A/N: I am so sorry but this chapter is literally terrible I don't know what to do from here, maybe this story has run its course.

I DO NOT OWN GLEE!

The remainder of the summer had went by quickly for the Schuester family. Sam had slowly began to accept his new way of life and had even made Cami his girlfriend. Finn and Quinn had settled into an apartment near OSU and were for now happy. Puck and Mike were nearly bouncing off the walls that they were entering their senior year and couldn't believe they were almost finished with high school. Brittany, Santana, and Sam were happily going to be starting their junior years and they could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Kurt was ecstatic to be starting at Dalton Academy as a sophmore with Blaine. As for Rachel she was bouncing around the house in her excitement over being in the third grade.

"Mommy do I look pretty?" Rachel asked pulling on her mother's pant leg to get her attention.

Shelby turned from pouring herself a coffee and looked at her little girl. "You look very cute sweetie." She smiled looking at Rachel in her little pair of blue jeans and her favorite flower t-shirt.

Rachel grimaced and crinkled her nose "Mommy I am in the third grade now and that means pretty and not cute." The little girl huffed marching over to the table and pouring herself a bowl of cheerios.

Shelby sighed her baby was going through that satge of wanting to be older than she actually was. "Honey I meant you look gorgeous."

"Thanks Mommy!" The usual beautiful smile lit up Rachel's face and she munched happily watching as her older siblings marched into the room.

Sam smiled sitting down next to Rachel and ruffling her hair "I'm gonna pick you up today so be ready to go when I get to school." Sam smiled as Rachel huffed and smoothed her hair back down.

"Mom we have Cheerios until six tonight." Brittany informed her mother sitting down at the table but not looking up from her cell phone.

Shelby looked towards her youngest son and felt tears in her eyes he looked so handsome in his private school uniform. "Kurt are you alright driving Puck's car down to school today."

Kurt rolled his eyes at his mother's nervousness "I promise I'll be fine Mom."

"Alright guys I've got to go I expect one of you to drop Rachel off." Shelby announced grabbing her bags and kissing her children "Have a great day and make good choices!."

"Alright Rachie pie , Jesse ,you two kiddos do super awesome today." Mike told the two eight year olds who were grabbing their backpacks to hoist onto their small shoulders.

"We'll be the best third graders ever!" Jesse shouted excitedly grabbing Rachel's hand and smiling so wide it looked as if his face might burst.

Mike smiled at the adorable pair before grabbing the teeny brunette and pulling her in for a tight hug and kissing her forehead. "Bye princess I'll see you after school."

Rachel smiled and hugged her older brother tighter "Bye Mikey." She skipped off with her best friend without a second glance back towards her brother. Rachel was most certainly growing fast.

"Blaine are you sure joining the Warblers is a good idea?" Kurt asked nervously pulling on his messenger bag strap and brushing the bangs out of his eyes nervously. The new school was great so far, the kids were much kinder but the classes were harder. Kurt just wasn't sure if joining the Glee club was the right move to make however.

Blaine frowned deeply and put a hand on his boyfriend's arm to stop him "Babe you'll be great I just know it." Blaine told him picking up his pace as they were making it to the great room for the first Warbler practice."

Kurt gulped nervously as they walked into the room and all the boys looked up turning a scrutinizing eye on to the two boys.

Practice went well, but after it was over and Blaine was talking to his best friends a cute blonde haired boy walked up to Kurt who was gathering his things. "Hello my name is Cory." The boy smiled brightly extending a pale hand for Kurt to shake.

"Hi Kurt." Kurt returned the smile and handshake. Kurt was extremely happy that people were actually being nice to him.

The boy suddenly leaned in extremely close and whispered in Kurt's ear. "Listen I know you are with Blaine but if you ever want to...I don't know hang out just text me from the Warblers phone tree."

"Um thank you but I really care about Blaine and I cannot hurt him like that." Kurt told him nervously in a hushed tone so his boyfriend wouldn't hear. " I am in the market for new friends though, so if you want to be my friend I would be happy to embark on a friendship."

The blond's face fell slightly but he quickly turned it into a small smile. "That sounds nice."

"Friends?" Kurt asked smiling slightly.

"Friends." Cory agreed shaking Kurt's hand again and winked at him.

Kurt watched him walk away and went over to join Blaine. "Hey Blaine I've gotta get home." He told his boyfriend kissing his cheek and waving goodbye to David and Wes.

"Bye Babe. I'll see you tomorrow okay." Blaine whispered sweetly pulling Kurt in for a mushy kiss, ignoring his friends cat calls. "Love you babe."

"Love you to Blaine." Kurt smiled walking out to the car one thing on his mind "Dalton Rocks."

Sam was frowning deeply as he made his way to his last class of the day so far his day had sucked. At Mckinley you were truly a nobody if you weren't on the Cheerios or the football team, Sam was not on the team anymore and therefore was a nobody.

"Move it loser!" Karofsky shouted pushing Sam painfully into the row of steel lockers behind him making him wince despite himself. "You may have been on top when you were Quarterback blondie but you're not anymore so deal." He shouted shoving him once again."

Sam got up ignoring the looks he was getting from his classmates and went to his class telling his teacher that he was having chest pains and needed to see his father. The only good thing about his heart condition was that he could get out of anything by saying his chest was hurting. Walking into his father's classroom, his father had his last period free, Sam sat down sighing heavily.

Will looked up and pulled his glasses off looking at his son slump himself into one of the chairs in the front row of seats. "Sam you doing alright buddy?" He asked worriedly glancing at his son's distraught face.

"I am nothing anymore Dad." He sighed feeling heaviness in his heart "I miss being on top."

Wil got up from his desk moving quickly to take the seat next to his son and putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I know it's hard but everything happens for a reason."

"Dad what can possibly be good about this?" Sam asked groaning slightly, his father was always so optimistic about every damn thing.

Will smiled brightly " I don't know kid that is for you to find out."

"Jesse we should go play on the swings." Rachel squealed excitedly pulling on Jesse's hand to make him follow her.

Rachel smiled brightly when she spotted a tiny black haired girl sitting on a swing with wide eyes. Rachel noticed the girl from her class and knew she was new and didn't have any friends. Smiling brightly Rachel sat down next to the girl " Hi my name's Rachel and you are in our class." She said indicating herself and her best friend.

"Hi I'm Molly and I really like your shirt." She said smiling back at the brave little brunette.

Rachel squealed and clapped her hands excitedly "This is going to be great the three of us can be best friends like the three musketeers."

"Yeah!" Jesse jumped in the air happily and pounded his fist in the air he loved Rachel and if having a new friend made her happy it made him happy too."

Molly smiled and jumped off her swing hugging Rachel tightly "Thank you for being so nice to me."

Rachel shook her head her Mommy always said that she needed to be nice to people because you never knew what someones life was like until you walked a day in their barbie sneakers. " You don't have to thank me the three of us are going to be great friends."

Shelby smiled brightly as she set dinner on the table as she looked around at her children and husband talking animatedly about their respective days. Family was the one thing that Shelby loved more than anything and all day she hadn't thought about anything except making her family dinner and talking to them about their lives.

"How was everyones day?" Shelby asked sitting in her normal seat next to her husband and squeezing his knee softly underneath the table.

Rachel bounced in her seat making the family laugh at her excitement "Mommy I made a new friend today and her name's Molly and she's from Maine." Rachel squealed, her bright brown eyes shining in excitement "Now I am a member of the three Musketeers and I want to spend the night at Molly's house."

Shelby and Will smiled at each other relishing in their little girl's excitement "We will have to talk to Molly's parents but if they say you can then that's fine sweetie." Shelby turned to Kurt and beamed "How was your day darling?"

Kurt grinned and put his fork down "It was awesome the kids are so nice there and the Warblers are so cool."

Puck was happy that his little brother had finally escaped his bullies "That sounds great kiddo."

Mike nodded agreeing with his best friend/ brother "Puck and I had an awesome day to seeing as the only class we have to pass is English." Mike said excitedly taking a gulp of water and sighing in contentment.

"Cheerios sucked Mom, coach Sue made us run for like an hour before we even started stretching." Brittany whined pathetically stabbing her food forcefully while grimacing in pain.

Santana agreed rubbing her head and downing her glass of water "I hate that Woman."

Will agreed with his children but didn't say anything because he knew that his girls loved being members of the cheerleading team, even if they like to complain about it.

"Sammie how was your day?" Rachel asked looking over to the other side of the table hoping to get her very silent brother talk about something.

Sam frowned deeply and ran a hand through his golden locks "I'd rather not talk about it Princess." He told her sullenly looking across the table at his mother's worry etched face he sighed "It was fine I am just not used to sitting for seven hours."

Shelby smiled and listened to the hustle and bustle around her, she had missed her family today and loved them more than anything.
