"As we head into sectionals, I want some feedback. What music would you guys like to do."

Mr Schue yapped on as I had my head leaning on Santana's shoulder, she was fiddling with the rings on my left hand.

"Maybe give other people solos- not just Rachel."
I muttered so only Santana could hear, she gave me a soft smile.

I wondered for a moment why Mr Schuester only cared now about our opinions on what music we sing but then I remembered how Coach Sue was also part of this Glee club and there was clear tension between them. I rememberd back to the meeting with our cheeleading coach we had a few hours prior.

"Quinn. Update, go." Sue ordered.

"The minority students don't feel like they're being heard."
Quinn rehearsed.

I looked over at Santana who had her head low, Quinn was right- this wasn't just the Finn and Rachel show. I snapped out of my thoughts as Sue threw a coin, she picked heads so of course heads was picked.

"All right, following students have been selected to join a special Glee Club called Sue's kids."
Sue explains.

"When you hear your name called, cross over to the side of this black shiny thing"

"Thats a piano." Schue adds.

"Santana, Madeleine, Wheels, Gay kid, move it! Asian, other Asian, Aretha, shaft and Ken Doll."

I rolled my eyes as Thomas joined our group but I made sure to return Santana's adorable smile.

"See Will, I dont want to participate in a group that ignores minority students."
Sue sneers.

"You've got to be kidding me!"
Schue exclaims.

"Maybe thats your problem, bigotry is no laughing matter."
Sue snaps.

"And that's how-"
I start

"Sue sees it."
Santana continues as we hold up or hands into C's.

Sue whips her head around and smiles brightly at us.
"Outstanding." Sue praises.

We all sat around in the choir room waiting for Sue to join us, I was worried how she'd treat us but when she walked in with the Brass band all smiles my worries disappeared. She was never this nice at Cheerios practice. I knew she was up to something but I was more glad she wasn't screaming at us.
She hands us out sheet music and Mercedes gets excited when she realises its an R&B song.

"Parks and Changster I wanna see some of that pop and lock I know your famous for."

Sue points at Mike and I and I feel my cheeks burn red, not many people knew I loved to dance. Mike caught me dancing earlier that week and we put together a routine but it was meant to be a secret, I don't think he yapped but I'm sure my big sister Charl told Sue all about our living room dance parties.

"I didn't know you danced."
Santana says elbowing me with a grin on her face.

"I don't." I say simply staring straight ahead.

"Ohh she does! Come on Mads, our dance matches this song." I allow Mike to pull me out of my seat.

Mike and I danced around the group while Mercedes took the lead. I could feel Santana's eyes burning through my head watching me.

Santana's Pov;

Madeleine was good. I knew she had some moves from our cheerio routines but watching her in her element dancing with Mike was incredible. She had all this talent yet she never admitted to it or had the confidence to show it, it made my heart hurt knowing that, that girl definitely has a set of pipes that she's too afraid to use.
After our performance, I caught up with Madeleine at her locked. I watched her try and put in her locker combination- she's been here months and still finds it tricky. Her face was so cute when it was scrunched up and concentrated, eventually she got it and I slid in beside her.
