Chapter 1: Accusations

It had been hard to take in the news that Kurt left New Directions. But most people didn't blame him. In fact, some of the members in Glee Club felt responsible that they didn't do enough to prevent Kurt from feeling he had to leave from all the bullying, but it was too late now. New Directions was just going to have to look past this whole ordeal and focus on Sectionals.

Puck was the first one at the Glee Club meeting today. All the other glee members thought it was unusual that not just today, but for the past few weeks Puck was always the first one there. Before Puck was thrown in juvie for crashing his mom's volvo and steeling an ATM machine, he would always be one of the last members to show up, even late sometimes. It wasn't just odd that he was the first one there, but it seemed that Puck was just sitting in the glee room like he had been waiting for them; almost like he got there really early and just waited and waited until people showed up. Even Mr. Schue arrived after Puck did.

But before anyone could think anymore out of it, Mr. Schue addressed the class, "Everyone, I have an annoucement to make." He seemed depressed, and everyone looked up and knew it was bad news by the tone of his voice.

"It seems that someone has leaked the set list for Sectionals. Again." Mr. Schue put emphasis on the last word, "And not only that, but it seems that someone has been tampering with the band's equipment, so we have to wait a while to practice with music."

"What? This can't be happening. Why would someone do this to us?" Rachel commented unbelievingly.

"Well it wasn't any of the Cheerios, we've been so caught up with practicing for Regionals, we barely have time to tie our own shoes," Quinn stated matter-of-factly.

"Maybe it was Sue," Mercedes didn't hesitate, "she's always trying to destroy glee club, and she was the one that leaked our set list last year."

"Sorry Mercedes, I've already asked Sue, and usually I wouldn't believe her, but she made a point that it wasn't her," Mr. Schue, of course, would think of Sue Sylvester as the prime suspect.

"Sue!" Mr. Schue yelled across the halls of McKinley High. "Sue! Will you stop running!"

Sue stopped in her tracks, turned around and faced Will Schuester, "I am not running. I will have you know, I am speed walking. I am far too busy to have a chat with you or your insanely gelled hair. Besides, I purposely try to get away from you, I can barely stand the smell of your presence in this school as it is."

Mr. Schue rolled his eyes after hearing another one of Sue's long rants and got right to the point, "Did you leak our set list?"

"Well, I am insulted... and a little flattered. Giving credit to me for something so ingenious is an honor. Whoever did this should be awarded and applauded."

Sue was just about to turn around when Will caught her shoulder, "Are you forgetting you leaked the set list last year?"

"Listen, last year I openly flaunted leaking your set list. If I leaked it again, I would have been the first one to tell you. Besides, me and my cheerios are practicing everday around the clock for Regionals. My highly trained spies have infiltrated another school in Lima that's been working it's way up to the top with a new coach so I'm making my cheerios work extra hard this year in order to be on top where. we. belong." Sue made sure to poke Will hard in the chest for every word she emphasized at the end of her sentence.

"Okay, Okay, I believe you. You make a valid point." Mr. Schue said, almost dissappointed he couldn't just blame it on Sue.

"Okay, well if Coach Sylvester didn't do it, then it must have been someone in the glee club. No one else could have possibly known our set list," said Finn.

"Well if it wasn't the Cheerios, who was it? It's not like any of us have anything to gain from leaking our own set list," Puck said, and everyone sat quietly in thought, thinking of possible explanations.

Then all of a sudden, as if a lightbulb had lit over everyone's head, the entire glee club stared directly at Puck.

"Maybe it was you," Mercedes said like she knew Puck was the traitor without any second thought.

"What are you crazy? Why would I give away our set list?" Puck asked with a defensive tone.

"You've never liked Glee Club, you just got out of juvie, and you've been acting weird lately," Mercedes said.

"Acting weird? Like how?" Puck was getting angry now. After all this time, they still don't trust him. They still don't think he is loyal to glee club.

"...You know, Mercedes is kinda right, you've been coming early to Glee Club lately. That would give you enough time to tamper with the instruments without anyone seeing you," Finn said not wanting to come off too strong.

Everyone nodded they're heads in agreement. Puck was looking at everyone in the room.

"Oh c'mon guys! I did not tamper with those band geek's equipment! And I did not leak the set list!" Puck was out of his chair now, practically begging for someone to believe him.

Just when people were starting to think maybe Puck didn't do it, Artie says, "Well you have been acting kinda secretive."

"You too, Wheels? Please, enlighten me." Puck is starting to get fed up.

"Well, remeber that time we were in the locker room and I asked if I could get your extra gloves from your locker because I left mine in Glee?" Artie asked.

Puck raised his eyebrow, "Yeah, so?"

"So? You went crazy, wouldn't let me look in your locker. You told me that you didn't have your extra gloves and pushed me away from your locker. I almost ran into Sam."

"Yeah you were acting suspicious," Sam said quietly, afraid if he said it any louder he might get punched.

"Can it, big mouth!" Sam cringed while Puck continued, "listen I might have been acting weird, but I would never betray glee club." He said with sincerity.

It was silent, everyone was looking away from Puck trying to avoid eye contact. Puck's eyes were pleading for someone to believe him as he just stared at his fellow classmates avoiding his eyes looking down at their feet or the walls. Puck's previous anger had turned to sadness, although he tried not to show it. Puck didn't want people to see how much these accusations hurt him so he just sat back down in his seat and tried to put on the most pissed and badass face he could.

Mr. Schue decided to cut in, "I think that's enough, we don't know who did this for sure, but we can't just make assumptions without proof. There is no practice today because of the instruments, so we'll just have to reschedule for tomorrow. You're dismissed for now."
