01x02: The Boy Band
"Alright guys," Mr. Schue said confidently. "I have a feeling that this year will be better than the others."
"You mean the years that Glee epically failed?" Hannah monotoned, adjusting the strap of her messenger bag, walking (late again!) into Glee. Her outfit today consisted of a short sundress, but paired with a baggy sweater and boots. She looked confused about her seasons, but everyone had learned by now to not question her fashion sense.
"Yes…those years…" Will deadpanned. "Well…I was thinking we needed to do some recruitment!"
"Why?" Cody asked, crossing his skinny jean clad legs. "I mean, isn't my talent enough to carry us through the year without more members?"
Jordana and James, who were fast friends, began snickering, but Will hushed them.
"To compete we need at least 12 members. If we want to be successful, we have to compete," Will explained. Oliver grinned. Competition was something he could get into.
Bailey raised her hand. "What did you have in mind?"
"Well, as you know, the annual back-to-school assembly is Friday afternoon…" Will said, hoping they'd catch his drift. Everyone looked confusedly at him. He sighed. "I was thinking we could perform a musical number to get people pumped for Glee club! What are you kids into nowadays?"
"Fascist governments?" Hannah said with a quirk of her eyebrow.
"…no…" Will said, "What kind of music are you kids into?"
"Boy bands, of course!" Cody grinned. "One Direction is a worldwide phenom, and the JoBros are making a huge comeback, not to mention the boy bands of days past, like N-Sync and the Backstreet Boys."
Jordana made a gagging motion and James fist-bumped her.
"I hate boy bands," Hannah said irritably. "They are a representation of everything wrong in our world."
Bailey smiled and looked to Oliver. "If it helps out Glee club, I'm all for it. Come on guys, if it'll help out Glee club, then we should try it. What do you have to lose?"
"Our reputations?" James mentioned. "Dude, no one is going to take me seriously if I get up there singing some lame One Direction song."
"No one takes you seriously anyway, James," Cody said haughtily.
James laughed and said, "Fine, I'll sing the One Direction song. Whatever."
Jordana groaned and put her head in her hands. "What did I sign up for?" She watched as Mr. Schue wrote 'Boy Bands' on the whiteboard, and she met eyes with Hannah. Hannah rolled her eyes and Jordana grinned. Finally, someone agreed with her that this was a stupid idea.
Meanwhile, at Dalton Academy…
The bell rang with a resounding BRRIIINNNGG and Michael stood up to go to his next class. Why would all freshman be required to take German 1? Seriously? When was that ever needed?
He was on his way to the obscure class when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Ah, the ever elusive Caleb Avery. He was showing a rare grin and his Dalton tie was crooked. "What's up freshman?"
"Going to class…" Michael said. What else would be up?
"Hmm…" Caleb said mysteriously. His hair was styled like Justin Beiber's, sticking up in the front and everything. His hazel eyes were deep and calculating. Michael felt himself blush as Caleb grabbed his arm and said, "What about Warbler practice? Heading to that?"
"Don't I have to audition first?" Michael asked.
"So you admit you're going to audition," Caleb grinned.
"Well, no, but…"
"Come on! You should!" Caleb smiled. "Follow me and I'll show you what you're missing out on."
"But what about German?" Michael's question died as Caleb pulled him through the blazer-clad crowd and into the senior commons. When he got there, Caleb went to join the group of guys standing by the window. Upon arriving, the Warblers burst into the opening notes of a Train song.
Caleb grinned and sang out,
"My heart is paralyzed
My head was oversized
I'll take the high road like I should
You said it's meant to be
That it's not you, it's me
You're leaving now for my own good…"
Michael had to admit that Caleb's baritone voice was fantastic. The Warblers got silent as he sang a capella,
"That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntan
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say goodbye…"
Caleb grinned and belted out, making eye contact with Michael every so often,
"My pride still feels the sting
You were my everything
Some day I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours)
She'll think I'm Superman
Not super minivan
How could you leave on Yom Kippur?"
Caleb looked mischievously at Michael before singing out,
"That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert
Drowned in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say goodbye…"
Michael began dancing along indiscreetly as Caleb merged into the bridge,
"I wanna live a thousand lives with you
I wanna be the one you're dying to
Love... but you don't want to
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say…"
He laughed before belting,
"She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntan
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies…"
Behind him, the Warblers were doing a quick two step.
"She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert
Drowned in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say goodbye!"
He finished off strong and all of the Dalton guys in attendance clapped manically. Caleb, after receiving a few pats on the back, marched over to Michael and asked, "So what did you think?"
Micheal grinned and said, "You're amazing." Then he blushed, because wow, obvious much? Caleb grinned though and checked his Rolex.
"You still have a minute to get German, freshman," he winked, before patting him on the back so hard Michael nearly went flying. His bright blonde hair was messy and he had flyaways by the time he made it to German, his face still burning.
Back at McKinley
"Peterson! Pass it!" Coach Beiste yelled at the talented player. Sure enough, he followed the instructions and led to the team to an imaginary victory. Peterson was a good guy. Always listening to the coaches and refs, and Coach Beiste knew she made a good choice in making him captain. Peterson and Lane fist bumped.
"Dude, our team is awesome this year," Neal Peterson grinned at his best friend, Theo Lane. Theo, flipping his silky black hair, nodded.
"Of course, we could be better if Coach made me captain, but whatever."
Neal tensed but let the comment go. Theo was a jerk, everyone knew it, but as his best friend Neal was the one to put up with his comments every day. Sometimes Theo could be cool, but not often.
"Yeah…" Neal said awkwardly as the two made their way to the locker room to get changed.
"So, you coming to my party Friday night?" Theo asked, already imagining all of the girls. And beer. But mostly the girls.
"Yeah man, I think so," Neal said. As much as he disliked Theo's attitude, he threw awesome parties.
"Awesome," Theo grinned. "I've already arranged for somebody to bring the booze."
"Best part of partying," Neal said, although he didn't really like alcohol all that much. It was okay, he guessed. He could have just as much fun playing football.
"Too bad we're stuck going to that stupid assembly…" Theo muttered. "Hopefully the stupid Glee club won't perform."
"Yeah!" Neal laughed.
"Haha, what losers."
"What's with you an Latisha?" Neal asked, curious. Theo wasn't into long-term. He was more of a hit-and-run guy.
"Nothing!" Theo laughed. "She's just another girl. I was going to end it off tonight."
"I think you should go ahead and do it," Neal admitted. "I mean she needs to know so she won't get hurt."
"She's a girl, she doesn't have feelings…" Theo grinned.
Wednesday Afternoon, McKinley
Elle was rolling down the hallway. Literally. Her wheelchair, however, didn't hide her bitchy attitude. As one of the school's biggest bitches, she and her best friend Latisha Sanchez (another bitch) ruled the school and in Latisha's case, the Cheerios. Her curled hair was hitting her middle back as she rolled over to see Latisha, the Latina looking awesome out of uniform.
"Coach is going to flip when she sees you in that," Elle said, referring to the tight black dress and leather jacket. She looked damn fine, if she said so herself.
"Oh whatever," Latisha said, applying some more lip gloss. "I was going to meet Theo tonight for an impromptu date or something. I think he just wants sex, but you know, whatever."
"Right…" Elle smiled. She wasn't a Cheerio but she was still one of the most popular girls in the school.
Latisha's phone buzzed and she glanced at it. "What?" She said, sounding pissed.
"What's going on?" Elle asked, trying to look at the phone.
"He just broke up with me…" Latisha said through gritted teeth. "I knew having sex with him was a bad idea."
"It's okay," Elle reassured. "Plenty of other guys want that ass too."
Latisha smiled and put her phone back in her purse. "You're right. Who needs him anyway?"
Elle smiled and grabbed Latisha's hand. "Good."
From afar, Theo was watching the two with a curious look on his face. He glared and in his head, a scene played out…
Upbeat music started up and Theo opened up his locker. He sang to himself,
"She's a 5 foot 10 in catsuit and bambi eyes
Everybody's who's staring wouldn't believe that this girl was mine
I should have know I was wrong
When I left her for a life in pity
But they say you never miss the water until it's gone…"
He slammed his locker and belted,
"Guess I failed to love you
And you're taking it out tonight
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?"
Theo cursed to himself and sang,
"She's all dressed up for glamour and rock and roll
Wanna squeeze her real tight get out of this place
If only I could take control
But she is out of my reach forever
And just a week ago she lied next to me
It's so ironic how I had to lose just
To see that I failed to love you
And you're taking it out tonight…"
He began dancing down the hall, singing out,
"How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?"
He stopped for a moment and sang,
"I don't wanna forget you
I don't even wanna try
How am I supposed to walk on by when you're looking like that?"
He resumed dancing and finished off,
"How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?"
He shook his head and returned back to reality. He didn't regret breaking it off, and he definitely didn't sing. Why was he thinking about it then?
"So…boy bands?" Bailey asked Oliver.
"Yeah," Oliver said. "I'm not sure what song I'll be singing."
"Me neither…" Bailey said. "Maybe we could sing together?" She asked hopefully.
"Nah…" He said. "I think all of us Glee guys are going to be singing something. I know something really catchy we could do."
"Okay…" Bailey said, disappointed. She wasn't really keen on sitting with him anymore. She noticed Hannah sitting alone a little ways off. "I'm going to go sit with Hannah. She looks lonely."
"Okay!" Oliver said, motioning for James and Cody to come over towards him.
Bailey huffed in frustration. She stood, grabbed her tray and plopped down next to Hannah.
"What's up?" She asked.
Hannah looked at her as if she was an alien. "This wasn't in the star charts…" she muttered.
"Huh?" Bailey asked.
"Nothing."
"Right…" Bailey said. "So, what are you reading?" She asked, pointing to the thick book Hannah was buried in.
"It's a book about Russian government," Hannah said simply. "Stalin was a horrible man, did you know that?"
"Sure…" Bailey said, already feeling lost. "Do you play any sports?"
"Sports were organized in Ancient Rome, where people were publicly executed in the same place. Not a fan…" Hannah said.
"Are you sure?" Bailey asked.
"Ninety-five percent sure."
"Okay…" Bailey trailed off, her blonde hair falling in loose waves, a stark contrast to Hannah's messy braid, halfway falling down. Hannah's hazel eyes blinked curiously at her.
"Oh. You want to talk about boys," Hannah said, something so honest it made Bailey uncomfortable.
"I guess…"
"Are you and Oliver together?" Hannah asked, staring at him.
"Quit staring," Bailey hissed. "And no. Of course not."
"Oh. Good," Hannah said. "Because you aren't compatible."
"How do you know?" Bailey asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Just do."
"Has anybody prepared something to sing at the assembly?" Mr. Schue asked. Cody glanced at Oliver and raised his hand.
"Yes, Cody?"
"As a leading man, I organized for the men of the group to sing a song. It's a classic," Cody said, flashing that smile again.
"Even though it was my idea," Oliver muttered.
James, Oliver, and Cody walked up to the piano, where a stereo rested. They pressed a button and a hip hip beat started playing.
"Yeah, alright…" Cody sang, turned around, going into his head voice.
"It's kinda funny how life can change…" James sang, turning around. His singing was mediocre but his dancing was phenomenal. "Can flip 180 in a matter of days…"
Oliver belted out,
"Sometimes love works in mysterious ways
One day you wake up gone without a trace
I refused to give up
I refused to give in
You're my everything…"
Cody sang out, adding unnecessary riffs,
"I don't wanna give up
I don't wanna give in, oh no
Everybody sings…"
Everyone belted out, dancing identically,
"One love- for the mother's pride
One love - for the times we cried
One love - gotta stay alive
I will survive
One love - for the city streets
One love - for the hip-hop beats
One love, Oh I do believe
One love is all we need!"
James sang out,
"Late at night I'm still wide awake
Feel this is far more than I can take…"
Cody sang out powerfully,
"I thought my heart could never break
Now I know that's one big mistake
I refused to give up
I refused to give in
You're my everything…"
Oliver took over and sang,
"I don't wanna give up
I don't wanna give in
Everybody sing…"
All three of the boys belted out, dancing improving as the song went on,
"One love- for the mother's pride
One love - for the times we cried
One love - gotta stay alive
I will survive
One love - for the city streets
One love - for the hip-hop beats
One love, Oh I do believe
One love is all we need!"
James grinned and sang out, "Baby, just love me, love me, love me…"
"Baby, just hold me, hold me. hold me…" Cody sang, winking.
"Oh, love me, love me, love me, ooh…" Oliver belted.
"One love- for the mother's pride
One love - for the times we cried
One love - gotta stay alive
I will survive
One love - for the city streets
One love - for the hip-hop beats
One love, Oh I do believe
One love is all we need!"
They finished strong and Jordana and Bailey were clapping excitedly. Hannah was snapping with a smug look on her face. Will was taken aback.
"That was great you guys! Definitely a contender."
Hannah answered her phone that night with a quick, "What?"
"That's no way to greet your best friend," the voice from the phone quipped.
"Shut up, Caleb…" she groaned. "I thought we were past the best friend status?"
"What?" Caleb laughed. "Hannah, I always liked your humor. Seriously, I was going to tell you about this new guy-"
"New guy?" Hannah asked. Caleb had a fluid sexuality…and she was hopelessly in love with him.
"Yeah! He's so awesome. He's a year younger than you but-"
"I thought I was too young for you," Hannah deadpanned, feeling the urge to smoke. She'd never smoked a day in her life. But God she wanted to right now.
"Yeah but you're Hannah. You're kind of a screwed up mess, you never listen, you're you. But he…wow, he's amazing…"
Hannah raised her eyebrows. "Really? He's that amazing?"
"Yes…" Caleb admitted. "But he's fourteen, and I'm sixteen, and that seems a little weird, doesn't it?"
"Sure," Hannah muttered. She paused. "Look, my dad is calling me. Talk to you later."
"But your dad-"
She hung up.
"I prepared something."
Will looked in surprise at his slacker of a Glee club member. She was wearing high-waisted wide leg jeans and a peasant top. She cleared her throat, and sang out,
"Can't ever get it right
No matter how hard I try
And I've tried
Well I put up a good fight
But your words cut like knives
And I'm tired
As you break my heart again this time…"
She belted out angrily,
"Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
That I never listen, listen
Tell me you don't want my kiss
That you need your distance, distance
Tell me anything but don't you say he's what you're missing baby
If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight
Spare me what you think and
Tell me a lie…"
She sang, before moving straight to the bridge.
"Tell me a lie
Tell me a lie
Tell me a lie!"
She closed her eyes and belted,
"Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
That I never listen, listen
Tell me you don't want my kiss
That you need your distance, distance
Tell me anything but don't you say he's what you're missing baby
If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight
Spare me what you think and
Tell me a lie!"
Hannah finished strong, with everyone wondering where that voice had come from. It wasn't her typical high, clear, jazzy voice. It was something a lot stronger. She didn't say anything, she just sat down.
Jordana was pissed. Now Hannah had even moved to the dark side. Boy bands weren't even that great anyway.
"I have an idea for the assembly," she heard herself say.
"Really?" James asked, looking at her curiously.
"Yeah…" her copper colored hair was pin-straight today and she flicked it over her shoulder. Pesky hair. "I was thinking we could do a mash-up of 'Larger Than Life' and 'I Want It That Way' by the Backstreet Boys. With all the dance moves and stuff."
Will grinned and clapped. "That's perfect! McKinley won't know what hit them!"
Thursday Afternoon, Dalton
"So, Michael," Caleb grinned. "Got a girlfriend?"
Michael gulped. Here we go. "Um…I'm not…into that…"
"Really?" He muttered. "Hmm. That's cool. Labels aren't my thing. For instance, I sleep with guys and I sleep with girls."
Michael felt his neck flush. How could Caleb be so open about things like that?
"Ah…" Michael just said. He was at a loss for words.
"Do you have any female friends?" Caleb asked. "Because my friend Hannah is really pissed at me."
"Girls are always pissed…" Michael muttered.
"Right you are my man," Caleb winked. "Let's go to English, okay?"
Thursday Afternoon, McKinley
"Why are you so upset with me?" Oliver asked. Bailey turned around, clutching her binder to her chest.
"Ever since we joined Glee, all you can talk about is Cody and James. I realize you need guy friends too but I've been your best friend since we were in the womb. We took our first gymnastics class together. You were there when…that happened. I know you're a gold medal winning gymnast but you've always been there for me," Bailey stated. "At least until you met James and Cody."
"I'm sorry, Bailey," Oliver tried. "I'll spend more time with you, I promise."
"Between your gymnastics career and your guy friends, you won't have time for me. Just forget it," Bailey said, turning away.
Oliver felt so lost. That is, until he got the idea.
When Bailey walked into Glee, all she saw was Hannah, Cody, Jordana, Oliver, and James, in that order, lined up by the piano. She raised an eyebrow and tried to say something but she was cut off by Oliver singing,
"You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed
So tell me what to do now
Cause I…"
"I!" James sang.
"I!" Cody belted.
"I!" Jordana trilled.
"I!" Hannah sang.
All five of them in perfect harmony sang out to Bailey, "I want you back!"
As the four Gleeks behind him stepped back, Oliver belted out,
"It's hard to say I'm sorry
It's hard to make the things I did undone
A lesson I've learned too well for sure
So don't hang up the phone now
I'm trying to figure out just what to do
I'm going crazy without you…"
The five Gleeks harmonized perfectly and belted out,
"You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed
So tell me what to do now
When I want you back!"
The merged into the bridge, singing,
"You're the one I want You're the one I need
Girl, what can I do
You're the one I want
You're the one I need
Tell me what can I do?"
They sang the chorus again and the song was done. Bailey grinned at Oliver.
"Fine, yeah, okay, I'll be your friend again."
They hugged and Hannah glared.
"Seriously? I did this so you guys could be friends?" She frowned. "I'm out of here.
Friday Afternoon, McKinley
"Alright students," Figgins said. "It is now time for the assembly of the back-to-school. First up is Sue Sylvester with a speech on academic achievement."
Dawn-Mae wasn't really listening to the speech. Don't tell her parents. She was wondering about the Glee club. According to some of the cheerleaders (Cheerios?) they weren't very good, but Dawn liked to think that they might have some talent. She was kind of looking forward to it.
However, on the other side of the gym, where the jock and Cheerios were, Neal and Theo weren't.
"Glee is so lame…" Theo muttered.
"Yeah," Neal grinned.
A few rows down, Elle and Latisha were whispering to each other. Elle giggled loudly at something Latisha said and she got glared at.
In another section of the gym, the dance team was sitting, rolling their eyes.
"Ugh, how could we be forced to sit through this torture every year?" One of the dancers asked Lorhin. The blonde shrugged, but she was secretly listening.
A few rows above them, a skater was watching Sue, but not listening. Maybe this year the Glee club would be decent, he thought. Beside him, a cute guy in suspenders and a v-neck was smiling at Sue. He kind of liked her snaky attitude and funny one-liners. He didn't care much about the Glee club. The little voice in his head said, "Well maybe you do…"
"Alright, now the Glee losers will perform some sad excuse of a song and bore us to tears. Enjoy," Sue smirked, before sitting down and letting the curtains open.
The six members of New Directions stood with their backs facing the audience. The guys turned around, wearing green button-ups without a tie and jeans, though Cody opted for skinny jeans.
The three guys sang out,
"Huh
Yeah, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha…"
Dawn grinned. The Backstreet Boys!
"I may run and hide
When you're screamin' my name, alright
But let me tell you now
There are prices to fame, alright
All of our time spent in flashes of light…"
The boys began dancing together, all doing the same moves. Everyone was clapping to the beat, recognizing this song from their childhoods.
"All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life!"
The tempo changed slightly and the girls turned around, each wearing variations of the boy's outfits. Hannah chose a pair of high-waisted linen shorts, Jordana opted for loose jeans, and Bailey was in some light wash capris.
Bailey grinned and sang out a much faster version of the song,
"Yeah
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way!"
Jordana grinned and belted out,
"But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way!"
The three girls sang in perfect harmony, dancing around the boys,
"Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way!"
The boys stepped out in front of the girls and sang,
"All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life!"
All of the members finished off with a belted out, 'I want it that way!"
Everyone clapped and Dawn grinned. Glee club so didn't suck.
"Man, I loved The Backstreet Boys when I was a kid!" Neal whispered to Theo, who nodded.
"Yeah, who didn't?"
"Glee club might not be so bad…" Neal tried.
"You're right man. You're right."
Meanwhile, Lorhin was going over the options in her head. She loved dance team, but did she have time for Glee too? That was it. She was going for it.
"Ladies and gentleman, please welcome our four newest members, Lorhin Althon, Dawn-Mae Boston, Neal Peterson, and Theo Lane!"
Bailey's smile was ear to ear. "See you guys? Now we only need two more members!"
"You were right," Hannah admitted with a rare smile on her face. Her outfit today consisted of a maxi dress and fringed leather vest.
"Well, one thing is for sure-" Oliver started, but was interrupted by Cody walking up to Neal.
"Hello, my name is Cody, nice to meet you," he winked, holding a hand for him to shake.
"You…too…dude…" he said, feeling awkward. This kid creeped him out. He ran a hand through his light brown (almost blonde hair) and narrowed his blue eyes at Theo, who was checking out Jordana from across the room. "Hey baby, you make basketball shorts look damn fine!"
"Get lost," she deadpanned. Lorhin and Dawn sat on the front row beside Bailey, and Theo and Neal sat beside James.
"Well guys, guess we have one thing to do…plan for Sectionals! Once kids see how cool we are, we'll have dozens of people flocking to the Glee club! Now I had a number in mind…" he began passing out sheet music. "From the top!"
Long chapter is long. Review?
