Everyone was pretty bummed out after the meeting with Mr. Bryan Ryan, until something that we never would've thought happened. It was like some kind of showchoir fairy made a magic spell on him so he started to like it. Yes, you didn't hear wrong, Mr. Bryan Ryan actually started to like the club, and decided not to cut it, instead, to our amusement; he decided to cut the Cherrios.

"I've got some costume made jean jackets!" He called and picked some up of a cardboard box. They had a big, glittery text on the back. 'NEW DIRECTIONS', it were a little too much for me, but I appreciated the effort.

Everyone seemed extremely happy for what just happened, and when he also pulled out sheet music from Broadway musicals and dance clothes, the excitement very high. Until Sue stepped into the room and ruined it, as usual.

"Hello", she greeted us. "I just wanted to stop by and congratulate you Will."

"For what?" Mr. Shue asked.

"For you landing on the lead in Les Mis silly!" She said and laughed. Will smiled big, until he looked at Mr. Bryan Ryan, who didn't look quite as happy. They had both gone to an audition for Les Mis, both hoping to get the lead. Sue explained Mr. Bryan Ryan's part too, but it wasn't as glamorous as Will's. Very far away from it actually. And right in front of our eyes, Mr. Bryan Ryan transformed to that Glee club hating robot, again. He grabbed the Jean jackets, the sheets, and the dance clothes and walked out of the room. I couldn't feel like I've just gotten punched in the stomach, why if he actually cut the Glee club, what would I do?

The week came towards its end, and I saw Artie looking very sad, and Tina seemed to be with him all the time, and smiled at him, like she was trying to cheer him up. I wanted to ask what it was all about, but I didn't think Tina would like to tell me, not that I've done anything wrong, it's just knew that I needed to leave her alone. She hadn't told me that, but I knew that was what she wanted.

"Are we going?" Matt asked me as I grabbed bag.

"Go where?"

"That girl is really messin' with your head", he scoffed. "You forgot that we're going to that club tonight right?"

"Oh, shit", I said while it came back to me. Apparently this new club just opened and Puck invited some guys to come, and he promised he would fix fake identifications, so we could drink without worrying about the cops. I was not planning to drink though, I was sixteen for god's sake, I was way too young. But I promised Matt that I would come since I had been so distant for a while, and that we never hung out anymore.

"It's alright man, but come to me at six o'clock, don't forget!" He said and walked away.

"Yeah, sure", I said and waved at him. I was not in a party mood. I never was to be honest. I preferred being home, watching a movie, play some video games and then go to sleep. But I was in High School; I needed to live a little.

When I walked out of campus I saw Artie and Tina by the busses, she showed him some papers, and then they shared a kiss. I looked away, I did not want to see that, and I did not want to be sad all night long. Too late though.

I've always been a fan of silence, it made able to think and relax. Sounds that were too loud made me the opposite of relaxed and made my head pound like I had a beehive in there. But Puck, Finn, Matt and some guys from the football team seemed to love it. Especially Puck, who ordered a beer to each and every one of us as we stepped into the club. It was very dark in there, with only a few lights to guide us, loud music, dancing people everywhere and people who tried to hold a conversation, but failed because of the music.
Finn handed out the beers, and all of the guys started drinking. I looked at the liquid in that glass, it didn't look very tasty actually. I took a sip and wanted to spit it out right away. How could people drink this? It tasted horrible. I left the glass on a table and when Matt, who already finished half of the drink, gave me a questioned look, I started to explain that I wasn't thirsty, but I didn't think he heard me.

The party continued and I noticed that Finn didn't seem wasted at all; he didn't even hold a drink in his hand. I walked towards him and asked; "Why aren't you drinking?" He actually seemed to hear me and replied something that sounded like "Designated driver!" I nodded. That was very mature of him, not to drink because he was the driver.

"Aren´t you drinking either?" He asked me.

I shook my head. "I don't like beer, and I don't feel like having a hangover tomorrow!" He nodded.

"Want to go out? This club sucks."

"Yeah!" I said happily, finally someone who understood me. I looked at Puck; he danced on a table, grinding against a girl. He'd just been dating Mercedes, if I can call that dating, he just wanted her popularity, so now he was a free man, and he clearly seemed happy about it.

I and Finn sat down in his car. "I'm not the party type", he revealed.

"Me neither", I said. "This was actually the first time I tried alcohol, didn't like it", I said and shook my head.

"Yeah, me neither, and I am always the designated driver, so I have no choice."

"Is it always you?"

"Yeah, it's by my choice though, I don't like being drunk."

"So you've been drunk?" I asked him. It was funny, I and Finn had known each other since first day of Freshman year as we tried out for the football team. We started talking in the locker room and it developed in some kind of friendship, but we lost it somewhere on the road. Even when I started Glee club we barely said anything to each other. It was quite sad, Finn was a great guy.

"Yeah, one time last year. It wasn't very funny, I got the worst hangover and I got grounded for two months."

I laughed. "The glory of being drunk."

"Poor guys in there", he made a gesture to the club, "don't understand, even though they get through it every time."

I was happy after mine and Finn's talk. It wasn't about deep things, it was just that we had fun and I felt completely relaxed in his company. I wished we were a lot closer.

I opened my locker the following Monday and had the joy to see Puck, Matt and other football guys being extremely aggressive, having red eyes and walked around like they were about to fall to the ground the next second. I looked over at Tina, who stood by her locker and packed some books into her black bag. And when I was about to close my locker, she turned her head, looked at me. I smiled weakly, afraid that she would get mad. But she didn't, she did the opposite actually. She smiled at me. And before I knew it she was by my locker.

"H-Hey", I greeted her.

"Hi", she said and looked quite embarrassed. "I need you to me a favor."

"Sure", I said and looked at her breathless. It was very rare to be this close to her face. I looked at her, her beautiful brown eyes that were topped with green eye shadow, her mouth that formed a smile and her cute nose. If I could I would kiss her, but I didn't obviously. I didn't want to get a punch in the face.

"Will you dance with me in Glee club?"

I was filled with joy after Tina´s smile at me, and that she even talked to me, asking me to do her a favor. To dance with her. That was a thought I´ve been dreaming about for ages.

Mr. Shuester stood in the front of the classroom. He explained Mr. Bryan Ryan's situation, and that he actually gave the lead in Les Mis to him, just because he didn't want him to cut the Glee club. I was forever thankful for that. Giving up his dream just to make us accomplish ours, he was a real man that guy.

"So now Tina wants to show us a dance routine, something that we'll might use at Regionals." He said as Tina stepped forward. "Who's your dance partner?"

"Mike Chang", she answered. I couldn't help but smile big. I walked up to her, grabbed her hand and we prepared to dance in front of the entire class. I gave her a big smile.

"Thank you", I whispered. She smiled weakly and looked down on the ground. She grabbed my shoulder and put my hand softly on her hip. "I love you."

Hope you like this chapter, especially the ending ;)

I actually don't know how to continue, there's not a lot of Tike left in season one, so I don't know if I should just skip to Asian camp, but it seems a bit sad just to end their school year like that, I want a proper one, like the one in the show… Hm… Help me out here guys, how do you want it?

It feels like I´m thanking you in every chapter, but I really want to because your comments make me so happy. :* So, THANK YOU!
