It was just another day at McKinley. It was 3:30 pm and what a catch- the glee club was rehearsing. Mr. Schue was late.
"This sucks" Buffy groaned
"Hey, you signed up for it" Charlie told her
Mr. Schue arrived.
"Hey guys" he chirped.
"Hi Mr Schue" the class groaned simultaneously
"This week's assignment... is ENRIQUE!"
"Who?" Will asked
"Enrique Iglesias, Spanish pop star"
"Oh"
Charlie screamed with happiness. Enrique was her hero. She listened to his music every day. Not just that, she had a HUGE crush on him. Well, she pretended she had a huge crush on him. She was hiding the fact that she was a lesbian.
"I'd like to start" Charlie chirped. She sung Enrique's Escape, which previous New Directions member, Quinn Fabray had sung for the 2012 Regional championships.
"Well, Charlie has the right idea. Let's all see if you do"
Charlie smiled. Everybody else sighed. Enrique was the theme of the week and they couldn't change it.
"Priya. I have something to say" Charlie told her best friend
"You're pregnant?"
"Gosh no. I'm a lesbian"
"Oh."
"I'm in love with you. I can't change my feelings and I don't want to"
"Well..."
"Please say you love me back"
"Sorry. I can't. My dad doesn't like you very much and if he found out that you love me- he'd be horrified"
"Well.."
"Look. When I get out of college, we can date. But until then, I'm sorry, I can't speak to you"
"Don't be afraid"
"And I'm not. It's just that I don't love you."
"Just say it: you're dating someone"
"I'm dating Liam."
Charlie sighed. Priya walked away. Charlie never got dumped, especially not by the "love of her life".
Sam was home at the motel he was living in.
He saw something he did not want to see. His mother cheating on his dad with Bryan Ryan, old foe of New Directions.
"Mom"
"Sorry Sammy. Bryan and I... Bryan's just a.."
"I can see that. I can't help but picture dad's reaction"
"I'm sorry Sam"
Sam got out of the room. His dad was still working at Burt Hummel's tyre shop.
"Where's mom?" his sister, Stacey asked
"I'm afraid she's leaving us"
"To where?"
"Nowhere. You wouldn't understand it"
"Why?"
"Too many questions"
Flashback
Sam was 8 years old, and sitting on his chair at school.
"Hey, look. Trouty Mouth has another ugly sweater. His grandmother must dress him in the dark" teased Blaine Anderson.
"EWW!" Jeff Sterling said as he dropped his crayons
"Who does his hair? His baby brother?" Wes Montgomery teased
Sam ran off crying
The class laughed. Blaine and the boys were like gods to them.
Sam went back to the present day. His mother dressed him everyday. In ugly clothes. He went off in another flashback
His mom and dad were fighting. It wasn't surprising to 11 year old Sam, who did nothing but put up with it. That was, until he decided to do the unthinkable: try to stop the fight.
"STOP THE FIGHTING!" He screamed
"Well, the accident's talking" his mother said angrily
His mother went on talking about how she was expecting Sam when she and dad were teenagers and that Sam was an accident. Sam ran off crying after that.
Back in the present, Sam sung "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias at glee practice. Everybody clapped and cheered.
"Listen everybody. I'm leaving. As in, running away leaving" he announced
Liam was infuriated. Sam always complained about how life was terrible last year, so Liam did not want Sam to put pressure on glee club. The good thing was that the glee club was overflowing with members.
Everybody cried. They wouldn't win without Sam.
"I'm sorry for what I said to you, Charlie" Priya apologized
"So I can't still be mad at you for hurting my feelings?"
"Pretty much"
"Sorry, I can't except your apology"
Buffy interrupted their conversation
"Will's having a party at his house. See ya there"
"Sweet!" Priya chirped. "See ya there Charles"
It was the day of the party. Sam didn't show up. He had successfully ran away to San Jose. Shame.
"Let's play spin the bottle" Will said in a drunk tone
"Really?" Fae questioned. She outgrew spin the bottle.
First up was Nikki. She spinned. Her result was Lachlan. They kissed.
Next was Kimmy. Her result was... Buffy. She tried kissing someone else, but Buffy kissed her
Next was Charlie. Her result was Priya.
"I refuse to kiss her"
"You can't hold a grudge Charlie" Will told her
"Don't see why I shouldn't have to"
Charlie and Priya got into a huge fight.
Kimmy and Buffy managed to get out safely and sing a moving rendition of Enrique's "I Wish I Was Your Lover". Charlie and Priya stopped fighting. Everybody was now watching Kimmy and Buffy sing their duet with magic. The party had run smoothly after the spin the bottle debacle. It was a miracle. Thank god for Kimmy and Buffy. But Buffy had eyes on someone else. No, they weren't in the crowd. It was her best friend. She was just like her cousin. They were both closet lesbians.
"Let's sing a song, since our Enrique assignment has to come to an end" Will said.
Everybody cheered. They actually loved the Enrique assignment.
They sung Bailamos, a Spanish song. Well, half Spanish.
After the song, they laughed and cheered. Jeffrey laughed. Nick did the same. Patrick, Charlie, Priya, Fae. Nicki, Rio, Buffy, Kimmy and Shanae let out big cheers. It was a great number. Charlie and Priya made loving gazes. Buffy and Kimmy were doing the same.
