Sue Sylvester paced furiously in her office clad with trophies. "You did what?" Sue asked her two newest cheerleaders.
"We joined the Glee Club" Emily said, not showing any trace of fear. Marissa, on the other hand, was a different story. Marissa was scared to tell Sue that Santana just blackmailed her, as she thinks both Sue and Santana are disguised devil-ettes.
"Wait" Emily started "We could be like, your spies"
"Not a chance, tried that last year, my three cheerleaders got sucked into all those show tunes, one even got knocked up! I blame it on that Will Schuester's ridiculous hypnotic hair" Sue said, all the while smirking.
"I assure you, that would never happen. I have hidden agendas too. Plus, I don't like grease in men's hair." Emily said.
Sue smiled evilly upon hearing that. "I like you Sassy Cheeks, but don't let me down. Same with you Ginger"
Marissa just nodded. But she was secretly relieved that her place at the Cheerios is not in jeopardy, for now.
"Get out of my office now" Sue instructed them.
Emily got up and went out the room, followed by Marissa
-McKinley High Cafeteria-
People at the cafeteria began to pour in when the clock struck 12:00. Among them was Ellis Wylie.
"Getting lost? The middle school's not here, kid" Finn said but not out of meanness, he really thought Ellis was still in middle school. But who can blame him?
"I'm 15, I swear I'm not 10" Ellis said looking annoyed. She then quickly scurried to find an empty seat.
"Can I sit here?" Ellis asked a girl.
"No, only High Schol Students are allowed in here." The girl replied then laughed with her friends.
"Jerks" Ellis mumbled.
"Hey! You can sit here!" A girl called out to her. Ellis approached the tabele. There was the tall girl with short hair, a guy who looked about 4'9", a tall guy wearing glasses who she shares Spanish Class with, the Irish student and the guy she's crushing on, Warren.
"Hey" Ellis said shyly.
"Hi! We are sort of the Underdog Support Circle" the tall girl said then picked up her book from an empty seat and gestured for Ellis to sit. "I'm McKynleigh Abraham, by the way" Mckynleigh extended her hand.
Ellis shook it. "I'm Ellis Wylie, I transferred here from Carmel about two weeks ago."
"Cool" Mckynleigh said. These are my friends: "Matheus" the short guy smiled. "Cameron, Damian, and Warren"
"Hello!" Damian said.
"Wow you've got a cool accent" Ellis said.
"He gets that a lot" Cameron said while smiling.
"Hey, I think I've seen you before" Warren said, examining Ellis. Ellis felt her cheeks turn red. She has been infatuated with the guy ever since Warren helped her pick up her books when she "suspiciously" stepped on a banana peel.
"Hmmm, I might've mistaken you for someone" Warren said then felt his phone vibrate, it was Emily. "Crap, gotta go, Glee practice" Warren said then rushed out.
"Wait, did he just say Glee?" MiKi asked.
"Yep, he told us about it yesterday" Cameron explained.
"Doesn't he know about that club's rep?" MiKi said.
"Yeah, he knows, he just got slushied this morning" Damian replied.
"Why did he join then?" Ellis asked.
"Well, he loves to sing, actually, all of us in this table do." Damian said. "Plus, he says he got hypnotized by Quinn Fabray's eyes"
"I would totally love to experience that" Cameron said with googly eyes.
"Great, he barely remembers me and he's crushing on the prettiest girl in school" Ellis thought to herself.
Matheus was content that he was staring at hot girls on the next table.
"I was planning to try out today, you know" Cam said out of the blue.
"What?" MiKi asked.
"I'll go with you" Ellis said.
"You sing too?" MiKi asked, stunned.
"Yeah, mostly show tunes and jazz" Ellis replied.
McKynleigh thought hard and made a mental note to herself to see for herself if she wanted to try out too and to drag Matheus and Damian along with her.
"Are you sure about this?" Damian asked Cameron.
"Of course, I love to sing, I know you do too" Cameron said.
"Okay, I'll see you at home then" Damian replied, shrugging it off.
"'Kay" Cameron said, trying to look upset. "I'll see yout at the auditorium by 1" Cam told Ellis.
"Sure" Ellis said with a smile.
-WMHS Auditorium-
MiKi dragged Matheus literally to the auditorium. "Where the hell is Damian anyway?" Matheus asked.
"Dunno, can't find him anywhere. Come on" Miki replied.
MiKi and Mathues tiptoed to the back of the big hall. They saw the entire Glee Club rehearsing. She saw Warren who was clearly having fun. She knew she would also be happy performing on the stage. But she didn't wanna risk being bullied. It's bad enough that she was considered invisible.
The auditorium doors opened and in came Cameron Mitchell.. The rehearsals took a quick break.
"Glad you could make it" Warren said to Cameron.
"Yeah, of course" Cameron said.
"Is this the new auditionee?" Sam Evans asked Warren.
"Yep" Warren replied and introduced the two.
"Hey Mr. Schue! The auditionee's here!" Sam shouted.
"Good luck dude" Warren told Cameron.
"Thanks" Cam replied. Cam took center stage and got his guitar out of its case.
"I'm Cameron Mitchell, and I'll be singing Stop This Train by John Mayer"
No I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind but...
I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly won't someone stop this train
"So freaking charming" Santana said.
"Unlike you" Emily quipped then grinned evilly. Santana glared at her.
Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can't take this speed it's moving in
I know I can't
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
(think I got 'em now)
Cameron finished his song and received applause. He scanned the auditorium, he saw Warren giving him a thumbs up and he saw a red headed girl, Marissa. Color drained from Cameron's face.
"You're In!" Mr. Schue said breaking Cameron's thoughts.
"Thanks" Cam mumbled then took a seat next to Warren.
"You okay?" Warren asked Cam.
"Yeah, Ok, Sure" Cameron stuttered.
Meanwhile, Marissa was asking permission from Mr. Schue if she could leave early because her grandparents are picking her up.
"Okay, just take care and study the song I gave you" Mr. Schue said then patted Marissa on the back. Marissa told a lie. She just wanted to avoid Cameron; she grabbed her gym bag, said goodbye to Emily and exited the hall.
"Okay, rehearsals again tomorrow, same time, same place" Mr. Schue. Everybody started to get out of the auditorium. MiKi and Matheus ran for it. Kurt and Rachel were debating about vocal ranges and Tina and Mike were cuddling.
"You sure you're ok?" Warren asked Cam again.
"Honestly, no, I'll tell you and Damo in the right time, See you later" Cameron said then got out.
-WMHS Gym-
Ellis's phone rang. It was Cameron.
"Where were you?" Cameron asked.
"I decided to try out for the Cheerios" Ellis answered.
Cameron did not know if he would laugh or feel bad for Ellis. "You can't do that"
"Why? Anyway you're too late, I'm already in the gym, see you tomorrow in my Cheerios uniform!" Ellis said excitedly.
Cameron just shook his head. Marissa was still on his mind.
Ellis smiled to herself, she knows getting in the Cheerios would skyrocket her popularity, not to mention a certain boy will pay more attention to her. Ellis watched as most of the girls before her cried because they did not make it.
"Next!" Sue shouted.
Ellis stepped in the middle of the court.
"Are you kidding me? I don't allow kindergarteners here" Sue said. She was clearly tired and bored.
"Hey Becky!" Ellis called out to Sue's assistant.
"Ellis! She always helps me in Speech Class, Coach" Becky said.
Sue stirred. Ever since her sister died, her soft spot for Becky intensified.
She seethed. "All right short stuff, show me what ya got….."
-Soccer Field-
Damian furiously kicked a soccer ball away. He just heard the news that Soccer was cut out of the budget to make room for Sue's Self Defense Club. Damian was fuming inside. He vowed to himself that he declares war against Sue. Damian's coach, Mr. Baxter, then called out to him.
"McGinty! Principal Figgins wants to see you!"
Damian can still see sadness in the eyes of his coach, he was gonna lose his job. Damian was fuming inside.
"Take a seat Mr. McGinty" The Principal instructed him.
Damian wanted to shout, but he isn't the type to blow up at people.
"I know you are upset that your soccer team has been cut" Figgins said.
"At least give me a valid reason" Damian said firmly.
"Well Sue turned in an appeal to the school board to start a Self Defense Club, the school board liked the idea, but they told me that I should cut one of the sport programs" Figgins replied.
"Why'd you choose us then?" Damian angrily asked.
"With all due respect, I chose the Soccer team because you haven't won a single match yet, and Sue advised me to" Figgins said.
Damian now understood. Sue cut the soccer team because of Sue's dislike for Mr. Baxter.
"Alright, to make things fair, I will give you a chance to regain your soccer team, but in the meantime you should join another club to sustain your extracurricular requirements." Figgins said.
"They cut my soccer team then they ask me to join another club. Great" Damian thought. He got up and slammed the door behind him. He wasn't like that. He was the happy-go-lucky nice guy. But soccer for him is a stress relief from the schoolwork, bullying and from him missing his parents. Well, Cameron and Warren are always there for him, but soccer is his personal haven. There was one more thing other than soccer though, singing. But only his friends knew about that.
Damian entered the shower room, took his clothes off and stepped into the shower.
Hey Jude don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Damian sang the opening lyrics. The sound of a locker closing made him stop. A blonde boy appeared. Damian knew him from the football games he watched before.
"Hi, I'm Sam"
"Damian" Damian said. For a second, Damian thought Sam might punch him.
Instead: "DO you want to join the Glee Club?" Sam asked.
Damian was taken aback, he didn't know a football player is also in the Glee Club.
"We can really use your voice man." Sam said.
Damian thought hard and told Sam he would think about it. He felt weird talking to a guy while he's in the shower. Damian put a green hoodie and jeans on. He exited the locker room and thought about Sam's offer. He thought about all the crap he's been taking from bullies and not fighting back. He thought about masking the loneliness he feels by his jolly demeanor all this time.
Acting on impulse, he went back to the locker room. "I'll join" he told Sam.
"Cool" Sam gave him the instructions.
"I'm gonna have some real fun for a change" Damian thought. It's like hitting two birds with one stone, he would sustain the requirement of joining another club and he would join the club a certain Sue Sylvester despises, who has become his archenemy from that day forward.
