I realized I totally forgot to put the disclaimer on this so here it is
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE PLOT OF THIS STORY AND SOME CHARACTERS!
When Beth got home she went straight upstairs into the attic looking around for evidence about who her father was and if it was Mr. Schuester. Nothing. Beth went back downstairs and sat on the coach thinking where her mother would keep something that held any evidence. Then it came to her.
Beth quickly made it up to her mom's room looking through her closet and her drawers. There was nothing Beth went to her last resort. She checked under the bed and found a large container she had never seen before. She pulled it out from underneath. She tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. She noticed a lock with a code she didn't know how to open it. There was obviously something her mother didn't want her to see.
"Beth I'm home," Shelby said shutting the door behind her. Beth quickly pushed the container underneath the bed and quickly got out of the room and made it to the top of the stairs and smiled her famous smile. "Hey mom I thought you were working late."
"I know I know, but I just couldn't miss your birthday honey Vocal Adrenaline can wait," Shelby smiled as Beth came downstairs and hugged her mom.
"So what's the plan for my birthday," Beth smiled as she released from the hug.
"Well how about you open your presents first," Shelby smiled holding up a few gift bags. Beth squealed with delight sitting on the couch. Shelby sat down beside her handing her one of the gift bags. Beth quickly flung pink and white tissue paper in the air. She lifted out a beautiful knee length sparkling pink strapless dress.
"Oh my god mom it's beautiful," Beth smiled with delight hugging her mother, "thank you thank you thank you."
Shelby laughed, "There's more," Beth opened a few more gifts which included a pair of heels that matched her dress a diamond encrusted headband and a few other accessories to match.
"Thank you mom I love it all thank you so much," Beth smiled.
"I think you love it more once you open your last gift." Beth looked at her mother confused as Shelby lifted a big rectangular box from behind her back and placing in Beth's lap. Beth quickly tore the pink and white checkered paper until she saw the picture on the box.
"Oh my god my own laptop," Beth squealed.
"You're welcome," smiled Shelby.
Beth hugged Shelby tight, "Thank you thank you thank you, you are the best mom ever."
Shelby laughed lightly. "So I'm guessing your birthday was good?"
"Yes mom best one yet," Beth smiled. Beth completely forgot about the big container she had found under her mom's bed and about the cheerio offer.
After Beth had set up her laptop, she quickly took a shower and changed into her new dress, did her makeup, added her accessories she had gotten, straighten her hair and put her headband in her hair, and put on her heels. She felt like a princess. She walked downstairs.
"Mom what do you think?" Beth smiled doing a twirl.
"You look amazing Beth it will be the perfect look for when we go to New York this year," Shelby smiled.
Beth smiled before heading back upstairs to change into her pajamas.
Beth sat on her bed her new laptop in front of her. She googled William McKinley Cheerios trying to get some more information. She scrolled through some of the pictures of former teams as Shelby walked upstairs and stood in Beth's doorway.
"Beth time to shut down."
"Okay, but before I do can I ask you something," Beth asked. Shelby looked concerned and walked in and sat at the end of Beth's bed.
"Of course you can sweetheart what's up?"
"Well you know how I went to William McKinley today to meet with that cheerleading coach," Beth said.
"Yes."
"Well she told me I was the best cheerleader that she has seen in a long time and she wants me on her squad."
Shelby thought about it. "Wow that's great honey and all but…"
"But you don't want me to change school," Beth finished her sentence.
"Beth it's not just that Coach Sylvester is not a good person she forces her cheerios o starve themselves and she makes them do dangerous stunts," Shelby defended herself.
"Mom you make Vocal Adrenaline kids do crazy dangerous stuff too," Beth knew her mother was hiding something and she had to get to the bottom of it.
"Beth, William McKinley is not the school for you and I will stand behind my decision." Beth sighed shutting down her laptop.
"I'm tired and I have school tomorrow night," Beth said as she pulled her covers over herself.
Shelby got up and sighed kissing Beth on the forehead before shutting off the light and closing the door behind her. It wasn't that Shelby had anything against William McKinley High School, it was that it would bring Beth one step towards finding out the truth.
The following morning Beth did her usual morning routine before heading downstairs placing her laptop in her bag.
"Beth we gotta get moving I have a faculty meeting this morning so we can't be late," Shelby said quickly finishing off her coffee.
"It's cool mom I already got a ride from one of the girls on the squad," Beth said as she took her daily vitamins.
"Oh okay so I will see you after school then," Shelby said quickly giving Beth a kiss on the cheek before heading off to work.
Beth waited about ten minutes before she headed to the bus stop and made her way to William McKinley High School. Beth entered the school looking around as she walked in the front office. She walked around the small office looking at the trophies and awards.
"Well well well if it isn't the princess," a familiar voice smirked.
Beth turned around facing the dark haired, brown eyed bad boy. Beth put her hands on her hip, "Excuse me I have a name."
"Sorry Princess you never gave me your name," he said plopping down onto one of the chairs like it was normal for him to be in the office.
"It's Beth," she said a bit snarky.
"Well Beth what brings you into the front of office of a school you don't go to," he smirked sitting back in the chair.
"How do you know I don't go here," she accused.
"Ummm well you are wearing a cheerleading uniform that isn't a cheerio uniform," he smirked.
"Dylan get in my office now," Principal Figgins said in a stern voice.
"See you later Princess," Dylan smirked once again before walking into Figgins office and winked at Beth.
Beth rolled her eyes as she walked over to the front desk lady. "Excuse me, but could you please tell me where…could you just please give this to Coach Sylvester, "Beth handed her a letter stating she would love to be a cheerio, but her mother would not allow her.
"Of course sweetheart," the front desk lady took the letter and put in Sue's mailbox.
"Thank you," Beth smiled as she left the office and headed off to catch the bus back home and get to school before her mom realized she skipped.
Right as Beth made it to the bus stop the bus had already left and she had to wait another twenty minutes before the next one came. She was going to be in so much trouble if she didn't get back before second period since she had a study first period.
She sighed sitting on the bench. "Having a rough day princess," Dylan smirked taking a seat beside her.
"Leave me alone I hardly know you and quite frankly I don't want to know," Beth stood up.
"Come on princess you know you want to get to know me" he smirked again.
Beth was fuming with anger."Stop calling me Princess my name is Beth and aren't you suppose to be in the principal's office."
"Nah, Figgins suspended me for the day for breaking into a teacher's desk and taking the answer key for an upcoming test I have in history and for selling it to other students," he said smoothly like it was normal. This brought in some interest to Beth.
"Wait you broke into a teacher's desk," Beth said facing him.
"Yeah," Dylan said," I just said that."
Beth smirked, "You think k you could help me with something that involved breaking into."
"Depends you wanna make-out?" he asked.
Beth rolled her eyes in disgust, "In your dream, my mom has this box and it's locked with some code and it might answers to who my father might be. Will you help me?"
Dylan thought it over for a minute. "Sure, but it's going to cost you," he smirked.
"I'll do anything."
"Anything," Dylan smirked rubbing his hands together.
Beth raised an eyebrow, "To an extent."
"Fine you got yourself a deal," he said putting his hand out to shake. Beth hesitantly shook his hand. She was pretty sure she had just made a deal with the devil, but if it led her to her father it was worth it. "So where is this huge secretive container?"
"At my house, but I don't have a car so the bus it is."
"I have a truck," Dylan said, "We could take that."
"Okay lets go so I can get to school so my mom doesn't freak. Dylan nodded as he walked to his truck with Beth following behind him.
Beth gave him the directions to her house and once they got there Beth quickly unlocked the door and grabbed Dylan by the arm leading him upstairs to the container. Beth pulled it out from underneath the bed.
"Do you think you can get in?"
"Princess I know what I'm doing," he said playing around with the code.
"Call me princess one more-,"
"Got it," Dylan smirked at her. At that moment Beth forgot about being pissed at Dylan.
"I finally get to know the truth," Beth was scared what if she found nothing or if her dad was died or something crazy like that.
"Beth?" You okay?" Dylan asked. Beth came back to reality.
"Yeah I'm fine," Beth slowly lifted the lid and looked down at bunch of pictures of two teenagers one a guy with a Mohawk and the other a girl with long blonde hair who looked pregnant. Then there were more pictures with the two teens with other teens. One of the teens looked like her mother it was so weird and when Beth looked back at the two original teens she looked closely. The guy had with a Mohawk had the same hazel eyes as Beth and the pregnant blonde had so much looks in common with her Beth looked at the picture confused.
"Why does your mom have pictures of former students from McKinley?" asked Dylan.
"How do you know they went to McKinley?" Dylan pointed to a man in one of the pictures.
"That's Mr. Schuester the glee coach and my Spanish teacher."
Beth looked again after looking at a few more pictures she found a manila envelope with her name written on it. She took a deep breath as she opened it and pulled out a letter that had a black velvet box attached to it. She opened up the letter and began reading.
Well I hoped you liked this chapter leaving you with a cliff hanger but I think it's pretty obvious what is in the letter. Till next please read and review =)
