Disclaimer: I only own Glee on DVD and CD!
Two days later, Sam was sitting in the choir room with the other members of the Glee club. It was third period and Sam was waiting for a call from Miley, he was too busy focussing on his phone to notice Finn and Rachel staring at him. It wasn't until his friend Miley called that Sam snapped out of his trance.
"Sam! About time! I've been trying to get through to you for half an hour!" said Miley as Sam burst out laughing.
"I was in class!" said Sam as he tried to control his laughter.
"Which class?" asked Miley, suddenly interested.
"English" said Sam, his mood suddenly darkening and scared the daylight out of Rachel.
"Oh..." said Miley, not sure of what to say.
"Yeah, my English teacher doesn't understand that I have a learning disability" said Sam as Rachel stared at him.
"The Dyslexia's making things really difficult for you, isn't it?" asked Miley as Sam shot a small smile in Quinn's direction.
"Yeah, it's making me even more of a target for the jocks!" said Sam as Quinn looked at him.
"You mean... The bullying's getting worse?" said Miley, suddenly getting worried.
"Yep, Mckinley has that stupid problem and nothing's been done to sort it out!" said Sam as an exasperated sigh escaped his lips.
"Does it happen to everyone in the Glee club?" asked Miley as she sat down on her bed.
"Yeah" said Sam as he winced.
"Have you been to the cemetary to visit your mom yet, Sam?" asked Miley as Sam sighed.
"No, I'm thinking about taking Quinn to see her after school today" said Sam as Quinn looked at him in surprise.
"She'd like that" said Miley as she smiled weakly.
"Maybe" said Sam as he smiled to himself.
"What does it feel like having to care for your little brother and sister?" asked Miley as Sam laughed quietly.
"You've given me a hard question" said Sam, laughing quietly.
"Just say how you feel" said Miley as she smiled to herself.
"Well I don't know, it can be hard... Especially when I'm on my own without dad to help but it's fun at the same time because the two terrors are cheeky" said Sam, smiling a bit.
"I bet Stevie and Stacey are driving you crazy!" said Miley, beginning to laugh.
"They are!" said Sam as a burst of laughter escaped from his lips.
"Do you miss your mom?" asked Miley as she relaxed against her pillow.
"Yeah of course I do, it was only two and a half years ago" said Sam as Finn and Rachel looked at him in shock. Ten minutes later, Sam hung up the phone and turned his attention back to the lesson, ignoring the looks Finn and Rachel were shooting in his direction.
