And I'm back! Already! Whoo-hoo! Thank you for all your reviews and pm feedback. It's seriously what makes me want to get these chapters up quickly- is I can hear what you guys think. So this chapter starts right where the last left off, and then skips to the next day of school... Enjoy!


"Are you her brother? And where are her parents?" Were the first things the doctor asked Isaac after they had taken Lucy back for examination.
Isaac shook his head. "I'm just a friend who she called for help because she was alone. Her parents are across town and she said they wouldn't be back until later."
The doctor nodded. "Ok. Can you tell me what happened?"
Isaac recounted what had happened. The doctor scribbling a few notes as he talked.
"Are you sure she said she tripped?" Asked the doctor. "By the angle if the break it looks more like she jammed her hand into a dresser or something."
Isaac shrugged. "She might've hit on something when she fell."
"True." Said the doctor, somewhat uncertainly. "Do you have her parent number by any chance?"
Isaac shook his head again.
"Ok." The doctor smiled at Isaac. "Thank you for helping her, you did the right thing."
"Of course. Is she ok?"
The doctor nodded. "A break in her wrist. It's not too bad. She's getting a cast on now, but it should all be healed in a few months. It was a small break, luckily. I can give the rest of the details to her parents later." He walked off to go attend to patients after that, and Isaac was once more forced to wait alone.
It felt like it has been forever when Lucy came back out. She had a short bright green cast on her left hand. "Hi Isaac! Ready to go?"
He nodded. "Feeling better?" He asked as they walked outside.
"Definitely." She chatted on for most of the car ride to her house. Isaac listened intently.
He pulled his car up into the driveway and got up to let her out. "Your parents still aren't home." He observed.
She shrugged. "Yah. I'm sure they will be soon."
"Ok. Call me if you need anything else." He told her.
She smiled and hugged him. "Thank you Isaac. You are the best friend ever."
He grinned at her praise. "Like I said, anything for you."
"See you tomorrow!" She called as he walked back out towards his car.
"See you tomorrow!" He called back.


Jacob stormed out of the classroom, balling up his failed math test and throwing it in the trash can. Hopefully that would stop his parents from finding out about it for a little longer. It was the first month of school and he had already managed to be failing math. He needed to bring up his grade by report card time- or else his parents would find out and he'd be grounded for the rest of his life. With this line if thought, he groaned and headed to the library, deciding he better use his study hall period to actually study. The library was pretty empty, with only a students scattered around. He sat down at a table across from Kennedy, who he had been going to school with for a few years now. She seemed quiet enough. As he sat, she looked up from her book.
"Hi." He told her.
"Hi." She quietly said back, then returned to her book.
Jacob sighed as he pulled out his math homework. It took him five minutes to work out the first problem, only to find his answer wasn't even one of the choices. He groaned. This was stupid. "He Kennedy?" He asked, "Do you no how to solve this problem?"
She got up and walked over to look at his paper, than nodded.
"Look at the angles, their similar. And if you can use tangent to find out this side length, you know the ratio is 3:4. So just square that for the area ratio, and you can find the big ones area off the smaller one." She said quickly.
Jacob was even more confused. "Can you show me that?"
She nodded and pulled up a chair next to him, then took a paper and pencil from his binder. As she wrote out the work, she explained each step to him. Jacob listened intently.
"That makes sense." He said when she was done.
She smiled. "Need help with any of the other ones."
He glanced over the page. "Probably. Thanks. You're really smart you know, you should talk more in class."
She shrugged. "I don't really like talking in front of people. It kind of scares me. What if I say something stupid."
"I say stupid stuff all the time" Said Jacob, "and no one seems to care. Plus, you're smart."
She just shook her head. "So are you going to need help on problem two?"


Jackson was quietly munching his sandwich at a lunch table by himself when he heard a familiar voice. "How are you doing today Jackson?"
It was Ember, who, despite Jackson's insistence that he was fully settled in to his new school, had been checking up on him daily.
"Fine, thanks."
"That's good." She smiled and sat down across from him. "Are you finding your classes too hard or too easy? Now is the best time to get moved to a different level."
He shook his head. "Everything is good."
"And how are your extra curriculars going? Did you join glee club?"
He nodded.
"Are you having fun there? When's your big competition?"
"Yah. November." He hoped she was just naturally nosy, and wasn't suspicious of his motives for being here.
She smiled. "You really seem to be fitting in here nicely and quickly too."
Jackson took another bite of his sandwich. "Do you like to sing?" He asked her, hoping to divert attention away from himself.
She shook her head. "Stage fright."
Jackson couldn't help but laugh a little. He couldn't imagine the extreme confident and intelligent girl being afraid of performing.
"What so funny?" She asked, slightly insulted.
Jackson shrugged. "You just don't seem like the type to have stage fright. Don't you have to talk for debate club or whatever?"
"Yes, but that's different. I don't know, it's just something about being in front of all those people and singing. And dancing. Just reading a speech is so much easier."
"But singing is just reading a speech set to music." He insisted.
"Well, I can't sing anyway. Im sure your good though. I'd love to hear you some time." She told him.
"I'm sure your not that bad. And maybe sometime. You could come to Sectionals." What was he doing? He shouldn't be actually enjoying Ember's company- she was the enemy. In fact, he should be concerned about Ember at all, she wasn't even part of glee club.
She looked excited as she told him, "I wouldn't miss it for the world."


Kennedy walked into the fell club room to find a message scribbled on the white board.
In meeting- may be a little late
Without Mr. Shuester to keep control, the room was loud with the talking of the other glee club members, mostly arguing she noticed.
In the front the girl she remembered as Riley, was yelling at a boy- Skylar. She caught Riley saying "That's my seat. Move now." Angrily, but didn't hear Skylar's response. In the back row, Dani-something, was talking to Daniel, and looked about ready to slap him. Elsewhere in the room, the cheerleader, Cassie or something like that, was in a heated debate with a girl who's name she couldn't remember. And the boy who had auditioned late was sitting watching them all with disdain.
She sighed to herself. It wasn't what she pictured a champion glee club to look like. She remembered Jacob's words from earlier and gathered her courage.
"Hey guys!" She called loudly enough for everyone to hear. She hesitated as they all stopped to look at her, then took a deep breath.
"Why are we all arguing?" She began, "Our teacher leaves for a few minutes and suddenly it's chaos? What are we kindergarteners?" She looked around the room again, hands shaking. Jacob smiled at her and she pressed on. "Our assignment this week wasn't just about introductions- it was also about teamwork. And we're not really working as a team." She seemed to have caught everyone's attention by now, even if some if them were just rolling their eyes. "I know we don't really know each other well, but we're all here for the same reason- to perform. And we're not going to win anything if we can't band together." They're were some quiet rude remarks and more eye rolls, but most of the other kids seemed to be nodding at her words. "So," she said with a smile, "I had an idea."


Will hurried to the choir room, his meeting had run over and he didn't want to keep the kids waiting too long. He opened the door. "Sorry I'm l..." He stopped abruptly as he realized no one was in the room, but him. He frowned, it had only been fifteen or so minutes, surely they hadn't all left. He stared at the empty seats again. Maybe it had been longer than he thought and they did all leave. He turned around to erase his message on the whiteboard, but found that it had already been erased, a new message replacing it. It simply read:
Come to the auditorium
Will was confused. Had one of the glee kids written it? He shrugged and headed towards the auditorium. Upon entering, he first thought no one else was there. The stage lights were off and the curtain closed. He was going to leave and call it a trick, when he heart music playing. He was surprised for a second. He knew this song. He knew it very well. He hadn't listened to it for three years, as it only reminded him of all the kids he missed so much. The curtain parted and the stage lights went up, revealing all the glee club kids arranged on the stage.
Kennedy was the first to step forward and sing.
Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere

She twirled back, and Jackson stepped in front of her to sing.
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere

Will was grinning from ear to ear. Savannah and Skylar took center stage, hand in hand. Skylar sang first as Savannah smiled at him.
A singer in a smoky room
Savannah took the next line.
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
And they finished together, they're voice blending together as they belted out the last line.
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

And then the whole club was singing together, producing a sound that filled the whole auditorium.
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searching in the night
Streetlight
People
Are living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Callie danced with the precise movements drilled into her on the Cheerios. And she sang with a voice just as strong from her years of cheering.

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

Astrid's movements may not have been as graceful, but her voice was certainly as strong.
Some will win
Some will lose
Some are born to sing the Blues

Riley was always reluctant to sing by herself, as she believed she sounded more like a dying animal than anything else. But Will, from the audience, she sounded good on her short solo.
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

The whole club joined once again at the chorus.
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searching in the night
Streetlight
People
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights
People
Don't stop believin
Hold on to that feeling
Streetlights
People
Don't stop

They all finished strong and loud, shooting their fists up in the air.
Will stood and applauded, a new warm feeling in his heart. For the first time in three years, he felt as if he had his old glee club back.
