Her Warbler

14

First day of school... I didn't want to go... however I promised Marley I'd help her.
I know... it's stupid that I broke up with Sebastian, however, I didn't want him to make this choice. I made the choice for him.

I felt like my world was crumbling down. First break up, and I don't have Quinn to help me through it. I was just going to have to go through it myself.

I got out of my bed at around 5 in the morning. I took a nice warm shower to wash my hair and my body. When I got out of the shower, I put my hair in a towel to let it dry. I slid over my bath robe over my naked body and walked back into my room. The nice thing was my bathroom had a door that led straight into my bedroom. I walked over to my closet and dug through my closet. A lot of these outfits reminded me of the many dates I had with Sebastian. Then, I found something that would do. I put the outfit on.

I pulled off the towel off of my head and began to blow dry my hair after putting a curling hair gel in my hair. Then, I put on my deodorant and brushed my teeth. I applied my make up.

I walked down to the kitchen and saw a $20 bill on the table with a note.

Here is money for lunch if you want it.
-Dad

I grabbed the $20, and put it in my pockets. I packed some snacks for in between glee club and school, and then made my way over to Marley's. I offered her a ride since she lived next door. She lived on the other side of my house and Quinn's mom lives on the other side of it.

I grabbed my keys and as I opened the door I saw Marley about ready to knock at the door.

"Hey," I let out a small smile.

"Hi, am I late?" She asked with a concerned expression on her face.

"No, you are right on time." I nodded. We walked to where my car was parked in the driveway and got in. I began to talk about some of the clubs that I would recommend. I even suggested Glee Club. She should join it. I mean, come on, who doesn't like glee club. We pulled into the parking lot, and made our journey into the building. I took one step and I already felt the people wanting to talk to me.

"What's up, blogosphere? Jacob Ben Israel here, back on the street with an exclusive look at McKinley's newest celebrities, the New Directions!" The one guy I recognized from the many bad reports he did of the glee club. "Giselle Archer. Is it true you have been dating your competition?" He asked me.

"Okay, I'm not gonna deal with you. You like to try and mix everything up and you have harassed the glee club since day one so go the hell away." I snickered. "Come on Marley," I quickly pulled her away from the camera.

"What was that all about?" She questioned.

"Let's just say, winning Nationals makes you very popular in the public eye." I sighed. "Alright what was your locker again?" I asked.

"Locker 435." She answered.

"Oh, it's right here." I pointed out. "Ironically my locker is next to yours." I smiled.

"Cool!" She grinned.

"So history is down the hall and is the first door on the left side after you turn to the right." I explained.

"Okay, thank you!" She smiled.

"No problem! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." I stated. "Listen, I need to get to AP French, so I will see you around." I waved as I left her at her locker.

After a long day of first day of school classes, I walked into the choir where everybody was just smiling and having a good time. It felt odd not seeing the graduates. The room was missing some of the key people in glee.

"Glee! We are coming off of a National Championship, but it's time to look forward, And thanks to Glee now being the coolest club in the school," Mr. Schuester announced with a smile. We all clapped and cheered. "Yes, we've lost some big voices. But we still have some huge ones in here." Looking over in the direction of Blaine and I. "And I promise to do everything I can to replace the ones that we lost. And on that note, I'd like to introduce you to our newest member: The MVP of last year's nationals, Wade "Unique" Adams." He introduced. I clapped and smiled.

"That's a great haircut, Mercedes." Brittany commented. "I thought you graduated." I just gave her an odd look.

"I wanted to be somewhere where different was celebrated." Wade smiled.

"We are so excited to have you. Guys where's the love?" Mr. Schuester looked over at Blaine, Tina, and Brittany.

"I think Wade is great, but the competition to be the new Rachel is already so intense," Blaine started. "the last thing that we need is one more contender."

"The New Rachel?" I asked.

" Every glee club needs a star performer.
Rachel was that, and now that she's gone, many of us want the job." Tina filled me in.

"Okay, we don't win with stars." I pointed out.

"Exactly, we win as a team. One that supports new members." Mr. Schuester stated. "Now, I don't want to hear any more of this this "New Rachel" stuff, okay?" He demanded. "Have a seat, Wade." Wade walked over and sat down in front of me. I knew they weren't going to let this 'New Rachel' stuff go. However that was the least of my problems at the moment.

I got home, and saw a bouquet of roses on my porch step. I bent over and read the note.

Please can we just work this out?
-Sebastian

I knew we probably could, but I don't want him to have to worry about his secret getting out. I grabbed my phone out and shot him out a text.

To: Sebastian
Hey, I'm very flattered, but we are better off as friends. I don't want you to have to deal with someone wanting to expose your secret that you don't want everybody knowing.

I put my phone in my pocket and opened my door carrying the roses. I felt my eyes begin to water and my heart hurt more than it had last night when we first broke up.

I went into my room and through my backpack on the floor and just laid in the bed looking at the roses. I feel like my other half has just disappeared from my life all together. The tears just kept steaming.

It's stupid that I dump him. My best friend of all time won't be back here until Thanksgiving since she is busy doing Yale stuff. I felt alone. It's been awhile since I have felt this.

Very sad chapter for Giselle. :(
I mean it's a little boring since Sebastian wasn't in this chapter a hella lot but I mean— it's kind of sad at the moment.😓
