"And I'm just saying, Lola, if we babysat the Johnson's and the Reynolds' kids next weekend, it would be much more profitable," Jenny told her best friend as they walked down the hallway Monday morning. While Lola Sanders was more of a carefree, laid back type of girl, Jenny Rodgers was very high strung and not as likely to be doing something that she didn't schedule at least a week ahead of time.

"Jen, don't you have some sort of Cheerios thing to do this weekend anyways? Gigi is throwing a party, isn't she?" Lola asked her, smirking a bit. "Wouldn't it be fun if, wait for it...we actually went to a party and didn't look like dorks?" she joked with the young Cheerio, who had been appointed to the squad the week before after trying out in the summer. She was one of the youngest on the squad, and while she didn't want to mess up her newfound social standing, she didn't want to party either.

"How are we going to look like dorks if it's only been one week of school? No one even knows us," Jenny reasoned, but this only fueled Lola's argument more.

"Exactly! How is anyone ever going to know us if we don't get out there and make ourselves known?" Lola asked, and she did have a point. She grinned when she could see Jenny start melting into her idea.

"Fine, we can go to her party, but only if we babysit both families. I'm not about to ask my mom for money for an Uber," Jenny said, fixing her high pony as she walked to her locker. She was still getting used to wearing her Cheerio's uniform, and wasn't sure if she liked the power she gained when she wore it. She twisted the lock into the proper combination, then opened it up to grab her books. "I just don't know if it's a good idea for us to be going to a party like this when school just started. I mean, what if something happens and we can't get home quickly. I doubt Max would approve of me going to a party like this, and would your mother either? I think-" she was cut off in her ramblings by Lola clamping her hand over her mouth.

"You know that talking about her is off limits, Jenny, especially at school," Lola said, her brown eyes going wide in shock. Her mother was an alcoholic who hardly noticed what she was doing, sober or not.

Jenny instantly felt awful, and she closed her locker so that she could turn to face Lola better. "I'm sorry, it just slipped out. It won't happen again," she promised her best friend, holding up her pinky to her. "I'll even pinky swear it," she joked lightly, which got a small smile out of Lola.

"You know I'm a sucker for a pinky swear," she said with a giggle, linking her finger with her best friend, and the two girls laughed a bit before starting down the hallway to their first class of the day. As they walked, they past the cork bulletin board that held all of the club sign up sheets, which instantly interested Jenny.

"You should join Glee, Lols. Not many people have signed up yet, but..." Jenny's eyes widened when she saw the two names on the list so far. Lily Carter and Hugh Sanford. "Oh you've got to sign up now, Lola! Two of the most popular people in school have. Isn't that what you wanted, to be noticed?" she teased her friend, who huffed indignantly.

"Fine," Lola said, jotting her name down on the next free line. She then smirked mischievously, and wrote Jenny's name down as well. "Now you've got to do it, too," she told her friend, feigning innocence as Jenny stammered out excuses as to why she couldn't. "Oh no no no, Jen. We're in this together," Lola decided, before turning on her heel, leaving her best friend standing in shock.


"Mr. Kolton, I'm sure you know why you're here," Principal Sue Sylvester spoke, sitting behind her desk in a casual manner, which almost reminded Dean Kolton of a cartoon villain addressing their newest captive. Truth be told, he had a pretty good idea of why he was in her office; it wasn't like he was a stranger to it. He had no clue, however, as to why Mr. Evans was in the room as well.

"Yeah, but why is he here?" Dean asked with furrowed eyebrows, glancing over at the older man, who just gave Dean a warm smile. It didn't make sense to him as to why Mr. Evans would have been in the room with them. He didn't take his class and he wasn't on the Football team, so what could it be?

"Well, Mr. Kolton, to be quite frank with you, I've had enough of you. This is the third time since you've been at McKinley that you've been caught selling contraband to other students, your grades are garbage, and nothing we seem to do to help you works," Sue told the trouble maker seated in front of her bluntly, not faltering when both Mr. Evans and Dean opened their mouth to interject. "That's why I'm deciding that you must join Evans' Island of Misfit Girls and Boys," she finished with a smirk.

"No way. I'm not joining the Glee Club. No offense Mr. Evans, but I don't really have it in me to ooh and ahh on stage wearing a spandex suit," Dean said, crossing his arms over his chest with a scowl.

"Let me rephrase that for you, Kolton. You join the Glee Club, or I expel you," Sue told the young man, who paused in his tirade when told this. "So you can get chummy with Evans over there, or you can get chummy with the parole officer I'm sure you'll have in the next three to five years," she snapped at him, which finally got Will talking.

"That's enough, Sue," Mr. Evans said, before rolling his eyes a bit towards Dean in a comical way. "Glee Club is accepting members and we'd love to have you. It'll be a good way to meet new people, and it'll maybe keep you out of trouble," he said optimistically. "When I was in High School, I struggled a bit too, but Glee really helped me get through it," he added, smiling faintly.

"What, did you get a bad grade on a Chemistry test and your parents got angry at you?" Dean asked with a scoff, which made Sam let out a bitter chuckle.

"No, actually. We were homeless for a whole, living out of a motel, so I took up stripping to make some extra money for our family," he told the younger man, which definitely caught him off guard. "Just give Glee a chance to help you out, Dean. You won't regret it," he said, smiling brightly when the trouble maker finally nodded.


Yay! Part 2 of Episode 1 is complete. I know I'm moving a bit fast, but I really want to introduce everyone before I get the ball really rolling.
