I wanted to get away. I wanted to get away from the monster that I was becoming. They say he who fights monsters often becomes a monster himself and that was what happened to me. I was becoming Blair Waldorf and I didn't like it. I wanted her to think that she had won because I wanted to get out of New York, not just the city, but the state. I wanted to stay with mom for a little while in Ohio. I knew that going from New York City to small town Ohio would be an adjustment, but it was an adjustment I could make.

Since I was living with my mom, my dad had to pay child support. She had used that money to get a mansion in Lima. I didn't know why we needed a mansion for the two of us. I assumed it was because she thought that it would make me feel more at home.

So what had I done that I was so bad? Well it all when I was 13. My brother and I started a website. It was kind of like TMZ except without the celebrities. Instead, it focused on a small group of people in New York City. For some reason, it was a huge hit. It was probably because Gossip Girl sounded like a real teenage girl.

I was starting my new school. It was never fun to start a new school during your senior and even worse to go from private school to public school, but that was what I was doing. I could say that I did like the lack of uniforms and I could finally wear the clothes that I made to school. As a future fashion designer, it probably wasn't the best place for me, but I could always go back to New York later.

I walked into school wearing a black dress that I made with a leather jacket and fishnets. I liked to dress edgy and it was definitely something to get me noticed.

"Who is she?" I heard someone whisper as I made my entrance.

"I wish I looked like that." Another girl replied.

Suddenly, I found a microphone held by a nerdy Jewish kid in my face.

"I'm here with a mysterious new student." He said. "Tell us your name."

"Who are you?" I asked. He seemed to have no notion of personal space.

"I'm Jacob Ben Israel, the most influential blogger at McKinley." I replied. I couldn't help but be a little bit intrigued. I also couldn't help but wonder if he had that title by default. I kind of wanted to challenge him for that title. Sure, I had never run anything by myself, but I co-ran one of the most important blogs ever, at least among the shallow people of New York.

No, I couldn't do that again. Gossip Girl was bad for me and I didn't want to get sucked into that web again. Besides, I didn't even have anything to talk about. I would need a subject for a blog.

During lunch, I couldn't help but notice that the school had an auditorium. I was under the impression that public schools didn't care about the arts. Since it was empty, I decided to walk onto the stage and sing a little bit. I really liked the classics.

I like to dream yes, yes right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sight I drift in the night any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near to the stars away from here

Well you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl on magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dream to me fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

You don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl on magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dream to me fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

"That was impressive." A man told me as he clapped his hands.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Mr. Schuester, the Spanish teacher." He answered.

"Not to be rude, but what's a Spanish teacher doing in the auditorium?" I responded.

"Because I'm also the coach of the Glee club." He told me.

"Is that the singing group that had the kiss in New York last year?" I replied. I had heard of it on the news.

"Yes." He answered. "I was wondering if you were interested in joining by any chance. I think that you have a really nice voice."

"I'll think about it." I stated before I walked out. I probably wouldn't do anything with it. I would at least do the research. I could put it on my to-do list.

The first thing that I wanted to do was check out Jacob Ben Israel's blog. I was kind of appalled by it. The layout was godawful. It was like he didn't really care about making it aesthetically pleasing. Maybe it was why his hits were only in the ten thousands. I decided to overlook the abhorrent design and check out some of the content. He really seemed to like writing about the Glee club, but he didn't even have any pictures except for ones that looked like they were out of the yearbook.

Nevertheless, I was intrigued by the glee club. I decided to go down a current roster. There was Finn Hudson who was also the school's quarterback, Rachel Berry, who was the school's drama queen and overachiever, Kurt Hummel, a gay kid who was also a drama queen, Mercedes Jones, a black girl who seemed to think she was as awesome as Beyoncé, Mike Chang, a football player who only danced, Artie Abrams, a nerd in a wheelchair, Brittany S. Pierce, a classic ditz, Santana Lopez a cheerleader who was rumored to be a lesbian, Noah Puckerman, a football player who had spent some time in Juvie, and Tina Cohen-Chang, a girl who had no outstanding characteristics other than being Asian and Gothic. It seemed like it was surprising interesting blog material. Who would think that a high school club could generate so much drama?

The more I looked at the blog, the angrier I became. It seemed like the point was solely to make fun of and ridicule the Glee club, but what business did he have doing it. He didn't seem to have a lot going for him and it wasn't really generating views, so it wasn't making a difference.

As the day went on, I couldn't help but get the idea that the Glee club really wasn't that popular, judging by the fact that they had food thrown at them during a lunchtime performance. I couldn't help but wonder why they had chosen to sing an 80s pop song. I then had an idea. I couldn't help but wonder if I could do something. I wanted to see if I could make the Glee club popular the way that Dan and I had made ourselves popular.

After school, I got a call from my brother.

"Hey, bro." I greeted him. "What's up?"

"How's Ohio?" He asked.

"Well it's interesting." I replied. "I want to run an idea by you. There's this Glee club here. They're kind of the bottom of the social ladder, but I want to see if I can change that. I was thinking of a new website to document them."

"I thought you wanted out of this stuff." He remarked. "Isn't that why you set up the situation to leave?"

"I know it is, but this school is different and I'm not going to start a battle again. I just want the website to be what we originally intended Gossip Girl to be." I explained. "I don't think that there's a Blair Waldorf at this school."

"Just be careful." He instructed.

Of course I couldn't do anything if I didn't have something to go off of. I needed a story, an inciting incident like the Serena dress thing. It was something to draw the attention of the readers. I already knew how to spread the word of the site.

The following day, I happened to stumble across something. I was in the hallway when I saw something. I took a picture and got to work on the website when I got home. The name of the sight was going to be Glee Gossip. The story was about how the Glee club got a transfer student, a boy named Blaine Anderson from the rival Dalton Academy. He was also Kurt's boyfriend.

The following morning, I happened to find something else. I found out that the Glee club had turned down an auditionee for the first time since Mr. Schuester took over. Her name was Sugar Motta and while it sounded like her voice was similar to a dying cat, the first rejection was still a big deal. I started to forward people links from an anonymous account. By Friday, everyone was talking about the website and that was how I got some really interesting gossip about how Mr. Schuester kicked Santana out of the club for an incident involving a piano.

It only took a few days, but I was already a hit from the shadows of the school. I didn't use Gossip Girl because I didn't want anyone to make the connection.

Hey McKinley High, Devious Diva here and it seems like the Glee club is down one diva. Will she come crawling back or will someone else replace her? All I know is that I'm gonna love being your new best friend. XOXO

As I was finishing up, I noticed a girl with pink hair. I figured that I should get to know her better.

So this is obviously not a new chapter of Strange Directions. I came up with this idea and I wanted to run with it. Jenny and Quinn haven't met yet, but it seems like there is going to be a connection. This isn't in the crossovers section because no one clicks on the crossovers section. How will the Glee club react to Devious Diva and will Jenny join? Please don't forget to review.
