A/N: An extra update to make up for my lack of updating last week

I do not own anything besides Amelia St. James and any other original characters.

Thursday when I arrived at school, I saw something that shocked me. Like in a million years, I would never have seen this coming. Quinn was talking to Mercedes, which was actually kinda normal, but she was also talking to Rachel. That's the shocker, they both hate each other. I went to my locker and grabbed what I needed and left what I didn't. I dropped my things off at my first-period class and then walked around the school for a bit. I didn't need to be in the glee for another five minutes so I had time to spare. I waved hello to other Cheerios and the nice jocks. The one thing that surprised me the most was the fact that I have yet to be slushied. I honestly have no clue as to why I haven't be slushied yet either.

I actually found my way back to my locker before the extra five minutes were up. I decided that I had enough walking before school started and went to the choir. The guys were already there, talking about tonight's football game, it was a home game so that good. It means that my night wouldn't be so long. We didn't do anything in glee, in fact, Kurt wasn't there either. But I learn the reason why Quinn, Mercedes, and Rachel were talking this morning. They were making plans to skip glee after school today and go to the hospital to pray for Burt. I thought that that was kinda sweet of them.

Once we all had to leave for first period, I learned another new thing, I learned where Zeke's locker was. I didn't say anything but I go up and lean against the lockers next to his. "Amelia, what do I owe for this fine visit," he jokes. "Nothing, really, just tell me what you have for first period," I tell him. "Well, I have geometry with Barnes," he informs. "Oh, I hear that Barnes is really rude," "yeah, even being here for one day so far, I can tell," "Well, I have intro to business, first period, and it's in the hallway next to the math hallway. Walk with me?" "Sure," As we walk to class, I tell little things about the school that I know, shortcuts he could take to get to some of his classes. He told me why his family moved, that he was an only child, and the rest of his schedule, which shocked me because I have third period with him, and I don't remember seeing him in there yesterday.

We stopped once we got to his class, I said my goodbyes then went to my class. Intro to Business was alright, the class was loud, and we didn't have homework tonight, which was good. Second period was just plain out boring, I had health. I'm pretty sure the teacher for it hates teenagers. Third period was what I was looking forward to, well that and then lunch. I enter third period and take my usual seat. I had this class with Artie and Tina because all three of us are sophomores. I kept watching the doorway, looking for Zeke to walk in. I didn't tell him earlier that I had this class with him, so the look on his face was pure entertainment when he saw me. "There a reason why you didn't tell me?" he asks. "Just to see the look on your face," "Mind if I sit with you," "Not at all,"

Tina walks into the room, shortly after that, with Artie following closely behind her timewise. They both kinda just look at me weirdly. In Chem, I usually talk to Tina, Artie and the other Cheerios in it, so them seeing me talking to Zeke was a little shocking to them. Mr. Heath took attendance and learned that Zeke's last name is Matthews. It was a boring lesson, as usual, all we had to was take notes and start to master the names of the 50 elements that we would use most in class. Zeke and I ended up playing tic-tac-toe and hangman. Class was that boring. When third period was over, I followed Zeke to his fourth-period class, then while we were on our way to the cafeteria, I stopped by the choir room and dropped my thing off. "What class do you have fourth?" "Glee club," I tell him. He nods his head a bit, and we keep walking to the cafeteria. Turns out Zeke had met one of the soccer boys during his second period and was gonna eat lunch with them today, so that was kinda cool for him.

I sat with the Cheerios and jocks at lunch as per usual, except for the rare day that I sit with the glee kids. After lunch, we once again did nothing in glee, so Artie and Tina got caught up on homework. Quinn, Santana, Brittany, and I worked on the cheers for tonight's game. Finn and the boys were talking once again about the game. Rachel, Mercedes, and Kurt were talking about some random music thing. Mr. Schue was grading the homework from his Spanish classes. It was nice every once in a while to have basically a study hall.

The rest of the day went by so fast, next thing I knew it was homeroom and the bell was getting ready to ring. I didn't even bother going to my locker first, I went to Zeke's instead. "Good luck, trying out today," I tell him. "Thanks, I'm gonna need all the luck I can get," "I doubt that you are obviously good enough that your old coach wrote a letter to the coach here," "Right, I guess I'm just nervous, new school, new team, and I know maybe three people on the team," He explains. "It makes perfect sense to be nervous, when I tried out for the Cheerios, I was nervous, I never cheered in my life, but I did gymnastics and dance, and my confidence in those are what got me my spot. Just have confidence in yourself and your abilities, and you'll do great," "Thanks," With that we were both off to different places, he headed to boy's soccer team locker room while I went to gym to wait with all the other Cheerios until the games start.

When it was finally time for the games to start, it started with the freshman team and the JV cheerios, then it moved onto the JV team still with the JV cheerios, then lastly it was time for the Varsity game and the varsity cheerios were put to work. Everything was going well until the fourth quarter with like five minutes left. Sam the quarterback, the guy who took Finn's spot on the team, got tackled extremely hard and his shoulder got dislocated. Finn was now back as the quarterback.

Friday morning is the easiest morning of the entire week for me. It means that once that final bell rings, no school for two days. I arrived at school and went to my locker as usual. I don't know how but Zeke was waiting for me. "How did you know where my locker is?" I ask. "I asked some of the other Cheerios. "Makes sense, they can't keep their mouths shut. But anyway, how did it go yesterday?" "It went great, I'm on the team, I get my jersey today after practice. I get to play the next game on the JV team, and then once I get more comfortable with the whole team, I have a chance to get move to varsity if it's not too late," "That's awesome. Good job," Once I had my things, we got to his locker, then to our classrooms. He walked me to the choir room then I had to go. "See ya, in third," "See ya,"

"I know things have been pretty morose around here this past week but I want to celebrate some good news for our little family. Let's hear it for Finn, on getting back his quarterback job and leading Titans to a win in their second game of the season," Mr. Schue announces. "Too bad that Sam kid had to have his arm basically ripped off for it to happen but it's good to have back in the saddle, brother," Puck states. "Mr. Schue, if I may?" Kurt asks as he gets up. "Yeah," "Um, I wanted to thank everyone for your kind emails and queries about my dad but for your information, his condition remains the same. I need to express myself so with your permission, Mr. Schue I've prepared a number for the occasion," Kurt explains. "Of course, Kurt,"

"On the day of my mom's funeral when they were lowering her body into the ground, I was crying. I mean, that was it. It was the last time I was ever going to see her and I remember I looked up at my dad and I..I just wanted him to say something...just something to make me feel like my whole world wasn't over. And he just took my hand and squeezed it and just knowing that those hands were there to take care of my...that was enough. This is for my dad," Kurt states. He sang 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' and it was beautiful. It was nice that Kurt was open today by singing this song. I think most of us were about to cry along with him. Once I made sure that I wasn't going cry, and that everybody else wasn't going to cry. We all made our way to our first period class. Third period was entertaining because when Mr. Heath was giving his lesson, he walked around and then he slipped and fell onto the floor. When lunch came, Zeke sat with his new teammates, and I once again sat with the Cheerios and jocks. I didn't see Finn with Rachel so that was different.

When lunch was over and everybody was in the choir room, Mr. Schue had yet to say anything, Finn comes in and starts singing. It was about losing religion, which was weird because Finn only found religion this week. "I thought we couldn't sing songs about religion," Tina states. "Evidently, we can't sing about faith but we can sing about losing faith," Mercedes says. "That's sort of what I want to talk about today," Mr. Schue starts as he gets up. "Earlier in the week, Finn, it seemed like you felt differently," Mr. Schue states. "I used to think God was up there looking over me. Now I'm not so sure," Finn states. Finn ended up telling us the story of his grilled cheesus, and how he prayed to be quarterback again, then Sam got injured and he was quarterback again. It's things like that, that we can't control, we can't control the guy who was cheating that injured Sam, we just can't. But we can't make Finn feel less responsible for it since he prayed to be quarterback again, it was turn of events.

After seventh period, we collectively as a group, decided to not glee after school today. Which I was completely fine with. This week hasn't been my favorite and with everything going on with Burt, I think we just need a break. I slowly walked to my locker, opening it when I got there. I grabbed my Cheerios bag, and my bookbag then went towards Zeke's locker. "Hey, Amelia," "Hey Zeke, shouldn't you be heading to practice?" I question. "I should, but my locker does not seem to like me, took a while for it to open," he explains. "Ahh, yeah, the lockers here suck sometimes," "So uh...it wouldn't be weird if I gave you my number right…" "Not at all, just give me your phone," I tell him as I hand mine unlocked. He added his number to my phone while I added mine to his. "All done," I say as I hand it back. "Have fun at practice," I tell him before heading to the gym.

Cheerios practice was like usual, we ran through competition numbers, and then we had a fitting for the pants we get for when it gets colder. Some girls needed new ones because of growth over the summer and the freshman have yet to get them. After that I found Aunt Vanessa waiting for me. I decide to tell her about Zeke, needless to say, she was excited for me. "Lia, this is first time you've liked a guy since Jeff came out to you, it's a big deal," "I don't like him, he's a good friend," "All crushes start out as he's just a friend, I know it, I used to be your age once,"

When we got home, Aunt Vanessa's phone rang, it was Mrs. Sterling. Then fifteen minutes later, Jeff was at my house, with an overnight bag and his dance bag. "Parents are going out of town, and I need a way to get to dance tomorrow, so you know this means," "We convert my room into a pillow fort, watching movies till we fall asleep and eat a reasonably decent amount of candy and junk food," I finish. He nods his head and we dash up to my room and start working on our pillow fort. Jeff and I are like little kids when it's just us together. I remember when I met Jeff, it was his first day of dance, we were five. He was so nervous, and then I said stupid on purpose to make him ease up and it worked, we've been friends since then. But we upgraded the title to best friends when we were nine when we told that we would be duet partners, and that was one of the best days.

I told Jeff about Zeke and he kept asking questions about what he looked like and what his personality is like. "Jeff, you have a boyfriend," "So, doesn't mean I can't window shop," With that, we both started laughing and eventually Jeff starting crying while he laughed. He does that quite often, whenever he laughs too hard, he cries.

We both asleep around 12:30, and Uncle Daniel woke us up around 10:30 for breakfast. We had dance class at noon and we both needed to be awake and ready for it. When dance did come around, we learned a routine, it was a salsa, and in the end, when we officially perform it I get to rip Jeff's shirt open. It was a good day at dance. Jeff stayed at my house for another three hours after dance, and he ate dinner with us before his parents were back and picked him up. Jeff and I start drivers ed, within the next month if I am correct, so we can get our licenses before school gets out for the summer.

The next day at gymnastics was fun, I actually didn't really have a lesson I got to help out some of the younger students. So that was fun, after I stayed back for a while, just wanting to keep helping some of the younger students still. Sunday was over faster than I wanted it to be.

I got a text Monday, from Mr. Schue saying that Burt woke up yesterday afternoon and that the other glee kids had a number that they wanted to do, it was group and I needed to bring white clothes to school tomorrow for it. When I got to school on Monday, I quickly went to my locker, then went to find Kurt. I found him in the choir with everyone else, we started learning the song for the new number and we decided that we really didn't choreography for it either.

School passed by so quickly, lunch was a blur, and after school, we did the number. It was for a song called 'One of Us" It was about what if God was a normal person just like everyone else, and it was a lovely song.
