The list was up. A blank piece of paper, waiting for her. Her eyes were deep in thought and she bit her lip. She could never do it. She can barely talk. She backed away from the sign up sheet and bumped into someone. She turned around to see a guy. Not just any guy either. Nope it just had to be the guy she had a crush on. She looked up at him and couldn't help but smile.
You gonna sign up? He wrote on his board, gesturing to the Glee sign ups. She shook her head, her brain malfunctioning. He shrugged, then wrote his name on the next clean line. She went on her tip-toes to read it, but she felt a tap on her shoulder.
My name is Randy, since you were wondering. She blushed, embarrassed that she got caught. His blue-grey eyes sparkled like the ocean.
"Amelia" She gestured to herself awkwardly. Stupid, she thought herself. He nodded, scratching the back of his hair. Randy scrawled something and showed it to her before walking away. Cool necklace.
"I like yours too" Amelia whispered.
"What just happened?" She shrieked and heard a soft laugh. She smiled and swatted the person on the shoulder.
"Abby! Don't give me a heart attack." Abby smiled, her long hair falling in front of her eyes and angular features. Amelia and Abby had been friends since grade school. Amelia stood by Abby when she went blind and Abby stuck through Amelia's thick and thin stages.
"Do me a favor and sign us both up for Glee club." Amelia wrote Abby Scott underneath Randy Mautula. She scribbled a little heart and shaded it in, but Abby wasn't fooled.
"Al. Sign it." Amelia walked away briskly. Abby huffed and tried to follow her, but something cold splashed her face. She bumbled against the wall, licking her lips. Grape.
"Careful Helen Keller," sneered Emmie.
"Yeah, one more bump and you might lose brain cells," added Ana.
Abby wiped her eyes with her hand and tried not to imagine what the slush did to the dress her sister picked out. She felt the stickiness seep through her ballet flats and felt helplessness and anger.
"Those girls are stupid. Helen Kelleher was deaf too." Abby felt an arm help her up hand her the cane.
"Here. I always keep a spare set of clothes."
"But I have-"
"No buts! Now get dressed." Abby was lead to a stall and she shut the door behind her. She fingered each article of clothing and grimaced.
"I'm Summer by the way. Now c'mon. Glee auditions are next period." Abby groaned but complied.
Meanwhile outside the girls' bathroom, a couple was kissing. All of the hopeful suitors of the girl were watching, disappointed. As they walked away, the couple pulled apart.
"Thanks TJ. I owe you one." Tobin beamed, the puppy love obvious in his dark eyes.
"Anything for you Ashleigh." Ashleigh gave him a smile and touched his shoulder before walking away towards her friends. Ashleigh felt confused. The guys were still hanging around when she proclaimed her status. So did they just want to hang out? Boys. Ashleigh saw two figures bump into each other and flinched. Oh no... Not again...
"Watch where you're going, Dunder Head!" A dark haired girl was cornering a ginger girl who didn't look that afraid.
"You bumped into me." The redhead muttered. The other girl laughed and pushed her against a locker. The shorter girl shrieked.
"Sorry Christina," she squealed. Chrissy nodded and let go, cracking her knuckles as she strolled away. Ashleigh sighed, chasing after her friend. The victim sighed, closing her eyes.
"Not that I mind too much, but you're standing in front of my locker." She opened up her eyes to see THE Luke Monroe. She sighed, pulled together her anger to give a trademark smile as she skipped away. Luke chuckled and got his books he had no intention of using. Underclassmen were getting hotter every year. Especially the weird ones. He closed his locker and saw a kid getting slushied by some jocks.
"Hey wannabe hulk, careful you don't break your suspenders."
"Yeah, we're green with jealousy about them."
"Not that you'd fit in them," the blonde boy growled, his hands clenching into fists before storming away. Jake and his crew didn't seem to have heard him as they walked away. Luke shook his head. Some kids like Jake Puckerman never grow out of high school.

Amelia found Abby in the auditorium. And she was NOT happy. Amelia had to put a hand over her mouth to keep from laughing. Gone were the sapphire baby doll dress and the beige floral ballet flats. In their place were a shirt that said "Girls can do anything boys can do in high heels", skinny jeans and black converse. Her scowl was evident. Amelia sat down next to her and nudged her shoulder.
"Excuse me, have you seen an Abigail Scott? I was supposed to meet her here and-" Abby elbowed the giggling girl harshly.
"I had to steal the shoes from your locker or else I would have had to wear wedges."
"What happened?"
"I was slushied by some Cheerios and..." The room fell silent as two figures walked up to the desk in the audience. The taller figure surveyed the two separated groups of teens: the ones who wanted to be here and the ones who didn't. The latter group was guarded by Coach Puckerman and his even scarier wife, Quinn, who was now the principal of Mckinley High. He nodded to the football coach, who nodded back nonchalantly. The mystery man tried to bend down to whisper to his partner, eventually giving up. He sat down as she remained standing.
"Are you this is a good idea, Rach? I blew this gig three years ago." Rachel Hudson took his hand and looked him in the eye.
"Don't worry, Finn. You are the perfect man for the job." Finn took a deep breath and looked down at his clipboard.
"Alright guys. First up is..."
Tada! First chapter is finally posted. I included most of the main character and one reoccurring character (I'm not sure I represented Ashleigh well so make sure to comment in the reviews or PM me). The two unnamed characters were Kase (the girl who Chrissy fought with) and Charlie (Suspenders guy). So what do you think? If your character was in there, criticize or compliment me. If your character was not, give me some more ideas of which group they would be in (want to or forced to) and why they should get into Glee. I still need guys otherwise I'm going to bring some of my pathetic OCs to the table. Remember, I'm only taking males UNLESS you have a character who you think would fit into my plots. Thanks for reading and Chapter 2 will be up after the main people comment on your characters.
