Glee Club // Hunter Clarington

{Chapter 31} 4 : 16

Rose's POV

"Mr. Shue, Finn, thank you for agreeing to this sit-down. We've all noticed the tension between you ever since Finn admitted he kissed Miss Pillsbury." Artie says. "No surprise. Finn has been acting like he's losing his mind." Tina continues. Blaine gets up and writes 'Feuds' on the boards. "You're feuding. And it needs to stop." Blaine puts the marker down and comes back to sit.

"Seriously. It's like Hatfields and McCoys in here." Artie comments and I nod in agreement. "So epic musical feuds is our theme. And for the first time in Glee Club history, we are giving you, our fearless leaders, an assignment." Blaine turns to be edging me to talk. "You two will explore and resolve your differences my performing a song together inspired by a classic musical rivalry." I explain.

"Guys..." Mr. Shue begins. "Regionals are coming up, Mr. Shue, and if we're gonna have any chance of winning, we need both of you." I interrupt. "On the same page and on the same team." Blaine concludes our 'meeting' and Mr. Shue and Finn look at each other.

Ryder and Unique have just finished their feud in Glee Club. I feel something shift on my head and I look over to see Hunter straightening the plastic tiara on my head. During the performance Unique passed the tiara's out to the girls and Artie. I smile at him and he takes my hand and interlocks our fingers.

"Wow, guys, that was incredible. What inspired that mashup?" Mr. Shue asks. "I mean, the thing was feuds so we just..." Ryder starts but is cut off my Unique. "So Unique demanded mediation." Unique glares into the distance. "Well, the awesome things about fueds is that once all the anger has gotten out, you can shake on it and let bygones be bygones." Blaine mentions, walking over to the two in the middle of the room.

"Unique would happily shake Ryder's hand, but first... say I'm a girl." Unique turns to Ryder and he lowers his hand. "Look, I'm just so confused, okay? Yesterday you're dressed as a boy; today you're a girl. What-what bathroom do you use? I mean make up your mind." Ryder finishes and my jaw drops. That was way out of line.

"It doesn't matter what you see. You don't get to decide for me." Unique fires back and walks out of the room. "You are a douchebag, dude. I mean, in this room we can be whatever we want to be."

"In the 90's, the media pitted two of America's hottest music groups against one another in an epic clash for pop culture supremacy." Mr. Shue states. "And just so y'all know, we will be joinin this performance because we are basically Switzerland, and we support all parties that are involved. Thank you." Artie explains why the boys are up on stage. "Whatever. Begin, please." Kitty demands.

During the I notice who was on who's side. Literally, not figuratively. On Finn's side was Artie, Sam, and Ryder. On Mr. Shue's side was Blaine, Jake, and Hunter. They finish and the girls cheer loudly. 

"Well, the love on the stage is obvious. You two bros need to just hug it out." Sam says. "I'm in." Finn agrees. "What do you say, Mr. Shue?" Mr. Shue sighs. "I-I want to, Finn. I-I really do, I just... I can't." he answers and I frown. "Fine. Cool. There's nothing I can do or say to win back your trust. I get it. For whatever it's worth, thanks. For everything." Finn turns and walks away.

Blaine and Sue are now in the process of feuding. Both are really good, but it's like Sue is walking all over Blaine. "And that, ladies, gays, and in-betweeners, and hag for life, is how it's done." Sue concludes the performance. "Impressive, Sue, both of you." Mr. Shue compliments. Blaine wasn't having it. "But Coach Sylvester used like, feathers and a black light, and she brought in the Cheerios." Blaine argues.
