Hungry

[melody evans.]

Melody was taking a stroll through the crowded halls of McKinley High.She always had a method in annoying the crap out of people.It's safe to say walking extremely slow and careening through the halls can agitate a few people.If people did manage to get past her,she would receive irritated glances from the students who seemed to be in a rush to class.That's when she realized that she didn't want to go to class.Logical,isn't it?Ditching is always fun.

Where would I like to go?......The cafe is a pretty chill place to hang.There's food and a bunch of people I can hang with.Melody didn't argue with her decision.Missing breakfast can really have an effect on people.

Melody floated her way to cafe in a much faster pace.She assumed that if her stomach decided to perform a medley of its own,she must be starving.The beautiful double doors of the cafe stood in front of her,separating her from the food.When she was going to walk through the doors,she stopped.She couldn't just walk in.It had to be a spectacular and awesome entrance.That's where she thought of something.Melody took a couple of steps away from the door and stared back at it,concentrating.She ran towards the door, did running kick and aimed for a door.She missed.Her high heel boots hit the wall beside the door.The impact rebounded causing her to fall flat on her butt.A few courteous students walked past her,pointing and laughing.Two damn doors.I missed BOTH of them!Smooth Melody,smooth.Failure never stopped her.She is as hard-headed as a child.Melody positioned herself for take two.She ran,performing a running kick at the door.Success.The helpless door swung back,possibly hitting on innocent bystander.Melody walked into the cafe with confidence and hunger.Only a few people noticed her entrance but was quickly back into their own gossip.Melody was slightly offended with the lack of enthusiasm from her peers but once her stomach roared at her,she put her disappointment aside.

Tacos?Yum!Tacos is Melody's favorite food. So when she saw them,she forgot about her incident a few seconds ago.Her hand reached for the biggest on on the rack and heard towards a table.Dang it.Almost forgot the salsa picante!She was still on the lunch line and was walking towards a table until she forgot about the salsa.However,she didn't turn back.One of the jocks was walking towards her with a devious smirk on his face.Oh, heck no!I hope he isn't going to do what I think he is going to do.This is a new Dolce and Gabbana shirt,bought at full price!Melody hesitated.Bad idea.The football player knocked the tray so high in the air the taco's condiments rained on her hair and down her shirt.Try to be optimistic....good thing I forgot the salsa.Without turning around,she reached for another taco.With all the confidence she could muster,she walked towards an empty table,trying to ignore all the laughter and comments.Melody let her tray fall on the table and slumped down on the chair.

Why are they doing this to me?Just because I'm in glee club?What morons!Glee club is the only extracurricular activity she signed up for at McKinley and she loved it.She didn't,however,sign up for slushes,food and any other edible goodies plummeting at her.Melody regretted ditching.She sulked there while trying to remove the grated cheese out of her hair.She didn't feel too hungry anymore.

Backpack slung over his shoulder Micah walked down the hallway to his locker. His fingers dialed the combination before it popped open and he was able to exchange some books for the brown sack that held his lunch. For nearly his entire high school career he'd been bringing his lunch from home, rather than stand in line for whatever was being served that day. Sure a few people made fun of his brown bag, asking if 'mommy left a note in there for him,' but he didn't care, it saved him time.

Pushing the doors to the cafeteria open his eyes scanned. What he saw was the usual. Certain groups sat together, such as the football players and the cheerios, then there were those groups that seemed to be a little more integrated, such as the choir and the theatre kids. Of course some kids that didn't really belong to a group found themselves mixed in everywhere. Micah had always been one of those kids. Sure, he was in the jazz band, but he'd found over the years that he had things in common with almost all the others, so it was never hard for him to find something to talk about with someone.

A table had been spotted and he was walking toward it, when he happened to catch something from the corner of his eye. One of those stupid jocks messing with glee kid again. It was pathetic really how much they seemed to hate something because it was different. Biting his lip he shook his head as he watched the girl walk to a table. Walking over he set his lunch on the table and his backpack underneath the table.
"Don't let them get to ya"
he smiled as he sat down
"If ya want I can go beat him up for ya"
a chuckle followed. Micah was sure he'd get his ass whooped, but he'd try anyway

<sup>Melody continued to pry the condiments off her.She gave up on her hair when she squeezed a piece of cheese onto her hair.Failure.Various
items from the taco fell down her shirt.She can attempt to get rid of stuff from there.She shoved her hand down her shirt with no shame.Shocked glances from the students in cafe drowned her.Melody tried her best to ignore their stares.It worked well enough for her.Melody accomplished to remove a large amount of items from her shirt.

Oh god!The pieces of tomatoes is running down my stomach! She cringed at the feeling of the slimy pieces sliding down her abdomen.She shook the torso part of her shirt until all of the bits of tomatoes fell.The sticky trail of tomato goop was still there so she reached out to her tray for napkins.DAMMIT!!I forgot to get napkins!Can't I do anything right?

Just as she was going to get some napkins,a young man set a brown paper bag on her table and spoke to her.“Don't let them get to ya.If ya want I can beat him up for ya.Melody smiled at his offer."I'm not that cruel.That guy will kick your ass then eat you up.Melody laughed for the first time being in this cafe today.When she realized what she said,she started to feel a bit guilty.Wait,w-what I meant w-was that...he's a big tough monster dude ...and you seem much smaller.I-I mean..I bet you're a strong body builder,or something...and.."Melody,shut up.She mentally slapped herself.No,she mentally kick her ass.As she tried to hide her embaressment,she decided to actually take a look at the young man.Her hazel eyes ran across his face,analyzing him.He looked quite familiar but she couldn't think from where.After what happened,it's possibly for her to forget her own name."You're in the jazz band?"Her confidence is slowly declining.Hopefully she got something right,even though she said more as a question than a statement.</sup>

Her reaction to his offer couldn't help but make him laugh. She was probably right, the other boy probably would have kicked his ass, of course, any sort of fighting would have been bad for his heart. Then this could have lead to either a trip to the nurse's office or even the hospital depending on how bad things got. She'd stopped talking for a moment and he could feel her eyes running across him. When someone did this to someone else, Micah figured they were doing one of two things. They were either trying to figure out if they recognized the person or taking in their features to see whether or not they found them attractive.

"Yeah I'm in the jazz band"
he nodded his head as she asked him. Not knowing if he was in the band or not wasn't something he was going to hold against her. It had only been lately that the glee kids had even learned his name, all except Artie who'd been the one to get him and the others to play. The glee kids had enough drama to deal with, not to mention the constant slushie facials to worry about the names of the kids in the jazz band.

It might have been a little difficult for them to pick him out anyway as he didn't just play one instrument. There were some days when he'd play keyboard, some where he'd play guitar, and still others bass. This all depended on if someone was gone that day, or if one of the glee kids wanted to practice, which song or specific instrument they wanted.

Reaching his hand up he moved it across the table.
"Here"
he smiled as he grabbed a bit of cheese that was stuck to her hair. Pulling it he smiled as he shook it off his hand and let it fall to the floor

<sup>Melody chuckled nervously when she heard him laugh.Maybe I'm not being a total idiot.Good thing he hasn't taken offense to her comment.He's totally awesome already.She knew she has seen him before.He was always hanging out with the jazz band and Artie in the glee room.It's safe to say that he's very talented.He was always able to show his endless talent on many different instruments.

Her eyes went from his face to his hand which was approaching her.Past memories told her to back away or defend herself.However,when she realized the direction in which his hand was going,she relaxed.She returned her gaze to him, smiling.Melody watched as he took the strand of cheese off her and dropped it to the ground.Aw.What a sweetheart.Melody's confidence took the best of her when reached out to his medium- length hair.She played with the ends of his hair as if she was trying to get something out of his hair."I know there isn't any sort of condiments in your hair.I was just tempted to do this too." She gave him a smile and a playful wink.Her smile soon faded away when she realized something."Umm..I'm sorry but...I never got your...your name.."She untangled her fingers from his hair and placed them on the table.Mood kill.</sup>
