Save a Dance For Me. (Sequel to Love Suicide, a Ryder Lynn Love Story)

Glory Days.

  I couldn't help but smile when I looked at our Nationals trophy.

If it wasn't for the Glee Club, I'd probably be some stuffed up dancer with no friends. Who knows? Maybe I wouldn't even be a dancer anymore, I was seriously depressed before joining. Mr. Shue and the members of this club picked me up and they didn't even know it.

"Can we do one last show circle?" Kitty asked, fluffy out her dress and dipping her head slightly.

Bianca and Kitty joined hands and I grabbed Kitty's before resting my other in Jake's hand. Ryder joined in between Bianca and Jake and winked at me.

"Who's going to lead?" Jake asked, looking around at us. "Scarlet?"

I smiled sheepishly. "We did it." I couldn't suppress my laugh. "2 years ago I was probably only going to get into college because of my dancing, I was failing school. If it wasn't for you guys, I don't think I would be this happy. I didn't know I could get this happy. I'm so proud of all of you, Jake, you busted your ass all year and helped me threw so much, you deserve this. Bianca, Kitty, this time last year, we pretty much hated each other. But look where we are now, I couldn't have gotten through my moms death without either of you."

Kitty squeezed my hand, and Bianca looked like she was about to cry. "I love you kid." She whispered.

I looked up at Ryder. "And Ryder."

"You don't have to say anything, it's okay. I already know what you think of me." He chuckled.

"Alright. Now, we're going to out there and show them what we're made of, because we are WMHS Titans and now Glee Club alumni! Amazing on 3!"

"1!...2!...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamazing!"

"Hey, my names Scarlet and I was chosen as this years valedictorian. I'm really honored to receive this title and to say goodbye on behalf on of the Seniors leaving." I looked at the speech I had written, and I hated it. "You know what." I crumpled the speech up and flicked it behind me. "3 years ago around this time I was at the end of my freshman year, and I had no friends, I wasn't a part of any clubs and I was really depressed. Then one day, I was walking past the Choir room and Finn Hudson and Noah Puckerman and some other member were singing you get what you give, and it touched something in me. This past year my mother died in a car crash, and I've vowed to live my life to the fullest every chance I get. Some of the people you see up here with me, will go on to do amazing things with their lives. I see entertainers, athletes, scientists, presidents and friends. We've given our best, and we know the world can be a cruel place, but we also know we don't have to face it alone. Thank-you William McKinley High School, and we'll see you around."

Everyone clapped and I walked back to my place amidst the seniors.

"Now the diplomas." Mrs. Shuester spoke softly into the mic before lifting a huge box onto the Podium.

[Ryder and Jake:]

Here we go, come on
Alright, little louder now
Hey!

[Jake:]
Lookin' forward from center stage to Graduation Day
Time to get the future started

[Bianca:]
What we leave, what we take with us
No matter what, it's somethin' we're part of

[Jake and Bianca:]
We learned to fly together
Side by side
I just hope the rest of my life
Would feel as good as my

I jumped down from my place, and Kitty and I started to dance around the stage.

[Everybody:]
High School Musical
Who says we have to let it go?
It's the best part we've ever known
Step into the future, we'll hold on to
