The next few days were difficult. Finn kept trying to talk to me. Lexie and Scarlett kept trying to talk to me, but it was all too hard. I liked living at Sam's house. His mom was really nice to me. I got the younger siblings I always wanted. It was nice. I stood at my locker when Finn decided to bother me. Why was I always at my locker? I guess because if I needed the stuff then I couldn't escape.

Everywhere I went they came after me. Luckily, I was only a sophomore and I didn't have classes with them, otherwise I think I might have dropped out then and there.

"Are you going to ignore me forever?"

"As long as I possibly can."

"A.J, come on. I know you're mad at me, but can you just come home?"

I turned and just stared at him for a moment. Then I got an idea. An awful idea. It know that it was something I never would have done, before this whole argument that we were having.

"Fine. I'll do it. Now, you have to get to class, so go. I have things I have to do." He nodded and walked away. I smirked and walked over to the one person I knew would make him angrier than anything. "Puck, I need your help."

"I thought you weren't talking to me?"

"I'm not. I'm mad at Finn and I need to make him angry. Right now, you're really the only one who can help me do that." He looked around. "What about Quinn?"

"No. Looking at her face makes me really want to punch it. Besides, I'm not really into girls. So do you wanna help me or not?" I just stared at him. "Fine. What's the plan?" I smirked. "We'll go out for a couple weeks to make him angry, then once he's angry enough, we break it off. Finn is going to Breadstix tonight with Lexie because...well...that's for a different time. Anyway, we're going to be there."

I smiled and turned to walk away. "What time are we going to Breadstix?" I turned and walked backwards. "Eight."

After loads and loads of practice, it was finally our time to shine. We performed and boy, was it good. Of course, I got a little nervous, I always did when I was on stage. I didn't want to look at Finn like I did the last time we were on stage. I was still mad at him. Just because I was coming back home did not mean that I wasn't angry with him. 

When we got back to the choir room, Scarlett stood up in front of everyone. "Mr. Shue, can I...uh...say something?" He looked at Scarlett and nodded. "I know what's coming.." I whispered to Finn who was sitting in front of me. "Yeah, so do I. Let her talk, A.J." Scarlett took a deep breath and looked out at everyone. "I have been hiding a lot of stuff from myself recently and...there is a lot I need to say and I can really only do that through song...which is how we express a lot of our feelings in here."

She turned to the band and nodded.  Impossible by Shontelle started. Scarlett started singing, sounding like an angel, as always. I just watched Finn and Lexie the entire time. He couldn't stop staring at her. Every time she would look at him, he would look back to Scarlett. It was kind of sweet, actually. I was angry with them, but I was happy for Finn. Anyone was better for him than Rachel.

When Scarlett finished, she just stared at everyone. "My really close friends already know...and Quinn does too. It's been very obvious to me since I was younger. I'm gay." I smiled. It was nice actually that she was finally being true to herself. Lexie ran over and hugged her, then the two sat down and began talking. As much as I wanted to chime into their conversation, I was still mad at them and nothing was going to change them at this moment. Out of nowhere, Finn came up to the two of them and looked at Lexie.

"Lexie, can I talk to you in the hallway?"

Her face got really red before she got up to leave the room. I knew what they were going to talk about. Lexie had been in love with Finn since glee started and Finn told me literally a few days ago that he was in love with Lexie. "Do you know what they're going to talk about?" Puck asked me. I nodded and waited for Lexie and Finn to come in. When the two came in, Lexie was smiling brightly. Finn looked like a big doofus.

"So..."

"Oh, would you just say it already."

He looked at me and rolled his eyes. "I am love in with Alexandra May." I scoffed. "Finally. I thought you were never going to say it. It feels like it's been a thousand years before you said that."

"I thought you weren't talking to us." Scarlett said to me, barely even turning around. "I'm not. But I've always wanted him to be happy. Honestly, I'm kind of glad you're with Lexie. I can't stand Rachel. It's always about her. Never anybody else." I felt Rachel glare at me from behind. "You always seem to be talking about me, but yet you never get up and sing in front of everyone."

"I literally just played the lead in the musical. Calm down."

She scoffed and turned away. I told her not to cross me, or better yet be a bitch to me. Clearly, she didn't care. Fine, two can play at this game, Rachel Berry.
