Let Me Be Me

by 626Edge

Sugar has a bad voice. She knows it already. She knows no one likes her. But she figured joining the glee club would help. Now she's given up. Can someone help her? Or will someone try to change her to their will? Or will someone try to change her but just to help her get out of her shell? Read on to find out.

38. Chapter-38

-Chapter 38-Group is made-

-Rachel pov-

I have still been getting looks from the club all day. I honestly have become self conscious. At least we are just doing groups and a party tonight. I can not believe sugar got me invited to a cheerio party.

I guess I should since we have some Cheerios in the club. I just figured they played nice but we're waiting to strike. Speaking of club Cheerios Cherry and Sherry are coming my way. They have smiles on their faces at least.

Nope, here come the club looks I've been getting.

"Hey Rachel!" Sherry puts a arm around me "How has your day been?"

"Good?" I slide out just to get in Cherrys grasp "You two are scaring me"

"Look" Cherry sighs and looks around before back to me "Don't come to the party tonight ok? Some of the Cheerios still don't like that we joined the club...we kinda have split in half"

"There are the glee Cheerios and nongleeks" sherry frowns "It has been a mess for the trinity"

"So me going would be bad?" They nod and I hold back the frown "Alright! That's no problem at all!"

"You really are a good actress" Cherry sighs "We can protect you to the best of our abilities ok?"

I smile and hug her "Thank you!" I turn and hug sherry who chuckles "You two won't regret it!"

"I hope not" They both loop one of their arms through mine "Now on to glee!"

-Sugar pov-

Rachel is taking forever to get here. I know Broadway doesn't matter but still. I figured she'd still come for me. Maybe we need something else?

"There you three are!" I turn to see Rachel with Cherry and Sherry "Get in and sit down! I have the groups already on the board! Sherry you are actually apart of the first group!"

Sherry nods and walks up as the other members do. They get their papers and line up. Shelby nods to the band and they start. I wonder how this will sound.

Wait Rachel is not sitting with me!

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya

Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Key Largo, Montego,

baby why don't we go,

Jamaica

Off the Florida Keys

there's a place called Kokomo

That's where you wanna go

to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand,

tropical drink melting in your hand

We'll be falling in love

to the rhythm of a steel drum band

Down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to

Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Key Largo Montego,

baby why don't we go

Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo,

we'll get there fast

and then we'll take it slow

That's where we wanna go,

way down in Kokomo.

Martinique, that Monserrat mystique...

We'll put out to sea

and we'll perfect our chemistry

By and by we'll defy

a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight,

cocktails and moonlit nights

That dreamy look in your eye,

give me a tropical contact high

Way down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to

Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Key Largo Montego,

baby why don't we go

Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo,

we'll get there fast

and then we'll take it slow

That's where we wanna go,

way down in Kokomo.

Martinique, that Monserrat mystique...

We'll put out to sea

and we'll perfect our chemistry

By and by we'll defy

a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight,

cocktails and moonlit nights

That dreamy look in your eye,

give me a tropical contact high

Way down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to

Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Key Largo Montego,

baby why don't we go

Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo,

we'll get there fast

and then we'll take it slow

That's where we wanna go,

way down in Kokomo.

Port au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse...

Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo

Now if you wanna go to get away from it all

Go down to Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to

Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Key Largo Montego,

baby why don't we go

Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo,

we'll get there fast

and then we'll take it slow

That's where we wanna go,

way down in Kokomo.

We all clap and the group sits down. I look and see Rachel's name is on group b. She walks up with Cherry and I frown. She doesn't have to be paired with them.

She has me Damnit! Why are they being so overly friendly? Is there something going on? Am I secretly being pushed to the background right now?

"Jealousy isn't a good look" I jump and turn toward sherry "We are just being friends sugar"

"Sorry" I sigh and look at a smiling Rachel "Still self conscious"

"She loves you deeply" I smile and sherry puts a hand on my shoulder "Get ready for our girls"

I nod and watch happily now. She does love me. I love her a whole lot too. I have nothing to worry about.

-Rachel-Cherry-Amber-All-

There ain't no reason you and me should be alone

Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)

And I got a reason that you're who should take me home tonight (Tonight)

I need a man that thinks it's right when it's so wrong

Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)

Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight

It's hard to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous

I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you

Where we can both fall far in love

I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth

Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge,

I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge with you.

Another shot before we kiss the other side

Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)

I'm on the edge of something final we call life tonight

(Alright! Alright!)

Put on your shades, 'cause I'll be dancing in the flames

Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)

It isn't hell if everybody knows my name tonight

(Alright! Alright!)

It's hard to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous

I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you

Where we can both fall far in love

I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth

Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge,

I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge with you.

I'm on the edge with you

I'm on the edge with you

(You, you, you...)

I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth

I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge,

I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge with you (with you, with you, with you, with you, with you)

"That was fantastic performances" The group sits down and I pull Rachel into my lap "I have a decision ma~"

"Before that can I have a moment of their time please?" We all turn to see Sue walking in with some Cheerios "I understand a party was planned for tonight?"

"Yes coach" Cherry stands up slowly "Was it not ok?"

"A party would have been ok" Sue snaps and soon Becky is pushing in a cart full of beer cases "But having this get stored in someone's vehicle during school hours is not! Who is the guilty party?!"

"Saying hypothetical scenario here" Sue raises a eyebrow and Cheery goes on "If one of the Cheerios was the guilty party..what would happen?"

"Suspended from school, off Cheerios permanently, and a bath in all of these beers!" Cherry gulps and sits down "Do you know who it was?"

"It was me coach" my jaw drops as Brittany stands up "I had someone pick it up during school and put it in a car"

"What was the cars color Brittany?" Sue looks at her expectantly "Come on"

"Yellow" Sue shakes her head "What?"

"It wasn't yellow" Santana stands up "It was blue"

"Wrong again" Sue looks at Quinn "Which means you know the right color "Off blue almost baby blue"

Sue sighs and shakes her head "I'm disappointed in you Quinn" Sue looks at Shelby "I guess you know what I have to do right?"

"Yeah" Shelby looks destroyed "I will figure out the groups next time...we are gonna miss a few club meetings...I'll see you all later"

"Shelby wait!" Shelby is out the door and everyone is silent as Quinn's arm drops "Damnit"

"I had a theory on who it was" Sue looks at Quinn "Your mom is the one who came up with the beer bath idea"

"I figured" Quinn sighs and walks to Sue "Let's go"

Sue nods and leads Quinn out with Becky. The room stays silent for a few minutes. No one dares to move a inch. None of us really know what to do.

"I think glee has been dismissed" Rachel stand up out of my grasp "I have to go fix my mother"

"Let us come" Rachel sticks her hand up stopping Santana and Brittany "What?"

"You three have done enough" Rachel glares at them "You borrowed her money, gave it to Quinn, and bought beer! I don't want to see you three and I bet she doesn't either! Just stay away!"

"Ra~"

"Don't side with them" I quickly close my mouth "You either are with me or with them"

"I don't wanna pi~"

"Go with her" Brittany seems to barely be keeping herself together "We will close down the room"

I nod and get up out of my chair. Rachel grabs my hand and we are quickly out. That's not how that was supposed to go. Tonight was gonna be a fun night.

I guess it's gonna be a tense night instead. I am so not ready to leave school now.
