New Beginnings Chapter 1: New, a glee fanfic

NEW DIRECTIONS: NEW BEGINNINGS

CHAPTER ONE: NEW

Rachel Berry had it all. She had the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friends, the perfect

Dad's. Everything was just a breeze for her. She was so happy to be having a slumber

party with Kurt and Mercedes before school began. What better way to spend her

last Summer night hanging out with her best friends? Rachel was dressed in her red

footsies while Mercedes was dressed in her blue ones and Kurt was dressed in his

green ones. They were currently watching Breaking Dawn while eating popcorn

on Rachel's bed.

"God, Taylor Lautner is so hot." Kurt said.

"I know right? Those muscles!" Mercedes exclaimed.

"Am I the only one watching this movie for the plot?" Rachel asked.

"Yes." Kurt and Mercedes replied.

Rachel giggled.

"It has a pretty good plot."

"Rachel, this movie is literally about Bella giving birth to a vampire baby. The

only thing getting me through this is seeing Taylor take his shirt off."

"Amen." Kurt replied.

After a few more minutes of watching the film, Rachel squealed and turned it off.

"Gross! You guys are right! I don't want to see her actually give birth! What kind of people like seeing these movies?"

"People who are sexually frustrated and want to have sex with vampires and werewolves." Kurt said.

"Gross! Why are people so obsessed with sex anyway?" Rachel asked.

Mercedes put the bowl of popcorn on Rachel's desk and then turned to look at her.

"Aren't you a little curious?" Mercedes asked.

"A little bit but I prefer romance." Rachel replied.

"What about you, Kurt? Have you and Blaine ever done it?" Mercedes asked.

Kurt shook his head.

"I used to be like Rachel on that subject matter but it's been on my mind a lot lately. I mean I really want Blaine in that way but I'm too shy to talk to him about it."

Rachel put her popcorn bowl away and leaned on Mercedes' shoulder.

"I think you should talk about it. I mean you guys have been dating for like six months and I'm sure Blaine might feel the same way." Rachel said.

"How far have you guys gone?" Mercedes asked.

"We've made out and we've taken off our shirts but we've never touched each other below the waist. I told Blaine that's what I wanted but now things have changed. I want to touch him, I want to please him. Oh god." Kurt said.

Kurt shifted his body so that way Rachel and Mercedes how aroused he was. Both girls looked at him with smiles on their faces.

"Kurt, Blaine is a gentlemen. He won't take it any further than you feel comfortable." Rachel answered.

"But I doubt Blaine would have any objection to you giving him some special treatment." Mercedes said with a wink.

"Am I a pervert? I've been thinking about him and not in a sweet cute way, in a I want to devour him sort of way." Kurt asked.

"No, definitely not. It's completely natural." Rachel said.

"Why don't you talk to Blaine next weekend? An open conversation is the best way to go. If you're both ready, then I would go for it."

Kurt looked out to the window, back to the girls and then took a deep breath.

Quinn was looking forward to another school year. School was never fun but she enjoyed being on top. People always parted like the red sea when she walked down the hallway and she knew that no one would dare get in her way. As she walked towards her locker, she saw Santana. Quinn approached her with a smile.

"Hey Santana." Quinn said.

Santana looked at her and shot her a half-smile.

"What's up Fabray?" Santana asked.

"Same old. Same old. Another year. More hell to raise."

"Are you still gonna do Glee?"

Quinn nodded.

"Yeah. I thought about quitting but I like to sing and that Sam guy is pretty hot."

"Yeah, he is hot. How long do you think he'll last in bed?"

"Why do you care? I thought you were dating Brittany."

Santana grabbed Quinn by her blouse and slammed her against her locker.

"Shut it Fabray!" Santana snapped.

"What the fuck? I'm not judging you, I just thought you were." Quinn replied.

"Don't talk about it, okay? You're the only one that knows and I don't want anyone else finding out. We're not dating, just fooling around."

"That's cool. I won't tell anyone but I'm pretty sure most people are expecting you and Brittany are doing it, at least people in Glee. No one will judge you in Glee well maybe Finn will but he's a douche anyway."

Santana laughed.

"I know. I don't know what Berry sees in him. He can't dance or sing, he has huge thick man boobs bigger than mine and he's a total ass to everyone."

"Agreed. Well I support you, Santana. I hope you'll start to support yourself more though."

Quinn grabbed her books out of her locker and started to walk to her class. Santana closed her locker and followed her.

"What do you mean?" Santana asked.

"I think you hate yourself about the fact that you like Brittany. You really shouldn't do that to yourself, you don't deserve it."

"I don't hate myself, Quinn. I just don't want people to know that I like girls in that way."

"Why not? It's hot." Quinn replied.

Santana looked at her with a puzzled look on her face but shrugged it off.

"I don't know. Just don't tell anyone or I'll go Lima heights all over your white girl ass."

"I got it, Santana." Quinn replied.

"Cool. See you later, Fabray." Santana said.

Santana walked away right as Finn and Rachel walked in the hallway. Rachel was dressed in one of her reindeer sweaters with black leggings. Quinn couldn't help but stare unnecessarily long at Rachel before she left for her class.

"Let me help you."

Artie was trying to get up the wheelchair ramps but his wheel was struggling to get up. Tina helped push him up.

"Thanks, Tina." Artie said.

"You're welcome, Artie. How was your Summer?" She asked.

"Pretty good. I played Black Ops a lot. It's really fun."

"Cool. Sounds fun."

"What did you do?"

"I went to Asian camp with Mike."

Artie chuckled.

"What exactly is Asian camp?"

"A camp filled with a bunch of Asian stereotypical activities. The kids have to study for twenty-three hours a day while the teenagers just dance around in kimonos."

"Seems interesting." Artie replied.

"Yeah, it was a fun time."

Tina adjusted Artie's wheel so he could get to the top of the ramp and he was able to wheel himself after Tina helped him.

"How are things going with Mike?" Artie asked.

"We broke up actually." Tina replied.

"Really? I didn't see it on Facebook." Artie replied.

"We didn't want to make it public just yet."

"Oh so why did you tell me?"

"I don't know. I guess I was just hoping you and I could maybe hang out more this year? Maybe we could just catch up. I could try that Black Ops and maybe I could teach you some Asian dance moves."

Artie chuckled.

"I'd like that."

Tina smiled at Artie and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"See you in class."

Artie smiled as he watched Tina walk away.

Puck hated Geometry. It was so boring. All this shit about shapes, it was really fucking stupid. Truthfully, Puck had a lot on his mind. He had an interesting Summer and learned things about himself that he didn't know before. Puck wanted to reach out to someone about it but he didn't know who to talk to. That is, until he saw Hummel's boyfriend sitting a few rows ahead of him. Maybe Blaine would be able to help him. Puck ripped out a piece of his notebook paper, rolled it into a ball and threw it at Blaine's head. Blaine turned around and Puck waved but Blaine turned away from him. Puck threw another ball of paper at Blaine's head but this time Puck had written a message in it. Blaine opened it and read it. He turned to Puck with concern on his face. Puck tried to look sincere so Blaine raised his hand and asked if he could use the bathroom. The teacher told Blaine he could and a few minutes later, Puck also asked to use the bathroom. Puck left the classroom and found Blaine outside by the lockers.

"Is everything okay, Puck?" Blaine asked.

He seemed genuinely concerned. Puck felt slightly bad for lying.

"I'm fine. It's no big deal. I just wanted to talk to you." Puck replied.

"This better be good. I need to get straight A's this year and Geometry is my hardest subject." Blaine answered.

"Don't be such a priss, Anderson." Puck snapped.

"That's a way to treat someone you want to talk to." Blaine snapped.

Puck sighed.

"Sorry, dude. I didn't mean it like that. I seriously do need to talk to you though but not out here. Somewhere private."

Blaine thought for a moment.

"Why don't we go to the choir room? Glee's not until the end of the day."

Puck nodded and walked with Blaine to the choir room. The room looked just like it always did with the piano, the set of chairs against the wall and the glass panel with their nationals trophy. Blaine sat down on one of the chairs and looked at Puck.

"So what's up?" Blaine asked.

"This isn't easy for me to say."

"Maybe you should sing it." Blaine said with a smile.

"Maybe I will." Puck said with a smile.

Out of nowhere, Brad was summoned to the piano. He looked so angry and frustrated that he had to play yet another song for these bratty Glee kids.

PUCK

YOU KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE UNTRUE

YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD BE A LIAR

IF I WAS TO SAY TO YOU

GIRL WE COULDN'T GET MUCH HIGHER

COME ON BABY, LIGHT MY FIRE

TRY TO SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE

THE TIME TO HESITATE IS THROUGH

NO TIME TO WALLOW IN THE MIRE

TRY NOW WE CAN ONLY LOSE

AND OUR LOVE BECOMES A FUNERAL PYRE

COME ON BABY, LIGHT MY FIRE

TRY TO SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE, YEAH

THE TIME TO HESITATE IS THROUGH

NO TIME TO WALLOW IN THE MIRE

TRY NOW WE CAN ONLY LOSE

AND OUR LOVE BECOMES A FUNERAL PYRE

YOU KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE UNTRUE

YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD BE A LIAR

IF I WAS TO SAY TO YOU

BOY, WE COULDN'T GET MUCH HIGHER

COME ON BABY, LIGHT MY FIRE

As Puck finished his song, Brad miraculously vanished. Blaine clapped and Puck walked over to Blaine and sat next to him.

"Do you get it?" Puck asked.

"No, not really. But I enjoyed the song. My dad loves the Door's." Blaine replied.

"I'm bi, dude."

"What?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kurt walked into the choir room as Puck left rather abruptly. Kurt saw Blaine looking distraught.

"Hey is everything okay with Puck?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah, he's fine. Nothing to worry about." Blaine replied.

"Blaine, I have something to ask you."

"Shoot."

"That's actually what I want you to do."

Blaine looked puzzled. Once again, Brad was summoned to the piano for another song. Kurt looked at Blaine sheepishly before removing his coat. Blaine's mouth dropped as Kurt revealed a shiny thong and muscle shirt.

"Hit it!" Kurt yelled out.

KURT

NA NA NA NA COME ON

COME ON, NA NA NA NA

FEELS SO GOOD BEING BAD

THERE'S NO WAY I'M TURNING BACK

NOW THE PAIN IS MY PLEASURE

CAUSE NOTHING CAN MEASURE

LOVE IS GREAT, LOVE IS FINE

OUT THE BOX, OUTTA LINE

THE AFFLICTION OF THE FEAR LEAVES ME WANTING MORE

CAUSE I MAY BE BAD BUT I'M PERFECTLY GOOD AT IT

SEX IN THE AIR I DON'T CARE I LOVE THE SMELL OF IT

STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES

BUT CHAINS AND WHIPS EXCITE ME

S, S, S AND M, M, M

OH I LOVE THE FEELING YOU BRING TO ME

GIVE IT TO ME STRONG

AND MEET ME IN MY BOUDOIR

MAKE MY BODY SAY OH OH OH OH

I LIKE IT, LIKE IT

S, S, S AND M, M, M

Brad vanished once again. Kurt finished his dancing and looked at Blaine. Blaine stood up seemingly embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Kurt. I have to go."

Blaine ran out of the room.

"Blaine! Wait!" Kurt yelled after him.

It was common knowledge that Finn was a shitty boyfriend. Rachel had wanted Finn to accompany her to a Broadway show over the Summer but he lied to her and said he had to see his dying grandmother when in reality, he just wanted to ditch so he could play Call of Duty. Kurt had spilled the beans on him. It was also Rachel's birthday today and although Finn remembered, he didn't get her what she wanted. Rachel had asked for a 16-pack of Fiji water which would help soothe her voice. Finn bought her one water Aquafina water bottle. He didn't even listen to her. Currently, they were fighting about it. Quinn immediately saw her chance. Unlike Finn, Quinn had listened to Rachel talk about the water in Glee and how she thought drinking it would help her voice. Quinn walked up to Finn and Rachel in class.

"Hi Quinn." Rachel said.

Quinn couldn't help but notice how excited she was to see Rachel and also how much she enjoyed hearing Rachel say her name.

"Rachel. I know it's your birthday and I know some people don't take it all that seriously but I do consider you to be one of my close friends so I thought I'd get you something."

"That's very sweet, Quinn."

Quinn smirked and then turned around and reached into her backpack and pulled out the Fiji water. Rachel squealed when she saw it. She reached over and gave Quinn a hug. Quinn immediately noticed her heartbeat increase as Rachel hugged her. Quinn shrugged it off as nothing but contact comfort.

"I heard you say you wanted this water to help your voice. If we have any chance at winning internationals this year, your voice needs to be in top form."

"Quinn, how thoughtful of you! Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, Rachel."

Quinn smiled at Rachel and shot daggers at Finn which made Finn just shrug and then pick his nose. When the bell rang, Quinn asked Rachel to stay with her for a minute. Finn held back to wait for Rachel but Quinn shooed him away.

"What's going on, Quinn?"

"I just love your voice. I was wondering if we could hang out and I could hear you sing for me." Quinn said.

"Oh that sounds like fun, Quinn! I have so many songs I could perform!"

Quinn smiled.

"I'll look forward to hearing them. Maybe we can even duet?"

"Oh sure, that would be great. I could give you some pointers."

"I would just love that."

Rachel gave Quinn a hug and then turned to leave. Quinn couldn't help but admire the other girl as she walked away.

"What's going on?" Brittany asked.

Brittany walked into the choir room and saw Santana.

"I wanted to sing with you." Santana replied.

"Oh cool. What song?" Brittany asked.

"You'll see." Santana said.

Brad reappeared for the third time. Santana smiled and took Brittany's hand and held her as she danced.

SANTANA

"Brittany. I don't wanna live in the shadows anymore. I love you and I don't care who knows it."

"I love you too, Santana."

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Duh. We'd be like the hottest couple at McKinley."

Santana smiled and then kissed Brittany with all the love she could muster. It was as if a huge weight was lifted off her shoulders. Santana Lopez was a badass, she didn't care what anyone else had to say. Brittany was her girlfriend and nothing would stand in their way.

As the end of the day came closer, all of the members of New Directions were excited to go to the first Glee rehearsal. Kurt was the first one there followed by Blaine. Kurt approached him.

"I'm so sorry about earlier. I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable."

Blaine blushed.

"It's not that. It's just if I had stayed any longer in the room, I wouldn't have been able to control myself."

"How do you mean?"

"I mean I would've wanted you right on top of that piano. You looked so gorgeous, it took all of my restraint to not just rip off your clothes."

"Blaine, I wanted you too. I wasn't trying to tease you. I've been thinking about it and I want us to take our relationship to the next level. I think I'm ready if you are."

"Really?"

Kurt nodded.

"Let's talk about it later when we're at a less public place."

"Okay." Kurt said.

Sure enough, the rest of the glee club filled in with Rachel and Finn holding hands, Brittany and Santana linking pinkies and Mercedes practicing her runs with Artie. Mr. Schuester entered wearing his traditional sweater vest.

"Okay, guys. Welcome back to another school year!"

Everyone cheered.

"We were all incredible last year but I think we can do even better. The winters of Nationals can now advance to Internationals which will take place in Rome!"

Everyone cheered even louder this time.

"I know it sounds amazing but right now, we need to work hard. Our first assignment for this week is New. This is many of your last years at McKinley but you'll find as you get older that you learn something new about yourself. Use this week to find out things about yourself that you may not have known before."

Will finished writing "New" on the board.

"Now, does anyone have anything they'd like to share?" Will asked.

As usual, Rachel's hands shot up in the air. However, Quinn's did as well.

"Quinn." Will called out.

Quinn walked up to the choir room.

"This song is one of my favorite songs and it describes how I'm feeling right now."

QUINN

MOMENT OF HONESTY

SOMEONE'S GOTTA TAKE THE LEAD TONIGHT

WHO'S IT GONNA BE

I'M GONNA SIT RIGHT HERE

AND TELL YOU ALL THAT COMES TO ME

IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY

YOU SHOULD SAY IT RIGHT NOW

YOU GIVE ME A FEELING THAT I'VE NEVER FELT BEFORE

AND I DESERVE IT, I THINK I DESERVE IT

IT'S BECOMING SOMETHING THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE

AND I CAN'T TAKE IT

(*Switch to Puck and Blaine in empty classroom)

"At first, I thought it was just something that would go away but now I know it's true. I can't ignore it anymore. I like guys too. I've kissed guys and I like it."

Blaine put a hand on his shoulder.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"I know that. But other people don't. I'm still a badass."

"Of course you are."

"I can't let anyone else know. It would ruin my reputation. Don't say anything."

"I won't but please know that we all support you in Glee."

"I know. Thanks."

(*Cut back to Quinn)

QUINN

I WAS WONDERING MAYBE

COULD I MAKE YOU MY BABY

IF WE DO THE UNTHINKABLE WOULD IT MAKE US LOOK CRAZY

IF YOU ASK ME I'M READY

(*Cut to Artie and Tina laughing in their room, with Tina looking at Artie with a romantic look. Cut back to Quinn.)

I KNOW YOU ONCE SAID TO ME

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD FEEL WHEN IT'S MEANT TO BE

TIME IS ONLY WASTING SO WHY WAIT FOR EVENTUALLY?

IF WE GON' DO SOMETHING 'BOUT IT

WE SHOULD DO IT RIGHT NOW

(*Cut to Finn and Rachel having an argument out in the hallway. Quinn watches them and smiles.)

WHY GIVE UP BEFORE WE TRY

FEEL THE LOWS BEFORE THE HIGHS

CLIP OUR WINGS BEFORE WE FLY AWAY

I CAN'T SAY I CAME PREPARED

I'M SUSPENDED IN THE AIR

WON'T YOU COME BE IN THE SKY WITH ME

Kurt rested his head on Blaine's shoulder and Santana kissed Brittany on the cheek.

I WAS WONDERING MAYBE

COULD I MAKE YOU MY BABY

IF WE DO THE UNTHINKABLE WOULD IT MAKE US LOOK CRAZY

OR WOULD IT BE SO BEAUTIFUL

EITHER WAY I'M SAYING

IF YOU ASK ME, I'M READY
