Hey guys! So here's the first official chapter! Hope you like it! Let me know what you think of what I did with your character. I hope I didn't disappoint anybody!
The halls of McKinley High were crowded as usual. It was the first day of school and both returning and new students scurried about finding classes, comparing schedules, and reconnecting with friends. However,Inside the principles office there was a very different atmosphere. A young man sat in a chair across from Principal Figgins awaiting the verdict.
"I suppose if you wanted you could restart the glee club. Just be warned that glee club hasn't been around for years. And the last glee club was fantastic, very hard to beat. You have some very big shoes to fill left by Will Shuester, and your hair isn't nearly as great as his. " Figgins replied as the young teacher in front of him bustled with excitement.
"Thank you sir. You won't be disappointed" The man rushed out of the office before Figgins could change his mind.
It didn't take him long before he had printed out a flyer for Glee Club and had it tacked on the bulletin board. Now all he had to do was wait for the sheet to be filled with names.
*GLEE*
Adelaide Braxton walked up to the bulletin board with a bundle of fliers in her hand. She grabbed a tack off the already cluttered board,and quickly scanned for a spot to hang her flyer. Luckily she found a spot In the middle of the board immediately tacking the flyer. The pink flyer stood out greatly against its dull white companions. "Missing Watch" read the large print as Adelaide quickly checked the flyer over once more for spelling mistakes. It had been her fathers idea to make a flyer. He had a Great business mind, after all he owned Braxton Corporations, a company that made everything from Athletic gear to gourmet chocolate. She had lost the watch her late grandmother has given her. It was extremely expensive and couldn't be replaced with all the money In her daddy's bank vault. It was her most valuable possession, and she just had to find it before some low life stoner pawned it for drug money.
Stepping back Adelaide noticed that her contribution to the packed bulletin board hung crooked. She pulled out the closest tack she saw to assist her in making the flyer straight. The paper, once held up by the tack now keeping hers in place, swiftly fell to the ground, landing by Adelaide's designer leather boots. She picked it up and glanced at the bold letters on the page. "Glee Club" it read. Adelaide loved to sing and dance, glee would be one more place her talent would be appreciated in this world. She wanted to be in glee. Scratch that, she wanted glee, and Adelaide always got what she wanted.

Skylar Perry was fabulous. He knew it, and by the time the naive junior was a senior, everyone would know it. However, Skylar lacked something that would grab people's attention. He Wasn't a sports star, and his keen Fashion sense simply wasn't appreciated among halls filled with sweatpants wearing slobs. He needed a hobby, a way to showcase his special talents. He needed to show the school who he was.
His drive to be the best is what brought him here. Standing in front of the schools bulletin board he scanned the different flyers. He knew this is where clubs posted sign ups, and thought this was the best place to start searching for a new hobby. He didn't see any flyers for a photography or creative writing club, two of his favorite hobbies. He adjusted his hated glasses, still scanning the ver cluttered board. That's when he saw it. The "Glee Club" signup sheet. Skylar loved music. When he moved to America from London at the age of 13, He had immediately fallen in love with the music here, especially Broadway. This is the club where his talents would flourish and he could become a star! He quickly signed his name up and turned around with a satisfied smirk when he felt the familiar sting of a slushy hitting his face. Unable to see, he flipped off the jock in the direction he assumed he went of in before making his way to the boys room.
*GLEE*
Connor Wilks walked out of the locker room still in his sweaty clothes. Football practice had only ended 5 minutes ago, but he didn't want to spend a minute longer in the locker room with the rest of the stuck up jocks in McKinley. If it wasn't for his love of the game, or his hope of a scholarship he would have quit a long time ago. Connor wasn't ready to go home yet. He never was. Where he lived couldn't even be called "home" in his opinion. There wasn't a mother, or a father, or anybody that even cared. His foster parents didn't care about him or any of the kids that lived there so he knew they couldn't care when he didn't get back until much later.
Connor bypassed the main entrance and headed towards the side doors where his car was parked. He wasn't paying much attention to where he was walking, instead focusing on what he would be doing with his friends that night. It was no secret that Connor hung out with a group that was into drugs, sex, and alcohol. However, Connor himself only touched pot and would never use alcohol. He had put up with a drunken foster father for too long to be interested in that stuff. Connor snapped back into a reality, albeit to late, as he had slipped on a puddle of slushy. Connor frowned. While never being slushied himself, he hated that jocks did it to the other students. Using the bottom of the bulletin board he pulled himself up. He wiped his sticky hand on one of the flyers before noticing another. "Glee Club" was printed across the top with the times the club would meet in a smaller font directly under it. Connor smirked and quickly signed his name up. It wasn't that Connor loved to sing or dance, it was the fact that glee club gave him another excuse to not go home. And he sure loved that.

"Well Jacob, I think it may be a good idea to join a club! A non-athletic club! It will make you a well rounded person and very desirable on college applications" Mrs. Pillsbury told the young freshman.
Jacob Clark stared at Mrs. Pillsbury. He was sitting in his office on a routine freshman meeting with a guidance councillor. He liked Mrs. Pillsbury. She was nice, pretty, and reminded Jacob of his late mother.
"What kind of club?" Jacob asked. He trusted her opinion even though he had just meet her.
"Well what are you interested in?" She asked him.
"I like to be in front of crowds where lots of people are cheering my name!" Jacob said thinking of his many fans who came to watch him run track.
"Glee Club!" Emma shouted forcing Jacob out of his day dream.
"What?" he asked
"Glee club is definitely the place for you. My husband used to run it before he made it on broadway. Those kids performed in front of huge crowds. People loved them...for the most part" Mrs. Pillsbury explained.
Jacob thought it over. He did love to sing and dance. Though, from what he heard glee club was definitely not super cool. What the heck, it might be fun.
"Sign me up" Jacob agreed as Emma squealed In excitement.
*GLEE*
Perrie Thomas and Jade Thirlie had things at McKinley figured out. They were juniors after all. They knew who was cool, and who was not. They knew who to avoid and who they could take advantage of (not that they did). However, when the two best friends stepped up to the bulletin board and found the glee signup sheet they were baffled. The hadn't had anything like it before at the school.
"What do you think?" Perrie asked Jade.
Jade, ever the smart one, thought carefully. Perrie and Jade had never cared to much about image. If so they would have been aware how odd a hippy, indie rock girl and a shy geeky girl looked walking around the hallways together. This was different though. Perrie and Jade were perfectly happy With the stereotypes they had now. Why would they change that to potentially become gleeks?
"It's a risk." Jade concluded.
"I like risks" Perrie replied smirking. She also loved to sing.
"I think we should do it. It could be fun" Jade reached for the pen to sign both of their names.
"Oh Gosh...don't look now. Here comes the cheery-hos." Perrie said loud enough so the group of Cheerios heard her.
The Cheerios turned around. The group headed by the infamous Ally Speed smirked.
"Clever did you think of that one yourself Or did Braces McBow tie whisper it in your ear?" Ally said taking a dig at Jade.
"I thought of it. But I must admit your slutiness inspired me." Perrie said before turning and walking away with Jade in tow.
"She's just jealous because your perfect." One of Ally's cheerleader friends said to cheer her up.
Ally knew it wasn't true. She was loose with guys. She Definitely was not perfect. What Perrie said has hurt. She wouldn't let that show though. Instead she stalked into the girls bathroom leaving the rest of the Cheerios behind. She sat on the floor of one of the stalls and thought about her life. She wasn't happy. Her life was falling apart and she couldn't stop it. She would do anything to be happy again. She wiped her eyes once she realized she was crying. She was Ally Speed for crying out loud. Everyone wanted to be her. She was Cheerio captain! She walked out of the bathroom into the hallway and saw that the other Cheerios had left. She made her way back to the bulletin board and smiled when she saw the glee signup sheet. She loved to sing. While it was dorky, Ally promised herself to do something to make herself happy again. She made sure no one was looking and then signed her name. She wasn't happy, yet. But she was content.
*GLEE*
Elena Hayes was late. This wasn't the first time, and it wouldn't be the last. She had wrecked her car yesterday Street Racing and had to take it to Eddie, her repair guy this morning to get it fixed. She has just stopped by her locker and was on her way to
Shop class when she saw Figgins coming around the corner. He had threatened to suspend her if her caught her being tardy one more time. Normally this wouldn't had fazed her, but being suspended meant having to stay home with her ailing father, and she didn't want that. There collision was inevitable so Elena threw herself in front of the bulletin board and tried to look busy.
"Ms. Hayes, out of class again! What have I told you? Always in trouble, why can't you be more like your brother?" Figgins scolded her. Elena gritted her teeth at the mention of her perfect brother. She couldn't stand him. He was a conformist goody-two shoes jock. If he was lucky he'd be more like her.
"Principal Figgins. I assure you. I wasn't tardy. I have been in class" Elena started to lie. "I finished all my work so Mr. Smith let me come out here so I could sign up for..." Elena stared at the board,"..Glee Club."
Elena quickly wrote her name down and showed Figgins hoping he'd believe her lie.
"Ms. Hayes, perhaps you are more like your brother. Very good. I hope you don't screw this up." Figgins turned and walked away, Elena flipped him off as he continued to walk down the halls.
She turned back and looked at her name on the Glee list. She had avoided trouble, but now she was forced to join Glee. Great, just great.
*GLEE*
Parker Hayes watched his sister walk away from the bulletin board and down the hallway after a run in with Figgins. She was always getting in trouble. She needed to straighten out. He knew she resented him because of his popularity. He didn't ask to be popular though. He loved playing soccer and when he was asked to go pro, the popularity was inevitable. If she would just straighten out perhaps she could be successful and popular too. Not that being popular mattered. It didn't. I'm fact sometimes it felt like a curse always being the Golden boy. Sometimes he just wanted to be free to be Parker, Not Ohios golden boy or soccer star or the boy who secretly took care of his father who was suffering from Alzheimer's.
He walked over to the bulletin board to observe closer what his twin sister had been doing. Though they didn't get along, Parker promised his father he would take care of Elena. Parker knew Elena always thought her father didn't care, but he did. He wished she would realize that before it was too late.
Glee Club? Why would Elena sign up for glee club? Did she like to sing and dance. Was she going to cause trouble within the glee club. Parker shook his head before signing up himself. He promised his dad he would watch Elena and keep her out of trouble. His love for
singing was just a bonus to this new arrangement.

Vanessa Summers and Karlia Moretti were sitting at the lunch table discussing who was the cutest one direction member. They were waiting on their friend Ally. Ally completed the trio of friends. However, it was a well known fact that Vanessa and Karlia were a million times closer to each other than either of them were to Ally. This was ironic because Ally was the reason the three of them started hanging out. Ally knew Karlia from the dance team while Vanessa was a Cheerio. Ally had invited both of them to hang out one Friday and the two had left having a closer bond with each other than Ally did with either girl.
"Hey guys!" Allysaid as she sat down and started eating her salad.
"Why are you In such a good mood?" Karlia asked with a faint Italian accent.
"If I tell you, you have to promise you won't get mad or tell anyone." Ally whispered.
"you can trust me. Remember I didn't tell anyone about the time you did it with Bobby Windon" Vanessa giggled.
"That was you not me. I never slept with Booby" Ally shot back.
"Oh..right. What is it though?" Vanessa put the conversation back on track.
"I signed us up for glee club!" Allie squealed.
"You did what?" the two other girls shouted.
"Come on it will be fun. We love to dance! Please" Ally pleaded.
"Fine" Vanessa gave in, "but you owe me."
"If anyone finds out about it, I will tell them that I was forced," Karlia warned.
"You guys are the best" Allie said taking another bite of her salad.
*GLEE*
At the end of the week the young glee club director collected the sign up sheet. 11 members. Almost enough to compete in sectionals. He grinned as he walked back down the hallway.
