I didn't realize how short the last chapter was! Oops. I know it's a bit far-fetched Rachel, popular, yeah I know =) This story will have a lot of dialogue from the show The Glee Project, mainly from extra scenes but yeah. Enjoy this chapter.
P.S My O'C will be added in this chapter.
Cameron-
I was always so sure. SO sure of who I am. Who I loved. Who I wanted to be. But Rachel. She was...Rachel. So confident and radiant and beautiful. She breezed around. Was it wrong to like her and be with Marissa? Marissa was different some days though. Distant. Sometimes when I took her out for dinner she'd leave her plate untouched. I tired to talk to her about it, but she'd get angry and ignore me for the rest of the day before calling me that night in tears, apologizing.
"Hey, I'm Lindsay." The black-haired girl said, extending her hand.
"Cameron." She smiled and turned to Emily who was talking in animated bursts, she turned and winked at a few guys walking down the hall.
"Aren't we going to be late?" I heard Damien say, I tried to ignore the hand drifting a bit low on Rachel's back.
"Nah. It's fine." Rachel said, turning to smile at him.
"Cam! Is that you?" I heard Marissa. I shook my head and turned to see Marissa running down the hall. Sometimes it was hard to not notice how fragile she looked, how thin she was.
"Hey Marissa, meet my friends." Marissa smiled and extended her hand to the people in front of me. I couldn't help but glance over at the pink-haired girl Rachel had exclaimed as Quinn. She had her eyebrows raised and was looking sceptically at the scene
"OH hey! Rachel right? I remember you. Your the one who helped Cameron out. I see he's taken a liking to you." I jumped. Was I standing to close? I realized that I was in fact a little closer than deemed friendly.
"It's my Berry charm!" Rachel joked. Quinn scoffed.
"Yeah right..." I zoned out again. Marissa so beautiful and amazing, someone I could talk to whenever I needed. We had been dating for a year. I mean seriously, she lived with me here in Lima. But Rachel, she was just oozing with confidence. I covered my mouth with hands. Why does it have be so gosh darn confusing. Marissa put a hand on my shoulder.
"Did you see that freak? People these days!" She scoffed. She was obviously discussing the Quinn girl.
"Hey baby." Finn said, kissing Rachel on the forehead. She giggled. I rolled my eyes. Not good for you just blow it on your first day. Your with Marissa. Rachel is with Finn. I looked at Marissa who was looking at Finn up and down. Oh yippee.
"Excuse me. Excuse me. Oh! Oh no! Oh god...Damn it" A relatively short girl was making her way through our group but tripped, spilling her bags contexts on the ground. Emily immediately dropped and gathered her things.
"Are you OK?" Lindsay asked.
"I'm fine." She said. The girl stood up and fixed her hair, she really actually wasn't that short now that I could see her properly, maybe a few centimetres shorter than Rachel. She had those two tone blue eyes. The kind that were dark blue on the outside but a whitish colour towards the pupil. Her hair was shoulder length and was a reddish-brown colour, it was in a mess of curls, from the many days I spent at Marissa's I could tell they were from a hair-straightener, Why do I know that? It's just sad. I need to hang around guys more often. Shouldn't I know stuff about...cars? Meh, I'm fine with my guitar.. She had on a floral shirt and high-waisted shorts with 3d glasses to top it off. She was truthfully very pretty.
"Nice glasses freak." A jock commented as he passed.
"Piss off." She snapped.
"I think they're cute." Rachel said.
"Cute." The girl mused. "As If I already don't look like a freaking 7 year old. Senior year and I still look a bloody pre-schooler."
"I didn't mean it that way." Rachel said hastily.
"Ignore her. She had word vomit sometimes." Finn laughed.
"Charming." Emily said.
"Right." The girl nodded and made to leave.
"Hey wait." Rachel said. "I'm Rachel. This is Finn, Damien, Cameron, Emily and Lindsay."
"Sarah." She pulled off her glasses and stuffed them in her bag. "I'm gonna be late." She turned and hurried into A.P Chemistry.
"Hey! She's got A.P Chemistry with me!" I exclaimed.
"Well Jesus. Not all of us can be super smart." Emily said.
"Hey, language." I scolded.
"What'd I say?" She asked, confused.
"Don't take the lords name in vain." I told her.
"I need to seriously re-evaluate my vocabulary then. Eesh." Damien said. Rachel pulled out a glittery thing and flipped open.
"Oh g- crap. I'm late for class! Come on Finn. We have Mr Schue next and he'll think something is up. Bye guys!" She grabbed Finn's hand and pulled him down the hall. Damien waved bye and walked calmly to the Art department, I noticed he tripped a little over thin air.
"I guess I should be getting myself to Music." Emily said.
"Oh I have music too!" Lindsay exclaimed.
"Oh thank god!" Emily cried. I shook my head and waved to the girls.
"Bye Cam. I have to get to Biology." Marissa said, kissing me on the cheek. I sighed. Maybe this new girl could sing. Rachel would love it if I found someone else for her Glee club. When I walked in I saw Sarah sitting by herself tapping her fingers on the desk and swaying from side to side. There were only really two seats to choose from. The one next to her and another next to some big jock looking guy with a Mohawk. Well it was obvious which was the better place. I sat next to her, Sarah made no notice that someone had sat next to her.
"Maybe this time, I'll be lucky." I heard her sing softly. Not much to exactly broadcast it. Just singing to pass the time. She had a really soft, jazzy type voice.
"You should join glee club." I blurted.
"What?"
"Glee club, you know. Show-choir?"
"I know what Glee club is, I'm not stupid. But why should I join glee club? Are you under the impression I can even sing?"
"I heard you, just then."
"OK, I'm a transfer from Carmel, I was in their show choir. I was one of the people in the back-ground who just swayed. I saw New Directions at Regionals. The people in there are amazing. I have a pip-squeak voice compared to that Brunette chick."
"Who, Rachel? She's really nice. But from what I heard, your voice is amazing. You need to join, turn Glee club into a...a giant wall of sound." I remembered Rachel's speech during home-room.
"Whoa. Rachel? Rachel Berry? The girl Jesse St James fake dated last year and then egged? Gee, wouldn't she be kinda pissed? If she found out I went to Carmel and was in Vocal Adrenaline? She'd think I egged her! But I didn't. I tried to stop them. Honest."
"I'm not gonna get angry. And neither is Rachel."
"I can't join. I can't sing in front of people. I only joined Vocal Adrenaline because someone I liked was in it. But it didn't work, I got shot down and what happened was broadcasted over the school. So I moved here."
"Really? I reckon you shouldn't let people chase you away, let people mock you. Gotta stay strong, embrace your inner nerd. Like you did with your glasses there. Or are they just a fashion statement."
"I am making a fashion statement. I'm proving that I don't want to be the same as everyone else. I want to stand out from a crowd, because it's so easy to get lost in it." Wow, she was insightful.
"See, do that everyday and boys will lay down in your path." She giggled.
"No one likes the short nerd who looks like a five year old."
"You look more like a freshman. Heck, it may be a pain in the butt now, but when your 50 years old and can laugh cuz you still look like your in your mid-thirties. You'll be laughing then won't you?"
"I never thought about it that way. Thanks Cameron. I like you, at least I made one friend." I smiled.
"Sit with me at lunch. Meet Rachel and the others. They'll love you. You can bring that optimism that glee club LOVES."
"Oh, I don't know."
"Please."
"Alright. Fine."
(time warp)
Sarah and I somehow managed to find the cafeteria without ending up on the hitlist for a slushy. Sarah giggled.
"We're like Charlie's Angel style. Who are we trying to dodge?"
"You don't know?"
"About what?"
"People get slushied here. People they think are dorks or different."
"Slushied? I love slushy's. I'll just get them to aim in my mouth."
"Huh, that's exactly what Damien said."
"I have that kinda connection." She laughed.
"Why are you guys pressed up against the wall?" Marissa asked. Sarah jumped.
"Oh my god." She said.
"Hey, language." I told her for the 6th time that day.
"Right my bad."
"My question?" Marissa said.
"Oh yeah, we're just trying not to get slushied. Marissa, you met Sarah. She's pretty cool. A total free-spirit. You shoulda heard her in Chemistry."
"Hmm." Marissa said, looking at Sarah coldly. She didn't notice she was peering around a corner.
"Score. Found the cafeteria. And I see Rachel, Finn and Damien."
"Cool." I said. Marissa looked up brightly. Sarah ran off to talk to Rachel, I stayed behind and talked quickly to Marissa.
"What was with that?" I asked.
"With what."
"That...look. The one you gave Sarah."
"It was nothing. Just don't want her stealing my boyfriend."
"Yeah but you can check out Finn Hudson?"
"I wasn't."
"Don't deny it. You went from pissed at Sarah to looking like a kid on Christmas as soon as she mentioned Finn."
"It wasn't-It's not-I mean-I don't. I love you Cam."
"Maybe you should prove it more often. I wish you'd talk to me more. You've been quiet. You get pissed at me all the time when I ask what's up. Is there something your not telling me? Are you gonna dump me?"
"You immediately skip to that conclusion?"
"Well I'm sorry if I'm a little self conscious."
"Hey guys! You coming." Sarah said.
"Yeah." I told her. I turned back to Marissa. "We'll talk about this later."
"Fine. I'm going to the library."
"Whatever." I walked down to where Sarah was talking with Rachel, Damien and Finn had retreated into the cafeteria.
"So I am so sorry about what Jesse did. I tried to talk to him. Honest but seriously, he has no soul."
"Hey, no hard feelings. We're cool."
"Hey girls, and Cameron." Emily cried. Lindsay ran up after her.
"Hey, sorry, Coach Sylvester wanted to talk to me. Something about the 'Cheerios', the cheer-leading team. But I said no. Told her I was focusing on Glee club."
"YOU WHAT!" Rachel cried. We walked into the cafeteria and I noticed some people staring. Finn and Damien waved from a table nearest the wall. We walked over and sat down. Rachel next to Finn, Emily next to Rachel and Me, Sarah, Damien and Lindsay on the other side.
"I told Couch Sylvester that I wasn't going to join the Cheerio's cuz of Glee club."
"You can't say no to Sue Sylvester." Rachel told her.
"It's like committing suicide." Finn ended.
"I think it's silly. Back in Ireland teacher's were very calm. I saw a teacher shove a student into a wall here! Madness."
"Was said teacher wearing a tracksuit?" Rachel asked.
"Yep."
"That's Coach Sylvester."
"Oh."
"I'm sorry but can I be the first to say, you accent is way cool." Sarah said.
"Thanks, but some blonde cheerleader already said that. She asked if I was the leprechaun from the end of the rainbow."
"Brittany." Finn stated.
"Try saying something in an American accent." Emily joked.
"Like what."
"Say...Say girl get down on the floor and drop that booty low."
"What!" Rachel, Lindsay and Sarah giggled. I shrugged.
"Umm, girl get down on the floor and drop that booty LOW."
"You sound like a pimp." Sarah choked out.
"Say girl meet me in the car in 5 minutes and I'll work some magic." I told him, Sarah slapped my arm.
"Not exactly very Christian like, Cameron."
"Meet me in the car in 5 minutes and I'll work some MAGIC." Damien said.
"Oh my god!" Emily cried.
"Hey!" I said.
"Sorry. Sorry."
"That is the single most hilarious thing I have ever seen." Lindsay laughed. Finn shook his head.
"Why do you put so much effort in low and magic?"
"I'm Irish dude, I can't speak like that. I have to force it out."
"Hey, Berry. Nice dress." Said the Mohawk-ed boy from Chemistry. Rachel giggled.
"Why thank you Puckerman. What do you want?"
"Just being nice to the hot Jewish girl community." He winked and sat next to a rather...large girl.
"What the hell was that?" Finn asked.
