CHAPTER TWO
brittany/britney

Cameron's Pov

I nervously walk down the halls, heading to my next class as the school bell rings.

I have anxiety. Like, to a severe level, you know? I got diagnosed with it a year ago and it's my only explanation for why I'm so terrified of everyone and everything.

On a slightly unrelated note, almost every objectively cool guy at my school wants to join the football team. I'm on the basketball team.

It might be out of the ordinary, but I'm fairly cool with it.

The new kids, Rowan and Sam are some of my friends now-- they just got here, but they're pretty cool.

I guess I should address the elephant in the room.

Am I gay? The answer is, I mean, I don't know.

I think I really like Kamila, so obviously not, right? Well, I've never really 'liked' anyone other than Kamila and this boy from seventh grade. I don't know where he is, and I hardly remember him, but I remember really liking him.

I definitely don't think I'm gay.

The rumor about me being gay started in ninth grade when me and a dude had to go into a closet for Seven Minutes in Heaven. We didn't kiss or anything. Everyone sort of just made up that we did.

Ever since, I was called gay, until I started going out with Kamila. People generally stopped calling me gay after that, except a couple annoying kids.

I don't want the rumor to come back. It destroyed a lot for me, and my parents are really religious-- I can't have them hearing about it.

And even if I were gay, it wouldn't matter, because I like Kamila enough to want to stay with her.

Everything is fine. I don't need to figure myself out or fix anything. I'm fine.

3rd Person Pov

The Glee Club is not doing Britney Spears. The decision has been made, but the group is still just as upset about it.

So instead of singing Britney Spears, the New Directions are listening to Miss Pillsbury's boyfriend, Carl, talk about dentistry.

Mr Schue has a huge crush on Miss Pillsbury, but he won't act on it. Besides, she's sort of... in a relationship already.

"Can I just say, you are the hottest dentist I have ever seen?" Santana says.

"Santana!" Kamila whisper-shouts.

"I get that all the time," Carl responds, chuckling softly.

"No, like, seriously, you can totally drill me whenever--" Santana is almost instantly cut off by Miss Pillsbury.

"Okay!" Miss Pillsbury interjects, "Let's stay focused."

"Rock 'n roll, Ems." Carl agrees, "What about Mr Schue? This guy's pretty easy on the eyes too, right? And you know what? No matter how hard I tried, I bet I couldn't sing and dance like him."

Mr Schue chuckles bitterly, "Yeah, probably not."

"I will riot if we don't do Britney," Kamila argues, "We will all riot."

The Glee Club wants to do a Britney Spears song. Mr Schue is, to say the least, highly against the idea.
