"That's a horrible song choice!"

I put on my best offended look. "Ms. Emma Pillsbury, that was quite rude to say. I put a lot of effort into my selection."

Emma laughed. "I highly doubt that 'Stupid Hoe' was the best you could do."

"What has Nicki Minaj ever done to you?"

Emma grabbed a pillow and whacked me with it.

"Oh god, I'm injured. I need help.." I dramatized as I hit the ground.

Everytime we hang out, all we can do is laugh. We act like little children around each other. We bring out the inner child out of each other. Through all the rough times I've been through, I know I can count on Emma to cheer me up. That's why she's my best friend. We met about 3 years ago when she first started working at McKinely High and we instantly became best friends..

"Shit. I'm going to be late." I said to myself, running down the halls. As I turned around the corner, pamphlets flew everywhere.

"Oh my goodness, I'm sorry." I said, picking up all the pamphlets. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah yeah. Just no running in the halls though. I don't know how many times teachers have to tell you kids that for you to understand."

I looked up and I had no clue to who she was. I would've remembered if I had seen her before. You don't get a woman like that just walking by everyday.

"Trust me. I think I've told enough students that myself."

She looked up and turned as red as her hair.

"I'm so sorry! I swore you were a student here." She said and put out her hand. "But.. hi, I'm Emma Pillsbury. I'm the new guidance counsellor here and you are?"

"Will Schuester." I shook her hand. I looked down at what I was picking up. "Haha, clever titles."

"Thank you." She smiled brightly.

"So you're new here?" She nodded and I smirked. "So are you from Tennessee because you are the only ten I see." I winked and she laughed.

"Don't even try." We both laughed and we both got up.

"So Emma Pillsbury, would you like to sit with me at lunch today? I would love to learn more about you."

"I would really enjoy that, Will Schuester."

"As much as I would like to save to your life right now, I've got to go." Emma said as she got up and gathered her things.

"Oh, where to?" I asked as she helped me up.

"I've got a date."

"Someone asked you out?" I exclaimed, opening the door for her.

"Very funny, Schuester." Emma smiled. She kissed my cheek and walked out.

"Coffee tomorrow?" I yelled to her across the hall.

"See you there!"

I smiled and shut the door. It was summer and I finally had time to just relax. I grabbed a beer and watched some football. Just as I was starting to relax, my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Will! Honey!"

"Hi mom."

"How are you and that beautiful fiancee of yours?"

I forgot to mention that I told my family that I had a fiancee which I don't really have. It isn't really my fault. My family has always been on my back about relationships and starting a family. I was just tired of it and it slipped out..

"Will, just because you can't get a date, you don't need to hate." James laughed.

I hate these reunions. It's the same thing every year. My older brother teasing me and getting everyone to join along. Why do I even bother going to these things? Just because James is married with two kids, doesn't make him better than me.

"Making things rhyme doesn't make you cool.." I hesitated for a second."And as a matter of fact, I have a girlfriend."

James looked shocked. "No way." I smirked. "My little squirt has a girlfriend." He mumbled.

"Hey guys!" James yelled. "Little squirt over here has a girlfriend!"

Oh shit.

The lie grew bigger and bigger after that and now I'm engaged.

"We're great."

"Well honey, the reason I called is that we're having our annual Schuester reunion this weekend. Remember when you used to go? We had so much fun!"

"Of course mom but I'm a busy man."

"Well, no excuses this year. You are coming and you're bringing that fiancee of yours."

"Oh mom, I don't know about that. My fiancee is sick at the moment and... and she won't be able to feel better by then."

"Then I'll drive over there and give her my special soup. That will help her rig-" "No!" I panicked. "I mean.. false alarm. She says she'll be able to last a week there..."

"Oh great! I'm so excited. I can't wait to tell the rest of the family."

"I can't wait for them to meet her..."

"This is going to be great! Don't worry, I'll tell everybody not to embarrass you too much. Bye Will! Love you!"

"Love you too..."

I dropped the phone and ran my hands through my hair. I'm screwed now. Why did I make that stupid lie in the first place? This is all James fault. If he wasn't such a douche bag then maybe this wouldn't be happening.

Damn it. What am I going to do? I can't just get a fiancee... I have trouble getting a date for heaven sakes. Maybe I can pay someone to do it... Would someone actually do that for money? I can hold auditions but what if one of them see it? I'm screwed over in every situation.

To add on to the situation, this girl has to be perfect. She has to impress my family.. especially James. She has to be nice, funny, beautiful, and just all around lovable. She has to be a pretty damn good actress to pull off this and there's also the fact that I have to actually like the person for me to be able to pull it off..

This is going to be one long night.
