Finn told everyone about what Rachel did to Sunshine, they were all pretty pissed. I was pleased with myself. I knew that rumour was true! Sunshine left McKinley today, Sue called Carmel High and asked them to make an irresistible offer to Sunshine and her mom, so she can be on Vocal Adrenalin.
We are all waiting for Rachel to turn up for Glee Club. Everyone was waiting in the choir room, just chatting and doing whatever. I was talking to Britney and Santana. We're kind of back on talking terms now; she was saying how it was weird to be back on the bottom of the pyramid because she hadn't done that since we were on the JV squad.
"That's too bad. You won't be getting anymore plastic will you?" I said.
"Nope."
"It won't be long. I personally don't care about the surgery, I'm pissed that you fought me. But the rest is all Sue. She wants you on the bottom. You belong on the top; I could tell by the way that Sue was looking at our pyramid that she thinks so too. You'll be back up the top in a little bit." Rachel walked through the door and we began the class.
"Alright guys, so you all know that we lost our newest member today, so we really need to find a replacement. We can't compete with eleven members." Mr Schue was talking mainly to Rachel. I would to; the dwarf is the one that got rid of her. Rachel performed 'What I did for love.' She said she'd been rehearsing it and blah blah blah. I swear my mind actually turns off when she's speaking. She did the song well, but she didn't send Sunshine to a crack house because she loved us.
"Hey Mom! I'm home." I say as I walk through the front door.
"Hi sweetie how was your day?"
"It was alright. I think San and I are talking again. How was your day?"
"Good. I made roast chicken for tea. Do you mind setting the table while I got the store to get some groceries?" She grabbed her purse from the bench.
"Sure Mom. I'll see you when you get back." I kissed her on the cheek and she walked out to her car.
My phone started ringing; I rummaged through my bag looking for it.
"Quinn Fabray." I say.
"Q. It's Coach Sylvester. Just ringing to tell you that we are putting the pyramid back to the way it was. I don't like having Santana on the bottom, it throws out the whole group dynamic."
"Okay."
"Make sure that everybody knows that it's for the sake of the team, and my 'No Plastics' policy still stands."
"Okay Coach. See you tomorrow."
"Bye Q."
I check my timetable when I reach my locker. Period 1; Glee Club. Choir Room.
I walk to the choir room and sit down. I'm late. Whoops.
"Alright. Who can tell me who Christopher Cross is?" Mr Schue asked.
"He discovered America." Britney said. Is she actually being serious? Oh my Gosh? And Finn agreed?!
"Close. He did write an iconic chart topper, 'Sailing.'"
"Never heard of him, don't wanna hear about him." Tina said under her breath. I'm not sure if Will heard her or not, he acted like he didn't.
"Now, some people think of the term 'easy listening' as a bad thing, but I'm gonna let this music speak for itself. You guys love Lady Gaga and the Rolling Stones and you guys are really good at putting it all out there, but really good music can also be controlled and restrained." He walked around handing out the sheet music and stopped when he got to me.
"It can let them come to you." He said. My heart began racing, I thought he was going to do something really stupid, but he didn't, thank Goodness. He's so cute; he's got the most adorable eyes.
"How could you get caught between the moon and New York City? They're like a hundred miles apart." Finn said. He really is that thick. I can't believe I dated him, and thought about raising a child with him.
"Mr. Schue? If I may. I think I speak for all of us when I say it's not that we don't love the idea of spending a week on this silky smooth Adult Contemporary, it's just that, as teens, this isn't the easiest music for us to relate to. However, there is a burgeoning Facebook campaign that has swell to over five members. The ardent demand: that this week, at the fall homecoming assembly, the McKinley High School Glee Club performs a number by... wait for it... Ms. Britney Spears." Kurt was right.
"Spears, Spears, yeah." Artie was so funny. I actually like him.
"Sorry, Kurt, Kurt, sorry. No, no, no. I don't think she's a very good role model." What was Mr Schuester talking about?
"But, Mr. Schue, we kind of grew of up with her." Rachel said.
"She's literally why I wanted to become a performer." Tina joined in.
"I don't want to do Britney." We all turned to look at our Brittany.
"Why no Britney, Brittany?" Kurt asked.
"Because my name is also Brittany Spears." What?
"What?!" Will was as confused as all of us.
"What the hell is she talking about?" Mercedes asked.
"My middle name is Susan, my last name is Pierce. That makes me Brittany S. Pierce. "Brittany Spierce." I've lived my entire life in Britney Spears' shadow. I will never be as talented or as famous. I hope you'll all respect that I want Glee Club to remain a place where I, Brittany S. Pierce, can escape the torment of Britney Spears." Is she serious?
Mr Schue pounced at the opportunity to get out of doing Britney. "Well, there you have it, guys. It's been decided- no Britney. Sorry."
"Thanks, Britt. Thanks a lot." Kurt said, as he rolled his eyes. Santana immediately jumped to Brittany's defence.
"Leave Brittany alone." I can't actually believe that Brittany is being serious.
"Thank you for understanding. It's been a hard road."
"Um, can we move on?" Rachel said.
"Yes. Let's talk about Michael Bolton." Mr Schue answered.
"Wait, weren't we talking about Christopher Cross?" I ask.
"Yes. You all need to learn your part for that number. I think it's a definite candidate for our Regional's set list."
"Can we just use this lesson to rehearse that then? I think we're all a little bit confused about the Britney/Brittany situation." Finn said.
"Yeah, that's a good idea Mr Schue." Puck agreed.
"Okay. You can use this to rehearse the number. Get into small groups and look at your parts."
This is the worst song; it's not even nearly good. We spend the rest of the lesson talking, after we ran through the song a few times.
"Quinn. Can I see you for a bit please?" Mr Schue says as everyone is getting up to leave when the bell sounds.
"Sure Mr Schue."
"How are you?" He asks.
"I'm good. Russell came over the other night, it was really intense."
"How did that work out for you?"
"It wasn't too bad. Puck came over to protect Mom and I. Puck and I got talking about Beth, which was good. I think I might start dating him again, just too boost the image. If he'll take me back. Is that okay with you?"
"It's not an issue with me. I'm glad he did that for you and your mom. That was really sweet of him. I wish he was as nice at school though; he's still tossing people and terrorizing everybody."
"Yeah, that's good though. It kind of keeps the school running smoothly."
"I suppose."
"He might not take me back though; he's been Santana's property for a little while now. She's trying desperately to hide her and Brittany. It's kind of cute."
"Yeah, I noticed how she quickly came to Brittany's defence today. They are cute together. Just like another couple I know. Look at us in the reflection of the cabinet. We even look good together." He was right, of course. We look perfect together. Our reflection showed us holding hands on my stomach with his arms coming around my waist. That seems to be where we are most comfortable together.
"I need to get to my next class. Have a good day Will." I turned around, and got on my tippy toes to peck him on the lips.
