Here's what you missed on Glee.
Melissa Widman's the new girl in school who doesn't like pale pink walls or carpeting.
She meets Kurt Hummel who is really feminine like her old best friend Monica but at the same time she loves him like a brother.
Also, she has never heard of Lady Gaga before so she's obviously a deprived child.
And that's what you missed on Glee.
Chapter Two
I had manuevered my way around school decently well and had only gotten lost going to the girl's locker rooms. I was the only person not dressed out for P.E., a fact that bothered me. In Sanger, so many people chose not to dress out that really you stood out if you did wear your P.E. clothes.
I found the cafeteria when it came time for lunch. Finding Kurt was another problem. The cafeteria was filled with tables, all of them filled. It was difficult to see around people.
Right as I was about to give up on my snipe hunt, Kurt walked in. "How was school?" he asked.
"Bad, because it's still going on," I answered once I recovered from my mini heart attack of having him walk up announced like that. "So, uh, where am I supposed to be going?"
"Come on," Kurt said.
Like I had a choice.
I followed him to a table where there were only two other people, two girls. One was light skinned and brunette, the other was dark skinned and a bit on the heavy side.
"Hi, Rachel, hi, Mercedes," Kurt greeted when we walked up.
"What took so dang long?" the black one asked, moving over so Kurt had room to sit down. "I ain't got time to wait for y'all like this every day."
"Teacher held us after class," Kurt said. "This is Melissa, by the way," he added, gesturing to me. I took one of the empty chairs at the table.
"Hi," I said quietly, looking at the table.
Rachel and Mercedes greeted me and the three proceeded to eat lunch. I wasn't hungry, so I could only watch and pretend to know what they talked about.
Several minutes passed before Kurt said, "Where are Tina and Artie?"
"Fighting again," the white girl said, who Kurt told me was named Rachel, rolling her eyes. "I seriously don't know why they're still clinging to each other." She shook her head, looking down.
"Who?" I asked. I felt so out of the loop being from California.
"Tina and Artie," the other girl, Mercedes, said. "They're in glee and they're not-so-secretly a secret couple, but they fight all the time." Mercedes turned to Kurt. "I really only think she's dating him because she thinks he's 'cute'."
"Why does everyone care about looks?" Kurt asked.
"Well, I don't know," Mercedes said, "maybe you should ask yourself that, Mr. Finn Hudson."
Rachel, who had been taking a drink of milk at that moment, spit it out. I barely dodged it, not wanting to ask what they were discussing. Kurt and Mercedes got into a heated discussion, so I took it as an oppurtunity to speak to Rachel.
"So if Tina and Artie fight all the time," I started, "why are they still together?"
She rolled her eys. "I think it's because of their looks if you ask me. Artie thinks Tina's stutter is absolutely adorable, and Tina loves the fact that Artie plays guitar. I think that's about it."
"Not to mention Tina's got a thing for sweater vests," Kurt added from his conversation with Mercedes.
Rachel, who just so happened to be wearing a green sweater vest herself, sat up a little straighter. She flipped her hair out of her face and continued, "Anyway, I don't think they'll last much longer unless something catastrophic happens in the next few days." She picked at her salad, shaking her head. "I really hope they do break up, Artie's been so upset for days now. He's not doing so well in glee club. He's just kind of..." She trailed off, shaking her head again.
I looked down. I had no idea who Artie or Tina were, but I had to agree with Rachel. Maybe breaking up with this Tina person would help him.
"Oh, Melissa," Kurt said excitedly, "were you going to join glee club?"
All three rounded on me. "Oh, uh...well, I have Mr. Schuester next period," I said, remembering my schedule. "I could ask him about it then."
Rachel seemed happy about this, Mercedes said, "You better," and Kurt nodded. Too soon for my taste, the bell rang, and I was off in the mess of students again.
I eventually found my way to Mr. Schuester's classroom. I was one of the first to arrive. I went up to him and cleared my throat.
"May I help you?" he asked.
"I'm new..." I started, nervous still about talking to teachers.
"Oh, are you Melissa Widman?" he asked, looking at his rollsheet. I nodded. "I didn't recognize that name before..." He quickly scanned the seating chart. "Just take the desk in the front row on the very left of the room."
I walked over to said desk and sat down. I quizzically looked to my right. There was a desk next to me, but no chair like the rest of the tables. I didn't think much of it and attempted to do the warm-up on the board, but it was in Spanish, so I had no idea how to begin. Sighing, I grabbed the book from under my desk. The bell had rang already before I realized someone else sitting next to me. I avoided eye contact with them. The period went on for what felt like hours, probably because I couldn't understand the language being spoken.
Finally, the bell rang and students filed out. I went up to Mr. Schuester and asked if he'd sign my schedule so I could take it to the office-it was 'proof' that I had actually shown up that period. He quickly signed it and gave it back to me.
"Um, I've heard you're the glee club teacher," I said.
"That is correct," he replied.
"Um...I was wondering if maybe I could join glee club?" I paused.
"Sing a few notes for me," was the response.
Embarrassed, I quietly sang some of the words of Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel. Mr. Schuester was quiet-he had to be in order to hear me properly. Finally, he said, "We meet after school." I thanked him and left for dance quickly.
The period rushed by in a whirl. As the bell rang, I walked towards glee club, calling Mom.
"Hello?"
"Um, hi, Mom, it's Missy."
"Hi, Missy, what's up?" My mother was like a teenager.
"Um, I just wanted to let you know I was going to be staying after school," I said quickly.
"How did you get detention on the first day?" she asked.
I tried to laugh but instead filled her in on the details of glee club. Finally, when I hung up, I was outside the classroom. As I opened the door, I was met with two people shouting. I saw the back of a girl looming above a boy in a wheelchair. They were the two fighting.
"I'm not making fun of you!" the boy in the wheelchair said.
"Yes, you are," the girl said, her hands now on her hips, "you're laughing at my s-s-stutter!"
"I think it's cute!" the boy said. Obviously, this was Artie and Tina.
"Well, how would you react if I made fun of your wheelchair?" Tina spat. Ouch, I thought.
"Hey!" Artie said, now angry.
"You love that thing more than you love me!" Tina said, not showing any signs of relenting.
"I live in it!" Artie pointed out.
Tina obviously did not find this to be a viable answer and flung her bag over her shoulder, stalking out and shoving me out of her way. I didn't see the need to blame her. Obviously, she was just as upset by this as Artie was.
Artie looked crushed. I don't know what it was, but I felt the need to try to help. I walked over, saying, "Are you okay?"
He was a little frightened by my sudden appearance, which showed by the way he avoided looking at me, and said, "Fine."
"Really?" I asked. I felt it was my human duty to help him. "Because you look like you're about to cry." It was my turn to look away. He looked at me in a way I didn't understand.
"I am," he said quietly.
"What happened?" I asked, hoping we didn't look as stupid as I felt. No, that was wrong. I didn't feel stupid-just embarrassed.
"We're fighting." He looked at me over the top of his glasses like I was some kind of imbecile. "Again."
A collective groan from the rest of the group-even Mr. Schuester took time to roll his eyes.
"That's, like, the third time in...how many days?" a blonde girl in a cheerleading uniform asked.
"Today," another cheerleader answered.
I took a seat next to Kurt then as Mr. Schuester started the meeting. Why was it that I was feeliing emotionally attached to Artie for some reason? Was it that his problems with Tina spoke to me? I turned this over the entire club meeting.
It was not a happy thought.
I just wanted to update so you wouldn't think I've died over the next few days. I'm going to Hawaii on vacation so I needed to update telling you all why there was no update. That's why this chapter is meh filled. Because I wrote it quickly to get it over and done with. Also, I'm sorry the 'that's what you missed' was so short and boring. It really did suck. Anyway. I hope you like. Please review.
