Sam walked up to Christopher at his locker, just down the hall from where he got shoved yesterday.
"Hey," Sam said to the new boy, "how was your first day?"
"Amazing, thanks to you," Christopher replied with a smile.
"No problem," Sam said, half blushing, "I'm just glad you had a good day. I remember how bad being the new kid can be. Some days it's hell. I'm glad yesterday wasn't one of those days for you."
"Yeah, well it doesn't matter now. I have you, and the rest of the Glee Club, to back me up. That's enough for me," he replied with another smile. Sam couldn't help thinking how he liked seeing Christopher smile, but he just pushed the thought aside.
"Yeah, you can count on me at least. I'm not so sure about the others. People like Quinn and Santana aren't exactly… reliable. Some of us are, though," he said with a reassuring smile.
"Well, I know I can always count on you," Christopher said as he walked off to class, smiling. Sam couldn't help but feel like he had just been flirted with by a cute girl. It was Christopher though. His friend Christopher. His male friend Christopher.
He couldn't be thinking about Christopher that way. It's not that he has any problem with gay guys, he even almost sang a duet with one once, but, I mean, he's not gay… or is he? No, of course not. He dated Quinn, Santana, and Mercedes, and he liked them. But… what if he likes Christopher?
RING! Crap! That was the bell! Sam hurried off to class, still confused about his feelings for Christopher.
Sam and Christopher talked and hung out many times over the next few days, and, before they knew it, they were best friends. The following week, they walked into Glee Club for another meeting.
"Hey guys, so today I have a surprise for you. Remember how I said we need some new vocals if we're going to win Nationals this year? Well, there's somebody I'd like you guys to meet…," Mr. Schue announced as a short, pale, red haired girl walked into the room.
"Hi everybody, my name is Brooklyn Anderson. You can call me Brooke," she began, "I'm here because I'd really like to join your Glee Club." She opens her mouth to continue, but then she spots Kurt. "OMG YOU'RE KURT HUMMEL!" she exclaims, running over to hug him.
"Ummm… hi?" Kurt said, feeling extremely awkward because some random girl he doesn't even know is hugging him.
"Omg, I'm so sorry," she said apologetically, "I just have heard you sing before and I love your voice. I think you're amazing!"
"Oh, why thank you Brooke," Kurt replied with a smidge of pride in his voice.
"You're very welcome Kurt! Do you mind if I sit by you?" she asked in a hopeful tone.
"Why of course you may," Kurt answered with a smile, "but don't you need to audition first?"
"Actually Kurt, she all ready sang me 'Defying Gravity' just before she came here, and she's really good. I all ready told her we'd be more than happy to have her," Mr. Schue announced.
"Well then, could she sing it for us? I think we'd all benefit from hearing the voice of our newest member. After all, Christopher sang for us," Kurt suggested.
"Of course I will Kurt! I'd do anything for you! Um, sorry… I mean, I'd love to sing for you all," Brooke responded, beaming. "Defying Gravity" begins playing and she sings it all the way through for everybody. They all sing and dance along, and a huge cheer rings out afterwards.
"Wow, that was simply amazing Brooke!" Kurt exclaimed with a hint of admiration, "I'm glad we have someone like you on our team."
"Thank you Kurt!" Brooke replied, trying to hide the fact that she's hugely blushing.
"Okay, okay. Now that we've got two new, amazing members added to our club, I know for a fact we're gonna win Nationals this year! First, we have to get past both Sectionals and Regionals, so we better get to work!" Mr. Schue declared.
After Glee club finishes and Kurt leaves, Brooke spots Sam and Christopher. She quickly walks over to them.
"Christopher? Christopher Jones? Is that you?" Brooke inquires excitedly.
"Brooke! Hey!" he replied as the two gave each other a big hug.
"You two… know each other?" Sam asked bewilderedly.
"Of course we do!" Christopher exclaimed, "she was my BEST friend at my old school back in Mississippi. I just didn't say anything in Glee Club because I wasn't sure if it really was her! Brooke, what are you doing here?"
"My dad got a job offer up here too! We live just a few blocks away from you now. I was so excited, I just had to surprise you when I came here to McKinley. I heard you were in the Glee Club, so I decided to try out for it too. That, and I love singing. Oh, and because I heard Kurt was in it too!" she replied, talking so fast he could barely understand her.
"This is so awesome! Come on, let's go catch up at Breadsticks!" he said excitedly. The two quickly walked off talking and left Sam standing at his locker.
"Bye?" Sam mumbles to himself as he puts his books away.
