Heres the second chapter of my story :D x
I do not own glee...
Nine o'clock Monday morning Finn Hudson walked through the halls of McKinley high school; it had not changed one bit. The lockers were the same gory orangey-green they had been when he was a student here. The teachers classrooms he walked past looked in exactly the same condition they had looked, many of the doors bearing the same teachers name. Not much had changed about the facilities. Yet he felt wrong walking through the crowd of students, out of place even. He didn't know a single face, no one looked at him. It was so different from his early days at this school when he couldn't walk down the hall without being greeted by some desperate Cheerio or envious football player. Or his later years at McKinley where every time he walked down the hall he would be ridiculed and quite often have a delicious ice cold slushie thrown in his face.
Finn could not remember the way to Principal Figgins office. He had been sent there numerous times during his time at the school, yet his memory failed him. After searching round the school for about five minutes and still not being able to find it, he decided to ask a student before the bell for first period went. He went about his decision of picking which student to ask carefully, he could not ask some cocky football player as he knew the reply the boy would give him would either send him of in the wrong direction as some hilarious joke or he would be picked on. Finally he decided upon a petite girl with long blonde hair, collecting her books from her locker, she looked perfectly nice.
"Excuse me, please could you tell me where Principal Figgins office is?" Finn asked, trying to be as nice as possible. He needed to be nice to students if he was going to get the job.
"Principal Figgins? I don't know who you mean sir, do you mean Principal Schuester, his office is just down that corridor, third door on the left." The young girl replied giving him one of the brightest smiles he'd seen in a while.
"Ohh thank you very much." Finn said politely.
"No problem, now if you excuse me I've got to go." The young girl urgently said, looking down the corridor at three broad boys walking towards her, each wearing the red and cream McKinley letterman jacket, and each holding a massive cup of slushie.
"Looks like things haven't changed much" Finn thought to himself, when he turned around to thank the girl again she had disappeared round the corner. The three football players rushed past him, trying to chase after their target. Finn thought about trying to stop them, especially since that young girl had just been so nice to him, but what could he do, he had no authority over them... yet. He made a mental note of their faces and would make sure he gave them a hard time in practice if he got the job. Finn carried in walking in the direction of Mr Schue's office, he eventually found it and entered the secretarial area.
"Please could I see Mr, I mean 'Principal' Schuester please?" Finn asked the old lady at the desk, with pictures of cats on her desk.
"Sure, let me just see if he's free, he doesn't have any appointments booked." The woman replied, she got up and knocked on his office door.
"Excuse me, Principal Schuester, there's someone here to see you, are you free?" she asked.
"Julie how many time do I have to tell you, call me Will! And yes please, send them in." Finn heard Mr Schue call from inside the office.
"He will see you know" Julie told Finn. Slowly Finn walked over to Mr Schue's office and peered inside. Glee club trophies were stacked on shelves, displaying all of New Directions achievements, some from whilst Finn was in the club and others he did not recognise, he guessed they were from after he left. His desk was decorated with neat piles of paperwork and stationary. All the brass birds that Principal Figgins had one decorated the room with where all gone; much to Finns relief. Mr Schue had made it more modern and added his own touch.
"Ohh my god, Finn, what are you doing here?" Mr Schue asked shocked to see Finn Hudson standing in his doorway.
"Well actually Mr Schue. I mean Principal Schuester, man I'll never be able to get used to that; I've come to talk to you about the football coach opening. I heard Shannon Beiste recently retired."
"Finn you have not changed a bit, sit down, tell me how things are, are you still friends with everyone from the club, and are you still seeing Rachel?" Mr Schue asked eager to hear how his old club were getting along.
"Well obviously you know how Puck is, you see him every day. We stayed friends after school, in fact we share an apartment; he was the one that told me about this job. Kurt runs his own fashion line and he now lives with Blaine, they are very happy together. Quinn, Santana and Brittany all went to the same university and we keep in touch occasionally. Kurt tells me Mercedes runs her own school for aspiring singers." Finn explained.
"That's great I always knew they would achieve great things. And imagine that, Brittany and university never thought I'd hear that." Mr Schue joked. "What about the others?"
"Well, I'm sure you heard Sam went on to play football for Minnesota, and he is the quarterback for that team. I don't really hear much from Tina and Mike, because they moved to live closer to both their families. Me and Artie are still in touch, were quite good friends actually, he runs a centre that helps disabled kids realise their dreams, I think he got his inspiration from you actually." Finn said.
"That's very nice of you Finn; I'm touched to hear that. They all seem to be doing exceptionally well. What about Rachel you never mentioned her, I thought she would have been first on your list to mention?" said Mr Schue, seeming to know something Finn didn't.
"Ohh well, I don't know really. She went to NYU after school to follow her dreams but I never heard from her much after that. I don't know where she is. If it's ok with you Mr Schue I'd rather not talk about Rachel." Finn confessed glumly.
"That's fine, I understand. Well I'll see you tomorrow then at nine." Mr Schue said happily.
"Wait why, are you not free now, your secretary said you were free." Finn asked confused.
"Of course I'm free," Mr Schue said, beaming at him.
"Ohh I understand, I'm just under qualified for the job, I'll see you again sometime sir!" Finn said heartbroken.
"No Finn, you do not understand, there's no need for an interview, Puck came into my office this morning demanding that I give you the job. I told him no need to worry; there is no one I'd rather have to coach my football team to victory than you. You defiantly have amazing leadership skills, and you're an amazing player." Will told Finn.
"Wait, so I've got the job!" Finn asked.
"Yes Finn. I'll see you tomorrow, I already have your schedule for each week printed out and I expect you to lead us to victory" Mr Schue passed a stack of papers over the desk to Finn and gave him a small smile.
"Thank you sir, thank you, I won't let you down" Finn exclaimed. Will got up to shake Finns hand but Finn full on hugged him over the desk.
Finn walked through the halls with a different attitude than he did half an hour ago. He held his head high and smiled as he walked down the empty corridors. All the students were in class. His students. He was a teacher! As he walked out to the parking lot to drive home and prepare a practice for tomorrow, as he passed a music lesson, someone played the notes to 'Defying Gravity' on a piano. Fin didn't realise he was so happy, he almost ran out of the school.
"Yes!" He shouted, as soon as he was within the safety of his car. Finn Hudson had done it, he'd got a job, and he was defiantly going to keep this one. Nothing could get in the way.
So that's the end of chapter two, hope you like it, i know nothing much has happened yet, but bare with me guys Rachel is making an appearance next chapter, and then the fourth one is all hers :D x
