Distractions sometimes cause dreams to happen
Chapter two: This could be harder work…
(Emma clutched hold of her bag as she looked up at the glass door she was directed to by a teacher when she had asked where the choir room was. She had settled in at her apartment she was renting and now today was her first day at McKinley High. She had coped well with the guidance counsellor side of things and now she was facing her other part of the job, the show choir director side. She knocked once and entered the room where she was faced with a tall Asian gentleman writing notes down)
"Mr Schuester?" Emma said softly. The Asian gentleman shook his head
"I assume you are Miss Pillsbury?" he replied. Emma nodded sharply and he sighed "Sue must have sent you to the wrong room. Who sent you to my office?"
"Erm a tall blonde female who didn't look too kindly to me" Emma replied and he nodded again
"Yes that`s Sue ok" he said and Emma noticed how thick his accent sounded "I`m Principal Figgins. But didn't anyone tell you to come to my office this morning?" he said kindly and Emma shook her head
"I was late and then during lunch I got brought down with paperwork" she replied guiltily looking down at the ground "Great one day and I`m probably gonna get fired" she thought to herself
"Well what about tomorrow come to my office and I'll get you signed in and all the paperwork done. And in the meantime just go to the choir room and introduce yourself. The choir room is just down the corridor and on your right hand side" Figgins replied
"Thank you" Emma replied nodding her head as she walked slowly out of the room and started walking down the corridor quickly until she reached the choir room. She sucked in a breath as she knocked on the choir room door and realised that it was empty as she walked in
"H-Hello" Emma replied as she looked around the room. She knew she had got the right room as there was a black piano in it. She walked up to the piano and started to slowly stroke it. However she then heard a shut of a door and turned around to see a tall male figure walk into the room
"Mr Schuester sorry I was late there was a bit of a mix up" Emma replied as she felt her legs turn to jelly. Shaw hadn't told her that he was so tall and well handsome; she was expecting some old guy. However he glanced at her with a side smirk
"Yes" he nodded "And you are Emma" he looked at her once up and down and then nodded "Well you look more stable than April was so you will do" Emma just glanced at him curiously as he nodded at one of the band members, who Emma hadn't noticed when she had entered the choir room, who started to bang the drums in a rhythm. As he did so children started to enter the choir room, a small petite black haired girl, a tall brown headed male who sat beside the girl, a tall blonde headed girl in a cheerleading uniform followed by two other girls in cheerleading uniforms,. Following them was a tall boy who looked he had a mohawk on his head and a boy who Emma noticed dressed very fashionably. Two Asian teenagers followed him arms linked and a boy wheeling himself in a wheelchair. To complete the group came a black skinned young girl and a boy with blonde hair who Emma thought looked younger than the rest. They sat down in the chairs Emma noticed when she had entered the room and stared at their leader as the drummer stopped drumming.
"This is Miss Pillsbury. She will be taking over from April but only until the end of term when hopefully I will be able to find someone more suitable" he did a sideways look to Emma and Emma noticed that the petite black headed girl was doing the same. "I have to go and speak to Coach Bieste about something so just tell her your names and I'll be back later" Will then headed out of the room and Emma was faced with twelve staring faces. She gulped as the petite black headed girl raised her hand
"Let me start. I`m Rachel Berry and I will be a big star. And I you don't give me solos my two gay dads will be after you" she crossed her arms as the tall male beside her gave Emma a dopey smile
"Just ignore Rachel her bark is worse than her bite. I`m Finn Hudson quarterback and captain of the football team" he replied as Emma nodded
"T-Thank you Finn" she replied as the Mohawk boy was next
"Hey hottie I`m Noah Puckerman but you can call me Puck. And I love the older ladies especially gingers" he was then interrupted by the darker haired of the two cheerleaders
"Puck you probably haven't even been with a red head" she snapped "I`m Santana Lopez and I come from the wrong end of Lima". Emma nodded towards the blonde next to her but she remained quiet
"My mom never told me to talk to strangers" she replied quietly
"That`s Brittany Pierce and I`m Quinn Fabray" the other blonde cheerleader replied as she shot a look towards Emma who gulped again
"I`m Kurt Hummel and I must say you are wearing a very fashionable outfit" he smirked towards Emma who gave a small smile. She then continued around where she spoke to Artie Abrams, Mercedes Jones who introduced herself as a bit of a diva, Tina Cohen Chang and Mike Chang who were boyfriend and girlfriend and finally Sam Evans who told Emma he had just moved to the neighbourhood. She had just finished her questioning when a tall woman entered the room followed by Will
"I just have a quick announcement" he scanned the group and Emma "I won`t be here for the next couple of weeks I have to leave to meet Miss Holiday again" There was a chorus of not again`s and Emma swore she could see Puck smirk.
"Miss Pillsbury and Coach Bieste will however be here to guide you and you all have my cellphone number in any emergency. But Brittany an emergency is not Lord Tubbington on the roof of your house" There was a faint ripple of laughter and then Will left the room followed by the group. Emma then walked up to the tall burly woman and gave a faint smile who the grinned back
"Shannon Bieste" she replied with a friendly smile "Will just told me to just come and check up on you."
"We were just introducing ourselves" Emma replied stacking up some chairs "They seem a mixed bunch don't they" she commented to Shannon
"Will has been through so much with them not to mention his own personal life" Shannon shook a look at Emma "Don`t get me wrong Will is great and everything and ever since I moved here he`s helped me so much but I think he needs a lady in his life"
"I heard something about his ex-wife and that`s the reason he`s in this kind of funk." Emma glanced at Shannon who shrugged
"Something about she did something really bad to him and he won't talk about it. That`s the reason he keeps advertising for a new co director to take some of the load off him but everytime he gets one something goes wrong. One fell pregnant, not by Will" she added after seeing the look on Emma`s face, another one just couldn't cope with the kids and then April just ran off after consuming a large amount of alcohol. But if you ask me I think Miss Holiday, Holly her first name is, could be the one for Will. She is a substitute teacher but I mean if her and Will were to be married she could fill in here" Shannon shrugged
"I know it isn't permanent only till the end of term and I`m not permanent but it would be nice for Mr Schuester to have his happy ending. My dream is to be a show choir director at my school in Virginia. And hopefully this will be the first step to doing that" Emma replied
"You can call him Will. All the rest of the staff members do that" Shannon remarked to Emma who just blushed
"I guess my first day it just feels a little informal" she replied brushing a hand through her red hair. Shannon nodded and gave a small smile leaving Emma alone. She was about to leave the room when she noticed Rachel standing outside the front hallway door talking to a taller male who looked as if he shouldn`t be there. He gave Rachel a kiss on the cheek and then sauntered off leaving Rachel standing there. She however turned around and after seeing Emma standing there looked guilty
"Miss Pillsbury I didn't know. Please don't tell Mr Schuester about this he will kill me. Jessie isn't supposed to be on school grounds after what he did last term but I couldn't stand to not to see him. Please" Rachel begged and Emma just gave her a small smile taking her by the hand and leading her to her office where Rachel explained everything her romance last term to when he egged her on campus causing Principal Figgins and Mr Schuester to file a lawsuit banning Jessie from McKinley grounds. However this hadn't stopped him from trying and had been begging Rachel to take him back which she had just done the week previously
"And I know this will harm our chances at Regionals but Jessie just has this charm about him" Rachel pleaded with Emma
"Rachel it might not harm your chances. And I'll promise to keep things quiet but if it disrupts New Directions or anything to do with Mr Schuester then I will have to tell him" Emma glanced at Rachel who nodded
"I promise it won't and I am sorry for being so rude to you today in class it was just because I don't know you very well and well with all of the co-directors that have come in I don't know who to trust or who will help me. But I think you could be one of those who could help me. I'll see you in class tomorrow" Rachel gave a smile as she dashed out of Emma`s office leaving the guidance counsellor and co-director to think about her day so far and to think about what might lie ahead. She picked up her bag as she left her office, her heels click clacking down the hallway as she walked down the corridor making sure that the light was switched off in the choir room as well.
And second part done, if you know the musical you also know I don't ship St Berry or Wolly they are just needed for the plot line of the story. Also at this part of the musical it is up to when they have just sung `My Favourite things` this is just my own spin on things. Anyway hope you all liked it and please don't forget to review, I know its Christmas but I do enjoy reviews. I'll try and update soon and happy new year to everyone.
