Glee Since You've been around (Ryder Lynn gay fanfiction)

Chapter 2

Ryder's POV

It felt weird stepping into the halls of McKinley again after so long. The smell of the bleached floors and newly painted wall hit me like a brick wall. This is McKinley. The place of so much heart ache last year, my home McKinley high. The whole place was now state of the art. Finger print detecting lockers, marble floors, modern art pieces mounted on the walls, quotes painted on lockers and walls. A voice echoed from the flat screens which were located ever ten meters along the corridor, an unfamiliar voice. A voice with a slight Texan accent.

"Welcome students of McKinley high. This year promises to be a turning point for all of us. We hope that the new facilities and classes available will be a benefit to all" the person announced. I turned around to the sound of screaming. Both Kitty and Marley jumped and hugged me. Kitty in a Jack Wills hoody, jeans and white trainers. Marley in a dress top, leggings and converses. With the usual top hat.

"Hey guys" I laughed wrapping my arms around each of them. They both returned to the floor.

"How long have you two been here?" I asked looking around the corridor.

"We've been trying to find our way around for a quarter of an hour" Marley explained handing me a piece of paper with the new site map on. There were a hell of a lot more classrooms.

"The school is at least four times bigger" I gasped. How did they find the money to do this? Marley giggled, I loved Marley's giggle. No, Marley was with Jake I need to stop thinking about her. She blushed slightly and turned her head. Oh shit I was staring wasn't I? I shook my head and turned away. We began down the hallway.

"Kitty why aren't you in uniform?" I enquired looking up and down Kitty's body.

"New uniforms don't get in until this afternoon so I don't have it yet. I have tryouts this morning anyway. I need a whole new squad" Kitty explained, she didn't have the same bitchy threatening effect as usual.

"Juniors need to be in the meeting hall for first period by the way" Marley mentioned. Kitty sighed and put her hand on her forehead.

"First period is in five minutes" Kitty moaned. Shit, we needed to find the meeting hall quickly.

We reached the meeting hall a couple of minutes a late but the meeting hadn't started yet. The meeting hall was all shiny wooden flooring, a wooden stage at the front of the room a balcony above the entrance at the back of the room. In fact, it looked like you could fit a couple of double decker buses in here. There were blue plastic chairs going along in rows. There were at least 60 new Junior students.

"Holy crap there are a lot more students" I gasped. I saw another familiar face, Jake Puckerman. I walked over to him and cleared my throat. He turned around and his face lit up.

"Dude where have you been all summer?" Jake asked giving me a tight bear hug.

"LA, London then Arizona" I laughed as I recited my whole summer chronologically.

"Have you met the new vice?" Jake enquired looking around the meeting hall.

"No" I replied flatly.

"He supposably brought along all of this new high tech facilities shit and new class teachers and course outlines" Jake responded as we both took one of the many blue plastic chairs. Jake on my left and an empty seat on my right.

"Welcome back Juniors" a voice boomed from the front stage. All heads turned in that direction. Principal Figgins, a man with Jeans and a sports jacket on and Mr Shue. The man in the sports jacket was speaking, he was the man with the Texan accent.

"We hope that the new courses available will be a benefit to you. New students to socialise with and a new state of the art campus at your fingertips" the man boomed.

"I'm Vice Principal Boomer" Boomer introduced. I could see a lot of confused faces. A door slammed shut at the back of the room. A boy with brown hair which flicked at the tips, piercing green eyes, lush red lips and slightly rosy cheeks. He was kind of fit as well and he was dressed like a man whore. Tight black skinny jeans, a tight white t-shirt with a chequered green shirt over it with the sleeves rolled up, brown converses, black raybands, a necklace with a medallion on it and a bracelet with something etched in that I couldn't see. He took a seat next to me, throwing his satchel bag at my feat. His body spray was intoxicating.

"Mr James why do you think it's acceptable to be late?" Boomer asked giving a death glare to the boy.

"Well, I don't really want to say that I'm hungover but you're giving me no other choice bro" he retorted. There was an echo of laughter running through the room.

"My office after this meeting Mr James" Boomer sighed shaking his head.

"It's actually James Evans" he

corrected. Laughter filled the room again. Boomer went on to a speech about class unity. I leaned over to the boy.

"How does Boomer know you already?" I enquired. The boy turned his head to look at me.

"He followed me from New York" he replied taking off his sunglasses. I could tell he was hung over now. His face was pale, his pupils were massive and his eyes were awful.

"He followed you from New York?" I chuckled.

"Yeah problem?" he snapped giving me a death glare. I turned away from the boy. Jake laughed quietly.

"Now we have had to reassign form groups so check your name on the list at the back of the room, then continue to your allocated home rooms" Boomer explained. The boy stuck his hand in the air.

"What Mr James Evans?" Boomer enquired sighing.

"I am not being in the stoners form again" the boy shouted.

"Ridley!" Mr Boomer snapped in the tone of a warning.

"Just saying dude, don't have a cow" Ridley retorted. The hall started laughing again. Boomer went bright red.

"My office now" Boomer growled.

"Do you know where his office is?" I asked him.

"You as well" Boomer snapped staring me down. The bell rang overhead. Ridley jumped out o his seat. I followed.

Boomer's office reminded me a lot of a torture chamber. Or at least my version of a torture chamber. Old magazine articles, bookshelves, old spice lingering. Boomer was sat sharpening pencils at his desk. I was on the other side of the desk sweating bullets and Ridley was leaning back in his chair with his feet on Boomer's desk.

"Ridley which detention would you prefer this time. I don't think we've tried the drama club rehearsal detention yet, I've seen the drama club it really would be a punishment watching them for an hour" Boomer announced breaking the silence. Ridley shrugged his shoulders.

"As long as it's not an art club detention I'm fine with it" Ridley moaned. They seemed so calm and casual about this, like it had happened many times before.

"Well then this time I will make you do a glee club detention. Mr Lynn here can show you the way" Boomer laughed.

"Oh please like I'm gonna join a second rate glee club" Ridley sneered. What did he mean second rate?

"Second rate?" I shrieked. He moved his head slightly in my direction and gave me a tired look.

"Go" Boomer laughed. Ridley got out his chair and walked to the door. His shirt was shorter at the back. He had 'Go all night' written on the bottom of his back in wavy letters. I stared at it for a couple of seconds before following him out the door.
