Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or She's the Man. The ideas used in this fic are from the creaters of Glee and She's the Man, not me. The only thing I own is Harleigh and Haden Evans, and several other minor characters.
Author's Note: I read a fic sometime last week with this theme, sort of, and then a few days later, I watched She's the Man, and I couldn't not write this. The writer of the fic that inspired this was TransformersGleek56. Also, this is unbeta'd, so there will be errors until I have time to read over it again.
Chapter One:
"I was rejected?" Harleigh looked at the letter in her hands, her eyes reading over that one sentence over and over.
"What? Are you serious?" Her best friend, Kelsey, grabbed the paper from her hands and began reading. "What the fuck is this shit? You're the best singer I know!"
Harleigh groaned and fell back against her bed, grabbing her pillow and covering her face.
"This has got to be a mistake. You sing much better than those assholes! C'mon, get up. We're going to talk to the sponsor. Who is it again?"
Harleigh sat up, her hands still clutching the pillow. "Mr. Carter."
Kelsey's head snapped to look at her friend. Her eyes slowly came to a glare. "Oh, you know why he rejected you. He's still pissed that your mom beat him out for all of the solos back when they were in high school! I still can't believe he's at Westerville now considering they both grew up in Columbus."
"Yeah, I know. Anyway, there's no way talking to him is going to get me in. They're really strict when it comes to this Glee club. It's a little ridiculous," Harleigh said, sighing.
It was all she ever wanted to do since she had learned that she would be transferring to Westerville High School. Westerville only held auditions during the summer, so Harleigh had shown up to each day of auditions both excited and ready. She felt that the auditions had gone great. She even got a callback. Apparently Mr. Carter didn't feel the same way.
Kelsey was about to go on another rant when a knock at Harleigh's door stopped her. Harleigh yelled "come in!" and the door opened, her brother Haden poking his head in.
"Hey, Harl, you have a minute?" He asked her quickly. His voice was slightly hushed. Harleigh eyed him suspiciously and nodded. Haden came in and shut the door behind him, locking it, as well.
Haden was seventeen, almost eighteen. Even though he was a year older than Harleigh, they looked like they could be twins. Both had chocolate brown hair along with piercing blue eyes and the same facial structures, Harleigh's, of course, more feminine than Haden's.
"Yeah, so uh, I'm not going to be able to go to Dalton next week," he said, taking a seat on her desk chair.
"What are you talking about? Why not?"
"Well, uh, me and some buddies are going on a road trip. Around the states. They graduated last year, so this is there big thing, and they want me go. I can't pass this up, Harl."
Harleigh couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter. "Seriously, Haden? And what are you going to tell mom?"
"Nothing. She's gunna think I'm still going. It's a boarding school. She won't know. I want you to go talk to the dean, though. Tell her that I'm really sick or something."
"Haden, I am not going to be a part of this."
"Please, Harleigh. It isn't a lot to do. I really want to go on this trip." He stood up and walked up to her. "I'll do anything. Just name it."
Harleigh rolled her eyes, groaning. "Ugh, fine, whatever. Just bring me back some awesome souvenirs. They better be amazing, Haden."
"Ah! Thank you. I love you!" With that, he leaned down and gave her a big kiss on the cheek before running out the room.
Harleigh made a disgusted face and wiped her cheek. Her eyes moved from the door to Kelsey, who stood there looking deep in thought. "What are you up to?" Harleigh asked cautiously.
"Harleigh, I know how you can get back at Carter," she said, turning to her friend, a devious grin gracing her lips.
"What are you talking about?"
"You need to take Haden's place at Dalton. You have a beautiful voice. I know you can make their Glee club."
"Are you serious? Kelsey, that's stupid! I would never get away with it!"
"You fucking would! Just cut your hair and don't wear make-up. You guys would look like for real fucking twins."
Harleigh just laughed and shook her head. "No, dude. No way."
"Harleigh, this is a legit plan. Come on! Don't tell me you wouldn't want to get back at him for rejecting you!"
Harleigh shook her head, but her mind was turning. Could she really get away with it? No, what was she thinking. Of course, she couldn't. But…
"I'm telling you Harleigh. It would work."
"But what would I do about school? If I go to Dalton, I won't be able to go to Westerville," Harleigh retorted, standing up. She walked to her desk and sat down, opening her laptop.
"Give them the sick excuse you're supposed to give for Haden," Kelsey stated so matter-of-factly.
"Kelsey, that is not going to work. What are you doing? Kelsey-"
"Shh." Kelsey had picked up Harleigh's house phone and dialed Westerville's number. "Hi, this is Ms. Evans, I'm calling about the registration of my daughter, Harleigh Evans. Yes, I would like to postpone her attendance. [pause] Her father is very sick. We're divorced, you see, and he lives in New York, so we're going to stay with him until we see improvement. [pause] Of course, one second." Holding the phone away, she looks at Harleigh. "What's your social security number?" Harleigh gives her a bewildered look, but writes it down and hands it to her anyway. After reciting it to the lady, Kelsey nods.
"Yes, thank you. Oh, and I would like to change the emergency numbers, please. [pause] Okay, I need the house number to be taken off since we aren't going to be here obviously. [pause] Yes, and for my cell phone number, I'd like you to change it to this number. That cell phone was stolen, and my contract was ending anyway, so… new number and phone!" She laughs and Harleigh can hear a laugh from the other end. Was Kelsey really getting away with this? "Thank you so much. What's your name again? [pause] Ms. Linda, thank you so much. I'll let you know when Harleigh will be coming back. Thanks again. Bye!"
Harleigh still looked flabbergasted when Kelsey hung up. "Did that really happen?"
Kelsey looked quite proud of herself when she nodded. "Yup."
Harleigh sighed and put her head into her arms on her desk. She mumbled something that Kelsey couldn't hear, and she lifted her head.
"Alright, well, time for a haircut! You've been thinking about going short, right?" Kelsey said with a big smile.
Harleigh groaned again. What did she get herself into?
