SPEECHLESS ~ S. Evans

14. Born This Way

"Alright guys, Nationals are just a few weeks away, and it's time to bear down." Mr. Shue tells the glee kids as he sits on the piano. "Now, your singing at regionals was amazing, but your dancing..." He tells them grimacing a bit as they all look around. "Its booty camp time! So, lets get it going, Five, six, seven, eight."

As he counts them in and the piano starts playing all of them Strat to dance working on the steps. "Push yourselves guys! Vocal adrenaline takes no prisoners." Mr. Shue tells them all.

Naomi was slightly behind Finn who was getting really into the dancing and swinging his arms around, and before she knew it she sees his arm flying right toward her head, thinking fast Naomi quickly ducks with a small squeal of fright, but Rachel who was behind her didn't have time to duck and was hit right in the face before falling to the ground in pain.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Finn and Naomi say at the same time to the girl who was sitting on the floor touching her nose.

"Are you okay?" Finn asks as he kneels down next to Rachel.

"I'm bleeding!" Rachel says in shock.

"Lets get you to a doctor." Mr. Shue tells the girl as he thinks that her nose could probably be broken.

"If I didn't duck Rachel wouldn't be in pain." Naomi tells Sam quietly as Rachel is directed out of the room.

"I'm glad you ducked because you aren't in pain now." He tells here rubbing up and down on her arms to try and comfort the guilty girl.

"Oh, my god, you're getting a nose job." Quinn says in shock as Rachel is up in the front of the classroom.

"I'm considering having a minor procedure to repair my deviated septum." Rachel defends not seeing what the problem is.

"So, a nose job." Santana simplifies.

"Look, I'm-I'm happy with the way I look, okay?" Rachel defends trying to hide the fact that she wants this to make her prettier. "And I've embraced my nose. But lets say I wanted a slightly more demure nose, like Quinn or-or Naomi's for example." Rachel points out making Naomi start to touch her nose nervously. "I-I would never change my appearance for vanity, but, I mean the doctor said that it could possibly improve my talent, which would help us all for Nationals." Rachel shrugs trying to defend herself and her reasons for wanting a nose job. 

"Possibly? What about the risks?" Mr. Shue asks her skeptically. "Your voice is amazing as is Rachel." 

"Hold up." Santana scoffs out annoyed. "could we all just get real here for a second?" She asks as all of the attention is not shifted to her. "I hear that Rachels got a bit of a schnoz. I mean, I wouldn't know, because like medusa, I try to avoid eye contact with her. But can we all just stop lying about how there aren't things that we wouldn't change about ourselves? I mean, I'm sure that sam has been at the doctors office and rifled through pamphlets on mouth reduction." Santana points out and Sam tries to hide his lips.

"I love you lips baby." Naomi tells him comfortingly as she holds his hand.

"I'll bet Artie's thought about getting his legs removed since he's not really using them anyways. I'm almost certain that Naomi is sick of being such a pushover." Santana tells them all.

"I'm not a push over." Naomi tells the girl sternly. 

"What do you want have for lunch?" Santana shoots back.

"Chinese food." Naomi says with certainty.

"Ugh, I'm sick of Chinese food we're not getting that, lets get Italian." Santana groans out with a smirk as she knows she's about to prove her point further.
