A/N: Hey everyone! I am so bored just resting and being on tumblr that I decided to make the new chapter today. I'm so glad some of you took the time to answer the questions. You guys are the best. I'm sorry I wasted your time. Haha. I'm so nervous I haven't read them yet. But I will definitely read them later after I write this chapter. I'll incorporate your suggestions into the following chapters, but my ideas are still prominent. Anyway, this chapter focuses on some of the characters I feel I haven't explored enough yet on the past chapters and some new storylines. So read and Review
McKynleigh and Matheus stayed behind in the choir room after everyone else has left. They were there to practice their duet.
"So Miki, what do you think should we sing? The duets competition is fast approaching." Matheus said.
"Chill out Matheus. I am thinking." MiKi said.
Matheus shrugged then slumped. He knew how Miki was when she gets upset.
A boy then entered the room.
MiKi perked up immediately.
It was Samuel Larsen.
"Hello there, short stuff." Samuel greeted Matheus with his trademark smirk.
Matheus just rolled his eyes.
Samuel then turned to MiKi. He smiled charmingly. "What was your name again?"
"M-McKynleigh." MiKi said, stuttering.
"That's a hella mouthful of a name, but it's gorgeous." Samuel said with a mischievous smile. His face got close to McKynleigh.
McKynleigh felt her blood rush to her cheeks. "T-thank you." She said, looking down to avoid eye contact.
Samuel ran his hand through his hair then chuckled. "Anyway, I was wondering if you could do me a favor?" he said.
"Sure, what is it?" MiKi asked.
Matheus shook his head and sighed.
Samuel showed MiKi the box he was carrying. It was full of papers and folders. "Do you think you could deliver this box to the principal's office?" Samuel said, still smiling.
"Sure, no problem." MiKi replied.
"Thanks." Samuel said then winked.
Once he turned around, his facial expression drastically changed. He was suddenly scowling.
"Another pathetic girl" he thought.
He was met by Emily at the door. Emily kissed him at the cheek and they walked off arm in arm down the hallways.
Miki felt jealousy building up inside of her but she pushed it away knowing that Emily has a rep of breaking boys' hearts. Maybe when Samuel's heart is broken, MiKi can help him fix it.
Matheus saw MiKi's face and sighed. "You are totally smitten." He teased.
"Who wouldn't be? He is gorgeous." MiKi said dreamily.
"Whatever, you're hopeless. He's already with Emily." Matheus said.
"I'll get him sooner or later." MiKi replied.
"You won't get him if you can't even talk to him without stuttering or blushing." Matheus said.
"W-Well, I'll work on that." MiKi said.
"Let's work on our duet first, please." Matheus said, it is clear he was annoyed.
"Okay." MiKi said flatly.
She'll get Samuel Larsen.
-School Corridors-
Emily and Samuel walked through the hallways with pride.
Pretty soon, they'll be the school's power couple and everybody would want to be like them.
Samuel's got to hand it to Emily though. She was an amazing evil mastermind.
The rumors that the Lopez Family has powers of manipulation and deceit must have been true.
Samuel and Emily finally arrived at the school gym.
Emily kissed Samuel on the cheek, making sure a bunch of other kids can see them.
"Bye babe. See ya later." Emily said then she walked towards the gym, her hips rocking.
Samuel smiled at her. He knew they were only doing it for show.
Samuel's life hasn't been perfect.
His parents clearly preferred his older brother, Michael than him.
He always sought attention from his parents, but not exactly in the right ways.
He was involved in gang fights and breaking into people's houses.
And that was only when he was in junior high. He was surprised his parents haven't sent him to military school.
Now he's in high school, his rebellion decreased but not necessarily disappeared.
He was held back after failing all of his classes.
He is an occasional secret drug user.
Music is the only thing that helps him escape reality.
Despite all of this, the girls at school happen to fall under his charm.
That wasn't for long though. Because when the cute boy with the Irish accent arrived in McKinley High, almost half of Samuel's fan base seemed to defect to Team Damian.
Samuel felt that Damian and he were like the Edward and Jacob of the school.
He did not like sharing the spotlight at all.
He will rule the school in only a matter of time.
Things would be much different under King Samuel's reign.
Much, much different.
-School Gym-
Ellis wishes things would be much more different.
She most certainly did not think that joining the Cheerios would mean that she gets to distribute water bottles and manage the sound system. At first she did not mind, her popularity is soaring anyway.
But she was getting fed up of it.
The only time she actually performed was when one of the cheerleaders had Stomach Flu due to Sue's Master Cleanse and she was so far in the back nobody actually knew she existed in the routine.
Then there she was again, sitting on the bleachers. It was the Cheerios' After School Practice. She's pretty sure she will distribute water bottles and play the CD once she was signaled.
She was sick of it. She swallowed her pride and decided to ask Coach Sue if she can perform and dance with the others.
She approached her coach. Sue was writing something on her little clipboard.
"Um… Coach Sylvester?" Ellis asked hesitantly.
"Oh hey there baby. And when I say baby, I mean that literally." Sue said.
Ellis sighed in frustration. "Can I cheer with them?" she said, closing her eyes and pointing to the dancing cheerleaders.
"Look, I told you I am gonna wait till your growth spurt finally activates on you. I can't let a child cheer. You need a few more inches. Unless you wear high heels while cheering then I might just consider it." Sue said. "Now, those girls need hydration, go on."
Ellis pouted and walked back to where the bag of water bottles was. She wondered if Sue would actually let her cheer in time.
Ellis more often than not got what she always wanted.
She'll admit, she is one spoiled kid but that doesn't make her a brat.
She knows she could tell her daddy to buy Sue's decision of letting her cheer but she wanted to get through high school all by herself.
She knows she's tough. Going through years of teasing can make you as tough as nails.
"Hey! Where's my water?" Santana shouted from the court.
Instead of starting to distribute the water bottles, she took the megaphone.
"I won't give you your water. You should go come and get them yourselves, since you are all so tall." Ellis said sarcastically making the word tall sound dramatic. She then quickly exited the gym quickly.
Ellis was sure she'll get crap for what she did but she didn't care, she was proud she stood up for herself.
Ellis was sure she's already out of the Cheerios.
She needed another place where she'll feel she'll be welcome.
She racked her brain.
"Warren.
Glee Club!
That's it, Glee Club." Ellis thought. "Goodbye popularity."
-Emma Pillsbury's Office-
Alex was sitting on the Guidance Counselor's office. He was twiddling his thumbs.
Emma was making coffee in her coffee maker.
She lifted the pot of the brewed coffee and poured a cup for herself and a cup for Alex.
"So what did you want to talk to me about, Alex?" Emma asked him. Her voice was very soothing.
Alex immediately lost some of the tension he was feeling.
He took a sip of the coffee. It was sweet.
"Oh lawd, this is some fine coffee." He thought then he faced Emma.
"I am crushing on this person…." Alex started.
"Uh-huh…." Emma said, encouraging him to speak.
"…..but it turns out they are in love with someone else." Alex finished.
Emma smiled. "That's a tough one, isn't it?" she said. "Wait, I have a pamphlet."
Emma gave Alex a pamphlet.
Alex eyed the pamphlet, it has a weird title.
"Your problem is actually very common Alex. Tell me more about this person." Emma said.
"Well, he's really cute and I feel he's the only one who'll understand me." Alex replied.
Emma caught on with the word 'he', she kind of knows what the case is.
"Why do you think that?" Emma asked him, taking a sip of coffee.
Alex did not know if Emma knows that he's gay.
"Because we are the only two people I know who are like that in school." Alex said.
Emma didn't want to push it but she took a chance. "Like what?"
"Gay." Alex said. He sighed heavily.
Emma smiled. "And this boy's name is?"
"Kurt Hummel." Alex replied.
Emma knew that. "Look Alex, Kurt has been through rough times but he stayed strong. I can totally understand why you got attracted to him. This is always tough and never easy to answer. Nothing in the world that is free is as valuable as love presented to another person. All you can do is show your very best and if that person does not reciprocate then you have done all you can do. It is up to you when you feel you should move on but don't waste something as valuable as your love when it will not be returned. Consider the fact that you are a wonderful person for wanting to share love in the first place and many, many a good person out there would gladly share it with you and need it too." Emma advised him.
Alex nodded. He thought that Emma's speech was long but he did get the message.
He knew his chances to be with Kurt are really slim but he wants to take a chance.
Yeah, he was stubborn like that.
Alex thanked Emma.
Emma smiled at him reassuringly.
Alex is heading home. He's gonna have to switch off his gay self again because his father is coming home from an overseas trip.
He sighed.
-Cameron's House-
Cameron walked into his house. He was early today because he didn't have his last period. There was no substitute available.
He tiredly walked up to his room and threw his bag on the floor.
He knew Damian has a date with Lindsay and Warren has violin practice so he would be alone for a few more hours.
He laid down on the bed and put his hands to his face.
He did not know what to think of him and Marissa anymore.
Suddenly, he heard and his father and mother's voices arguing from the other room.
"Not again." He thought. He has heard them argue before but they always seem to make up afterwards.
"I'm sick of pretending we still love each other for the sake of the kids! I have caught you cheating Gordon and I'm not having it again!" Cameron's mom shouted from the next room.
Cameron felt his heart sink. So all along, his parents were just pretending to still love each other?
"Calm down Laura. Think of our son. You know he's fragile." His dad said.
"I want a divorce Gordon! I'm sure Cameron will understand me once I explain everything to him." His mom said.
He heard a door slam shut followed by footsteps running after each other.
Cameron's tears were uncontrollable.
His tears were flowing but his face didn't show any emotion.
He can't think about anything anymore. He felt angry, depressed and confused.
He needed someone. Anyone.
