Hey, Guys! This is my first Fanfic. Hope you like it.
"Sorry I'm late, guys." Mr. Shuester said as he was walking through the door. "Okay, you guys did pretty good at sectionals but that's not going to be enough. We're still back on 12 people so we need to recruit some more members. Like I said, we need glee club to be a giant wall of sound."
Rachel raised her hand. "Mr. Shue?"
"Yes, Rachel."
"Where's Brad?"
"Good question, Rachel. Everybody, welcom-"
I shouted "Here I am!" Everybody's gaze turned on me as I stepped into the room. I grinned. "Well, not Brad, but I'm his sub for now. He's sick."
You might want to know how all of this started. Well, I just recently moved from New York and started going to McKinley High. It all happened on my first day…
"Move it!" someone yelled. I was trying - struggling actually, struggling's like trying, only not succeeding – to find the office to pick up my schedule. I was already a few weeks late for school and the hallways were crowded so I bumped into someone and fell back. The guy was – well, compared to me – huge.
"Oww.." I said while rubbing my head.
"Oh! Sorry!" the person said and walked away. I groaned how could someone just knock over someone and walk away! And to make matters worse, papers flew out of my binder – and, I'm not a very organized person – and landed everywhere. I tried to pick most of them up, but the bell rang. Great, I have to find the office and fast.
I made it just in time, and the day went fine but lunch was trouble since I knew no one but I survived. I walked into yet another class and as I was walking in, the teacher looked up from his book and introduced himself.
"Hey, you must be the new student. I'm Mr. Shuester but call me Mr. Shue. Welcome to Spanish." He smiled at me.
"Hi. I'm Juniper Christiana." I smiled back.
"Juniper Christiana?" I nodded slowly as rummaged through his briefcase. Then he handed me a paper.
"What's this?" The paper seemed familiar. "Oh! This is one of my piano sheet music!" I exclaimed loudly. Students were rushing in and were giving me weird looks. "Thank you." I said more softly.
"Your welcome. I was wondering if you can come play for the glee club." I blinked once. "Our piano accompanist is sick so, can you be his sub for the next few weeks?" I blinked twice. "Well?"
"Uhh..." Mr. Shue was looking at me with expecting eyes. "Sure. I'd love to come play for your glee club." I grinned at him.
"Great!" He wrote something down on a piece of paper and gave it to me. "Here's the place and time, and thank you. Um, you sit there."
"Tomorrow, don't forget." Mr. Shue added as I was walking out the door after class.
And so here I am, in the choir room standing. Everyone mumbled 'Hey's or 'Hi's.
"Hi, I'm Rachel and that's my bo- I mean, ex-boyfriend, Finn." She said pointing to a guy with a grey shirt and then, she turned cold. "Mr. Shue? Are you serious? She's our age, she's about 16 an-"
"15, actually." I interrupted.
"Exactly my point, . She's too young and probably un-skillfu-"
"Rachel! Give her a chance, will you?" Mr. Shue interrupted and I gave him a grateful look. Rachel looked taken back and shot me dirty looks. "Why don't you introduce yourself?" he said to me.
I nodded. "Hi everyone, I'm Juniper Christiana. I'm new here, starting well, yesterday." Then everyone started saying stuff to me, and the room was filled with 12 – I counted – voices, not including Mr. Shue . "Guys! One at a time, please. Um, girl with the pretty highlights."
"Hey, I'm Tina." She smiled at me and I smiled back at her. I pointed at another person beside her.
"Mike, Mike Chang. I'm Tina's boyfriend."
He grinned at me. "Sam Evans." The blonde boy holding the other blonde girl's hand said.
"Hi, I'm Quinn Fabray."
"Mercedes!" The black girl said and smiled at me. "I love your hair! It's so so.. vivid." I knew she and Tina were going to be good friends of mine.
"Thank you!" I smiled back at her. Wondering why she called my hair 'vivid'? I have red hair but not like auburn red hair, fire red hair. I got it from my dad.
"Hi.. I'm Artie…Your eyes are pretty.." I smiled at him. He was adorable, but in a wheelchair. And soon, everyone introduced themselves.
I started playing 'I'm Not That Girl' from Wicked at Rachel's demand. I started playing first then after a few moments, Rachel joined me.
Hands touch
Eyes meet
Sudden silence
Sudden heat
Hearts leap
In a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl
Rachel had a really pretty voice. Quinn and Tina joined with some harmony.
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
I looked at Sam, he was pretty cute in a dorky way, but still cute.
Blithe smile
Lithe limb
She who's winsome
She wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl
I noticed Rachel was looking at Finn at times, but when Finn looks back at her, she turns to look at another person.
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl
Everyone clapped and rehearsal was over, Mercedes and Tina came up to me as I was putting my stuff away.
"Hey, girl. Tina and I were wondering if you wanted to hang out Friday night. You know, like go to a movie and stuff." Mercedes smiled at me.
"Sure, that'll be great." I smiled back at her and we walked out together talking. But at the corner of my eye, I could see Rachel giving me dirty looks.
