“Alright guys! Lets take it from the top!” Wes yelled as we got in positions for the opening number. “Joey? You okay?” I looked at him and I could tell something was wrong. “No, I'm fine. Ready?”

Jeff:

When they say you can’t love, I think you’ve got it wrong
They say you can’t feel, with a heart made of steel
But you can’t say that steel ain’t strong
Well if that’s who you are, just a meaningless star in the sky
Tell me what is the meaning of what I am feeling if you are the reason why?
Now I may be dumb
But where I come from
Folks say they’re fine when I know that they’re blue
But you don’t know you
The way I do

Jaime:
Your kind is frail and weak, and I want to destroy you all
You’re a sorry disgrace, to the concept of race
And to logical science and law
But for some reason why, when you look at me I don’t wanna be
Programmed this way, believe when I say
You’re the one anomaly
You might not be smart
But there is a part of me
That’s starting to make a break through
No, you don’t know you
The way I do

Jeff (Jaime)
I never expected
(My wires are protected from abnormal things like you)
To find, someone like you
(When you know everything, it is suddenly strange when you don’t have a clue!)
I don’t know anything, but you’re giving me a clue

I can see past, the, surface
Finding the worth that is hiding beneath
You’re life, and, purpose
And all of a sudden I feel like I’ve run into something that no one has seen!

Aleigha (Joey)
You’re perfect and wonderful
How I hoped you’d be
(February, I…)
But it’s really enough
For you to be just a human being
(There’s something I need to tell you…)
And I’ll know you’ll agree
That’s all we need to make our dreams come true
(Your a dream come true, but I need to share something with you…)
If this life has ending, I’m glad that I’m spending this short little time with you

I’m so much more, than what you've thought before
(So much more then what we have gotten too)
Now that we have got you too
Get to know you
(You don’t know you)
But you don’t know me
The way I do

After the last line Joey grabbed my waist and pulled me in. He kissed me...

I ran out and didn't stop till I got to my room. Joey Richter just kissed me, in front of every one. I was staring out the window when I heard the door open. “Aleigha? Do you hate me?” I turned to face Joey. “Why? Why are you here? Why did you kiss me? Just... Why?”

I walked up to him. He grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes. “I am here to make sure you are okay, you ran off. I kissed you because I, well, I'm falling in love falling in love, with Aleigha Anderson. I wanted everyone to know how I feel about you. Well, I don't want to bug you anymore, I'll see you later.”

He turned to leave but I didn't let his hand go. “Wait.” I said almost in a whisper. I pulled him in and reached up and kissed him. Our lips moved in sync. When I pulled out I looked him straight in the eyes, “I think I'm falling in love, with Joey Richter.” He pulled me into a hug and I felt so comfortable with my head on his chest.

We stood there for a few mins and I felt him move us to the couch. We sat down and I layed my head on his sholder. He shrugged me off and held my hand. “Aleigha? Will you be my girlfriend?” I looked at him in disbelief. “Of corse you idiot!”

Joey and I walked into the Warbler practice room hand in hand. I saw Blaine look at us and half laugh. We started practicing and acted like nothing was up.

After practice Jamie and I when to grab some coffee. “So? You and Joey? Really? That's cute. He couldn't stop talking about you when we were working on the song for my audition.” Jamie was looking at me with a skeptic eye. “Yeah, I really like him. He can make my day better. So you got yourself a boy?” I ask her.

“Well, yeah, but you wouldn't know him. He lives in L.A. He's an actor. He's 3 years older than I. His name is Dylan Saunders.” she blushed when she said his name. “He's really sweet.” “That's nice.”

We finished our coffee and headed back to the dorms, turns out she was two doors down from me. “Welp, I'll see you tomorrow Jamie!” “Night A! See ya!” she gave me a quick hug and ran into her room.

I opened my door to see the most horrific sight in my life. On my bed sat Joey Richter, Blaine Anderson, and Rory Flanagan.
