Riot – Three Days Grace
'That was a great idea Kurt, but I just don't think it's what we're looking for,' Schuester stated as Kurt, with Brittany, Santana and Mike stood panting. They had just done a fantastic job of Riot, by making the song their own, but somehow staying true to the original. It had been fast paced and gritty and in your face. Puck was half hard from the performance.
'Mr. Schuester?' Rachel raised her hand as she spoke, and Schuester turned to give her his undivided attention.
'I think you blew that song out of the water,' Puck stated, speaking up for the first time that day.
Kurt looked up at Puck, he wasn't going to lie, it had hurt when Schuester had brushed him off, again, but it was nice a nice sentiment to hear, even if it was from Puck.
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
if you feel so angry
so ripped off, so stepped on
you're not the only one
refusing to back down
you're not the only one
So get up
'Look, Mr. Schuester,' Kurt interrupted Rachel and Schue as they talked about whatever song Rachel wanted to sing.
They both stared at him like he'd stated he was pregnant.
'It's great that you want our opinions, but they don't seem to matter to you, because we work our asses off and yet you dismiss everyone of us, save for Rachel. Puck and Brittany did a fantastic version of Broken, and Mercedes, Artie and Quinn totally rocked that Pink song and...'
'Kurt, I really don't appreciate it when I'm interrupted.'
'Don't talk to me like I'm a fucking five year old Rachel. If anyone here is emotionally retarded it's you,' Kurt snapped, before turning back to a stunned Schuester, 'you wanted ideas, we gave you half a dozen fantastic choices and you shot them all down. I don't know about everyone else, but I feel like nothing more than a prop to be used at Rachel's will, and quite frankly, I'm tired of it. I'm sure Coach Sylvester would be more open to suggestions from her own club,' he finished, before shouldering his bag and storming from the choir room.
Puck was the first to follow him out the door and, after several moments and a lot of shuffling, it was just Rachel and Schue, who wondered what he could do to fix this.
