FIGGINS' OFFICE

Tina was sitting besides Will, in the principal's office, as Figgins stared her down, or more specifically her clothing choices, with rage in his eyes.

Tina: "Am I in trouble?" she asked Will, confused on why she was called down to the principal's office.

Will: "Come on. You've got more self-esteem than that. I think this might have something to do with your perfect attendance last semester."

Figgins: "No. Miss Cohen-Chang is in trouble. It has come to my attention that the look you sport is what is known as goth. American teens are coming down with a serious case of Twilight fever, transformed from normal children into vampires obsessed with the occult. And only yesterday, this dark specter reared its head at McKinley High when a group of freshman girls tried to suck the blood of Jacob Ben Israel."

Will: "I don't mean to state the obvious, but you do know that vampires aren't real, right? They don't exist."

Figgins: "William, denial will not make this problem go away!" he exclaimed causing Will to scoff.

Tina: "My parents won't even let me watch Twilight. My mom says she thinks Kristin Stewart seems like a bitch."

Figgins: "This is a serious problem! Miss Cohen-Chang, you've got to find yourself another style of dress!"

Will: "Hold on a second. Tina is shy and one way she's found to express herself is through her clothes. High school is an incredibly important time when kids get to explore who they are. When I was in high school, I had a whole year where I dressed exactly like Kurt Cobain. I mean, come on. There has to be someone who you used to dress like."

Figgins: "Yes. For several years in my early 20s, I dressed up as Elvis. But he was a Christian, Will! And he did not possess the ability to transform into a bat!"

Tina: "I think he thinks vampires are real." she whispers to her teacher before he whispered back.

Will: "I think you're right."

Figgins: "Studies have shown that a strict dress code fosters a safe and stable learning environment with fewer instances of gang violence and vampirism. So, if I see you dressed in lacy demon clothes again, Tina Cohen-Chang," he then pounded his fist on his desk, "you will be suspended!"

HALLWAY

In between classes that morning, Finn was leaning against the wall as Kelly was opening her locker.

Kelly: "So the three of them just sprung it on you?"

Finn: "Kells, it was bizarre."

Kelly: "I'm shocked your mom didn't tell you prior to arriving at their house."

Finn: "And now I have to share a room with Kurt. But we have another bathroom and a half so that makes up for the fact that I don't have my own room anymore." he said with sarcasm as Kelly switched out her history book for her chemistry textbook.
