AN: Enjoy another chapter of Talented Shame!
I couldn't describe the feeling yesterday of my Spanish class. It was days like that that made me just love life. "So, what happened?" Sam asked me.
"Our teacher played some music and I was dancing. He kept smiling." I replied back with a smile.
"That could mean that he was having fun too. Don't get yourself caught up in it." Sam had replied back in a sarcastic tone. I closed my locker and we were heading to lunch. Sam and I were walking down the hall and Mr. Schue passed us.
"Oh, Iris! You were just the student I was looking for!" He said as he turned towards me. Sam just kept walking. "I wanted to know if you do anything after school like sports or other clubs."
Where was he going with this? "Uh… no, I don't. I usually just go home after school. Why? What's up?"
"I need you to go to the Choir Room after school. Our practice-" Practice? What for? What was he talking about?
"Practice? For what?" I asked with a confused look on my face.
"Glee club. I thought you might be interested. Of course, you're going to have to sing in front of the club, but-"I again interrupted him again.
"Sing?" I have to sing in front of people? I haven't done that in at least a couple years!" I knew that being close to a teacher would be bad.
"I know you haven't Iris, but, this will help you. Maybe you'll get some new friends out of it." What was that supposed to mean? It seemed like I couldn't get out of this. I sighed.
"I'll be there." Mr. Schue seemed glad that I would be there. Would everyone want me there? Who else was in Glee club? Oh, God. I was so nervous. I walked out to the cafeteria and sat down with Sam.
"What was that about?" She asked as I sat down. I pulled out my lunch before replying back.
"He wants me to join Glee club." I looked to see her reaction.
"Well? Are you doing it?" She asked. I couldn't really tell if she wanted me to do this or not.
"I said that I'll go to one meeting. If I like it, I'll keep with it. If I don't, then I'll quit." That wasn't true. I've always wanted to join the Glee Club. I just never had the courage to sign up.
"Sounds reasonable. Honestly, you need something to get out of that house of yours. Something other than me." Sam gave a chuckle. I laughed too.
"Oh, puh-lease!" I couldn't think of anything else to shoot back at her. Maybe I was tired. Perhaps it was because I wasn't on my game.
I think it was because she was right.
