Last time on Friends, Foes, Lovers, and the Gray areas;

Glee club gets some new members, a group of four friends. Marissa is pining for a blonde jock and hiding a secret, Cameron is hiding his feelings, and Damian isn't feeling at all.


Lindsay Pearce: Junior. Lives in an upper class house with her father.

Lindsay was walking down the hall, looking for her Target. Which was hard, seeing as she was such a midget. But she looked for the tall, dopey looking boyfriend, and found them soon enough. Rachel had her locker open and Lindsay walked up to her, slamming it shut. She stared at Berry with narrowed, determined, fiery eyes. "Nice trick the other day in debate club. If I didn't know better I would have said you've gotten your health care views from a welfare mom or a 5 year old."

Berry returned the same look. "I look out for the people who don't have much, it's the least I could do. Something you are incapable of apparently."

Lindsay growled in frustration. "You don't get that to-" she stopped herself, closing her eyes and taking a breath. "You know what? Never mind. I won that debate yesterday, I don't have to argue with you further. I just wanted to stop by and let you know there is no shame in losing."

"You would know, seeing as you lose to me all the time."

"Are you two going to fight?" Finn asked.

"You pick your points like you pick your men; with little thought." the girls were going back and forth so quickly, Finn didn't catch the insult.

"What we have is true love at its finest and I'm sorry you will never find that with any of the apes you date." Rachel said in a very Rachel sympathetic way she had.

"An ape can unlock a door."

Something flared in Rachels eyes. "The dead bolt and the chain confused him he got it after a few seconds." she stepped closer, not at all intimidating the taller girl. "This doesn't change the fact while there are rare times you slightly succeed in academics, there is still the fact that I have, and I always will, shine brighter then you ever could in talent."

"Was she just insulting me?" Finn asked after a time of silence lapsed.

"You are going to be in for a shocking surprise, Rachel Berry." the two girls glared at each other for a moment and Lindsay should bumped her as she stomped away.

The two girls had been going at it since Jr high started. They competed against each other in anything, and while both girls claims to succeed more often then the other, the truth was it came out pretty even.

Lindsay still got upset; she was prettier, way prettier, and guys watched her walk by. Never Rachel in her frumpy outfits. And she had talent, damn it. Those were two things she knew she easily excelled in. But for all Rachel knew, Lindsay had no such talent. Lindsay did do work for the local theater groups, always getting the lead.

She needed to get under Rachels skin though. She could join the theater club maybe, show she had talent.

She froze as she passed by a bulletin board with tons of sign up and auditions. She sated at one in particular.

There was one way she could really get under Rachels skin.


Samuel Larsen: Junior. Lives in the same trailer park as Cameron with his dad and mom, and little brother. Close friend to Noah Puckerman.

Samuel was getting out of his car, flicking his cigarette butt to the ground. Puck got out on the other side. "Dude, you are driving like a maniac today." Samuel didn't respond and the two just walked into school together. Their lockers were right next to each other, which may or may not be because Puck scared the freshman into trading him a year before. While Samuel got his stuff, he looked up and saw the blonde cheerleader the occupied his mind since sophomore year.

Puck seemed to have seen him staring and sighed. "You'll thank me for this. "Yo, Q!"

The blonde was walking down the hall and was about to pass them when she stopped. "Yes?"

"Hey." he said grinning."

She raised an eyebrow. "Hey?"

He glanced at Samuel. "Say hi to my boy Samuel."

Samuel shot a look at Puck; he wasn't embarrassed, Samuel was one of the most confident people in the school. But he didn't need help.

Quinn suddenly had a seductive look on her face, her eyes raking his body not a moment longer then a second. She met his eyes. "Hello." her voice came out sultry.

He smirked back at her, just as seductively and breathed, "Hey."

She smiled a moment long and in that second something passed between them. It was an instant spark of chemistry, emotional and sexual. Samuel had no idea how to explain that he had just felt something he had never believed in. Quinn looked to Puck. "Is that all?"

"Uh, yeah." he said, looking back and forth between the two. Quinn glanced once at Samuel then walked away. "Dude, what the hell was that?"

Samuel smirked. "Chemistry."


It was the end of the day, and Lindsay was pacing by the choir room.

It's social suicide.

But I have so much cred who would care?

All that cred will be gone if you do this!

It wont be that bad.

Oh it will.

Just think of what it will do to Rachel!

Her inner argument ceased when she was an unfamiliar boy with dreads walk behind a corner and toward her. He had a great body, and a natural, sexy look to him, and there was an unhealthy amount of sex just in his eyes. "Are you joining Glee Club?" he asked.

She cleared her throat, trying to find a voice. "Uh.. yeah, are you?"

He smirked at something she hadn't said. "Yeah."

That was all the pushing she needed.


Cameron was bouncing his leg while staring at the piano, thinking. He was sitting by Damian, while Marissa sat by Hannah and Tina, and he could tell she kept glancing at Sam. Must have been a dream come true for her.

"We need to join a sport." Damian said suddenly.

Cameron turned his gaze to him. "Why?"

"We're in Glee Club. I mean, I don't care about the popularity all that much, but I don't want to get a slushy in my face everyday. I mean, just a little credibility would be nice. Before this we just got left alone, but I don't want to be an outcast."

Cameron chewed his lip thoughtfully. Damian had a point, he was never one to care about social suicide or whatever, but being an outcast was different then being not popular. "Like what sport?"

Damian seemed to think. "I don't know. The swim team, or football, or soccer..."

Suddenly Cameron laughed. "You called it football!"

Damian started laughing too, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "No! You know I mean American football."

"You hate American football." Cameron pointed out.

"Its popular here." he said, shrugging.

"Hola, class!" Mr. Schue said, walking in. There were murmurs of 'hello's' back. "I see all of the new Glee Clubers are here." he added with a smile. Suddenly, there was a knock coming from the door, and two people were standing in the doorway.

"We want to join too." Samuel said, glancing at someone in the room. It happened so fast Cameron didn't get a chance to see who. The brunette next to him shuffled her feet.

"You?" Rachel, as Cameron found out her name recently, asked in an accusing manner. She stood up and glared at the girl. "Mr. Schue, you can not allow her to join!"

"And why is that!" the other girl said hotly.

"Yeah Rachel. I don't see any problem with either of them joining." Mr. Schue said.

"I don't want her to be." Rachel said this as if it was a perfectly good reason. Cameron exchanged a look, both thinking 'is this how everyday will be?'. "And she probably can't even sing."

"I can sing better then you." the girl said. "I understand you have auditions, Samuel and myself would like to run something quick now, if you don't mind."

"The floor is yours." Shuester said, taking a few steps away from the group.

The girl stood in front of the group without fear. "I am Lindsay Pearce, and I will be singing Thinking of You."

Music started to play and Lindsay looked up with convincing eyes.

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed

Her eyes were full of sorrow, weather fake or real Cameron wasn't quiet sure. What he was sure of was that Lindsay had a voice. A spectacular one.

You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know

Her voice was filled with sincerity as she placed a hand over her heart, looking away and back toward the listening Glee students. Rachel had her jaw dropped, staring at Lindsay in what could only be described as pure horror. Cameron had no idea what was going on there, but he did here about what happened to the exchange student Sunshine last year. Lindsay inhaled a deep breath and belted out the next part.

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I've had the best
You said there's
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself

Cameron looked over to Damian, who had his mouth open slightly while he stared at Lindsay. Cameron did a double take because though he hadn't seen that look on the boy before, he knew what it meant. He hit his friend who was startled, and hissed, "What?"

"You look like you are about to ravish her!" Cameron stage whispered back. Damians eyes widened and he looked to the floor.

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay...
stay...

The song came to a close and Damian was the first one to start clapping. Everyone, except Rachel, started to clap enthusiastically. Lindsay smirked at her and sat down. "That was great Lindsay! Samuel?"

The boy with dreads stood up and took the floor. "I'm Samuel and I will sing Best of you.

I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

He had a raw, rock voice that Cameron felt jealous of.

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love you'd die to heal
The hope that starts the broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new
Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

He was staring at the blonde cheerleader, smirking. She seemed to be looking away, a coy smile on her face.

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Everyone clapped again and Mr. Schue walked toward the center of the room. "That was amazing. Now all of you kids did amazing yesterday, so welcome. Take a seat and we can get started.

"Now, for our first Glee assignment I want to do a tribute, but from three different bands. The Killers," Cameron cheered the loudest. "-Coldplay, and Maroon 5. First, we will have it set up as this; I have two hats, and you will rather draw a group, duet, or solo. After that, your group, your partner, or just you will pick from this hat, and will pick between Coldplay, Maroon 5, and The Killers.

"That is mine this time." Santana said. "Good thing Barbie and Ken broke up and left out any cute crap competition for me." Quinn threw her a sour look.

Mr. Schue started out by drawing the groups; Sam, Kurt, Artie, and Lindsay go Marron 5 as well as did Brittany, Puck, Mike, and Hannah. Next, duets. Rachel and Finn got Coldplay, Santana and Blaine got The Killers, and Samuel and Quinn got Marron 5. As for solos, Cameron got The Killers, Marissa got Maroon 5, Damian got Coldplay, and lastly Tina got The Killers.

Everyone broke off into groups, and the people who had solos joined together. Other then Tina, Cameron was with people he loved. "I call Mr. Brightside!" Cameron called to the room. Blaine swore.


That night, Samuel was invited to go to Quinn's house to practice. He was all too happy to agree to it. She let him in her large house and into her large room. He looked around at her decorations while she fiddled with her arms. "So, what was that look today?" he asked casually.

"What look?" Quinn asked innocently.

"You know." he said, examining a framed photo. "The lustful one this morning when I was with Puckerman."

She coughed. "What are you talking about? That was the first time we even talked."

Samuel turned to smirk at her. "Which I guess means you find me so irresistible you can't stop undressing me with your eyes?"

Quinn was taken aback by how forward someone she just met was. But a lot of people would be floored by how confident, blunt, and too the point Samuel was. That's just who he was as a person, he was definitely not shy. "Let's practice the song, shall we?"

Samuel shrugged. "Alright. You like If I Never see your Face again, correct?" she nodded and opened her laptop, bringing up the karaoke version of it.

"Now make it believable, I want to win." she said, finger hovering over the clicker.

He took a step toward her. "Well I guess that means I'm going to have to get closer to you."

She smiled her coy smile. "I guess so." she hit play.

Samuel started by taking a few steps away from her and she clicked the play button.

Now as the summer fades I let you slip away

He steps up closer to Quinn, with that seductive look in his eye.

You say I'm not your type but I can make you sway

Now they are nose to nose as he sings, and she can feel his breath. Quinn couldn't give in, not like that. But he move closer, never breaking eye contact as his lips sing an inch from hers. Suddenly he takes her hand.

It makes you burn to learn you're not the only one
I'd let you be if you put down your blazing gun

Quinn didn't get a chance to sing until she gave in to him. 'Its just kissing,' she tells herself. The boy she hardly knew kisses back tenderly, yet deeply. One hand is wrapped around her waist, pulling her close, and the other is cupping the back of her neck, holding her in place.

Truth was, when she saw him first a year ago, she wanted him. He seemed so taboo, and dangerous, different then Puck edgy. His dreads, smoky eyes, bone structure, body, his dark skin, all of it captured Quinn since day one and she looked at him from afar, knowing that she could never go for him, because honestly what would people say if they knew such a thing like that? Quinn didn't want to even think about it. But just for a little bit, she could give into her small desire, feed her lust for him just a little, not completely, but a little.

Her skin heated up, and excitement pooled low in her stomach. She snuck her arms around his torso, hands and fingers splayed against his broad back. Samuel kissed her in such a gentle yet dangerously passionate way, she feared that after this kiss she wouldn't be able to resist more kisses.

His lips left hers and he placed a kiss on her jaw. She craned her neck as he nipped at her neck, before coming to her senses. Well, a little anyway. "I- I'm sorry. I can't g-go too far. Samuel I cant-"

He kissed her full on the mouth. "I just want to kiss you." he said, leaning his head against hers. "I don't want to go farther. I know you don't know me, but you can give in to this, just one time."

With that, she fell back onto her bed and pulled him on top of her. That was all she wanted to hear and have; a warm body to kiss, just for the night. They didn't practice the project for the rest of the night.


A/N

To those of you who are giving this a chance, welcome back! Any opinions that any charcters express in any chapter are their opinions. Not mine. So if one talks about how stupid someone else is in their inner monologue, that is not me trying to get my subtle opinion out there. Next time, Marissa's secret is becoming harder to hide, Damian makes an interesting friend, and Samuel and Quinn don't have happily-ever-after after their kiss.
