The familiar smells of a high school were the first thing Rachel Berry took in as she entered the doors of William McKinley High School. Her boyfriend, Finn Hudson, squeezed her hand as they turned the corner heading towards Finn's locker.

"108," Finn said as he neared his locker for his senior year. He pulled the slip of paper with his combination out of his pocket and started turning it into the lock. Finn pulled open his locker and placed his backpack inside. Rachel handed Finn a magnet and her favorite of her senior pictures. Finn hung it up on his door before closing the locker. He took Rachel's hand in his once again before they took off towards Rachel's locker to do the same, passing another of the high school's many couples along the way.

"I'm just so excited for this year, Blaine! I'm a senior finally! And now that you've transferred to William McKinley, everything will just be perfect," a boy in a new designer jacket by the name of Kurt Hummel stated to his boyfriend.

Blaine Anderson flashed a smile towards Kurt before scanning the various faces in the hallway. The normally confident Blaine was nervous and Kurt could tell. Kurt nudged Blaine to calm him down as best he could. Blaine chuckled.

"So Mr. Schuester really said I could just be in the glee club without auditioning?"

Kurt nodded. "Yep. He's heard you sing and he said you didn't need to."

"Good. That gets rid of some nerves..."

"Oh shush. You would have an amazing audition, no doubt about it," Kurt rolled his eyes.

The bell rang announcing first period. William Schuester sat at his desk in his Spanish classroom watching as students slowly made their way into their seats. He smiled at each one, receiving a smile back here and there. Just as the late bell rang, a familiar student of Will's walked in.

"Hola," said Will to the student.

"Hey," nodded the student back. He kept a serious face but gave into a slight smile. He ran a hand over his mohawk as he sat down in a chair. He pulled his phone out of his pocket to text back Lauren Zizes, his girlfriend.

"Phones away, Puck," said Will with a smile.

"But Mr. Schue-"

Finn walked into the classroom. "Uh sorry I'm late. I was-"

"Making out with Rachel?" Noah Puckerman said jokingly.

"No..." Finn blushed.

"Just take a seat, Finn," said Will.

It was an average first day of school for the students at William McKinley High School. And later that day would be an average glee club meeting for thirteen of those students.
