A/N: Hello again everyone. This is a bit of a filler chapter, but I hope you still enjoy. I'm excited for next chapter. Tell me what you think!
Enjoy :)
Shay played with the fake Jack-o-Lantern that Mr. Wayne had in his office, feet up on his desk as he slipped into his chair.
"Could you please sit up properly, Shay?" Mr. Wayne questioned, already sounding tired even though their session had just started. "And put that back."
Shay rolled her eyes, tossing the plastic pumpkin the the guidance councillor, but keeping her feet up. She had never really cared for Halloween anyway.
"So," Shay began with a yawn. "Why did you call me down here anyway? I'm missing class, you know."
Mr. Wayne narrowed his eyes. "Shay, I've already called down to your class three times this week, you weren't there before."
Shay waved her hand through the air. "Yeah, whatever. Technicality."
Mr. Wayne sighed, leaving forwards. "Shay," he began softly, trying to get the girl's attention. "I has come to my attention, and the attention of all of your teachers, that you aren't putting that much effort into your classes," he began.
Shay shrugged. "And?" she prompted.
"You are failing all of your classes, besides mathematics, of course," Mr. Wayne stated.
Shay raised a brow. "So?"
"Shay," Mr. Wayne began. "Do you want to be in highschool for the rest of your life?"
"Hell no," she spat.
"Good," Mr. Wayne responded with a nod. "That's why I am getting you a tutor," he explained, raising a hand to silence Shay before she could protest. He fixed her with a stern look. "You are getting this tutor Shay, or you are going to fail half your classes and never graduate on time. Understand?"
Shay swallowed, nodding, and for once, was silent.
"Welcome to Glee club, guys and ghouls," Ms. Rodgers said with her signature grin, clapping her hands together like she always did.
Sunny could hear the collective groan of the group around her, pained my the joke but still smiling brightly. Well, for the most part.
"So, as you all know, this Friday is Halloween," Ms. Rodgers said. "So, I think it is only appropriate that we do some Halloween themed songs for this assignment," she announced.
Excited chatter spread throughout the group, and yet Sunny remained quiet. She had never really understood why there was so much hype surrounding Halloween. Perhaps it was because her parents, or her father, often didn't allow her to dress up, and soon other things had become more important then going door to door and begging for candy. Either way, everybody else seemed excited about this week's assignment.
"So," Ms. Rodgers continued. "I was also thinking that we could do a big group number at the end of the week." She backed up towards the whiteboard, picking up a marker and smiling at the group. "Let's get brainstorming!"
Sunny sat back, watching at the rest of the group chattered and through out songs. She didn't know any, nor have anything to contribute to the group. Halloween wasn't that big in Korea anyways, and if Sunny was prone to sarcasm she would say that that was going to make this week a pure joy.
Speedy bounced his leg up and down as he sat in his chair, pencil scratching against his notebook paper. Word flew over his page as the teacher wrote on the board ahead of him, but Speedy wasn't really listening. In fact, he was really just scribbling stuff down on his page that would most likely be unintelligible when he looked back on it later.
This was boring. His class was boring, his teacher was boring, and he couldn't stayed focused for the life of him, not that he ever could really. School was fun, there were people to talk to and things to learn and he would probably enjoy all of the if it just wasn't so freaking boring.
"Would you stop moving around?" hissed the girl from beside him.
Speedy glanced at her, trying to recall her name but unable to. He frowned, leg stilling against the ground. "Sorry," he murmured softly, turning away.
Not five minutes later, his leg started to bounce up and down again. How long until Glee again?
EJ and Greg stood next to each other, grinning ear-to-ear. The music began, and EJ stepped forwards.
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein
Together the took the fist chorus.
Aaoooooo!
Werewolves of London!
Aaoooooo!
Aaoooooo!
Werewolves of London!
Aaoooooo!
Greg and EJ were now moving in sync, dancing back and forth as the sung.
If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
Better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Aaoooooo!
Werewolves of London!
Aaoooooo!
He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
Aaoooooo!
Werewolves of London!
Aaoooooo!
EJ froze, and Greg stalked around, grinning as she sung.
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect
"Everybody!" Greg called, and EJ unfroze, the two boys jumping around. The rest of the group joined in, laughing and clapping as the finished the song.
Aaoooooo!
Werewolves of London!
Aaoooooo!
Aaoooooo!
Werewolves of London!
Aaoooooo!
Draw blood...
Evan stood alone on the stage of Westbank's auditorium, hands shoved deep in his pockets. He glanced out nervously at Ms. Rodgers as the music began, and the teacher gave him a bright smile.
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This our town of Halloween
Half of the group crept onto stage; Perry, Ashleigh, Emilio, and Levi all stood by Evan and sung together.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbours gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
Greg burst on stage next, grinning ear-to-ear.
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
The remainder of her team moved onto stage, shifting into a scatted and messy formation. The all sung, voices blending nicely, but the still looked slightly awkward next to each other.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
The song ended, and Ms. Rodgers shot out of her chair, clapping widely. The kids glanced at each other, and the teacher's clapping almost deafened the silence between them.
