I joined glee club a few days after my first day at McKinley. I have always loved to sing, since I was a child. Somehow, I could feel I was born for it. The stage, the lights, the audience. I used to spend hours thinking about my future. Broadway. That was my life goal, something I had to do before I die. Perform on broadway, have the world at your feet.
Now I feel... Nothing.
There were just four people besides me. We didn't suck, but our teacher, Mr. Schue, said something was missing. And then he brought Finn Hudson, quarterback of the football team. Quinn Fabray's boyfriend.
He was not a amazing singer, but be was not bad either. I could tell he didn't want to join glee club, but for some reason he stayed at the club.
All was well, until Quinn Fabray joined glee club too. Apparently, she was jealous of Finn. I think she thought I would steal him or something. Back then, I had some feelings for Finn, what made Quinn's worries a little less absurd.
I didn't like to have her around. She still hated me, and slushied me. But I never felt the need to complain about it, until that day.
I was at the school bathroom when she walked through the door. This time, she wasn't with her cheerleader friends, Santana and the other one whose name I couldn't remember. She was alone.
When she saw me, her eyes changed. I couldn't tell what she thought when she saw me, but she gave me the usual sarcastic smile.
"Hi, hobbit. Won't you welcome me to your loser club?"
I looked at her.
"First of all, it's glee club. And second, what's your point here? Why did you join glee club?"
"You are so dumb" she rolled her eyes. "Finn Hudson is my boyfriend. My boyfriend. Do you think I don't know what happens inside that glee club?" She said 'glee club' like she was saying garbage, or vomit. "All those romantic songs you'll have to sing together, all the duets. I know Finn. He is naive enough to fall in love with anyone who sings Two Is Better Than One with him. And that person should be me."
"Quinn" I sighed, still trying to figure out what her eyes were showing. I was sure it was not anger. "I will not try to steal Finn away from you. I don't have feelings for him. You can be happy with your boyfriend, you can even sing Don't Go Breaking My Heart with him. I won't care because I don't have feelings for Finn, or for you..."
Or for you?
I stopped talking suddenly. Why would I even consider the possibility of having feelings for Quinn? That'd be just ridiculous. Quinn looked at me, confused.
"Fine. Do whatever you want." She said without looking me in the eyes. After saying that, she stormed out of the bathroom.
"Wait!" I screamed, but it was too late. She couldn't hear me.
There was something very wrong with that girl. I couldn't exactly tell what it was, but it was bothering me. She was miserable. I didn't like her at all, but, somehow, I still cared.
