Next chapter. Quite longer than usual. Took me ages to write. And there will be no updates tomorrow. I'm going to a wedding. I have to be up really early :(
Enjoy!
"Sue, why have you got the whole club here?" Mr Schue demanded, walking into the room when he saw her, completely drowned in slushie and he couldn't stop the laugh from coming," What happened to you?"
"I will have you know William that this," she gestured towards herself," is a result of your glee club playing practical jokes on unsuspecting victims like myself."
Mr Schue now looked to the twelve guilty faces kids who stood cramped on the other side of the office. As funny as it was, he had to make sure they knew that it was wrong," Guys, why did you slushie Coach Sylvester?"
"It wasn't meant for her," Mercedes admitted, receiving glares of annoyance from Kurt. Sue advance towards the girl, leaning her face closer," Then, who was it for?"
Nobody said anything, all looking down. Well, except for Rachel who seemed who have caught on that the original targets for this certain stunt and had no problem with letting that slip.
"I think," she began, eyeing Kurt," that it was intended for Puck, Finn and myself."
Figgins, Mr Schue and Sue all sighed. They all knew about the slushying problem that there seemed to be around the school but they never would have expected the usual victims to fight back and do exactly the same thing to another person.
"Why did you want to slushie these three?" Figgins asked, looking around at all of them.
Again, all the kids stayed tight lipped, even Rachel. Sue decided to take the lead, seeing as the two men in the room didn't have he ability to do so. As always, it was down to her.
"Puckerman. Hudson step forward," she ordered, watching as they both nervously took a step, separating them from the rest of the club. Glancing back at the group again, she spoke again," You too Hummel.
He joined Finn and Puck, gaining angry glares from the pair. Pacing back and forth, Sue gave the group one final stare," Join these three Miss Berry."
Rachel hesitated a moment, before stepping into the same line as the boys.
"These four," Sue said," are the reason for this, I'm sure."
"Sue, you don't know that," Mr Schue defended them.
"Apart from the writing on three of their heads and the other having an orange face and his hair cut ridiculously?" she looked towards Will, raising her brow.
He glanced over the four faces," Did you guys do this to each other?"
They all looked at each other, unsure of what to say. Of course, Rachel was the first to say something," Well, it was me and Puck who did those things to Kurt, and then it was the entire club that wrote of our heads, except for Finn. He wrote on his head himself."
She grinned proudly at the last bit, taking hold of his hand.
"But why?" he frowned, feeling a little disappointed that they would do something like this. And still, no on answered him," Look, if you don't tell me the reasons, I'll have to phone your parents up and get them to come here."
Rachel panicked upon hearing that," It was payback, for Kurt hypnotising us."
"Hypnotising you?" Sue butted in," Are you on some sort of drugs Berry?"
"No, he did! So, Noah and I found it in our best interests to seek some sort of closure on the issue, thus leading us to putting fake tan in his moisturiser and then we cut his hair. Noah tried to put dye in his toothpaste, though Kurt found it and dyed my hair purple. Then he got the rest of the glee club to pin us against the wall while he wrote on our heads," she pointed to the words on her forehead," And the only reason why Finn had something written on his head is because he was trying to cheer me up as I was very upset after the whole ordeal. I suppose this slushie was a feeble attempt of getting revenge on us as their earlier idea was a failure and Couch Sylvester accidentally walked in when it was meant to be us."
Mr Schue stared at her, mouth open," How did I not know about any of this?"
His question was followed by silence, and then Figgins spoke out," The matter is children, that Miss Sylvester was affected by these childish shenanigans you've engaged in and we have no other option than to call your parents in."
"All of our parents?" Artie frowned.
"No, not all of them," he looked towards the four who stood nearest to his desk," I am guessing that this is the fault of these four students, and just their parents will be phoned."
"Principal Figgins," Rachel interrupted," I do not think that this is fair at all. I have nothing to do with the slushie and therefore cannot be held responsible. Which is exactly the same for Finn and Noah. Kurt on the other hand..."
"Unfortunately Rachel, it is your's and Puck's actions which led to it, so you're partly to blame," Mr Schue informed her. A deep frown appeared on her face, but she said nothing else.
"Right, everyone else can go now. Will you four please take a seat?"
They did as he said, whilst the others left, not before giving them all a look of sympathy. Rachel was on the verge of hyperventilating. What were her parents going to say? She could hear principal Figgins on the phone, talking to Finn's mum at the minute, and she turned towards Kurt with a scowl on her face," I can't believe that you got me into trouble."
"You started this," he shot back, shooting his head in the other direction to emphasise that he didn't want to talk to her.
"No, Hummel, I blame you. If I get grounded for this, you're so going to pay."
"Do you think that's a good idea?" Finn inserted," It's that sort of thinking that got us into this whole mess. Remember?"
The four teenagers slumped down in their chairs, whilst Mr Schue and Sue argued, trying to hide it by whispering, though it was a failed attempt.
"I'm sure they didn't mean for this to happen to you Sue," he said, clearly annoyed by her already.
"And I am more than sure that you didn't intend for you hair to look to stupid, but guess what? It does!" she argued back, flicking his hair. All four teenagers rolled their eyes.
"Children, your parents are on their way. You can wait outside until they arrive at school," Figgins informed them. They trudged out of the room, each taking a seat in the room where the receptionist was. There was about a ten minute silence, as each was wondering what their parents were going to say, especially upon seeing their new appearances. Kurt was the first to speak.
"Oh, stop sulking Rachel. I'm sick of it already," he complained.
She huffed, narrowing her eyes at him," I am not sulking. I'm merely emphasising my anger with you at ruining my perfect record. This is the first time my parents have ever had to be phoned in for anything. Well, except for that time when I – never mind."
"Wait, what?" Puck looked at her confused," You got in trouble?"
"It was when I was eight," she explained," I may have tripped up this girl on purpose, causing her to fall and break her arm."
"Why did you do that?" Finn laughed.
"She got the lead role in a play. We were doing The Wizard of Oz and I really wanted to be Dorothy, but they were giving all the main parts to the older students. I ended up being a munchkin," she folded her arms, trying to forget the horrible memory.
Rachel tensed as she saw her dads making their way down the hallway, stepping into the same room as them," Rachel Berry, what have you got on your forehead?"
She immediately stood up," I erm, it wasn't me. It was, urm, it was a dare. As the glee club are having a little trouble getting along, we were given the whole rehearsal today to just find more out about each other and we ended up playing truth or dare, and I ended up being dared to write this on my head, as did Finn and Noah."
Kurt stared at Rachel with his brow furrowed in confusion. Had she just lied to her fathers so he didn't get in trouble off them? Her parents shared a look," Well, why haven't you washed it off yet? I am not going to let a daughter of mine walk around school with things written on her head."
"It's in permanent ink daddy," Rachel said, looking down at the floor. She hated being in trouble with her parents, though it was a very rare occasion.
Hiram sighed," And I suppose this is the reason why we've been called here today. You know that we expect better from you Rachel."
"I know," she said quietly," Although you're here because I've been falsely accused of slushying Coach Sylvester."
"Rachel..." Leroy began, looking his daughter in the eye.
"Daddy! It wasn't me. Coach Sylvester assumed that I had something to do with it due to the fact that I have writing on my head."
"It surely is a coincidence," he began, baring down at her. She pouted, trying to look as innocent as possible. As usual, her fathers bought it," Okay sweetie. We'll straighten this whole mess out."
A huge smile spread across her face, and they headed into Figgins office. Rachel turned to the three boys, returning to her seat.
"Woah Berry, you have them wrapped around your little finger," Puck commented, staring at her smug face.
"I know," she replied, turning her attention to three parents advancing towards them now. Puck's mother just looked angry, whereas Carole and Burt both appeared worried.
"What have you done this time Noah?" Puck heard his mum ask, rolling his eyes," It wasn't me okay? Kurt slushied Miss Sylvester and I'm getting the blame for it 'cause he wrote man slut on my head!"
She gave a long sigh, shaking her head before joining the Berry's in Figgins office. This was a regular occurrence for her. Finn looked up at Carole, feeling ashamed all of a sudden," Look, mum, I'm really sorry for you having to come out from work for this."
"I'm really disappointed in you," she frowned," Why did you do it?"
Kurt glanced at Finn, speaking up for him," It was my idea Carole. Finn had nothing to do with it. And neither did Puck or Rachel."
They all glanced over at him gratefully. However, this left Burt to bare down at his son," Kurt, this isn't you. Why did you feel the need to do this?"
He didn't know what to say. Rachel got an idea," Actually Burt, it was mine and Noah's fault. You see, we were all caught up in an extremely heated prank war, hence the writing on our foreheads, and Kurt looking well, orange, but the slushie was meant for us, and Coach Sylvester was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And I'm sure he already feels terrible about it. I think you shouldn't be too hard on Kurt. He was just caught up in the moment."
"Oh, well...thank you Rachel," Burt said. He and Carole were the last to go into the office, and soon the parents were in a long discussion about how their children were going to reprimand their actions.
"You didn't need to do that Rachel," Kurt told her.
She shrugged," I know, but I think we should share the blame. After all, if we would have just left you alone, none of this would have happened."
He smiled," Yeah, but I didn't have to retaliate. Sorry about writing on your head. The rest of the club feel guilty for doing that. I'd be expecting eight apologies sometime today."
"I should hope so," Rachel said, looking back into the office," What do you think is going to happen?"
"The usual," Puck stepped in, the most experienced in this field," Your parents come out. Tell you not to do it again and that's it."
Rachel gave a gasp, suddenly realising something," What if this goes on my permanent record? I will never become a Broadway star with this haunting me through my life."
Finn wrapped his arm around her, trying to reassure her," Don't worry. It'll be fine. They don't bother putting stuff like this on your record."
"You're sure?"
He nodded, completely certain. The sound of the door opening caught their attention and their heads shot to it. Mr Schue stood there," You guys can come in now."
They slowly made their way in, standing behind their parents. Figgins spoke," Children, we have decided that we are going to put this little event behind us, as long as you apologise to Miss Sylvester and clean up your mess. Oh, and you will have detention for a week."
"Detention?" Rachel looked as though someone had stolen all her prized possessions.
"Yes," Sue said," Although the amount of time is a little disappointing. If it were up to me, you four would have been expelled."
"But it is not up to you Sue!" Figgins glared at her, returning to the parents," Thank you for your time. You may go."
There was a mutter of "thank you"s from the parents as they left the room, their children following unwillingly. Except for Puck, who was happy the one week of detention. It was an improvement on last time.
"Rachel," Leroy began," We want you to know that what you did was wrong, and are therefore grounded for a whole week."
"Grounded? Daddy, please no. Not that. Anything but that," she begged.
"You know I hate doing it, but you have to learn. I'll be confiscating all of your musicals until your grounding is over."
"Fine!" she huffed, storming ahead of them. Kurt laughed," She always was dramatic."
Carole glanced at the two boys," You do realise that you're grounded too?"
"What?" they said in unison.
"For two weeks," Burt said sternly. There was a groan from both, though they followed without saying another word.
One more chapter left :D I might write a story about each day of their detention, but I'm not sure. Should I?
Review! I lurrve them.
