"Warblers, settle down." Wes said and banged his gavel, signaling that the meeting had officially begun. The room began to quiet down and soon, all the Warblers had their attention focused on the council.

"We have an announcement." David said, smiling. "The Crawford glee club, the Rosellas, has contacted us and asked us to perform with them at their show this Friday. As most of you know, many people from Dalton are going to be there and they have asked us to invite our friends and family, since it is a benefit to raise money for one of the girl in Crawford. We have been told she needs money for surgery and all that comes with it and she doesn't have enough, so the Rosellas put together this benefit for her." Several Warblers looked around themselves, smiling in excitement.

"We do realize this is very sudden and we have little time to rehearse, but we have decided to add in an extra Warbler rehearsal for choreography, which we have decided to put Council member David Thompson and Junior member Jeff Galven in charge of. Junior member Kurt Hummel had an idea he ran by the council and we find it very interesting." Thad said. "Kurt, if you would, explain the idea to the rest of the Warblers, please."

Kurt stood up, a big smile plastered on his face. "As most of you know, I have a lot of contact with the members of New Directions, the glee club that sadly won us at Regionals. However, I heard of a performance they did and I found the idea just simply brilliant. I talked to them, asking if we could do the same performance. After getting a yes from them, I ran this by the council, who thankfully said yes as well."

Kurt took a deep breath, still smiling. "They performed 'Born This Way' by the amazing and talented artist Lady Gaga."

Kurt heard Trent shout "Yes!" and he saw the excited look on Chris' face. But he also noticed Nathan's eye-roll and Robert's annoyed look. He still went on, hoping he could convince them all of this idea.

"For costumes, they had a simple white t-shirt. On the t-shirt, they printed on with big black letters a thing they didn't like about themselves, a flaw, that they couldn't change because, well, they were born this way."

"So you're saying we're going to perform in front of a bunch of people we know and tell them how flawed we are?" Nathan said, sounding very uninterested and unconvinced.

"If a person is not flawed, that person is not interesting." Kurt said. "Your flaws are something that defines you as a person, something you may hate but someone else loves, because it makes you who you are. The point of this is to embrace your flaw and wear that t-shirt with pride in front of all those people."

"Believe me, I know plenty of flawless people and they're all interesting. Just look around the room." Terry said, making several guys laugh. "I think we should change our name from the Warblers to the Flawless Bitches."

"Ha, I can just imagine it." Nathan said. "Gay Hogwarts presents, the Flawless Bitches."

"Gay Hogwarts?" James asked.

"Dalton." Nathan replied and James nodded, but he still didn't look like he quite understood.

"People call us that?" Randy asked, his expression a mixture between humor and creeped out.

"Nah, just a few Rosellas." Terry replied.

"Well, uh, what do we call them then?" Nick asked.

"Camp Lesbian Half-Blood." Nathan replied casually.

"I've got a question," Flint said, his arm slightly raised in the air, as if he was in a lesson, asking for his teacher to allow him to speak. Kurt nodded at him, giving Flint the signal he was waiting for. "Can we have like a thing we used to hate, but don't anymore?"

"Yes, that's fine." Kurt replied.

"Hang on, so we're actually doing this?" Randy asked, looking slightly shocked.

"Yes, we are. I want everyone to have decided on a flaw to put on the t-shirt by Thursday. Auditions will be held tonight, three solos will be handed out, so those who wish to audition, please raise your hand." Thad said. Kurt, Blaine, Jeff, Chris and Flint raised their hands.

"We are the second last performance. Senior Rosella member Eliza Scarlett will be the closing act. She told us she was going to have a very beautiful but powerful ballad and I'm sure it will be a fantastic closing act, what with her voice." David said.

"So it's decided. See you five tonight, meeting dismissed." Wes said and banged the gavel. The Warblers gathered their bags and started leaving the room. Jeff waited for Nick and they exited the commons together.

"So, you're auditioning tonight, huh? I think you'll get it, your voice is perfect for this song." Nick said.

"Yeah, you think so?" Jeff said, grabbing his hand and entwining their fingers together as they walked. Nick nodded, making Jeff smile widely. "So, what's your shirt gonna say?"

"I, um, I'm not really sure." Nick said, looking away.

"C'mon, what is it?" Jeff teased.

Nick opened his mouth but closed it again. He then looked at Jeff and shrugged. "Coward, I think."

Jeff just nodded. He knew Nick looked at himself a coward because he never stood up for himself. He never fought back at the bullies. He let them drive him away. He was also pretty easily scared.

"What about you?" Nick asked. They had almost reached the part of school where the dorms were.

Jeff looked around himself, wondering. "Hmm… I was thinking… maybe something about my hair? 'Cause, y'know, I dye it." Jeff said. Nick gave him a small smile, which was more like a little tug on his lips that ended in a second. Jeff furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "What?"

"It's-it's nothing, really." Nick said, but Jeff insisted he'd tell him. "I was just… I thought you'd maybe do it about your sexuality."

Jeff sighed. "I would, but… my parents are probably going to be there."

"You still haven't told them?" Nick asked, his eyes wide. He knew Jeff's parents weren't the biggest fans of the LGBT community, but he had at least expected Jeff to have told them. They'd been dating for several months now.

"I already told you, I can't. I mean, I was going to do it the other day, but I decided to test it on them first. Turns out they think bisexuals are just attention whores or people who won't admit they're gay. So I don't really think it's the best idea. I mean, it's not like it's urgent." Jeff said.

"Jeff, you have to tell them. They're your parents, they have the right to know."

"It's not that big of a deal. It's just an extra piece of information that isn't necessary for them to know. It's just like my eye-color, or what languages I know, or where I'm from. It doesn't really mean anything and it isn't a big deal."

"I really hope your parents know where you're from." Nick joked.

Jeff tried to fight a smile that was forming on his lips, but was unsuccessful. "Nick, I'm trying to be serious, you're not helping. I don't need to do this."

"Yes you do." Nick insisted. Jeff let go of his hand.

"No, Nick, I don't." Jeff said, the smile gone. "Stop pushing it, okay?" He said and turned around, walking back to his dorm.

The Warblers worked hard all week. Those who hadn't been very pumped for the performance early on in the week were a little more interested now. Kurt, Jeff and Chris had gotten the solos, much to some of the guys' shock that Blaine wasn't a lead this time. Nick and Jeff hadn't spoken much over the week, both because they weren't in a mood for a fight and frankly wanted to stay away from one, and because they were so busy, especially Jeff with making the choreography and teaching it.

Everything was perfect and complete when it was 2 PM on a Friday. The guys had practiced the performance so often they all knew it by heart. Even Randy knew the dance completely, even though he wasn't the best at doing it. It looked like three-fourth of Dalton, all of Crawford, plus friends and family were going to show up. Thankfully, the auditorium in Crawford was huge.

Even though the stage in the auditorium in Dalton was very similar to the one in Crawford, the Warblers still decided to test it, to see if their performance would be perfect. They arrived there at 5 PM and tested it. It was just as flawless as it was in the halls of Dalton. Since the benefit would start at 8 PM, they decided to all go out to dinner together at 6 PM.

They went to a nice Italian restaurant. They weren't tense or nervous, but excited. Only six Warblers had shown their shirts, but the rest kept it a secret, their hoodies or buttoned-up sweaters hiding the shirt.

Randy had AWKWARD DANCER written over his shirt, which was indeed true. He had never been the best or the most enthusiastic dancer, since he didn't really enjoy dancing.

Flint had DORK on his. He, in Kurt's opinion, was probably just about as big of a dork as Sam was. If they'd ever meet, Kurt was sure they'd be best friends within seconds, quoting Star Wars and Avatar left and right. Kurt hadn't made this happen yet because he was sure it would be very annoying.

Nathan had REVENGE. Kurt understood this perfectly. Nathan had to be the most revengeful person he knew. If someone did something to Nathan, he would do something back. Do something bad to Nathan, he'd do something twice as bad back. When he had tackled a football player roughly for calling him a bad name, Nathan tried to explain himself with 'I can't help it'.

James had WAIT WHAT?. At first, Kurt didn't really understand it. But then he found out, neither did James. Well, he really didn't most of the time. He flew right through projects and tests in class, but when it came to social skills, he wasn't as good. People couldn't hint things to him, because he'd never get it. 'You know what I mean?' phrases were something that shouldn't be used around him.

Blaine had 100% GAY. This doesn't really need much explanation, but it made Kurt smile every time he saw it.

Chris had EMOTIONAL. This was true. Very true. He got easily upset, easily angry, easily sad, easily happy, easily excited, the list could go on and on. How he felt was always noticeable.

When they got to the auditorium, watching the guests pouring in, waiting for the show to start, the rest of the seniors revealed their shirts.

Wes had ASIAN HOBBIT. It had actually been suggested by Flint. Wes had an idea what he wanted to write on it, but Flint had put it into two words. Wes wasn't ashamed of being Asian, no, but sometimes he wished not to be when he heard one too many jokes or when he was stereotyped too often. He also didn't really like his height, but it had never really been a trouble for him. Once again, it was only when pointed out by other people constantly that he wished to change it.

David had MOTHER HEN. This made Kurt laugh when he first saw it, both at how well phrased it was and how true it was. David was very responsible and protective. He knew all the information that was needed, he always managed to save things at the last minute for some Warblers and he always made sure they were okay. He was often nicknamed the 'mom' of the Warblers. It wasn't that he was ashamed of it, no, but it tended to irritate him how everything was always put on him to be perfect. If something messed up, he got the blame.

Thad had PARANOID. Everyone knew how much this annoyed Thad and how much he wished he wasn't like this. See a serial killer movie? He believed he would get murdered soon. See a 'do this or that or your mom will die'? He'd do it. If he wasn't sure if a door was locked, he'd check it. At least three times. Flint told him they needed to talk? Yep, he was breaking up with him.

Terry had LOUD. Oh, how true this was. His voice was loud and it boomed over everyone else's voices. If he was talking, people knew. His voice was just simply loud and he didn't control it. It took him extra effort to lower it and that was often forgotten by him. Even if he simply dropped something, it was louder than it should have been.

Now it would be nice to mention Kurt's. It was LIKES BOYS. It wasn't something Kurt was ashamed of. Not anymore, at least.

The auditorium was full of people. Kurt got a text from Mercedes, who told him all of New Directions were there, excited to see if their version of Born This Way was better or not. Kurt just laughed at the text and sent her back one that said he thought theirs was probably very good, but the Warblers version was flawless.

Once the show started and the first girl went up on the stage, Kurt noticed some more shirts of the guys.

Robert had TRUST ISSUES. He looked slightly nervous over his shirt, but he looked a tad more confident when Nathan slapped him on the shoulder and told him to not worry. Robert wasn't a guy that trusted others easily. Actually, for several weeks after Kurt transferred, he was convinced he was just a spy that was trying to seduce Blaine. Once Blaine was in love with him, Kurt would leave just before the competition and leave Blaine heartbroken, which would leave them without a lead singer.

Frank had AWKWARD. Once you got to know him, he wasn't very awkward. But before stepping into the friend zone, he was plain awkward. He never knew what to do, what to say, how comfortable the other person was with him or what was acceptable.

Nick had COWARD. Kurt had never seen that in Nick. He nudged Blaine and asked him to explain which he did. Apparently, Nick was so broken when he had gotten to Dalton some guys feared it was beyond repair. He was a completely shut shell and he roamed the halls with his head ducked down, fearing almost everyone. It wasn't until Nathan practically dragged him out of his shell that he began to act properly once more. Nick fled from his own school, fled away from the bullies. Encountering one of them would send him into shock and his entire body would shake, his mouth would dry up and he wouldn't be able to mutter a single word. It sounded more to Kurt that he was just terrified, but he didn't voice it.

Trent had TATTLETALE. This was true and Kurt had experienced it. Often. He was Trent's dormmate and they had begun talking to each other quickly. They found out they had a lot of things in common. They were both into fashion, they had similar taste in music and in films. Kurt knew about all of the gossip and stories going around in Dalton and Crawford, and some other schools even. But Trent was a good person, so those stories rarely were bad and he rarely said anything mean about anyone. If the rumor itself made someone look bad, Trent always tried to point out at least one good thing about the person.

It was almost time for them to go on stage when someone tapped Nick's shoulder. He turned around to see Jeff smiling at him. Before Nick could say anything, Jeff zipped down his light-blue hoodie half way, revealing the t-shirt underneath. BI-SEXUAL.

"I'm sorry for being a douche." Jeff said, zipping up the hoodie again. Nick smiled and laughed, standing on his tip-toes to give Jeff a soft peck on the lips.

"Sorry for pushing you. Are you sure it's okay?" Nick asked.

"Unless I tell my family, I'm only halfway out of the closet, right? It'll be fine. They'll probably accept me. I mean…" Jeff said. Even though he tried to cover it up, Nick could hear how nervous he was.

"I'm sure they will. Just relax and break a leg." He said. He motioned with his head to the stage. "It's time."

The performance was great. Nothing went wrong. They poured their hearts and souls out to the audience, enjoying every moment of the song. Even Randy got a bit too caught up in the dancing, smiling like an idiot. When the song ended, the audience broke into massive applause. People stood up from their seats, and even Christina, the girl this was all planned for, looked happier than she had in many weeks.

Jeff scanned the audience after the song ended, looking for his parents. He found them, stationed in the middle and slightly to the left. A part of him had hoped they'd smile at him. He knew this was a shock to them, their son coming out in the middle of a Lady Gaga song, but he felt a tight knot forming in his stomach. His father's expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief. His mother's was a mixture of shock and disappointment.

When he left the stage, Nick made a beeline towards him. He had seen them, he had seen their faces, but most of all, he had seen Jeff's. He wrapped his arms around Jeff's waist, looking up at him with sympathy.

"Are you okay?" He asked. Jeff looked out of it, his eyes filled with sadness, but after Nick asked him, he snapped out of it. He looked at Nick, a smile plastered on his face, his eyes had lit up.

"Yeah, babe, I'm fine."

Nick had been Jeff's friend for a long time. He knew when Jeff was lying. He knew when he put on his mask and pretended everything was fine.

This was one of those times.

Inspired by Night of Neglect and Born This Way! Well, eh, I hope you guys aren't getting tired of getting drama after drama after drama. It's just that it's easier to write those, and it's a lot of fun, and the plot is better. Though, my chapters will be light and semi-pointless in the middles and hopefully funny haha x)

Rosellas are birds, by the way. Also, my longest chapter yet!

Oh and soon I'll go into tests, so don't expect chapters daily anymore. Expect them more around this weekend, but then after that every other or third other day.

And I was wondering, should I begin a sequel or are you guys alright with all these chapters?

Thanks for reading and reviewing. I love you guys so much!
