Hey Guys, this is my first story ever, please let me know what you think as i have this good idea tangent that i wanted to take the story along. I'm a massive Gleek so i'm really going to try and tie my story in with the actual events of the show. Cheers hope you enjoy Chapter 1.
First Day
I layed there staring at the light blue ceiling in my room as my alarm clock continued to remind me that the sun had risen and it was time to get out of bed. I barely even slept last night, I was so nervous as my mind just kept going over every possiblity of how today was going to play out. A new year, a new home and now my first day of a new school.
"Sam, honey are you up?" my mum yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
I rolled over and mashed the top of my alarm with my palm to try and shut it up.
"Sammy if you don't get up now your going to be late for school" she called again.
I could hear the floor boards creak as she started climbing the stairs and then there was the knock at the door.
"Sam... Sammy..." the door handle turned and there she stood with that look that could convince me it was my decision to get out of this bed.
"Oh good morning mum, i must have slept through my alarm"
"Sam, you dont need to lie to me. I know that your nervous..."
I didn't know what to say, how is it that mums can always tell when you are lying .
"Honey, I know you don't yet feel comfortable in telling your father and I why you begged him to take this job and move away from Kentucky but please baby if you want to make a fresh start your going to need to get out of bed and get ready for school"
I paused for a moment knowing in my heart what i should have told her, what I should have told both of them way back then but my brain never let me. I didn't want to be that Sam anymore so I left him in kentucky with the haters, the bullies and the rejection.
"Your right mum" I said getting up with a fake forced smile on my face.
"I'll be down in a minute"
A quick 3 minute shower and a couple of mouth fulls of cheerios and I was in the car on my way to William McKinley high school. I was staring out the window in a daze that seemed to last for hours which according to my phone was more like 8 minutes, when I was pulled out of my trance when the car came to a holt and Stevie and Stacey (my kid brother and sister) started screaming and laughing.
"Sammy is this your new school"
"Wow it's huge Sammy"
"Sammy I'm going to miss you while your at school"
"Sammy your going to make lots of new friends"
I turned around to look at the pair of them and thought to myself how i envied their innocence and passion.
"Thanks guys, i'll miss you too and i'll be home to play with you guys staright after school"
I was just about to get out of the car when i felt my dad grab my shoulder and i instantly turned around.
"Sam" he said with a pause.
"Sam, I just wanted to tell you that no matter how this new school treats you, you will always have your brother, sister, your mother and myself love you for the kind sweet boy that you are and have always been" he paused again and for a second I thought he may have figured it all out. "That being said Sammy you've got nothing to worry about your an Evans, you'll be the most popular guy in the whole school within a few days".
"Thanks dad, I love you too" I managed as I jumped out of the car hoping that no-one who passed by would hear.
I closed the car door and started to head for the entrance across the car park. I was about half way when a group of large guys wearing red lettermen jackets rushed passed me carrying a weedy kid with an afro and glasses over their heads, I stood and watched them for a minute thinking it was some sort of team bonding session until they threw him into the dumpster. I spun round and then started rushing towards the entrance thinking to myself that this place was going to be no different from kentucky.
About ten minutes later I found my way to the principles office Mr figgans who seemed like a pretty decent guy, he introduced me to this massive girl (who must have been some kind of wrestler or something) who was made to show me round the halls as some kind of punishment I assumed. The tour was fairly quick and the last stop was 1 & 2 period - Algebra
I walked into the classroom and the teacher asked me to introduce myself to the class as i was a transfer student and new to the school. I walked to the front of the class and took a look around, they seemed normal enough i thought to myself.
"Umm hello" I said nervously thinking of something witty to say.
"My names Sam... Sam I am... and I don't like green eggs and ham". I paused for the laughter but unfortuntly it never came. I looked at the teacher and he jestured me just to take my seat. I sat towards the back of the class feeling like a complete idiot and repeated in my head tone it down, remember you don't want to be noticed.
Thankfully the remainder of class was uneventful and I luckily I could say the same for 3rd and 4th period, finally lunch rolled around and i decided to make a quick stop to the football locker rooms to sign up for practice (the best way to not be an outcast is too flock in with the hurd), I walked in and took a look around but no-one was there so i chucked my name on the sign up sheet and headed to the quad for lunch.
I found a table kind of off to the side and pulled out the brown bag lunch that my mum had packed for me. I sat there enjoying my sandwich not paying too much attention to my general surroundings when I got distracted by this tall guy carrying around a massive stereo followed by a few other kids wearing matching black shades and gold chains. He stopped a few tables away from mine and turned on the stereo, I recognised the song straight away; it was that new one from Alicia Keys and Jay-Z bout New York, but I was really surprised with what happened next... The kids started singing and dancing... only a couple at first but then more and more started joining in from all different spots, it was kind of like one of those flash mobs but with singing as well.
I couldn't help but stare at the tall guy, the group were really rocking that song but this kid was talented, his voice was amazing. I was sitting there just watching them when it happened, I didn't even notice that my body was trying too rock out with them as my foot was tapping like crazy but then he looked straight at me and he noticed I was getting into it and he smiled... and I fell hard.
I quickly collected my lunch and my bag and rushed away in the opposite direction from the choir with a million thoughts rushing through my head but there was this one very loud and distinct voice that I could easily make out "It's happening all over again."
