Junior Year (Sequel to Start Off Fresh)

Chapter 19: Loser Like Me

I walk down the hallway with Haylee. He smile and laugh...until we saw a red cup in Justin's hand. He smiles at me and the cold slushee hits my face.

I wipe away some from my eyes and I look at my hands.

Great, it is a red slushee.

"I'll get you Justin!" I shout down the halls.

You deserved that slushee. You know what? I don't care about that. All I care about is that it was him that did it. Go after him and show him what you're made of: Puckerman.

Why do you try to give me advice when I don't even care about what you say.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay? I think it's gonna stain your Cheerios uniform," Haylee said. Crap. I look down and I see that I have some slushee on my uniform.

"Hey Emily, who did this to you?" I look up, and I see Santana and Rachel.

"Justin," I said and I wipe some slushee from my uniform. Rachel, Santana, and Haylee take me into the girls bathroom. Rachel looks through her purse and she finds some wipes. She passes them to Santana. "Why do you have wipes in your bag Rachel?"

"Just in case someone gets slusheed," she said and she starts to wipe the slushee off my face.

"Thank you by the way," I said with a little smile. "For, you know, helping me with my slushee incident." They all smile. I then get changed into my spare Cheerios uniform. I grab my bag, and I then hug Santana, Rachel, and Haylee at the same time. "Thanks."

"That's okay," Haylee said. I smile and we head to class.

Ryder POV

~*~*~*~*~*

I walk down the hallway when I see something horrid.

Michaela and Rose getting pushed against the lockers by a couple of jocks. I run over to them and I push the jocks away from them.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" I said, pushing them far away from the girls.

"Hey, it's none of your business dumbass," one of them said. I then start punching him in the face.

Emily-Grace POV

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I turn around a corner, and I see Rose and Michaela against the lockers. Haylee and I run over to them.

"Are you girls alright?" I ask. They nod.

"Ryder saved us," Rose said. My mouth drops.

"He is over there," Michaela said and she points behind me. I turn around and I see Ryder hitting a jock. I run over to them and I separate them.

"What happened?!" I said.

"Him and his douchebag friend pushed Michaela and Rose against the lockers," Ryder said. I turn around and I punch the jock in the face. He then falls to the ground.

"Don't you or your idiotic friend EVER touch them or any outsider ever again!" I yell at his face. I then walk over to Michaela and Rose. I hug them. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did they hurt you? Because if they did, I'll hunt them down and I'll..." Michaela then interrupts me.

"It's okay Emily. We're okay," she said. I smile and I hug them again.

"I just don't want anything to happen to you two. You guys are precious to me," I said.

"We know," Rose said with a smile. "We'll see you at Glee Club." I nod and they walk off. I then feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around and I see Ryder. I hug him.
