"Roxy Henderson! Another question please!" I heard Jacob Ben Israel screaming while walking after me. I panted exasperated and did a last sprint to enter to the choir room.

"Feeling sporty kiddo?" I heard my best friend Finn joke when he saw me. I stuck out my tongue at him and sat on my chair next to my other best friends Mercedes and Quinn. After an uneventful summer in which I basically did nothing except crying when Matt Rutherford, my fellow glee clubber, neighbor and childhood friend moved to another town, I looked like crap.“It's only the first day, give sophomore year a little time. It'll get better” I thought.

"These are comments from Jacob Ben Israel's most recent glee club blog: “Glee is a giant ball of suck”" Mr Schue said looking extremely tired.

"We get it Mr Schue, everyone still hates us, but now none of us really care" Kurt said.

"Yeah, we're a family. They can bring it all they want but none of it is gonna break us" Mercedes continued.

"I'm happy to hear that guys, but all this negative stuff is keeping other students from auditioning and now since Matt transferred", everyone stared at me sadly but I did the peace sign with my fingers trying to mean that I was okay. However Mercedes hugged me, knowing that it was too soon for me. She always seemed to know what's inside my head better than myself. "We need new members to compete, and this year we have to win regionals and get to nationals. If we want to beat Vocal Adrenaline we have to become a giant wall of sound".

"Mr Schue's right. You didn't see them perform at regionals, they were epic" Rachel said, and Finn fastly agreed with her.

"What do you suggest Mr Schue?" I asked, talking for the first time that day.

"Here's the plan" he responded excited. "Nationals are in New York this year", everyone clapped, excited. "Let's show them how cool it's going to be. If they don't come to us, we'll go to them. Let's show them how down we are", he smirked. "Let's give 'em the song of the year New Directions style!"

Everyone clapped excited as the bell rang. I was going to go to history class when Mr Schue suddenly stopped me.

"Roxy can you stay here for a minute?" you sighed and turned around to face him. "I wanted to be sure that you are okay. I know all this Matt stuff is hard for you but I know he'd want you to be happy and find someone to be on glee club. I promise that this year will be worth it okay?" I nodded as he clapped my shoulder gently and finally got out of the class.

"Everything all right Ro?" Quinn asked. She had waited for me. I nodded and we both went to meet the rest of the glee club to plan what it'll be the first performance of the year: Empire State Of Mind

...

It was a disaster. As usual. Nobody showed any interest in auditioning to glee, so after a short reunion we decided to put up sign-up papers all around school. Well, and throwing Rachel's to the bin.

I was going down the hallway but I went back when I passed through the choir room. I had seen a blonde head I had never seen before

"So Sam tell us about yourself" I heard Finn. I decided to stay at the door and watched Finn, Puck, Artie and Mike seated; the blond guy was facing them so you couldn't see his face. I text-messaged Mike:

From: Roxy
To: Mike Glee🕺

Look at the door

As he felt his phone buzz, he checkd it and looked at me confused.

Chat w/ Mike Glee🕺
