Today is inaguration day. I'm little bit nervous. Blaine and Kurt already booked Breadstix for us to celebrate this. "I met a guy yesterday. He is cute and nice. I was about to buy Billy Joel's album for my dad but then he paid that album and when I got home, I just realized that he also gave me Lady Antebellum's album." I chuckle at Kurt. "Wow. First met and he did that? Such a sweet one." Kurt chuckles. "Yeah I know that." I giggle. I turn my face at Finn and he just being quiet and make himself busy. "Who's that guy?" Blaine asks me. "He is from Dalton Academy. His name is Sebastian Smythe. He said that he came to our West Side Story because you invited him." I said to Blaine. "God no! You better stay away from him." Blaine shakes his head. "Why?" I frown. "He is a player." Kurt simply said. "But he doesnt seem like that." I frown. "Just dont come to me when he hurt you." Kurt says to me. "Come on, we'll be late." Kurt takes his suit and walk off from the choir room with Blaine. I just turn my face to my suit and trying to button my suit as I walk out from the choir room and turn my way to the McKinley gymnasium. "Madison..." "Yes?" I answer and keep focusing to my button. "Congratulations. They want the best for McKinley." I turn my face and half-smiled at Finn. "Thanks." "And about the things you saw last night...." "Can we talk about that later? Now I have to go." I said to him and walk off to follow Kurt. I'm sorry, Finn. I just dont want to Rachel think that I'm gonna steal you from her. I love you but I'm too weak. I just wanna be with myself. "Come on." Kurt takes my hand and walk lead me. I just turn my face around and looking at Finn and half-smile at him. He just half-smiled back at me and walk to the bleachers. Principal Figgins is still giving his speech to the others student. I just take a look at the bleachers behind the curtain until I see my dad is walking with bring a boquet of flowers and wearing his black suit. He didnt tell me that he already back from LA. "My dad is there!" I said happily to Kurt. "I called your dad to come and he said that his things already done so he came." Kurt smiles at me. "You're the best!" I smile back at Kurt. "Now welcome to the senior class president and vice president Mr. Kurt Hummel and Miss Madison Collins." Principal Figgins called us. We then walk out from backstage to the stage with a lot of applauding from the others student. I look around until I see my dad is smiling at me and clapping for me. I just want to make him proud of me. Kurt and I standing next to each other. Principal Figgins officiate us and wear us a pin on our suit with cheering and applauding follow us around. "Congratulations." Principal Figgins smiles at us then points to the standing microphone. Kurt let out a sigh and walk to the standing microphone and read the paper he hold. "First of all, I wanna to thank you all of you guys who already trust me to be the leader for the next one year. To my parents, and especially to my dad, congratulations for winning the congress, I'm so proud to be a son of a congressman." Kurt chuckles. "Well, like what I said I wont forget all my promises I made. I will make McKinley to be a better school with a better future. No more bullying and lets be united to built a better McKinley together. Thank you so much and I'm Kurt Hummel, I'm your senior class president!" Kurt says from the microphone. The audience give him applauding and he walk off from the microphone. I walk to the microphone and hold my paper about what's is our job plan for the next one year. "Uhm hi everyone. First of all I wanna thank you all for trusting me and Kurt to be the leader for the next one year. I wanna thank to my dad for support me to do anything I wanna to do, hi daddy, I miss you." I chuckle and points to my dad. "He is over there and today is his birthday so happy birthday, dad." I wave him a hi and smiles at him. Dad just smile back at me and give me a fly kiss as the other audience give us applause. "Okay thank you. This time I wanna tell you guys about what are we gonna do for the first three months. I already made the list and number one, we will banned doucheball and replace it with war in the swimming pool because it will be more safe and avoid bullying. Number two, we will built a McKinley School Council Treasure Club, a club to run our programs for the next one year. Last, we will make a college fair for the senior who want to go to college but still have no idea and it's time to figure something out about your future. That's it. We cant do this job without your participation so we expect from your participation too. I'm Madison Collins and I'm your senior class vice president! Thank you so much." I smile at them. The audience standing from their seat and give us applause and cheering for us. I turn my face at Kurt and we smile at each other. I believe that Kurt and I can make a better change for this school. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Giving up for our senior class president!" Blaine yelled and raise his glass to have toast. I just chuckle and raise my glass and to have the toast with others. Kurt and I celebrated our official winning by booked the breadstix for the whole school. "Congratulations, my sweetheart." Dad grins at me then hug me tight. "Thank you so much. Why you didnt tell me that you're home?" I ask dad. "Finn called me last night so I took morning flight this morning and when I got home and got to my bedroom, I saw a gift on my bed. Well, seems like my little girl isnt forget about my birthday. Thank you so much, honey." Dad smiles at me. "It's better than I wake you up then bring you breakfast and you have breakfast on your bed right?" I giggle. "You knew it." Dad chuckles. "Okay so since you are the birthday man for today, pay this restaurant." I smirk at dad. "Umm honey, I'm forget that I left something in L.A I think I have to go back there." Dad says to me. "Dad....." I roll my eyes. "Haha just kidding. Yes, I will pay that for you. You already can make me really proud of you." Dad rubs my hair. "Madison! Come here." Kurt called me to take picture. "Okay, I have to go now." I said to dad and walk to Kurt and the others who taking picture together. We chuckle at each other after we took some photos together until I realized that Finn is not around. I look around until I see him sit down on a seat alone and looking at his glass. I guess I better talk to him. I know that Finn didnt get into Rachel's plan and he really wanted to say something to me. I left the others and walk to Finn's table and standing near his seat. "Can I sit down here?" I ask him. "Dont need to ask actually." Finn simply said. "Okay." I mumbled and sit down next to him. "You said that there is something you want to tell me. What's that?" "You really want to talk to me?" Finn asks me. "Just talk, Finn. We always be honest to one another." "First I want to apologize because I hurt your feeling. Second, I got trapped again. I-I bet with Rachel and she trapped me. She cheated so she can get me back but the fact I have no feeling left for her. I-I dont mean to hurt you, I dont mean to choose my popularity over you. I'd rather to lose everything I have than losing you once more. And yesterday I didnt hug Rachel back. She begged me but I kept saying no. I love you and I dont wanna make a wrong mistake anymore." Finn holds my hand. I built a smile on my face and rub his cheek then pull my face closer to him and kiss him softly. "I'm sorry I didnt want to listen to you at first." "That was my fault. I know that. So we make up now?" "If you think so. Yes." I nodded. "And dont go out with Sebastian again." Finn simply said. "Well, he keep texting me right now and he said that he want to come for see sectionals." I said to Finn. "Just dont text another guy if it's not really necessary." Finn says to me. "I didnt text him right now." I frown at Finn. "I have something to tell you." Finn holds my hand. "What?" I raise my eyebrows. "Since Burt is officially a congressman so he let me handle the tires shop." Finn grins at me. "That's good. Finn is become the boss-man now." I smile at him. "And, there will be another test for football scholarship at Ohio State so I will try to get my chance." "I'm so proud of you!" I said happily. "You will get that. I believe that." "I love you." Finn smiles at me. "I love you too." I smile back at him. "Come on, lets eat." Finn stands up from his seat then takes my hand and we walk to the food buffet. I look around and I see my dad, Mr. Schue, and Finn's parents are sitting down on one table and talking to each other. I just hold Finn's hand and checking out the food. It such a great day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sectionals Today is sectionals day and the sectionals will be held in our auditorium. I'm so excited actually because I'm sure that we will win this. "Oops it's little bit itchy." I said to Finn and fix his bowtie. "You look beautiful tonight." Finn smirks at me. "I always am." I chuckle. "Alright, everyone get ready for the show." Mr. Schue says to us. "Hello, Will." Miss Corcoran and The Troubletones enters our choir room and grins at us. "Looking good, ladies!" Mr. Schue smiles at them. "We just came to say, may the best glee club win." Miss Corcoran says to us. "Yes, and just in case that glee club is us, I have convinced Miss Corcoran to consider a contingency plan." Santana says to us. "Yes, in the event of a New Directions loss, Troubletones has voted to allow any of you to join us at Regionals." Miss Corcoran grins at us. "You're welcome." Sugar says. "Excuse me? That's incredibly rude, Santana." Finn frowns. "We're being nice. It would be rude if I followed you around and every time you took a step, I played a note on a tuba." Santana glares at Finn. "Thank you for the offer, Miss Corcoran, but right now, we're gonna concentrate on winning this thing." Mr. Schue says to them. "And we will be winning, Shelby. We've got it in the bag. Puck here is going to come through for us. He's such a shining star, in every conceivable way. Don't you think?" Quinn glares at Shelby. "Good luck, everybody. See you on the ice." Miss Corcoran says and walk off with the Troubletones. "Alright everyone show circle!" Mr. Schue says to us. We then walk closer and make a circle. "Dont listen what they said. We are gonna win this thing. They dont have any masculine thing and we full with boys now. So lets do this." Mr. Schue says to us. "Besides that New Directions has it owns magic." Blaine says. "That's right. In three!" Mr. Schue says to us. 3 2 1 Aaaaaaamazinggggg We then went out from the choir room and walk to the auditorium. I just hope that New Directions will win this thing. "Hey, Madison. Good luck for the show." Sebastian smirks at me as I was about to enter the auditorium with Finn and the others. "Thanks, dude." Finn smirks at him and put his hand around my shoulder. "I was talking to her not you, Franketeen." Sebastian simply said. "Well, thank you so much, Sebastian." I smile at Sebastian and take Finn's hand and walk lead him. "I hate that Chipmunks." Finn mumbled. "Well, me too. Because first of all I though he was gay." Kurt says to us. "Finn..." I roll my eyes and sit down next to him. "And now, the judges for this year's Show Choir Sectional here at McKinley High. Department of Motor Vehicles Employee of the Month, Brandy Englebert! From the 11th District Court of Appeals, the Honorable Judge Dorothy Saunders! And Western Ohio's Birthday Clown of the Year three years running-- Tickles! And now, let's welcome our first performers. All the way from Defiance, Ohio, the Unitards!" The curtain lift up. The Unitards start performing. I just looking at them as they're singing Buenos Aires. Actually they're not really hard to beat but I'm curious about The Troubletones. "We got this, dude." Finn hi-five with Blaine. "We havent see the Troubletones." I roll my eyes. "Just calm down. We also got that." Finn holds my hand. The Unitards ended their performance. The curtain lift down then I see the Troubletones left their seats and walk to the backstage. We got it in the bag because we will perform last. "Ladies and gentlemen, from McKinley High, competing for the first time ever, the Troubletones!" The curtains lift up and The Troubletones are ready on the stage until the music begin and Santana start singing. They took the cheerios to perform with them and complete their team meanwhile we took the band to complete our team and perform with us. It was Finn's idea actually. "I think we got this." I grin. "I like that song." Sam says. "Oh dude, you should know that Mercedes's boyfriend got a full scholarship at Ohio State." Finn says to Sam. "I knew that." Sam simply said. "Why you told him that?" I frown at Finn. "To motivated him to get what should be his." Finn grins at me. "Ugh not make sense." I roll my eyes. "Come on, lets go to the backstage." Kurt says to us. We stand up from our seat then walk off from the audience seat and turn our way to the backstage. The Troubletones ended up their performance with full of clapping and cheering from the audience. The curtain lifts down and the Troubletones walk off from the stage. "Prepare for the song for the audition to the Troubletones, bitches." Santana smirks at us and walk off. "Prepare the song to beg so we will let you back to New Directions, first." Finn says. "Also from McKinley High, let's give it up for the New Directions!" We then make a little run to the stage until the curtain lifts up and the music begin and we start singing.

We then walk off from the stage and run happily to get to the choir room. Our performance ended up really well and I cant believe that we really did that. ~~~~ Now we're back to the stage and waiting for the winner announcement. My heart beats so fast right now, even faster than when Finn kissed me. I'm so nervous. "Your hand is as cold as ice." Tina says quietly. "I'm nervous." I sigh. "As an award-winning clown, I'd like to say that it's nice, for once, to be working with kids that are just sick with talent." That clown judges says to us. "Third place.....The Unitards!" We are clapping for The Unitards. And the judges give the trophy to them. Now only The Troubletones and New Directions left on the stage. "In second place we have the Troubletones! In first place is New Directions!" We jump happily and cheering together. The judges gave us the biggest trophy. I turn my face at the Troubletones and they seemed look sad. I feel sorry for them but the good thing is they can back to New Directions and we will have our national victory this year.
