1st off this is my first story and I have no BETA at the moment soooo apolgies for any grammar and such that is wrong.

2nd Though I wish I did, I don't own Glee, McKinley High, Sam Evans or any other Glee character other than Aria :D and the storyline

And finally, the lyrics are from I'm In Here by Sia

Aria Manson sighed gently as she pulled into McKinley High School parking lot. She had done this time after time, with her dad moving with his business deals. He was a boss for the car company, Lexus, so Aria had a car custom made and everything. And she got lots of money from him, but he was away a lot and it sucked that she was left alone in their huge house.

She shrugged away her lonely feelings, and shut off the car. Putting on her black ray-bans and touching up her make up in the mirror, she stepped out of her car and grabbed her book bag. Guys and girls alike stared as she smirked at the and walked past, heading for the main office. Today she had decided to go for chic and flirtatious clothes, pairing a black, lacey tank top with a pair of short daisy dukes that hit above mid thigh and a black belt around them. With it, she wore purple knee high boots, a silver rose ring, and a grey beanie over her black and red hair and had decided to switch out her diamond stud nose piercing for a black hoop.

As she walked through the halls of McKinley, guys were checking her out and doing double takes. A smirked played on her lips, but promised herself she wouldn't get involved with guys, they only caused drama.

"Hello," she said, politely to the secretary in front of her. The woman blinked at her and nodded.

"Hello, may I help you?" the woman replied. Aria nodded and took off her sunglasses.

"Yeah, um, I'm new here, and," she was cut off by the woman typing furiously on her computer.

"Ms. Manson?"

"That would be me," Aria smiled and nodded. The woman gathered a few papers and handed them to Aria.

"Schedule, map, handbook, lunch menu," the woman said, pointing to each paper as she named it. "if you need anything, come see me dear, you seem okay," the woman smiled and Aria returned it. She loved when adults were so kind to strangers.

"Thank you! And I definitely will," she smiled once more before looking at the map, trying to figure out where her locker is.

"You confused about something, sweetie?" a kind voice said from in front of her. She lowered the map to see a small, fragile looking boy with brown hair and blue eyes.

"Actually, uhh, yeah," she said, looking back at the map, confused. She looked back at the boy as he checked her out. "HEY! Stop stripping me with your eyes, you pig," she snarled, glaring at him.

"OH! I'm so sorry, I was admiring what you were wearing doll," he smiled at her, "I'm gay," he said laughing a little.

"Oh," she said, turning a bright shade of red, "I'm sorry, I just don't like guys much…" she said, trailing off, "not that I'm lesbian…not that I have anything wrong with gays or lesbians, I, what I mean is…" she sighed and looked down. "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it, I like the sass girlfriend," he held out a hand, "I'm Kurt Hummel." Aria took his hand and shook it.

"Aria Manson," she said, smiling lightly. "So do you think you could show me around? I'm kind of new if you didn't guess," he let out a chuckle.

"I noticed."

"So this is your locker," he said, pointing to it. She opened it to reveal her textbooks, she stuffed her bag open and started packing the books she needed in.

"Hey Rach! This is Aria, she's new," Kurt said to a brunette with brown eyes. She held out her hand, and Rachel shook it hard.

"Rachel Berry, I'm going to be on Broadway someday," Rachel said, 'as a matter of fact' like.

"Charming," Aria smiled awkwardly and looked back to her locker.

"You don't happen to sing do you?" Rachel said, staring intently at Aria. Aria looked at Kurt who had his eyebrows raised.

"Ummm, I used to sing at my old church when I was younger," Aria said, looking down, "my mum taught me to sing." Aria said, sighing and closing her eyes, picturing her mum in a… Aria shook her head, shaking away the memory. She couldn't let that bother her.

"Well, Glee Club is full so you can't join," Rachel said, walking away swiftly. Aria looked at the retreating brunette and shook her head.

"What the hell?" she said, letting out a laugh. Kurt joined in, laughing with her.

"Rachel doesn't like competion, which is why you should audition to be in Glee. You know we could use some talent that isn't Rachel," Kurt said rolling his eyes.

"Oh, I couldn't. I'm not very good, and singing reminds me of my mum," she said, chocking back a sob. Kurt looked down at her concerned.

"Are you okay?" Kurt said, hugging her. She nodded and looked down.

"I have to go to Spanish," she said, looking at him, "I'll think about Glee, okay?" Kurt nodded and watched her as she walked down the hallway, stopped and turned around. Kurt chuckled, "Second door on your left," he said, pointing in the direction of the Spanish room.

"Thank you!" she said, walking quietly down the hallway.

"Um, excuse me," Aria said, tapping the curly, brunet teacher. He turned around and smiled at her.

"You must be Aria," he said, taking her schedule from her hand gently.

"Si," she said, smiling.

"You know Spanish I see," he said, nodding at her. She nodded back.

"I spent a summer in Spain," she said, shifting her weight uncomfortably aware of everyone staring at her.

"That's cool, so I'm Mr. Schue and you can take a seat next to Noah," he said, pointing to a muscular boy with a Mohawk. Noah cleared his throat, and Mr. Schue repeated Noah. Aria nodded and walked to the boy in the back of the room. On her way, a boy with blackish brown hair and a blond boy checked her out and whispered something but she ignored them.

"Hello Noah, I'm Aria," she said, smiling warmly at him. He looked at her and smirked.

"Pleasure Aria, but it's Puck," he said, nodding his head towards her. Throughout Spanish class, Aria would feel Puck's hand on her thigh and she instantly regretted wearing short shorts. She pushed away his hand and sighed as the bell rang. Finally!

Walking out of the class, she walked out the door only to be pulled into a closet. She screamed and swung her fist around. Someone attempted to grope her boobs and she yelled again. Suddenly the door was open, revealing Kurt, Puck and the blond and brunet who were checking her out before. They pulled the stranger away from her and the blond hugged her.

"Baby, are you okay? Did he hurt you?" the blond ranted, taking her face in his hands and inspecting her closely. His eyes were a grassy green and he had big kissable lips which were formed into a small frown of concern. He then pulled her close again, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"What are you doing? Who are you?" she whispered in his ear, snuggling into his chest.

"The name is Sam, and just go with it, trust me," he whispered back with a husky voice.

She looked around him to see Kurt watching the two guys holding down the stranger who had a red afro and glasses. He also had a very large bulge forming in his pants.

She looked back to Kurt and gave him the 'Do I trust him?' look. Kurt smiled and nodded so Aria snuggled back into Sam's chest. He pulled back and held her hand.

"Israel! What the hell were you doing with my girlfriend?" Sam yelled at him, charging but Aria pulled him back and hugged him.

"Baby, calm down," she said softly, touching his cheek. He stopped and looked down at her, his anger melting away from his face.

"YOUR girlfriend? She's new, and has been here a day! How are you two already dating?" The boy said in a high pitched, squeaky voice.

"She is my neighbor," Sam lied, "and we've been friends for a years because she lived in the same town as me before I moved. I saw her this morning and asked her out," Sam stated. He's good.

"But she walked out of Spanish alone," 'Israel' stated, pointing at me.

"Sam had to talk to Mr. Schue for a second," I chirped in, "I told him I would wait for him at my locker," I finished, looking up at Sam. He glanced at me and grinned.

"You are so cute when you finish my sentences," he cooed, gently running his hand down her cheek. She ran her hand down his face, lingering on his lips and biting her lip gently.

"You're cuter," she giggled and grinned.

"No you are," Sam winked back, pecking her cheek lightly. Puck cleared his throat, and the two looked up.

"Right," Sam said, nodding, "Touch my girlfriend again, and your ass is going to be beat up," he said, threateningly. The boy probably peed his pants and scurried off.

"Come on baby, we're going to be late for Glee," Sam said gently, grabbing her and walking down a hallway. When they realized it was just them, Aria sighed.

"Thank you," she said, pealing her hand from his and wiping the sweat from it. He smiled down at her.

"No problem," he said, looking at her. "He's a creep anyways, um if you see him again, let me know, I'll be your fake boyfriend to keep him away." Aria blushed.

"I appreciate it," she said, walking away from him.

"Wait, where are you going?" he said, running after her. She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Calculus?" Aria said, confused. Sam shook his head.

"No, you're coming with me to Glee Club," he said, smirking and grabbing for her hand.

"Did Kurt put you up to this?" Sam grinned.

"Maybe," he sang, his grin growing bigger. She turned around quickly sprinting down the hallway but she wasn't quick enough. He grabbed her around the waist, throwing her over his shoulder and walking down the hallway.

"SAM! PUT ME DOWN!" she screamed, laughing as she was level with his butt. She pounded on his back but he didn't even flinch. He walked into a room with about 10 other people, including Mr. Schue who looked at the pair, confused.

"Sam, why are you holding Aria on your shoulder?" Mr. Schue asked curiously.

"HE'S KIDNAPPING ME!" Aria said, pounding on Sam's back again. Sam let go of her and she stared to slid off and screamed, and he grabbed her legs again so she didn't fall.

"She needed help getting to the choir room?" Sam said, trying to convince Mr. Schue.

"Sam," Mr. Schue said, "put her down."

"But if I do, she'll run away," Sam said, sadly.

"No I won't," Aria said, sighing in defeat. She looked at Mr. Schue and sighed again as she closed her eyes. "Mr. Schue, I'd like to audition for Glee Club."

"NO!" Rachel screamed from her seat. Aria looked at her then the rest of the kids. She hadn't noticed before but they were all unique.

There was Rachel, Puck, Kurt, the brunet who had checked her out, two blondes and a brunette in a cheerleading outfit, two Asians sitting together, a African american girl and a girl on the larger side with glasses sitting next to a boy in a wheel chair.

"Rachel, we've talked about this," Mr. Schue said, "everyone gets a chance."

"BUT," Rachel started.

"NO," Mr. Schue said. He turned to look at Aria, "we'd love to have you, but could you sing something?" she nodded and tapped Sam's back, and he put her down and walked to a empty seat with the rest of the kids.

Aria walked to the piano and sat down. She grabbed her necklace and kissed it, whispering, "this one's for you mum." She placed her delicate, longer fingers on the keys and started to play.

I'm in here, can anybody see me?

Can anybody help?I'm in here, a prisoner of history,

Can anybody help?Can't you hear my call?

Are you coming to get me now?

You to come rescue me.

I am fearing it all,

Stuck inside these walls,

Tell me there is hope for me

Is anybody out there listening?Can't you hear my call?Are you coming to get me now?

All of the sadness I cannot

Live with inside of me.I'm in here, can anybody see me?

Can anybody help?

Aria finished the last few notes and wiped away a few stray tears as everything grew silent for a moment and then everyone was clapping and cheering. She stood up and bowed. Even Rachel clapped.

"THAT WAS GREAT!" Mr. Schue said, clapping enthusiastically. "Welcome to Glee Club!'

(A Month Later, from Aria's P.O.V.)

Things had been going great, other than a few slushy facials I got from the football meatheads but Sam was always there to threaten them for me. Puck had become a good friend and brother to me, along with Finn. Rachel eventually came around to liking me and we often had sleepovers with us, Mercedes, Tina and Lauren. Kurt became my stylist and The Cheerios didn't pay me attention, which I didn't mind.

I walked into school, greeting my friends as I headed to my locker to meet Sam, but he wasn't there. I looked around and saw Puck.

"PUCK!" I screamed and motioned for him to come over to me. He walked over and hugged me.

"What's up, baby doll?" he smiled and I smiled at my nickname.

"Have you seen Sam? He was supposed to meet me here," I said, looking around for that blond, beautiful hair. Puck shook his head, and sighed as he saw someone down the hallway. "what?" I said, looking down the hallway to see a those green eyes boring into the eyes of Quinn Fabray.

"Oh," I said, trailing off and sighing.

"Are you okay?" Puck asked me gently. I nodded and turned back to my locker. "Baby doll, they're coming this way." I looked up in time to see sure enough that they were walking towards me with a stupid grin on their faces.

He knew I didn't like her with all the names he had called me. Why didn't he tell me? I'm his best friend. I sighed and shook my head.

"Hey Baby doll!" Sam said to me, Quinn cleared her throat, "I mean, Aria."

"Sam, can I talk to you alone?" I asked, quietly and Sam nodded, turning and kissing Quinn full on. Puck had to clear his throat to get their attention. She smirked and walked away and he patted her butt as she walked. He grinned as she giggled.

"What the hell Sam! You said you didn't like her! All those names she's called me?" I harshly whispered at him.

"Who I date is not your concern, Aria," he said, looking annoyed.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Have you not been her for the last month? Member being my boyfriend to protect me from Israel?" I said, looking down.

"Find a new fake boyfriend, Manson. You're are too ugly to have a real one anyways," he said, turning and walking away as I looked down, tears starting to form.
