I tried not to fall asleep on Kurt's shoulder, but this lesson was too much. Don't get me wrong, Mr Schue is a good teacher, but he always seems to only give us lessons with old adult music we don't listen to like this guy he just mentioned, Christopher Cross.

"I have a bad feeling about this lesson" Kurt whispered and moved his arm trying to wake me up. I yawned in all response.

"Never heard of him don't wanna hear about him" Tina said and I nodded but, however, our teacher gave us some sheets with songs for this week.

"How could you get caught between the moon and New York City? They're like a hundred miles apart" Finn questioned himself making me giggle.

"Mr Schue?" Kurt asked as he raised his hand, making me sit up properly. "If I may, it's not that we don't love the idea of spending a week on this silky smooth Adult Contemporary... It's just that as teens this isn't the easiest music for us to relate to. However, there is a Facebook campaign with 5 members demanding that this week at the fall homecoming assembly the McKinley High School's Glee club perform a number by. Wait for it..." he raised his finger to the sky making a dramatic pause "Miss Britney Spears".

Everyone agreed happy, but Mr Schue quickly said no and said a lot of teacher things about being a role model and stuff.

"But Mr Schue, we kinda grew up with her" Rachel remarked, being against our teacher for the first time.

"She is literally why I wanted to become a performer" Tina continued.

"If you look for the definition of legend on the dictionary, a picture of Britney shows up" I declared agreeing with everyone.

"I don't want to do Britney" Brittany whispered.

"Why not Britney, Brittany?" Kurt inquired.

"Because my name is also Britney Spears".

We all looked confused but, come on, it's Brittany. You get used to her and, let's face it, it's adorable, but not when it meant that we couldn't do Britney, because Mr Schue used that to forbid Britney this week.

After we were all dismissed I went to my locker to pick some books and do some last-minute homework at the library since I had free period. I opened its door and sat at the first free place I saw. I laid my books on the table and focused on working on my unfinished essay for a class I had the next day when someone touched my shoulder. I raised my gaze and met Sam's eyes.

"Hey"he said. I smiled gently wanting to get back to my work. "Last minute homework?"

"English, yeah. I stayed at Finn's for too long yesterday and I didn't have enough time to complete it" I answered looking frustrated at that half empty piece of paper. I felt Sam moving and when I looked at him he had sat opposite me.

"At Finn's?" he stared at me confused. "Are you guys dating or something?"

I let out a guffaw and after hearing a few "shh" towards me I got to calm myself down. "Finn's with Rachel. We are just really close friends".

"That's why he calls you kiddo all the time?"

I sighed and smiled. "Our moms have always been good friends and we know each other since like... forever I guess? And when my dad passed away Finn kind of adopted me. He's like a big brother to me and I suppose he still sees me like that little girl who always asked him for a hug when something bad happened to her". I smiled remembering how much Finn and I had lived together. I really love that guy.

"I-I didn't know about your dad I'm sorry Roxy" he quickly said a bit worried.

I shook my head. "It's fine. Anyway, what are you doing here? You have some homework to do too?" I asked smiling
