McKinley is a school which is famous for cliques and people and their little groups, of various levels of popularity, fighting to try and reach the top. Of course there were quite a few people that didn't care about popularity, but the daily slushee stopped them from making a point about it.

The cafeteria at McKinley never changes, on the table that was in the centre of the room sat the cheerios, one cheerio in particular sat with her head held high and her golden haired shimmering as she flicked her pony-tail with boredom. Nothing interesting had happened so far that day, no gossip and rumours. Her eyes looked over at the doors wondering if she should just leave and find something a bit more interesting to do than sit in the cafeteria listening to her 'best friend' go on about some guy who she hadn't even heard of before. She wasn't sure why she was even friends with this girl, she wasn't even a cheerleader.

"Amber are you even listening?" Imogen Moralez said with a scowl on her face.

"Yeah totally," her cheery tone sounded very forced. "You like that guy Max, right?"

"Matt!" Imogen rolled her eyes. "I knew you didn't care."

"Fine! I'm listening now," Amber gritted out between her teeth.

Imogen pointed out Matt who was sitting by the windows of the room. Matt Cameron was a senior, meaning he was slightly older than the two girls. What caught Amber's attention was the leather jacket draped over the back of the chair. He was decent looking, she decided, I like a dark haired boy.

"Bit out of your league, Immy," Amber began. "Leave this guy to a cheerio."

Imogen scoffed back a laugh, giving Amber her best bitch-please glare. "Why have a cheerio when he can have me?"

Amber had to laugh out load at that, who could possibly be a better catch than herself? "Sorry short-stuff, but leave this to the big girls -namely me."

Short. Imogen's face took on a deathly fierce expression and her fingers ran through the pink strip in her straight black hair. She stood up and flung her tray onto the floor, causing the rest of the student population to turn around and look at the commotion, then stormed out the room pushing over a girl on her way out.

Well, Amber thought, day just got a bit less boring.


In a separate part of the school, completely oblivious to the drama revolving around Imogen and Amber, Lucas George sat in the deserted auditorium eating his lunch. Before you ask, no the senior was not obsessed with Star Wars, well… maybe a little bit, but that wasn't something you go around admitting in a school like McKinley. He preferred the solitude of the auditorium to the cafeteria, every once in a while he just liked to get up on the stage and sing when no one was around. He scanned the room to see if there were any people before climbing up on to the stage. He stood dead centre and ran a hand nervously through his brown curls, imagining the spotlight on his face.

He pulled the earphones out of his ipod and soon the opening melody blast through the room bringing it alive. He began to sway to the tune as he opened his mouth and sang the lyrics.

And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

Slowly as he gained more confidence he picked up his voice to belt out the chorus and raise his arms like he was being given a standing ovation.

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Lucas then began to move more with the music until he was completely pulled in and dancing around the stage with a broad smile on his face.

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now

He slowed down the song and sang the last two lines softly.

Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

Slow clapping came from the door way and he looked up shocked, but then the room became silent as he noticed it was Eleanor Cruz. He didn't really know the girl other than the fact that she was the bullies main target. It was only when he got a closer look at her that he noticed that she was covered in food.

"Are you okay?" He asked lamely.

"Yeah… I'll be fine. It was Imogen she shoved me over into a load of food… I thought I'd come here and be alone for a while…" Eleanor began.

"I can leave if you want?"

"It's fine you can stay if you want, I don't mind," Eleanor trailed off not knowing what to say. The room soon became slightly tense and awkward as neither person spoke.

"You're really good," Eleanor said, breaking the quite, "why don't you join Glee."

Lucas chuckled, "That'll put Mr Schue into shock."

Mr Schuester's story was a strange one, the once amazing New Directions took Nationals by storm, amazing power ballads were belted out by a girl named Rachel Berry and the Glee club became top of the school. That didn't last long though and soon Glee became the place all the losers hang out and after excessive bullying even they didn't want to risk it. As far as Lucas was aware no one had been in the glee club for years.
