A/N: Thank you to all who reviewed! Also is anyone spotting the Glee references in these chapters? ;) Be looking for more in this one.
It was a Friday afternoon on the McKinley High football field as the Cheerios were practicing formations for the game that night. With the Glee show only a week away, everyone was buzzing about it.
"So what's the deal with Will choosing that germ freak as his partner in the duet?" asked Halee Himes, a Cheerio known for her short skirts and bitchy attitude. "Not getting enough loving from you now?"
Kendra, Terri's little sister who had just joined the Cheerios as a freshmen this year piped up. "Oh shut up, Halee, clearly he just feels sorry for her. Isn't that right, Terri?"
"Well obviously, Will is getting plenty from me…I may be President of the Celibacy Club but that doesn't mean we don't fool around. Last week at my house, we were making out and I let him put his hands on my...well you what I'm all talking about…"
"But over the shirt, right?" asked Julia Walker, one of Terri's best friends also in the Celibacy Club who was a Senior too.
Terri didn't have time to answer back as Coach Peters blew her whistle and waltzed up to them.
"Do you girls think this is bimbo social hour? Because we didn't become National Champions last year by gossiping about fatties and sluts during formation practice! You wanna bitch about your sad little lives and how your boyfriends dump you because you won't go to third base or talk about those outcasts and uglies that could make a worst dressed list any given day of the week, you do it after MY practice. Am I making myself clear?"
"Yes, Coach Peters," they all sighed in frustrations at their dictator coach who had nothing better to do than come up with ways to make their lives miserable.
As Coach Peters walked back to her podium to yell at them more, Terri quickly whispered, "Nope, I let his hands cup 'em under the shirt this time girls…" and they all joined in laughter together.
Terri forced a smile as she remembered back on that day she grabbed his hand and pushed it under her low-cut blouse.
They had been making out pretty heavy when Will told her he had to get home for dinner and got up from the couch. Terri pulled him back down to her and moved so she was straddling on top of him.
"Whoa, what are you doing baby?"
"Nothing, Will… just thought we could try something new tonight." She pulled his hands up so they settled on her ass.
"But…I-I mean I'm pleased you want to do this, but…why now?"
Oh Will, always a gentlemen... Terri was a little uncomfortable with the idea of moving forward physically, but the other day she had watched as his eyes moved to Emma walking past them in the hallway as they were kissing. Ever since she joined that damn Glee club it was like his head was in the clouds.
"Will, I just, I mean we've been together for 2 years now and well—it's not like we're having sex…"
As she said this, Terri took Will's hand off her backside and pulled it up under her shirt resting it on the side of her stomach.
Will was only a high school, hormone-raging boy and as Terri started to grind against him he couldn't stop himself and they started making out again.
"Just do it, Will… it's fine, I know you want to…" she whispered in between kisses as he hesitantly pushed his hands further up her sides and moved to cup her breasts. He audibly groaned into their kiss and Terri knew she had done what she needed to do in order to keep her trophy boyfriend around longer. She would put out enough to keep his eyes on her and therefore keeping her popular reputation alive.
After practice all of the girls headed out of the locker room and Kendra scurried behind Terri headed to her new Range Rover.
"So…is there really something going on between Will and that girl or what?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Kendra…Will is mine."
"I—I know that, sis, but what did he say when you confronted him about it?"
She had finally asked him about Emma yesterday after Kendra saw Emma leaving his house on Monday night and then when he blew her off on Wednesday to see her again.
"He just told me that they're practicing together and that's all that is going on, ok? She's disgusting and weird…just drop it Kendra."
"Ok…sorry. I just—nevermind."
"What is it now?" Terri was growing very frustrated with her little sister.
"Well, you know how I mentioned that she left his house on Monday? I…I saw them afterschool on Tuesday leaving the auditorium too…they seemed pretty chummy."
Terri had not known about this encounter.
"What the heck is going on here…he's been with her every night this week then?! She's obviously trying to build up her reputation with him. What could you possibly still be talking about with that boy…he's not that interesting honestly,"
Terri chuckled to herself, she had liked Will when she first met him back when she was sophomore but as time passed it was clear they had completely different passions in life and she never understood why he cared about the outcasts so much. But even as a junior, he was one of the most popular guys in school. After Ethan Pillsbury got injured in the playoffs, Will had taken his spot as the top forward for the team and Ethan hadn't won his spot back since. Will was cute and she'd bat her lashes and act like she cared about the outcasts herself to keep him. They were gonna be Winter King and Queen this year now that he was a junior making them eligible.
"Well, whatever she's doing…it's working because they can't seriously need that much practice. Did he say anything else about her?"
"Ugh, just a bunch of crap about how she's sweet and down-to-earth and that he thinks we could be good friends and I should give her a chance."
"Friends??" Kendra began to laugh at the thought of that one.
"God, I know. I'll do that when I decide to commit social suicide… The things he says sometimes are just so ridiculous. If he wasn't so popular I'd go for Pillsbury's brother in a heartbeat. You know, he didn't even hesitate to grab me up last summer when Will was on vacation with his family…"
"What? You didn't tell me you two hooked up!"
"Yeah, this past summer those times when Will left town for soccer and vacations…I would get really bored so I started calling Ethan. He seemed pretty eager and we ended up making out the first time we got together. He even let me go down on him by the end of the summer. And NO ONE needs to know about any of this, got it? If Will finds out, I'll have no shot at getting the royal crown and I definitely won't be the president of the Celibacy Club anymore."
"I—I won't, I promise."
As they pulled up into the Griffin driveway Terri had got a text from Ethan.
Kendra took one look at the big grin on her face and knew.
"Oh my god, you guys are still sexting?"
"Yeah, get out of the car. He wants to meet up now."
Kendra huffed in annoyance. Her sister was hardly ever home, and now she understood why. Something in her mind clicked and she turned around, facing Terri with a devious smile.
"You know... I bet Ethan would do anything to get back at Schuester and if he knew his little sister was talking to him well I'm sure the buffoon would jump at the chance to screw that up. Maybe he can provide us with some assistance, I think he'll do just about anything to get his spot back."
The two now shared similar smiles of deviance. They had a brilliant plan.
Terri drove to Hunterwood Park like she had almost every week since the school year began two months ago. Ethan was already parked waiting in his Ford Explorer. He flashed her a smile as she pulled up next to him.
"Hello beautiful, did you enjoy my sexts today?"
"I sure did, baby."
She opened the passenger door to get in when he stopped her.
"Nah, just climb in the back. That's where I'm headed anyway," and with a playful wink he walked to the other side and opened the backseat door for her.
"What a gentlemen you are, Ethan."
"Shit, more of a gentlemen than that tool Schuester I'm sure."
She climbed in the back and laughed at his vulgarity. Will hardly ever cussed and never around her, he was sweet but…she needed something more.
"Enough talk about him…" Terri demanded and he agreed taking her in his arms and pushing her down onto the seat as he moved on top of her.
They made out for the next fifteen minutes until Ethan grabbed the back of her bra strap. He'd already taken off her shirt as she had done to his too.
"Whoa—what are you doing?"
"It looks like I'm talking off your bra, is there a problem?"
"Well no, it's just…are we going to…?"
"—Have sex? Actually I'd love to show you how a real man can handle a girl like you but you're still with Schuester and frankly, it's starting to piss me off."
"Ethan, we've talked about this before…"
"Yeah, yeah you want to be the Winterball Queen, I've heard it before."
"And you'll keep hearing it until you quit bothering to ask me to break up with him."
"Well why couldn't you just go with me? What? You don't think I'm as popular as Mr. Golden Boy?"
Terri let out a deep sigh, she hated when he got insecure about the never ending battle with Will. Will was the more popular one, clearly more likeable, but Ethan had a wild side and she needed a little wild in her life. She knew she had to heal his ego.
"Don't be silly, you are clearly one of the most popular boys in school…otherwise, would I be doing this?"
And Terri used all her weight to flip him over so she was on top and sat up reaching for her bra straps. She unclipped the straps but held onto the bra not revealing anything yet.
"Now—if you promise to stop bugging about this Will thing then I'll let you take a look at what's underneath… you know the rules of this relationship. I'm staying with Will long enough to get that crown because we're the golden couple. Afterwards, we'll be together and he can go screw around with your dimwitted sister."
"Wait—what about Emmie?"
"Oh I didn't tell you?" he was playing right into her hands. "Yeah, apparently they've been hanging out quite a bit."
Terri was so pleased with how well things were going and she hadn't even had to take off her bra yet.
"What the hell is his vendetta! First my position on the field and now my little sister…what a prick."
"Well, you know, if we can split them up then that's good for the both of us…"
"Yeah, yeah, what—what are you thinking we should do?"
"Do you have anything on Emma? Any kind of dirt on her?"
"She does really hate germs a lot ever since—"
Terri rolled her eyes. For someone so good looking he was not very bright.
"—Hello dipshit, everyone knows that already."
"No, no, I know that. I'm saying she hates germs because of me. When we were little, our parents took us to some smelly dairy farm because Emmie begged them to take us and before we were about to leave she kept pestering me to take a picture of her with one of the cows so I pushed her into some cow shit. Ever since that day she's been afraid of germs and one other thing…"
Terri looked at him expectantly, "well what??" she snapped at him.
Ethan looked up with big eyes and rubbed his hands together.
"Not before you let me see more, you didn't think I was that dumb did you?"
"Well you have your moments.." she whispered under her breath.
"Let me see 'em…"
Terri reluctantly released her lacey black bra and Ethan pulled her down to him and began immediately sucking and licking. He moved his hands and grabbed her ass. She could feel his erection growing stronger again.
"Alright, alright. Tell me…what's the other thing?"
"Dairy. Emmie can't handle milk, yogurt, any of it. You give her a whiff of that stuff or spill anything diary-related on her and she'll just die. Now let's get back to what we came here for…"
Ethan reached for her panties underneath her cheerios skirt as Terri began forming a plan…
Later that night after Terri and Ethan had finished up, Terri had her plan all figured out and now she just needed backup.
Twenty minutes later, all the junior and senior Cheerios along with Kendra had pulled up to Yates Community Center where Ethan said Emma usually was at on Friday evenings.
Emma always came in on Fridays as part of a mentoring program. She would spend all afternoon and late into the evening hanging out with children who didn't have the best home lives. It gave Emma a sense of purpose and she knew when she was older she wanted to do a career that helped people.
It was already 7 o clock and Emma needed to get home or she knew her parents would start to worry about her. She waved goodbye to the kids, put on her purple pea coat, slid her beret back over her curls, and hastily grabbed for her Purell walking out the double doors. She didn't like to use the Purell around the kids because she didn't want them to be offended.
Emma knew what it was like to have someone think you were gross or weird and she never wanted any of them to feel that way because of her own problems.
As she got closer to her old Honda Civic, she found a group of Cheerios standing near it. Emma started to grow very uncomfortable.
"Uhh… hi—guys, what can—what can I do… for you?"
Terri stepped to the front of the group and flashed a fake grin.
"You know, just thought things have been a little weird with Will lately… would you know anything about that?"
Emma had started to sweat and her eyes were growing even wider than normal. She kept a safe distance from the Cheerios, not sure of what they were going to do to her now.
"I—I really don't know why he would be acting that way. May—maybe he's nervous about the show next weekend?"
They laughed together like a group of evil hyenas.
"Hmm.. you know I don't think that's it because he's been performing for years and he's never acted strange before. In fact, if I know my boyfriend…and believe me, I do…I'd say he thrives off of performing. He just loves to sing, dance, and you know, he even likes to act too."
"A—Act?"
"Yeah, like this thing…you know this thing where he goes and hangs out with you and pretends to actually care about you? That's all been a little show of his. He'll come over to my house and we'll just laugh about all the idiotic things you tell him."
Emma wasn't sure what to believe right now. She knew Will, well she thought did, but…was he really just using her? Maybe Terri was just making this all up. Either way, Emma was starting to lose her voice and she felt the tears brimming at her eyes.
"That—that's not true, Will is a good guy. He…he wouldn't do that to me."
"Oh really? Then where did I get this?"
Terri held up a pair of white lacey underwear and Emma's mouth dropped open as she mortified. It was all coming together now…
Emma had always carried around an entire set of extra clothes in her bag in case of any messy emergencies.
This was a secret that Emma kept close to the chest. She didn't want people to have more reasons to call her an outcast. Earlier that week, after a rehearsal practice was over, Will was leading her out of the basement when suddenly Emma slipped on a cord and went tumbling to the ground. Will tried to stop her but the momentum of her bags pulled him down on top of her.
They shared a laugh together after realizing they were both alright but neither moved to get up.
Will was looking into her big brown eyes and Emma was gazing back into his. She felt flushed at the weight of his body on top of hers and involuntarily licked her lips. At this movement, Will was quickly out of his daze and realized if he didn't get off of her soon, with the nearness of their bodies it was about to get very awkward for him.
He pushed himself off the ground and took Emma's hand pulling her up as well when she dropped her bookbag coming up and the contents spilled out.
"Oh god, I'm so sorry…"
Emma was apologizing for what both of their eyes had fell upon as she reached down to stuff it into her bag with a full facial blush now.
She had an extra pair of jeans, a black tank top, and a white lacey bra with a pair of matching panties laid out before them.
Will just stood with his mouth open for a moment. There was something so sexy about such a guarded person like Emma Pillsbury owning a pair of skimpy lacey underwear and he knew this image would not get out of his head now. He knew she was feeling terribly embarrassed though and tried to crack a joke to break the tension.
"Whoa there Em, you planning on staying somewhere fun tonight?"
It was a bad joke, but he didn't really know where else his brain could go right now.
She laughed nervously and stood up, finally facing him.
"Actually…well, I—I never, I mean, I haven't ever been with anyone…in fact, I've never been kissed."
Will just fell a little harder for this sweet, beautiful redhead looking at him with such embarrassment.
"You have no idea how—"
Oh god, he almost slipped and told her how beautiful she was…that wouldn't go well with his girlfriend.
"—No idea how what?"
"Um…how…well, how many people actually haven't kissed before. It's—it's actually quite common I hear."
She smiled at his attempt to make her feel better. He was so good to her…she thought.
"What…where did you get that? Those…"
"—are yours? I know. Will threw them at my face the other day and told me you've never even been kissed!"
Terri had actually retrieved a pair of panties from Ethan that he said Emma always had in her bookbag. As for the kiss, she was just hoping that she had gotten that part right. Emma was one of those book nerds, and Terri knew it would take more than a few words to get her to believe.
She knew she had guessed right when the tears started to fall down Emma's face. She had finally broke her.
Emma couldn't even speak…she couldn't think…why would he do this to her? She was so dumb for ever thinking he could even be friends with her. All those songs, all those moments, and secrets and goals they had shared over the past few days were just…lies.
Emma pushed past the Cheerios with tears heavily streaming down her face as she couldn't hold them back any longer. Before she got into her car she heard them calling over her shoulder…
"Stay away from her boyfriend, Emma. Don't humiliate yourself anymore than you already have!" yelled Kendra.
Terri had to put the nail in the coffin.
"Yeah sweetie, you're just a little nail and I'm the hammer. I will crush you. Just crawl back to the hole you came from."
With that last remark, Emma slammed her door and sped off to get as far away from them as possible.
