When Mr. Schue had bought me and himself a burger, we sat in his car and ate it. At first no one of us knew what to talk about, but then he broke the silence.
"So… Is Lex your full name?"
"No, it´s Alexandria… to pretty if you ask me."
"What do you mean to pretty?"
"In books, people with long, beautiful names are always the rich ones. The most popular ones at school, the ones who gets whatever they want. The girls have long, beautiful hair, mostly black or blonde, they´re skinny. They have lovely eyes. They´re… perfect. I´m neither pretty or rich. Shortly said, I´m more of a Lex then of an Alexandria."
"What makes you think that you´re not pretty?" Mr. Schue looked thoughtful.
"No one´s ever called me pretty."
"Let me tell you a story, a few years ago. One of my earlier glee-members happened to broke the nose on another member. They were dancing and he stretched his arm to far back, and hit her in the nose."
"Ouch."
"They happened to be ex- boyfriend and girlfriend. Nowadays, the boy- Finn. Were a couple with a other girl in glee- club- Quinn. Who happened to be the girls- Rachel´s enemy. The doctor that Rachel went to gave her advice to make a nose- surgery. Just to make it look better. Rachel wanted to make it look like Quinn´s nose, she wanted Finn to love her again. Finn tried to convince her not to do the surgery, I tried, all of the others members tried. At last, one of her best friends, preformed the song Barbra Streisand… in the middle of a shopping center." Mr. Schue smiled. "And they succeeded. Rachel never did a surgery. And later that week, we preformed the Lady GaGa song "born this way" were all the members, including me and Ms. Pillsbury, made T-shirts with something about what we didn´t like of ourselves."
"What did you write?"
"Rachel wrote nose, Finn wrote Can´t dance."
"What about Quinn, the friend of Rachel, you and Ms. Pillsbury?"
"The friend of Rachel- Kurt, wrote likes boys. I wrote butt chin, Emma wrote OCD, Quinn wrote… Lucy caboosey."
"What?"
"Long story. What so you think? Should I buy some shirts and maybe we can perform born this way."
"That would be cool."
"Wait a minute by the way. I´ve got some sheet music here. He opened his bag, pulled some papers out, riffled, and pulled out a paper.
"I think you should perform this song on glee this Tuesday."
"Pretty/unpretty? I know this song."
"Rachel and Quinn preformed that the same week as we preformed born this way. I think it would fit you."
"Thanks Mr. Schue. Stop, this is my house." Mr. Schue stopped the car in the driveway to my house.
"your dad´s home?"
I nodded. "Thanks for the burger."
"you´re welcome. See ya´ on Monday."
"See ya Mr. Schue."
Mr. Schue´s pov
I had been so close, maybe just one more question I had got to know Lex´s secret. I had seen the pain in her eyes for the first time today. So maybe I had managed to gain some trust… just maybe."
