I'm walking in the hallways then turn my way to the choir room. I gasped when I see the choir room is empty and looks like someone just took our stuff away.
"What happened?" I whisper at Tina and sit down next to her.
"We got no place to rehearsal." Tina simply said.
I look around and this place is kinda empty. No more music sheets or even music instrumental. I keep look around until I landed my eyes on Jake who sitting down next to Marley. I'm kinda curious, when she was fainted, Jake was there and maybe everyone was right. Puckerman will always be Puckerman.
"This place looks like a haunted house." Artie says and look around.
"So, that's it? No more Glee?" Sam asks Mr. Schue and Finn.
"Until next September." Mr. Schue nodded.
"Sugar already bailed." Artie simply said.
"Can I just say what everyone is thinking? This is Marley's fault. New Rachel, my butt. I knew Rachel Berry. I was friends with Rachel Berry, and you, Marley, are no Rachel Berry." Tina protest.
"Mm-hmm. Preach!" Artie simply nodded.
"Guys, guys, enough. It's not like it's over. The holiday concert is later this week, and we are going to be preparing for it all week long. If this is our swan song, let's make it the best one it can be." Finn says to us.
"You really expect us to go up in front of the whole school and parade our loserdom for all to see?" Kitty asks.
"Yeah, Kitty does have a point. We agreed to do the show when we thought it would be on the heels of another Sectionals victory. Now it just feels like a pity party." Artie says to them.
"I love to sing and dance as much as anybody, but without a competition to prep for, it's hard to get motivated." Tina says.
"Couldnt agree more." I nodded.
"I understand that we need a little shift in perspective, but let's just enjoy this week, and look forward to our big comeback next year." Finn says to us.
"That's right." Mr. Schue nodded.
"What about those of us who won't have a next year?" Sam asks.
Tina, Artie, Blaine, Sam, and I just look at each other. Yeah next September we all probably going to graduate and no more in McKinley. We will go out and have our future.
The bell rings
I half-smiled and stand up from my seat. I walk out from the choir room and I cant believe that this is really happening. I have no club. And how can my senior year become bright?
"I really need a club so my senior year wont be nothing." I let out a sigh and lean on against my locker.
"This is insane." Sam says to me.
"Sam..." I turn my face at him.
"What?" Sam turns his face at me while put chapstick on his lips.
"I miss the smell of your armpit." I grin at him.
"I though you wanna talk about something else." Sam rolls his eyes.
"Do you know what happen between Marley and Jake?" I ask Sam.
"Why?" Sam shut his locker then turn his face at me.
"They are like have a thing. I dont know but I really like Jake but I guess I should move on now." I exhale.
"This is not the end. You are more beautiful and talented than her. You're smart and if he smart enough he would be choose you over her." Sam says to me.
"It is?" I raise my eyebrows at Sam.
"Yeah. Dont ever give up. Fight for the things that can make you happy." Sam says then takes my hand. "Now, just forget it and we can go to have lunch in cafetaria and wondering about our future."
"I already sent my application letter and some design to FIT." I said to Sam.
"And then?" Sam asks me.
"They havent answer me yet. I just want to get that." I half-smiled at Sam.
"You will get that. I promise." Sam smiles at me.
"I hope so." I smile back at him.

I'm laying my body in my bed while Blaine is sitting down on the carpet floor and reading some fashion magazine.
"We need a club so we wont be bored like this after school." I groan.
"What about we join the sewing club?" Blaine grins at me.
"Blaine, that's not funny." I shake my head.
"Umm Superhero Side-Kick club?" Blaine asks me.
"We already have Secret Superhero Society Club." I simply said.
"Then what club we are going to enter?" Blaine asks me.
"A club that can make us shine." I grin at Blaine.
"The cheerios!" Blaine and I said together then hi-five at each other.
"Ssshhh Finn is downstairs." I said quietly at Blaine.
"So we will join The Cheerios tomorrow?" Blaine asks me.
"Yep." I nodded.
"Okay then." Blaine simply nodded. "How is the thing going on between you and Jake?"
"I think he is kinda choose Marley over me. I dont know. We still texting but not as much as we did at the first time." I let out a sigh.
"Oh come on, we are so unlucky in love." Blaine simply said.
"But at least you can go back talk to Kurt again since he forgives you." I said to Blaine.
"The good things is we will celebrate Christmas together. That's it." Blaine grins at me.
"Kate, honey, someone is looking for you!" Carole shouts from the downstairs.
"It must be your blonde trouty mouth." I let out a sigh and stand up from my bed. "Coming!" I shout and walk out from my room.
I walk downstairs and turn my way to the living room and nobody's there. I turn my way to the front door and open the door.
"I told you to... oh I-I though you were Sam." I half-smiled at Jake.
"I was visiting a friend around here and I was thinking that maybe I could stop by." Jake giggles.
"Just come in. Actually Blaine and I are just hangin out in my room." I said to him and let him in then close the door.
"You were hanging out with gay guy?" Jake asks me.
"Well, Blaine is my best friend and we hangin out many times and he used to date my brother so he usually came here." I said to Jake and walk upstairs.
"I was thinking that maybe you could... hey, man." Blaine turns his face at Jake and I as we both enter my room.
"Did I-did I disturb you guys?" Jake asks us.
"No, Blaine and I were reading some old fashion magazine and we just kinda hangout since we went home early and no more clubs." I half-smiled at sit down on the edge of my bed.
"Yeah. Well, actually I forgot that I have homeworks to do. I borrow your magazine okay." Blaine stand up from his seat and hold a magazine. "See you, guys tomorrow."
"Oh dont forget to close the front door." I said to Blaine.
"I will." Blaine simply said and walk off from my room.
"So this is your bedroom?" Jake asks me.
"No this is Finn... of course it's mine." I roll my eyes.
"What's wrong with you huh?" Jake chuckles and pinches my nose.
"Why are you here?" I ask him.
"I cant come here anymore?" Jake raises his eyebrows at me.
"Yes." I shake my head then chuckle. "Of course you can."
"Umm I was just bored. I dont know where I should go so I went here and though maybe you might be home and here you are." Jake grins at me.
"Why you didnt tell me at first?" I ask Jake.
"You only live couple blocks away from me and drive my car and went here it was so much faster than text you first and waiting for your answer because it's killing me." Jake chuckles.
"Really?" I smirk at him.
"Yeah. I didnt lie." Jake smirks back at me.
"I was just thinking that maybe because you didnt dance for sectionals so that's why we lose. I cant believe that you couldnt get that." I said to Jake.
"Well, it was kind of bro things with Ryder. He was really cool about you and I went out and he asked me to not take the dance lead from him so I did and the reason why we lose wasnt that actually. He was incredible." Jake says to me.
"By doing his end zone moves." I chuckle.
"And I dont have that." Jake chuckles.
"So you both are no mortal enemies again?" I raise my eyebrows at Jake.
"Nope. No more. I dont wanna get in trouble anymore." Jake simply said.
"That's actually good." I smile at him.
"And dont smile at me like that because it melted me." Jake chuckles.
"Well, I have the friends dvd you gave me and I actually was about to watch that. Do you want to watch it with me?" I stand up from my bed and walk to my book rack and take the dvd from the box set.
"Why not. It will be a great idea." Jake smiles at me.
"But since my dad took my tv away so we are gonna watch it here." I said to Jake and put my dvd to my iMac then sit down on my bed.
Jake suddenly hugs me from behind and put his hand around my belly. My heart beat so fast right now. I never feel like this before. Last time I feel that when I was with Artie. And now I feel it again. I really like Jake. Seriously.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blaine and I walk in the hallways together. Holding hands at each other and we are going to join The Cheerios because we want to be a part of a team. Sam doesnt need that because he is a quarterback from football team but Blaine and I need this.
"Are you ready?" Blaine asks me.
"Yes." I nodded.
Blaine and I turn our way and walk to coach Sue's office. "Can I come, coach?" Blaine knocks the door.
"If I'm not mistaken this is Marvelous Handsome Gay and Lady Hummel's Baby. What do you want?" Coach Sue asks us.
Blaine and I walk in to her office and sit down on the seat in front of her table. "We want to join the cheerios." I said to her.
"We want to be a part of the team and we think that cheerios could be a part of us being shine." Blaine says to her.
"Yeah we want our senior year become bright." I nodded.
"Alright. Take it. I need a blonde with gay brother for the bottom of my pyramid also a handsome gay." Coach Sue says to us and give us cheerios uniform. "But remember I'm gonna be blunt. 60 Minutes is doing a piece on me, and that Leslie Stahl is gonna to bring the heat. I could use a handsome, non-flammable gay to articulate how my defeating the Glee Club once and for all and absorbing its budget was actually the best thing that ever happened to him. And my squad's looking a little pale these days. Wouldn't hurt to add a dash of Yellow 4 to my championship cheer batter." Coach Sue smirks at us.
"Yes, coach. We got it." I nodded.
"Now leave, I dont want any other glee club member begged me for position." Coach Sue simply said.
"Thank you, coach." Blaine simply said as we both walk out from her office.
"That's it?" I frown at Blaine.
"That was really easy." Blaine frowns.
"Alright, I'm gonna get change and meet me after five minutes." I said to Blaine and walk to girls locker room.
I walk to girls locker room and turn my way to my locker. I change my clothes with this cheerios uniform then put my clothes to my bagpack. I'm officially a cheerleader now. I folded my hair in a ponitail then went out from the girls locker room with holding my bagpack and my cheerios uniform also my white shoes and my cheerios jacket.
Blaine went out from the boys locker room with his cheerios uniform and we both grin at each other. We then walk in the hallways and holding our hands at each other.
"Now we are part of one of the coolest club in McKinley." Blaine says to me.
"Yes we are." I nodded.
We both keep walking in the hallways until we see Tina just went out from girls toilet wearing cheerios uniform. Then turn her face at us.
"You guys joinned the cheerios?" Tina frowns at us.
"Yes. What about you, Tina?" Blaine asks Tina.
"Me too." Tina nodded.
We then continue walking in the hallways until Artie blocks our way as he is wearing his marching band costume.
"Oh, hell no." Artie mumbles.
"What happened to you?" Tina frowns at Artie.
"I joined the marching band. I'm the drum leader. What happened to you?" Artie frowns at us.
"We joined the Cheerios. We had to do something. It's our senior year. We wanted to compete. We want to be part of a team." Blaine says to him.
"And Coach Sylvester just let you?" Artie asks.
"It was way easier than I thought." I simply said.
"I get what you're saying. It's weird to suddenly feel like you're not a part of anything." Artie says to us.
"That's why we joined the basketball team." Ryder and Jake suddenly walks to us.
"Oh, no, that's why you joined the basketball team. I joined the basketball team because I'm good at basketball." Jake says to us.
"Uh-huh. I joined the McKinley Floor Hockey Team. And when I slip a wig underneath the face mask, nobody will be the wiser. Hallelu." Unique grins at us and walk to us with his Hockey Team costume.
"Who knew this school had so many clubs?" Tina asks.
"I joined the Interfaith Paintball League, where Christians, Jews and Muslims can shoot at each other safely." Joe interupts us.
"Well, it looks like we've all sort of moved on, When are we going to tell Finn?" Tina asks us.
"I even didnt tell him about this." I shake my head.
"Guys, Finn called us to...what the heck?" Sam frowns at Blaine and I. "Since when you both join the cheerios?"
"Since we decided it yesterday." Blaine simply said.
"We want our senior become bright and you dont need that because you already the quarterback of football team." I said to Sam.
"That's kinda weird. Finn called us to tge auditorium now." Sam says to us and turn around.
We then walk down in the hallways and walk follow Sam until he turn his way to auditorium and Finn already waiting for us there along with Marley. He turn his face at us and look confused at us.
"I can't believe it's been, like, what, two days, that you've all gone in completely separate, and totally insane, directions." Finn yelled at us.
"We lost Sectionals. Our season is over. You can't be upset that we've moved on. It's the healthy thing to do." Tina protest.
"Is it really? Is it the healthy thing to do to take orders from Sue Sylvester for the rest of the school year? And Artie, man, you basically dragged me out of the tire shop, telling me that this club was part of my destiny somehow. What did you even join? Your costume is ridiculous. It looks like a peacock died on your head." Finn frowns at Artie.
"It's called a plume." Artie said nervously.
"And Kate, you're my step-sister and I cant believe you betrayed me like this. You were one told me that maybe being a teacher or whatever is that can be my future. And what the hell you did? You joined the Cherioos?" Finn frowns at me.
"I just want my senior year become bright. I'm not betraying you. I want to be a part of team and competing." I said to Finn.
"Whatever!" Finn yelled at me. "Okay, look, I-I'm not going to waste all six minutes I was able to book the auditorium for yelling at you guys." Finn says to us.
"Six minutes?" Joe asks.
"Yeah. Emperor Sylvester swooped in and carved the reservation hours into tenths. So the only other time I was able to get was 9:54, Friday night, and I'll be here ready to rehearse, and I hope you will, too. 'Cause if you don't, I think you're going to regret missing that opportunity for the rest of your lives." Finn says to us.
"I'll definitely be here." Marley simply said.
"Yeah, well, we'd all be here if you hadn't face-planted at Sectionals." Tina simply said.
"Tina, enough." Finn says to Tina.
Tina just glares at Finn and take her bagpack then walk off. Brittany pushes Artie's wheelchair and walk off from the auditorium. Sam takes my hand and walk lead me to out from the auditorium until one by one walk out from the auditorium and only Finn also Marley who stay there.
I know he is older than me. And I know he is taking part of Kurt since Kurt isnt here but yelling at me like that when I just want to my senior year become bright isnt cool. I told Finn many times that I want my senior year become perfect and having no clique is not in my senior year.
"You okay? I cant believe that Finn could yelled at you like that." Sam says to me.
"Yeah I'm fine." I nodded.
"Come here." Sam pulls my body and hugs me. "Just cry if you want to cry. I'll be here." Sam rubs my hair.
I hug him back and start crying. No one ever yell at me. I mean when I did something wrong my dad usually told me what is the right one and make me admit my fault with his pep talks. He even never yell at me.
Sam's POV
"Come here." I pull her hands and hug her. "Just cry if you want to cry. I'll be here." I said while rub her hair.
Kate just hug me back then start crying. I know she is fragile one. Dont try to yell at her when she did something wrong especially when she did nothing wrong like this.
Burt even ever told me that he never yell at Kate when she did a mistake. He give her peptalks and make her admit her faults. Because yell at her will make her cry later. I know that. I know that so bad.
Now I just can hug her and comfort her while she is crying. At least I always be the guy who always be there when she is sad or just want to cry.
"No more." Kate pushes my body away and wipe her tears away.
"Feeling better now?" I ask her.
"I'm sorry I'm wetting your clothes." Kate says sadly.
"I want to have football and dont worry about that." I said to her.
"Alright, I will have my first cheerios practice. You dont need to drive me home because I have my own car now." Kate grins at me and walk away.
I turn my face to my locker and take my bagpack then put lipbalm on my lips and then shut my locker.
"Hey, man can I ask you something?" Jake suddenly walks next to me.
"What?" I turn my face at him.
"How long you've been friends with Kate?"
"Since junior year. We got some project together then we got same problem and we become bestfriend ever since." I said to him.
"You sure you dont have any feeling for her?" Jake asks me.
"Umm no. No. Why would I?" I shake my head. "She will kill me if I tell you this but she really likes you. She cant stop telling me about you."
"I know that. I blew my chance but now I want to fix that again. Thanks, man." Jake chuckles and walk away.
Dude, you're wrong. I do have feeling for her. I love her. I love her more than best friend to best friend. I love her and sometimes I think that she is my one true love. But what the hell I do?
I let her go. I want Kate to be happy because she is my happiness. If she's happy, I'll be happy too even though it's not with me. But I believe that soon or later, love will find a way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kate's POV
I'm standing in front of my locker and put my book inside my locker. Sam is standing next to me and arrange his locker. Suddenly my phone is vibrating. I take my phone and Sam's phone is also ringing.
We both look at each other then turn our face to our phone and read the message from glee club.
Dear Glee Club, I realize most of you think it's stupid to still call us that. I mean, our season's over, so what are we now, really? We lost Sectionals, so what do we have left? Nothing. We've got nothing. I got a phone call from Rachel last night. She just won the Winter Showcase at NYADA, which is, like, this huge deal. Like, not once in history has it ever gone to a Freshman. And she reminded me why. I joined Glee Club in the first place. It's about music. Every one of us loves music. And no one can take that away from us. I'm not giving up on you. Marley found a place where we can rehearse, and I want us to meet there today after school at 5:00. I hope I see you all there.
I close my phone and turn my face at Sam. "You're going?" Sam asks me.
"We already planned to do something right?" I take my ransel and shut my locker.
"Yeah. Alright. Let's go home." Sam nodded and walk lead me.
I hold my ransel on my back then walk follow him and put my hand inside my cheerios jacket. I feel bad for Finn but still I'm not sure glee club will back.
~~~~
"Kate, stop smelling my armpit." Sam groans.
"You changed your deodorant parfume." I said to him.
"So you cant smell my armpit anymore but the fact you cant stop it." Sam rolls his eyes.
I let out a sigh and sit up on his bed. "I will stop." I roll my eyes.
"Haha just kidding but it's disgusting sometimes." Sam chuckles.
"I feel bad with Finn actually." I half-smiled at him.
"Yeah me too." Sam nodded.
"But what is the thing he said was right and I cant deny it. So I dont know what to do." I said to Sam.
"Wanna go there?" Sam asks me.
I turn my face at the clock and it's already 5.30 and the snow is slowly fall down and get darks early meaning christmas is coming over.
"Sure." I nodded.
I stand up from my seat and take my coat, my beanie hat also my handgloves then walk out from Sam's room. Sam walks follows me and walk upstairs.
We then go out from his house and I walk to his car as he is get into his car and walk to the drive seat then start driving.
The snow is still fall down and the sky goes to dark. I'm just wondering if the others gonna come to us like this or not.
We finally arrived in McKinley. Sam and I went out from his car and we both turn our way to McKinley School Courtyard and we both hear music is begin and Blaine and Tina's voice.
Sam takes my hand and walks lead me until we got there and join them to singing this song. And the others one by one is coming here.
Finn:
There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Finn (and Marley):
Hey now, hey now
(Don't dream it's over)
Hey now, hey now
(When the world comes in)
They come
Finn and Marley:
They come to build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Blaine and Tina:
Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion
But there's no proof
Kate and Sam:
In the paper today
Tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page
Blaine (and Sam) with New Directions:
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
(To build a wall between us)
We know they won't win
New Directions:
Ahhhhh, ahhhh, ahh, ah (Tina: Ooo, yeah) (Finn: Hey now, hey now)
Ahhhhh, ahhhh, ahh, ah (Finn: Don't dream it's over)
Ahhhhh, ahhhh, ahh, ah (Tina: Don't dream 'til it's over)
Ahhhhh, ahhhh, ahh, ah (Finn: Yeah!) (Tina: Oh, whoa)
Finn (and Tina):
Now I'm walking again,
To the beat of a drum
(And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart)
Blaine and Tina:
Only shadows ahead (New Directions: Ahhhh, ahhh, ahh, ah)
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
New Directions:
Ahhhh!
Finn with New Directions (Marley):
(Oh, whoa, whoa!) Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in

(and Blaine: To build a wall between us)
Finn:
We know they won't win
No, they won't win, no
Sam with New Directions (Marley):
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over (Don't let them win)

(New Directions: Ahhhh, ahhh, ahh, ah) To build a wall between us
Tina:
Hey now, hey now!
Blaine:
Don't let them win
New Directions (Tina):

Don't dream it's over (Blaine and Finn: Don't let them win)
Hey now, hey now (Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh, yeah)
Don't dream it's over
Blaine and Tina with New Directions:
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
We ended up our song together and smiling at each other and hugging at each other. Glee club is back. And I cant wait until Christmas come. This is gonna be amazing senior year.
