Disclaimer: I don't and never will own Glee. I only own my OC Dani Simmons and the Simmons family. Hope you enjoy! ^_^ Set in season 2


Dani's P.O.V

Another year at McKinley, where did the summer go? A month spent vacationing in California at my Grandma's house, at least I got to see some of my old friends again…they've changed so much it's unreal, we used to have so much in common…does ten years really change a person? My family and I moved to Ohio ten years ago, my mom got a new job as a real-estate agent and well my dad's profession meant he moved round the country a lot, he's a racer. My brother Jon, who's five years older than me, moved back to California after he graduated college, he owns a surf shop…anyway back to the more boring and menial present.

The usual first day of term buzz filled the corridor as I sifted through the gathering crowds of babbling students until I reached my trusty locker. I quickly entered the combination and chucked in some things I really didn't need at that moment in time and picked up my lovely flowery print notebook, I flipped through it once checking the previous years notes before stashing it in my bag, and closing the locker shut. The bell rang signalling the five minutes until classes began, I checked my timetable to see I would be in Mr Schue's Spanish class first. I rounded a corner only to be knocked onto the floor, paper's flew around me in a kind of weird snowfall.

"Ow!" I exclaimed as my backside came into contact with the hard, cold tiled floor. I looked up to see what or who I had walked into, there was no on there. Wait…what sent me to the floor then? I picked up one of the papers that had landed on my knee and examined it carefully, in the top corner under name was Sam Evans… "Hmmm…I'm definitely not named Sam Evans." I said to no one in particular before chucking the piece of paper onto the rest that had magically formed a pile on the floor…a ghost? No a hand was sweeping them up…well was until it stopped momentarily. I followed the hand, which lead to an arm clad in a purple sleeve, which belonged to a blond haired boy.

"That would me." he stated looking at me directly, before he began sweeping up the papers. I sat there bewildered.

"What?" I asked, he looked back at me before offering his hand to pull me back onto my feet.

"I'm Sam." he answered, until no I hadn't realised that he had one of the biggest mouths I had seen in my life, but in fairness he had one of the greatest smiles I had seen.

"Oh…I'm Dani Simmons." I greeted offering him a handshake, "I've never seen you here before, are you new here?"

"Yeah, my first day today." he said nodding, I remember my first day at McKinley, I tripped down some stairs and ended up in a detention with Finn. Finn was one of my first friends when I moved to Ohio ten years ago, and ever since we've been like best buds.

"Ah, sorry for bumping into you by the way." I apologised, he shook his head before pulling out his timetable, "I could show you round if you like."

"Sure, by any chance do you know where Mr Schuester's Spanish class is?" he asked, I smiled before pulling him down the corridor just a little bit further until we got to the class.

"Hola Dani!" Mr Schue greeted cheerfully.

"Hola Senor Schue." I said, before going to my seat next to Mercedes in the 3rd row, Sam and Mr Schue talked for a bit before he was directed to the seat next to Puck who was sat in front of me. Spanish class carried on as normal, chatting about holidays in Spanish etcetera. Mercedes started to ask me about Sam, I just shrugged and gave some random answers here and there at one answer she looked sceptically at me and I just shrugged it off as if it could have been true:

"Do you know where he's from?"

"Antarctica?"

After Spanish we had a free period which meant we had Glee club. Woo! Wonder what we would be doing today. Mercedes and I left Spanish with Kurt who excused himself as he needed to go to the bathroom. As we were just about to reach the choir room, the one person I was so not hoping to see at all this year appeared with his annoying little microphone and camera man…yeah you guessed it, stood in front of Mercedes and I was Jacob Ben Israel.

"Mercedes, Dani how do you react to the current poll on my blog?" he asked, I looked at Mercedes who was just shaking her head, what the hell was he chatting about. I really couldn't be bothered with him at this moment in time nor any other point in time.

"Whatever." I said shrugging before walking over to the choir room, Mercedes in toe with Jacob just rambling at us before the door slammed in his face. I flopped down into a chair behind Brittany and Artie next to Finn who was cuddling with Rachel…sometimes they're a bit over the top for me…just a bit. Kurt entered covered in a red slushie.

"Are you alright?" Mercedes asked, everyone looked at him concerned. Out of the whole Glee club Kurt was the one that was picked on the most…well that's what I thought anyway.

"I've been better." he said as he sat down next to us. Quinn and Santana entered both in their Cheerios outfits, but neither looked really happy to be in each other's company…another fight?

Mr Schue began Glee with some general announcements and then other general stuff that you know club ,meetings do before he go down to the nitty-gritty:

We needed new members.

Needless to say there was some outcries especially from Rachel…her and her competition.

"Anyway, anyone got some songs to share with us today?" Mr Schue, Finn nudged, which made me fall out of my seat.

"Ow!" I yelled, before standing up and glaring at Finn who just shrugged…is it shrugging day or something?

"Dani, the floor is all yours." Mr Schue said as he took a seat on the front row.

"Err…ok," I said as I walked down to the front…great. I randomly brought out some sheet music and passed it to the band before I stood in the middle of the floor in front of the board:

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am,
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
Couldn't drag me away...

I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines,
Can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
Couldn't drag me away...

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie,
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried,
Let's do some living after we die

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
We'll ride them someday

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,

I finished singing and everyone applauded.

"Well done Dani." Mr Schue congratulated, I sat back down, Mercedes and Kurt congratulated me more before the bell went again and we filed out of the classroom.

?P.O.V

Wow I never thought she could sing that well and look that beautiful...and be that down to Earth. Dani.
