Chapter 3: Siren's serenade
Finn stared at the blonde girl who had just named herself as Rachel's cousin. He then shifted his focus to Rachel and noticed how she had paled quite badly and was still gawking at the girl in her line of sight.
"Cousin…? Rach you didn't tell me you had a cousin?" Finn questioned hoping to bring Rachel out of her stupor.
"Course she has a cousin! I'm her. Well technically I'm one of her cousins, the other being TJ my big brother." The blonde, whose name Finn couldn't quite recall, replied. He was about to ask for her name again when Rachel finally spoke.
"Jasmine… what… what are you doing here? I thought your mum had moved you and TJ to LA after, well after that thing…" Rachel said, fading off at the end, as if she didn't want to be heard.
"Hmm…? Oh that! Yeah well Dad brought us back here for some time and I transferred to McKinley but didn't know you went here." Jasmine replied, her smile still plastered to her face, honestly she reminded Finn of a Barbie doll with perfect teeth and everything.
"Well I wouldn't expect you to seeing as we haven't seen or talked to each other in 10 yrs!" Rachel retorted still looking pale but the colour was slowly returning to her cheeks.
"Yeah, well that's the past cuz and this is the present and in this present you have a very cute guy standing next to you gawking and I think I deserve an introduction." Jasmine said as she locked her blue eyes on Finn.
"Oh, umm well I'm Finn! Rachel's boyfriend" Finn answered, smiling as he said the word 'boyfriend'.
"Aww how cute little Razz-berry has a boyfriend, and a cute one at that!" Jasmine stated now shifting her gentle and warm gaze to Rachel, but if Finn wasn't so bashful about being called 'cute' he would have seen a dark gaze pass over Jasmine's eyes as she looked back to Rachel.
Finn then recovered from his fluster to notice the name Jasmine had called Rachel.
"What did you call her?" Finn asked
"What..? Razz-berry? That was Rachel's nickname when we were kids. She loved jazz music back then so we just blended the two and got 'Razz' and well her last name is 'Berry' so she became Razz-berry!" Jasmine stated giggling slightly as she recalled the first time they had used Rachel's nickname.
"Yeah, well as I remember we used to call you 'Jazz-berry' for the same reason." Rachel replied also smiling at the fond memory.
Rachel then thought and said, "Hold on, what are you doing here anyway?"
Just then the bell rang and Finn and Rachel headed to their first class together, with Jasmine saying to her cousin that she would soon find out the reason for her transfer.
As Finn and Rachel got into class – English Lit – they saw their fellow glee clubbers Sam, Kurt, Mercedes and Quinn. They were heading to join the group just as they heard Quinn talk about some new students at the school.
"I heard that after Britt, Santana and I quit, Coach Sylvester was having a hard time finding suitable replacements so she called in some out of town girls." Quinn stated rolling her eyes as she said 'out of town girls'.
"Wonder who they are? Hope they ain't some power crazed mini Sue's." Mercedes stated, in her usual dramatic way.
"Yeah, for all we know these girls could be worse than Quinn and Santana ever were!" Kurt replied to his best friends comment, "No offence!" he added upon seeing Quinn's menacing glare.
"None taken…" Quinn said, her eyes still giving Kurt the 'you're so dead' look.
"Hey guys!" said Finn as he took his seat next to Kurt, "What ya talking about?"
Kurt looked over to his step-brother and stated, "Duh, the newest gossip about the new girls at the school."
"New girls..? How do you know they're girls?" Finn stated oblivious to the looks he was getting. Then it dawned on him they were all talking about the cheerios and they're pretty much all girls."Sorry…" Finn stated upon his epiphany.
Then he had another – 2 in one day a new record.
"Hey Rach do you think that maybe, that's the reason your cousin is here?" The whole group turned their focus on Rachel as Kurt, Mercedes and Quinn all said,
"You have a cousin?"
Rachel merely nodded and stated, "I honestly don't know Finn but there is a chance that Jasmine is a cheerleader."
The whole group then launched into a series of questions about this newly discovered member of Rachel's family and Finn was happy to fill them in.
"What does she look like?" Kurt asked.
"Dude, she was gorgeous," Kurt rolled his eyes at his step brother who quickly turned to Rachel and apologised, "sorry Rach, but yeah she was pretty. Blue eyes, blonde hair and about Rachel's height. She reminded me of that Brady Bunch chick – you know the oldest one…"
"Marsha?" Quinn cut in. Finn nodded and the group's interests peaked.
"Can she sing?" the question came from Mercedes.
"I don't know, she didn't say… Can she Rach?" Finn turned to his girlfriend.
Rachel simply shook her head but before she could say anymore an announcement came over the PA.
Naturally it was the school's principal Mr. Figgins – a small Indian man with a very strong accent.
"Could all students please make their way to the auditorium for a beginning of school assembly!"
Rachel and the group then packed up their things questioning what this assembly was about. They all agreed it was probably nothing special just a welcome back and greeting to new students. Little did they know that it would also answer all their questions.
The glee kids along with the rest of the school, wound up in the April Rose Auditorium and they found a set of seats together.
Once everyone settled down the school's slightly misplaced principal walked up to a microphone set up centre-stage.
"Thank you all for coming to the auditorium. This year McKinley high will play host to 7 new exchange students. These students are set to join the Cheerios, with one adding to our football team, and aim to learn a bit from our award winning athletes. They come from a performing arts school known as Poseidon's School of Performing Arts. They wish to introduce themselves so without further ado I would like to introduce the Sirens!" Figgins gestured to the closed curtain behind him as it slowly raised and he proceeded to walk off stage only to be replaced with one sole figure.
The figure looked up and walked forward revealing himself, to be a male. He was about 6 feet tall with a slim but slightly muscular figure and had a chocolate brown complexion. He wore a simple leather jacket and blue top with stone-washed skinny jeans. He walked up to the centre- front of the stage with a microphone in hand, opened his mouth and said,
"Hey y'all, my name's Ethan and I'm going to be accompanying some gorgeous girls today. We come from Poseidon's and just wanted to introduce ourselves to McKinley. So let's get started…" The young man – Ethan – then proceeded to wave his hand as music surrounded the auditorium.
Some students immediately began bopping to the beat recognising the song pretty much immediately.
The lights dimmed and the boy started singing:
"So many girls in here, where do I begin?
I seen this one, I'm 'bout to go in
Then she said, I'm here with my friends
She got me thinking, that's when I said
Where dem girls at, girls at? Where dem girls at, girls at?
Where dem girls at, girls at? So go get them, we can all be friends"
The boy then danced around the stage before hitting the next verse.
"Hey, bring it on baby, all your friends
You're the sh** and I love that body
You wanna ball, let's mix it, I swear you're good, I won't tell nobody
You got a BFF, I wanna see that girl, it's all women invited
Hair do's and nails, that Louis, Chanel all up in the body
President's in my wallet, no rules I'm about it
Blow the whistle for the hotties
I got it, shawty, it's never too much, can't be doing too much
10 to one of me, I can handle that love
Outta of my reach, we can all get buzz
Holla 'cause I'm free, to whatever it's no rush"
Then the lights got even darker as a blue spotlight hit a figure in the audience. The figure a Latino looking girl, stood up with a microphone in hand. She wore a baby blue tank top and blue-grey jeans with blue gladiator sandals. The spotlight followed her as she walked from her spot to the stage and sang:
"So many boys in here where do I begin?
I see this one, I'm about to go in,
Than he said I'm here with my friends
He got to thinking, then that's when he said…"
At this point the boy joined her, harmonising brilliantly.
"Where them girls at, girls at?
Where them girls at, girls at?
Where them girls at, girls at?
So go get them, we can all be friends"
Then once again the lights dimmed and a strong white light shone from behind the audience silhouetting a tall (5' 9") Asian girl standing up on the small wall that separated the front rows from the back. She wore a red hoodie and tight black denim shorts with red stiletto heels on. She walked along the divider singing her line:
"Peebe, peebe, who's Peabo Bryson?
Two years ago I renewed my license
Anyway, why'd I start my verse like that?
You can suck on a dick, or you can suck on a ball sack"
Once her line had ended many of the students began to chuckle lightly. At this point another girl – a tall blonde wearing a white top and chocker as well as white jeans and strangely enough white 'go-go' boots– began to sing. She got up from her position and started:
"No no, I don't endorse that
Pause that, abort that
Just the other day mi go London, saw that
Kissing down the street, paparazzi, all that"
She walked past a group of footballers just as another girl got up from her seat. She was mocha brown with dark brown hair and wore a dark green loose top, and black jeans. She then started her part beginning exactly where the blonde had finished:
"Hey hey what can I say?
Day day day da-day day
Coming through the club, all the girls in the back of me
This ain't football, why the heck they try'na tackle me?"
The girl pushed her way through a line of students just as another voice began. This one came from next to Rachel and the girl stood up wearing a pink top and dark blue denim shorts. Upon standing up Rachel realised that it was her cousin Jasmine. Jasmine winked at Rachel but continued towards the stage whilst singing her part:
"Really?
I pick dude at the bar like really?
Looking like he wanna good time like really?
Said he had a friend for my home girl Lilly Lilly, Lilly, Lilly"
Just like the others the next voice immediately began where Jasmine had finished:
This time the voice came from centre stage it was Ethan surrounded by each of the girls that had just sung.
Ethan started the chorus again:
"So many girls in here where do I begin?
I see this one, I'm about to go in
Then she said I'm here with my friends
She got me thinkin', then that's when I said
Where them girls at, girls at?
Where them girls at, girls at?
Where them girls at, girls at?
So go get them, we can all be friends"
Then all of the girls sang harmoniously and thrashed their bodies around – like they were dancing at a club.
"Day day day da-day day
Day day day da-day day
Day day day da-day day
Day day day da-day day"
Then one final figure showed itself. This time it was a girl with alabaster skin and black hair. She wore a plain black T-shirt and grey jeans and then she sang her part:
"Where my girls at uhh, hmm, uhh
Where my girls at uhh, hmm, uhh
Yo, where my girls at uhh, hmm, uhh
Yo, where my girls try'na get to jumpin'"
Ethan began the next part with the final chorus:
"So many girls in here, where do I begin?
I seen this one, I'm about to go in
Then she said, I'm here with my friends
She got me thinking and that's when I said"
Finally the rest of the 'Sirens' chimed in for the last section and the whole group sang together:
"Where them girls at, girls at?
Where them girls at, girls at?
Where them girls at, girls at?
So go get them, we can all be friends"
The music then died down and by then pretty much the whole school had gotten up and was dancing to the song. Upon finishing the auditorium erupted in applause and wolf whistles. Well almost all the auditorium – one group of kids sat gawking: the New Directions kids.
Upon finishing their performance the 'Sirens' introduced themselves:
The Latino girl introduced herself as "Abby"
The Asian girl named herself "Melody"
The tall blonde was "Isabelle"
The dark skinned girl with brown hair was known as "Keira"
The gothic looking chick called herself "Lorelai"
And finally Jasmine introduced herself and thanked the audience for their wonderful support.
Once the performance was finished Figgins closed the assembly with a few announcements and then dismissed everyone back to class.
Once out of the auditorium all anyone heard was talk about how great the Sirens were and how awesome a performance they gave. It seemed the performance had done an odd thing for McKinley – it had made the performers the most popular in the school.
That had begun to bug the New Directions troupe but little did they know that was the tip of the iceberg.
AN:
Hope you liked it – sorry if the performance seemed a bit too 'cut-by-cut' but I wanted to really paint out the scene. And now you know who the Sirens are but what trouble will they cause…?
BTW Song = Where Them Girls At by David Guetta feat. Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj
Just a heads up I love Nicki so a lot of her songs may end up in this fic… but not all I promise
