"she keeps sending you to spy on us? she's gonna leak the set list isn't she?" i ask Britt as we enter the lunch room.

"Sue told me i can't talk about it, not even with you." Brittany explains with a frown as we sit down, joining the others of the Unholy Trinity.

"i can't believe she hates Mr. Schue that much, that she is willing to destroy our whole club." i sigh as i take out my prepackaged sandwich and take a bite.

as i mindlessly eat, tuning out the conversation happening at the table around me, i feel someones eyes on me. i look around and notice those eyes belong to one latina cheerleader. i cock my eyebrow, still chewing my food, resulting in Santana to roll her eyes and turn back to the conversation the blondes were having.

"Mr. Schue wants us in the auditorium for free period after lunch." i explain as i read off the text on my phone.
"Rachel just texted me."

"what does the man baby want now." Santana scoffs as we all stand and make our way to said auditorium.

we walk in, being join by the rest of the group and i take my seat in front of Britt and in between Matt and Kurt. we all finally notice Mr. Schue standing on stage with a bunch of girls.

"oh no." i whisper, looking over to Rachel who also had her eyes wide and looking at me before mouthing 'what is happening?' to which i shrug and turn back to the stage while sinking down in my seat, earning a confused look from Kurt.

"okay, guys, so first of all I want to welcome Ms. Hitchens and the Jane Addams glee club. we're all very happy to have you guys here. so, um, we're going to let you guys start us off. let's see what you got." Mr. Schue explains before walking off stage and joining us in the crowd.

before starting one of the girls on stage makes eye contact with me and waves and winks. i shift uncomfortably in my seat, sending another look at Rachel as the performance starts.

as the performance ends we all begin to clap before i quickly get out my seat and head out of the auditorium. soon the rest of the glee club leaves too, most not noticing me other than Rachel and Kurt.

"are you okay? you seemed a little off in there." Kurt asks sincerely as he places his hand on my shoulder reassuringly.

"i wasn't making things up right? that was really her in there?" i ask, ignoring Kurt and turning my attention to Rachel.

"i think so. i mean it looked like her." Rachel responds, shock evident in her tone.

"can someone explain what is going on?" Kurt asks, now taking his hand back and crossing his arms.

"what are the fucking chances." i mumble.

"we did know we were going up against them." Rachel explains.

"yeah but i didn't think i would see them here in my own school. i was prepared for seeing them at sectionals, not the auditorium of my safe place." i sigh as i close my eyes as place my head against the wall.

"i'm sure it's gonna be okay. i'm gonna talk to Mr. Schue. Kurt, watch them please." Rachel says with a soft smile before returning to the auditorium.

"what am i watching for?" Kurt asks annoyed from still being ignored.

"hopefully nothing. let's go before-" i was quickly cut off once i see the group of girls start to file out of the entrance to the auditorium.
"before that." i mumble.
