh

That should be me

This is so sad
