A/N: Here is chapter five! I hope you all like it. Please read and review. I would love to hear what everyone thought of it.
Will slowly opened the door with Rachel following closely behind. They were both nervous but tried not to let it show through. He tried to think of a plan that he could use but nothing came to his mind. He knew that if Principal Figgins had any actual evidence then he and Rachel would be over. Principal Figgins looked up from his stack of papers and greeted them.
"Mr. Schuester, Ms. Berry. Good afternoon. Please take a seat," he said while shaking Will's hand.
"Good afternoon Principal Figgins," they said together as they sat down.
"William, it has come to my attention that there has been talk about you and Ms. Berry here gallivanting around the school."
"It's not true," Will immediately said obviously lying. However by the look on Principal Figgins face he did not completely agree with the statement.
"This is a very serious matter Will. I can't have gossip about teachers having affairs with students! It would ruin the school's reputation!"
"Principal Figgins, if I may?" Rachel said while cutting him off. "I had been having trouble with my Spanish homework for a long time but never did anything about it till today. I went to get help and he helped me," she said.
"Right. Well according to the paper that Sue has started again it seems to be telling me otherwise. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this so I can put this rumor aside. Now I'm going to bring Sue in to help."
"Sue?" Will said almost shouting with Rachel looking worried. "Why bring her in?"
"Because William, she started the paper, she must know the truth behind this rumor."
"So you are saying that you don't believe us?" Will asked. He knew that if Sue was brought in there would be no chance of Figgins believing them. Sue hated him and this was her chance to get him fired.
"I'm not sure, but with Sue here she might help me make up my mind," he said.
In no more than ten minutes Sue walked into the office with an evil grin spread across her face. Will couldn't help but notice that she had something hidden in her pocket of her track pants. This only made him more nervous.
"Thank you for stopping by Sue. Now, I would like for you to help us with the current situation between William and Rachel because I know that you run the paper," he said to her.
"Well actually Principal Figgins, even though I publish the paper, that doesn't mean that everything that is put in there is true," she said.
Will and Rachel both looked up a bit surprised. Was Sue actually helping them?
"But, I can't say that about this situation though," she said while turning over and grinning over at Will and Rachel, there surprised look vanishing.
"In my pocket here I hold a tape recorder. One that I put in Will's class room to monitor him in case he is slacking on his job. I leave it recording all the time and just picked it up on the way over here," Sue said.
"Wait, you have my room bugged?" Will asked with a confused look on his face.
"Yeah buddy weren't you listening? Anyways, Rachel over here was in his classroom today and I'm sure this picked up their lovely conversation."
"Principal Figgins isn't there some kind of policy that says something about other teachers putting monitors in rooms?" Will asked trying to stall time.
"Not now William. Please play the tape," he said to Sue.
"Gladly," she said while pushing the play button.
The room was dead silent as the tape started to play. Will looked over to Rachel to see that she was very close to crying. He wanted to comfort her but knew that he couldn't so he just sat there hanging his head while running a hand through his hair.
Just as the tape was about to get to the part where Rachel and Will were going to confess their love to each other the sound started crackling and then the tape stopped.
Will looked up with a relieved look on his face and noticed that the tears were gone from Rachel's eyes. Sue's evil grin on the other hand turned to a frown then to anger as she tried everything to get the tape going again.
"Well William, Rachel, it looks like you to are off the hook this time. However, if I hear anything more about the both of you it is back to my office with a full interrogation. Is that clear?" Prinicpal Figgins said.
"Yes sir. Thank you," Will said sticking his hand out.
"Thank you Principal Figgins," Rachel said as well.
"Very well. You may all go."
Will, Rachel and Sue all stood up to leave. Once they were out of the office and back into the hallway, Sue turned to say one last thing to the both of them.
"This isn't over. I know there is something going on here and I'm not going to rest till I find out what it is."
With that Sue turned the corner and left, leaving Will and Rachel to stand alone in the hallway beginning to realize what they just went through and what was in store for them.
