For once, it's nice to actually have a different sort of song performed in glee than the ones we usually do. Not that that's a bad thing, but this song seems more...fun. Miss Holliday and Rachel are doing a very good job of performing it, complete with the musical theatre outfits, hats, and guns that shoot sparks at the backdrop. For some reason, I never thought that Rachel would be the sort of person to perform a musical number like this.

I was so, so wrong. We all applaud and cheer like crazy when the song is finished.

We walk together back to the choir room, leaving Rachel and Miss Holliday to quickly change out of their outfits and meet us there. Talking animatedly to each other about the performance, we take our usual seats. While talking to Artie and Brittany, I notice that Mercedes doesn't look very happy about something. Maybe it's about the banning of the Tots in the cafeteria.

Just then, both Miss Holliday and Rachel arrive back into the room, both looking cheerful.

I put my hand up. "Miss Holliday, I'd just like to say to both you and Rachel that the number you performed before was absolutely outstanding."

Miss Holliday smiles at me. "Thanks, Angel." She takes a pad and pen out of her bag. "Right everybody, I think we should start brainstorming for the Sectionals set-list. And remember, think of upbeat, fun songs that we all know!"

I'm just in the middle of discussing song ideas with Tina and Kurt, when Mercedes puts her hand up. "Miss Holliday, may I be excused? I'm going to go and shove some Tots up the tailpipe of Coach Sylvesters's car."

We all stare at her, bewildered. Now, coming from Mercedes, that's a pretty strange question. But even stranger is Miss Holliday's response.

"Sure!" she says, brightly.

I watch as Mercerdes gets up and walks out of the room.

"She's going to know it if she gets caught." I mutter in an undertone to Tina, who nods her head. Kurt is staring after her, looking confused.

Walking to my locker after glee, I swing it open and swap my books around. I'm in the process of shutting it and trying to avoid being knocked around by the other students, when a slight commotion down the end of the hallway catches my eye.

"In my office. Now!" Coach Sylvester is looking furious, holding the door to the principal's office open. I wasn't aware that she had been made principal. But there, walking slowly into the room, her expression morose, is Mercedes. And she's not alone. With her is Miss Holliday.

I look around the crowded hallway. Nobody has taken much notice of the incident, apart from a few glances from some of the nearby students. Trying not to stand out too much, I saunter as casually as I can up to the glass doorway, and lean against the wall, as if I'm waiting for somebody. I might as well have been invisible. If I listen hard enough, I can just distinctly catch a snippet of the conversation.

"You know, what you may not find so funny, Mercedes, is that tampering with an automobile's exhaust is a felony. Rest assured that I will be pressing charges." Coach Sylvester nods, as if to emphasise the situation.

"So...am I going to jail?" Miss Holliday wonders, pointing a finger at herself.

"Mercedes, you are suspended for the rest of the day. Now get the hell out of my office."

Mercedes stands up, swinging her bag onto her shoulder, and walks out of the room. I quickly walk down the hallway, blending in with the rest of the crowd. It's ironic that she got suspended for the rest of the day, I think, as there are only two more hours or so until school finishes.

Mr Schue is back in glee club the following lesson, standing at the front of the room, looking as pleased as we feel about it. We burst into applause the second he walks into the room. He waves his hands. "Alright, thank you very much guys. Please, take a seat."

We sit down and listen to him continue. "I know you guys liked Miss Holliday, and she was a lot of fun, but she and I agree that this is what was best."

"Don't get us wrong, Mr Schue, we love having you as our teacher. She was just kind of a nice break." Tina says.

"She did loosen us up." Quinn agrees.

"Exactly. We did talk about songs to perform at Sectionals." I remark, nodding.

"And she actually had some good ideas for a sub." Artie adds.

Mr Schue starts handing out sheet music, with the song 'Singin' In The Rain'. "It's actually what inspired me to try this out as a contender for Sectionals. The movie opened in 1952–"

We all look at him blankly.

Seeing our expressions, Mr Schue hurries on. "But the song is really, timeless!"

I stare at him in disbelief.

However, mixing it with Rihanna's 'Umbrella' is actually quite a cool idea. And doing this number in the auditorium, with water splashing round our ankles and raining down on us from above is probably the most fun doing a group number in ages. We've been given an umbrella each, and although it doesn't really help much with keeping the water off, it's still pretty cool to use in a musical number like this.

And I'm having so much fun 'singing in the rain' with the other glee members, I don't even realise how cold and wet I'm getting.

Which is good.

I type an email to my family that night, filling them in about Miss Holliday, and the 'Singing In The Rain' number we did for glee. At the moment, I miss my family. I'm not homesick, as I have had a lot of experience being away from home on school camps before I came to Ohio. I just wish that they were physically here to see what Ohio is like, and what I've been doing. I suddenly realise that in a month, I'm going to be out of here and back home. It's both a happy and sad thought.

For the start of this week's glee meeting, on Monday, we've barely taken our seats, when Kurt bursts into the room, excitement dawned upon his face.

Mr Schue walks into the room placing his bag on top of the piano. "Alright guys, let's get down to business." He stops when he sees Kurt's hand waving in the air. "Yes, Kurt?"

"Mr Schue, if I may?" He doesn't wait for an answer but steps down from the seats and stands, facing us, at the front of the room. I wonder what this is about?

"Long story short, my dad and Finn's mum are getting married." He pauses for a moment, smiling, to acknowledge the "awww"s and the shouts of, "congratulations!" directed at both him and Finn. Finn is looking pretty happy.

Mr Schue looks surprised and happy. "Congratulations, Kurt and Finn!"

Kurt smiles in acknowledgement, and continues. "Which is when I, as the wedding planner, got the idea to hire the New Directions as the band. I know that Sectionals is coming up, but this would mean so much to them. It would make their wedding."

"That's a great idea, Kurt. Finn, do you have anything to say?"

We look round at Finn, who hesitates for a moment. Then, with a grin, he says, "For sure."
