Episode 1: Welcome To McKinley(Part 1)
My name is Sebastian Smythe and I'm McKinley's newest History teacher. When I was a teenager, I was the most horrible guy at Dalton Academy, but when my Glee club were disqualified for using performance enhancing drugs, I changed my ways. I did the impossible, I'm a totally different person. Now, I've dedicated my life to stopping the next generation of students from being the same kind of person I was. But first, I need to get the New Directions backup and running.
Sebastian smiled as he turned off his ignition and climbed out of his car. He closed his eyes as he slung his satchel over his left shoulder, taking a deep breath. He opened his eyes as he turned to head into the school, when he was startled to see a car directly behind his.
"Hey, you're in my space!" The woman in the car called out, her blond hair pulled into a tight ponytail.
"I'm sorry lady, but I don't see your name on it." Sebastian said with a smirk. "Maybe there's a space over by the science wing?" He smirked deeper as he turned his back on the woman, who he could hear cursing him out. He walked into the school and looked around the hallway, which looked exactly as it did the last time he performed here. He hadn't stepped foot back in McKinley since the New Directions disbanded 6 years earlier. He dug his hands into his bag, pulling out a piece of gum before heading down the hall to the Principal's office. He arrived at the office, seeing the secretary, Donna sitting staring blankly at her computer.
"Morning, I'm Sebastian Smythe, I'm the new History teacher. I was told to come see Principal Abernathy this morning."
"Sebastian?" A voice called out from his left, causing him to turn around, seeing Principal Abernathy properly for the first time. She was a small woman, standing at around 5'2 and a little chubby, with shoulder length curly brown hair with blond highlights. Her eyes were a light blue and she had a bright smile on her relatively pretty face. "Come on in sweetie!" She said, ushering the tall male into her office.
"Your secretary seems a little distracted," Sebastian said, as Principal Abernathy closed the door.
"That's Donna. She's been here forever. I think she has some kind of PTSD from the last two principals. Apparently the last one went on rampages throughout the school and tore the place up."
"I heard," Sebastian said, with an eye roll. How could he not have heard of the infamous former Principal Sue Sylvester? "Anyway, I'm Sebastian Smythe. It's great to finally meet you in person."
"Oh you too honey!" The woman said, sitting behind her desk. "So, did you receive the email with your lesson plan?"
"Oh, yeah. I got it a few weeks ago. I've been prepping like crazy ever since."
"I'm sure you'll do great. But if we're going to be working together, I'd like to know a bit more about you."
"Well, what would you like to know?"
"Are you married? Do you have any kids? Pets? Hobbies? Anything really. I like to know my staff on a more personal level. Although I'm the Principal, I look to my teachers as my peers not my underlings."
"Well, no I'm not married. I am engaged though to a wonderful man, Aaron. We don't have any kids just yet, maybe one day but for now, we're happy just the two of us and our little dog, Bruno. As for hobbies, I love singing. I was the captain of my show choir when I was in high school, naturally."
"Oh, show choir? How fun! McKinley used to have one, but it disbanded a few years ago."
"Yeah, I'm actually kind of friends with some of the former members. We're not close or anything, being former rivals and all, but I'd consider some of them my friends."
"How nice!" Principal Abernathy said, smiling sweetly, reaching for her coffee cup.
"About Glee club, I was actually thinking a lot about that."
"Uh-huh?" She said, taking a sip of coffee.
"I was hoping you'd give me the permission to start the New Directions back up?"
"Oh Sebastian, I don't know. That's a lot of work and I don't think we have the budget for it."
"I've been informed by a friend that when Will Schuester started the New Directions, he was offered a deal?"
"Yes, I've heard that. He had to bring in the same funding as the Cheerios and the club had to place at Regionals."
"Well, if I can guarantee the same thing, can I try?"
"I don't think McKinley's ready for another Glee club though."
"We never know until we try." Sebastian said, leaning forward in his chair. "Please Principal Abernathy? I'm begging you. McKinley needs their Glee club!"
"Okay, you have a year Mr Smythe. But you need to bring in the same kind of money as the Cheerios and the Titans, and place at Sectionals for the club to carry on."
"Thank you!" Sebastian said with a bright smile on his face, his deep green eyes lighting up. "You will not regret this!"
"You're taking on a lot of extra work!"
"I can handle it. Thank you!" Sebastian smiled. "Now, would you mind if slipped away and went to my classroom to prep for my first class? If I remember correctly from the schedule I received, I have Sophomore American History at 9."
"Good luck Sebastian!" Principal Abernathy said as the former Warbler slipped out of her office. As he walked down the hall, he started singing in his head, looking at various students as he walked down the hall.
I Have A Dream
(Originally Performed by ABBA) Performed by Sebastian Smythe
"I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream" He sung as he made eye contact with a beautiful young girl in a hijab and a handsome young man with deep blue eyes and dirty blond hair.
"I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream" He passed a blond girl with bright green eyes and very timid looking boy, with bleach blond hair falling over his face.
"I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me" He finally reached his classroom, smiling as he swung the door open. He spun into his class, reaching his desk quickly.
"I'll cross the stream, I have a dream" He wrote his name on the board in chalk, before turning to his desk pulling out the seat.
"I'll cross the stream, I have a dream" He sung out loud as he sat on his seat in his class, throwing his legs onto his large wooden desk.
