one - the purple piano project

macy felt the hands of damien hold her waist as jacob walked up to the two.

"macy summers. not too long ago, you were having a little fling with bad boy noah puckermann and illustrious sam evans. now you're dating damien, whose last name nobody cares about."

"it's banks." damien said.

"anyway, now that you have a new man in your life, how are you going to face glee club without your bieber?"

macy blushed from embarrassment. "i- interview over, israel." she said, walking off.

"why are all our trophies in the middle of the room?" tina asked.

"i was sure that our nationals trophy would grow during the summer." brittany said, confused.

mr schue looked at everyone, "i want this image burned into your mind. this is what the difference between first and twelfth place looks like."

macy looked around, quinn was nowhere to be seen.

"it's also what it feels like." "are you planning on bumming us out all year?" puck asked, confused on the negative vibe.

"no, i'm planning on pushing you harder than you've ever been pushed before. we made it to nationals last year! this year, i'm not gonna let anything or anyone stop us from winning it all."

as mr schue went on, macy zoned out. it wasn't until she saw three purple pianos rolling in, that macy lit up. she couldn't help but run over to the light purple one.

"see, macy looks excited!" mr schue smiled, "i'm going to place these throughout the school and no matter what you're doing, or who you're with. i want you to sing a song. now use this assignment to attract kids who are just like you."

macy looked up, mr schue continued, "kids who can't keep the music inside." mr schue spoke more and macy couldn't help but watch damien. something about the way sam was mentioned earlier, it looked like damien was jealous and a little angry.

macy bumped into someone with pink hair and turned around, "quinn." she said.

the flamingo coloured hair whipped sharply as quinn smirked, "the offer still stands, macy. are you a skank?"

macy walked up to quinn and shook her head.

quinn laughed, "you know, we've never gotten on the same page. after i hurt you, you still recovered and came out on top. i admire that about you."

macy looked down before turning away, simply ignoring quinn.

she knew quinn was going to say something about sam and macy was trying hard to forget about the one that got away.

macy walked into the bathroom and reapplied some makeup that had worn off. the door janked open and macy watched sue walk up to her, a cheerios uniform in a box with her name on it.

"hi coach." "macy, you're now on the cheerios." she made eye contact with sue through the mirror, "i suggest you change into this immediately."

macy turned and was given the uniform, "why?"

"miss fabray decided that she would waste away her senior year, young jennifer aniston. now put it on and tie your hair up."

before macy could protest, sue walked away. she changed into the uniform and looked at herself in the mirror.

this uniform gave her some kind of newfound confidence. she tied up her hair and saw a curling iron that definitely was not there before. she curled her hair and walked out of the bathroom, head held high.
