Disclaimer: I don't own the fabulousness that is Glee or any of the characters but I do own this story and hope you enjoy it. There are a few things I feel I should explain. Leah, Sadie, Molly, Angela, and Kelsey are not originally Glee characters, I made them up based off of my friends. Also originally this story was meant for one of said friends so there are some inside jokes and such but I don't think those will cause any problems. Thirdly this story is set for season three. I like constructive criticism so review if you please and tell me what you liked or didn't like. Lastly I will post more chapters like every week because I am currently mailing a part of the story to my friend every week um so that's everything I think enjoy Gleeks :)
"Hey guys sit down; this week's lesson will be exciting I think" Mr. Shuster said as he scribbled a word diagonally across his dry erase board.
The Glee club was confused by the word.
"Welcome?" Artie voiced.
"Welcome what? No one is welcoming to us here and welcome is usually something you say when someone says thank you. When does anyone ever thank us?" Rachel ranted, talking speedily.
Mr. Shuster smiled "This week you guys will be welcoming four new girls to the glee club"
As he said that, 4 girls walked through the doors into the glee room. The glee guys raised their eyebrows, immediately admiring how gorgeous the girls were.
"Girls why don't you introduce yourselves?" Mr. Shu stepped aside and offered them the center of the room.
After a brief moment of trading glances and trying to decide who had to go first, the shortest girl with red hair and big glasses stood in front of the class. "Hi, I'm Molly" she gave a short wave. The other red head joined Molly. "I'm Kelsey, Molly's sister"
"I'm Angela, hello glee club" a weird girl with a chicken on her pants said.
The last girl came to stand beside them "I'm Sadie" she said
Fin leaned over to Rachel and whispered "Wow, doesn't she look just like Ms. Shumaker?"
Rachel nodded; Ms. Shumaker was new at McKinley too. She replaced Ms. Pillsbury and like the school Mr. Shu had been quick to replace Ms. Pillsbury too. Already he had been awkwardly flirting in the teacher's lounge with Ms. Shumaker.
Ms. Shumaker was much cooler than Ms. Pillsbury, she wasn't afraid of messes like Ms. Pillsbury, she let her students call her Leah instead of Ms. Shumaker if they wanted, and she filled her office with posters instead of stupid pamphlets.
"We're happy to have you girls, and class you will sing songs to welcome them all week ok." Mr. Shu said.
Blaine raised his hand "can I go first Mr. Shu?" Mr. Shu waved him forward. Blaine whispered to the band and the strings started playing. He walked over and took Molly and Angela's hand as he led the new girls to open seats while he began to say "Mishear Mademoiselle it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now we invite you to relax let us pull up a chair as the glee club room proudly presents"
The girls giggled at how animate Blaine was as he sang "Be Our Guest" from beauty and the beast.
"Be. Our. Guest. be our guest put our service to the test" Blaine sang.
Molly whispered to Kelsey "Can't wait to put his service to the test."
Eventually the rest of the glee club joined singing oohs, ahhs dancing and singing the chorus with Blaine.
Molly, Kelsey, Angela and Sadie clapped when the song was over.
"Great job guys but maybe you should've saved that for the cafeteria Blaine."Mr. Shu suggested.
Blaine shrugged "Food isn't really the point of the song."
For the rest of glee rehearsal Mr. Shu had the class watch videos of their competition for sectionals.
After rehearsal Molly and Sadie, Kelsey and Angela headed down to Ms. Shumaker's office. Leah was Sadie's identical older sister and Molly and Kelsey's cousin.
"How was your first day?" Leah asked spinning around in her chair.
"Blaine sang to me in glee club" Molly smiled assuming Leah knew who this Blaine kid was.
"He was singing to all of us" Angela reminded.
Leah smiled to herself deciding to let Molly and Angela find out for themselves that Blaine would never like them that way they would like him.
"Want me to make any changes to your schedules?" Leah asked.
Kelsey nodded "Can you put me in a different algebra class? This Brittney girl is in my class and she's dumber than a rock. So dumb she probably doesn't know what a rock is."
Leah typed on her computer, switching Kelsey's Algebra block with her Spanish block. "Now you'll have Spanish with Sadie and Molly"
"Yay" the girls sang in unison.
"I don't want Spanish but ya think you could put me in a class with them." Angela asked.
Leah glared at the computer screen willing it to show her an option of the girls having class together "How about aerobics mod 5? Then you could all have lunch together too" Leah triumphantly presented the idea.
Molly and Angela traded excited glances, remembering how grand aerobics class was when they had it together.
The next morning came quickly, it was a Friday. The girls had wisely chosen a Thursday as their first day because they knew it'd be an easy 2-day week.
Angela picked up Molly and Kelsey, who lived just 10 minutes away from her in her new house. Then they met Sadie in the school parking lot. Her sister Leah had driven her.
"Think we will be sung to again today" Sadie asked with a twinkle of hope in her eyes.
Angela rubbed her hands together "Yes, Mr. Shuster gave them an assignments to sing to us so they have to."
"I think that maybe today in glee we should sing our own welcome song" Kelsey suggested Molly gave her the 'you-just said-something-stupid-look'
"What do you mean?" Sadie asked, confused.
"Well we could sing them a song as if we were welcoming them to Sheridan." Kelsey elaborated.
"Like what?" Molly asked. The girls were now at their lockers gathering their books.
Kelsey shrugged. "I'll think about it and we'll work on it in lunch."
During lunch, in the teacher's lounge, Leah was digging her sandwich out of her lunchbox when Will (Mr. Shu) came and sat across from her.
"Hi Leah." He smiled. Leah smiled back but then focused on her yummy tummy lunch.
"Um so you think the new kids will settle in okay?" Will tried to start a conversation.
Leah gulped dramatically, Will didn't, and couldn't know her relations with the girls, she needed to keep it private so people wouldn't ever accuse her of favoring them or something.
"I saw them in your office after glee last night" Will said to remind Leah which 'new kids' he was referring to.
Leah nodded quickly "oh yes, them, I think they'll fit themselves in just fine."
"I'm having the glee club sing them songs of welcome" Will said.
Leah smiled as she dipped into her rich, creamy, delicious butterscotch pudding.
"That looks good" Will mentioned eyeing her pudding.
Leah looked at Will's lunch trying to find a way to compliment it but as always he just had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, potato chips, a little Debbie and a drink.
"That looks like your lunch" Leah said thinking it was the only thing to really say about it. Will stopped talking and focused on his lunch thinking Leah's comment was a hint to tell him to stop eyeing her lunch.
Later in glee, Artie and Puck stood in front of the room.
"We prepared something for the new girls Mr. Shu "Puck told winking in the girls' general direction.
"Is it appropriate?" Mr. Shu asked noticing Puck's gleeful smirk.
Artie nodded and immediately began singing "The stars come out the sun goes down and all that counts is here and now my universe will never be the same I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came"
Mike Chang joined them in a dance he choreographed for the song.
"You cast a spell on me, spell on me You hit me like the sky fell on me fell on me" Puck took over the next part.
"I'm glad you came" Artie and Puck eventually finished together.
Molly, Kelsey, Sadie and Angela clapped wildly. Then Kelsey raised her hand "Mr. Shu? We had been working on a song we'd like to sing, if that's ok. We imagined welcoming you all to Sheridan and this is the song we'd sing."
The girls positioned themselves and Sadie began after the band played a short country intro. "We've been up here in the city, living in the gears and grind, girl it's a dog gone pity we ain't been getting any time…"
"tell ya what we can do baby let's me a you take a little drive" Angela led into the chorus and she directed the line right at Blaine who smiled back at her as all 4 girls sang the chorus together. "Welcome to the farm where you can roll your windows down…"
The class clapped when the girls finished.
"Very good" Mr. Shu applauded getting a fantastical idea inspired by their performance.
Mr. Shuster looked over Leah's listed interest on her Facebook page. He didn't consider it creeping or stalking he was just trying to get close to her. This idea was sparked when his new glee kids had sang that Luke Bryan song. Will knew Leah was a country girl formerly but that song reminded him and gave him an idea to get Leah to notice him. Will smiled as he wrote down several artists that Ms. Shumaker's page said she liked.
The next day in glee club Mr. Shu presented his theme to the class, "This week we are only doing songs by Love and Theft, Miranda Lambert and Jason Aldean."
"Why only country and why only those few artist?" Rachel didn't bother raising her hand. "Because I want us to appreciate how amazing these guys are." Mr. She said simply. Sadie smiled "Wait till we tell Leah she'll be so jealous"
"We have to do a Jason song together" Molly rubbed her hands quickly together.
"I don't even know who those people are Mr. Shu. Are they even singers?" Brittney monotoned. Mr. Shu nodded "yes they are Brittney, here I'll sing one of their songs right now and brought some of their cds that I bought last night so you guys can pick through their songs and find one for yourself."
"What are you going to sing?" Angela asked eager for Mr. Shu's choice.
A Sly smile crossed Will's face "I actually just decided to keep my choice for later this week ok."
"Well me and Finn get 'Don't you wanna stay" Rachel declared.
Molly sent her a menacing glare because of course she wanted that duet for her and Blaine.
Mr. Shu looked over his class "Well you guys better get to work don't ya think? Class dismissed but I want to see some great performances tomorrow ok?" Mr. Shu told. As the class filed out of the room Finn motioned for the guys to hang back but Kurt left anyway with the flock of girls. "You think we should do a number together?" Puck guessed.
Finn nodded "Yeah we should, like maybe the most popular of Jason's songs or maybe his current single."
"Why Jason Aldean? Mr. Shu said we could do Miranda Lambert or Love and Theft too "Blaine reminded.
"Because Jason Aldean is a beast. He's like the King of Country or something" Sam explained with excitement.
Blaine raised an eyebrow "I don't think he's really called 'King of Country."
Sam shrugged "Well he should be. I think we should do a mash up of his recent singles."
"Aldean may be a beast like you say but I like that Angel Eyes song that Love &Theft do. I think I want to sing that one but there's two guys in that band so if someone wants to do that song with me it'd be cool." Artie told as he rolled towards the door.
Finn sighed "I guess we'll talk more later it's time to go to class."
Meanwhile Santana was gathering the glee girls at Rachel's locker excluding the newcomers.
"What do you want?" Mercedes snapped expecting the worse.
"I think we need to have a sleepover with the new girls. Get some bonding time and make sure they know how it's done around here." Santana told.
"That sounds fun" Tina smiled.
"No it won't be fun; we need to make sure they know which guys are off limits. You should've seen Molly's face when you said you were dueting with Finn." Santana snapped. Rachel furrowed her eyebrows, looking upset "Everyone knows me and Finn are an item we don't need to have a sleepover to establish that with the other girls." Rachel said.
"Fine you don't have to come but don't cry to us when one of them steals Finn away from you" Brittney said.
"I'm inviting them to my house this weekend so if you're in come to my house after school on Friday" Santana told then the girls dispersed to their classes.
Leah rummaged through her desk drawer looking for her tape, since it was a new week it was time for new posters in her room. She was required to keep some of her educational, inspirational stuff but she alternated her personal cool posters.
Using her chair as a ladder Leah reached up to pull her season 10 American Idol poster down, "I'm sorry it has to end like this Scotty" She whispered. As she tugged carefully at the corners she leaned back a little which was all it took for her chair to roll slightly. Leah expected to fall to her death or serious injury when the rolling of the chair stopped. She was stable again and a pair of strong hands were suddenly there holding the chair in place.
Leah looked gratefully at Mr. Shu. "Thank you, i was sure I was a goner."
Will laughed "You should get a stool or maybe a taller person to help you. These rollie chairs aren't so dependable."
Leah smiled to herself as Will hinted to himself and stood a little taller.
The American Idol poster was off the wall and in her hands now; Leah looked to her desk where another idol poster of season 11 was prepared and laying on top her desk. Leah pointed to it "Can you hand that to me?"
Mr. Shu hesitantly let go of Leah's chair and reached for the poster on her desk.
"Redecorating?" he guessed then looked at the poster he was handing Leah "You like American Idol?" Will wondered. A big smile was on Leah's face as she answered "I love love love it except in the bad years like when Candace won."
Mr. Shu had no idea who Candace was but he nodded and said "Oh yeah that year was the worse."
Leah's eyes widened "You watch idol?!"
Will shrugged "Um yeah of course it's like the best show ever."
Climbing down from her chair, Leah looked over to her George poster by the window and apologized mentally to him before asking Will to carefully (very carefully) take George off the wall.
"Who's going to replace him?" Will asked enjoying that their conversation had held Leah's interest longer than usual.
"No one replaces George, but my dear Hunter Hayes will be borrowing that spot upon my wall"
"Your dear Hunter Hayes?" Will repeated worried that this was the artist he should've had the kids do.
Leah smiled but said nothing.
Mr. Shu left for a Spanish class he had to teach feeling defeated.
"She likes whiskey with her water, she starts dancing when the stars come out" Artie sang as he fixed his hair in the bathroom.
"She ain't your typical preacher's daughter" Blaine joined in with Artie as he too was fixing his hair.
"She'll leave you dreamin' yeah there ain't no doubt" they sang and went into the chorus. While Molly was walking to class with Sadie she heard the most beautiful voice that she knew belonged to Blaine. Quickly she followed the sound and pressed her ear against the boys' bathroom door. "There's a little bit of devil in her angel eyes, she's a little bit of heaven with a wild side." Molly heard Blaine and Artie singing.
"What are you doing?" Sadie said pulling Molly from the door.
"Blaine's in there" Molly said trying to go back to the door.
"You can't do that" Sadie held on to Molly's arm tightly "they'll come out and think you're a freak"
"I'm admiring their performance, they'll appreciate that" Molly reasoned.
Sadie shook her head and pulled Molly further from the door.
"Saturday night she's rocking out by the bonfire," Finn's voice could be heard.
Sadie's eyes lit up as she let go of Molly and floated to the bathroom door to get a better listen.
Molly gasped "hey you just told me I couldn't do that."
"I hear Finn" Sadie said as if it explained it all.
"I can't stop wonderin, what it would be like to hold her all night" Finn continued singing the song. "She's got that something"
"That sexy innocence she must be heaven sent" Blaine sang. Then the trio finished up with one last chorus.
Molly and Sadie were basically melted puddles outside the bathroom, too awestruck to move even though they heard the boys coming out of the bathroom.
Finn pushed the door right into them, knocking them to the floor.
"Oh I'm so sorry" Finn quickly went to pull Sadie, who was closer to him, up. Meanwhile Blaine helped Molly up. Artie tried not to laugh at Finn's embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why that door opens into the hallway anyway" Finn apologized again
"No, no it's our fault" Sadie told,
Molly felt a quick fear that Sadie would explain why it was really their fault.
"We heard your song, it was really good." Sadie told.
All three guys smiled, not smart enough to wonder how the girls had heard them. "Thank-you, I think that's what we'll sing in glee club" Artie told.
Molly and Sadie nodded their encouragement.
"I loved how you made the song a trio, it sounded so good with all three of you." Molly praised.
"I think they'll actually have to do it as a duet thingy cause I wanted to do Jason" Finn said.
"Can I take your spot?" Molly asked quickly.
Artie, Finn and Blaine looked at each other then Finn smiled "Sure, I think Rachel wanted me to sing with her anyway."
Molly couldn't help but rub her hands together, who knew getting a chance to sing with Blaine would be so easy?
