Hello there! For all of you who are just joining us, this is a re post of a story. It was being reported for using lyrics, so I deleted it, and re posted it this way, with links to each song in my forum. The link to that forum is on my profile.
And to any of you who have been here from the beginning and submitted these lovely characters: Welcome back! You guys especially have to check out the forum, because that's where I will be asking you for info on the characters.
Also, I need characters to be in Vocal Adrenaline and Oral Intensity...so feel free to let me know if you're interested.
McKinley High School 7:30 A.M Random Hallway
"Hello William."
"Great," He mumbled under his breath before turning around, "Hello Sue. Can I help you with anything?" Will turned around to see Satan herself with a confident smirk. This was not how he wanted to start the first day of school.
"Oh, no. Just another year. Another probable win for my Cheerios. And yet another failed attempted by you to form the next group of losers to never make it past Regionals."
"We won Regionals quite a few times. Ring a bell? We beat your team," He snapped back, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get to homeroom."
Will heard her muttering to herself as he walked away (something about too much hair gel and him being a loser) but soon the only sounds in the corridor were the other teachers rushing to talk to each other in the last free time of the week, and his feet walking towards the Spanish classroom. He loved these precious moments before the vicious student body of McKinley High killed each other in an all out frenzy for popularity. Or struggle to climb from the bottom of the food chain.
As he organized the seating chart (he learned the hard way that if you let the kids sit where they want all they do is talk about plans for sex, gossip or beat each other up) his mind wandered back to his old glee kids, New Directions. He hadn't seen most of them since the last of them graduated two years ago, but in the middle of the summer they had a New Directions reunion party.
He groaned when he heard the doors open out front and was just grateful that he didn't have to open the door. Will set his coffee down on his desk as he waited for the pool of students to fill in. School was in session.
McKinley High School 7:40 A.M Outside
"You have to Julie! Please?"
"No! I don't want to."
"Please? It'll be totally awesome!"
"No!"
"Pleeeease?"
"No!"
"PLEEEEEA-"
"HEY!" Some random guy interrupted, "SHUT UP!"
"WHY SHOULD WE?" Andie yelled back with more force, before flipping her dark hair behind her shoulder. "Please? FOR ME?"
"No!" Juliet yelled. Everyone immediately stared at her and she quietly added. "I don't want to."
The one thing Juliet hated most in the was being noticed by anyone but her best friend and her parents.
"Well why ever not?"
"Like I'm going to get up onto a stage and sing my heart out for the world? As if. Besides, I've heard of the horror stories of the kids who were in glee a few years ago. It was social ruin. Every time they walked down the hallway people would throw slushies at their faces. No way I need a repeat of mathletes."
The previous year Andie had convinced her to join the math team, even though she loathed math most of all other subjects. It was also her worst class, with a C before she started, and a B after. Which her parents were pretty happy about. She had learned to bring a new outfit to school every day so she could walk around in something not covered in bright red dye. Suddenly the doors opened and whatever teacher had opened them was carried away in a current of students who couldn't care less if she got trampled or not.
"It'll totally be fun though! PLEASE?"
"No Andie! I'm not joining some lame glee club!" Juliet snapped as she walked into homeroom. When she saw who was sitting at the front of the desk she immediately felt bad. Mr. Schuester was her homeroom teacher.
She just took her place at the desk he pointed her to, not looking at him and ignored Andie's pleas as she put the books she needed for the first three periods of the day on her desk and walked out of the room to put her bag and the rest of her books in her locker.
"Fine. You won't sign up for glee with me? Then you're not coming with me to the Paramore concert!" Andie slammed her locker forcefully and leaned against it to smirk at Juliet.
"You got Paramore tickets?" She gasped.
"Yep. I guess I'll, like, take someone else with me." Andie began to fan herself with the two tickets that appeared out of nowhere. "Maybe Anna will want to come when she gets back from vay-cay."
"Gimme the tickets Andie."
"Nope. Not unless you cut the whole shy act and join glee," When Juliet reached for it she just pulled it out of the short girls reach. Julie looked around the quiet hallway and decided that secretly joining glee club would get her less noticed than fighting her best friend over tickets on the first day of school.
"It's not an act!" At Andie's silence she sighed in defeat.
"Fine. I'll sign up for auditions."
McKinley High School 12:45 P.M Cafe
"C'mon guys! Give him a break." Chris protested.
"Nope. He said he could prove it. So he'll join the lowest of the low." Billie looked at his best friend then turned to the freshman, Dean, before smiling evilly. "Glee club." The new kid claimed that back in junior high he was the star of the football team and his popularity could make it through anything.
"Fine." Dean shrugged and put his feet up on the table. "No big deal. Just a bunch of singing and dancing."
Joey laughed. "You'll wish that's it." Dean really thought that the four of them made a funny group. The football newbie (himself), the soccer star (Joey) the baseball jock (Billie) and the varsity football captain (Chris).
At the bell he tossed his tray into the trash, and was about to through out the smoothie too when Billie's hand stopped him.
"No you idiot!" The sophomore laughed. "You never through away an unfinished slushie."
"But...this is a smoothie." Dean stated the obvious, wondering it Billie had taken too many baseballs to the head.
"It's a cold and thick drink. It'll do for your first time. But from now on you get slushies and never throw them out." Joey said.
"Then...what should I do with it?" He asked. These guys got weirder and weirder by the second.
"You throw it at the losers stupid!" Joey said.
"Wait...you just...What?" Even Chris laughed this time.
"Just find a loser and chuck a slushie at them. Ah. There's the perfect victims right now."
Same place 12:58 P.M
"You're going to get brain freeze." As usual, Anik ignored his best friend entirely and continued to scarf down ice cream, and then slurp his milkshake.
"Ow! Brain freeze! Why didn't you warn me Hadiya?"
"I did stupid." Hadiya hit him on the head with her book.
"You should know very well by now, that you don't tell me stuff, you rip it out of my reach!"
"Whatev- ah!" Hadiya gasped when the ice-cold green slushie was dropped right on her head, followed by a...smoothie on Anik? "Pavitra bakavāsa! Kyā bakavāsa hai?(1)" She cursed in Hindi.
"What the hell was that for?" She spun around to see the familiar three idiots and a new one, who was probably a freshman. They just continued to laugh, some more than others, as they walked away.
"Yum." Anik had shaken his coal black hair like a dog before licking his lips from the smoothie.
"You. Are. An. Idiot." Hadiya stalked off to dry her book and grab her extra pair of clothes, which she insisted Anik bring too. She opened her locker and waited for the...
"Hey... Hadiya?"
"What?"
"Did you bring me any-?"
Hadiya threw a pair of jeans and a red t-shirt at him without even glancing up. "Thanks."
"Sure." She smiled at her best friend. "But wasn't it you that said,' The slushie machine's are never opened on the first day of school anyway!' I told you they were every year! You never listen to me."
"I'm sorry, what'd you say?"
"Ha-ha." Hadiya replied dryly. She quickly walked to the girls' bathroom before anyone else could see her in her now ruined clothes. She quickly changed into what would have been her first choice for a first day of school outfit, a cute white blouse with black skinny jeans, silver flats with rhinestones at the toe, and a black cardigan.
"Anik!" She kicked and squirmed but he just laughed and held her tighter.
"Diya!" He mocked.
"Let me down! Now!" Her Indian accent became more apparent as her anger increased.
"Why should I?"
"Because I'll tell your parents it was you who dumped salt in the sugar compartment at their restaurant last week, and ruined all the deserts!" She let out a yelp as she was immediately dropped on her butt.
"Anik!" She cried. She stood up, rubbing her derriere.
"How did you know?" He demanded worriedly. "Who told you?"
"You did, just now," She grinned, glad that she had freaked him out. "What's this?" She looked at a bright yellow sheet that had fallen on the floor, "Glee club?"
"What's that?"
"Don't you know anything?"
"Um...no?"
"Glee is show choir. Basically you dance and sing in a group of at least twelve people."
"Sound like fun...join with me?"
"Glee club? Have you heard of what happens to those kids?"
"It'll be nothing new. C'mon. Please?" He begged.
"I guess it sounds kind of fun..."
"Yes!"
Hallway 1:30 P.M
"Yes Dad. I know Dad. Got it Dad. No, I'm not giving you sass Dad. Fine Dad. I get it! I'll sign up for some stupid extra activity!" Will hung up quickly before throwing his phone into his locker.
"What was that all about?" His best friend Noah asked as they grabbed stuff from their lockers.
"It's not bad enough our parents are making us go to high school like we're not literal geniuses, but my dad says I have to sign up for some artsy thing. Apparently they look good on a college app or something. Who needs college anyway? It's just a bunch of stupid kids like here anyways. We already know anything they'd try and teach us."
"Sucks for you. At least next year I'm out."
"Yeah, lucky you." He slammed his locker and they walked towards the sign up board. The sign up sheet for Cheerios and all the sports were full already (no surprise) everything else was too lame to even think about.
"What about glee club?" Noah pointed out the yellow sheet Will had missed. There were only 5 names, and realized he only knew two of them, and only because they were in his grade. After looking at everything else, Will sighed. "I guess that's my best option. Loserdom, here I come."
So, at the end of each chapter I am explaining if there have been any changes and what they were. Sometimes the changes will be noticeable and better for the story as a whole, and other times they won't be that noticeable. In this, I added some Hindi swearing on Hadiya's part, and tweaked it so that you guys get the pronunciation instead of the original letters. I've also gotten rid of typos, and messed with the dialogue a bit, just fixing some things I didn't like.
(1) She said "Holy crap! What the hell?"
As a whole, I'm making it so that Will and Emma are married, and Finn and Rachel are going to get married soon. Because I really think they shouldn't get married until they're out of college. Ya know, too many distractions. So, that's that. I already have the next chapter re-vamped, and it will be posted tomorrow.
