Mercedes: POV

It's been three weeks since school started and I realized something that I think I always knew; I love school! It's so different than high school! I mean State might not be Pepperdine but there were definite upsides of going to college.

Lucy and I were making friends on campus and Marcy introduced us to a few people she met her first go round up there and it was really amazing. People were so different than high schoolers. They were so chill (well most) and just wanted to have a good time.

Marcy, Lucy and I are taking a philosophy course and the conversations we have are insane. Right now we're just rambling but our professor just lets us talk, guiding the conversation back to the point when it veers too far off and brings up other view points when we get stuck.

He and our Great American Writers professor are just like my freshman English teacher at McKinley. Passionate about their subject and actually know what the hell they're talking about.

Our GAW professor even looked like him. A young guy who wore collared shirts and waistcoats with jeans and the best yet; jordans!

School has been so awesome that I almost told Finn and Artie no when they asked me to come back to help with the school play. Mr. Shue left to do something artistic (Finn told us what it was but I wasn't really listening) and put Finn and Artie in charge of the play and Finn in charge of glee club.

I was happy for them all but I wanted to focus on my new life. But Artie buttered me up and I fell for it. The good thing is I get to see those guys again and sneak to make out with Annie when we have time.

The best part is Mikey's coming back to show them how to dance. He was home last weekend but he spent most of his time with T. He promised he'd pay attention to me and Lucy while he's here.

Oh! Kurt landed his dream job at Vogue! It's an unpaid internship but it's a foot in the door. So happy for him! And he and his boss helped Rachel with her style. He bullied her into changing, citing that she was an adult now and had to keep her man and woman happy.

And I didn't even get to the very best news I have to share; I haven't thrown up in three days!

If morning sickness is on its way out, I'm so ecstatic!

Puck: POV

I never thought I would say this in a million years but school fucking rocks! I didn't think I would get into it like I did but I liked going to classes and finding people to hang out with.

Finn and I mainly hung around with the music kids but we joined a few clubs that hosted these parties that got wild as hell. My math class was pretty boring but at least I understood it and didn't have to worry about feeling stupid.

But that Psyche class was on a different planet. Our professor was this stuffy old dude that kept cracking jokes we didn't get until we went over the reading.

He'd tell a joke and just leave it alone until we came back to class the next session and tell him we understood. Then he'd ask us to point it out in the book, snickering like a little kid the whole time.

I'm saying, he's dumb as hell but I like him. Finn was especially his favorite cuz he'd be just as excited to tell him about what he'd read.

Speaking of Finn, he is busy as hell with glee club. Mr. Shue dipped on them to go do some shit (I wasn't paying attention when Finn told me) and left him in charge. He was geeked that Mr. Shue trusted him to run the club and was worried about letting him down.

I told him not to worry but his girly ass didn't listen to me. We're just lucky the play went off without a hitch. Well almost. That Unique kid couldn't play Rizzo so Satan came down to and Mama was heated on her behalf.

I tune that high school bullshit out cuz I don't care about none of that anymore. Too bad I had to hear about some stuff cuz Jake was having problems with a girl. He liked one and another kid did, too.

Since I was a changed man, I told him to put them on an even footing before going in for the kill. I'm still Puckzilla…

Anyway, Moms is happy that I'm into school and Nic keeps talking about the fourth grade and Jake. She met him once and was so excited that she just ran around him before talking his ear off about nothing.

He looked so confused until she ran outta steam and we had to go.

We talk on the phone sometimes but about the past. He's got questions and I got answers. I don't like talking about Steve but he needs to know how much of a shithead his old man is.

But overall, things have been great.

Anna: POV

"Thanks for studying with me." I said.

Marcy shrugged. "No problem."

"It's our pleasure." Tina smiled.

"We're happy to help." Ellen added.

We were at the library, studying. I have nothing against Mal, Artie and Blaine or Sugar and Joe or the new kids in glee but Marcy, Tina and Ellen were my age and girls. I wanted to bond with them. "How is everyone doing in their classes so far?" I asked.

Tina groaned. "I have a government class! Mike has to help me over the phone every night!"

"I have a life study class that I'm really unnerved about." Ellen admitted. "I have to take care of a plastic doll the entire year with another student."

"My classes are so boring." I said. "I have to stay in school all day and not even get to see my boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Worst part!" Tina threw up her hands.

We looked at Marcy, who was reading a thick book. "Well?"

"Well what?" She flipped a page.

"How are classes for you?" Tina wanted to know. "Especially since you're in college mostly."

"Why am I here?"

Ellen pinched her. "Would you stop?!"

Marcy grunted.

"Aren't we friends?" Tina widened her eyes.

"I'm not Mikey. Pouting doesn't work on me."

"Pouting works on Mike?"

I poked her.

"Ooh! I mean, Marcy, be nice!"

"Do I look nice?" Marcy flipped another page.

"Except for that scowl you always wear, yes." I said.

She scowled.

"You wouldn't be like this if Artie was here." Ellen sulked.

"He's fun."

"We're fun!" Tina piped up.

"You're three goody-two-shoes."

"Not everyone can be as bad as you." Ellen sniffed.

"I don't need as bad. I need fun."

"We are fun!" Tina was offended as she stood up. "Let's-! Let's pull the books from the shelves and build a bookfort!"

"That's messy and rude to the librarians, who put all those books on the shelves." Marcy turned another page in her book.

Tina pouted.

"Suck that lip back in, future sister-in-law."

Tina brightened. "You really think I'll be your sister-in-law one day?"

"Sho nuff."

"Aww!" Tina giggled and hugged Marcy.

Who scowled anew. "I didn't say touch me!"

"That was hug worthy!"

"Get off me."

Tina let her go. "Will you help me with my math?"

"Don't hug me no more and you got a deal."

Tina clapped. "Thank you! Now I'm so confused about this! I feel like I'm reading a book with all these letters!"
