First thing first, I just re-read my last chapter and realised there are a fair few errors in it, apparently I didn't proof read it well enough. Sorry, hopefully it would always be that bad but I don't have anyone to read and check my stuff, it's just me, so I apologise in advance for it all.

Matthew's POV

When I walked into the choir room for the first time, I saw the remaining members of the New Directions and I immediately wanted to walk out, I was feeling so nervous. Mr Schuester was standing at the front of the class room, waiting for all the new members to turn up and I realised that I was the only new member to have turned up. I nervously went to sit down near the front of class, in the middle of the room. I hated feeling nervous, it was a completely new feeling for me so I didn't know how to deal with it.

I saved from having to make small talk when the other new members of the group joined and for the first time, I saw the other new members that would be making up our team. The four of them came in at the same time, the blond girl went to sit on the opposite side of the room to me and the two others, a boy and a girl, sat together a little way away from me and the last person, a black girl, sat on the opposite side of the room to the blond girl but at equal distance away from me. None of them made any interaction with the others which made me feel a bit better and made me think the other didn't know anyone either.

"Welcome!" Mr Schue said enthusiastically. "You have no idea how pleased we all are to welcome the four of you into our little family." He said, looking at the four of us in turn. "We may have lost a lot of big voice but this year we're going to be bigger and better than we've ever been before. We are going to win Nationals again!" everyone around me cheered. "Especially since we seem to have siblings of our graduates in our midst." I looked around the room and I could see that the blond girl had a small smile on her lips. Mr Schue continued. "For the sake of our newbies, why don't we go around the room and introduce ourselves. I'll start and then I want each of the new guys to introduce yourselves and we'll go from there." He told us. "You all know my name, and I am going to be your glee director for as long as you're in this room. I also teach History so some of you may have me at some point during your time at this school. I, along with this group have one a National championship. I hope you all enjoy your time in this classroom as much as I enjoy teaching you all." He said, finishing his speech. We all clapped politely. "Your turn." He said, looking at me.

"Erm….well we're do I begin? My name is Matthew Harris and I'm fourteen, I'm a freshman and I moved recently from Texas because my both got relocated here. They both work for the same firm so when my dad of the got a promotion to move here, he insisted that they let my mum move too so they didn't have to be apart. I've always been rather into singing, even though I've never sung in a competition, so when I got here and saw that you had a show choir club, I had to join straight away." I told them. I then turned to the couple that was sitting closest to me.

Marley's POV

Matthew looked at me and the first thing I noticed was how pretty the boy was. Not many boys I met were pretty but Matthew was. I then looked towards Mr Schue and saw that he was waiting. "I'm Marley, I am also fourteen and although I haven't always been interested in music, my sister Rachel helped me realise my potential and now I have the same plans and ambitions that my sister does." I stated proudly.

"Oh no, am I going to have to fight you for solo's too because I'm telling you now, you are not getting my solo's." an Asian girl told me and I couldn't help but notice that her tone sounded rather threatening.

"Erm, no. I may have the Berry surname but every bit of my personality is like Rachel's." I told her, feeling slightly offended.

"Even if she did, there is nothing wrong with the way Rachel acted. She did that so she could be the best, lead you all to victory and get to where she wanted. Something that she achieved." Ryder said to her from next to me.

"Tina, stop talking about Rachel like that. She proved that she deserved those solos." Blaine defended

"Seriously? She was a nightmare. She took all the solo's believing that she deserved them. She didn't deserve them any more than the rest of us." Tina seethed.

"Stop talking about my sister like that. Rachel did what she did so she could get to where she is and look at what you accomplished! I don't want to fall out with any of you already but if any of you talk about Rachel like Tina just has, after how far you got in the end; mainly due to her determination; in front of me, we will end up falling out." I told them all confidently.

Tina just sat back and didn't say anything back. "Marley is right guys, you all heard her in the auditions. She had a magnificent voice and we can't afford to lose her because one of you has spoken badly about her sister." Mr Schue told everyone, making sure to linger more on Tina than everyone else.

"At least give Marley a chance. She may be completely different to Rachel and if not, it doesn't matter, it's not going to hurt our chances if we have someone else like Rachel in here." Sam told everyone. He glanced over at me and smiled and, even though I didn't want to, I felt myself blushing.

Ryder's POV

I hated that Marley was always getting stick because of Rachel. She used to get it a lot at middle school. Teachers would immediately think that Rachel and Marley were the same just because they were raised in the same household, and I felt they always made it a bit harder for Marley because of Rachel's "difficult" attitude. Because of this, other kids would try and tease Marley but they didn't have it as easy as the teachers. Between me protecting her and Marley's own badassness, bitchy girls tended to leave her alone the majority of the time.

"Ryder, it's your turn." Mr Schuester said.

"Right well ok, the name is Ryder and I'm Marley's best friend. We've known each other since we were toddlers so I'm pretty protective over; she's like my little sister. I knew Blaine before I got her since my brothers are Kurt Hummel and Finn Hudson." I told them all, making sure to speak mainly to the other three new members since everyone else had already heard about my family background.

"How exactly did that happen by the way?" the boy in the wheelchair asked. I looked over at him. "I don't mean to pry, it's just Kurt and Finn never made it obvious they even knew or liked each other until they started Glee."

"When my parent's former partners died, my parents both felt a great loss in their life and they both needed companionship. They met accidently when my dad defended my mum when a guy cut in front of her when she was in line at a coffee shop. They both formed a friendship and eventually they fell in love. They planned on getting married but then my mum got pregnant with me. Kurt was five while Finn was four," everyone looked my way when I let this slip and I sighed. "Not many people know this but Kurt is a year older than everyone else who graduated. As for why they both acted the way they did well, Kurt was considered to be an outcast as soon as he stepped through the main doors and he was bullied by everyone, he's always has been; hence why he had to leave for a year when he was in middle school, the bullying was just too much. Finn was a follower and he didn't want to be considered an outcast so he did what he did so he could fit in. He'd come home every night and apologise for what he'd done but for a long time it didn't matter to Kurt so it meant family life was a bit difficult. It was only when Kurt had to transfer, did Finn see the seriousness of the situation and make it his mission to make sure Kurt never had to go through the same thing again. My parents have never tried to hide from me about how much they loved their former partners, in no way have they forgotten them and every year, on the anniversary of their deaths, we make sure we celebrate their life as a family. Even though I never knew them, in the end they are the reason I'm here." I said sadly and Marley quickly grasped my hand, sensing my sadness.

"I'm glad your parents found love again." The blond cheerleader near the back said brightly, and somehow I instantly felt better.

"Thank you Ryder. Unique, you're next."

Unique's POV

"My name is Unique, and before you ask, yes that is my real name. I am also a freshman, my parents are divorced and I live with my mum but I see my dad regularly. There's not really a whole lot more to say." I told them finally. I didn't want to explain my situation with, what essentially is a bunch of strangers. I couldn't trust them enough to not go blabbing about my secret, so for now I was going to keep the fact that I was a boy, as well as Mercedes being my sister, a secret. I would tell everyone when I was ready, just like Mercedes encouraged me too.

"Is that really all you want to tell us? Don't you have any siblings or something else that could help us get to know you a little better?" Mr Schue asked encouragingly.

"I'm going to help you win a lot of competitions." I offered weakly. I hope Mr Schue doesn't keep asking.

Mr Schue stared at me curiously and I knew he was itching to ask me something. Just as he was about to open his mouth and, I imagine, ask the same question, the blond girl on the other side of the room to me, cleared her throat and Mr Schue tore his eyes away from me.

"If she doesn't want to talk about herself that is her own business. It's my turn now." She announced proudly, with a sneer in my direction. I didn't see us getting on so well.

"Go ahead Kitty." Mr Schue said tiredly, without even attempting to correct her on her manners.

Kitty's POV

"Thank you." I then turned to the rest of my classmates. "As he already said, my name is Kitty Fabrey and as I'm sure you already guessed, my sister is the great Quinn Fabrey. As you can also see, I am already a cheerleader, I just had to continue Quinn's legacy." I said proudly. I then spotted Marley staring at me. Before I could ask her what she wanted, she got in there first.

"Sorry, I don't mean to stare but your sister is Quinn?"

"Yes." I said, stringing out the single syllable.

"Rachel and Quinn are really close. Quinn went to go and see Rachel before school started." Marley said.

"I know." I said softly. "Quinn told me and she said that she was going to be visiting your sister more and more.

"Quinn and Rachie are friends?" the other cheerleader in the room asked, I think her name is Brittney. "When did they get so close?" she wondered.

"In their last year. Quinn gave Rachel a train ticket as a graduation present and then when they graduated, they kept in touch. I guess Quinn grew up." I said, looking over at Marley. She smiled and nodded at me, clearly thinking the same thing.

"Maybe we can follow in their footsteps, but not take so long about it." She said, giggling softly.

"That sounds nice." I said simply.

Marley's POV

When we'd finally got to know everyone, Mr Schue finally gave us our first assignment. "For this week, since it's a welcome week, I don't really have an assignment to give. All I want is for you all to sing whatever you want. I want you all to sing something that best suits your voice. This way, you can all get to know each other, at least vocally. Next week I will be setting proper assignments. As it's the end of class for today, I will give you until the next rehearsal to figure out what you're going to sing. Good luck to you all and I will see you at the next rehearsal." He told us before dismissing us all.

Jake's POV

As I was walking down the hall, on my way out of the school, I was stopped when I spotted something out the corner of my eye. I took a few steps back and was greeted with the sight of the Glee club in their first rehearsal. Normally I would have just walked away but for some reason I couldn't seem to tear myself away.

I watched as they all introduced themselves to each other and then I spotted Kitty Fabrey, her sister had had a baby with my brother Puck but none of us had seen the baby since she'd been born. I thought she'd been more interested in joining the Cheerio's than joining something as "uncool" as Glee but I realised that she'd probably been advised by Quinn to join and then I remembered that Puck had told me exactly the same thing. Maybe I needed to re-evaluate my feelings towards Glee finally.

My attention was diverted when I caught sight of a beautiful girl with dark hair. She was sitting next to a boy and holding his hand tightly – probably her boyfriend, but I was already enamoured with the sight of this beautiful girl and I was going to do whatever I could so I could meet her.

when I saw that they were starting to get up to leave, that's when I ran.

I hope you like this chapter. R&R
