A Fresh Start - Glee fan fiction (RYDER LYNN/OC) *ON HIATUS*

Nobody is Going To Judge You

Megan was feeling more and more confident in herself each day. She was actually ready to turn over a new leaf. She walked into Glee Club alone, Monday afternoon. She scans the room quickly, and notices that Marley is sitting in the middle of the seats next to Unique. So, she decides to go and sit up in the corner, on the same side of the room as the band. Once, the room is filled with Jake, Ryder, Kitty and the new glee members whose names Megan could not remember. She still sat alone. Things had been awkward between her and Ryder since there talk the other week. She felt as if he was the one avoiding her.

"Right, ladies and gents. Now I noticed that some of you, are not appreciating others being here." April says, and this makes Megan sigh. She knew April was talking about her and Marley. 'God. I don't even hate Marley, I have no idea what she's like. It's Marley who doesn't appreciate me' Megan thought.

"So, to get to know each other a bit more. We are going to sit on the floor, in a circle. Write down on a piece of paper something we've never told anyone or something we need to get off of our chest" April finishes. Megan goes into her bag, picking up a piece of scrap paper and a pen. "Come on guys, sit." She adds. Megan finishes writing on her piece of paper.

Megan gets up out of her chair and makes her way to the circle. She looks around and notices Ryder making a space for her next to him. She smiles, and sits there. She notices April has gotten a hat and starts to pass it round the group indicating for them to put there message inside. "Now, one by one. We are going to pick a piece of paper out and read it. Then the person that pulls it out is going to explain what they think it means and if the person feels comfortable enough to confess that it's there paper we'll see what happens from there" April says.

One by one the messages start getting picked out of the hat, people explaining what they meant and people saying that it was there's. Unique got the hat and read out the message she got. "There's more to me than my past". She took a minute to think.

"I think, that this person has gone through a lot and is getting or feels like there getting judged by others for it." When she said this, Megan noticed Ryder clench his jaw a bit. She knew. It was his. He didn't like the rumours about him getting Marley to cheat on Jake or the big outing of his dyslexia to the whole school last year. She put her hand on top of his knee giving him a reassuring smile. "You can do this" she whispered to him.

"It's mine" He says quietly. "I just feel as if people are judging me on my past, instead of who I am now".

The hat then gets passed onto Marley. "I'm not a bitch, I just can't control it" She read out loud. Marley re-read the piece of paper over and over. "I-I don't get. I mean, how can you not control who you are?". Marley looked around the group and sighed. "I think this is Kitty's. Although she's changed from last year, she did act like a Bitch" Marley finally said. This made Kitty really annoyed at Marley.

"I'm sorry, we weren't meant to guess who it was. That's like me saying, Marley was a complete naive little girl last year but now she is just equally as annoying" Kitty said.

"Oh shut up Kitty, you only act nice so you feel as if people actually like you in here" Marley says referring to the group. The two continue bickering for a minute of so. When someone finally shouts.

"Enough!"

Everyone turns round to look at Megan. Getting a look of annoyance off of Marley and a look of relief from Kitty.

"It's mine. Since I've joined this club, I feel as if some of you look at me like I'm some sort of bitch" Megan says.

"And, why can't you keep your snarky comments to yourself?" Marley asks.

"Marley-" Jake says but is interrupted.

"It's because, I-I j-just can't" Megan stutters out and she feels a warm hand instantly touch her's, she knew straight away that it was Ryder's. This have her the confidence to continue her answer. "Sometimes, I just can't control my emotions, my decisions towards things." She stops.

"You can finish, nobody is going to judge you" Ryder whispers in her ear.

"I'm bipolar, sometimes my medicine wears off by the end of the day and I don't know what side of me is going to come out. I'm like all of the seven dwarfs in one person. It's why, I like to keep myself distant." She says.

Megan was at her locker after glee 'bonding', she pulled out her needed notebooks and folders when she was interrupted.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know." Megan turned her head around and looked at Marley. She then faced her the inside of her locker again.

"And you didn't need to know." Megan says and closes her locker door and starts to walk away.

"You know, we could turn over a new leaf? You know get to know each other again?" Marley says as she starts to walk down the hall with Megan.

"You know what, I don't think that's a good idea. As much as I would like to get to know the girl who made me feel like a pigeon sitting on a barbwire fence in the choir room. I'd rather not" Megan says and walks away. Leaving a stunned Marley standing there.
