Disclaimer: I hope you enjoy my story. I will try to update as much as possible. I only own Madison, Please R&R! Thanks!

Sam's POV

"Where do you want your box of dvds?" I asked my cousin, since I was helping her move into the spare bedroom in my house.

"Over by the tv is fine," she responded without looking up from one of her dresser draws. "I'll sort through them later."

I looked over at my cousin who was sorting through her shirts, color coding them by draw. She looked tired. Her long brown hair was thrown up into a messy bun on top of her head. She had dark bags under her big blue eyes, making her look even more tired, and it seemed like I wouldn't be able to get her to crack a smile.

"Is everything ok?" I asked her again sitting down on her bed.

"Yeah, everything things fine Sam. Thanks for helping me unpack," she said with a fake smile, sitting down next to me.

"Well if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here for you," I stated standing up.

"Thanks," she responded again as I left her room.

Madison and I had been close ever since we were little. We were cousins who were only three months apart, me being older. I had moved to Lima, Ohio a little over month ago from Tennessee and Madison moved out recently from Boston. She had a bad experience at her old school and needed to get out. So, since her parents weren't able to find a house that fast, they sent her out to live in our spare room. She had moved out to Lima only three days ago, but I still hadn't been able to make her crack a smile. I went into my room to get ready for bed, hoping tomorrow would go smoothly.

Regular POV

The next morning was Madison's first day at William McKinley High School. Sam left the same time as Madison to show her around and make sure she was settled.

"What class do you have first? " Sam asked her as they left her locker.

"Biology, "Madison responded, looking down at her schedule. "Room 107."

"Sweet, my class is right next door so I'll show you there, "Sam stated as he led her thought the hallways.

"Thanks Sam. I really appreciate everything you are doing for me. "

"Anytime Madison. Isn't that what family is for? "Sam said smiling at his cousin. Suddenly a blonde girl in a cheerleading uniform approached Sam and Madison with an angry expression on her face.

"Where have you been? "she demanded, looking at Sam. "And who is she? "

"Quinn, sweetie, "Sam said, giving the girl a kiss. "I'm sorry I forgot about meeting you in the library this morning. This is my cousin Madison, I told you about her the other day. I was just showing her around until she gets settled. "

"I am so sorry, "Quinn said to Madison. "Quinn Fabray."

"Madison Evans, "she responded shaking Quinn's hand.

"You're just not what I expected," Quinn said smiling at Madison. "You're a lot taller than I pictured, and I expected you to be blonde."

"I think everyone thinks that when they hear I'm related to Sam," Madison explained. "And yes brown is my natural hair color."

"Well, if you need any help around or anything just let me know," Quinn offered, she gave Sam a kiss. "I'm going to get going before I'm late for class. See you at lunch; I'll save you both a seat."

"Well that was interesting," Madison said as her and Sam continued to class.

"What do you mean?" Sam questioned.

"A nice cheerleader!"

"Oh," Sam smiled. "I told Quinn you had some issues, but didn't tell her what they were. So she said she'll help you around."

"Thanks," Madison said sarcastically as she reached her first class.

Madison walked into her first class, Biology, and took a seat at the end of the second row. Slowly the rest of her class filed in. She kept her eyes down on her notebook, really not wanting to mingle with anyone.

"Hi," a male voice said from beside her, taking the empty stool. "Are you new?"

Madison looked up to see a tall boy with brown hair and brown eyes, placing his stuff on the counter. "Yes," Madison responded "I just transferred here. I'm Madison Evans."

"Finn Hudson," he said shaking her hand. "Are you related to Sam?"

"I am. I'm his cousin. I just moved in with him."

"Nice," Finn said, not really knowing what to say next. "Sam's really cool. He's on the football team with me and he's in glee."

'Yeah I know," Madison said, smiling. "I always tease him for being in Glee."

"Why?" Finn questioned. "Glee is a lot of fun. We all look forward to our meetings after school and really love performing."

Before Madison could say anything else, the teacher walked into the room, beginning the lesson.

"Who's the girl with Sam?" Santana asked taking a seat at one of the tables in the cafeteria.

"Oh that Sam's cousin, Madison, she just moved here from Boston," Quinn explained, joining the others at the table.

"Sam," Madison said to her cousin. "I think I'm going to sit in the courtyard for lunch. I feel a little uncomfortable sitting at the table with you and your friends."

Madison looked over at the table she would be sitting at, and it was all jocks and cheerleaders.

"Why?" Sam questioned, looking over at the table.

"I don't really have friends yet, and I don't think it would make since for me to be sitting at the jock table."

"But you are. You played sports back home."

"Yeah, that was the old me," Madison said. "Sorry I just want to be alone."

Sam watched as she walked towards the doors leading out to the courtyard. He finally headed over to his usual seat with his lunch tray in hand.

"Where's Madison?' Quinn asked as Sam took his seat next to her.

"She went out to the courtyard," Sam said as he started to stuff his face with the raviolis they were serving for lunch.

"Whatever," Quinn said rolling her eyes.

"Madison took a seat on one of the benches outside, pulled out an apple and a book. She was getting into her book when someone suddenly sat down on the bench with her. She looked up to see Finn, from her biology class, sitting there.

"Hi," Finn said smiling.

"Hi," Madison replied, looking around.

"Oh is someone sitting here?" he asked standing up.

"No, no one's sitting there," Madison said smiling at him, and gestured for him to sit again.

"How is your first day going?" he asked, taking his seat again.

"It's ok, you know, average day in high school," she said, putting her book away.

"Why aren't you inside sitting at the table with Sam?"

"I didn't feel comfortable. I don't have any friends yet, and besides that's the jock table. Why, may I ask, aren't you sitting inside at the jock table?"

"I was walking by the doors and saw you out here. So I thought I would join you and get to know you a little better. I know what it's like to be new or an outcast."

"But you're a jock. How could you know what it's like to be an outcast?" Madison asked, and took a bite of her apple.

"Well, glee makes you an outcast. But I love glee. We're all good friends and we all enjoy the same stuff, singing, dancing and performing for people. Are you going to join?"

"Join glee? I don't know I can't really sing too well," Madison said, now looking at the ground.

"That's not what Sam said. He said you have a great voice. You should audition, even though you really don't have to try out for glee. Mr. Schuester lets everyone in."

"We'll see," Madison replied, contemplating the thought of joining glee in her head.

"What class do you have after lunch?" Finn questioned.

"Um, not sure. Let me check," Madison said, reaching for her binder. She pulled it out to look at the schedule. "I have Spanish next."

"That's awesome. So do I, and Sam and Quinn do too."

Before Madison could ask to follow along, she found a girl standing less than a foot away from her, with her hand in her face, waiting for her to shake it.

'Hi, I'm Rachel Berry, you must be new."

"Yeah, I'm Madison," she replied and shook Rachel's hand.

"Rachel this is Sam's cousin, from Boston," Finn said standing up. "She's going to follow us to Spanish class."

"That will be fun. Hey Finn we need to meet after school to work on our song, three o' clock sharp" Rachel rambled quickly, turning to Finn. "I'm going to my locker. I will see you in Spanish."

She turned on her heal and entered though one of the doors Madison had entered the courtyard through.

"Sorry about her," Finn said. "She's kind of a diva."

"Kind of," Madison said, standing up and gathering her stuff.

"Ok, well she's a huge diva," Finn said laughing. "She's my girlfriend."

"Oh," Madison said, looking up at Finn. "I'm sorry."

"No its fine. It's true. Sometimes she is such a diva it drives me nuts."

Madison walked with Finn as the bell ending lunch rang.

"Did you need to stop at your locker?" Finn questioned, as they walked down the hall.

"No," Madison said. "I brought all my stuff with me, since I don't think I remember where my locker is."

"Don't worry," Finn said, walking up to a locker, putting in the combination. "You'll know the school like the back of your hand by Friday."

Spanish class flew by, and Mr. Schuester was really nice. He asked Madison to introduce herself to the class and to feel free to ask any questions. After class Sam helped her to her locker, where she swapped out some of the books with ones she needed.

"I'm going to head to glee, you're more than welcome to tag along," Sam said, leaning up against the lockers.

"Thanks, but I think I am going to pass for now. I might just go to the library while you're in glee though, get a head start on my homework," Madison stated, shutting her locker and locking it.

"Ok, you're more than welcome to stop by. Meet me out by my car at about four," Sam said as he headed down the hallway.

Madison sighed as she headed in the other direction, towards the library. She found the library to be mostly empty, so she grabbed at table. She put her headphones in, and started with her least favorite subject first, history.
