Chapter One: When Hannah Met Tyler, Tyler Met The Slushie Machine, And The Slushie Met Sam's Face (The title has nothing to do with the chapter. It just sounded cool. :D )
Will Schuester sighed and opened the door to his office. He peeked out into the crowded hallway and grinned. Another year, another Glee club. Maybe they'd actually place at Sectionals this year.
He grabbed the stack of sign-up sheets and entered the hall, thumb-tacking the colorful sheets on every wall. On the way around the school, he saw some peculiar people. Oh, that's right, new freshman, he laughed to himself.
Speaking of which, after everyone had gone to class and the hallways were empty, he noticed one (extremely small) blonde girl sitting on the floor, leaning up against the lockers, her nose stuck in a very thick bok. He cleared his throat.
"Shouldn't you be in class?"
The girl looked up. Her green eyes were covered by wide, thick, black 'nerd' glasses and her blonde hair was thrown in a sloppy ponytail. "B-b-but..." She blushed. "I'll just...go..." She stood and ran off.
Hmm. Weird.
Continuing down the hallway, he saw the same poster beside every Glee sign-up sheet: VOTE MAUREEN LIN FOR PRESIDENT! The pretty girl's face was bright and smiling. After tacking up all the sign-up sheets, he made his way back to his office.
Yeah. Another year, another empty sign-up sheet.
Daniella Jones was bored. Very bored. Okay, they should know basic classroom rules by now, why are they going over them? She put her head on her arm and leaned onto the desk. School sucks. A lot.
The girl next to her wasn't paying attention, either. She came in late, and her nose was stuck in some thick book Daniella probably wouldn't read even if she was being tortured and was forced to.
"Psst!" She whispered. "What's your name?"
The blonde looked up in astonishment. "Uh...it's, um...Hannah." She replied softly. "Hannah Gray."
Daniella smirked. "I'm Daniella, nice to meet you. What do you think of this class?"
Hannah shrugged.
Daniella ran her fingers through her choppy, unnaturally red hair and blinked her brown eyes. "Well, you are quite the Chatty Kathy," the girl joked.
The shy blonde simply shook her head no. Daniella shrugged and turned to her left. A tall guy with shaggy, black hair and green eyes with freckles scattered across his nose and a brown beanie smiled at her.
"Hey," she said, trying to be friendly.
He nodded. "Hey."
What was with these people? Does anyone talk anymore?
"My name is Daniella Jones. I thought this was a freshman class. You don't look like a freshman," the outgoing girl stated, turning her head sideways like a puppy.
The guy snorted. "It's French 1. I failed it last year so I have to retake it." Seeing the look on Daniella's face, he added, "My name is Christian Franko. Call me Criss, spelled X-r-i-s-s." He half-smiled at her.
She raised her eyebrows in appreciation. "That's really cool."
Xriss smiled and turned his attention back to the teacher. Well, Daniella thought, at least some people in my homeroom speak.
Connor drummed his fingers absentmindedly on his desk, The teacher glared and he stopped immediately. Wow. Tough crowd. To his right was the guy who lived down the street from him, Tyler. He was pretty cool.
Tyler leaned over. "Man, I feel stupid. Thanks to the schedule changes, I'm in a class with a bunch of freshman. And that girl!" He pointed to a girl with shoulder-length brown hair and hazel eyes. She would probably be at Tyler's shoulder. "Who is that?" Connor asked, flipping his dark brown hair. The badass shrugged.
"Hell if I know. Hey, she's not bad looking. Maybe we could..." He raised one sly eyebrow. "...you know."
Connor jokingly punched him in the arm. "Yeah, unfortunately, I do know. I think her name is Alice McArthur, the Scottish exchange student."
Tyler's face formed into a grin. "Accents turn me on."
Both males began snickering hysterically, earning a glare from the teacher.
Maureen knew what she wanted. Oh yes. She wanted...power. And solos. And world peace, and for the trees to be saved. Of course, this was all what she wanted to accomplish before the age of twenty-one. Don't even get her started on after that. it could take years for her to list all of the things she wants to do.
Sitting up straight, she smiled serenely at her classmates. This is it! The new school year! Her sophmore year! Finally, it has come! She sat silently, smiling widely (and a bit creepily) for a moment before the guy next to her tapped her shoulder.
"Excuse me? Why are you smiling like that?" His shirt read 'SAM I AM', so she assumed his name was Sam.
"Hello, Sam. I am smiling like this because I am happy."
"Well, obviously."
Maureen just kept on smiling.
S.J. is nice. Really nice. At least, people tell him that. He sat down in his first period class beside a blonde girl he recognized from last year. Her name was Blake, wasn't it?
He grinned. "Hi, Blake!"
"Oh, hey S.J.! How was your summer?" She asked sweetly.
"It was good. Yours?"
"Mmm, fine. So, are you doing Glee again this year?"
He frowned. "Why wouldn't I?"
Blake smiled, her blonde hair in a French braid and her blue eyes sparkling. "No reason."
Will checked his watch. Ten kids were supposed to be showing up. Where were they?
Suddenly, the auditorium was filled with the sound of teenagers. He heard many voices, some lower and manly, some high and talkative, and some in the middle. He definitely was excited for this year.
As the kids took seats in the auditorium chairs, he walked up on stage and said, "Hey guys! Welcome to Glee club. This year will be very fun. Okay, when I call your name, just come on up onstage and tell me your grade and what you'll be singing." He grinned. "Okay, could I see Maureen Daniels?"
The excitable Asian pracitcally ran onto the stage. "My name is Maureen Daniels, I am in tenth grade, and I will be singing Omigod You Guys from the hit Boradway show Legally Blonde. I will be singing all three parts."
Will raised his eyebrows. What?
The music started up,and Maureen began to sing.
"Dear Elle,
He's a lucky guy I'm, like, gonna cry
I got tears coming out of my nose
Mad props!
He's the campus catch
You're a perfect match
Cause you both have such great taste in clothes
Of course he will propose!"
Her voice was very strong. It actually reminded Will of Sunshine Corazon.
"Dear Elle,
Honey maseltav future's taking off
Bring that ring back and show it to me!"
She laughed and started singing again.
"Four carats
A princess cut
Are you psyched or what?
I just wish i could be there to see
When he gets down on one knee!"
She began jumping up and down. Will noted on his pad of paper that she had a great voice and tons of energy.
"Omigod Omigod, you guys
Looks like Elle's gonna win the prize
If there ever was a perfect couple, this one qualifies
omigod, you guys!"
She curtsied dramatically and everyone half-heartedly applauded.
Will cleared his throat and called out, "Okay, great. Next up, Sam Everett!"
The blonde blonde walked up on stage and said calmy, "I'm Sam, and I am a sophmore. Yeah. I'll be singing Eleanor Rigby, by the Beatles."
Will nodded, impressed.
"Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people..."
His voice was smooth, very smooth. Almost like Bruno Mars's, in a way.
"Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
In the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream..."
He stared directly at Will, not letting his gaze falter. Needless to say, Will was impressed with the boy's ability.
"Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?"
He took a deep breath and continued singing:
"All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?"
He stopped and everyone burst into applause. Will smiled. "Next up, Christian Franko!"
The boy jogged onto the stage, pulled out his always-present iPod headhones, and smiled. "Um, I'm a junior, and I'll be singing Bohemian Rhapsody by the band Queen."
"Alright!" Will said, grinning. "Go ahead, Christian."
"It's Xriss, actually." He smiled and pulled a stool from backstage, and began to sing.
He sang the first nine or so lines and Will was majorly impressed. Next up, however, was Hannah Gray.
"Uh, uh, I..." She stumbled over her words and picked at the hem of her yellow sundress. "I'm a...freshman." She tripped over a power cord and everyone laughed. She blushed. "I'm singing Enchanted by Taylor Swift."
"There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was
Enchanting to meet you..."
Here, Hannah looked to the auditorium back wall and prayed that she wouldn't throw up. Will's mind couldn't register the shock. This girl sounded just like Quinn, excpet maybe a little stronger and with a country twang.
"Your eyes whispered 'have we met?'
Cross the room your sillouhette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks like
Passing notes in secrecy
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you..."
Hannah closed her eyes and belted out the song, pretending like she wasn't in an auditorium.
"This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you!"
She finished and everyone applauded. She dropped her head and hurried back to her seat. Will called out the next name: Daniella Jones.
The redheaded girl strutted her way onto the stage and smiled enthusuastically. "Hi, I'm a freshman, and I'm singing Tunnel by the Used." She clears her throat and begins to sing:
"I set out alone,
Crawl through the tunnel,
My eyes can hardly see the other side,
No longer cold,
Or feeling in trouble,
I realize that I am just alive...
So let it shine!"
It's beautiful. That's all Will has to say. It's beautiful.
"Cause we are, the light in the tunnel,
We are the living and dying,
See how we are, alone in the world,
We are the light in the tunnel,
That's all..."
Everyone clapped wildly and the next person went on stage. "Alright, great! Would Alice McArthur come on up?"
The girl walked silently up to the stage and faced them boldly. "I am in tenth grade, and I will be singing Save Me by Queen," she said in her Scottish accent. She winked then began to sing.
Everyone agreed it was one of the best performances of the day. Up next: Tyler Rodriguez.
"Hey, I'm Tyler." He flipped his shagy black hair and flexed his tan muscles. "As you all know, I'm the quarterback, and I'm a junior. I'll be singing No Surprise, by Daughtry."
He started to sing. His voice was meant for rock, everyone could tell.
"I've practiced this for hours, gone 'round and 'round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it I love how it sounds
'Cause I'm not taking the easy way out..."
He started walking around the stage.
"Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise!"
Tyler stopped singing and grinned, running back to his seat. "Okay, next is Connor Smith!"
Connor stood and grinned, walking to the stage. Once reaching it, he stuck his hands in his pockets. "I'm a sophmore. Well, uh, I play piano, so I guess I'll sing So Close by John McLaughlin."
He sat down at the piano, warming up the keys a little before playing a bittersweet tune and singing,
"You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music plays on for only two
So close together and when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive..."
He poured his heart into the song, and for some reason, Will was reminded of Kurt, of how he was always into the song.
"A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know, all I wanted was to hold you
So close!"
He pounded on the piano keys.
"So close to reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretending
Now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far
We are, so close..."
He finished the song and everyone stood to clap for him. He was truly a great singer. Finally, it was time for Blake. She marched on stage and smiled serenely. "Hello, I am a senior and I will be singing Never Again by Kelly Clarkson."
Wil nodded. He was ready to call it a day.
"I hope the ring you gave her turns her finger green
I hope when you're in bed with her, you think of me
I would never wish bad things, but I don't wish you well
Could you tell, by the flames that burned your words..."
Tears streamed down the head cheerleader's pretty face. Everyone in the audience felt like they were in a personal moment, so they felt awkward.
"I never read your letter
'Cause I knew what you'd say
Give me that Sunday school answer
Try and make it all okay..."
She opened her eyes and sang strongly,
"Does it hurt to know I'll never be there?
Bet it sucks, to see my face everywhere
It was you, who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew excactly what you would do
And don't say, you simply lost your way
She may believe you but I never will
Never again..."
Blake finished and composed herself. She took on her Ice Queen persona and forgot that moment ever happened. An exhausted Will made his way to the stage announced:
"You all made it! Practices start tomorrow. Oh, and S.J., you will audition tomorrow at Glee." He sighed and slumped back into his chair.
Daniella grinned, and Xriss made his way over to her. "Hey, sit beside me in Glee tomorrow." She nodded, agreeing.
Sam was walking out of the auditorium when suddenly he was pushed against the wall. He fell to the ground, and the first thing he saw was a freshman's face.
"Um...are you...okay?" She asked softly. Sam nodded.
"Yeah. Thanks."
"My name is Hannah..." the girl whispered as Sam walked away without even a thank you.
A/N: WOW that took forever to write. You MIGHT get a chapter tomorrow. IDK, I have to pack for a vacation.
ALSO, I need pairing ideas! I am pretty much open to anything. Lots of girl characters are bisexual, and we have one gay male, so there you go, opens up possibilities.
