Glee Club // Hunter Clarington

{Chapter 23} 4 : 12

Rose's POV

So Principal Figgins has told me I received a perfect 2340 on my exam. I was surprised that he said I didn't cheat. I was with Brittany and Sam at the time, and Figgins accused Brittany of cheating off of me. Now we have just gotten out of Glee Club where the boys and Kitty sang, 'It's Getting Hot In Here.'

The next day in Glee Club, Jake sang 'Let Me Love You' to Marley and it was the cutest thing ever. I love them together. And I won't lie, I almost started getting emotional. "That was awesome, man. Absolutely a contender for Regionals." Finn says.

"Who was that song for?" Brittany asks.  "Uh, that was for Marley." Jake answers. "Is there anything else you wanted to say to her?" Ryder pushes. "Uh, I think the song pretty much said it." Jake states. "Awe!" I gush lightly as everyone claps again.

I've been taking pictures for this calendar for at least 45 minutes now, and all Tina has been doing is acting like a hormonal teenage girl. "All right, August is up next! Artie are you sure you don't want to pose?" Tina questions.

"Oh, I'm happy posing with this bounce-board over here." He answers. "Hey! Why don't we do August with a few of the guys? Blaine, why don't you jump in with Sam? You're looking particularly cute today." Tina suggests and I roll my eyes. "I'll do it, too." Joe announces.

"No offense, Joe, but I really don't think you want to be in a shot next to me." Sam interrupts. "My washboards are gonna make you look like a bloated white Bob Marley." He finishes. "What washboards?" I joke and some of the boys laugh with me.

"I'm as God made me, dude." Joe replies. "Look, the reality is that we probably should have just done a Sam Evans calendar." Sam admits. "Yes, every month we could see you as a different brand of jerkwad." Artie states.

"Guys, we waited too long! I lost my pump! I need five minutes." Sam walks off and everyone sighs. We're going to be here even longer. Blaine walks off to talk to him.

We finally finish, and are in the process of selling the calendars. "Rose, these calendars look great!" Unique compliments. I designed the layout, put it together, and obviously took the pictures for it. They were selling like tickets to a One Direction concert. Seriously, all girls and they're being sold one after the other. 

Marley and Jake confessed to loving each other, and Sam and Artie are both really happy.  We are currently preparing to sing Ian Axel's 'This is the New Year.'

[Blaine]

Another year you made a promise

Another chance to turn it all around

And do not save this for tomorrow

Embrace the past and you can live for now

And I will give the world to you

[Rose]

Speak louder than the words before you

And give them meaning no one else has found

[Artie and Sam]

The role we play is so important

[Ryder and Unique]

We are the voices of the underground

[Rose]

And I

Will give the world to you

[Brittany]

Say everything you've always wanted

[Sam]

Be not afraid of who you really are

[Marley and Jake]

Cause in the end we have each other

And that's at least one thing worth living for

[Jake]

And I

(Marley: I)

Would give the world to you

I pass

It back to you

[Jake and Ryder]

And I

Will wait for you

[New Directions]

Cause I would give the world

And I would give the world

And I would give the world

To you

(Rose: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I would give

(Unique: Oh)

The world to you

(Unique:

Ooh

This is the New Year)

This is the New Year

A new beginning

You made a promise

You are the brightest

We are the voices

This is the New Year

We are the voices

This is the New Year

A new beginning

You made a promise

We are the voices

This is the New Year

We get out of school and I head home. I am going to be the only one home for a while because my parents have work, Josh has indoor baseball practice and one of Sofie's friend's parents' are taking her to gymnastics today.

I finally got comfortable on the couch when there is a knock on the door. I groan and stand up to get it. There is another knock. I start to open the door. "Don't you know that patience is a virtue?" I question before looking at the person standing in front of me. "No." I state and begin to close the door.

"Please, wait." Hunter pleads while blocking the door with his foot. "What do you want?" I ask annoyed. "Please, just... Let me come in." He pleads again. "No." I respond. "Five minutes that's all I need." I think about it for a moment then respond. "Fine. Five minutes. No more, no less."

He steps in and we walk to the living room.  I sit on the couch and he remains standing. There is a pause. "Four and a half minutes and counting." I say and tap my wrist. "Okay. All you need to do is listen, and if you want you can join in.

Here we go.
