I know I dropped off the face of the earth for a week, but I was on vacation so just cut me some slack!

"Guys, I-" Mr. Winkler began glee club, but was immediately cut off by Nina.

"We can't start yet, Fabian isn't here yet."

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about." Jason sighed, "We're going to have to find two more members to qualify for Sectionals."

"No." Nina said shaking her head and understanding what was going on. "No! He didn't quit! He's being stupid!"

Nina got up and ran to find Fabian. She'd only known him for two weeks, but in those two weeks she saw something. There was something there inside him and she knew that wasn't gone. She'd felt something when they sang that song together, didn't he feel it too.

But then she saw it.

There he was, by his locker, kissing Joy Mercer.

He didn't feel anything. Clearly, he didn't. Because if did, he'd be kissing her and not Joy. If she hadn't been so blinded by her tears, she would have noticed that Fabian was struggling to get out of Joy's grasp.


Fabian had been putting his books in his locker, when he should be at glee club.

"What are you doing here Fabes?" Joy asked, coming up behind him, "Should you be in glee club with the rest of your loser friends?"

"I quit."

"Finally come to your senses?"

"You could say that."

Joy got a bit closer to Fabian, "Fabes, with Mick and Amber in that loser club we can be the it couple. Think about it. You and me. Prom King and Queen. It could be seventh grade all over again."

"Seventh grade was a long time ago Joy." Fabian said, "We dated for a month and things are different now, I have feeling for someone else."

"At least let me show you what you're missing." Joy said deviously, pulling Fabian toward her. She sloppily kissed his as he tried with all his might to pull away. But Joy wouldn't let that happen.

"Joy!" Fabian shouted when he was finally off her, "What the hell?"

"Come on Fabes!" Joy yelled, "Everyone popular has left. That leaves you and me to take over. Don't you want to be on top?"

"All I want is for you to get over yourself and your reputation." Fabian said, "Trust me, it's not all that matters." With that, Fabian slammed his locker and left.


Nina, on the war path after she saw the PDA in the hall the other day (Fabian and Joy), was out for revenge. She wanted to show Fabian just how much she'd moved on. When Fabina was at his locker the next day Nina made sure to get his attention.

"Eddie!" Nina yelled, making Fabian turn his head.

"Yeah Nina?" Eddie asked, as Nina marched up to him, grabbed his shirt, and pulled his lips to hers.

"Whoa." Eddie said 15 seconds later when they'd pulled apart. He spotted Patricia behind him. Eddie could admit that he had feelings for her, but that kiss with Nina was awesome. It was the kind of kiss that totally left him wanting more and stuff. And isn't the point of high school to date around?

"Nina you busy Saturday night?"

"No, call me." Nina smiled.

"PDA much?" Fabian shouted.

"You would know." Nina said with a shrug.

"How would I know?"

"Don't play stupid, quitter!" Nina shouted.

"I quit," Fabian began, not about to tell her that he quit because he thought they had something –that they clearly didn't have after that display- and she liked someone else, "Because it's for losers."

"Really?" Nina yelled.

"Yeah," Fabian shouted, spotting someone holding a slushy and grabbing it, "And you know what we do to losers at this school." Before Fabian could change his mind –or remember the promise he made her- he tossed the blue slushy in her face. He watched at the blue dye dripped down her face and onto her shirt. Nina wiped it from her eyes as Eddie yelled, "Dude, what the hell?"

"You know exactly what the hell." Fabian said, shoving Eddie's shoulders.

"Don't push me." Eddie growled, pushing Fabian back. Fabian pushed him again, and Eddie was thrown off the edge. He threw a punch at Fabian, who ducked it, coming back and hitting Eddie.

"Guys! Guys!" Jason yelled, getting between them, "What's going on here?"

"He's an ass!" Fabian shouted.

"He threw a slushy at Nina!" Eddie yelled.

Jason looked at Fabian and shook his head. "Eddie, get to glee club. Fabian… be somewhere else right now."

The two boys parted ways and Jason looked around for Nina. He pushed his luck, walking into the girl's bathroom. Sure enough, Nina was there washing off.

"Nina?" Jason mumbled.

"I was stupid." Nina mumbled, "I honestly thought he'd changed. But, even after he promised he'd never do that again…"

Jason listened to Nina as she trailed off.

"Do you think he meant what he did?" Jason asked, "Fabian's surprisingly a good person. Maybe there was a reason he quit. Maybe someone should talk to him."

Nina glared at Jason, "Well it won't be me."

Nina walked off to glee club where she performed her song for the week, Take a Bow by Rihanna.


"Joy!" Mick yelled.

"What?" Joy asked, tears running down her face.

"Why did you do that to Fabian?" Mick shouted.

"Do what?"

"Kiss him."

"To prove to him that we would be good together." Joy explained, "But it didn't work."

"But it sure as hell caused a lot of trouble." Mick said, "Nina saw and was heartbroken, she retaliated by kissing Eddie in front of Fabian so he would see she'd moved on. Since Fabian still liked her, him and Eddie are in a fight."

"How do you know all this?" Joy asked.

"I spoke to both of them." Mick said, and finally noticed Joy crying, "Wait, what's the matter?"

"I was kicked off the cheerleading squad." Joy cried, wrapping her arms around Mick, "I-I was late to practice one time! And-And next week is my mum's birthday so I asked for an excuse to not go to practice and Mrs. Robinson kicked me off!"

"Joy, I'm so sorry." Mick mumbled, rubbing her back. He thought about how glee club needed recruits…, "Hey Joy, did you ever think about singing?"

"Are you asking me to try out for glee club?" Joy asked, bewildered.

"Sort of…"

"Sure." Joy said, "My rep is gone anyway."

"You'll do it?" Mick asked, shocked that she'd give it a chance.

"If they forgive me." Joy shrugged.

"Awesome!" Mick shouted, picking Joy up and spinning her around. He put her back down and looked into her eyes. He'd never noticed how pretty they were before. And, like really big. Whoa, why is he leaning in? The next thing Mick knew, his lips were on Joy's. It was different then kissing Amber. And Joy, she thought it was way different than kissing Fabian. To both of them, it felt… right.

"Sorry!" they both shouted when they'd pulled apart.

"I should go audition." Joy said, running toward the choir room.

"Wow." Mick muttered, following Joy.


"Nina." Joy whispered after nailing her audition (Someone Like You by Adele). She'd taken the seat next to Nina. "Can I tell you something?"

"Yeah Joy?" Nina asked.

"Fabes didn't kiss me."

"What?"

"The kiss," Joy explained, "That you saw, I kissed him. And he didn't want to kiss me. And he's really upset about you kissing Eddie."

DUN DUN DUN! Reviewing is nice and I'll update as soon as I can! I will give you guys another update this week and one or two next week because I have state testing and therefore NO HOMEWORK!
