The New Girl in Town
NOTE: this is not based on the FULL episode which we know and love, written by Ryan Murphy. I understand episode three is actually called 'Acafellas' - use your imagination. (:
Set: season 1, I'm planning around episode 3, like I said, these aren't the events that actually happened, I realise there was a lot going on…josh groban being stalked etc. I also realise that Puck hadn't actually joined the Glee club at this point, but he fitted perfectly with my story, so I went with it. Sorry if this confuses anyone.
Summary : Everyone thinks it's a normal day at school when word of a new girl spreads. Nobody actually knows her name, or who she is/was, all they know is that her dad's in the army and she's lived all over the world. REMINDER - Quinn doesn't know she's pregnant yet.
Pairings: Fin & Quinn, Rachel's "secretly" in love with Finn, Pucks still a man-whore, Tina & Artie are getting close.
Note: I've never published anything on this before, so I apologize if it's crap, any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated J
GLEE - season 1, episode 3
*The school bell rings*
Cheerleaders Brittany and Santana are madly pushing past people in the corridors of school, not to get to class however, but to talk to there fellow Glee club members who are standing at Rachel's locker. She's giving them one of her famous lectures on how they need to smile more.
"I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that we have a name now, we are the new directions, and you guys not smiling is sending us in the wrong direction and personally I-" Santana interrupts Rachel
"Shut up loser, we have news."
"And what might that be?" says Kurt who's eyes suddenly light up when he hears that there's gossip
"There's a new kid." Santana tells them
"She's from Europe" Brittany adds
"Oh, where about in Europe?" Artie asks
Brittany stares blankly at him before saying, "Um…In…Europe"
"Yes, but what country in Europe?"
"I thought Europe was a country?"
Everyone just stares at her, wondering if she was really that stupid
"Okay, she's from England. Well, no, technically she's from Scotland, but she moved to England when she was 12, then she moved to Australia, then she moved to Japan and then about 2000 other places, now she's moved here to Ohio. So that means her accent is like, really weird. Her dad's in the army, so she has to move a lot, but apparently her dad's making her stay here in Ohio to graduate." Santana explains
"And apparently she speaks six different languages" Santana states
"I didn't even know that there were six languages" Brittany asks looking in her constant state of confusion.
On that note, the group disperse to class, Rachel is excited at the idea of a new student, she's low on friends, maybe this new kid could be her, follower? She wonders.
*Lunchtime*The cafeteria is alive with students. Their all sitting with their chosen clicks. The jocks and the cheerleaders. The arty kids, the band geeks, the loners, the style icons, the rich kids, the bottom of the food chain, the top of the food chain, the people who are just in the middle and the glee club. Rachel Berry collects her lunch and instantly spots the new girl sitting on her own at a table in the middle of the room. A giant grin spreads across her face, and a plan accumulates in her mind.
"Konnichiha!" Rachel Berry says to the new girl, using huge facial expressions, waving her hand, and smiling like a tool
"Excuse me?" the girl replies
"Don't you speak Japanese?" Rachel asked, looking confused, and embarrassed.
"Um…no, I don't" "Oh." Rachel says looking at the floor
"Who are you by the way?"
"Well, I'm Rachel Berry. Chairm-" Rachel is interrupted again, when the new girl puts her hand in front of Rachel's face.
"I don't care, I just wanted to know your name so I can ask you to go away. Go Away Rachel Berry." She gives Rachel a sarcastic smile then continues to eat her lunch. Of course, Rachel doesn't like this.
"Excuse me, but that is extremely rude, I'm only asking your name, I've not done anything horrible to you, so there's no need in you being horrible to me. And anyway, you're the one sitting eating lunch on your own." Rachel says proudly, thinking she'd won.
"That's where you're wrong." At that exact moment Quinn, Santana and Brittany sit down next to her. They all flash a smile at Rachel.
"I see." says Rachel feeling defeated and suddenly scared. "Well it was nice meeting you…um, what's your name again?"
"You'll find out soon enough Rachel Berry. Have a nice day." She says sarcastically, smiling and waving at Rachel.
As Rachel walks away the four girls burst into laughter.
*Rachel sits back down at the table with the rest of her Glee club*
"Well she isn't very nice." Rachel says
"Oh yea, we meant to tell you that…must of slipped my mind" sarcastically says Mercedes
'What is with all the sarcasm today?' Rachel thinks to herself.
*The glee club all gather in the rehearsal room, Mr Schue begins to speak when the new girl slowly, and cautiously walks in smiling sweetly. Brittney starts waving franticly, which causes the mysterious new girl to laugh
"Can I help you?" Mr Schuester asks whilst smiling politely
"Um, is this the Glee club?" she asks
"It sure is"
"I can sing."
"Can you now?"
"And dance. And I can act but let's face it, we're not performing Les Mis are we?"
"Sorry, what's your name?" Mr Schue asks. Suddenly, the Glee club (besides Quinn, Santana and Brittany) stare and lean forward to listen intently. No one knows who this girl really is.
"I'm Rose. Rose Harrow" She says smiling sweetly againSuddenly the Glee club all lean back in their chairs with looks of accomplishment on their faces.
"Well Rose Harrow, it's very lovely to meet you. I'm Mr Schuester. If you'd like you audition I'd be happy to see you after school or-" Rachel cuts in raising her hand.
"Mr Schue, I personally don't think it's very professional for Rose here to get a private audition. We are a glee club. We perform in front of audiences and even if we're just singing harmonies and swaying in the background *she glances at Tina* we have to initially be comfortable on stage, singing in front of big crowds." "When the hell do we get big crowds?" asks hunky football player Puck to his fellow team mate and best friend Finn
"Rachel that's not very fai-" Rose suddenly cuts in
"I'd be happy to perform in front of you, if that's what you're asking for Rachel?" she says smiling.
"Well, if you don't mind?" Mr Schue asks, glaring disapprovingly at Rachel"Of course I don't. Like Rachel said, you have to be able to dazzle people""I didn't actually say tha-" Rachel tries to say before being interrupted yet again by Rose"Is right now okay?" "Of course, take it away Rose Harrow!" Mr Schue says, gently tapping her on the back and going to sit with the rest of the Glee club.
Sudden speculation of what Rose is going to sing erupts within the group.
The boys; Artie, Finn, Puck, Mike and Kurt all start a conversation over her song choice.
"What d'you think it'll be?" asks Finn
"Well, she's whiter than white, so she'll probably surprise us all and start belting out some Aretha, or some Beyonce or something" says Puck
"Na, she's too white for that. She looks like she has one of those voices that you don't hear anywhere else. She'll probably do some Adele, or Whinehouse." Artie states
"Can we all just shut up and let her sing please?" Yells Mr Schue.
"When you're ready Rose" he continues.
Rose opens her mouth and starts to sing 'And I am telling you' from the musical Dream Girls. A typical Soul song, perfect for showing off your belting talents. "Oh no she didn't" Says Mercedes looking shocked. That was her song.
The Glee club watch in total awe of Rose. Puck has a smug look on his face that says 'I love being right' and 'I have to tap that'
As the song finishes the club rush to their feet with a thunderous applause. They walk towards Rose, hugging her and telling her she's amazing. Rachel however, remains sitting on the chairs with a complete look of fear on her face. She officially had competition, and she knew it. Rachel thinks to herself, 'She can sing. And if she's right about saying she can dance and act, that makes her a triple threat, and better than my biggest threat here who is Mercedes who of course, can only sing. I'm the only triple threat allowed in this club'
"So?" Rose says smiling at Mr Schue
"Welcome to Glee club!" he shouts high-fiving her.
The club continue to circle Rose and praise her. Rachel continues to plan a way to get rid of her competition.
Out of everyone who is surrounding her, Puck has his eyes locked right on Rose's. She notices him staring and occasionally glances up at him in-between saying "thank you" and "aw you're too sweet" to her new Glee fans. The bell then rings and the room empties. Rose slowly wanders over to the piano where she dumped her bag, jacket, books etc. Puck cautiously follows.
"I know you've already heard this from everyone else, but you were seriously amazing." Puck says standing behind her with his hands in his pockets, smiling.
"Thanks" she replies with a flirtatious look in her eyes.
"I'm Noah Puckerman. Most people call me Puck" he says extending his hand.
"I'm not like most people Noah Puckerman" she says taking it and continuing to smile in a flirtatious manner.
Puck let's out a small laugh. "What do you say to us going on a date sometime?"
"I don't know, what do you say?" She cheekily replies
"Well, you're going to be interesting aren't you Rose Harrow"
"I already am Noah Puckerman" she says smiling at him before turning and walking out the room. Puck looks down at the piano shaking his head when he notices a piece of paper with a number left on it. Under the number is a note which reads;
'I'm trouble Noah Puckerman'
After reading this Puck grins wildly and walks out with the note in hand, thinking about what he's about to enter into with the new kid. One thing he knew for sure, It wasn't going to be boring.
