New Direction yearbook photo are coming up, and that gave Will an idea
Mckinley High:
In Figgin's office. Will was sitting across from figgins and is in the middle of a conversation. "Figgins, New Direction been working so hard for this moment and now you're saying we can't go to New York?".
Figgins shook his head before saying. "No, William, that is not what i am saying. I just got out of a meeting with school board member, carl howell. And he said he's cutting you're budget by 70%".
Will lean down while rubbing his head with frustration. "70% That is literally most of the money". Will said with anger. Figgins slowly nodded before saying. "i understand, and i am truly sorry. I tried to fight it, but you know the school board. They're using that money to pay for this year school yearbooks. And i cannot get through him".
Will sigh as he sat back up. Figgins starts talking. "you can still go to nationals, but you need to figure out how to raise the money yourselves. Until then, you should get ready for the school photos". Will slowly nodded before standing up and walked out of the principals office
Music room:
Will was using a marker to write on the whiteboard. "budget". He close the marker before turning around to look at the glee club, sitting on the bleachers. He took a deep breath before saying. "Ok, i'm gonna level with you guys. Our budget was cut almost completely". The glee clubs makes a confused expression. Rachel says. "wait what?".
Kurt: how is that possible?
Quinn: is it because we lost regionals
Will shrugged before setting the marker on the whiteboard, and says. "it might be. But it also might be because they cut our budget just to raise money for the school's yearbooks this year. So we have to figure out a way to raise the money for nationals. Any ideas?".
Kitty: C'mon, how much money can going to nationals cost?
Will: yes, we are schedule to be at nationals, but we have to pay for plane tickets or train tickets. And then we need hotel rooms. New competiting clothes. We actually need two or three thousands dollars to get to nationals
Sam: i can donate all the money for my after-school job
Will says. "Sam. Kurt told me about your job, that is for you're family. We'll figure out a way".
The Music room door opened up, and carl howell walked into the room, and says. "well hello, New Direction. Oh, did i came at a bad time?". Will glares at carl before saying. "what do you want, carl?". Carl smitked and says. "it's Mr. Howell, not carl". Will sigh before sitting beside the piano
Carl: i just wanted to apologize for cutting your budget, although i am doing you a favor. Let"s face it. You all have no chance
Mercedes shook her head before saying. "oh i know he ain't antagonizing us". Carl smiled at mercedes before looking through his clipboard before talking. "oh i also wanted to give out this information personally". Carl took out a piece of paper and hands it to Will, who looks at the paper with confusion. Carl says. "those are some of the members in the PTA, saying that one of your glee members, elliot motta. Who is that anyway?".
Sugar slowly lifted her hand and says. "it's sugar." Carl slowly nodded before saying. "yeah, sure. Anyway that paper is a petition from angry parents saying that they don't want HER dressed at the wrong gender he is in the school yearbook."
Rachel slowly stand up and says. "but she is dressed at the right gender. The gender she feels like". Carl chuckled before saying. "the parents don't want her dressed like that for the yearbook, and i got the petition to prove it. So either he dressed in the appropiate gender or. He's not allowed in the yearbook. That is all". Carl walked out of the music room, and closed the door behind him. Matt threw the ball at the door with anger. Sugar looks down with sadness
Will looks at sugar, and says. "sugar, i am so sorry". Sugar stood up and ran out of the music room while whimpering, making Will cover his eyes and shake his head
Motta's Apartment:
Alisa came into the apartment, and dumped her keys on the small table sitting beside the door. She was also holding a pizza box while closing the door
Alisa yelled out. "SUGAR! You here!". Alisa set the pizza box on the table before hearing some crying from sugar's bedroom. She slowly walked in seeing sugar without her wig. And is currently wearing a dark blue collar t-shirt, a black jacket, and jeans on. She was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed together, and was hiding her face behind her hands as she continues crying
Alisa quickly walked into the bedroom and kneel down infront of sugar. "sugar, you ok?". She asked with concern. Sugar slowly lifted her head, revealing mascara rolling down her cheeks. She says. "no matter where i am, i'm always gonna be treated like a alien".
Alisa sat down beside sugar and gave her a hug. "sugar, you are not an alien. Don't ever say that. You are just a girl, that is it. Don't let anyone ever tell you that". Sugar started sniffling before saying. "it's everyone. Even the school making me look like this".
Alisa looks down at sugar's outfit before saying. "sugar, why are you wearing you're old clothes?".Sugar looks down before saying. "i don't wanna say". Alisa brushed some of her grown hair behind her ear before saying. "i am you're sister, you can tell me anything".
Sugar shook her head before saying. "this new school board member. He personally told me about the yearbooks". Alisa started to make a angry expression while talking. "what did he do?". Sugar wiped her eye's before saying. "he s-said i can't be in the school yearbook. Unless i'm dressed like a boy. If i refused, i can't be in the yearbook at all". Alisa clenched her fist before standing up and walked out of the bedroom, making sugar yelled out. "ALISA!".
Alisa walked into the living room, and grabbed her keys from the table before walking out of the apartment and slammed the door behind her. Sugar ran out of her bedroom and ran to the door, and opened it up, but she doesn't see alisa in the hallway. "alisa!". She looks around before walking back into the apartment slowly
At an unknown office, a middle age man with grey hair, and wearing a suit. Was sitting behind his desk, writing on a piece of paper until his landline phone turned on. "Superintendent Harris, you have a visitor. Someone who is a guardian to one of the students at William Mckinley High." Harris has a confused expression before pressing the button, and starts talking. "send them in".
His office door opened up, revealing Alisa. Harris stood up and adjusted his tie before saying. "Nice to meet you. Have a seat". Alisa stood beside the chair and says. "don't worry. As a superintendent, i know you are busy so i'll make it quick. I am the sister of sugar motta. The girl who came out as a girl in you're school". Harris look down and sigh before sitting down, and says. "i know, and i'm gonna come clean. I don't have anything against transgender people. I think it's brave, but howell showed up with a number of angry parents saying they don't want her in that gender in the yearbook in fear of confusion."
Alisa: you're the Superintendent. Can't you overule him or something?
Harris: i can, but he brought many parents who agree with him. Unless you can get enough supporters. If you can prove that the school don't have a problem with it. Then i'll be forced to let your sister to take her school photo in her get-up
Alisa slowly nodded, with her arms crossed. "alright. I'll work on it. Thanks. Mr. Harris". She said before walking out of harris office
Mckinley High:
The next day, in the music room. Alisa was standing infront of the glee club, and Will, who are all sitting on the bleachers. Alisa starts talking. "Sugar told me all about this little transgender banned, and i just drove right to your Superintendent". Sugar makes a shock expression before saying. "wait, what!".
Will: Alisa, i don't think that was a good idea
Alisa: well nobody bans my sister for taking a picture, and he told me if we get enough supporters. He can allow sugar to take a picture on who she is
Will stands up and starts talking. "she's right. If we get supporters, Carl will have no choice". Kurt held up his index finger before saying. "yeah, no. I like to say one thing. Who is a member of the bully whips?". Matt, finn, puck, kitty, santana, and sam lifted their arms up in the air. Kurt nodded before saying. "and how many times have you saved me, rachel, and sugar from bullies?".
Sam: We had to walk you into your class this morning when the hockey players were planning to tackle you
Santana: azimio and karofsky were about to hurt sugar a couple days ago
Kurt looks at Will and says. "people don't give a darn about us. We're just punching bags". Will slowly nodded before talking. "yeah, you"re right, but theirs gotta be a way to show people who you are. You know what, why don't we take today off, go home and rest."
The glee club stood up and grabbed their bags before walking out of the music room. Alisa looks at Will and says. "this club is a fun place to be. You need to show people what they are like". Before walking out of the music room. Will sigh before sitting down beside the piano
Rachel's bedroom:
Rachel was sitting on her bed, with her legs crossed while looking through her laptop. She rubbed the back of her neck in pain and lean her head up, and notice her musical calendar hanging on the wall. Rachel stares at the calender for a moment before her eyes opened wide
The next day in the morning. Rachel was standing in Will's spanish classroom, holding a calender infront of Will, who was sitting behind his desk. Will with confusion say. "a calender? you want the glee club to make a school calender?". Rachel quickly nodded with a smile. Will says "i don't know how a calender is supposed to help".
Rachel set the calender down on the desk before talking. "Mr. Schue, people will see us covering a month and expressing ourselves. For example, puck can cover june and he'll be in like in a swimsuit and a tank top, holding his pool supplies. And quinn, her sister was in the marines. She can be in a tank top military jacket, and hat while fake fireworks were behind her for july. And in another, kurt, sugar, and santana can cover pride month".
Will: Ok?
Rachel sigh before sitting down and says. "Mr. Schue, this is a win win situation. For everyone who takes a calender, can sign a petition to help sugar with the school photo. It's optional of course. But we can also raise money for nationals. Please, this could be our chance". Will sat up and grabbed the calender with a smile. "rach. This is actually a good idea, let's do this". Rachel squeal before standing up and ran around the desk and gave Will a hug, making him laugh
A couple of hours later, at the football field, the cheerios were in the middle of practice while sue and rachel were standing by one of the bench. Sue was looking down at her stopwatch and says. "a minute and half quicker, write that down". Rachel held up a clipboard and started writing on the paper until she heard a voice. "rachel?". Rachel turn her head to notice sugar walking up. She looks back at sue, who nodded before yelling through her megaphone. "take five minutes, future failures!". The cheerios scattered away from each other
Rachel walked up toward sugar and says. "is everything ok?". Sugar nodded before saying "i just finished talking to Mr. Schue. About a calender?". Rachel nodded and says. "yeah, sugar i know this is worse to you, but you can show em who you are. You can wear a bathing suit in your choosing. I haven't figured it out yet, but this could help glee than we know." Sugar smiled before saying. "thank you, rach. You didn't have to do that."
Rachel: i did, though. You are one of my best friends and i wanna make all my friends happy
Three cheerios walked up toward the two girls, and one says. "well look who it is. Gay cindrella". Rachel turn around and says. "lay off her, laura. Sugar is being herself". Sugar held up her hand infront of rachel, interrupting her. "may i?". Rachel nodded
Sugar walked forward and says. "you can't beat me down. Yes i am different from any women, but i am still a woman. And you can't bring me down for being who i am". Rachel smiled until one cheerio scoff and silently laugh. "you are such a freak". Sugar slowly nodded before saying. "yeah, maybe. But i am freak woman". Sugar took out a speaker from her bag, and pressed the power button, turning the speaker on. Shooting out music. She set the speaker on bench before looking at the girls and started singing
Sugar:
Girls, we run this motha, yeah
Girls, we run this motha, yeah
Sugar walked through the three cheerios and walked through the football field while singing, gaining everyone attention. Including santana, quinn, brittany, sue, and kitty
Sugar:

Rachel:

Disrespect us no they won't

Sugar pushed one cheerio away, making her to have a shock expression as sugar walked backwards and was met by two cheerios who started to dance behind her, making sugar smiled
Sugar:
This goes out to all my girls
That's in the club rocking the latest
Who will buy it for themselves and get more money later
Sugar lean backwards and slowly pulled herself back up while the cheerios and rachel walked around sugar as the music started to slow down
Sugar:
I think I need a barber
None of these people can fade me

Music room:
Will was standing infront of the glee club, who were all sitting on the bleachers. He says. "Everyone, the glee captain, rachel has an idea. Rach".
Rachel stood up and ran up infront of the piano and starts talking. "sugar, hand them out". Sugar stood up and handed a different calendar to each member. Tina read the front of the calendar. "the rocky horror show?".
Brittany: singing in the rain
Mike: sweeney todds
Puck: hamilton
Kitty: chicago
Santana: catz. Oh god i can't even look at this calendar, it's burning my hands
Rachel says. "look everyone, i know you are all confused, but people think these broadway musicals were a joke, but they became a hit. I suggest we make our own glee calendar. Each of us cover a month to express ourselves". Will nodded before talking. "i we can get enough people to buy the calendar, not only do we get the petitions to help sugar, but we'll also get enough money for nationals".
Puck held up his hand and says. "can i show my pecs for the ladies". Will laugh before saying. "you all will be wearing clothes, no nudity.". Rachel smiled before saying. "Thanks to photography class. We were able to borrow one of their camera's. I have picked which month you all are gonna do". Mercedes held up her hand and says. "rach, i don't wanna say this is bad because it kinda isn't, but their is only 12 months in a year, and their is 15 of us".
Rachel nodded before saying. "yes, i understand that. And that is why some of you are posing for multiple months. If they want a specific person, they're gonna have to get two calendar. For example, for may i picked santana and artie. Santana will be dressed in a traditional mexican dress for cindo de mayo. Where she can show her shoulders and have a little short skir-". Santana looks at rachel with a devious smirk until rachel cleared her throat. "forgive me, i lost my train of thought. Anyway, artie will dressed for space to celebrate may 4th. May the 4th be with you". Artie smiled while nodding
Rachel: Tina is a goth. So she can dress like a vampire. And for june, puck will be in his pool cleaning clothes to celebrate the summer. Same with sam
Sam, who now has a shock expression, says. "wait. Does that mean i'm gonna be taking my shirt off?". Rachel slowly nodded. "or you can wear a tanktop. Competely optional. Look we can go over it tomorrow when we start the photoshoots. Ok, good." Will clapped his hands and say. "ok, guys. That's it for today".
The glee club grabbed their bags before walking out of the music room. Sam rubbed his eye's as he continue walking through the hallway before leaning on the locker wall
The next day:
At Mckinley parking lot. Will parked his car in the parking lot, and turned his car off before climbing out of his car. He opened the back seat door and grabbed his satchel before walking up toward the school. He walked through the front doors and walked past figgins office just when the door opened up, and figgins lean out from the doorframe. "Schuester, my office now!".
Will slowly walked into figgins office, seeing figgins standing behind his desk, and carl was sitting on one of the chairs. "please sit". Figgins said as he sat down behind his desk, and scooted himself forward
Will slowly sat down beside carl, and says. "i'm sorry. I feel like i'm back as a student getting called by the principal".
Figgins: it is about you're students calendar assignment
Carl look through his binder and took out a firefighter calendar, with two fireman, wearing only their pants, with their spenders. Both were wearing fire hats. Carl says. "do you know what this is?"
Will nodded before saying. "yes, and i think experimenting is great for everybody". Figgins started to giggle until carl turn his head to look at figgins, who covered his laughs by coughing in his hands
Carl set the calendar on the desk before saying. "i confiscated this from one of you're students. You know i would call the cops just for doing this. You're letting your glee club pose half naked infront of the camera". Will says. "i am not doing this, this was all the students idea. I admit, i wasn't big on the idea. But the kids are selling these calendars to just the students. And they are not gonna be naked, that i wouldn"t allow. Yes a teacher supporting his students to make these kind of calendars is wrong, but this is all from the kids, i have no power over them."
Carl: well then you would be fine with me shutting the calendar down
Will: Why?
Carl looks at figgins while pointing at Will, and says. "why? well the clothes they are going to wear is a violation on the dress code of the school". Will nodded before saying. "i figured you might say that. Well rachel has gone over the costumes they are gonna wear. A traditional mexican dress, with the skirt up to the knee". Will pointed to the school hallway, where four cheerios walked past the office. "and those are the cheerleading uniforms they wear. The skirt is longer then theirs. And the boys will wear shorts and tank top. And if you check on the dress code, students have to be dressed with a shirt for the school day. This is happening AFTER school."
Figgins pointed at Will before saying. "William has a point. They are not violating the dress code". Will looks back at carl and says. "oh and since the calendar doesn't have anything to do with the school. Sugar can go ahead to get her picture taken with her dress and make-up. What else do you got?". Carl groaned before standing up and says. "this isn't over". Before walking out of the office
Will laugh while turning his head toward figgins and says. "that felt good". Figgins giggled before saying. "Sorry for the emergency meeting, but i also wanted to say. You have my support on this one. Just no nudity". Will slowly nodded before standing up and says. "i understand, and i know this is all weird, but this is the only way around this mess".
Figgins: if it gets dowell off your back, i'm up for it. Now head to your class
Will nodded before walking out of figgin's office
Boy's locker room:
Kurt walked into the locker room, and yell out. "finn! finn! you anywhere?". Kurt looked around until he found the weight area, where sam was holding two dumbbells while doing some squats. "oh my" Kurt said as he stood infront of sam
Sam looks up and notice kurt. "hey, man, what are you doing here?". Kurt stares at sam before saying. "uhh. I'm looking for my brother, is he here?". Sam nodded before setting the dumbbells on the mat, and slowly stand up. "yeah, he's in the shower. He'll be out in a moment".
Kurt: i am sorry for barging in while you are working out
Sam: it"s fine. I work out infront of dudes all the time
Kurt cleared his throat before saying. "so, you ready for the photoshoot". Sam sigh before saying. "i don't know. Can i tell you something since you probably won't tell anyone". Kurt quickly nodded. "yeah yeah, sure."
Sam smiled before sitting down on the weight bench, and says. "i don't feel comfortable getting undress infront of people." Kurt started laughing for a bit until he notice sam's expression, making him stop laughing. "you're serious. Sam you are a stripper, you literally undress infront of people all the time".
Sam: it's different because i don't know anyone who walks into the club. I know a bunch of people here. Glee. Football. They always joke about my lips. What are they gonna do when they see me without my shirt
Kurt: oh come on, you shouldn't be scared. You are an attractive guy with good hair. And i like you're lips
Sam looks at kurt with confusion until he says. "sorry, i trailed off. Anyway you shouldn't be scared." Sam sigh before standing up and says. "sorry, kurt, but i don't think i can do this". Before walking out of the locker room
Kurt look at the door for a minute before taking out his phone and opened up his message app
An hour later, in the school courtyard, Sam was sitting on the steps while throwing a football in the air, and caught it as it fell straight down. He continued throwing the ball in the air until karofsky walked down the stairs, and grabbed the football in mid air. And says. "nice arm, fish lips". Before throwing the ball at sam in the head. David walked away as sam was messaging his head until another person walked down the stairs and says. "hey, sam".
Sam look up to see rachel, who says. "i just talked to kurt. Look if you're really nervous about the photo, you can wear you're football gear, be like football camp".
Sam sigh before saying. "thanks, but i am still not posing for the calendar. Don't even try to talk me out of it." Rachel slowly sat down beside sam, and says. "is it ok if i know the reason. I looked through you're MySpace profile, and notice you're birthday. You are older than me by four months so you can make you're own decision then listening to others. But i would like to know the reason".
Sam shook his head before saying. "i might sound selfish right now, but i have been down in the barrel since i joined glee. I don't regret it though. I love everyone of you guys, and since i joined, i have been hit by slushied. Getting pummeled by jocks, hockey players. And now i'm gonna pose for the glee calendar. I don't think i can handle more beatings".
Rachel slowly nodded before saying. "i get what you're feeling. I was thinking of quitting last year right before we competed in sectionals. I don't think you, kitty or even sugar knows this about me. Uhh, there was this guy before santana. We both thought me dating him could lay off some steam because of rumors. Not important, turns out he was a member of our rival glee club, and. God even after all this time, i'm still scared telling people this. He stole our sectionals setlist, and beat me up". Sam looks at rachel as his eye's opened wide. Rachel slowly nodded as she continues talking. "y-yeah, i was in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I suffered insomnia, and night terrors. He really scared me, so much that i couldn't even face him. But thanks to glee, i got through it. And we won sectionals."
Sam stares at rachel for a moment before saying. "i am so sorry, i had no idea." Rachel looks back at sam and says. "i couldn't gone through it without glee, no matter what happens, we're always here for each other. It's a club i feel safe. It's my hero". Rachel slowly patted sam's hand before standing up and says. "well, i have to head to photography class. That's where we gonna do the photoshoot. You don't have to do it, though". Rachel slowly stood up and walked down the steps and walked into the lunchroom
Photo lab:
In the classroom. Matt and mike were hanging a background backdrop of the beach, with a large wave in the ocean, and part of a beach umbrella is on the upper left corner. Rachel was setting up the camera stand before taking a picture of the portait. She opened up the album settings, and see the photo she took. Kurt lean over rachel and says. "wow, your good at that".
Rachel smiled and says. "thanks, photography is awesome class i'm taking". Quinn walked in the room, wearing uncle sam's hat. American flag jacket, opened, revealing a blue bra. She is also wearing blue pants with white stars on the left side. Quinn held up an american flag and says. "so are we doing this or what?". Rachel stares at quinn and says. "uhh. We gotta wait for everyone?". Santana, wearing a traditional mexican dress with a short skirt. Her hair is braided into pigtails. She walked up behind rachel and smirk before saying. "what are you staring at, berry." Rachel squeal and hopped into the air before turning around and notice santana. She slowly says. "uhh. What?". as she stares at santana
Santana giggled before saying. "berry, you are not gonna last with me dressed like this". Rachel shook her head, and said. "sorry". Brittany walked in, wearing pink leotard, and bunny ears. She is also holding a basket. Puck followed brittany, wearing jean shorts, and a see through tank top. He is pulling his suction pool vacuum. Kitty, finn, mercedes, and tina walked into the room while wearing white robes. Mercedes says. "so, are we ready?".
Rachel: uhh yeah. I guess, but i don't think sam is
The door opened back up, and sam walked into the room, wearing a robe. "Sorry i'm late. I needed to get change quick". He said, making Rachel smile before saying. "alright, let's do this." Rachel turned around and walked up to one of the desk, where a speaker was sitting. She pressed the power button, turning the speaker on and it started shooting out some pump music. Rachel walked back up to the camera
Rachel:
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Sam removed his robe, revealing he's only wearing orange swim trunks. He walked up and stood infront of the backdrop. Sam grabbed a football from the table and he pose himself like he's throwing a ball to someone. Rachel started taking a couple of photos of sam as he change to different position
Rachel:
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night, I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need
Puck replaced sam place right when matt and mike changed the backdrop of a underground pool. Puck put on sunglasses and held the pool vacuum on his shoulder. Rachel started taking pictures of puck

In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere, just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah
The backdrop is now in space. Artie is dresses like obi-wan kenobi. He held up a toy lightsaber just as rachel started taking pictures
Rachel:

Rachel started taking pictures while mercedes threw some leaves in the air
Rachel:
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone, somewhere, watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Sugar smiled while looking down. "guess they grew just in time. Thank to those estrogen." Rachel giggled as she continue looking through the photos until she found sam's photo. She walked up toward sam and says. "hey, sam. The camera loves you".
Sam looks at the photo and smiled while saying. "i hope this doesn't put a target on my back. But, for sugar. It's worth it". Rachel smiled again before saying. "well, we better get these photos developed".
One Week later:
In the school lunchroom, there is a large line of students standing infront of a small table, where rachel, santana, sam, and sugar were selling newly made calendars. Jacob is first in line, handing rachel some money. "are you in this one because i want to see you every time i-". Santana, not looking up, said. "if you finish that sentence, you're not gonna be seeing anything. Now before we hand you the calendar. Sign here". Santana held up a clipboard.

Will: as you can see. We have gotten people to sign a petition for sugar so she can get her yearbook photo the way she feels like
Carl shook his head before saying. "you can't be serious? these are all students". Figgins interrupts carl by saying. "a couple of them are from the student council, and this year senior class president". Harris slowly nodded before saying. "well, this is impressive. I'm gonna get some complaints, but. Sugar can dress the way she wants". Will smiled as harris stood up and shook Will's hand. "thank you. Mr. Harris. Thank you so much".
Harris smiled and says. "well i better get going. Carl". Harris walked out of the office as carl shot a glare at Will before walking out of the office himself. Will smiled as he turn his head at figgins, who says. "Congratulations, william. You helped a student yet again".
Will: better yet. Rachel finished counting the money they made. With santana help, she is not good without calculator. We have made $9,752. We have enough to get to nationals
Figgins: i wish you luck. But for now, we have to get photo ready
Will stares at figgins, and says. "wait. Are you wearing make-up?". Figgins shushes him before looking over Will to see the door shut. He sat down and says. "i used some cream to shine my cheekbones. These are my best quality". Will laugh while shaking his head before standing up and walked out of the office
