Chapter 9
3676 Words
I'm sitting down on the sofa in living room and watching TV while dad is busy with reading his book and sit down on the other side of the sofa.
"Dad, can I be honest with you?" I break a leg.
"About what?" Dad answer without looking at me.
"Your girlfriend, Shelby." I said nervously.
Dad close his book and place it on the table then turn his face at me. "What's wrong now?" Dad asks.
"I-I just dont like her." I said to him. "I want you to be happy because seeing you happy is also one of my happiness but I just cant accept her. Not only because I hate her daughter, well my problem with Rachel already done but it's just I cant accept her."
"Why you dont like her?" Dad asks me.
"I dont know. It's just two of us already enough for me but if you are happy with her, I'll be happy too." I half smiled at dad.
"You know what? Your character is really like your mom. You always put someone first than yourself but when you both want something, you will do anything to get that." Dad chuckles.
"Do you still love her? I mean, do you still love mom?" I ask.
Dad sighs. "She is my first love. We met in high school then our relationship is like on off until we graduate and enter same university, after we graduate from our college, we married and one year later, you born. She is the most amazing woman that I've ever met. She is smart, talented, and lovely. You ask me I still love her or not? I do. Still. Always. And I miss her."
"Why dont you try to find her?" I ask.
"I dont want to. If she really love us, she will back, honey and I'm sure she will." Dad smiles at me.
"But why you dating Shelby?"
"Because I think you miss a creature of mom in your life and I guess that Shelby likes you besides she can cook like Finn's mother and cleaning the house." Dad says.
"Dad, you want to find a girlfriend or a servant?" I roll my eyes.
"Haha I guess I need to find a servant now." Dad chuckle.
"Dad, you never tell me why she left us."
"Honey, I dont even know why but it must be something really important." Dad sighs.
"I'm sorry if I asked about this." I half smiled.
"It's okay, you grow up now." Dad smiles at me.
"Well, there will be Cheerleading Squad National Championship this weekend and I hope you'll come. It'll be held in McKinley Gymnasium." I said to dad.
"You will be on top of the pyramid right?" Dad raise his eyebrows.
"Dad, I'm the captain of cheerios and of course I will. Beside this would be my second nationals but first in sophomore year." I said to dad.
"Well, I'll come." Dad smiles at me.
"Great." I smile back at him and kiss his cheek then walk upstairs.
Yes this is the first semester of sophomore year and I will make it the best because the first semester will end up only in two months and after that there will be second semester and senior year. I'm gonna rule McKinley.

"Madison, bring all the files to my office." Coach Sylvester says to me and pointed at a stack of paper that Jacob Ben Israel hold.
"Okay, coach." I sigh and take all those paper from Jacob Ben Israel's hand and hold it in my hand while follow coach Sylvester from behind.
Being the captain of cheerios which mean that being a slave by coach Sylvester but she can give me anything I want for the cheerios because at the end she needs me.
"Place it over there and have a seat." Coach Sylvester says to me.
I place those papers on a table in the corner and then sit down in front of her table. "Is there anything you need coach?"
"I heard that you asked the marching band to join nationals with the cheerios." Coach Sylvester says to me.
"Winning is everything for me. One way to win this year nationals is bring many people for the nationals. Because after this we will go to North Korea and our cheerios will be on the cover of Splits magazine and who doesnt know about McKinley Cheerleading Squad?" I said confidently.
"You know what? Since the first time I saw you, it's like I saw young Sue Sylvester with different hair colour and that's why I choose you as my head cheerios because you are the next Sue Sylvester. You know Terri Del Monico? William Schuester's wife? She was the captain of cheerios for her entire her high school year and if you can win this, you are permanenly the captain of cheerios for your high school year." Coach Sylvester smirks at me.
"Dont worry, coach. You can trust me. I'm gonna do a new number that cheerio never do before and I will impress you this week and our faces will be on the cover of Spilts magazine. You know that I never lie to you." I smirk back at her.
"Your smirk make me wanna die. You can leave now." Coach Sylvester says to me.
"Okay, coach." I said to her and walk out from her office.
I keep walking in the hallways alone until I see Karofsky bring a glass of slushie. He passed the glee club members and they look shocked. I keep follow his way and he passed me until he stop in front of Puck's locker and slushies him when Rachel and him are holding hand each other.
"Ewww." Some cheerios walks passed them and laughs.
I just chuckle a bit and turn my way to the McKinley gymnasium to have cheerio practice before having nationals.
Puck's POV
"Noah, I'm sorry it must be because of we're dating." Rachel says as she cleaned my hair.
"Why?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Because you're a popular and I'm a loser." Rachel says sadly.
"We are loser. Finn told me that." I simply said.
"You dont mad at me?" Rachel asks.
"You order Karofsky to slushied me?" I raise my eyebrows.
"No, I didnt." Rachel shake her head.
"Well, I dont mad at you."
"Noah, I think that we are not gonna make it through. I mean, you're so popular and I'm just a loser. They slushied you because you dated me and I think you fall for someone else. I'm sorry." Rachel says to me and walks off.
I just let out a sigh and went out from the toilet and keep cool. Yes, I fall for someone else and that person doesnt even realize that I fall for her.
I keep walking in the hallways until I pass the gymnasium and heard a beautiful sexy voice yelled.
I enter the gymnasium and there you go. Cheerios is having practice with a lead from Madison and there are some student here to see their rehearse.
I sit down on the back row of the bleachers and looking at her. How beautiful she is and her butt is sexy. I like that.
"Girls, from the take five!" Madison yells to her cheerio team.
"I know you love her." Rachel suddenly sit down next to me.
"Santana? We are like s*x toy for each other." I simply said.
"No, but the captain of cheerio. You came here because you want to see her, right? Noah, she is belong to Finn and they're mean to be together. She loves Finn and Finn loves her beside Finn is your bestfriend." Rachel says to me.
I didnt say anything and walk off from the gymnasium. Rachel was right and maybe I cant steal her from Finn but who knows next?
Madison's POV
"Girls, from the take five!" I yell.
I turn my face and Puck is sitting down on the back row of the bleachers until Rachel come to him. They need a quiet place to be together I think.
"Be careful those guys over there just want to see your butt clearly." Quinn whisper at me.
I follow her gaze until I saw Puck walk off from the bleachers with Rachel frowns at him and still sitting down alone there. Well, not my business.
"Okay everybody that was for today." I yell at them.
I sit down on the front row of the bleachers and take my water then drink it.
"You know what Puck ended up his sexting with me because he is dating Rachel." Santana frowns.
"Maybe Rachel has better s*x than you." Quinn simply says.
"No, my s*x is the best and I bet they havent done anything yet so Puck will back into my life because he miss my sex." Santana smirks at us.
"What about Matt?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Matt know about this and he seems doesnt really care with that." Santana simply said.
"Finn and I also havent done anything yet." I said to them.
"I'm not surprised with that because you both are still virgin." Santana laughs.
"Ugh stop talking about this. It's disgusting." Quinn roll her eyes.
"Mike told me about Madison and Finn rhyming." Brittany said innocently.
"Okay stop it." I roll my eyes and take my backpack then went out from the gymnasium.
"Where are you going to?" Santana yells.
"Field. Waiting for Finn." I yell back and went off.
I keep walking with holding my backpack until I see Finn on the field with some jocks and coach Tanaka. Finn sees me so he wave me a hi. I smile at him and walk to the bleachers and sit down there and waiting for him.
It's like my daily routine since we are dating, I usually waiting for him or he wait for me with my cheerios practice.
"Waiting for your boyfriend? Which one Finn is?" A woman's voice.
I turn my face and Shelby smiles at me and sit down next to me. Be cool, Madison. Be cool.
"The jocks with number five shirt." I said without looking at her.
"Wow such a tall and cute one." Shelby says.
"What are you doing here? Arent you supposed to be in Carmel High School?" I frown at her.
"To meet you. I'm done with directing show choir and I'll move to New York." Shelby says to me.
"Then you want to ask me that you want to take dad with you? No." I shake my head.
"No. I'm breaking up with your dad. He told me that he want to see his only one daughter is happy because her happiness is his happiness. Your dad and I not a high school teenager anymore and we dont think about ourselves anymore but we think about someone else we loved."
"I let him to do anything that can make him happy."
"Your dad and your mom arent officially divorce. If we are still dating it means that he cheated and I know that his daughter doesnt wanna think about that." Shelby says.
"I'm sorry about that day. I was being so rude to you. I was upset and you become the victim." I sigh.
"It's okay, sweety. I understand you are not ready to accept someone new into your house. I also know that you love your mother so much and you want her back and I believe that you can get her back." Shelby smiles at me.
"My dad always gave me everything I want and thats why I can be so selfish sometimes." I half-smiled at her.
"Rachel also same." Shelby says to me and stand up.
"Where are you going to?" I ask her.
"Meet Rachel." Shelby simply says.
"Would you like to come to sectionals and see our performance before you go to New York?" I aks her.
"Sure." Shelby smiles at me. "See you in sectionals. I want to see your glee club hold the trophy." She smiles at me and walk off.
I was wrong. She is nice one but still my heart cant accept her because all I want is my real mom not anybody else.
I take my book file from my backpack and see some music sheets that I took from dad's music collection last night. I have to tell this to Mr. Schue.
I take my backpack and decided to walk out from field until Finn stop me. "Where are you going to?" Finn asks me.
"I want to meet Mr. Schue." I said to him.
"My game already done. You wanna go home?" Finn asks me.
"I want to see Mr. Schue then we can go home. I'll wait in parking lot okay." I kiss his cheek and walk off.
I hold the music sheets that I want to show Mr. Schue. I need to tell this to him or I will regret it. I walk in the hallways until I see Mr. Schue is in his office.
"Mr. Schue. Can I talk to you for a while?" I open the door slowly.
"Come in, Madison." Mr. Schue says to me. I walk enter his office. "Have a seat." Mr. Schue says.
I sit down in front of his table and show him my music sheets I brough. "I prepare this setlist for sectionals."
"Wow this is great. You will get the solo and the duet." Mr. Schue says to me.
"I dont want the solo. Can you give the solo to Rachel? She deserve it. She is so much better singer than me. I won the ballad solo because I was crying and the ballad duet because Finn and I getting back together and according to the book I read it wasnt fair. Rachel has stronger power than me, Mr. Schue beside look at the setlist I gave you. There is a song from Funny Girl which that its really her." I said to Mr. Schue.
"You want her to take your solo part?" Mr. Schue asks.
"Yes, Mr. Schue." I nod.
"But why?"
"She is the star. She is our star. With her we will get a chance to win this. Win this sectionals so they wont get any slushied anymore. They deserve to win and Rachel is the only one star we have." I said to Mr. Schue.
"I though winning is everything for you, Madison because you seems like little Sue Sylvester."
"Yeah winning is everything for me but winning in the right way. I dont want to cheat or anything because my dad never teach me about that. I just want to win sectionals and nationals for cheerios. That's it."
"Okay I'll tell this to the others in glee club tomorrow." Mr. Schue smiles at me.
"Thank you, Mr. Schue." I smile back at him. "I think that everything is done. See you tomorrow." I went out from his office.
I let out a sigh and smiles happily. I did the right thing now and hope that it wont make dad dissapointed with me.
"Babe, done with Mr. Schue?" Finn comes to me.
"Yes." I smile happily at him.
"Okay tell me you look so happy." Finn put his hand around my shoulder.
I put my hand around his waist and smile at him. "I give my solo part to Rachel because she deserve it. And the only one way to win the sectionals let our star come out. She is the star and she is so much better than me."
"I though you hate her because of...you know." Finn says to me.
"There is something that really opened my eyes today." I said to him.
"I like your determination. You can be selfish but there are so much time when you put yourself on last number and you put someone else first. So proud of you." Finn kissed my forehead.
"You dont mad at me right?" I ask him.
"Nope, why should I? You did the right thing, Maddy. You deserve this." Finn smiles at me.
I just smile back at him and Finn is right. I did the right things today and I'm proud with this.

"Yeah we are cool." Brittany says.
"The position I told you was a joke. I wont take your position if we lost except Sue ask me." Santana laughs.
"We will win this." I show my hand to them.
