Infuriated

,,Finn, Beca?" We were startled by Mr. Schuester who was coming our way. ,,Can you two please follow me to my office?" He asks us. Great, another person who tells me that I have to study. I close my locker and Finn and I follow Mr. Schuester to his office. On the way, I see Chloe talking to Aubrey about something. When she sees me, she waves at me but looks confused at the same time. I shrug my shoulders, so she understands that I don't know what Mr. Schuester wants either and she laughs. I could listen to her laugh all day! I'm so glad that my father never saw me sneak in yesterday, otherwise I would be in extremely much pain. ,,Take a seat." We sit down and Finn looks at me.

,,What did we do?" He whispers.

,,I have no idea." I tell him and watch Mr. Schuester while he sits down in his chair.

,,Beca, I will start with you." He tells me and grabs my tests. ,,I have noticed that your grades aren't good at all. Your math is too low to pass this school year."

,,What?!" If my father hears that, he'll beat me to death.

,,But I have an idea. How about you take some tutoring?"

,,Tutoring?" My father would laugh in my face at that idea.

,,Yes, you really need that if you want to pass this year." Mr. Schuester grabs a form. ,,This is a list of all the university freshmen who are doing a great job at math and who can teach you a few things."

,,Who is on that list?" Finn asks Mr. Schuester.

,,Take a look for yourself, Beca." Mr. Schuester gives me the form. My eyes scan the many names. Alice... Aubrey... Melissa... Stephanie... Mariska... I stop at the next name.

,,Chloe." I say out loud.

,,She's a top student in math. I think she can teach you a few things." Damn it! I did say her name out loud, didn't I? I look over at Finn and he smiles at me. He raises his eyebrows in a knowing way. Dude, stop! It's not like we'll be girlfriends after this! And I didn't say I wanted her as my partner. Maybe I should pick Stephanie? Finn notices my doubt and looks at Mr. Schuester.

,,She would love to get tutoring from Chloe, Mr. Schue." I give him a look.

,,Wonderful, I'll let her know okay?" I just nod quietly.

,,Was that all?" Finn wants to get up, but Mr. Schue lets him sit down again.

,,Sit down Finn. Your case is something way more serious." He grabs something and lays it on the desk. It's a packet of marijuana. My eyes widened. Does Finn use that? I look over towards my best friend, but he's shocked. So he doesn't? ,,You want to tell me how long you've had a drug problem?" Mr. Schuester asks Finn.

,,I don't even know who the Chronic Lady is." He claims when he sees the label.

,,Look, if it were up to me, we wouldn't have mandatory bi-weekly afternoon locker checks."

,,But I've never seen that before, Mr. Schue, I swear. It's not mine." Well, how did it end up in his locker? Maybe Puck did that as a prank?

,,Look, possession is eight-tenths of the law. I'm pretty sure that pot is a felony. You could be kicked out of school."

,,What?!" Finn looks at me for help.

,,Mr. Schue, with all due respect but that, isn't Finn's."

,,Well, it was inside his locker. Look, Finn. We have two options here. I'm running detention now, so you can do six weeks after school, but that's gonna remain on your permanent record."

,,What's the other option, Mr. Schue?"

,,Joining the Glee club, we're missing students to compete."

,,Those are the only options?" Mr. Schuester nods and Finn sighs. ,,Okay, fine. I'll join the Glee club." He tells Mr. Schue, who seems a little too happy about that.
