Hello Readers. I hope you are enjoying this fic so far. The first 2 chapters mainly give you a background to the characters and such. I hope to have the next chapter up soon since it is where the interesting stuff happens. Oh and the cover picture for the story has just been changed. To the right is Charlie and Jared is on the left.
Chapter 2: Forming the Group.
I spent the rest of class daydreaming about Charlie. Those Fabray twins are so pretty. The thing is, they are both pretty in their own ways. Charlie has this hipster thing going on and Quinn seems more like a prep. Even though they have two totally different looks, they are both stunning.
Before I knew it, the bell rang signaling the end of class. I gathered my stuff and hurried out of the classroom.
"Hey Jared! Wait up!" I heard Charlie shout. Oh god. Here comes the blush again. "Jared! I had no Idea you were taking a photography class."
"Yeah, me neither. Since I was registered so late, they threw me in a bunch of random electives. So what did you do to become the teacher's assistant?"
"I already passed all of the photography classes here. It's my second favorite thing in the word, photography, I mean. According to Ms. Carter, I'm the best photographer in the school so Ms. Carter spoke to the principal at the end of the last schoolyear and asked him to let me be the her Student aide for her beginning class. It counts as an elective and it's an easy A for me." I couldn't help but notice that even though she was rambling a bit, her voice was a bit quieter than her sister's. Quinn was more loud and forward while Charlie was more quiet and sweet.
"So you say it's your second favorite? What's your first?" I asked.
"Guitar."
"Really? You play guitar?"
"Yeah," she said with a smile.
"Me too! I have a black Les Paul Gibson and a Martin acoustic just chillin in my room."
"I just have a red Epiphone. I'm actually in a band but we just lost our lead singer. Can you sing? Maybe you could take her spot."
"Yeah I sing a bit."
"You should come check us out. There's a battle of the band's that we are signed up for that will take place in May. We kind of need a singer."
"Definitly. Here, let me give you my number and you can let me know when your band is meeting up." I pulled out a pen and wrote my phone number on her arm. We parted ways and went to the rest of our classes.
A few classes passed by and soon it was lunch time. I met Brittany, Santana, Rachel, Quinn and Charlie outside of the cafeteria. We sat down and began to eat as we chatted.
"So Jared," said Quinn, "I have to ask, if you are Brittany's cousin, how come you two look nothing alike? Brittany is blonde and pale with blue eyes and you are slightly tanned with dark hair and have dark hazel eyes. I would have thought you would have been related to Rachel or Santana."
"Well first off, I'm from Florida so I tanned a lot from living in the sunshine state. Also, I get my looks from my mom, who was from Cuba. Dark hair and tan like me."
"Was?" She questioned.
"Sorry?"
"You said your mother was from Cuba."
"I did?"
"Quinn." Santana said while giving Quinn a look.
"Ohhhh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize…" Quinn said.
"It's okay. It's in the past. Hakuna Matata." I shrugged.
"Ooh I love the lion king!" Brittany exclaimed.
"Me too!" Rachel chimed, "My daddies took me to see the musical on Broadway last summer!"
"There's a musical?" Brittany asked with confusion.
"Indeed. Many Disney movies are made into musicals."
"Like Beauty and the Beast?"
"Correct."
"The Little Mirmaid?"
"Although it is retired, yes."
"Anastasia?"
"That's not even a Disney movie!" said Rachel.
"It's not? I thought it was. What about that show my parents took me to when I was like 5? Toy Story on Ice?"
"Actually Brittany, those shows are figure skating adaptations of Disney movies. Although they may feature musical numbers, an actual Musical takes place on a stage."
"I'm so confused." Brittany sighed, leaning on to Santana's shoulder, who was sitting next to her.
"It's okay, Britt Britt. I'll explain everything later," Santana said right before kissing Brittany's cheek.
'You guys seem much closer than you were when I last saw you two," I commented.
"Yeah, Santana's my girlfriend," Brittany said it like it was nothing while Santana almost did a spit take.
"Britt. We discussed this. We don't go around telling people about our relationship unless we know they will be fine with it." Santana whispered.
"It's cool. I don't mind. Part of me knew you two were going to end up together someday."
"So you're cool with your cousin dating a chick?"
"Yeah. I'm bisexual actually so I'm pretty accepting of that kind of stuff." I explained.
"Ooh! You would be perfect for the glee club!" Rachel exclaimed.
"Rach, It's her first day here. Why don't you let her settle in before begging her to join the glee club?" said Charlie.
"Glee Club?" I asked.
"It's a show choir thing that we are all in. We sing, dance and there's competitions we go to." Rachel explained.
"I'll think about it," I told Rachel.
"You have to join. From what I remember, you have such an awesome voice. With you, Carmel High won't stand a chance."
"The thing is, Charlie wants me to try out to be in her band. I don't want to make two commitments and have them conflict with eachother," I explained.
"You'll be fine," Charlie told me, "I'm in the glee club too. It doesn't get in the way with my band's practice time."
"Well then, if you all insist, I'll try out."
Rachel squealed at my decision and pulled me into a hug. "Yay! We meet tomorrow, in the choir room after school. Prepare a song to audition with and you can perform tomorrow." I had just the song in mind.
Soon, lunch was over and we began to exit the cafeteria. Right before we went our separate ways, Brittany commented, "Oh my gosh you guys! I just realized, there is like 6 of us now. This is like the Unholy Trinity times two!"
"Unholy Trinity?" I questioned.
"Britt, Quinn and I used to call ourselves 'The Unholy Trinity' back in 9th grade. It was like our version of the three musketeers. The next year, Charlie decided to transfer to Mckinley. She had been going to this magnet school but she didn't like it." Santana explained.
"The school was filled with stuck up nerds. Everyone had to one up each other with intelligence. I'd rather be here than dealing with that school." Charlie told me.
"So yeah, when Charlie transferred here, she became part of our group and we kind of ditched the name 'Unholy Trinity'. With you and Rachel hanging out with us, That turns our group of 4 into 6."
"So I'm in your group?" Rachel asked excitedly.
"I thought that was a given," Said Quinn.
"Berry, you are making this sound like a middle school clique. We aren't going to huddle and discuss if you can sit with us at the cool table or not. You hang out with us enough so it's not like we are going to reject you or anything." Santana explained.
"Ooh we could be the 'Awesome 6-some!" Brittany cheered.
"How about we forget about naming us. When we were the unholy trinity, I felt like we were in the movie Mean Girls." Said Quinn.
"I agree with Quinnalah here" Said Santana.
"What is it with you and adding something to the end of my name. Last week you were calling me Quinnifer and before that it was Quinncy."
"I just love bugging ya, Q" Santana chuckled right before we went our separate ways to our classes.
