"We're going to be jokes for the rest of our lives!" Puck exclaimed angrily.
"Can't you see it? We're already jokes!" Finn shouted to him. Finn continued with his pep talk about the dance we planned to do during the game. I was totally in for it. And now even more because of Tina. I knew she were in the audience and cheered at us. I saw her before, but she was next to Artie. They held hands. It stung me when I saw that.
"We're doing it!" Finn shouted and everyone nodded. Except for Azimio and Karoffsky of course, but they never agreed on anything Finn said. He made a gesture to the speaker guys, who made a thumbs up towards and started to play the intro to Single Ladies. We took our positions and started to dance. I felt free. I knew that my reputation would sink like a stone in the ocean after this, but it was worth it. I've never felt better. I loved to dance, it was my biggest passion. And I didn't want it to be a secret anymore!
When the song stopped playing I heard some scattered applause, but mostly laughing. I looked at Tina, she laughed with Artie and Mercedes, but she applauded. I looked at her for a long time, and I swear that her eyes met mine and for a few seconds she held them in the same position. I gave her a big smile, and then she turned away from me, towards Artie and laughed.
We actually won that game, Puck saved us last second. We cheered, and so did the audience. I found myself starring at Tina again, who cheered with Mercedes and Artie. I saw Finn walk away towards Quinn Fabray, the head cheerleader. They shared a passionate kiss, I couldn't help myself but thinking about Tina, and what her kisses felt like. I let my gaze fall on her again, she was on her way away from the field.
I was attacked on my back with made me let out a scream.
"Calm down bro", Matt laughed. He had his arms around my neck. I shrugged him off. "As I said before, you got some moves".
"Nah, I'm not better than anyone else".
"Uh, yeah!" Matt insisted.
"Good game fellas!" Puck came to us.
"You were the one who saved us!" I said.
He smiled proudly. Santana Lopez came into him seconds later and started kissing him passionately.
"Whoa, save it to the bed guys", Matt joked. Nor Santana or Puck listened, they just kept on making out. I actually thought they were through, but I guess since Puck won us that game she was glad to go back to him.
Days after the game I became to think at one thing that most people wouldn't even dare to think. I was thinking of joining the Glee club. I found it so much fun to just dance around on that field, even though I knew all the people in the audience was laughing at us. One other reason was pretty obvious.
Tina.
I knew she was in Glee club, that was why she was one of the underdogs. And I wanted to start the Glee club, even if I became a underdog.
"Dude, what the hell?" Matt asked me. I had just told him about my idea, and he didn't like it at all. "Join the Glee club; are you out of your mind?"
"I knew you thought it was funny to dance at the football game!"
"That was one time Mike! If we join the Glee club, we can say goodbye to the reputation we have been building up, and we're only sophomores!"
"What has that with this to do?"
"If we join the Glee club now, we will be bullied sophomore year, junior year and senior year!"
"So you're going to let fear guide you in the rest of your life?"
"I'm not afraid of joining Glee club, I just don't want to get a slushy in my freaking face every day!"
Suddenly Puck came towards us. "What's going on dudes?"
"Little miss Mike wants to join Glee club!" Matt said with a lot of confidence, he knew that Puck would go to his side.
But he was wrong.
"Yeah, why not?" Puck said and shrugged his shoulders. Matt was mouthing 'what'. "We're already popular, a silly Glee club won't bring our rep down so much. And I actually enjoyed dancing in front of everyone, and I since I was in the Acafellas, I've learned that I can play the guitar like Jimi Hendrix, and sing like a freaking god."
I smiled at him and gave him a high five.
"Whatever dudes", Matt said and sighed.
"So you're in?" I asked him.
"Sure, what do I have to lose?" I laughed and hugged him.
"We're gonna bring Glee club up!" Puck said and laughed.
"Mr. Shuester", I knocked on his door to his office. He looked up from her papers.
"Hey, come in guys!" He greeted us. Me, Puck and Matt stepped in. "What can I do for you?"
"We would like to join Glee club", I said. Mr. Shuester looked at us with a shocked face.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah", Matt said, with a lack of happiness in his voice.
"That's awesome guys!" Mr. Shuester shouted joyfully. "Glee club is on it's way up!" He said and pointed his fingers to the roof.
"Guys, I would like to introduce you the newest members of Glee club, Noah Puckerman, Matt Rutherford and Mike Chang!" Mr. Shuester said as we walked into the choir room. The people in the room cheered. I looked at Tina, she sat next to Artie and held his hand. She looked at me and smiled.
I've never felt more happy.
