"Sir, if you let me do this I promise I will never ask you for anything else. Ever," Riley Rodgers promised with what she hoped was an adorable smile, but the woman had always found that she looked more sheepish than adorable when trying to get what she wanted.
Principal Ryerson sighed deeply, rubbing his temples. He looked over the files the Riley has plopped onto his desk, flipping through the papers once more. He sighed again.
Riley bit her lip, rocking back and forth on her heels. The young teacher rung her hands together, watching Principal Ryerson carefully. She could never read the older black man, even after spending almost three years at Westbank Secondary under his order. She brushed her curly hair from her face, holding her breath as she wait for him to answer.
"Listen Rodgers," the Principal began.
"Principal Ryerson, a glee club will make this school a significantly better place for its students. It has been proven that the arts help children, especially teens, deal with many things in their lives," she said all in one breath. "Glee can help self esteem and confidence issues, it is a way for the kids to safely express themselves, and-"
"Fine."
Riley faltered. "Pardon me?" she questioned.
"I said fine, Miss Rodgers, you may have your glee club," the man informed. "You will have access to the choir room after school three times a week, and the auditorium is yours when it is not otherwise occupied. You will be souly responsible for this cub."
Riley nodded rapidly, brown eyes sparkling. "Oh, thank you so much sir," she gushed.
Principal Ryerson help up his hand, a signal for her to stop talking. "Do you understand what this means, Miss Rogers? Anything that happens with this glee club, whether good or bad, will have your name all over it," he warned. "Are you prepared for that?"
"Of course," she repeated, leaning quickly over the desk to give the principal a tight hug. "You won't regret this," she promised, turning and skipping out the door.
The man at the desk sighed. "I hope not."
A/N: Hello and welcome. I haven't done one of these in a while, and honestly I have recently had a serious case of writer's block, which I hope this will be cured by doing this story. I promise to try my best to stick with this a keep up with the updates. This story will be mainly character-centric, but will of course follow the club as well, though I will be waiting until I receive characters to work out any major plot points. This is of course so short because it is only an introduction chapter. So, go, create, submit!
Rules:
1. I will only accept submissions by PM and if they are with the form I have provided you. Sorry if that is inconvenient for anybody. Please title the PM "SYOC: Character's Name"
2. I will be accepting about 10-15 characters. Two of the characters in this story will be mine, but I will give all the characters I choose equal attention.
3. This is NOT first come first serve. I will pick the characters that I think will fit best with this story. You may submit up to three characters.
4. I do not appreciate flames. Please do not be angry at me if I do not accept your character or if the story is not going the way you wanted it to. With that said, if you feel that I am not writing you character to justice or the way you wanted, please feel free to message me.
5. I reserve the right to accept or decline characters as I wish. To ensure a better chance of your character being accepted, make them as interesting and detailed as possible. No Mary-Sues or Gary-Sues. I want characters of different races, sexualities, genders, and backgrounds. Really be detailed. Full sentences, paragraphs, the more the better.
6. This will be written in 3rd person, but every character will have parts written in their point of view, it will just be 3rd person. I will try to update as frequently as I can. No promises.
7. Feel free to PM me with any questions, and have fun!
