At 4:55 I wandered into the choir room and took a seat behind Berry. We were waiting to see if any new members where going to join us. I wasn't all that bored, but I acted it. I couldn't let Mr Schue see how excited I was to see him after this morning. A girl always has to play hard to get in these situations. If Celibacy club taught me anything, (other than how to fall pregnant at the age of 16) it's that 'It's all about the teasing and not about the pleasing.' even if you were craving a man in your life.
At 4:58 Santana, Britney, Puck, Mercedes, Finn and Mr Schue were positioned over at the piano, while Kurt, Berry, Artie, Tina, Mike and I were sitting down. We were all glued to the clock, as it ticked over.
"Well, I hate to break it to you but it doesn't look like anybody's going to be joining us. So I think we should just call it a day." Rachel said. Britney and Santana immediately agreed.
"We said three to five, its only 4:58." Mr Schue piped in.
"Just wait. My buddy Sam's going to try out. He totally idolizes me." Finn had mentioned Sam to me today, but I guess he didn't want to be in our group now that Finn's off the football team. Kurt started to say something, but I was already following Puck out the door.
"Alright girls! I want five laps, with ten push ups between each one. Britney; stay here. Everybody else, Go!" I wasn't taking anything from any of these girls today. It was a morning practice and I wanted them to feel the pain for the rest of the day. I heard they were talking about me yesterday and when I fell pregnant, not one of them stood up for me when Coach Sue kicked me off. Now, they pay. Especially Santana.
"What's up, Q?" Britney looked worried.
"Coach wanted to see you in her office. You can go there now."
"Bye Quinn." Britney was trying to be cold. She's obviously been told to by Santana.
"Linda cute a corner, so all you bitches start at zero and now you're doing ten laps with 20 push ups in between. You won't talk about me behind my bag again? Will you girls?"
They didn't reply. So I asked again.
"Will you talk about me behind my back ever again?"
"NO QUINN!" They all shouted back.
"I've got some things to sort out over there. Because someone on this team got Plastic Surgery, now that particular person has to be on the bottom. If I see any talking, slacking off or cutting corners you will all go back to zero and the numbers will double again. Do you understand?"
"YES QUINN."
I walked towards the bleachers and grabbed my clipboard. I have to redesign the pyramid and several other routines because of Santana's stupid boob job.
The rest of the day was tiring. Rachel kept at me all day, making sure I knew to be at the auditorium by 4pm sharp.
"Hi, I'm Sunshine Corazon, and I'll be singing 'Listen' from the movie Dream Girls." She had a cute, petite talking voice, but I wasn't sure how she'd sound singing. She must be good though, because rumour has it Berry sent her to a crack house yesterday.
"It was a Broadway show first." God, Rachel talks too much. Everyone told her to shut up and Sunshine began to sing. She was really good, and judging by the looks and encouragement my team mates were giving I'm sure they agreed too. Even I couldn't help but to smile. We were all clapping and Mr Schue got up to speak.
"Wow! Um," He chuckled, "Ah welcome to the Glee Club!" We all cheered some more and after a few congratulations and hugs, everyone left the auditorium, and it was just Mr Schue and I.
"We found our 12th member. Good job Mr Schue!" He turned around to face me.
"Quinn, listen. Yesterday was-"
"Amazing." I cut in. "I've been thinking about it a little bit. And you. Us, actually."
"And ah, what were you thinking?" He walked closer to me.
"I enjoyed being that close to you. It was comfortable and felt natural. I didn't feel pressured or awkward." Mr Schue walked behind me and put his arms around my waist and I giggled. We didn't talk, we just stood there.
"This can only be a side thing," I said, breaking the silence. "I will still have to date Jocks and stuff, to keep the Persona up. But, if we are doing this, I'll be happy with it; if you are. You can't deny our chemistry. Its phenomenal."
"Are you sure you want to Quinn? I know we've got chemistry, but if you don't want to take it further, that's fine."
"No, I want to Mr Schue."
"Please, call me Will. We can't do this if you call me Mr Schue. It's weird." He laughed, making me laugh. "Can I put my number in your phone?"
"Sure." I grab my phone out from my bag at our feet and hand it to him. He puts his number in and I send him a smiley face so he has my number.
"Alright, I've got to go. Bye Will." I say as I head up the stairs and out the door.
