All the characters belong to Glee! Only the story is mine :)

A fresh year, a fresh start.

Not to mention a brand new office. Will Schuester couldn't help but grin as he let himself relax into the new brown leather chair that sat behind his newly polished desk in his newly furnished Principles office.

After the big mess with Terri, who he had left immediately, Will decided he needed a change of scene, which meant he had to leave McKinley High as soon as he possibly could. However, not long after he had handed in his resignation, he received the offer to take over as principle from the former principle himself. It wasn't exactly what he had planned, but nothing was ever perfect and being principle meant that he could now make the rules and maybe finally put a stop to Sue Sylvester and her crusade against the Glee kids.

There was a knock on the door as none other than Rachel waltz in, big grin on her face.

"Oh please, do come in." Will managed to smile, apparently nothing much had changed after all.

"No thank you, Mr. Schuester, this will only take a minute. I'd just like to say that I'm positively ecstatic to hear the news of you being the new principle of McKinley High, I'm sure you'll do a more than superb job. I do, however, worry about Glee club. As you know, it is my duty as captain of the Glee club to ensure that we have someone fit to become the new coordinator so that we.."

Will put up his hand to stop her, "Rachel, no need to worry. I've already sorted that out. I'll be able to stay on with Glee, we'll just have to change practice from Thursday to Tuesday instead."

"Sorry, Mr. Schuester, but that's not going to work with my busy schedule. I have a vigorous badminton game every Tuesday afternoon with my dads and they'd be very, very disappointed if I skipped those just because you.."

Will shook his head and laughed, things definitely hadn't changed. Not yet anyway.

"Rachel, stop right there. Is Monday okay then? You don't have to do Tuesdays if you're too busy."

She smiled wildly, said thank you then promptly strode out of his office, only to be replaced by the last person he wanted to see – Sue Sylvester.

He we was about to say hello, to straighten things out with her, but she beat him to it.

"Look, cupcake, if you think being Principle of McKinley High stops you from being a pansy with a bad perm, then think again. This changes nothing, I'm still going to run you and your pathetic little glee club into the ground. That being said, welcome back. I sure hope you've got some heavy artillery hidden underneath that sweater vest of yours, because you are going down, Schuester."

Will shook his head in a mix of disbelief and amusement, watching as Sue disappeared amongst the sea of students preparing for their new school year. He had so much to sort out, and he had no idea where to even begin!

"Gotta stop thinking bad thoughts. This a new year, time for a positive start." Will told himself. The day had just begun and everything was already getting a bit stressful. Time to get down to business.
