A/N: I'll keep this note short and sweet with a longer one at the end of the chapter. I haven't written in over 3 years, and this is my first attempt at a Glee fic. While I hope you take it easy on me, constructive criticism and much love is all I ask of my fellow Glee fans. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Lauren Zizes or Glee, but I do own my OC's!

"What were you thinking? Wait, no, don't bother answering that. You weren't thinking, were you? Seriously, Lauren, what the hell made you say yes?"

Lauren Zizes crossed her arms across her chest, flopping onto her bed as her best friend, Kassie, ranted at her. Her cat, Jerry, hopped onto her lap and curled up into a ball. She sighed, used to the long winded rants of her best friend, waiting for her to stop speaking so the wrestler could have her turn.

"Kay, the guy needed help. I had just saved the punk from the porta potty, he smelled like shit, literally, and he's hot. Puckerman was desperate; he managed to find some Cadbury eggs and agreed to make out with me. Of course I couldn't say no. Best three minutes of my life."

The wrestler grinned, images of her session in the janitors' closet with the school's badass flashing through her mind. It was easily the best make out session ever.

Kassie frowned, shifting her plus sized form in her friends' desk chair. The teen didn't like the idea of her best friend joining the Glee Club. She was worried for the other girl and for her safety at McKinley.

"'Ren, you don't understand. You may be the toughest girl at school since you are on the wrestling team, but that is the only reason why you haven't been slushied or locker checked like the rest of us. The others didn't dare mess with you. Once this Glee Club crap gets out, you will be fair game. You will be subject to that crap just like all those other losers!"

"Fuck, Kassie! You wanted to join that club yourself, remember? Last year when Schuester started the group you wanted to join and I had to talk you out of it then. What happened to the girl that told me just last week that had you been in the club, they would have won Regionals last year?"

Huffing, Lauren stood, leering over her friend, locking her brown eyes on her friends' deep blues. "If you don't want me joining Glee, then you really aren't my friend. I can handle those jerks if they dare to mess with me. I thought you of all people would have supported me. We've been friends since elementary school, and I would be there if you decided to join, probably sitting next to you. I can't believe you are making a big deal out of this."

Dejectedly, the other girl nodded. "You're right. Of course you are. You would have been right there, just like you have always been. I was there for you when you wanted to join the boys wrestling team, and I will be for you now. If you like Puckerman, and you want to join Glee, then I will support you."

Lauren nodded and took a step back. "Good. You know, you could join with me. It would be freaking awesome to do this together since you don't wrestle. Besides, you can actually sing. And we would kick serious ass in there. The New Directions wouldn't know what to make of this kick ass duo!"

With a grin, Kassie stood and embraced her best friend in a tight hug before stepping back, beaming. "I would love, too! They wouldn't know what to make of us!"

The girl's face fell for a moment as it began to sink in. "You like Noah Puckerman, don't you, Laur? You're doing this to get closer to him, aren't you?" She fell back into the chair, the realization making her sink.

Sitting back onto her bed, Lauren frowned. What on earth was wrong with her friend? "Yeah, I think I do. Kissing Puck was a hellova lot better than kissing Jerry. He liked the kiss too. Why can't I try and get the guy? He's a total badass, just like me. And his abs are hot. So yeah, I want to join to hang out with him. You don't have to, if you don't want to. But… I am going to."

With a heavy sigh, blue eyes looked up into brown and Kassie smiled faintly. "So it's settled; we join Glee Club. We'll get our first slushies together."

Both girls stood and embraced in a hug.

"New Directions, watch out; we're heading you're way!"

A/N: I hope you like this. I figured, no one really knew Zizes, and I absolutely adored her. Let me know if you think I should continue, and your thoughts on the piece. Your reviews and advice will be greatly appreciated.
