Sophomore Year [glee fanfic, Finn Hudson]

Wheels

The Cheerios were performing a cheerleading routine with jump ropes while Coach Sue was pacing in front of us. I noticed JewFro and Quinn in the stands watching. She shouldn't be doing this to herself. I noticed Finn come into the gymnasium and walk up to Quinn, around half way through the performance she got up and left. Wait, what if he told her about our second kiss? God, I'm such a slut. Since I was near the front of the routine I listened into the conversation Sue was having with Jacob.

"My blog has lit up with comments suggesting you don't have a shot at Nationals since you lost Quinn Fabray." He said while sticking a microphone into her face.
"No, the Cheerios are stronger than ever. We're gonna take nationals with this routine." She said as the routine finished and she raised her bullhorn. "Mediocre. Hit the showers." I sighed and lifted up my water bottle and went to leave. "Collins back here now." She said and I grunted and turned around to walk back.
"Yes coach?" I asked.
"Since Quinn Fabray got her eggs fertilised I would like for you to take over as captain of the Cheerios" she said as she put her bullhorn down.
"Me?" I questioned. "Half of the girls on the team hate me"
"Only because they're jealous" she said "you know I see a young Sue Sylvester in you. Not afraid to take on the world even though your boyfriend probably slept with half of the team" she said and I scoffed. "Anyway, congratulations Collins." She said and walked out of the gym.
"Umm thanks" I called out and ran out of the gym to shower. As I left I noticed JBI continuing his interview.

"I have several sources reporting Quinn didn't want to leave, but you kicked her out because of the pregnancy scandal." He said sticking the microphone in coach's face.
"Well, Jacob, this is Ohio. And in order to win, my Cheerios need to appeal to that panel of judges. So if I have a pregnant girl doing a handspring into a double layout, the judges aren't going to be admiring her impeccable form, they're going to be wondering if the centrifugal force is going to make the baby's head start crowning. Oh, and by the way, all this: off the record." She said and she took his recorder, "Probably should have told you that earlier."

I walked into glee club and noticed Tina watching Artie as he tried to tie his shoelaces, and Puck was listening in on a conversation Quinn and Finn were having. I took a deep breath and sat next to the boy who I had once hated, sure he was a bit of an ass but we were going through the same thing.

"All right, guys." Mr Shue said as he smacked his hands together while walking into the choir room. " We're doing a new number for Sectionals." He continued and started passing out sheet music. "I know that pop songs have sort of been our signature pieces, but I did a little research on past winners, and it turns out that the judges like songs that are more accessible. Stuff they know. Uh, standards, Broadway."

" 'Defying Gravity'? I have an iPod shuffle dedicated exclusively to selections from Wicked. This is amazing." Kurt said excitedly with a smile on his face.

Mr Shue smiled at the young boy and turned to Rachel.

"Think you can handle it, Rachel?" He asked while handing her a sheet of music.

"It's my go-to shower song. It's also my ring tone." She said proudly and I just scoffed.
I quickly looked over at Kurt and he looked devastated.

"Why do we have to go all vanilla on this song? See, what we need is my chocolate thunder." Mercedes suggested.

"Yeh Mr Shue why can't we try something a little different" I said while looking at Kurt.

"Okay, we don't have time to rearrange a song for you, Mercedes. Rachel is singing it. Don't worry, we'll find something for you to dip in chocolate." He said which made the room erupt in a short giggle. "On to item two. The school won't pay for the special bus we need to take Artie and his wheelchair with us to sectionals."
