-(McKinley High Lunch Room)-

"There you go. Have a great apple and sandwich." Principal Schue said as he handed me the said items.

I found it a bit weird that the schools headmaster seemed to do a lot of odd jobs around campus, but I figured he was just one of those super involved administrators or whatever. So, I just walked away with my food only to hear him refuse to serve the students after me.

I made a beeline for the guy's table since I didn't know anyone else in the cafeteria. "Hey dudes. Mind if I join?" Placing my tray on their table taking the free chair between Artie and Puck.

"Thanks." I said once I settled down. "So those soccer tryouts were bogus, huh? I mean, second string? Come on, that's ridiculous. Am I right? Am I right?" I asked only to realize that they were staring at me with incredulous looks on their faces. It probably wasn't the best thing to say to them since they all made first string.

"So the game against Carmel, that should be interesting." I said trying to change topics.

"And why would that be interesting?" asked Finn.

"Well my sister goes there, and used to date that tool Jesse St. James."

All the guys start laugh as soon as I say Jesse's name.

"I know him." Responds Finn with a smile. "I made him cry once during a game."

"Wait. That was you?" I remember having to console Jesse after that game.

"Absolutely." Finn says with pride.

"That was so funny." Says Puck.

"Is your sister hot?" Artie asks randomly then turns to look at me.

"Uh….I guess so." I reply not sure how else to answer it, and then throw in, "She has a great personality."

The guys seem immediately turned off by that. What's wrong with having a great personality?

Artie looks passed me then cough-says "Incoming." Causing all of us to turn our heads to find out why.

I see the brunette that I bumped into earlier and her friend go up to the counter and lean forward giving us all a nice view. So I said what I thought a guy would say in situations like this.

"Oh, yeah! Check out the booty on that brunette."

"Uh oh." Artie immediately says and turns to see Finn's reaction.

"Don't talk about her that way." Threatens Finn.

"Oh, is that your girlfriend?" I tease.

Artie laughs, "He wishes."

"Until recently she was dating this college guy, but he dumped her. And I hear she's a total mess now, really vulnerable. Confidence, self-esteem is way down." Puck informs me, and I feel my heart go out to her.

"In man words, it's time to pounce." Artie says and moves to high-five Puck.

"Exactly." Puck concurs and completes the high-five.

The next thing I now this creepy guy with a Jew-fro walks past us and sits down next to the brunette. And he gives us a cocky look when he sits down.

I hear Finn mumble he hates the guy.

"Did you know bologna is 38% hoof?" I hear Jew-fro ask the brunette and her friend.

"Thanks, Jacob." The brunette says as she grabs the sandwich from his hands and gives it back to her friend.

"Looks like you got some competition." I teasingly say Finn.

The guys scoff and Finn replies, "It's just Jacob."

"Total geek." Puck adds.

I turn back to look at the girl and see her glance my way with a gloomy look on her face. "She looks so sad. It's heartbreaking."

The guys all stare at me funny so I continue trying to get them to understand. "It…it's just…I can relate, you know? I mean, I just got out of a bad relationship too. I mean you think you know someone. And you realize it's all been a big lie." I start to reminisce of Jesse's and my relationship. "Every touch. Every kiss." I hear chairs being pushed from the table as the guys are running off, so I try to recover. "Plus, you know you can never get chicks to shut up."

"Damn it." I mumble. Me and my big mouth. "All right, guys, catch up with you later." I yell after them and look at my lunch try. HEY someone stole my Pepsi!

-(Communal boys washroom)-

I stumble into the boys bathroom and realize it completely empty! I quickly make a dash for the sink and put my stuff down. I start taking off my ace wrap doing a little "I get to take a shower" happy dance. I turn around when I hear a gasp behind me. I stare at Jacob with a deer-in-the-headlights look and cross my arms over my chest hoping he won't notice anything out of the ordinary.

"Jacob Ben Israel, dorm director." He says. "Shower shoes are to be worn in the bathroom at all times except when actually in shower!"

I give him a seriously look and roll my eyes. but feel relieved he didn't know my secret.

"Did you not read your Dorm Life pamphlet?" he questions. "It was in your cubby."

I see Finn walk in behind Jacob then slap him in the back of the head with his towel. Jacob immediately falls to his knees in pain. Serves you right, freak!

"Wassup, dawg?" I ask

"Yeah. Ok, homey." He waves back at me

I turn to look at the guys on either side of me and realize my dream of showering isn't going to happen tonight. I sigh and grab my bags to make yet another awkward dash out.

"Later." I throw over my shoulder.

"Hey. You forgot…" Finn grabs my ace wrap that I left on the sink in between his fingers. "…this, Coolio" he finishes in a disgusted voice.

I grab it and thank him. "Word, G-Money." And swagger out of the bathroom.

(Quinn's Dreamland: Soccer field)

Intense, rough, and dirty game of soccer being played. People are being elbowed and kicked in the face. Coach Sylvester is watching with great interest. Then turns around and yells out.

"Ok, Fabray, you're in!"

I'm sitting on the bench trying to figure out what's going on only to be broken out of my thoughts by another yell.

"Fabray, are you deaf? Come on, let's go!"

I jump off the bench and realize I'm in a giant poofy pink dress. I wonder how I'm suppose to play in this but broken out of my reprieve once again by the coach's yell.

"Get your butt other there! Come on!" I run passed her. "Get out!"

I promptly trip and scurry back up. I'm trying to hold my dress up while I run to give me use of my legs, so I can control the ball in front of me. I look around trying to be alert for dodge the guys who sound like animals and try to literally pounce on me. I get passed them all and I see Jesse in goal eagerly saying "Come on baby. Come on." As he waits me to make my move. I bring my leg back to kick and just as I'm about hit the ball I completely miss and go flying into the air, and then I land hard on my back. The guys all crowd around me to point and laugh. Then I see this giant ball on water fall from the sky and land on me.

I start cough and sit up in bed on to realize the water hitting me wasn't part of my dream.

I hear some guy in a mask say "Rise and shine." Then more guys in masks around me and pick me up off my bed.

I struggle and yell for them to let go but they don't they just carry me into the boys bathroom where all the other soccer newbies are.

"Welcome to hell!" shouts the guy in the mask and cape. The other guys in masks move the flash lights up and down and make tribal noises. Then they start throwing oatmeal at us.

"Gentlemen! Let me present this year's soccer newbies." The guys in the cape says.

Another guys in a mask and toga speaks. "But first you must remove your clothes!"

The other guys around start chanting "Remove your clothes!"

Crap! I hate hazing. How can I get out of this? I know these guys aren't the smartest, but they're gonna notice some things. I use the commotion of the yelling the other guys taking the clothes off to drop to my knees and crawl away from everyone. I see a fire alarm and stand up next to it. I check to make sure no one notices me before I pull it. The sprinklers go off and I make a made dash out along with the rest of the guys.

-(Phone conversation: Kurt at the salon & Quinn on campus) -

3rd person POV for this section

"Hello. My life sucks." Kurt says answering his phone and sitting down at his station.

"I'm done!" Quinn tells him looking around making sure no one is paying attention to her.

"What?" Kurt questions

"Everyone thinks I'm a loser deviant. I'll never even see the field against Carmel. And I smell so bad I'm repulsing people." Quinn lists and then opens the collar of her shirt to smell herself then recoils in disgust.

Kurt looks at himself in the mirror while listening to Quinn's continuing complaints, and sweeps his bangs to the side fixing his hair.

"Pick me up, take me home and make sure I never do anything like this again."

"Look, Q, I don't know what to tell you about the whole soccer team…" Kurt starts snapping his fingers and getting excited as an idea hits him. "…but as for the social stuff, I got an idea."

"You do?" Quinn says interested.

"Yeah. We're going to show everybody the man you really are." Kurt replies then slaps a man's hand away hand away from his hair when they try to touch it.

"How are we going to do that?"

Kurt tells her the plan then tells her to meet at the Auditorium (the local diner and hang out spot for the school) after she has clean herself up. And thus they would begin their plan to make her popular.

Hope everyone is enjoying the story. If anyone is wondering where the Faberry action is it won't happen until towards the end of the story.
