Junior Year

Quinn and Sam went to Olivia's locker.

"Ready for glee club?" Quinn smiled.

Olivia nodded slowly. "I think so."

"It'll be fun." Quinn promised. "Just stick with me and Sam."

"Okay." Olivia said.

Quinn and Sam led Olivia to the choir room, where the others were waiting to start rehearsal.

"Mr. Schue's gonna introduce you to everyone." Quinn warned Olivia. "Sam and I are gonna go sit down."

Quinn led Sam to their seats and sat down.

"Today, we're welcoming a new member." Mr. Schue smiled. "Olivia, welcome to the New Directions. Why don't you introduce yourself?"

"I'm Olivia Martin." Olivia smiled. "My dad and I just moved here from Maine because he's dating Quinn's mom, so yeah."

"We're glad to have you. Welcome to the New Directions." Mr. Schue said. "You can take a seat."

"Thank you." Olivia replied as she sat down beside Quinn.

Puck walked in.

"And let's welcome Noah Puckerman back." Mr. Schue told everyone as he smiled at Puck. "Thank you Finn and Quinn for convincing Puck to come back."

Quinn rolled her eyes and looked at Finn.

Finn was grinning and clapping happily for his best friend.

"Puck, do your best to stay out of trouble, okay?" Mr. Schue requested, patting Puck on the back.

Puck smirked and high-fived Finn before taking a seat.

"Now that we have Puck and Olivia, we're back at twelve." Mr. Schue noted.

"Which is great, but Regionals isn't until March." Mike replied.

"We won Sectionals right before you moved here." Sam whispered to Olivia.

Olivia nodded.

"We have four months to prepare, which means there are no excuses if we don't come in first place." Rachel added.

"I still think we should get Kurt to come back." Mercedes said. "Finn."

"Me and Puck are working on it." Finn promised.

Everyone introduced themselves to Olivia and helped her feel more comfortable in the group.

Rachel started throwing out song suggestions for the duet she wanted to sing with Finn at Regionals, and the others tuned her out.

When Mr. Schue dismissed everyone, Quinn gathered her things and left the choir room.

"Quinn, I wanna talk to you." Puck called as he followed her.

"I need to get home." Quinn answered as Sam and Olivia joined her in the hall. "We can talk another time."

Puck nodded slowly as he glanced at Sam. "Give Beth a hug and a kiss for me."

Quinn clenched her jaw and nodded before she walked away.
