Chpt 1, The Beginning, Shelly's PoV

I stood outside of the doors, looking up at the school I had learned to love and hate so much. But, at this moment, what I felt was excitement. It is my junior year here at Mckinley High School, and also my year of being president of our schools glee club, New Directions. But…I had to admit, I was also sad, everyone else who was in New Directions last year, had graduated, and were off in collage or studying abroad. I missed them all. Especially Kurt.

I met him my freshman year here, his junior year, in GSA (Gay Straight Alliance). It was on those Tuesdays, a friendship began to form. By the time school ended, we had traded numbers, promising to see each other over the summer. I remember one July day, just as we sat down on the faux leather couches, he first introduced me to the idea of Glee club.

"You know, you're going to be a Sophomore next year, which means, you can join New Directions. Interested?" He said with his eyebrows raised.

*Glee?* I thought. *Wasn't that where all the misfits were who sang about their problems?*

But, what I actually said was along the lines of:

"Glee? Why?"

"Well," he started, "We are going to need new people, since we are all going to be Seniors next year, and if no ones left, how can we continue on?" He said in an over exasperated voice, sipped him Mocha Drip, and continued on. "Also, you're fantastic at singing, almost as good as Rachael, in fact, since you're free of all of the horrid outfits, and annoying divaness, you're better." He finished with a smile, and sipped his coffee.

*Huh…Glee…well…I might as well.* I thought

So I followed his advice, and joined the following year, and I'm so glad I did.

But, sadly, that was last year, everyone's gone, including Kurt, who moved with Blaine to the big apple, so he could follow his dream of being a Broadway star. And…here I am the lone member.

*Oh, wait, I'm not alone, I still have !*

And, speak of the Devil, there he was, pulling into the parking lot, his muffler dragging on the ground, like always.

"Mr. Shu!" I yelled as he stepped out of his car.

"Shelly! Wow! Great to see you! Ready to get some new recruits for the New New Directions?"

"Well…I guess, but they won't be the same as our old crew." I said with a sad smile.

He returned that smile, "I know, but, no one group is the same, but we can be sure to be just as good, if not better!"

We stood there for a few moments, making conversation about music ideas, and new members.

"Well Shelly, the bells going to ring in a short few, you need to get your new class list, and I need to go prepare for class, see you today in Spanish, and after school in Glee! Try to get some recruits!"

"I'm already ahead of you , I have sign up forms!"

"Great job! Hasta luago!"

"Adios!"

Now, it was time. Time to face WMHS, without my fellow Gleeks.
