Chapter 1: Season One premiere.
If you happen to go onto YouTube and type in "The Glee Club" over 103 hits will show up, of a bunch of Teenagers singing covers of songs. They're basically a household name. If you haven't heard of 'em, where have you been for the past 3 years?
It all started when the founder of "The Glee Club" aka Kurt Hummel was sitting in his house in the remote part of Ohio.
"Kurt!" his step-mother Carole called.
"Coming!" he replied, he shut his new Mac-book and left his relatively small room. He wasn't proud of his room to say the least. He had a Queen Size bed, a small dresser, and a tiny closet. He wasn't proud. Not at all. His family wasn't rich either, but they spoiled him - and his step-brother Finn - absolutely rotten. He had everything he ever wanted. A family, a best-friend, let's not forget his best-friends gorgeous twin brother who happened to be his closet guy friend. He stepped into the tiny dining room slash kitchen.
"Mornin' Kurt." his father Burt smiled looking over his newspaper.
"Morning Dad." Kurt grinned; he sat at his spot beside Finn who looked like he was ready to pass out. "Rough night?" he asked pouring himself some milk.
"Quinn is giving me a hard time..." Finn said groaning, "What is up with girls?" he asked. Kurt bit his lip.
"Dunno." Did he forget to mention... He hasn't come out yet.
He knew he was gay, like the fourth of July. But, he hadn't told his family yet. He wasn't planning to either, for a pretty long time. Carole placed some Canadian back-bacon on his plate with some hash brown and a sunny-side up egg.
"Thanks Mom." he grinned, diving into his food. Finn and Burt began scarfing down their food, while Kurt delicately cut his bacon and ate it slowly. Carole laughed as she watched her family eat. Carole and Burt had gotten married when Kurt and Finn were both 9, so they had already considered each other family. Kurt's mother Elizabeth had passed away May 18th, 2004 due to a Car Accident. Finn's father had died in Iraq fighting for their country when Finn was a newborn baby.
"So Kurt, what are you doing today?" Burt asked swallowed some orange juice.
"Well, Blaine and Rachel are coming over to hang out in the Van," Ah, yes the Van. This was one of those things that Burt and Carole had given Kurt for his 12th birthday. It's a Westfalia that sits quite a bit from the House. Their yard was at least 8 acres big. There was a clearing in a little cluster of trees where they put it. Kurt had made it his hideout where he hung out with his friends... So that would be Blaine and Rachel. The Anderson Twins as many called them, since they were attached at the hip. "We were gonna watch a Harry Potter movie." he finished.
"Mm, what about you Finn?" Burt turned to the larger boy.
"I'm probably going to Quinn's to make sure she's not mad at me." Finn checked his watch and swore under his breath, "Sh... I'm sorry I've got to go!" Finn stuffed some hash browns in his mouth and stood up running to his basement bedroom. Kurt laughed as he saw Finn trip over the carpet. A moment later Finn ran out of the house, tripping down the stairs. "Oh hi guys, Kurt's in the kitchen." they heard him greet. Not a second later Blaine and Rachel entered the room smiling like idiots. Rachel was wearing the most hideous deer sweater ever made on the face of the planet, as for Blaine... How does he keep getting better looking? He was wearing his square glasses, with a baggy grey sweatshirt with skinny jeans. Oh, and you could not miss the sexiest thing on Blaine: his luscious brown curls that sat on the top of his head.
"Good morning Hudmel's!" they both chimed, Burt grumbled something about the garage and left. Carole smiled and handed the two plates.
"You kids hungry?" she asked.
"Yes!" Blaine groaned, "Papa wouldn't give us breakfast because Rachel's been complaining about his cooking." he began to eat the remains on Kurt's plate.
"Hey!" Kurt smacked his arm, Blaine looked over and shrugged. How can someone who's only 14 be...? So sexy?
"Here Blaine." Carole handed him the leftover food that Burt and Finn didn't get to.
"Thanks!" he grinned.
"I can't help it if I don't like what Papa makes, it's disgusting. Imagine all the poor animals getting slaughtered-" Rachel started.
"That's enough information Rachel." Kurt laughed while watching Blaine trying to stuff toast and two slices of bacon in his mouth. Blaine swallowed and sighed.
"This was really good Mrs. Hudmel." Blaine patted his stomach he turned to Kurt who was playing with his napkin, "Did you find the Harry Potters?" Kurt nodded.
"I didn't look them in the first place, they were... Somewhere." Kurt mumbled, getting up to grab them.
Rachel was helping Carole put away the food, Kurt couldn't have asked for better best friend's.
He had met Rachel and Blaine in kindergarten, Elizabeth Hummel and Leroy Anderson had clicked, so had the kids. Kurt was sitting in the sandbox crying his eyes out. Rachel had walked over wearing a small Sun dress and her hair in pigtails.
{Flash back}
"Why are you crying'?" she asked sitting beside him.
"Th-That," hiccup, "Boy stole my Barbie!" Kurt bawled, Rachel clenched her fists then yelled quite loudly.
"BLAINE!" a second later, a boy wearing some navy blue pants, a pink shirt with suspenders, and a navy blue bowtie. His curls were crazy.
"Yes Rach." he smiled. Rachel huffed.
"That boy," she pointed at the bully. "Stole his," she motioned to Kurt, "doll. Can you get it back?" Blaine shrugged and walked over to the boy. He breathed in and tapped on the bully's shoulder. The bully turned around.
"Yes?" he asked.
"That doll isn't yours; can I have it back please?" Blaine held out his hand, the Bully hesitated.
"No." he turned back around. Blaine walked back to Rachel and Kurt.
"He... Told me no." Rachel groaned then yelled even louder.
"DADDY!" Leroy Anderson walked over, along with Elizabeth Hummel. Leroy was an African-American man with little to no hair on his head. As for Elizabeth, she had long black locks.
"Yes Rachel?" he bent down.
"That boy stole his doll! Blainey went to get it back, but he said no!" she had tears in her eyes. Leroy walked over to the bully. The bully trembled.
"May I have that doll?" the bully nodded and handed it back. "Thank you." he walked back and handed it to Kurt. "Here you go."
"Th-Thank you." Kurt grinned and started to play with the doll again. Rachel and Blaine sat beside him and played.
"What's your name?" Blaine asked.
"Kurt." Kurt sniffed.
"My names Rachel Anderson, this is my brother Blaine. We're twins." she grinned.
{End flashback}
They sat in the Van, they had Kurt's laptop perched up on the counter while Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire playing.
"Who's your favourite character?" Rachel asked interrupting the silence. Since it was March, the air was still chilly. They had all the doors closed, and blankets wrapped around them. It was like a second nature for Kurt and Blaine to share the blanket, while Rachel sits there with her own blanket.
"Cedric, even though he dies. He's the best character in this one." Kurt smiled.
"Mine is Harry, he's so brave... And courageousI wish I was like him." Blaine handed Kurt the popcorn, "What about you Rach?"
"Mine's Hermione, she's like... Super smart. And she's not afraid to say 'I'm to coolest bitch out there!'" Blaine and Kurt froze and turned to Rachel who was now staring at her thumbs.
"Rachel..." Blaine started. Rachel shook her head.
"I... Um, er..." Rachel stuttered. Blaine and Kurt looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Oh my God Rachel!" Kurt held his stomach from laughing so hard, Blaine did the same.
"You're so dumb Rach! We swear all the time, it's nothing to freak out about!" they laughed so hard they both fell off the small bed. Rachel pouted and glared at them.
"You two are awful!" she groaned.
"W-Why?" Blaine laughed.
"Y-You're ridiculous Rachel!" Kurt tried to help put his glasses back on, but they ended up laughing even harder. Rachel had snatched away Kurt's laptop and started typing on it.
"What are you doing Rach?" Blaine had finally stopped laughing.
"Going on YouTube to vent." she typed frantically. A loud 'Shut Up' was heard from the laptop.
"Oh she's watching Smosh again; I swear she has a thing for Anthony." Blaine shook his head. He looked up and raised his eyebrow. "Wanna go up there?" he pointed to the roof that lifted up to make room for another bed.
"I haven't opened that since our sleep-over in September." they both stood up and started lifting it up. Rachel giggled uncontrollably, Kurt looked over at her and she was blushing like an idiot. A strange song that went along the lines of 'Boxman, Boxman' was playing. They had lifted up the roof and were now on the top. They had placed a bunch of blankets and pillows up there. They were just lying there staring at the slanted roof. "I wonder what it would be like if we made a YouTube video." Kurt bit his lip.
"Imagine if we got famous, like Smosh." Blaine turned over and glasz met hazelnut-green. They locked eyes for a minute or so, and then Kurt laughed quietly.
"We should try it." Rachel lept up on the top and nodded like crazy.
"YES!" she grinned.
"Rach!" Blaine cried out.
"What?" she snapped.
"Y-Your elbow... Move it!" he choked. Rachel made a peculiar face and shrugged then didn't move. "Seriously Rachel! Move it! It's on my... You know!" he groaned. Rachel's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"OH!" she moved her arms and moved closer to Kurt. "He's such a boy."
"Hey! How would you like it if you had... Those and I just crushed them with my boney elbow?" they all paused for a second then burst out into a louder laughter.
"SO," she started, "what should we make for a video?" she asked.
"Dunno." Blaine shrugged.
"We should... We can try singing? That'll be cool!" Kurt smiled brightly.
"Ohmygosh YES!" Rachel leaped up then smacked her head on the roof. "OW!"
"Rachel, you're elbowing me in the ribs!" Kurt coughed; Blaine looked over at Kurt who nodded. They then pushed Rachel off the bed. She hit the bottom of the van with a loud thud. They laughed again. They jumped down and grabbed Kurt's laptop. "Okay, I do have a camera that can record video. We'll use that, now what song should we sing?" Rachel coughed loudly.
"First off, who should sing." she held up her hand.
"Yes Rach?" Blaine answered as if he were a teacher.
"I vote myself for the singer." she grinned greatly.
"Well, one of us has to hold the camera." Kurt pointed out.
"I will." Blaine said quickly.
"Okay Kurt, what song should we sing?" Rachel started rambling about random songs.
"Wicked." Kurt yelled.
"Ohmygosh YES!" she grabbed the laptop from Blaine's lap. "Defying Gravity!" she clapped. Kurt thought for a moment and nodded. He turned to Blaine.
"Go to my room, and in my bottom drawer. My camera will be there." Blaine stared at him, "Go." Kurt laughed. Blaine blinked then realised what he was supposed to be doing.
"I'll be back!" Blaine ran off.
"Let's practice!" Rachel began singing.
(Rachel)-"Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game."
(Kurt)- "Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!"
They were both shocked at each other's voices. Sure they had heard them before, but still... They were good, really good.
(Both)- "It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye I am defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!"
(Rachel)- "I'm through accepting limits 'cause someone says they're so."
(Kurt)- "Some things I cannot change But till I try, I'll never know!"
Blaine held the camera up while they sang to the instrumental version of Defying Gravity. They were good. Really good. He was impressed. They obviously looked nervous - singing in front of a camera - they were still great though. Kurt was fidgeting with his fingers while Rachel kept fixing her hair. His hands were shaking while he held up the camera, it was heavy. He would have to buy Kurt a new one.
When they finished the final lyrics of the song, Blaine started grinning like an idiot. This resulted in Kurt missing the High F at the end of the song. Oh well. He pressed the stop button then 'Wooed'.
"That was awesome!" Kurt snatched away the camera and sync'd it up to his laptop.
An hour later, they had finished watching Harry Potter and uploading the video.

TheCheeseRipper- "WOW! Epic voices!"
ChickenReaper- "Meh. I've heard better."
SaladFingersNumberOneFan- "ZOMG! Who's that hot piece of sexiness beside the Jew?"
"People... Are amazing!" Rachel clapped the checked her watch, "Blaine we have to go." Blaine nodded, hugged Kurt then the Anderson twins left.
Kurt fell asleep with his laptop open in the van.
When he awoke, he decided to check the video.

Kurt gasped sucking in too much air.
