Hey Glee Section!
This idea has been bugging me for a while, and I figured I needed to spread my wings (I've been very one-fandom minded lately.) So I bring you this.

The click of heels was audible, even over the chatter of the crowd. The students turned towards the sound of the incessant, angry tapping, and parted like the red sea.
Under any normal circumstance, the rushing golden-haired queen bee of Lima High wouldn't have been anything to draw attention, but she had a dangerous gleam in her eye that made even the seniors press themselves a little farther out of her path. An asian girl broke away from the masses and fell in on the queen's right side. Becca took in her friends carefully, and uncharacteristically stoic expression.
"Addison?" Becca asked, "What happened?" Addison hadn't had an episode like this for weeks, and Becca couldn't help but think that this was far better then the way she had reacted to Jesse St. James 'being discovered'.
"Corcoran lied to us." Addison snapped, tossing her hair over her shoulder, and speeding up. Becca watched her friend storm into their director's office, worried. Addison was the most in control person she knew, and watching her lose her cool like this was scary.
The door clicked shut, and Addison stood in front of the imposing wooden desk.
"Be with you in a minute." Miss. Corcoran didn't look up from her papers. It took all of two minutes for Addison to start tapping her foot, and clearing her throat. Finally, she got Shelby's attention.
"Hey Addison! How is everything?" Shelby asked, stacking the papers and pushing them to the side.
"Not so great. Miss Corcoran. I've recently been informed of some very shocking information." Addison said icily, taking a step closer to the desk.
"Well, take a seat, and we can talk about it. You're obviously upset." Addison almost felt bed for Shelby Corcoran, they had worked together since Addison could speak, and they were friends outside of school and Vocal Adrenalin, but Addison couldn't see that now.
"No thank you. I wanted to let you know that I found out the truth about Jesse." Addison's voice was thick with emotion. "You made him break up with me." Addison was hoping Shelby would deny it, but she simply waited for Addison to continue. "I thought it fair to tell you I'm going to William McKinley High tomorrow, and I wanted to wish you luck, trying to win any competition, let alone nationals, without your golden couple." Addison raced towards the door, not wanting to cry in the office.
She made it outside, before the tears started coming. Losing her boyfriend, and her choir support group so suddenly was difficult to deal with. She didn't even know why she told Corcoran she was transferring. Jesse already had another girlfriend, and she didn't want to give up her nationally acclaimed group for one that was just starting out.
But then she remembered the look in Jesse's eyes when he told her he couldn't see her anymore. At first she was bewildered, why would the boy she'd been dating since freshman year want to suddenly end their relationship? Then she realized he'd been talking to Shelby earlier that day.
When she saw him around Lima with that pathetic excuse of a leading lady the New Directions were pushing, everything finally made sense. All the phone calls, all the missed messages. Any other time, she would have let it slide, but this was their senior year. Prom, graduation, the final nationals that would make them the only senior class to go undefeated. Addison wanted Jesse back to experience all that, because there was no way that scrawny little ego with legs would be able too.
Addison walked into the McKinley high school office early the next morning.
"I'd like to register. I just moved here from across town, and it's too far to get to Lima High every day." Everyone knew she was lying, but the 'kicked puppy' glint in her eye helped her get her papers and schedule before the first bell even rang.
Addison looked around the school with disgust. Lima High obviously got the bigger piece of pie when it came down to finances. But she squared her shoulders and headed off to her next class. She was determined to get what she wanted, and she wasn't going to let anything stop her.
I don't know how well this is going to go over, it doesn't seem like there's any stories like this out here...
Anyways, let me know what you think in the reviews!
