A/N: Hallo! Changes, changes, and more changes. Vets of the story, please don't hate me, I tried to follow as closely as I could...
"Okay, guys, we're done for the day. I think Jeff can take it from here, now that you know the basics," Reese said to the guys and the freshmen. They all were doing loads better, and it was all thanks to her. Not that she was proud of herself or anything.
Everyone gradually left, all except for the seniors. Sebastian made his way over to her, "Nice dramatic entrance. I'm almost envious."
"Oh, Sebastian. I think someone put enormous amounts of sass where your soul should be," Reese said.
"I missed you too, Reese," Sebastian said sarcastically and gave her a brisk hug. "But don't you think you're little McKinley friends will be upset if they found out you were helping us?"
Reese scoffed, "I could honestly care less what they think."
"So someone's not happy there, hmm? You do know you could always come back. Once a Warbler, always a Warbler, remember?" Sebastian asked.
"Yeah, how could I forget?" Reese said. They had practically drilled it into her and Blaine's heads for months until they finally gave up. The difference now was that she was considering it.
"Hey, Reese! Want to come back to the dorm to play Left 4 Dead 2?" Jeff called from across the room. He was talking with Wes and David, but looked like he wanted to catch her before she left.
"As long as I'm Ellis!" She called back. He was only her favorite character.
Reese was sitting on the couch in her old dorm with Jeff. Sebastian didn't play much, and he had gone off somewhere in the dorm. Jeff was ripping through zombies with a chainsaw, and Reese was sniping them with a machine gun. All was well in the land of L4D2.
"So how are things at McKinley?" Jeff asked, sending a zombie off the roof of a building.
"Don't want to even waste my valuable breath on the topic," Reese grinned as she killed a Boomer, "I bet things are more eventful here."
"Yeah, considering nothing ever happens here. They allowed girls to enroll, but none have yet other than a few that are scheduled to come later in the year. But that's way off. I guess none of them wanted to come now because their brave leader moved away. What girl would want to be alone at an all-guy school anyway," Jeff asked. Reese shot him a look. "Oops."
"It's fine, Jeff, we all know how you are, no filter," Reese said, earning a glare from him. "Now we're even."
"I'm just shocked-" Jeff started, but Reese getting thrown off the top of a bridge by a Tank.
"THAT'S CHEATING. YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO ME. I DON'T DIE IN THIS GAME. I AM A GOD WHEN IT COMES TO PLAYING THIS GAME. THAT'S JUST RUDE. YOU DON'T THROW GODS OFF OF BRIDGES." Reese raged, throwing her controller at the TV, but her throw went wide and ended up in an armchair instead.
Sebastian came in a second later, "Shut up, Reese. Someone is asleep downstairs. You'll wake him up."
Reese gave him a I know what's going on look and said, "Sebastian's been a bad boy, Jeff."
"Oh would you just shut up already, Reese. He's the new captain of the Warblers and he's sick, so leave me alone," Sebastian said, irritated.
"Oh, Reese, I just realized how much I've missed you. I would never have thought to make a comment like that," Jeff said, smiling from the couch. Reese bowed dramatically.
"And what's this new captain's name?" Reese asked. As if on cue, a door shut from downstairs and there were footsteps on the stairs. A tall dirty-blonde boy emerged from the spiral staircase, looking extremely groggy.
"Well if it isn't our own Sleeping Beauty?" Jeff asked, looking over his shoulder at the boy. He rolled his eyes in response, and then they rested on her.
"Jeff, you sure do move on fast. Tiffany broke up with you yesterday and you already have a new girlfriend," he said, looking her over, "At least this one's pretty." Reese's ears warmed up a little bit.
"I take offense to that," Jeff said. "But really, good job at being sick and still managing to be a pain in the butt. Hunter, this is Recylia Lester. Reese, this is Hunter."
Hunter's face lit up with recognition, "So you're the famous Dalton Girl."
"So that's what their calling me now?" Reese said. "Well I guess it's better than 'that girl over there.' It was like I was a tapestry or something."
Hunter held his hand out for her to shake, "I'm Hunter." Before Reese could shake his hand, however, he pulled it back as his face contorted with pain.
"Headache?" Reese asked. Hunter nodded and she went to get her bag off the coffee table. She fished out a small bottle of Tylenol and handed it to him. "Take two of these every four hours."
"You don't have to-" Hunter said.
"I know, I want to," Reese remembered taking care of all the guys when they were sick. Some of them-Sebastian-were difficult to deal with when they were sick, but they were her family, and newbies were as well. Especially the attractive ones like Hunter.
"Yeah, Reese is like a mom away from your mom. So be warned," Jeff said, retrieving the thrown controller and handed it to her. "Now are we going to play or not?"
"Yeah, just never call me your mom again. If you were my child you wouldn't be as weird," Reese said.
Jeff looked offended, "I prefer the term unique."
"I prefer the term bull crap," Reese said, seeing the small smile spread across Hunter's face. She watched him out of the corner of her eye, noticing the way his foot tapped when he played and his thumb twitch over the toggles when he wasn't using them. She also saw him looking out the corner of his eye at her, doing the exact same thing. Reese put her attention back on the game.
After about an hour of brutal zombie murder, Nick popped his head in, "Emergency Warbler meeting in five. Hey, Reese." And with that he was gone.
"And that's my cue to leave," Reese said, gathering her things after Jeff paused the game. She was halfway out the door before Hunter called after her.
"Hey, Recylia. Do you want to go get coffee sometime after school?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah, that'd be great. Bye guys," she was about to close the door before she corrected him, "Call me Reese."
She shut the door before she got a reply.
A/N: How were the changes? I think they're so much better, but that's just me. I own nothing, just the plot. I think I'm going to do the next chapter, and then the changes will be done. ~Star and Pusheen
