Glee: Season 1 Episode 1 - Pilot
Chapter Five
It's been three days since Coach Sue put the Cheerios on this new diet plan, and my stomach hasn't stopped grumbling since. I'm only eating once a day now, but although it's constantly grumbling I can't seem to stomach eating as much as I did in previous weeks. These protein shakes must be working, I convince myself. Quinn has us both doing early morning runs five times a week now, so from Monday – Friday my day starts at 4:30am. I haven't been late for a run since that day earlier in the week, even with sleep still not coming easily. I think my body has finally adjusted to this lower standard of life. You can sleep when your dead I tell myself pulling on my sneakers or failing that the weekend.
Coach Sue also has us on a new Cheerios schedule. Training twice a day every day. Once starting before school and once after. I don't know maybe it's just the lack of sleep or because Brittany hasn't been in school to help keep my head clear, but I swear Sue's worse than normal. It's almost like somethings happened that we don't know about, someone's awoken a beast (well a beast within a beast) and now she is taking out all that anger and frustration on us. No, it's just the lack of sleep talking I tell myself as I drop my backpack down ready for the first Cheerios session of the day.
"That's sloppy" Coach Sue bellows out through her megaphone "Your sloppy babies! …. It's just disgraceful!...And I want the agony out of your eyes!" she continues into that bloody megaphone. I look out of the corner of my eye as I hear a whimper to my left and see the eyes of Lance start to puff up. I quickly dart them away as he tries to make eye contact with me, knowing what is about to come. You're on your own now I think to myself. I can't help you. You can't show weakness as a Cheerio, and you especially can't show weakness to Coach Sue. "Uh-uh, Lance, don't you start crying!...You are the weak link, pal!... How does it feel to be the weak link, huh?! That can't feel very good" Coach Sue shouts down the megaphone at him. Training came to an abrupt end after Lance completely broke down at Coach Sue's words.
Later in the day, after gulping down another of Coach Sue's protein shakes and supressing yet another grumble from my stomach Quinn decides that twenty minutes without shoving her tongue down Finn's throat is too long, so we set off down the school corridors to find him. I'm not a fan of Finn personally, but Quinn likes him, and apparently its good for our school cred to be seen with him. As we turn the corner of the corridor, I spot the oath at his locker, but who's he talking too is that Berry? What the hell is he doing talking to that freak. Quinn spots them too and is obviously thinking the same as me as she walks over to him with intent.
"Hi, Finn, RuPaul" Quinn says as she reaches the pair of them. Her demeanour changing as she acknowledges Berry. Ha RuPaul I think to myself supressing a chuckle.
"Hey" Finn replies.
"What are you doing talking to her?" Quinn quizzes her boyfriend.
"Oh..." Finn starts. I wonder what hole he's going to dig himself this time I think to myself, watching Quinn to see what her next move is.
"Science project – we're partners" Berry interjects, obviously covering for him. Does Quinn buy that? I mean she's obviously lying. Hmm, something doesn't sit right with me when it comes to Berry, but I'm not sure what it is, yet.
"Christ Crusaders tonight at 5:00, my house" Quinn says to Finn.
"Sounds great" Finn replies as we start to walk away. I make sure to give Berry my signature glare as we walk past.
"You don't really believe there science partners? Do you?" I ask Quinn as we continue down the corridor.
"Of course not" Quinn answers "But I'm not worried. I mean look at me, head Cheerio" Quinn adds, pouting and striking a pose "and look at Berry' she laughs pulling a face of disgust "he's probably just letting her down easy. He's nice like that. Anyway, he wouldn't miss Christ Crusaders" she adds raising her eyebrows suggestively as we walk out onto the field.
"Fabray...Lopez…Come with me" Coach Sue shouts through her megaphone approaching us, sitting watching the football team train. Quinn always insists that we watch the team train, I don't know why. I think she just likes watching Finn, but I haven't even seen him on the field today. We grab our backpacks and stand up as she reaches us. She shoots us a look and turns to walk towards the auditorium. We follow. As we approach the door the sound of music fills my ears. What's going on? Is Coach Sue showing us our new Cheerios numbers? Coach opens the door as we walk onto the auditorium balcony, and I can't believe what or more like who I see. On the auditorium stage I see six people in red shirts, and is that? Yes, I think it is…
"Is that Finn?" Quinn questions, saying aloud what we're both thinking "What is he doing?!" she turns to look at me. I glance at her and shrug my shoulders before looking back at the stage. Honestly, I'm not even sure what I'm watching.
"Glee Club" Sue replies, answering Quinn's question.
"Glee Club? What the fucks a Glee Club?" I ask turning to look at Coach Sue.
