AN: Not a usual character for me, but I think I did okay. Inspired by lyrics from"Me Vs. The World" by Halo Friendlies


I stepped off the bus and took a few steps before pausing to stare at the building before me. This was it. This was my year. No more living in others shadows or being the supportive girlfriend. I was a senior this year, and I was a good singer, I was determined to get the attention that I deserved. As for Mike, yes I still missed him but he had made his choice. He felt that it would be better for us to take some time apart and discover who we are. Well so be it. I didn't need him. I was a strong woman and didn't need a man in my life to be happy.

Truth was, I was tired of being the good girl. The person who just smiled and went along with everything because it was for the good of the group. I was tired of being stepped on by others. This year I planed on being myself and striving for the success that should be mine. I would fight tooth and nail for the solos in Glee, put my all into the audition for the school musical, and was going to apply to the colleges that I had chosen over the summer months.

By the time June rolls around people at McKinley are going to know who Tina Cohen-Chang is, whether they want to or not.
