I was in my room, watching Carrie, one of my all time favorite horror movies, when I got a call.
A: Hello?
F: Hey Dayton.
A: Finn!
F: *laughs* I miss you.
A: I miss you too.
F: So what's going non? Anything interesting happen?
A: Oh! I have loads to tell you!
F: Yay, let's hear it.
A: Ok so first a gun went off at school and we had to go in lockdown.
F: Damn.
A: Apparently it was Coach Sue's gun and she got fired.
F: Wow, that's-
A: But all of this stuff brought me and Ryder back together.
F: Oh, wait I thought he cheated on you.
A: He sort of did, but he explained everything and now it's all good. He sang an Elton John song and told me he loved me.
F: Awwww, did you say it back?
A: Not then, but during the lockdown I did and now we're back together.
F: Well as long as you're happy.
A: Thanks Finn. Anyway enough about me, how are you? What's college like?
F: Oh it's great. My classes are fun and the people here are awesome.
A: That's good, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
F: Oh and guess what.
A: What?
F: Puck's my roommate.
A: What?! How?!
F: He basically kicked my other roommate out and moved in with me.
A: Wow, so what's he majoring in?
F: Nothing, he doesn't even go to the college, he's just here.
A: Wow, classic Puck. *laughs*
F: *laughs* Anyway I gotta go, class starts in fifteen minutes.
A: Alright, love you, bye.
F: Love you too, bye.
I got into glee club and was greeted by Ryder giving me a kiss on the cheek. He sat down and I sat in the chair next to him, criss crossing my legs as he put his arm around me. Everyone has been acting super strange after the whole gun shot thing. Brittany is freaking out because MIT found out about her perfect SAT scores and now they're pressuring her for early admission, Tina is all steampunk, Unique is taking birth control pills to make her boobs bigger, and Sam is pretending like he has a twin named Evan. Speaking of Sam or Evan, I get confused by "them", he walked in asking where Evan was, so that means he's Sam, right? Sam ran out of the room on the phone with Evan and seconds later, Evan came through the doors and sat down.
S: Sam isn't gonna be here, he's going to the zoo.
Mr. Shue came in and told us the theme for regionals, dreams. Mr. Shue said we'd start with Dream Weaver then Sweet Dreams and finally You Make My Dreams Come True. Everyone was pretty ok with the song selection, but in my opinion, Mr. Shue's lost it. I mean we sang You Make My Dreams Come True last year and the rest of the songs are from like the 80's. Marley apparently agreed with me, Mr. Shue realized that she was frowning and asked what was wrong. She said that she thought we should do original songs, which is a good idea, but apparently Mr. Shue didn't agree so he said no.
We all met up for a secret glee club meeting without Mr. Shue. We all talked about how much we hated the set list and that it was going to lose us regionals. Artie suggested current songs and then Marley stood up and asked if we could perform one of her songs, but Kitty kept pushing her down about the idea, so she just gave up. I asked her if I could see the songs and she handed me them. They were really good! I gave her a smile and I told her that we would get Mr. Shue to put one of them on the set list.
We all got into glee club and told Mr. Shue about our alternatives for the set list. Mr. Shue started to lecture us about how bad we were and that we were defying him. I just rolled my eyes at the entire thing, I honestly could give two shits, the set list is terrible and he should be thanking us for fixing it. Apparently Mr. Shue noticed me and started yelling at me.
Mr. S: Arica, I am sick and tired of your attitude and it needs to stop! You are such a spoiled brat!
A: Excuse me?! I'm a spoiled brat?! I'm poor Mr. Shue, I don't get what I want all of the time and I sure as hell am not a brat! We're all just being honest and telling you how we feel about this horse shit of a set list and if anything, you need to calm down! So the next time you think of calling me a brat or a diva or whatever, just remember me walking out of this room and you loosing one of your glee club members! *walks out*
R: Arica wait!
Mr. S: Arica...........
I stomped out of the room and slumped down on a locker. I saw Ryder walk up next to me.
A: I'm not in the mood for another lecture. I'll apologize to Mr. Shue later.
R: I'm not here to lecture you. *sits down next to Arica* You have every right to be pissed, he shouldn't have called you a brat, you're literally the opposite of that.
A: Thanks Ry.
R: You're not going to really quit are you?
A: No, I could never quit. Hate them or not, they're my family and I can never quit on family.
R: *smiles and kisses her temple* Love you.
A: Love you too.
I got into the auditorium with "Evan" and we all came onstage as Marley, Brad (piano guy), Blaine, and Unique came on as well.
M: I wrote a song. I don't know if it's any good, I just want to hear it out loud. It's about how much friends like you mean to me. I saw how upset you guys got after Mr. Shue yelled at us and you four seemed to take the worst part of it. So I wrote this song to make you feel better. Will you sing it with me?
A: Of course.
S: Hit it, dude (Brad).
Her song was called You Have More Friends Than You Know. It was amazing.
Mr. Shue's POV
I walked backstage into the auditorium to hear Marley, Arica, Blaine, Sam, and Unique singing a song. It was an original song by Marley. This must have been the songs she was talking about, they were amazing.
A: Marls, this is incredible!
B: We need to tell Mr. Shue about this.
M: No, he made it pretty clear he's not interested.
Did they really think that? I'm so interested, I need to rethink this set list. Wow, Arica was right. Oh no, Arica. I need to apologize to her.
Arica's POV
The bell rang, making history class over, thank god, I couldn't stand seeing Mr. Shue's face, I'm still pissed at him. I got my stuff and started to walk out as I heard Mr. Shue tell me to stay. I turned around and raised an eyebrow.
A: *rudely* What?
Mr. S: I wanted to apologize for what I said in glee club. You're not a spoiled brat and I should have never said that.
A: Thanks, can I go now?
Mr. S: *sighs* Take a seat.
A: *sits down*
Mr. S: This week has been stressful for me-
A: So what, am I suppose to feel sorry for you?
Mr. S: No, I just want you to know that I feel terrible and that I love and respect you.
For some reason, all of my anger went away and now I forgave him. I stood up and gave him a hug.
A: Thank you Mr. Shue. I'm sorry for being a bitch.
Mr. S: *laughs* You're far from that, Arica. You're an angel.
A: *laughs* I'll see you in glee club.
Great, everything's settled between us and now everything can go back to normal.
Finn came back! I gave him a bunch of hugs. I was so happy he came back. I missed him like crazy, even though he was only a few miles away.
