"Do you think we'll have any new members this year?" Kurt whispered to his best friend.
"I don't know" Quinn said "You know people at this school; glee club isn't exactly the most popular group"
"Yeah, but you never know." Kurt said with a shrug.
"Okay guys, sorry I'm late, but I have good news" Mr. Schuster said as he walked into the choir room. "We have two new members who will be joining our club as of today."
"Wow." Quinn whispered over to Kurt. "You called it."
"Never doubt my sixth sense Fabray." Kurt said with a smile.
"Everyone, please give a warm glee club welcome to Finn Hudson, and Rachel Berry." Mr. Schuster said as the head cheerleader and the quarterback walked into the choir room and stood next to their teacher. Quinn and Kurt just looked wide eyed at the two as the rest of the club clapped for them.
"So guys, as a rite of passage, before any new member is officially recruited into the club they have to sing a song." The Spanish teacher explained to the new members. Rachel nodded while Finn just looked dumbfounded. "So, do you have anything you know off the top of your head?"
"I do." Rachel said with a smile. Mr. Schuster nodded at her and she went to tell Brad, the piano player, what song she wanted to sing. He nodded at her so she told the band as well, she stood in the middle of the choir room with Finn and Mr. Schue sitting in the front row as the music began.
Don't tell me not to live,
Just sit and putter,
Life's candy and the sun's
A ball of butter.
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade!
The whole glee club watched as the small girl belted out each note perfectly. Quinn and Kurt just watched, gob smacked, having no idea the head cheerleader had such a big voice. They just watched, taking in every note that she threw at them. Quinn became mesmerized with every word the brunette sang out. Her curiosity of whether or not the petite girl can sing turned into awe, she couldn't help but smile as tears began to sting her eyes. The girl's voice was so beautiful it hurt.
After a few minutes, the cheerleader belted out the very last note as the music stopped. As she finished, the entire glee club, Quinn and Kurt included, stood up in uproarious applause. The brown eyed girl smiled and took her seat next to Finn.
"Okay, Finn, do you have a song in mind?" Mr. Schue asked.
"Uhh, yeah, I have something." He said, going up to the band and telling them the song, as well as Brad. The music quickly started playing and Finn voice took over the room.
She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At any time an invitation
You can't decline
The tall boy sang his song as the rest of the glee club clapped along, enjoying the famous Queen song. Eventually his song ended and the glee club clapped, though not as loudly as they did for Rachel. Finn sat down next to the head cheerleader and Mr. Schuster stood up again.
"Okay, now for this week's assignment I want you to do a duet with a partner who I will choose for you, and you have to sing about…" He said, walking up to the board, marker in hand. He wrote out the letters slowly
'Hate'
"Mr. Schue why are you having us sing about hate?" Tina asked.
"Good question Tina." Mr Schuster said. "Hate is just as strong as love, we sing about love so many times, yet we never take the time to sing about what we hate. Also, I've noticed rivalries taking place in school."
"So what exactly is the point of this assignment?" Kurt asked.
"The point of it is to air out your anger, so that you can focus on the good." Mr. Schuster explained. "I will be picking out your partners for the sole reason that I know whose voices match whose, also seeing as we have new members I would like to invoke some mingling so that we can truly be a team."
The Spanish teacher started calling out the names of the duos. Being a small group of now fourteen people, it didn't take long for Quinn's name to be called out.
"Quinn, you will be singing with one of our new members, Rachel." He said to the blonde whilst giving a nod to the brunette.
"You've got to be kidding me." Both Quinn and Rachel muttered under their breaths, though no one heard them and they didn't hear each other. Eventually the glee session ended and everyone left the choir room. While Quinn was packing up her stuff Rachel walked up to her.
"Hello again." She said.
"Hey." Quinn said, slightly confused as to why the head cheerleader was speaking to her so…nicely.
"So, I was thinking, since the universe is clearly hell bent on us working together, we could at least see how it turns out." Rachel said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"What are you saying?" Quinn asked.
"Look, we clearly are not the best of friends, I barely even know you-" Rachel said.
"And yet you torment me every chance you get." Quinn said, standing up and looking down at the shorter girl.
"Right." Rachel said, feeling slightly intimidated at the height difference, without Brittney and Santana around, Rachel barely stood much of a chance against the taller girl. "So let's sing about how we don't like each other, or the situation we've been put into."
"Do you have a song in mind?" Quinn asked.
"As a matter of fact I do." Rachel said. "We can sing 'what is this feeling' from my all-time favorite musical, Wicked."
"I'm familiar." Quinn said with a nod.
"I think I should sing the part of Elphaba, since clearly I'm as good as Idina Menzel." Rachel stated matter of factly.
"Not exactly why I think you should be Elphaba, but go on." Quinn said with a self-satisfied smirk.
"So, look up the lyrics, learn your part, and how about we meet here tomorrow at lunch to practice?" Rachel asked.
"Sounds like a plan." Quinn nodded.
"In that case I'll see you tomorrow." Rachel said, turning on her heel and walking out of the choir room. Quinn packed the last of her things and walked out as well. Both girls arrived home a short while later and practiced their song.
