Some people swear there is no magic in a school anymore. But when one student transfer, she shows other students and teacher what you can accomplish together
At Mckinley high school, early in the morning. A couple of students were walking toward the school while talking. A group of jocks were standing beside the dumpster while talking until a middle-age masculine women, with short curly brown hair. The woman is currently wearing a blue stripe collar shirt, and black sports shorts. And a whistle around her neck. She blew her whistle at the jocks before saying. "get to class, and remember. Practice is after-school". The jocks nodded before walking toward the school
A 200 mercury stables pulled up in the school parking lot. The man in the car parked infront of the school, the driver, spanish teacher, Will Schuester opened the driver door and climb out before grabbing his satchel and started walking toward the school, he stopped his tracks when a young girl with long black hair, Wearing a white blouse with a yellow jacket over the blouse. Along with a black skirt and knee socks. The young girl was riding her bike. The young girl was riding a bicycle, she says. "sorry" as she passed Will. He waved at the girl with confusion before walking in the school
Rachel rode up toward the bike rack, only seeing a couple of bikes chained up. She removed her helmet before putting a chain around the rack and locked her bike up. Rachel looked at the school with a smile before walking in the front doors, and she walked into the school mail office, seeing the principal secretary sitting behind her desk . "hi, I'm rachel berry, I'm supposed to register"
Secretary: you can talk to the principal in a minute. Just sit down
Rachel nodded before sitting down beside the desk. She waa tapping on her helmet for a bit while turning head to look out of the front school, seeing a chinese goth girl walking in the school while writing in her notebook. Two boys were snickering in front of her before she hissed at them, making the boys stepped away with a nervous expression. Rachel heard yelling in the principal office before the door opened, revealing a middle age man with glasses on the edge of his nose. Wearing a green sweater with another pink sweater tied around his neck. He yelled in the office. "SCREW YOU AND SCREW THIS ENTIRE SCHOOL". The man walked out of the front office. The secretary says while looking down. "the principal will see you now"
Rachel stood up while holding her helmet and backpack. She walked in the principal office, seeing a Pakistany man with thinned black hair. "principal figgins?". Figgins looked up and says "what can i do for you?"
Rachel: my name is rachel berry. I'm supposed to be registering today
Figgins: oh, ms berry. Almost slipped my mind. Where are your parents, they need to sign some forms
Rachel: oh they have work today. They said their coming tomorrow though
Figgins: oh ok, well then that case. Here's your schedule
Figgins took out a piece of paper that has rachel schedule and hands it to her. He took out a small paper and hands it to rachel. "this is your locker number and combination, don't loose it. And one more thing, if you are interested. We hold numerous clubs and after-school programs, you can sign up anytime. The bulletin board in the hallway right there has the sign up sheets for every club". Rachel turned her head to look at the sign up board. She notice one sheet was torn off by another teacher, he walked away leaving rachel confused. "what was that sheet for?"
Figgins: oh its nothing. We learn something in one of our clubs and i have no choice but to let the director go. It's none of your concern, now you should head to your first class and have a good day
Rachel smile before getting up and walked out of the office. She notice the teacher throwing the sign up sheet in the trash, with curiosity, she walked up and took out the sheet and opened it up, seeing the club name. "glee club"
Teacher lounge:
Will walked into the lounge while setting his satchel on one of the chairs. That was next to the coach, who was drinking a cup of coffee. "Hey, shannon. How was your weekend?".
Shannon: relaxing. Good thing about it too, it's football season
Will grabbed a mug from the shelf before saying. "one of your busy time of the year". Shannon chuckled. "ain't that the truth"
A woman with short grayish white hair, wearing a purple tracksuit, walked in the room. "just stop it already, your precious games a waste of time. But I'll tell you what team is not a waste of time. The cheerios, now I'll tell you this. They might get into first place again this year". Will sigh while pouring a cup of coffee
Will: yeah, you mention that every time national is here, sue
Sue: oh I'm sorry, feeling jealous. You know the only reason this school runs smoothly is because of my cheerios
Sue walked up to will and grabbed his coffee from his hands and took a sip before saying. "ah. I like my coffee black" before throwing the coffee in the sink, making shannon shook her head as sue walked out of the room. She walked passed by a woman with long red hair, wearing a dress with a blue jacket. "move it" Sue said to the girl before looking at will
Will: It's sue
Woman: yeah I'm used to it
The woman walked up to a chair while taking out plastic gloves out of her pocket and put them on. "hey, did you hear what happened to sandy ryerson?". She asked as she pulled one of the chairs out
shannon: ryerson. The glee club director?
Woman: yup, he was arrested
Will turned his head quickly after pouring two cups of coffee. "wait, really?". The girl nodded. "apparently he was sexually assaulted one of the students. The poor boy finally told his parents, and ryerson was guided out of the school by police officers"
shannon: i had a bad feeling about him. He's the reason one of my players transferred out of this school
Will: what's gonna happened to the glee club
Women: from what i heard, if figgins can't find a replacement, he's gonna shut the club down
Will sat down with the two before saying. "it's too bad, glee is a fun club. I actually took it when i was a student"
Woman: Really?
Will nod while looking down. "Yeah, i did". Shannon says while taking a sip of her coffee "maybe you should run it"
Will: uh, i don't know
Woman: why?
Will: That's all behind me
In a classroom, will was writing on a chalkboard as the students walked in and sat down. "ok, remember we were going over the difference between por O para". He turn his head, seeing his students sitting down. His classroom door opened up, revealing rachel. She walked up and gave will a slip. "i apologize for being tardy. I had a tough time finding your classroom, mr schuester". The kids started pointing and lightly laughing at rachel outfit. Will looked at the slip before saying. "it appears we got a new student today. Everybody, this is rachel berry". Rachel waved at the other students, who all remained still
Will: its nice to have you, why don't you tell the class a little about yourself
Rachel: well their isn't much to tell. I grew up in Missouri. I have two gay fathers that work in a law firm
The class started to chuckle from rachel comment. Rachel with nervous expression says. "i grew up without a mother. They're basically my only family. Moving away was hard for me as it was not part of my plan"
Student: was your plan going to a gay school
The students laugh until will spoke. "Hey, none of that. Well we are lucky to have you, rachel. Sit down in any seat that's available". Rachel walked up toward an empty seat, but a student dropped her books on the seat. "taken". Rachel walked up to another seat, but the boy sitting next to it, put his feet on the seat. "i need both seats". Rachel looked around, before noticing an empty seat to a single desk in the corner. She quietly walked up to the desk and slowly sat down. She looked down with a sad expression as will continue his lesson
An hour later in the classroom, the school bell rung, making the students stood up and started walking out of the classroom. Will yelled "and dont forget your homeworks tomorrow. Their due the moment you walk into this clsssroom". Rachel slowly stood up while grabbing her books and walked toward the door
Will: Ms berry, since your new. You don't have to do the homework until your caught up
Rachel: i have no problem, i like a challenge
A student walked by while saying. "teacher pet". Will says "hey, none of that". He shook his head before looking at rachel. "sorry about these students"
Rachel: i knew being the new kid wasn't going to be easy. But i didn't think I'll be a blacksheep at school. I know it technically means bringing embarrassments of a family. But this is close enough
Will: Hey. Don't worry about it, you'll make friends
Rachel slowly nodded before walking out of the classroom. "From my background, that'll never happen." Will sigh before grabbing his bag and walking out of the room
Cafeteria:
Rachel was standing in line for food. She was looking around the food that was put up. She looked up at the lunch lady. "Excuse me, do you have any vegan options?". The student next to her started chuckling with her friend
Lunch lady: Vegan, food
Rachel: Yeah, i am a vegan and i don't like the idea of eating the flesh of a defenseless animal
Lunch lady: french bread pizza is right there
Rachel: with cheese and pepperoni. That's dairy and beef
Lunch lady: look lady, i have alot of kids to feed. If you don't like my food. Go talk to the staff or bring your own food
Rachel: you don't have to be rude
The lunch lady shook her head before grabbing a plate of salad and set it on her tray. "here's a freakin salad. Go away". Rachel, with nervousness grabbed the tray and started walking away, until a african american football jock walked up and push her tray up, slamming it on her face, making him laugh. Rachel slowly lower. She slowly remove the piece of leaf stuck on her face. She heard music, making her turn her head seeing three members of the school cheerleading squad, the cheerios. A tall blonde girl. Another taller blonde, with her hair in a ponytail. And a tall latina girl. The three girls jumped on one of the lunch tables as music started
Tall blonde and latina:
Brittany, can you handle this?
Both blondes:
Santana, can you handle this?
The taller blonde and the latina:
Quinn, can you handle this?
The girls were shaking their hips from the beat
All:
I don't think they can handle this!
The three girls started doing a cheerleading routine on the table. Rachel was tapping her foot to the beat while watching the routine. Santana and brittany grabbed quinn hands and lower her off of the table before jumping off of the table and did the splits. Quinn stood in the middle and says "cheerios for life". Sue walked up and talk through a bullhorn. "Cheerleading practice after school. I'm talking to all cheerio members. One minute late and your doing 50 laps"
The redhead girl walked up toward sue and says. "sue, i know the cheerios are doing well. But i have to admit, that routine on the table is a little inappropriate for a lunch room. And santana and brittany jump off of the table, they could've hurt themselves"
Sue: emma. Why is this school running?
Emma: because of the students. The budget
Sue: Wrong. My cheerios are the reason this school runs smoothly. They can do what they want
Emma shook her head before walking away. Rachel walked up and says. "wow. That was amazing. Putting a dance in a cheerleading routine is always impressive"
Sue: who are you
Rachel: my name is rachel berry. And I'm new here. The cheerleaders were amazing and i was
Sue: sorry, but your not fit to join the cheerios
Rachel: but i haven't even tryout yet
Sue: berry, was it? lets be honest. Ive seen small girls before. But you clarify as tiny
Rachel gave a offensive expression. "that seems unnecessary". Sue continues talking. "i know your type. Family moved here for bigger opportunity. No friends obviously, and you move here makss you more lonely. You wanna be part of the popular girls. Am i right?". Rachel try to talk, but their nothing coming out of her mouth. "exactly" sue says
Sue: your not fit to be part of the cheerios. Good day
The entire cafeteria started laughing at rachel, making her tear up before running out of the cafeteria, as emma made a shock expression while looking at rachel
Rachel continue running through the hallway, and headed upstairs, but stopped on the second staircase and slowly sat down while crying a little. "Excuse me". Rachel look up, seeing a femboy, with his hair comb to the right. "your the new girl right?"
Rachel: How can you tell?
Boy: sitting on the stairway while crying. Pretty much every new student. Plus i saw what happened at the cafeteria
Rachel wiped her tears before saying. "i don't normally act like this". The boy sat down next to her. "the old women with no style is sue Sylvester. She is the cheerleading coach. The cheerios is what makes this school run smoothly, so she thinks she can run the school behind the principal back. You're not the first one she humiliated in the school"
Rachel: i just feel so out of place already, and its my first day
Boy: you don't know the school well. You'll get a hand on this school. Come, I'll show you around.
Rachel: t-thanks. Uh
Boy: The name is kurt. Kurt hudson
Rachel: rachel berry
Kurt: Alright, let's go. Time to show you around school
Kurt guided rachel down the steps and started walking through the hallway. "now i notice you met the head cheerios"
Rachel: y-yeah. Santana, quinn, and brittany. They're really great
Kurt: yeah. Since they're the head cheerios. They act like sue, owning the school
Rachel nodded. The two walked passed a locker room door, and the two stopped when the doors opened up. Revealing a group of jocks, wearing the same football jersey. One is a taller boy with a pompadour hairstyle. A tanned musclar boy with a mohawk, walked up next to him and started laughing. The third is an african american boy with a buzz haircut. The fourth is a tall chinese boy with a comb hairstyle. The fifth is a large Caucasian jock with short hair. And sixth is a heavy african american boy who also has a buzz cut, but he has a thin mustache
Kurt: ah. Those are the football players
Rachel: this school has a football team?
Kurt: football, hockey, we even have wrestling
The heavy african american boy walked past kurt and bumped him at the locker, making the boy laugh. The head jock yelled out, "Hey, azimio. Enough!". The boy, named azimio, shrugged before walking away. The head jock walked up to kurt and rachel, and says. "You alright?". Kurt nodded
Kurt: Yeah, I'm fine. It's not the first time. Finn, this is the new student
Finn: Oh, you're the one with two dads
Rachel sighed before saying. "already around. My name is rachel berry". Rachel offered her hand, and he shook her hand. "finn hudson." Rachel made a confused expression. "Wait. Hudson, " she pointed at kurt
Kurt: Finn's my brother
Rachel: Oh
Voice: FINN
Finn turns his head and sees the mohawk boy at the end of the hall. "LET'S GO!". Finn nodded before looking back at the two. "i gotta go. See you at home. " Finn ran toward His friends
Rachel: So he's you're brother?
Kurt: i know. A weird boy like me is related to the famous quarterback
Rachel: i don't think you're weird
Kurt smiled. "thanks". Rachel started talking. "So his friends pick on you?". Kurt sighs. "azimio is barely his friend. But he always stands up to them. I'm used to it anyway. " Kurt guided rachel around the school. The two walked up to the library. "and here is the library. It's where some people study, or doodle in the books. " Rachel noticed the goth chinese girl drawing on a book. "Like her?"
Kurt: the vampire, yeah, that's what she's doing. Don't look in her eyes
Kurt and rachel walked out of the library and headed to the football field. They walked toward the field, passing the porta potty, the last potty has a broom through the handle, locking it close. "and here is where my brother does his practice with his friends." One of the porta potty started to shake, making rachel looks nervous. "uh, kurt". Kurt notice the porta potty, and he walked up and remove the broom and opened the door, revealing a young boy with a bowl haircuit, wearing a sweater and jeans.. "this happens a lot". The boy ran out of the porta potty and says "thanks". Before running away from the field
Rachel: That's horrible
Kurt: He'll be fine. This way
Rachel and kurt walked back into the school. Rachel says "kurt, i appreciate what your doing, but this isn't making me feel better. That kid looks hurt"
Kurt: Look, i saw what happened, he was trying to take one of the players homework so he didn't have to do it
Rachel: really?
Kurt: yeah
Rachel made a nervous expression. "so this doesn't bother you". Kurt says "as long as you don't mess with them, they won't mess with you. Unless they feel like it"
Rachel: does stuff like that happens to you?
Kurt: yeah, i always gets thrown into the dumpsters. But one thing i learn from this school, your on your own
Rachel: that's sounds lonely
Kurt: You'll understand, kid. Well, i gotta go. If you have any questions, find me
Kurt walked away. Rachel slowly looked down before walking the other way of the hallway while continuing looking down and accidentally bumped into another cheerleader. She had a cup of smoothie, and it spilled all over the cheerio. The girl glared at rachel, who looked shocked. "Oh my god. I am so sorry, this is my first day, and i have a lot in my mind. " Rachel rolled her sleeve up and tried to wipe the stain on the cheerio uniform. "Uhh. Sorry"
Rachel then found herself outfront of the school, standing by the dumpster, with a group of cheerios standing around, including quinn, santana, and brittany. "This girl ruined my cheerio uniform. And that does not go well, " the cheerio yelled with a stain
One cheerio started talking. "she probably did this to get back at us because we said no when she wanted to be one of us." Rachel looked down with tears in her eyes. Another cheerleader says, "Aww, are you gonna cry? Why don't you cry to your, two Gay. Fathers"
Quinn: ok, enough. Let's just get this over with
Rachel: Please, no. At least let me take off my jacket. It's cashmere
Santana sighed before she held her hand up toward rachel. giving her a signal, rachel removed her jacket and slowly hands her the jacket. Two cheerios then grabbed rachel by the shoulders and legs and tossed her in the dumpster before walking away and laughing. Santana lightly set the jacket down on the ground before following her team
Rachel set her hands on the rim of the dumpster and tried to pull herself up, but then fell back. "HELP!! HELP!!". Rachel then heard footsteps and saw shannon pulling herself up to the dumpster and seeing rachel. "What the hell?"
Principal office:
Rachel was sitting in the office, in front of figgins with shannon sitting next to rachel
Figgins: beiste, can you tell me what happened
Shannon: i found her in the dumpster, yelling for help
Figgins: Oh god. Again
Shannon: i got a lead, though. I saw members of sue cheerios walking away
Figgins looks at rachel and asks. "Ms. Berry. Did the cheerios throw you in the dumpster?". Rachel looks down while holding her cashmere jacket. "Ms. Berry, we can not help you if you can answer this question. Did the cheerios do this to you?".
Rachel looks up and shakes her head "no". Shannon looks at figgins with a confused expression. He held up his hand when he sensed a speech coming from her. Figgins sat up and said, "ok, then if you don't have information about who threw you in the dumpster. Then we don't have a case. Go back to class and have a nice day. " Rachel stood up and walked out of the office. Shannon looks at figgins and says, "What was that? i saw the cheerios"
Figgins: it doesn't matter what you saw. If we do not have a confession from the victim, we can not accuse someone without a confession from Ms. Berry or the cheerios. And there was no eye witness. I'm sorry
Shannon stood up and said, "These sue kids get away with everything. You know that's a new kid, and this school making a good impression. " Figgins says, "If you are concerned over this girl, let her talk to the guidance counselor."
Emma office:
Rachel was sitting across from emma, and she was giving rachel a sympathy look. "So i heard you've been having a rough first day." Rachel looked down and said, "i knew that i wouldn't be like on my first day."
Emma: But you were publicly humiliated in the cafeteria, and then were thrown into a dumpster. Coach beiste saw the cheerios walking away
Rachel: it wasn't them
Emma: i understand, but did you see who threw you in the dumpster?
Rachel looked up and nodded. Emma put her hands on her desk. "Then why didn't you tell the principal?". Rachel shook her head. "What good would it do? I'll be in this school for four years, and it won't be fun if i tell you guys who did it and I'll be in the school with that person. "
Emma: That's a nice way to put it
Rachel: i dont want my first day with grudges
Emma: Well, what do you want?
Rachel: Be accepted. Feel like. Me
Emma turned her back and grabbed a couple of pamphlets from her office hutch. She lay the pamphlets in front of rachel. "Then i would like to suggest clubs. I'm sure principal figgins told you that we have multiple choices of clubs in this school. We have a photography club, that's a fun one. Or the debate club. What about the celibacy club?". Rachel looked through the clubs pamphlets. "i don't know about some of these clubs,"
Emma: You don't have to pick an exact club today. Just give it some thought, and i promise you that your school year will get easier. Now, go to class
Rachel stood up and walked out of the office. Emma took a deep breath before grabbing the pamphlets and set them back down on her hutch and then grabbed her bottle of sanitizer and headed toward the chair rachel sat on
At the end of the school day, will was in his classroom, packing his satchel with papers and books. He grabbed his satchel and walked out of his classroom, and started walking through the hallway. He passed beiste on the way. "Have a good day, shannon." Shannon wave goodbye
Sue walked past will and says. "Have a good night alone." Will took a deep breath when he stopped. "Later, sue." Will continue walking until he starts hearing an unknown singer at the bathroom. He slowly walked up and put his ear on the door, hearing the voice. Inside the bathroom, rachel was wiping her hands while singing to herself
Rachel:
When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
When the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try, baby
And have a little faith in me
Rachel threw the paper towels in the trash while looking at herself in the mirror. Will slowly open the door while having a hand over his eyes
Rachel:
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Will slowly lower his fingers, seeing rachel head as she is singing at herself in the mirror
Rachel:
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Rachel turns her head and screams when she notices will. He held up his free hand. "Don't worry, eyes are covered."
Rachel: Mr. schuester, you frightened me
Will: Sorry, i didn't mean to
Rachel: You can lower your hands, I'm covered
Will dropped his hand and says. "i couldn't help but hear, you have a very talented voice." Rachel smiled before saying. "i heard that from my fathers,"
Will: Where'd you learn to sing like that?
Rachel: I've been singing since i was three. I enjoy singing
Will: Really? if you enjoy it. You should persuade it
Rachel: i don't think i can. My fathers need to have the house quiet for them to work, that's why i take the opportunity when im alone to sing. Right here is an example, i am currently alone, and i took this time to sing for myself
Will: rachel, you have to persuade singing if you love it so much
Rachel: Well. I wanna get into shows, but all the schools i go to don't have programs like this, i appreciate your words, Mr. schuester. I really do, but. You know what, i have to go. Goodbye, Mr. schuester
Rachel touched her pockets and took out a crumpled piece of paper, and threw it in the trash before walking out of the bathroom. Will, with suspicious, walked up to the trash and grabbed the paper, and unfolded it, seeing the glee club sign up sheet. He looked up with a shock expression before turning his head to see the trophy case. He also noticed an old photo of a glee club. He walked out of the bathroom and saw rachel through the glass door, unlocking her bike and started riding through the parking lot
Will started walking straight toward the principal office. He walked in the room, seeing principal figgins, loading his briefcasem "figgins. Can i talk to you?"
Figgins looks up and says, "william. I am just about to head home. " Will held up his hand. "This will only take a minute." Figgins slowly nodded before sitting down
Will: Are you still looking for a new director for the glee club
Figgins: Uhh. Yes, i am, i was actually considering shutting the club down since no one is interested
Will: Well. I wanna run the glee club
Figgins made a surprised expression. "You, william. Are you sure. All the other members from Sandy Club quit when he assaulted one of the students. " Will sat down in front of figgins and says, "i believe i can make the club great again. Beside, do you know that new girl, rachel?". Figgins nodded
Will: I just heard her sing. And she is amazing, i believe she make something of herself with that kind of talent, but she talked to me and admitted she isn't even allowed to sing in her own house. She's wasting her talent. When i took glee club, it was the most fun i ever had. I felt complete, doing what i love
Figgins: I'm gonna have to make some cuts to make sure the glee club can run smoothly
Will: All im asking is to give us a shot
Figgins stood up and grabbed his briefcase "alright, william. Because i have high respect for you. I'll give your glee club a shot. Get members and see how far you can take this singing and dancing to the stage. Good luck, william. I'll see you tomorrow". Figgins walked away just as will smiled
Later that night, will was inside his apartment, laying in his bed while looking through an old yearbook. He looked through club photos until he found the 1993 glee club photo. The photo holds a picture of himself when he was a teenager, another taller boy with long brown hair, going down his shoulders. A young girl with short blonde hair. And another girl with long brownish blonde hair. He looked at the photo for a minute until he notice a quote under the photo. "By its very definition, Glee is about opening yourself up to joy.". He turned the page and saw a photo of the glee director and his teenage self. He looked under the photo and read the line. "glee club new director: lillian ryez".
"New director" he whispers before his eyes opened wide
The next day:
Will is in his classroom, teaching a class. "Tanar hambre". The school bell rung. Ending the class. Letting the students sit up and walked out of the class. "and remember we have a quiz next week". Rachel grabbed her books and was about to leave until will spoke. "rachel, stay for a sec". Rachel slowly walked up to will and asked. "did i do something wrong. I apologize for whatever i did"
Will: ms berry, you didn't do anything
Rachel: Oh. Then why did you ask me to stay after class
Will sat down and took out a piece of paper and slide it toward rachel. She looked at will before looking at the paper, and notice it's a sign up sheet, titled. "Glee club: New direction". Rachel looks back at will with a confused expression. "what is this"
Will: i am now the new director of the glee club, new direction
Rachel: but i thought the program was shut down?
Will: it was about to, but i signed up last minute
Rachel: Mr schuester, you didn't do this for me, did you?
Will: it was mostly you after we talked yesterday. You remind me of myself when i was your age. But the difference is that i had a chance to express myself, now I'm giving you that chance. You shouldn't waste that voice
Rachel: I never perform infront of any audience before
Will: I can tell you're nervous, berry. But if you don't take a chance, nothing gonna change
Rachel looks at the sheet and smiled before grabbing the pen on the table and sign her name on the sheet. Making will smile. "great. This will be good for you, rachel. I'll go ahead and hang this back up at the bulletin board"
Rachel: do you think people will sign up?
Will: i think people will
School hallway:
rachel was standing infront of new direction, sign up sheet, only seeing her name written on the sheet. She sigh before turning around and gets hit by red liquid. Rachel has her eyes closed until she heard laughter infront of her. She held her books with one arm, and used the other to wipe the red ice off of her eyes, seeing the big football player. "heard you started a new glee club. What a joke". The man walked away as rachel was wiping the red liquid off of her face until a heavy african american women walked up. "ooh, you gor slushied"
Rachel: i got, what?
Women: your new here. This school has this slushie machine. People always use it to throw it at people faces. Here's some advice for you. Bring an extra pair of clothes
Rachel: why, though
Woman: people just think glee club is lame and a joke. But it takes guts to sign your name. Later
The woman walked away as rachel stares at her. She looked at her now ruined clothes before walking toward a bathroom, and when she walked in. She turned the sink on, and started wiping the stain off of her clothes
Teacher lounge:
Emma was sitting on a table while opening her bag. Shannon was sitting next to her while eating a bowl of chili. "you sure you don't want any?" she asked emma with a full mouth. Emma, with a nervous expression, shook her head. "suit yourself" shannon continue eating her chili until will walked in the room. "hey girls"
Emma: will, i saw the glee club sign up sheet. That is so great your running the club
Will sat down infront of the two and says "well, after hearing rachel story. I figure she needs a little help. She shouldn't waste her talent". Shannon wiped her mouth and says "i bet you started feeling that joy back at your school"
Will: what. No that's not it
Shannon: sure
Will chuckled before asking. "so you saw the sign up sheet, how many people sign up?". he took a sip of his coffee as emma looked down nervously. "uhh. Including rachel?". Will nodded. She held up one finger and says "one". Will looked at emma with shock before putting his mug down. "nobody signed up"
Shannon: oh c'mon, will. Nobody signs up on the first day
Will: i Don't understand it. Glee is such a fun club
Sue walked in and says "you should cut your lost while you can. Glee club is a waste of time. Do you think it'll pick up over time, nobody gets paid to sing and dance. And now you just put your job on the line for a club that's gonna fail. It's nice to see you". Sue walked away as will shook his head
Will: is she right?
Shannon: if that thing is right. I wanna be wrong, i wouldn't give her the satisfaction
Emma: you can't cut your loses on the first day
Will: what am i supposed to do?
Emma: you were in glee club when you were a student here. Advertising. Half time during football games
Will looks at emma and says "Advertising?".
Principal office:
Rachel and will were sitting in the principal office, infront of figgins. "we have a pep ralley tomorrow, and i was hoping we use that time to make an announcement for the new glee club"
Figgins: how?
Will: i got it all planned out. I'll make a quick speech about the glee club and how it'll be different. Then the only member, rachel will show them what glee is really about
Rachel: wait. I'm gonna be singing to the entire school?
Figgins started writing on a sheet of paper. "I'll cut the cheerios performance a little early. That's the best i can do". Will nodded as he and rachel walked out of the office. "i don't know if i can do this, mr schuester, a small audience, i can do. But the entire school"
Will: rachel, if singing is really your passion. You can't let fear stop you for doing what you love. You gotta embrace it. That's what i did
Rachel: what, being a teacher
Will: teaching was my back-up plan. What i really want to be was
Will stopped when he notice the intrigued look on rachel face. He shook his head before saying. "it doesn't matter. What matters is you. I know you can do this, if your really nervous. Just do what i do". Will took a step forward, making rachel looks confused. "what?". Will says "I'll do it one more time". Will took another step forward"
Will: a step on stage. That all it takes, you just step on the stage and take a deep breath. You already did it. Now think of a song that'll inspire the student's. Get some rest
Will walked away as rachel looked down before taking a deep breath and walked away
Berry house:
Rachel was laying on her bed while watching a youtube video of a broadway show, she opened another video of a musical, seeing the group ran up to the edge of the stage while singing. A recommended video popped up, and she opened it up, revealing a music video. Two boys walked up and started singing
Rachel was watching as her eyes opened wide. She pressed a button on her laptop, and lyrics were downloaded. Rachel opened up the lyrics and started mumbling the words
School gym:
In the gym, the bleachers on each side of the room was filled with students and teachers, watching the cheerios practicing a routine. Santana, quinn, brittany, and a couple of other cheerios stood in two lines before holding up their pom poms in the inner line. The school football team ran through the cheerios, making the school cheered. Kurt was clapping at his brother as they did a small routine with the cheerios. In the very end of the gym was a small stage, covered by a purple curtain. Behind the curtain was rachel and Will
Rachel: oh god, their is so many
Will: remember what i told you. Don't let fear stop you. You take a step, you are brave
Rachel slowly nodded. Back out of the gym, shannon, emma, and sue were sitting on the courtside of the bleachers. Figgins walked up and sat down. "be ready to pull your cheerios back"
Sue: why would i do that?
Figgins: didn't you get the memo? we're cutting your girls so that will can make an announcement
Sue: oh god, is it for that glee club that'll fail
Emma: just let him
Sue sigh before grabbing her airhorn and pressed the button. Shooting out a loud sound, making the cheerios and jocks look confused. Figgins walked up with a microphone and started talking. "i know you all were hoping for a full performance, but the spanish teacher, mr will schuester has an announcement about his newly made glee club. Be respectul". Figgins walked up and sat down with the falculty, and the cheerios and jocks walked up to their seats on the bleachers and sat down. The curtains to the stage opened up, revealing will standing by a microphone stand. A couple of students clap softly
Will: sorry about this, but I'll like to start by talking about what glee club is about. Its not about homosexual, outcast or anything i heard students say about the old club
Two jocks fist bump while laughing. Will continue talking. "it's about being true to yourself. Finding a new path of the future. Having fun, be happy about what you love. Some of you people are forced to do something you don't wanna do, being a lawyer because your parents want you to be one". Quinn looks down. "or be a doctor because your parents are hoping for a higher pay". The goth chinese girl looks up from her book
Will: glee club is a fun place to be who you are. No worry's, be accepted. I am the man who i am today when i took glee. It maybe temporary for some of you, and that is fine. It's a place with no trouble on your day to day life. But some of you could have a new career thanks to glee
Sue started laughing while covering her mouth. Will says "thanks to glee, I had fun, i had tons of friends, a teacher who.. Believed in me to find my full potential. That's why i love glee when i was your ages". The entire school continue listening.
Will: you can do anything you want. Don't let other people make you think glee is lame or being bully because your part of it. If you join, your part of another family. You do might get teased, but on in this club. Cause glee is mostly about acceptances, about hope and joy. Love. That's what it means to me, fun. And hope. I can go all about how great glee could be. But how about our only member show you how great it is
Will walked off the stage and was replaced by rachel, who stood by the mic stand. She looked around at the audience with a nervous expression. She turn her head at will, who took a deep breath while looking at rachel. She turn her head back to the audience, watching a couple of students whispering at each other. She took a deep breath before nodding. The music started coming out of the speakers, and she started singing
Rachel:
We broke down, trying to leave town
Flying down the road to change
We were born to run
Cali, here we come
Escape from Nowhere, USA
She grabbed the stand while singing, and looked around seeing the students watching her.
Rachel:
Say goodbye to white picket fences
Say hello to palm trees and Benzes
They say you got to fall to have it all
Now, we don't want two kids and a wife
I don't want a job, I just want a life
Sometimes the underdogs rise
And the mighty fall
Rachel finished the last part with a high note. Making a couple of students nodding, gaining kurt attention as he watches her. The music started to pick up, making rachel sing faster and louder
Rachel:
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
'Cause Jack left Diane 30 years ago
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
So, tell me, whatever happened to the American Dream?
The heavy african american woman was grooving from the music and smile while watching rachel
Rachel:
I know a girl, I met her last night
She was fresh off the plane
She whispered in my ear
"Baby, come here, I'll do anything to make a name"
Honey, take my hand, follow me, 'cause
I don't want to hurt you, but he does
I just want to give you some real advice
Never take candy from a stranger
And keep your eyes open for danger
'Cause this right here is a twisted paradise
Rachel took the mic off of the stand and kicked it down, making will quielty laugh while watching rachel with an amazed expression
Rachel:
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
'Cause Jack left Diane 30 years ago
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
So, tell me, whatever happened to the American Dream?
The chinese goth girl was tapping her finger on her book while watching rachel. A boy with a bowl haircuit, wearing glasses, a button collar shirt, with a red sweater over it, and jeans. The boy is also sitting on a wheelchair. He was moving his head up and down
Rachel:
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
So, baby, let's live and die before we're getting old
You know that nothing is the way it used to be
So, tell me, whatever happened to the American Dream?
Shannon and emma shared a smile while watching. Sue was shaking her head until she notice santana foot was tapping from the beat. A boy who also was wearing glasses, with an afro hairstyle, wearing a black t-shirt and jeans, was looking at rachel legs as they move
Rachel:
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
sing along
na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na,
na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na,
na-na-na-na-na-na
Rachel stopped singing before walking backwards, and then walked back on the edge of the stage before she continued singing
Rachel:
We were born to run
Cali, here we come
We gettin' out of here, baby
Let's get out of here
oh, whoa
rachel looks at the students before pressing her foot on the end of the mic stand, standing back up and grabbed the stand
Rachel:
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
'Cause Jack left Diane 30 years ago
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
So, tell me, whatever happened to the American Dream?
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
So baby, let's live and die before we're getting old
You know that nothing is the way it used to be
So, tell me, whatever happened to the American Dream?
Rachel did another high note while the students were watching, gaining the attention of kurt, the african american woman, chinese goth girl, and wheelchair boy. Along with finn, the mohawk boy, the tall african american jock, and the chinese boy. And quinn, santana, and brittany
Rachel:
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na, oh
Rachel finished by slowly lowering the volume of her voice. She put the mic back on the stand before looking around as the students stayed seated until the boy with the afro hair stood up and yelled "YES!!!". The entire school stood up and started clapping. The main cheerio girls hesitantly before standing up and joined in the clapping. A couple of the jock boys remained seated while looking around. And sue was the only falculty remained seated while looking at the staff who stood up and clapping
Rachel looked around with a huge smile on her face as will walked up and grabbed the mic. "that's our new glee club, new direction. If your interested in joining, sign up sheet is out on the school bulletin board. Thanks again". Will put the mic down as the curtains closed
Rachel and will shared a hug. Rachel excitedly says "i can't believe i did that. I had no fear, and i was great". Will says "great. You were amazing, and i gotta admit, you were greater than me". Rachel smiled
Rachel: i didn't know i had that in me. It felt great
Will: That's the passion of music, rachel. You still want to do this?
Rachel nodded with a smile on her face. "yes, mr schuester. I'm more than happy to continue singing for this school". Will smiled at rachel
Hallway:
After-school, rachel was walking with her backpack and was about to walk out of the school until she notice the glee club sign up sheet. With four new names under her name
Kurt hudson
Mercedes jones
Tina cohan-chang
Artie abrams
Now this is something i thought of for awhile. It was actually meant to start as rachel in the glee club and the budget cuts caused the club to be shut down and rachel decided to form a team and raised the money
Now you may notice the changes. Like kurt and finn aren't step-brothers. Their actual brothers. And shannon is already the coach of the Mckinley knights, i like her better than ken
This story I'm excited to do. I'll wait and see how this goes. Comment on your thoughts
