Regarding Prom, I have nearly finished the next chapter. Sorry it's been so long but i've been really busy with school work, as all my coursework was being moderated last week. But it will be up ASAP :)
This story just came from an idea I had one day. I have to write things down straight away otherwise I forget and I ended up writing this chapter and half of the next one in one night...So here it is :D
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee and i'm incredibly sad about that, so don't rub it in yeah! (I joke)
Set after Born This Way.
The students of McKinley high school had never been anything out of the ordinary. No one famous, successful or well known had ever come from there. At that school it was better to just keep your head down, follow the crowd and try and fit in. There were cheer leaders, jocks, nerds, goths and outcasts. Every school has them. But not in every school do they mix. Not in every school do they become friends, and grow to love and care for each other. Not in every school do they express them selves through singing in a choir room in front of their closest friends. However in this school, they did.
The Glee club consisted of a group of kids, from all different backgrounds and social classes. But when they got together and sang, something special happened. Sure some of them got to shine more than others, but The Glee club enabled these kids to be who they wanted to be and to show people what they were capable of.
It was while he was eating his lunch that Wednesday afternoon, that Will Shuester thought about just how special his glee club were. Just how proud of them he was. How they were all super stars and deserved to go all the way. He felt the sudden need to tell them this. Just to give them that bit more inspiration and support. He was glad Glee Club was straight after lunch.
As he heard the bell ring, signaling the end of lunch, he turned around to see Emma getting up and leaving the staff room. He and Emma hadn't exactly had the best journey together. But dentists and crazy ex wifes aside, they were good together. They understood each other and and Will was good with Emma's OCD and truely believed that one day she would overcome it. But for now, he would just have to wait. It had only been a couple of weeks since Carl had left her. Her marriage was barely over. For now he would simply have to wait.
He walked through the busy corridor towards the choir room, taking in the sight of it all. The jocks all stood huddled together near a locker, exchanging stories about their last game and their weekends. He saw a group of cheerleaders walk past in a big group, laughing and flipping their hair. Then he turned around to see a sad face. The face looked on at the girls who had stopped at the waterfountain. The girl had long wavy blonde hair that flowed past her shoulders. Her blue eyes were still staring at the group of girls. Suddenly she turned back to her locker and slammed it shut.
"You okay Quinn?" said Will, approaching her.
"Yeah" she replied, sounding surprisingly cheery. She turned around to face him and smiled. "We better get going" she said after a couple of seconds. She walked towards the choir room and disapeared inside.
Quinn had been through a lot the previous year. An unwanted pregnancy with a boy she wasn't dating. Being disowned by her family and being made an outcast at a school where she was once on top. But recently she had been the old Quinn. She was dating Finn again and she didn't seem to be getting slushied that often. Which is why it was a strange for Will to see her looking so sad.
He followed her into the choir room to see his Glee club all sitting in a group chatting amongst them selves. He felt proud to be able to call them his Glee club. Quinn walked over and sat next to Finn who put his arm around her imediatly. This wasn't exactly a professional thing to say, but Quinn had Finn on lockdown. I guess it didn't really matter to him, as long as he got to be with her. They were each other's first loves. That's something special. However while he put his arm around Quinn Mr. shue spotted Finn glance across the room to another girl. The girl with brown air and the reindeer jumper standing by the piano. Rachel and Finn had been together previously. But there was definitely something still there between them. Rachel was talking to Brad, explaining a song she had been working on, occasionly looking annoyed, probably because he wasn't following her. It was fair to say Rachel was a complete control freak. But waltsing up to Rachel was a boy with an exreamly feminine shirt on. He looked younger than the other boys. Emma had told Will about the trips he made to her, explaining he was concerned with this. She told him that it was simply because he wasn't done growing yet. Not that this stopped him being himself. If there was a prize for self confidence then Kurt would win it hands down. He had transfered back to McKinley after being at Dalton. He decided that he missed his friends to much, and that this was where he belonged. Dalton had given him the boost he needed to come back here and face the bullies. He perched himself behind Rachel looking over her music and started commenting on it.
"Kurt, this is my song about my personal struggles what would you know about it?" said Rachel, stomping her foot down on the ground.
"My boyfriends been going around singing Rebecca Black for the last week, I know all about struggle thank you very much!" he said.
"That tune has been in my head all week!" shouted Puck from the back row. He was sitting with Lauren Zizes and had his hand on her thigh. That was a relationship that Will did not see coming. Usually his students were kind of predictable when it came to their love lives. Who knew the leading male Finn Hudson would start a relationship with Rachel Berry the leading female! But Lauren was not the type of girl Puck usually went after. His type was usually cheerleaders with the IQ of a wooden stick. Lauren was a smart girl who knew how to stick up for herself. Puck liked this about her because he was the same. All the hate he got while joining Glee club made him a stronger more caring person. Which is a huge achievemnet, as Will knew that it could have the complete oppistite affect on a person. Puck had gone from throwing kids in the dumpster to becoming a true friend to every single person in Glee club. Instead of throwing slushies at Kurt he now helped him clean him self up when the other jocks would do the throwing. Will ushered Rachel and Kurt back to their seats and stood in front of his class.
"Okay guys!" he said above all their voices. "Today we're going to start discussing our set list for Nationals. But first I want to tell you guys someth..." he began to say. But instead a look of confusion spread across his face. "Where are Mike and Tina?"
All the students fidgeted and shuffled around in their seats. Santanna finally spoke up.
"They had a massive fight in front of the whole choir room and Tina ran out crying. Mike followed her. It was incredibly entertaining" she said folding her arms.
"Not really, it looked like she was really upset" said Mersades, turning to Santanna.
"Which is incredibly entertaining" replied Santanna.
Mersades was about to say something else but Will jumped in and interupted.
"Okay! We'll just have to try and figure out the set list without them and get them caught up after" he said. He really needed the whole Glee club there before he told them all how he felt. So he decided to save it.
Santanna was known for being... vocal. She wasn't affraid to say what she thought about people, which didn't always go down well. She also, without a doubt had the biggest ego out of the whole class. But getting any guy you've ever wanted would do that to a person. She had started dating David Karofsky recently which hadn't surprised Will. He was a jock who was popular at the school. It was a perfect match really.
"Mr. Shue!" said Rachel, her hand in waving in the air. "I really think for Nationals we should continue down the road of Original songs".
"I couldn't agree more Rachel. This week i'm going to give you the job of going away and trying to write your own songs".
The group cheered and Puck highfived Lauren.
"Still have that 2nd verse of Trouty Mouth on stand by" said Santanna.
"Okay! So get going everyone!" said Will ignoring Santanna's comment.
Will walked out towards his office to go and get rhyming dictionarys. As soon as he was gone Puck started his plan.
"Okay, so massive party at my house tomorrow night!" he said.
"Wait, so who's going to this party exactly?" said Mersades not looking entirely impressed.
"Everyone!" said Puck.
Everyone raised their eye brows at him. No way would the school be seen dead at a party the Glee Club were at.
"Okay, well there's us. And Kurts new boy toy" he said looking around the room really having to think about this.
"That's not exactly everyone is it puckerman?" said Quinn.
"Well no, but we don't need anyone else! We had a blast last time didn't we?"
"Blaine made out with Rachel and then Tina barfed all over my shoes" said Kurt. "Wasn't really my idea of a perfect night".
"Yeah Puck, and besides we promised Mr. Shue we wouldn't drink until after Nationals" added Finn.
"Oh you guys suck! I got alcohol especially!" he said falling into his chair and slouching down. "Even that weird blue stuff that Rachel liked so much".
"Wait, you got some of that?" she said narrowing her eyes at Puck.
"Yeah, and do you know what I also got?" he said making everyone lean in. "Tots!"
"We're going!" said Mersades.
"Okay guys lets get started on this song writing!" said Mr. shue walking back into the room with stacks of dictionarys. "I'm sure you guys are going to be great and we'll get an amazing song out of this". He passed everyone a dictionary and stood watching them all flick through them. Yep. He was glad his Glee club were smart, responsible and in this to win it. Little did he know that at that moment the only thing they were in for was a night of drinking at Pucks house.
