somethin' stupid

season 1 episode 3

ALL THE MEMBERS OF GLEE CLUB stand in a line that spreads horizontally across the choir room. i'm standing between quinn and finn

"step ball change, step ball change" mr. schuester sings as we try to execute his dance moves "and uh huh huh huh" he continues to sing in rhythm

rachel raises her hand which prompts everyone to look in her direction

"rachel, you don't have to ask me everytime you need to use the bathroom" mr. schuester says, hands on his hips.

"this has nothing to do with my bladder." she says, "it's our dance moves. i think that in order to beat Vocal Adrenaline, we need to hire Dakota Stanley. He's the best choreographer in the Midwest"

quinn nudges me to speak

"uh, wasn't he the understudy for the candelabra in beauty and the beast on broadway?" i ask, finn glaring at me

"has he even performed?" mr. schue asks, shifting his eyes between rachel and i

quinn smirks, "have you ever performed? or even tried?"

i bite my lip at the snarky remark.

the bell breaks the tension and everyone grabs their bags to head to class

"wasn't that a little harsh?" i ask, turning my head at quinn

"eh, we gotta do what we gotta do" she shrugs

i open my locker up and i see a blonde ponytail appear next to the steel door

"hey brittany" i smile, organizing my books

"so, since the election is coming up soon i figured we could make a speech in glee club" brittany says

"i looked over at some of posters we drafted and i think there's a few we can start hanging up" i pick out some of the papers i have in my locker and hand them to britt "just go hang them everywhere you can think of"

"my mom made you some buttons to give out" she hands me a basket full of buttons with our faces on them

"oh. thanks" i take one in my hand and inspect it. pretty well made as a matter of fact "i'll start handing them out. here you go" i give brittany one and she pins it on her uniform

"okay, i'll vote for you"

"well, we're running together. i assumed you would vote for yourself?"

"oh duh" brittany smiles and twirls off, starting to post my posters on the walls

I START WALKING TO SPANISH where i'm greeted by finn

"so you've started campaigning i see?" he says walking besides me

"yup, can i interest you in a button? just pledge to vote davis- pierce for class president"

"hm, i'm not sure. i think i pledged to vote for someone else. sorry"

i nudge finn

"shut up" i say as he smirks "just take the fucking button"

"i'll wear it with pride" finn looks at me with all seriousness on his face besides his crooked smile then he salutes me

"at ease soldier" i giggle saluting him back

mr. schue's spanish lesson for today consisted of us pairing off and playing battleship with different conjugations for ar verbs

"partner?" finn turns to me

"obviously"

finn reads over the paper with the rules and instructions
