A/N: i'm back with the first chapter of 'The Second Year In' This chapter was kinda hard for me to write which was weird because I actually had it planned out but oh well.
This summer was interesting, to say the least. A lot of my time was spent with Jesse mostly because he was going to attend UCLA this fall. I wanted to spend time with him before he left since he wasn't gonna be home until Thanksgiving. When Jesse was busy, I spent my time with Jeff and Nick, we mostly went swimming at Jeff's house and then got ice cream. I didn't really hang out with anybody from school this summer, which didn't bother me, everybody has stuff to do.
Now it was the morning of the first day back, Coach Sylvester had all the Cheerios pick up their uniforms at registration about two weeks ago. I had showered last night, so all that I had left to do was put the uniform on and then pull my hair back into the signature ponytail. When my hair was perfect, I went downstairs to see Aunt Vanessa and Uncle Daniel waiting for me. She wanted first day of school pictures to send to my parents and to send to Jesse. First day of school pictures were always taken in front of the front door, it was a tradition. Once pictures were done, I was allowed to eat breakfast. After that, it was time for Aunt Vanessa and me to leave.
We made it to the school in no time, I said goodbye and that I loved her before I jumped out of the vehicle and went into the school. I had gotten my schedule and locker information at registration, I knew exactly where my locker was since it was in the same hallway as it was last year. Once I was at my locker, I deposited my bookbag and Cheerios bag into it and grabbed my 5-subject notebook and my pencil pouch. Then I went to my first-period class and dropped my things off. I texted Santana asking where she was. About a minute later I had gotten an answer, "At Q's locker" I then made my way to Quinn's locker. When I got there Jacob Ben Israel was there with his cameraman talking to Quinn.
"... And I'm a lot less hormonal so-so there's not really crying," Quinns tells him while grabbing the camera away from Santana. "How was your summer?" He asks Santana while staying at her new enhanced upper chest. "My eyes are up here, jewfro, and it was uneventful," She states. Brittany then turned to the camera, "People thought I went on vacation but actually I spent the summer lost in the sewers," Brittany explains. "Amelia, what did you did this?" He asked me. "I danced, and spent time with family," I tell him. After that, he went to go look for other glee kids, which was kinda creepy. I talked the girls for a while before I made my way back to my first period, I had a feeling this class will be boring, it is Intro To Business. I arrived in the classroom two minutes before the bell rang. Once the bell rang, the teacher introduced herself as Mrs. Johnson and everybody was told what to expect from this class. Every single class was like that, and it made the day boring.
Fourth-period rolled around and I was excited about it. It was gonna be nice to see the rest of the glee clubbers. The only thing I wasn't looking forward to was seeing the PDA between Finn and Rachel. Don't get me wrong I was somewhat fine with them being together but I do not want to see them be together if you get it. When I arrived at the choir room, I was the last one there, everybody else was there including Mr. Schue. I took a seat next to Santana and Kurt. Mr. Schue started talking once I sat down. "These are comments from Jacob Ben Israel's most recent glee club blog, 'glee is a giant ball of suck,'" He states and then gives an example. "We get it, Mr. Schue, everyone still hates us. So what? So we're plankton on the high school food chain. The only difference now is that none of us really care," Kurt explains. "Kurt's right. They can bring it all they want, none of it is gonna break us," Mercedes reasons. "I'm happy that you guys have bonded. The problem is that all of this negative stuff is keeping other students from auditioning," Mr. Schue tells us. "Good, why do we need new members?" Tina asked. She was right we have 12 members, that's all we need. "Well. since Matt transferred we may have 12 members but we have uneven numbers at, 7 girls and 5 boys. If we want to go to Nationals, if we want to beat Vocal Adrenaline, we have to go from a small rebel force to a giant wall of sound," Mr. Schue explains.
"Yeah, Mr. Schuester's right, you guys. You didn't see Vocal Adrenaline at Regionals. They were epic. We're gonna need more voices in order to beat them," Rachel states while getting up and standing by Mr. Schue. "Yeah, I'm with Rachel on this one," Finn announces as he gets up and joins her at her side. "Gross," Brittany mumbles. "You're gonna have to trust me on this guys. Now here's the plan. Nationals are in New York this year. And we are going! Now let's go out there and show the school how cool it's gonna be, how cool we can be. If they're not gonna come to us, let's go to them. They say we only sing show tunes and '80s pop, let's show them how down we are. Let's give them the song of the year, New Directions style," Mr. Schue explains.
Mr. Schue went to his office and started handing out the clothes we were gonna wear. Hey were black t-shirts that said New York City on them. Black baggy pants, and gold and black high top shoes, along with black hats. Once everybody was dressed, we went out to the commons, Mike had a boombox so the music could play. Kurt, Rachel, Mike, and Tina were the first ones to start harmonizing with the music. Mike was dancing around the courtyard. Artie was the first to do any actual singing, well rapping. Then it was Finn when he made his entrance. Mercedes and Puck entered through the stairs that lead out from the school. Puck was rapping this time. After his part was done and right before the chorus, Santana, Brittany, Quinn, and I entered from the concrete slabs that everybody usually sits now. When Mercedes starting singing, it was all the girls dancing with her on the concrete slabs. The boys were a few slabs under us. It was during the number that I realized that Rachel was completely matching with everybody else, she wasn't wearing the pants that everybody else was wearing, she was wearing her skirt.
Anyway, when the number was done, nobody in the commons was fazed, they seemed like nothing had happened. We left the commons and when everybody was changed back into the normal clothes fourth period was almost done, we pretty much just goofed around for the rest of it. The rest of my day was normal, there was no glee after school yet, not until later in the week. There was also no Cheerios practice, Cheerio tryouts weren't until tomorrow. So that meant that Uncle Daniel would be picking me up from school directly after school ended. When it got close to the end of the day, I heard from Mercedes that Rachel found a girl to audition, her name was Sunshine. She an exchange student this year and she was shorter than Rachel. Glee audition weren't until Wednesday after school, so hopefully, she will be there.
I left school after the last bell rang, I got in Uncle Daniel's car and we drove home. I had about two until I had to get ready for dance practice. When it was time, I quickly changed into dance gear and Aunt Vanessa drove me to the CCDC, the Carmel Central Dance Company. I arrived there before Jeff did so I talked to Ms. Addi and started stretching. Jeff barely arrived on time, he had about two minutes before he would have been considered late. "How was your first day Jeff?" I asked. "Pretty, good, there's a new boy in our grade, his name is Blaine, he came from Central Lima High School," Jeff states. "Cool," "Yeah, he wants to join the Warblers too," "Is he any good," "No, idea, haven't heard him sing yet, I kinda hope he doesn't join, it' already hard getting solos, adding another person to the mix will just make more boys give up hope of ever getting one. I auditioned three times last year and didn't one, and who knows if I'll get one this year," He explains. The Warblers were the show choir at Jeff's school, they were an all-boys acapella group. It was run by a council composed of seniors, they decided all song choice and who gets any solos. Last years seniors didn't like freshmen so Jeff never got any solos and Nick was just too scared to try. This year from what I knew the seniors were pretty cool so that gave me hope that Jeff might get a solo. He was a good singer, he just only sings with his family and the Warblers.
After dance was over, Aunt Vanessa was outside waiting for me. We went home and had dinner. Afterwards, I showered and relaxed in my room till I fell asleep.
A/N: Sorry if this chapter was kinda slow, like I said it was hard to write.
