My alarm has been going off for ten minutes and I haven't moved from my bed. Why? No basketball. It was my only way to get a scholarship! My grades are good enough to pass, but not anything extraordinary, and I'm not good enough in any other sports to be at the top of the team. Stupid coach, stupid school, stupid team, stupid boys. I patted the bed and nightstand for my phone, not wanting to get out of bed and look for it. When I found it I looked at my photos to see the generation of miracles from the manga Kuroko no Basuke by Tadatoshi Fujimaki. Why cant guys be like, actually, never mind, most of the people on that team were jerks. I groaned and shoved the blankets off of me knowing I'll have to get to school at some point.

-----------------------------------------

Once again I was walking to my locker through the crowded hall ways. Some people were talking about the assembly today while others were speaking of things that should not be spoken of... Back on topic, I found someone waiting for me at my locker, again. What the heck! Are people incapable of ignoring me! I just want to go through the day and binge watch nutflex in my misery. And guess what, it was Puck. Of coarse it had to be Puck. I demolished him in basketball and the entire team watched me do it! And some how I'm not on the team myself. One of those guys could have talking to stupid Ken as my witness but noooo, let the girl be crushed forever. 

" Hey, look, about yesterday in the gym. I'm just gonna say you kinda deserved it after you humil- " I held up my hand and stopped him from talking, got my books, and locked my locker. When I let my hand go back down I was already ditching him and going to class. I knew that if I tried talking to Puck I would just take my anger out on him. Besides it sounded like he was about to insult me for 'ruining his reputation', like, no one cares dude. Luckily he didn't follow me to class.

All throughout the day either popular kids or glee kids would try to talk to me, but I was still sour about yesterday and I'll probably be sour for a while. I just didn't want to yell at anyone because it wasn't there fault. Even if I hate to admit it, it wasn't even Puck's fault.

"... Wait... it is someones fault! It was that idiotic, sexist, Ken Tanaka's fault! There are no rules I saying I can't be on his team, is his masculinity that fragile!? "

" Bridget? Bridget what are you doing." My head snapped up an I say Kurt standing in front of me. Wait, was I saying all that out loud? I was sitting near the court outside on the steps, so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice Kurt coming my way.

" It's nothing important, don't worry about it." I shrugged it off, trying to play it cool.

" Sure sounds important since you had what looked like a murder face when mumbling something about the PE teacher being sexist." Crap, Kurt really hit it on the nail.

" That's because he is, Kurt! He didn't even let me try out!" I yelled and stood up. " He told me to find a different way to get a scholarship, because a girl like me could never get there anyway. Like, seriously?! A girl like me? What's that supposed to me you fat lug! Why don't you try running 10 laps a day and playing one on one with someone any chance you get! I bet you're a PE teacher to take your mind off how much you weigh and how you'll never be married, right? Ughh!" I plopped back down on the steps crossing my arms. Dang, this is exactly what I didn't want to do. But then the unexpected happened, Kurt started laughing. I shot him a glare, showing that this wasn't a joke.

" I'm sorry, It's just all of the things you said about him are 100 percent true. I give you my approval and applause." I gave him a slight smile, glad he agreed with me. It was quiet for while before anyone spoke again.

" Do you want to sing about your feelings for the glee club?" Kurt asked out of no where and I shot him weird look.

" I told you I'm not joining, I'll only help." 

" Okay, then help me pick a song and be the lead. That's how you can help me." I laughed at his attempt to make me sing, but I decided to give in and agree.

" Great, so I was thinking you should sing Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani or That's My Girl by Fifth Harmony." 

" Yes, both very good songs, but I think I already have one in mind."

As we got close to the glee club room I could hear them talking over each other about solos and junk like that.

" Do they ever stop fighting over the spotlight?" Kurt shook his head and responded.

" Being in the spotlight for people like us is like being the MVP in a basketball team for you, I think, my dad watches a lot of games." Kurt sent me a smile as I laughed and nodded. I walked in after Kurt and Mr. Schue immediately noticed me, I wonder why. It could be that they still need members and last time I was here they wanted me to join...nahhh.

" Bridget, you're back! Why are you here? You didn't really have any interest in joining last time you were here." Ah, sudden questions, can not respond, need time to think!! Thank goodness Kurt took over for me.

" Well, Bridget is here to sing. She may not be an official member, but she had a pretty rough day yesterday and I decided that she should sing to feel better." 

" Ya, what Kurt said." Jeez I sounded so uncool.

" Well then, take it away Bridget."
