The Sophomore (Glee Fanfiction)

Chapter 42

"Good morning beautiful!" Sam shocked me.

"Good morning, you shocked me. Luckily I aint got heart attack." I laughed.

"Haha sorry but you just look so beautiful today." Sam smirks.

"Can you tell me another things? Like every morning you said the same thing." I rolled my eyes.

"So you dont like it?" Sam asked.

"No." I simply said but suddenly I laughed. "Just kidding. I like it." I smiled.

"Dont play along with Tony Starks." Sam chuckled.

"As I know that Tony Starks is more handsome than you." I said while walked away.

"I'm pretty but I aint dumb." Sam said as he follows me.

"Who says that you are dumb, Sammy?" I rolled my eyes.

"No one actually." Sam said.

"You're cute!" I smirks.

"Ok-ay I dont get it why you suddenly said I'm cute." Sam frowned.

"Well me too." I gave him faceplam.

"Okay forget about it. So what class that my girl will have today?" Sam asked.

"English Literature, History, P.E and Glee club. How about Tony Starks?" I smirks.

"Math, Biology, Spanish and Glee club. Wow we have same class on the last." Sam chuckled.

"Of course we are. So, see you at lunch babe." I hug him before I go to the class.

"See you princess." He hug me back and waves me a good bye.

I walked into my classroom and take a seat beside Mike.

"Hey, Em." Mike greets as I took a seat beside him.

"Hello Asian!" I chuckled.

"Your favorite class will start your day today." Mike chuckled.

"This is not my favorite class. My favorite class is lunch haha. Well I just love literature." I said.

"Well, I heard that Channing Tatum is living in L.A." Mike whispered.

"He is. My mom usually saw him walking around in L.A or came out from LAX Airport. Sometimes I just wanna live there so I can see Hollywood stars everyday." I said.

"Sadly we live in the small town called Lima. People might know Ohio but many of them didnt know about Lima, Ohio. Mostly they only know Lima, Peru." Mike said.

"Yeah I agree with you. When I had a test, the one who sat beside me is came from Manchester, England and do you want to know what he asked?" I said.

"What?" Mike look curios.

"Did you have any boyfriend?" I laughed.

"He really asked that? OMG." Mike laughed.

"Yeah, his name is Roberts. I gasped at his question. Is it polite to ask someone's status at the first time they meet in British's culture?" I raised my eyebrows.

"It is. But in US or Asians it's not. I mean, you have to get to know each other before asking about someone's status right?" Mike said.

"Yep. You're right." I said.

The bells rings

My English Literature teacher is finally come. He is always on time to come to the class. For your information he graduated from University of Melbourne, AUS by a scholarships. He is Asian but how he teached is different so it make easier to understand.

After having my favorite class. (Okay, I admit that English Literature is my favorite class) I walked into my other class. History with Mr. Schue and no one of the glee club member in the same class with me today so I sit alone in the front row until Mr. Schue walks in.

"Emily, follow me. And the others please do some task on your book page 35. Thank you." Mr. Schue said.

I stands up from my seat and follow him. "Where did you want me to go?" I asked.

"Principal Figgins office." Mr. Schue simply answer.

We arrived at principal Figgins's office and I saw Ms. Pilaburry already there.

"Take a seat, Emily." Principal Figgins said so I took a seat in front of his table.

"Do you have a heart attack before?" Principal Figgins asked.

I shake my head. "No. Why?" I asked.

"I hope you dont because we'd like to say something really important." Principal Figgins grinned.

"What is that?" I frowned.

"Its hard to say but......congratulations Emily, you passed the test and you got into UC Berkeley as the top ten of best score." Principal Figgins smile.

I still keep quiet and frowned then turned my face to Ms. Pilsburry and Mr. Schue.

"You made it; Emily! You dream comes true!" Ms. Pilsburry said excitedly.

"Did I just passed the test?" I asked.

"Yes sweety. You are! You got into UC Berkeley and that scholarship." Ms. Pilsburry almost yelled.

"Am I dreaming?" I keep asking.

"No. You dont. Read this letter." Principal Figgins gave me a letter.

I read it slowly yes there is my name Emily Hudson is success and got into UC Berkeley this year.

"Wow. It's feels like I'm dreaming. I cant believe this." My eyes glazing.

"Congratulations, Emily. Techically, you'll be the best graduate of this year." Principal Figgins congrats me.

"Thank you so much. I'll never get this without your help. All your help, Ms. Pilsburry, Mr. Schue and also you, Principal Figgins." I smiled.

"But there is one more thing, you will leave this school earlier than the others. On the first day of April you have to move to UC Berkeley and start your day there." Principal Figgins said.

"But what about the sectionals?" I turned my face to Mr. Schue.

"I will talk about this with the rest of glee club." Mr. Schue said.

"You can come back to this school when the official graduate will be held. But by the next month, I announce that you are graduate." Principal Figgins said.

"What is the risk if I refuse this scholarship?" I asked.

"Our school will be on the blacklist of the UC Berkeley college council until 5 years. So think about the sophomore and freshman here who want to follow your path." Principal Figgins.

"Dont refuse it, Emily. You can still see us perform. Until the official graduate, you can visit this school anytime you want. You still a student here." Mr. Schue said.

"Yep, Will is right kid. This is a big chance and you got it. I'm so proud of you." Principal Figgins said. "Save this letter with you as a proof that you got there." Principal Figgins gave me a letter.

"Can I go back to the class now?" I asked.

"Sure. You and Will can come back for study and Emma can come back to work." Principal Figgins said.

"Thank you, principal Figgins." I walked off with Mr. Schue.

"So how was your feeling?" Mr. Schue asked while we walked back to the class.

"Incredible! I dont know how to say it. I just cant believe this. I'm still feel like I'm dreaming." I chuckle.

"Well, you really made it, Emily!" Mr. Schue chuckle and we entered the class and the study begin.

Glee Club

"Guys, our theme for this week is *drum rolls*" Mr. Schue walks into the white board.

"Sweaters." Brittany said.

'Your Soundtrack'

"So, show us what is your life soundtrack that really shows you who you are and make you feel like 'this is my song'. Get it?" Mr. Schue asked.

Everyone nodded including me.

"Well, who wanna start first?" Mr. Schue asked. Nobody raise their hands or speaks up. "Emily?" Mr. Schue asked me.

Okay, Emily its time to tell them the truth dont hide it anymore. I nodded and walked to the front and tell Brad about the song I wanna sing.

"Two of our friends ever sing this song actually. But today I wanna sing this song again because this song is really me and there is inside this song that I wanna to tell you guys. So hope you like it." I half smiled.

Brad start playing the piano.

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules

Of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes... and leap!

It's time to try

Defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I am defying gravity

And you wont bring me down!

I'm through accepting limits

'cause someone says they're so

Some things I cannot change

But till I try, I'll never know!

Too long I've been afraid of

Losing love I guess I've lost

Well, if that's love

It comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

And you wont bring me down!

I'd sooner buy

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

And you won't bring me down!

bring me down!

ohh ohhh ohhhh!

I finished my song with full of claps and cheering.

"Even you sang this song better than Berry and Hummel." Santana said. I just smiled at her.

"That was amazing, Emily. I never know that Defying Gravity is your soundtrack." Kurt said.

"Yeah, that was incredible, Em." Puck said.

"Okay tell them, Emily dont hide the truth anymore." Mr. Schue walks into the place where I'm standing.

"Well.... I got into UC Berkeley and the scholarships!" I said excitedly.

"Wow, Emily really? We are so proud of you." Mercedes smiled. Everyone is smiling through at me right now.

"Even she got into the best top ten." Mr. Schue smiled.

"You really made it." Finn come to the front and hugged me.

"But one more thing." I said.

"What?" Quinn asked.

"I'll have to leave at the end of this month. I wont be able to join the sectionals or prom. I'll be back when the official graduate will be held." I said as I cant hide my tears fall down.

"It's means that you'll leave us earlier?" Mercedes asked.

"Yeah. I only have 2 weeks here. After that I'll move to CA." I almost cry out loud right now. I look into Sam's eyes, his eyes are glazing. I know no one of us want this but I have to.

"I'm gonna miss you." Mercedes hug me. I hug her back and wipe my tears.

"We dont have to say good bye yet. I'm still here guys. Anyway, I wanna thank you guys so much." I smiled.

"Yeah only two weeks and time goes on so fast." Joe said.

"I know, so make it the best two weeks ever for Emily." Finn said.

"I will be excited for that!" I smiled.

Everyone comes to me then hugged me except Sam. He just look straight at me. Without saying anything. I looked at him back but he turned his face away and walked out, left us.

I runned out from the choir room and follow Sam. I catched his hand to make him stop.

"Dont go away." I looked slighty at his eyes.

Sam suddenly hug me tight. "I'm the one who supposed to say that." He said.

"Deep down, I dont want to leave you but I have to. Life must go on, Sam." I hugged him back.

"I promise, I'll follow you there." Sam said onto my eyes as he pulled me away.

"I'll be waiting for ya." I smirks. "Lets go back to the choir room." I grabbed his hand and we walked into the choir room and continue the glee club.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Em, you really have to go that fast?" Finn asked as we sat down on the floor of his room, doing nothing.

"Finn, we have our own dream and we have to get it." I said and layin my head in his shoulder.

"But I'll miss you so bad." Finn said.

"I'll miss you too. We lived together for 18th years but we have to separated now." I said. "But I promise you. I'll come back home every once in a week. So from Monday till Friday you have to take care of yourself." I added.

"I'll be starving for 5 days then." Finn sighs.

"You'll be skinny afterwards." I laughed. "Anyway, you can ask Puck to live here with you and I guess mom will agree. University of Lima is not far away from here. You dont have to stay in the dorm then, but remember dont bring any girls to making love here." I added.

"I'm not like that. Did you already tell mom about this?" Finn asked.

"Whoops I'm forget. Why dont we go to L.A and visit her? Kind of surprise her?" I asked and pulled my head from his shoulder.

"Sure. But I dont have enough money to buy plane tickets." Finn sighs.

"Dont worry. I'm still have money from the UC Berkeley, they provide me accomodation and gave me money. How much money did you have?" I asked.

"Only 30 dollars." Finn said.

"Okay, I'm still have 75 dollars from that pocket money and I have 25 dollars from my cash box. It's enough to buy 4 plane tickets to LAX." I said.

"I never knew that you are rich person." Finn chuckled.

"I'm good at saving my money and I didnt use my credit card too much." I rolled my eyes.

"So when we will go?" Finn asked.

"Tomorrow? After school?" I asked back.

"Friday? No glee club and we can go home earlier than the usual." Finn said.

"Well, book the tickets now!" I said.

"Why right now?" Finn sighs.

"What if we dont get any tickets for tomorrow?" I rolled my eyes and take Finn's laptop. "What time we will go?" I asked.

"School will be over at 1pm on Friday, we have to back to home first to take our suitcase right? So, flight at 4pm. We can spend the Friday night in L.A just like hollywood stars." Finn grinned.

"Thats weird when my brother become smart." I laughed. "Well, two tickets from Lima to Los Angeles, tomorrow at 4pm." I said as I input the catagory.

"Economy or business class?" Finn asked.

"We can buy the business class but then, we will be starving until the rest of this month because we dont have any money." I sigh.

"Well, economy class. Is it available?" Finn asked.

"Yep. Pay by credit card named Emily Hudson." I typed my credit card number. "Got it! We are ready to flight tomorrow!" I yelled.

"Yeaaaah, I'll be a hollywood stars for two days!" Finn cheers.

"Not only you, but also me. We can be hollywood stars for two days! Yippie!" Me and Finn hi-five.

"I think we better packing now so tomorrow we wont be so hurry." Finn said.

"I dont know but today I feel that you are so smart." I laughed. Finn raised his eyebrows then suddenly laughed.
