Ryder: I'm just kind of very inexperienced, like I've never had sex with a girl. As you know...so maybe a tad nervous. I don't want you to be disappointed.

Ryder: I totally want to do things with you though. I've truly never felt more comfortable with someone in my life. Just nervous.

Madison: That's why you talk to me, honey. You tell me how you're feeling. If you're nervous, then we'll take our time together, but you don't have to feel as if you can't talk to me about it.

Ryder: I don't know, he's just always cold with me. OHHHH You don't mean the performance at all. Oh um, sure, we can do some of that.

Madison: You don't sound so enthusiastic..

Madison: Ryder, is there something wrong?

Ryder: I honestly do not think he likes me. True, it does. Still new to me though. Why would we rehearse in my room? It's such a tight space, no room to dance or anything.

Madison: Why do you say that? ): I was thinking we'd do less dancing and more of a certain part of the scene. Particularly that in which Janet has little to no clothes.

Ryder: Okay, good...just checking. I am pretty sure he will still be death glaring me the whole performance though. You sound amazing though. And um, rehearsing has been fun.

Madison: Don't mind Masey-Mase. He'll be a lil' touchy - pun not intended, but dang, wasn't it great? - but we're in a normal and healthy adult relationship and sometimes the topic of, uh, touching comes up, and that's perfectly fine. Rehearsing has been very, very fun. You know, we could always move the rehearsing elsewhere - perhaps your room?

Ryder: So question...when we actually perform Touch-A, Touch-a, Touch me, are you going to make me grab your boobs in front of everyone? Because I am pretty sure your brother would literally murder me if you did.

Madison: Gosh, no. That's between me and you and totes not something I'd want the entirety of the Glee Club to see just for the sake of one of our weekly assignments. Now, if this were on a Broadway stage - even off-Broadway - I'd reconsider, but nope, it's between us and only us, pinky swear.

Alec: What I did was fucked up, I understand. Wait...loved? We barely knew each other, extreme liking I believe would be the better term.

Alec: I guess I owe you enough to tell you but Jamie. He likes someone else though.

Madison: I was young and impressionable and 17, St. James. Of course I thought I loved any cute boy who gave me the slightest bit of attention, duh.

Madison: I can totes see why you like him. Jamie is a cutie. And he's sweet. He's a good kid. And you like him-like him?

Ryder: I hope you mean me.

Ryder: I was thinking maybe a movie date? I know it’s the middle of the week but with midterms being next week, I feel like it’s best to go now before we get too busy studying. Plus less people in the theater tomorrow. 😘

Madison: Who else would I mean?

Madison: You're a genius, has anyone ever told you that? A movie date alongside you sounds like the absolutely best way to spend the little free time before I lose you to your midterms. This is your first actual college midterms - how're you feeling? Prepared? Excited? Nervous? Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?

Ryder: Hey baby! What are you up to tomorrow after class?

Madison: Preferably something with my favorite boy. 😘

Madison: What're you whipping up for us, cupcake?

Text to: Madison

Alec: Yes. Being told that I needed to be a better person to more than just a couple people by someone that I really really like. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, hate it but I've been doing it and realized you were one of the people I was awful to. So I'm sorry.

Madison: I suppose that's one way to jumpstart some self-reflection. I appreciate you apologizing. Maybe I shouldn't have held a grudge for as long as I did, but I was really hurt because I liked you a lot. I think I might have even loved you, but gosh, that was years ago. And now that you apologized, the past can be the past. Thank you, Alec.

Madison: Now, who's this special someone making you change your ways for the better? They sure must be someone fantastic.

Alec: Hey, Madison. This is Alec.

Alec: I wanted to say I'm really sorry for having sex with you then leaving shortly after. I should have been more up front with you and shouldn't have taken your virginity in that way. I was an ass and I'm really sorry.

Madison: You're being sincere? What brought this on?

Ryder: Exactly how I like it :) And if you do, then I just won't tell you. But you won't, if anything you will save me from falling asleep.I'll give you a large smile and kiss when I see you tomorrow. How is your night going?

Ryder: My mom is fast and it's probably because there's not many other chances for her to get to know you. It is a little soon, so you're free to say no and I won't be upset. My mom will be fine.

Madison: Don't be a total liar liar with his pants on fire. I'll sense it through the phone~~~ I'd love both of those very, very much. My night's going - mostly I'm trying to get everything in order before tomorrow, so I'm in the library, working on some finishing touches to my review outline for tomorrow's exam. Super duper exciting stuff. I already miss last week and all the fun stuff that was going on. 😥

Madison: It's a little soon, and besides, holidays tend to be the time Mason and I spend together. Our parents tend to be a little busy with touring and all that jazz, but there's always hope for sometime during winter vacation. Tell your mom I appreciate the offer, and she and I can grab brunch whenever I'm casually in Georgia.

Mason: When you are you, I'd say a whole lot of nothing.

Mason: When you're a McCarthy in fact!

Mason: I was fine with what I got. Yes I'm competitive but glee club is too chill for that kinda thing.

Mason: Nah, don't worry about it. I'll figure something out on my own Mads

Madison: You couldn't be any more right, but if anything, it gives us time to put our acting skills to the test. We can pretend to be insecure about something for the week, but remember that promise we made last week? This is the week we duet something and blow everyone's socks off. You're still upholding your end, right?

Madison: Wait, do you seriously not want to match with me this year?

Ryder: Just talk to me, I'd say come here but I need to catch up on my homework that I didn't get done over the weekend. Talking to you always makes me smile though :)

Ryder: She is, she was asking if you'd come over for Thanksgiving. I definitely get it from her.

Madison: Done and done. I'll talk to you all night, babe. But the second I begin to seriously distract you from your homework, that's when I'm cutting you off. You focus on school and be the model student I know you can be. I do wish I could see that smile in person, though. ):

Madison: Woah, really? I'm flattered. I didn't know I had made that quite of an impression. Isn't it a teensy bit.. soon, though?

Maisie: You will never grow apart from your brother, no matter what life throws your way. But sorry sorry! That's fine, I'll see if Naomi wants to do something.

Maisie: I'm not upset, I promise

Madison: How were you this weekend, sweetheart? I'm sorry I didn't check in as much as I should've. It's been hectic, to say the least.

Madison: How are you doing?

[mcdsmccarthy]

charlie--bell‌:

Yeah, only thing with doing that is that it could wreck our confidence if the other schools are decent

Puh-lease, I know how rockin’ I am, and I know we rock collectively as a group. What could another group have that we don’t? You need to cheer up, buttercup, and look on the bright side. You’re a cutie, and you won that talent show, didn’t you? Your confidence should be a force to be reckoned with at this point, and if not, we’ve got some serious things to work on for you.

Ryder: Better now that you just texted me. Also better now that my dad is gone. It sucks that he came, it ruined my great mood with seeing my mom and Jake's mom.

Ryder: My mom loves you by the way. She said you were the perfect girl for me.

Madison: Is there anything I can do to cheer you up, baby? ): Just name the word and it's yours.

Madison: Did she now? I absolutely loved her, so that makes me a very, very happy gal. Seriously, I see where you get all your sweetness from.
