on the weekend i hear my doorbell go and my mom opens the door as i walk down
"hello miss andy's mom, im brittney. Andy's friend." she says talking to my mom
"oh, right Andy's friend." she say turning to me looking confused but i brush it off.
i just smile and grab her and run to my room
"you could have texted me Britt." i say closing my bedroom door
"i couldn't, lord tubington ate my phone." she said smiling
i nod, trying not to laugh and sit down getting out some homework
"is this what you and Santana do?" she says
"umm, yeah i guess." i say shrugging getting out some things for her to write on.
"oh i thought you guys were having sex." she says making me drop all my stuff. she comes to help me
"I'm not sure what you are talking about." i say to her rubbing the back of my neck.
"i just mean like when you guys hang out the next day i normally notice you have hikeys, those are hard to do yourself. i know I've tried. and you both glow like the sun after you hang out." she says sweetly getting out some crayons
i sigh "you know Britt you might just be smarter than me." i say kindly getting out the English work
"yeah i know, now can you help me with how to spell my name?"
~♫♫♫~
we're in glee and all round the piano with Kurt holding old thunderclaps i helped him get from the library.
"where Rachel?" he asks noticing her absence
"she's not here yet." Finn says
"no shit sherlock." i mummer and Kurt continues
"perfect. glee club stands on a delicate precipice. we have all felt the cold humiliation of a slushie in the face. but as of right now, our relative anonymity as a club shields us from more severe persecution--swerlies. patriotic wedegies."
"what's a patriotic wedegie?" Mercedes asks
"its when they hoist you up the flag pole by your undies." Finn says calmly
"strangely" Artie adds "it did make me feel more American."
"based on my investigation, I'm of the opinion that the yearbook photo would only fuel the flames of anti-glee-club terror. I've done a little research, with the help of our resident book nerd Andy." Kurt says getting out the stacked books. "Peter Geller. glee club tenor, 1998. eh can be seen here with both eyes scraped out and a Hitler moustache drawn on and rice party hat, shortly after the yearbook came out, Mr Gellar had a nervous breakdown. he is now the homeless man who sleeps in front of the public library."
"patches?" quinn says
"yeah, he is a nice guy." i say quietly
"he barks at my mom."
"ok maybe nice isn't the word..."
Kurt continues to list others in glee with their pictures drawn on and finishes saying "i suggest we not fight Figgins' ruling."
"i second that." i say closing the books as Mr shue comes in
"oh hey guys, looking at old thunderclaps?"
"its really unsettling." Artie says to him
"and totally unfair." Mr shue adds not getting that we don't want a photo. "hey can i borrow these?" he says picking one up
"you know what? this years thunderclap is going to have glee club photo with everyone of your smiling faces, you have my word on it."
"yeah no, sorry i haven't ever had my phot taken for school, like ever, even before high school. thats not going to change now." i say firmly
"oh yes it will Andy, don't you worry." he says as he leaves
~♫♫♫~
"you've never had your photo taken?" Brittney says to me when she sees me in the library
"nope." i say popping the 'p' flicking the next page of my book, to the lighthouse by Virginia wolf
"why not, you are like hot." she says sitting next to me
"because i don't want to, drop it Britt, yeah." i say closing my book and leaving but i bump into Santana
"hey you seen Britt?"
"yeah she is down there." i say and she can tell something is wrong so pulls me aside. she moves my chin down so we are at eyeline with each other
"what's wrong, is this about the photos?" she asks nicely but i blow up slightly.
"God can everyone stop talking about those damn photos!" i say loudly getting a 'shh' from the librarian before leaving.
~♫♫♫~
I'm sitting with Kurt showing him scales on the piano and Rachel walks over to us both
"Andy, Kurt, i have a fantastic idea for a club. that would officially make me the most involved student in the whole school" she begins to say "i want us to start a 'GayLesbAll'."
Kurt and i look at her with the same facial expression. a mix between confusion and disgust
"i'm sorry?" he says
"the Gay-Lesbian Alliance." she say quickly
"what What?" i say
"Gay-Lesb-All" she says slowly
Kurt and i look at each other and slowly move away
"hey guys." Mr shue says "grate news, glee gets a photo in the thunderclap."
making all of us murmur unenthusiastically
"yep, its gonna show everyone in this school that glee club is on its way up. when we win regionals, those claps are going to me collectors items. i mean all of your classmates are going to be begging for your autograph."
"doubt it." i cough out but he continues
"but i had to compromise to do it. um, we only get a quarter page in back, witch means we have to pick two team captains, to appear in the photo. so tomorrow were going to put it to a vote, exciting right." he say clapping his hands together
~♫♫♫~
the bell goes and i hobble the glee, seeing everyone is there already i just sit quietly till Mercedes says
"well were all here i guess we should just vote."
Rachel jumps up and begins "with your permission i have prepared a few words-"
"i nominate Rachel." Mercedes says
"second." Kurt says
"third." i say
"alright lets vote up in this piece," puck says oddly enough " i gotta go hit the gym for the football picture."
we all write on a piece of paper and i help Britt out with her spelling of Rachel, then we give them in
"looks like everybody voted for Rachel." Mr shue says "including Rachel. but we need two captains guys."
"why two, were fine with having Rachel represent us in the thunderclap by herself." quinn says slightly too fast.
"we'd actually prefer it." Kurt adds
then the bell goes
~♫♫♫~
"hey Andy." i hear Rachel say
"what do you want goblin." i say to her as i close my locker
"you know you have leader ship qualities-"
"no." i say calmly
"you didn't even-"
"no Rachel." i get a bit louder as i slowly lose my cool.
"what, why-"
"I said NO, Rachel. I'm not going to take a stupid photo for a stupid club. Get of my BACK!" i yell at her
she looks taken back as i slam my locker closed walking away.
i didn't notice two cheerleaders watching the scene unfold between Rachel and i.
~♫♫♫~
i sit in glee reading as Rachel storm in
"id like to call this meeting to order." she says shutting the door until Finn walks in "oh , hello Finn. how nice of you to show." she says stomping back to us
they talk for a second till Rachel starts again "okay look, i realise now that all of you think that glee club is just a joke. Okay, and you're convinced that we cant win, and you're content to just sit idle by until Figgins cancels the club." she folds her arms "well i about to present to you a rare opportunity. the opportunity to become stars." she says
most people look happy but not me, Quinn speaks up "how?" she asks Rachel
"we've all been cast in a local commercial." she says making people gasp
"are you serious?" Finn asks
"yes Finn, and while all of you have been so concerned with your appetence in this school, I've landed glee club its first big brake. simply put making us all celebrities."
at this i begin to pack up my things quietly
"and no one messes with celebrities or defaces their pictures." Rachel says
"what's the commercial?" Tina asks as i zip up my bag
"hold on to your hats and get ready to sell . . . some mattresses'!" she says smiling wildly
"yeah, no I'm out. sorry thats not for me, i don't want to be a celebrity and i don't want to be in a dumb commercial." i say getting up
"God what has been up your butt this week Andy, you normally negative but not this much?" Rachel says folding her arms
i grab my bag and crutches and look ay her angrily "JESUS RACHEL, NOT EVERYONE WANTS THIER NAME IN LIGHTS, GET OVER IT!"
i walk out leaving them all in silence.
~♫♫♫~
"ok what the hell is with you, you didn't come to the commercial thing, it was kind of fun-"
"i don't care Santana." i say sitting in our spot at the lima viewpoint, where i have been all day.
"well for someone who doesn't care, you sure have been very vocal this week, if this is like sue telling u to ruin moral then-"
"its not that." i say softly
she grabs my hand "what is it?"
"i- its stupid." i say shaking my head
"no, no its not just tell me." she moves her hands to cup my face and sees my tears "oh Rea.." she says sympathetically
"the last time i had my photo taken was for a gymnastic thing and then a week later my dad died. . .he loved being the centre of attention, like berry. he was always taking photos and videos of me and him. he wanted to be this huge rock star and he died, i-i don't want that. i don't want to be seen, im sacred to be."
my body gets wrapped in Santana's warmth "oh baby. you aren't your dad mi amor." (my love)
i sniffle a bit "i-i know but i might become him."
"he was your hero, wasn't he?" she asks and i nod so she continues "so be the best parts of him, not the worst."
i look at her and she wipes away my tears "I'm glad we are each others person." i say softly, we both know what i wanted to say but she just smiles and kisses me softly.
"im glad too, now let me drive you home."
i nod and we head to mine.
~♫♫♫~
mr shue comes in and tell us the bad news
"but we don't want to go to sectionals without you." Artie says
"its without me or not at all." Mr shue says in a tired voice "look i was the one who slept on the mattress with means i accepted them, not you. witch means I'm disqualified from competition."
"nice loophole." i say
"he's taking the bullet for us." puck adds realising it a moment later than i did.
mr shue sighs " we have worked too hard for you guys not to get your shot."
"we cant do this without you Mr shue. hell we probably cant do it with you" Finn says
"thats not true." Mr shue butts in "you guys are good. your really good. you did jump for that commercial without me, right? look the best teachers don't give you the answers. they just point the way and let you make your own choices, your own mistakes. that way you get all the glory." he says walking round us " and you deserve it. if you cant win without me there then i haven't done my job." he says walking back to the front
"we're really sorry Mr shue." Rachel says for us.
"i know." he nods kindly "i want you guys to go get gussied up and take that glee club photo with pride. i want to see a smile on everyone's face, even you Andy." he says making us laugh.
we go to the bathroom but i pause and Mr shue comes to me
"i herd you aren't really into getting your photo taken." he says
"thats an understatement." i say lightly
"i think it would mean a lot to the club if you did, shows they are making a difference." he says patting my back lightly.
~♫♫♫~
i hear them all talk in the bathroom so i walk in
"so anyone got some clear mascara?" i say
"Andy!" i hear them all say happily as i walk in
"im sorry bout this week guys." i say as Santana gets out some lip-gloss for me
"its ok, we all have our moments." Rachel says
i nod and after a second we head out to take the photo.
