Chapter 4

"I just acted as if I didn't just walk in on the weirdest thing I had ever seen," Will said. He had gone straight to Emma's office the the next day to discuss the events of the day prior.

"Well, you were in shock," Emma said from her desk, straightening some pamphlets. "You had just walked in on two guys that looked alike and most likely found out that they were adopted."

"Yeah, well, I'm a teacher! I should have said or done something," Will said, rubbing his forehead. He felt terrible for not trying to help Blaine and James in some way. There had to be something he could have done to help them.

"Like what, Will?" Emma asked, and by the tone of her voice, she already knew the answer. When will didn't answer, Emma said, "There was nothing you could do at the time, Will. They had just found out that they were adopted and were each others twin. They need to cope with this on their own first. If they need help, they will ask for it."

"Still, I just can't imagine what they are going through," Will said, shaking his head. "By the looks on their faces, neither of them had any idea that they were adopted and then add on top of that, they found out they had been seperated at birth. This must be killing them."

"Hello, William and Little Red," Sue said, walking into Emma's office without even knocking, followed closely by Becky.

"What are you doing here, Sue?" Will asked as he and Emma rolled their eyes, showing their frustration.

"Why, to make sure I have your votes, of course," Sue said, patting Will on the shoulder, and smiling at him.

"Votes for what?" Will asked, already getting annoyed by Sue's latest plan and not quite sure if he even wanted to know.

"You two obviously didn't see the news this morning," Sue said, smiling between Will and Emma. "I have offically announced my candidacy for the United States Congress," she said proudly as Becky clapped excitedly

Will and Emma jumped to their feet. "What!" Both of them cried out, not wanting to believe what they had just heard.

"That's right. You are looking at the latest candidit for the U.S. Congress," Sue said, ignoring the looks of shock on Will and Emma's face's. "And I have the perfect platform for my campaign. Becky, show them," Sue said. Becky pulled two sheets of paper out of one of the folders she was carrying and handed one to Will and the other to Emma.

Will looked down at the paper and didn't even make it past the first item on the list. "You want to outlaw all Glee clubes in the country?" Will asked, enraged.

"That's right," Sue said simply, continuing to smile.

"You go coach!" Becky interjected.

"On what grounds?" Will asked, getting more and more enraged and annoyed by the second.

"Students who join Glee clubes are more likely to become serial killers, rapists, and drug addicts," Sue said matter-of-factly.

"Were did you get that from?" Will asked, although he didn't know why he even bothered. He was sure had an answer.

"Reserch, of course," Sue answered. "Show them, Becky," she ordered. Becky once again pulled a piece of paper out of another folder and handed it to Will.

Will didn't make it past the heading on the top of the page. "This says it came from the Sue Sylvester Reserch Facility of Lima, Ohio," Will said, honestly not surprised at the fact.

"One of the most trusted reserch facilities in the world," Sue said shrugging.

Will looked back at Emma and both shook their heads. Will walked out of Emma's office, choosing not to continue this conversation.

Santana was pissed. No, she was beyond pissed. She had just come off the worst summer of her life. She was forced to watch as Brittany and Artie got back together. She had to watch them fall in love. It was one of the most sickening things she had ever seen.

It also didn't make any sense to her. Didn't Brittany say at the end of last year that she loved Santana more than anyone? So, shouldn't Brittany be with her and not Artie?

Now Santana found herself leaning against her locker, glaring at Brittany and Artie flirting with each other. She had to fight the urge to vomit all over the hall. She had to think of a way to break the two of them up. She had to win Brittany.

That was when she saw it. The new girl, Jackie wasn't it? She was a few lockers down from Brittany and Artie, and she was staring at them. Seriously? Santana thought, is she checking out Artie?

When the bell rang, Brittany stood up and wheeled Artie off to first period. Jackie's eyes followed them down the hall until they disappeared around the corner. When she turned back around, she saw Santana looking at her. Jackie slamed her locker door shut and sped off in the opposite direction of Artie and Brittany.

Santana grabed her book for first period and closed her locker door while she smiled devilishly as she hatched a diabolical plan in her mind.

Quinn spent the day trying to see if she could spot James. She didn't have him in any of her classes. She didn't see him in the halls or at lunch. By the time the day had ended and it was time to go to Glee club, she had came to the conclusion that he had decided to skip school rather than just Glee.

So, Quinn was slightly surprised to see James sitting among the other Glee kids. Quinn tried to hide the smile that was spreading across her face as she took a seat in front of James.

"Hey," James said, leaning forward with a smile on his face to talk to Quinn, "I decided to show up."

"Yeah, I see that," Quinn said, turning slightly in her seat, "What changed your mind?"

"Well, it was mainly you," James answered, with a big grin on his face. Quinn turned her head away from James to hide the blush that was creeping up her cheeks. Before she could say anything else, Mr. Schue came walking in to start Glee club.

"Okay, I know yesterday was full of surprises," Mr. Schue said glancing at both Blaine and James, "but, we need to move on." Quinn looked up to see James and Blane glance at each other and hurried to look anywhere but at each other. "So, I figured for our first assignment of the year, I would bring back the duets competition we had last year," Mr. Schue said, holding out his arms. "Same prize as last year, dinner for two at Breadsticks!"

"Yes," Santana said, jumping to her feet, "I will get my Breadsticks or there well be hell to pay!" Santana said pointing around the room.

"Okay, then," Mr. Schue said, moving on from Santana's outburst, "pick your partners and you must have performed by Friday to be in the competition and we will vote at the end of Friday."

Everyone in the room began to murmur excitedly about the competition. "So, Quinn," James asked, leaning forward once again and asked, "do you want to be my duet partner?"

"Well, since you're the first one to ask, I guess you'll have to do," Quinn said jokingly, shrugging her shoulders and smiling at him.

"Sorry to be such a disappointment," James said smiling back.

"So, we should probably discuss song choices," Quinn said seriously, "maybe we can go to the Lima Bean after Glee club?"

"Um, maybe later tonight," James said, rubbing the back of his neck "I have football tryouts after Glee."

"Oh, your going out for the football team?" Sam asked, over hearing James and Quinn's conversation.

"Yeah," James said, turning to Sam.

"Cool," Sam said, "Finn, Puck, Artie, and I are all on the football team."

"Oh, awesome. Didn't know there would be any other football players in Glee club," James said smiling at Sam.

James turned back to Quinn and said, "So, maybe after footbal try outs, we can meet up and talk about what song to sing?"

"Yeah, sure," Quinn said, reaching into her bag, "I'll give you my number so you can call me and set up a time to meet up."

"Awesome, thanks" James said excitedly. He took the paper that Quinn had written her number on, "Talk to you later."

"Looking forward to it," Quinn said with a smile on her face, "see you later."

"Yeah, bye," James said, and with that, James jumped up and followed Sam, Puck, Finn, and Artie to football practice.
