Due to Sam receiving an interview with Hunter College, we had been practising as many possible questions that we could think of to try and prepare him for this important meeting. He was going to New York this week, with Blaine, for his interview and he didn't really seem nervous. I would be very nervous if my interview was coming up, but this kind of highlighted to me that Sam wasn't interested that much in college and was only applying to satisfy all of us.
Maybe when he got to New York, he would realise what he actually wanted to do and I would support him no matter what. But at the same time, I was worried about what was going to happen when I had to tell him the truth about my application. When we had talked about the application, I told him that I had applied for Hunter as well, so that we could attend it together.
But that was a lie. I freaked out because I thought that he would be mad at me for my real answer. I didn't want to go to Hunter College, or even New York in general because that wasn't my dream and it had never been my dream. Of course, I wanted to stay in a relationship with Sam but it wasn't going to be easy; if he even wanted to stay with me once he knew the truth then we would be hours away from each other. A lot of hours away. And I don't know if we could manage that.
The truth was, that my dream had come to me after we lost Finn. He had been trying to make a life for himself, finding something that he loved and it inspired me to take on his dream and make it my own. Therefore, I had applied to Stanford, the best school in the US for education degrees. Finn had wanted to become a teacher so he could inspire the next generation, but he wasn't going to be able to reach that goal, so now I was taking over and I was going to make sure that I would be a teacher, he would be proud of.
"Ready for the Glee meeting?" Sam asked, tapping my shoulder and bringing me out of my thoughts as I stood by my locker.
"Yeah, sorry, I was just thinking."
He nodded, knowing that it was common for me to zone out sometimes. "What were you thinking about?"
I closed the door to my locker and swung my rucksack over my shoulder, walking with him down the corridor and towards the choir room. He had a thick jacket on and his duffel bag hung over his shoulder because today he was leaving for New York with Blaine. His interview wasn't until later in the week but they wanted to take some time to prepare whilst they were in the city and we all agreed that it was the best decision to make.
"Just about your interview and the fact that I'll have to survive Glee without you and Blaine this week." I smiled, hoping that my cover story worked and his smile seemed to comfort me that it did.
"I'll still call you every night to check on you and you won't be here alone; you still have Tina and Artie and Kitty-"
"So, you're leaving me with a couple and a hag. Wow, I'm so grateful."
"They're not that bad." He shrugged, pushing my shoulder gently. "Besides, they can help you with your own interview questions. If I got an interview with Hunter then you'll get yours soon enough."
