AND THAT'S WHAT YOU MISSED ON GLEE: TNG!

It was 7:30am when Christina Schuester and Britney Schuester were sleeping peacefully; until their mother, Holly Holliday; came in and turned on the light and yelled: "WAKE UP, FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL; PRETEND YOU CARE PLEASE!" UGH! A grunt came from both of the teenagers' mouths.
"Five more minutes," Britney said, sleepily.
"NOPE," Holly said almost too proudly. "Breakfast is on the table and the last one up by 8am; gets to walk to school. See you at the table." she closed the door a little too loud and went to the kitchen.
"I don't want to go to hell," Britney said, with her eyes still closed.
"Get up, Brit," Christina yawned. "You really want to walk all the way to school?"
"Like to believe her..."
"I don't think she's kidding..." Christina got up from her bed and made it. She went to the closet and grabbed some cute clothes from American Eagle and put it on with cute Ugg boots and did her hair with the ponytail on her left shoulder. She grew it out during the summer, but has considered getting it cut for the school year. Britney got up and threw her blankets on the floor and didn't bother making her bed and went to grab a t-shirt she got from Hot Topic and some sweats and tennis shoes. She just wanted the day over with.
"I am totally not looking forward to this," Britney said with a fake preppy voice.
"It's just seven periods plus lunch...it's not THAT bad," Christina hoped her "pep" talk will help ease Britney's anxiety.
"Might as well be 24/7!" Britney grabbed her bookbag and went into the kitchen with her older sister following her trail. "So..." Britney dropped her bag in the nearest chair and stared at both of her parents. "...How can I get out of Hades today?"
"Brit..." Will Schuester, their father, said. "...it's not going to be that bad."
"It's middle school...have you ever been in one?" Will sighed and rolled his eyes. Holly gathered her things and looked at Brit.
"Britney, it's going to be fine," Holly started. "...and if it isn't-"
"-Don't say it-"
"-There's always tomorrow!" Britney grunted.
"You riding with me today," Holly asked the young girl.
"Do I have a choice?"
"Yeah, there's walking." Holly gave a smartass smile.
"Guess not..." Britney grabbed her bag and put it on and headed out the door with Holly.
"You're riding with me," Will asked Christina.
"I guess, I mean if only I could drive-" Christina began to start until she was interrupted.
"-Not yet...not that I'll let you."
"Daddy..."
"Don't daddy me; you're not ready!"
"I've been taking Driver's ED all summer though!"
"Doesn't mean I'll let you drive..." he finished his coffee and headed out the door with her following him. He locked the door and they got in his car.
"So, because I'm your daughter and you don't want me to grow up; you won't let me drive?"
"Yep, pretty much." Christina gave him a look. "OK, fine; when you get your license...I might be less strict; but don't get your hopes up." He started to drive.

They arrived at William McKinley High School; Will parked and got his bag and got out of the car and locked the door when Christina got out.
"Don't forget Glee Club after school," Will said. Christina turned around and sighed. "What?"
"I don't want to do Glee this year..." she admitted. "...I'm trying out for Cheerios again..."
"Chris...you know Coach Sylvester might not let you join again; since you quit last year."
"Does it hurt to try?"
"Please do Glee again; we love you there."
"Pfft...not everyone," she thought of how Beth and her new "posse" treat her last year, because of Beth's jealousy or whatever.
"Chris..."
"FINE...I'll do both then." She walked off and went inside to find Charlie Cahn, her boyfriend for almost a year. She couldn't find him so she went to her locker and put her stuff up. She closed her locker and turned around...into a slushy. Great, she thought. Already the first slushy of the year... She went to the restroom and tried to clean herself up...with failure. "What am I going to wear now?"
"Maybe your gym clothes," a familiar voice answered. Christina turned around and saw Clarice Jordan, her former frenemy and now (practically) best friend.
"Clarice?!"
"Christina!" They hugged.
"I guess I have to resort to smelling like a gym floor for the day..."
"...Please tell me you don't have the same gym wear from last year and never washed it this summer..."
"...No...I'm trying out for Cheerios at study break; which is first period."
"Ah!"
"Yeah, but my hair is ruined for the day....unless..." Christina looked in the mirror and hiked up her hair and imagined it with short hair.
"Whatcha doing..."
"Do you happened to have scissors?"
"Why..." Clarice said as she grabbed scissors out of her backpack.
"You'll see..."

Britney was in her first period and was already hating the day. Some of the popular girls from the past two years were in her class and she knew they will bully her sooner than later. She then saw Sean, her (only) best friend and she smiled. Sean sat next to her. "Hey," he said, smiling.
"Hey," Britney smiled a big smile. "Haven't seen you much this summer..."
"Yeah, football camp than football practice right after camp."
"Oh." She looked at her hands while playing with them.
"So, we have English together; that's cool!"
"Yeah," Britney smiled again.
"Maybe we'll get a project we can work on together?"
"Maybe." Britney felt awkward. Sean was her best friend and all, but they haven't spoke since 7th grade ended and was afraid he's changed into one of the populars.
"We can work on any first day homework at your house if you like?"
"Yeah, that be great; my mom keeps bugging me to bring friends. Apparently that one small time you came over 'doesn't count'." Britney rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"Well I'd be delighted."

It was Cheerios tryouts in the gymnasium and Christina was nervous how it would go; hopefully Coach Sylvester will just see her and accept her from her past "tryout". "NEXT," she heard her yelled from outside the gym. Christina sighed and walked in and looked at her.
"No," Sue said.
"Coach Sylvester," Christina started. "Come on, I was your best Cheerio-"
"-Yeah and then you quit; how can I be so sure you're not going to do that again?"
"I promise I won't!" Sue thought about it.
"Fine...NEXT!"

It was after school and it was Glee club time! Everyone filed in and some looked happy and others obviously didn't want to be there. Christina walked in, happily and sat next to Charlie.
"Where have you been," Christina asked her boyfriend.
"Had a different schedule this year from you, I think." Christina just shrugged and smiled. "Why are you happy?"
"Just got back on the Cheerios," Christina squealed.
"Really...I guess, congrats?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"She kind of treats you--and everyone, like crap."
"It makes me happy, ok?"
"Ok." He sighed and put his arm around her and looked to the front. Mr. Schuester walked in and smiled.
"Hey, guys," he exclaimed. "Nice to see the same people back this year!"
"Don't get your hopes up, Schuester," Will looked to see who said that and it was no other than Clara Lanes.
"Why is that, Ms. Lanes?"
"We lost...again! No one is going to join and we're going to lose again."
"Nice going, Clara..." Lenny Davis mumbled.
"What it's true...everyone might as well prepare to lose."
"That's enough, Clara," Will said, getting frustrated.
"Whatever."
"I think we could recruit more people; we do have enough people and all, but we want to be this big giant wall of sound eventually...so why not start? Even if it takes all semester or all year, if someone eventually joins that's a start I'm willing to be proud of. What about you, guys?"
"I guess..." Beth Corcoran said.
"So the only lesson this week is getting people to Audition."
"Might as well, let them join; we all got in and some of us are not talented *cough* Beth *cough*." Beth gave her a death glare.
"That's enough, Clara."

After school, Britney brought Sean home and put her backpack on the table and Sean put his on a chair and they sat down and got their work out. Wasn't that much, just basic first day of school work such as syllabus and about yourselves work. Britney didn't understand why Sean thought they would have more. "Honey, where's the-" Holly stopped at stared at Sean. "Sean...why are you here?"
"We're doing homework," Britney said. "Don't understand why, it's only basic stuff; nothing too hard." Sean looked at Holly.
"Oh," Holly said and smiled. "How long will you be here, Sean?"
"Until 5:30; have to head home by then to get ready for football practice," Sean explained.
"So, you can't stay for dinner?"
"Sorry, ma'am; I can't."
"Ok, thanks for stopping by; you should stay for dinner sometime soon."
"I plan to; thanks."
After Sean had left, Holly started to ask Britney a lot of questions. It was getting on Britney's nerves. "MOM, you asked these questions last time...they're still the same," Britney exclaimed. Holly sighed and went back to cook dinner. Christina and Will came in from late Glee recruitment thing that Will started the last minute.
"Did you guys get anyone," Holly asked.
"Nope, because, in the words of the 'great and powerful' Clara Lanes; WE. ARE. LOOOOSERS," Christina exclaimed and sat down.
"We're not losers," Will said, hopeful.
"Dad, we lost regionals for the 17th time in the row...that's an all time low."
"If we just believe in ourselves; we'll be fine!"
"Sure." Christina played with her new short hair; which didn't catch anyone's attention till then.
"When did you cut your hair...it was long this morning?"
"Cut it myself in the girls' restroom."
"Why?"
"I got the first slushy of the school year and trying to wash my hair in the moldy sinks is an even all time lower than being losers in the Glee Club world. Never thought I say that sentence in my life." Britney looked up from her book and rolled her eyes.
"Your hair is already greasy...what's the hurt," Britney said, blankly. Christina gave her a look. "I mean, I'm just being honest."
"Don't."
"Whatever..."
