CHOIR ROOM

That afternoon when the New Directions were walking in for rehearsal, Quinn noticed that her purple haired friend hadn't shown up yet. So she look towards Mike for some answers.

Quinn: "Where's Kel?"

Mike: "She said she had some things to do for yearbook before Glee, but honestly there's a really good chance she fell asleep. She was dozing on and off during math today."

Kurt: "She did the same thing in French class." he told the two as he took his seat.

Quinn: "What's going on with her?"

Mike: "Well, she's in all honors and AP classes, she basically runs yearbook by herself and her driver's test is this week. She's also really paranoid about that so," he tells the blonde who goes to say something but gets cut off by their teacher walking in and starting his lesson for the week.

Will: "Ballad. From Middle English, balade. Who knows what this word means?" he asks after writing the word on the board.

Brittany: "It's a male duck." she responds and earns some wary looks.

Will: "Kurt."

Kurt: "A ballad is a love song."

Will: "Sometimes, but they don't always express love. Ballads are stories set to music, which is why they're the perfect storm of self-expression. Stories and music are the way we express feelings that we can't get out any other way. Okay, now, sectionals are in a few weeks and there's a new rule this year, we have to perform a ballad."

Rachel: "Looks like my weekly letter to the Ohio Show Choir Committee finally paid off!" she excitedly tells them, and then looks to Puck who forces a smile. Then once she looks back towards Will, the football player rolls his eyes.

Will: "Okay. So here's our assignment for the week, I'm going to pair you off, and I want you to pick a ballad to sing to your partner. Look them right in the eye, find the emotion you want to express, and make them feel it."

Finn: "I pick Quinn."

Will: "No, no, no. Too easy. Your partners will be chosen by fate."

All: "Ooh!"

Will: "Ooh, yeah. I put all your names in this hat. Whoever you choose is your partner."

Brittany: "I bet the duck's in the hat."

Santana: "But Matt's out sick today. He had to go to the hospital, 'cause they found a spider in his ear." she tells them earning disgusted looks from the group.

Will: "Um... I guess I'll just have to put my name in the hat for now. Who's up first?" he asks as Puck gets up to pick a name.

Puck: "Mercedes." he says earning an eye roll from said girl as Artie goes to pick his name.
