CHAPTER TWO: OUT IN THE OPEN
The bell rang to signify that Glee was beginning. Rachel sat in her usual seat next to Finn in the front row while Quinn sat behind her with her arms crossed. Santana and Brittany walked in linking pinkies while Kurt and Blaine came in holding hands. Tina wheeled Artie in with Mike looking concerned. Sam walked in with Puck, who wasn't paying attention to Sam's impressions. Finally, Mercedes came in and sat next to Tina. Mr. Schue was dressed in his usual sweater vests and turned his back to the class and wrote the word "honesty" on the board. He turned around and smiled to the class.
"Who can tell me what this word means?" Mr. Schue asked.
Brittany raised her hand. Mr. Schue called on her.
"Isn't it that gay president that was super tall and wore a hat and like won the revolutionary war or something?" She asked.
"No, Brittany. That was Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. However, you were close. Abraham Lincoln was known as being honest. He was referred to as Honest Abe." Mr. Schue said.
"Is this history or glee club?" Santana snapped.
"Look, honesty is about being truthful, about opening up and saying what actually is even if it's not exactly the most desirable thing to do. I want to challenge all of you to be honest with your friends and most importantly, honest with yourselves this week. Perform a song about it. Honesty is one of the most important factors in relationships. Let's fine tune that skill!"
The glee club looked at him with a general bored expression on their faces.
"Mr. Schue, honesty is overrated and it's not even a good thing. I mean, it would destroy this club. For example, I could be honest with Rachel and say that her sweater is so ugly that I want to commit suicide just so I don't have to look at it. I could be honest and tell Kurt that he's so gay I wouldn't be surprised if he had a unicorn shaped vibrator in his ass right now and I could be honest and say to Sam that his lips are so big I wouldn't be surprised if he could fit the entire planet inside of it." Santana said.
"Santana!" Mr. Schue shouted.
"What? I just tell it how it is." Santana replied.
Kurt stood up.
"For your information, Santana, The vibrator is shaped like a stallion, a very masculine stallion."
Everyone's jaws dropped as Kurt walked out of the room.

Finn and Rachel were at their locker's putting their books into their backpacks.
"I'm just saying it wouldn't kill you to stand up for me once in a while." Rachel said.
"I stand up for you." Finn replied.
Rachel snorted.
"I heard you laughing at Santana's comments. While I thought her comments about Sam's lips were humorous, I am personally offended about my sweater. I like my animal sweaters. My dads knitted them for me, it's a very sentimental thing for me." Rachel said.
"What?" Finn asked.
Rachel slammed her locker shut.
"Did you even hear a word I said?" Rachel asked angrily.
"You were hurt by Santana's comments about your sweater because it was very sentimental to you since your father's knitted them."
Rachel turned around and saw Quinn smiling at her.
"Hi Quinn." Rachel said with a smile.
"Hello Rachel." Quinn replied.
"I'm sorry. Was I being too loud?" Rachel asked.
Quinn smiled and shook her head.
"No, not at all. I was just leaving but I want you to know that I was listening to you. Someone cares about you." Quinn said.
Rachel blushed and looked to her shoes.
"Thanks, Quinn. I appreciate that. I'll see you tomorrow in class."
"I'll look forward to it."
With that, Quinn left making sure to add an extra swagger to her step as she did so.
"I care about you a lot, Rachel." Finn said.
"Do you? Because I don't think you listen to a word I say, you don't stand up for me when Santana insults me and the only times you've texted me is to compliment me on my breasts."
"Those texts are classic." Finn replied.
Rachel shook her head and grabbed her backpack and started to walk away.
"Our assignment was to be honest. Well right now, honestly, I don't know how much longer this is going to work out."
With that, Rachel left a stunned Finn alone.

Puck returned home from school and threw his backpack on the floor. His mother was out with her girlfriends, Sarah was at a friend's so Puck had the house to himself. His first thought was to beat off. As he walked into his room, he stripped out of his clothes and sat on his bed. He pulled out his laptop, put on some porn and started touching himself. As he progressed, he noticed that he was very attracted to the woman being fucked but also to the man fucking her. He tried to focus only on the attraction of the woman in the scene but he soon found himself thinking about what it would feel like for that man to fuck him. He tried to block out that curiosity but he couldn't help it as it turned him on even more. Suddenly, he pulled out his cell phone and found a picture of Sam from his stripper days which Puck had taken as a joke. Instantly finding Sam attractive, Puck came harder than he had in a long time. After Puck came down from the high of his orgasm, he tried to fight back tears. He was definitely bi, there was no denying it and he found Sam incredibly attractive. Puck had always been curious about Sam's sexuality since he first saw him in Glee. His lips were huge, he would probably be an excellent cock sucker. He also thought he saw Sam checking out Finn but he wasn't too sure. Wanting to get some support, Puck called Blaine. Kurt picked up the phone.
"Puck? What's up?" Kurt asked.
"Is Blaine there? I want to talk to him." Puck asked.
"He's tied up at the moment." Kurt replied.
"Oh, he's busy?"
"No, he's actually tied up." Kurt said.
"Damn, Hummel. I didn't know you were into such kinky shit."
"I didn't know either but yet here I am with a tied up boyfriend who's ass I want to fill. Oh, sorry. I probably shouldn't be telling you all of this."
"Actually, I think it's kind of hot."
"Really?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah, that's what I wanted to talk to Blaine about."
"I'll put you on speaker."
Puck heard Kurt press the button on his phone. Kurt confirmed that he was on speaker.
"Blaine, are you there?" Puck asked.
Puck heard muffled noises on the phone.
"Sorry, Puck. I forgot about my underwear."
Puck heard Kurt's move over to free Blaine's speech capacity.
"Hey, Puck. What's up?"
"I wanted to talk to you."
"Should I go?" Kurt asked.
"No, it's fine, Kurt. You can stay. I trust you. Blaine, I just came to a picture of Sam and the whole time I was watching porn I just thought about getting fucked in the ass and it got me hot. I'm definitely bi, aren't I?" Puck asked.
"It's perfectly normal to be curious, it doesn't mean you're definitely bi but it definitely sounds like you're interested in hooking up with a guy."
"Do you think I want Sam?" Puck asked.
"He's a hot guy." Blaine replied.
Kurt cleared his throat.
"Not as hot as you, babe." Blaine said nervously.
"That's what I thought." Kurt replied.
"You might be attracted to him. There's nothing wrong with exploring that. I'm not entirely convinced that Sam's fully straight." Blaine said.
"I also agree with Blaine. No straight guy would ever die his hair like that. I still stand by it." Kurt added.
Puck looked up to the ceiling, hoping it would somehow give him an answer.
"I just hate this. I want to know am I into dudes and chicks, or just dudes? I mean, am I just gay like rainbow gay?"
"You don't have to label yourself. Just have fun. I mean right before you called, Kurt and I were playing teacher and student. I'm gonna be sore for the next couple of days."
"You're getting me hard. Shit. I shouldn't be turned on by this." Puck replied.
"Puck, take it from someone who's been through it. There's nothing wrong with being curious, and nothing wrong with exploring who you are. Mr. Schue told us to be honest with ourselves, so why don't you be honest with who you are? Talk to Sam. See if he's curious to try something out. There's nothing wrong with fooling around. Just wear a condom and use some lube." Kurt replied.
"Okay, I'll give it a go. I mean I don't have anything to loose right?"
"That's the spirit, Puck. Now I'll talk to you soon, right now my ass has an appointment with my boyfriend's cock." Blaine said.
"Damn. Have fun you two." Puck replied.
"Oh, we will." Kurt said seductively.
Puck hung up the phone and was left to thinking about how he would seduce Sam.

Artie and Tina had just finished playing Call of Duty and dancing and both were pretty pooped. They sat down on Artie's bed both laughing after a joke Artie had just told.
"I forgot how much fun this was. Just spending time with you. It's really nice." Tina said.
Artie smiled at her.
"I'm glad you're having fun. I love my Call of Duty, yo! And the kimono was pretty tight too."
Tina laughed.
"I also missed hearing your lovely white trash lingo."
"White trash? This shit is real, woman!"
Tina laughed again and then stood up.
"Do you want to do a song for Glee?"
Artie wheeled closer to her.
"Yeah, sure. You definitely need some singing time! You have such an amazing voice."
Tina blushed.
"Thanks, Artie. You do too!"
"So what song?"
Tina turned to face Artie and then bent over to look at him right in his eyes.
"Well, Mr. Schue told us to sing songs about honesty, and I honestly think that I have some feelings for you, some romantic ones." Tina said with a smile.
Artie smiled back at her.
"I feel the same way."
"Then I have an idea. It's kind of an old song but it's a total classic."
"Do you think I'll know it?"
"You should if you know what's good for you."
Artie chuckled. Tina found Artie's iHome and took out her iPod and played the song.
"I'll start and you follow."
Artie nodded as the music played. Tina smiled back at him and then twirled around with Artie's comb in her hands.
TINA
IF I COULD GRANT YOU ONE WISH
I'D WISH YOU COULD SEE THE WAY YOU KISS
OH, I LOVE WATCHING YOU BABY
WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY
OH, I LOVE THE WAY YOU
LOVE THE WAY YOU LOVE ME
THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE I'D RATHER BE
OOH, TO FEEL THE WAY I FEEL
WITH YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
I ONLY WISH THAT YOU COULD
SEE THE WAY YOU LOVE ME
(*Switches to choir room*)
ARTIE
YOU'RE THE MILLION REASONS WHY
THERE'S LOVE REFLECTING IN MY EYES
ARTIE, TINA
OH, I LOVE THE WAY YOU
LOVE THE WAY YOU LOVE ME
THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE I'D RATHER BE
OH, TO FEEL THE WAY I FEEL
WITH YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
I ONLY WISH THAT YOU COULD
SEE THE WAY YOU LOVE ME
OH THE WAY YOU LOVE ME
Everyone clapped for Artie and Tina as they gave a short bow and then returned to the seating area with everyone else. Will clapped his hands and returned to the center of the room.
"That's what I'm talking about. Excellent job Tina and Artie! Let's all strive to find that kind of honesty."
Santana raised her hand.
"Santana?" Will asked.
"I honestly think your sweater vests make you look like a lesbian grandmother."
Most of the choir room laughed.
"Santana, that's not the kind of honesty that I'm talking about."
"Oh are you just bitter because it was about you? Okay well I could talk about Berry's leggings and how they do nothing to hide her gross chicken legs."
Rachel crossed her legs, feeling insecure. She turned to look at Finn, who was laughing at Santana's joke. Shocked and outraged at her boyfriend, Rachel left the choir room.
"Santana, that's enough! I've had enough of your comments."
Santana simply buffed her nails in response. She knew her teacher would do nothing. Sure enough, the bell rang and everyone left the choir room before she could get in any trouble.
While Sam was packing away his things in his locker, Puck walked up to him.
"Hey, Sam. Do you have some time to spare?" Puck asked.
"What's up dude?" Sam asked.
"I wanted to tell you something but in the auditorium."
Sam shot him a puzzled look.
"Um, you can't tell me here?"
"I'd rather tell you in the auditorium."
Sam looked at him funny before eventually shrugging.
"As, President Bush would say, "Let's end the war on terror"."
Puck just looked at him with disgust.
"Sorry, I've been practicing my Bush impersonation for a contest next weekend. I'm fine with that. I don't have to be home until later."
Puck smiled.
"Good."

Quinn knocked on the door but not before she checked her appearance in her own personal mirror to make sure she looked good. She certainly did with her short white skirt and red top. Quinn knew no one could resist her. Rachel opened the door and gasped upon Quinn's appearance.
"You look so pretty, Quinn. Come on in." Rachel said.
"Thank you, Rachel."
Quinn couldn't help but smile as she knew Rachel's eyes never left her as she walked past her.
"Are your dad's here?" Quinn asked.
Rachel shook her head.
"Another gay cruise. They always tend to go on those and never take me. It's really irritating but I do enjoy having the house to myself so I can practice my singing."
Quinn sat down on a mahogany sofa and turned to face Rachel.
"Why don't you sing something for me right now?" Quinn asked.
Rachel stiffened up as Quinn opened up her legs and smirked at Rachel.
"Now? I don't have anything prepared or any sheet music for Brad."
Quinn stood up and walked over to Rachel.
"Well I have something I'd like to try out."
"Okay, Quinn."
Quinn walked closer to Rachel and then turned her back to her and grinded against her body.

"Dude. What are you trying to say?" Sam asked.
"What are you deaf? I want you. Let's fuck." Puck said with a growl.
Sam stood up out of his seat.
"Woah, I didn't know you swang that way."
"Don't judge me. Don't label it. Come on. No one's gonna know."
Sam looked at Puck and then away from him.
"I'm sorry I have to go."
Sam then quickly ran out of the auditorium leaving Puck stunned.

"Quinn." Rachel said.
Quinn awoke with a shock.
"What? What happened?"
"I was going to get my sheet music and you tripped and hit your head. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Rachel. Sorry."
"It's fine, Quinn. I'm just glad you're okay. You were moaning in your sleep and I couldn't wake you up."
Quinn couldn't help but blush.
"Sorry about that."
"It's okay. I was actually going to sing a song about my feelings right now. It's one of my favorites."
"What are you feeling right now?" Quinn asked.
She tried to look as though she was interested in what Rachel had to say and surprisingly, Quinn found that she was. Rachel looked at Quinn for a moment before taking a deep breath and answering her question.
"It's Finn. We've been dating now for almost a year and I just feel like we're falling apart. I'm really not happy with how he has treated me and I just-I really think that we should break up. I'm seriously considering it."
Quinn put a hand on Rachel's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Rachel. Maybe it's good though. I mean you're a star and sometimes stars have to shine on their own. I think Finn's holding you back from achieving some of the potential I know you can achieve."
"Really? You think so?"
Quinn nodded.
"Sing that song for me."
"Okay, well it's a song by Carrie Underwood. I think it's about questioning someone who's been really important to you in the past. I think it's perfect at explaining how I feel right now."
"Let's hear it." Quinn said.
Rachel smiled.
"Thanks for listening to me, Quinn. I know I talk too much sometimes but I really appreciate you supporting me. Finn would never do this."
"You're welcome, Rachel. Let's hear the song!" Quinn said with a smile.
Rachel smiled back at her and began.
RACHEL
WHO ARE YOU
THE ONE FOR WHOM
I'D REALLY GLADLY SUFFER
WHO ARE YOU
THE ONE I'D ALWAYS LOVE ABOVE ANOTHER
YOU'RE MY WORLD
YOU'RE MY HOME
YOU'RE ALL MY DREAMS

No one, not even Santana could deny that Rachel was superb in her performance. Everyone clapped for her, even Finn who didn't seem to understand that the song was about him. Rachel smiled and then sat back down at her seat. The bell rang to signify that the period was over.
Santana and Brittany were both by their lockers putting their books away for the day.
"We can hold hands if you'd like." Brittany said.
Santana looked around.
"I don't know, Brittany." Santana replied.
"I thought you said that you didn't want to hide anymore."
"I do, I just-I'm scared."
"I'm here for you, sweetie. I promise nobody will hurt you."
Santana took a deep breath and held Brittany's hand. The two closed their lockers and put their backpacks on and walked the hallway hand in hand. As Brittany and Santana walked, Karofsky walked down the hallway and shoved Santana away from Brittany and she fell on the ground.
"Dyke." Karofsky said as he walked away. Brittany ran to Santana and helped her up.
"Santana, are you okay?" Brittany asked.
Santana looked up at Brittany with tears in her eyes and Brittany hugged her tightly.

Puck walked into the locker room to change into his football uniform. Before, Puck would change his clothes and get on the field without a second thought but today was different. He couldn't help but check out the guys strip, finding some sexual pleasure in seeing their bodies. Puck glanced over to Sam when he removed his shirt but quickly looked away to avoid detection. As the guys got in the showers, Puck's insides felt like they were filled with butterflies as he saw the guys completely nude. He had to turn his body away to hide his visible arousal. At practice, Puck was completely distracted and he missed several passes, threw several interceptions and even dropped the ball once. Coach Beiste was furious and the rest of the team all made fun of him. Puck went home that day in tears.

When Tina and Artie walked home together to work on another song together, they were both surprised to see Mike.
"Mike, what are you doing here?" Tina asked.
"Just save it, Tina. I know what's going on here." Mike replied.
"What do you mean?" Tina asked.
"Don't play dumb. I know you guys are getting back together." Mike said.
"That's not true. We're just spending time with each other." Artie said.
Mike rolled his eyes.
"Look, whatever. I'm done. There are so many girls that want me, I'm not gonna waste my time with you." Mike said angrily.
"Mike!" Tina yelled out.
But Mike was already gone.
"I'm sorry." Artie said.
"Don't be. In my heart, I know I'm doing the right thing."
Artie smiled as Tina wheeled him in her house.

As the end of the week approached, all of the glee club members were all standing on the stage of the auditorium all dressed in white. Mr. Schue was sitting in the audience.
"This is one of my favorite songs." Puck said.
PUCK
