Now that West Side Story is done, I can put all my focus into glee club. I still feel down about Mercedes, Santana and Brittany leaving New Directions for Shelby's all-girl glee club, the Trouble Tones. But I'm going to be supportive and be a good sport at Sectionals.

Everyone can sense the tension between Finn and Santana. I know it's been there since last year when Santana told Rachel that Finn wasn't a virgin. I'll never get that conversation out of my head.

Right now, Puck's singing 'Hot for Teacher' by Van Halen. It's a good song, but why is Puck singing about...?

Oh.

My.

God.

He's in love with Shelby.

[Hot for Teacher by Puck]

Everyone claps for Puck's performance.

"Puck, guys, spectacular!" Mr. Shue cheers. "What a way to start off this week! You guys didn't even need an assignment to work on this. You just did it." Mr. Shue says.

"Mr. Schuester, while the performance was excellent – particularly the drumming – don't you think that the subject matter is a little inappropriate?" I ask.

"Well, that depends on what Puck's intent was when he chose this song." Mr. Shue answers.

"I guess I just, uh, dig Van Halen." Puck replies.

"All right!" Mike says.

"Rock on!" Finn says.

"Yep, good job, guys." Mr. Shue states.

We're having rehearsal in the auditorium. And it's ironic that the Trouble Tones are also having rehearsal in the auditorium.

"What are you doing here?" Finn asks Santana.

"Shelby told us she had something to show us. What are you doing here?" Santana answers.

"Mr. Shue said the same thing." Finn states.

"Let me guess, he wants to combine choirs for Sectionals." Santana remarks. "Well, it's not gonna happen. The Trouble Tones are here to stay. So why don't you shuffle your busted choir off our stage."

"Look, you guys, we can compete without being enemies. All right? We don't have to get vicious." I tell them. I really hate fighting, especially with my friends.

"Oh, I think we do, Angel. See, the Trouble Tones are 3F: fierce, femme, phenomenal." Santana tells me.

"Phenomenal is actually spelled with a P." I say. Santana ignores me, which kinda hurts.

"Oh, and, guys, hurry up, go get some moist towels. We have to keep Finn wet before we can roll him back in the sea." Santana says.

"Okay, you know what, Santana, Finn is in great shape, and your meanness only highlights your own personal insecurities." Rachel claims.

I don't know why she's defending my boyfriend, but I have to agree with her. Finn is in amazing shape.

"And, Rachel, your mustache is thicker than a Middle Eastern dictator's." Santana bites back.

"And all three of you are acting like children." I say in a serious tone. Rachel gets quiet, Finn looks down, and even Santana backs down from whatever she was about to say.
