A/N: I do not own anything besides Amelia St. James and any other original characters which includes her parents, aunt, uncle, and Jesse's roommate.
I get to school on Thursday and was about to enter the choir room, Tina, Mike, Rachel, and Mr. Schue were there. It looked like they haven't been there for a while. "Tell me this true, Rachel," Mr. Schue says. "She could have died," Tina told Rachel. What the heck was going on? "I didn't send her to an active crack house," Rachel explains. Holy shit, why would you send someone to a crack house anyway. I walked away from the choir room, not wanting to hear how the rest of this conversation will go. I didn't see anybody else from glee until fourth-period when that rolled around everybody was ignoring Rachel even Finn.
Everything was silent until Mr. Schue started speaking. "You all know what has happened between Rachel and Sunshine, Rachel has made things right and Sunshine is going to audition for us right now in the auditorium," We enter the auditorium, and the band was ready for her audition. After a moment, Sunshine entered the stage, she walked over the mic that was waiting for her. 'Hi. I'm Sunshine Corazon and I'll be singing 'Listen' from the movie Dreamgirls," Sunshine announces. Rachel turned from her spot next to Finn, "Broadway show first," She states. She got a bunch of shhh, and a shut up.
The moment Sunshine started singing, I was enthralled. Her voice was beautiful, she was going to be a good asset to New Directions. We were lucky to have her come to this school. During her performance everybody was cheering her on, everybody had a smile on their face. Sunshine wasn't exactly dancing but she was moving which was good. When she was done, Mr. Schue was the first one to stand up, "Wow, um. Welcome to the glee club," He tells her. A look of relief flashes across Sunshine's face, "thank you," she tells us. We all head back to the choir room and spend the rest of the fourth-period getting to know Sunshine.
Glee club didn't meet up after school today, which meant I had an hour of free time before Cheerios practice officially started. I was standing at my locker, putting up locker decorations when Coach Sue approached me. "A, Vocal Adrenaline had its own private office at Carmel High right?" She questions. "Yeah, why," I answer kinda confused. I didn't get an answer from her as she walked away from me. I was now nervous as to why she would ask about VA. Trying to change the mental subject in my mind, I started to think about how Jesse was doing.
Pretty soon, Cheerios practice rolled around, Coach Sylvester had reintroduced Quinn to the Cheerios, most were happy that she was back, and the freshmen had no idea what was going on. We went through the routine that we do during football and basketball games. Coach Sylvester didn't say anything about competition routines, so maybe she was still planning them. Cheerios practice was over sooner than I expected, and Aunt Vanessa was waiting for me outside the school. Arriving home, I followed my after-school routine, which was to eat dinner, do homework, shower, then relax.
The next day was Friday which meant that the first week of school would be done once that final bell rings. The horror was almost over, I always end up hating the first week of school. I was always tired during the first week, I hated all the review that was scheduled, and I hated all the tryouts and auditions for all the school teams and clubs. Anyway, I woke up and pulled on my clean Cheerios uniform, pulled my hair back into the perfect ponytail. I went downstairs ready to leave, and Aunt Vanessa had her bag by her side, my bookbag and Cheerios bag on the floor near the door, and two bagels in her hand. "Come on, I got called in early today," She said while handing me a bagel.
We hurried to her vehicle and I hoped in the passenger seat. The drive to school seemed quicker than usual. When I arrived at school, my bagel was gone and I was sad about that, I love bagels. Glee club met in the morning but Sunshine was nowhere to be seen, someone did tell her that we met in the mornings right? I had slight knowledge as to where her locker was. When I managed to find it, Mr. Schue, Sunshine and someone else was already there. It looked like Mr. Schue had just gotten there as well. "...and give you our fall rehearsal schedule," Mr. Schue finished saying as I walked up. I waved at Sunshine and smiled. She smiled back with a slight wave of her hand.
"She won't be joining you Glee Club," The man next to her stated. "Oh, uh, are you her dad?" Mr. Schue asked confused. "Her director. Dustin Goolsby, the new coach of Vocal Adrenaline," the man stated while he was facing Mr. Schue. "Just the other girl I was looking for, there is still a spot for you, St. James," He adds in. "When hell freezes over," I tell him. "Oh, they gave me and my mom a condo and a green car," Sunshine explains. "Sunshine, are you sure you want to do this, yeah they may have given you things but Vocal Adrenaline are soulless automatons. They take all your emotion from you just to win," I tell her. "How did you even find out about her?" Mr. Schue asks Dustin. "Hey, Will. I went ahead and made that call. Should have gone along with the poop cookies," Coach Sylvester states as she casually walks down the hall.
"I actually would have stayed here, but I think Rachel would have my life a living hell. I just don't trust her after she sent me to a crack house. Not cool. It was nice to meet you," Sunshine explains. With that her a Goolsby left, and he looked extremely weird with a tiny hello kitty backpack on his back. It was then as I was watching Sunshine and Goolsby leave that Mercedes and Kurt were watching the whole thing. Mr. Schue ended up calling off glee's morning meeting, and then we met during fourth-period. Everybody was mad at Rachel, I could see why but she had tried to fix it, she realized her mistake. It was Sunshine that couldn't move past it, and except that Rachel was trying to fix things.
After while in glee club, Finn left the room, probably to go talk to Rachel since she hasn't entered the room all day. When Finn left, the comments about Rachel only seemed to get worse since he wasn't there. Rachel never showed up to glee at all today, Finn said that she ended going to the auditorium. She and Jesse are still so much alike, any stage would instantly relax him and give him a place to think. Then it hit me, the only one who would understand Rachel right now and at least make her feel somewhat better would be Jesse. He has done countless things to ensure his spotlight in VA.
So after Cheerios practice, when I was in the car with Uncle Daniel on the way home, I sent Jesse a text saying that he needs to call me. It was after dinner, close to nine when he ended up calling me. "Whatcha need, Lia?" "You need to talk to Rachel," "Look, I know that Rachel and I are somewhat friends but why?" "There was this new girl with a killer voice, she was going to audition but Rachel got jealous and wanted to keep her spotlight, so she sent the girl to an inactive crackhouse. Now everybody hates her and the girl went to VA. She needs who understands her right now, because no one her knows what she is feeling," I explain to him. "I'll talk to her, I mean I have done some horrible things in the past in order to keep my spotlight," he states. "Have fun with that, love you, Jess," "Love you too Lia," The call ended and I started reading a book that would make me stay up into the early hours of the morning, well not really early. It was 2 when I did finally go to bed.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed the chapter next one will up next Friday at the latest. Let me know what you think, what you liked, and what I can improve on. Bai!
