Back to Glee Club since Nationals is only one week away and we will face nationals in Chicago and I just want to win. Last year we made it to New York but we got into twelve place and it was totally sucks. Now, I just want to win. Because if we win, my senior year soon will be bright. And no more slushie in senior year.
"Nationals." Mr. Schue says to us and write 'nationals' on the white board. "Okay, song selection: We'll be kicking off our Vintage theme with the legendary Jim Steinman's Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Rachel will do the solo, It's All Com.."
"Coming Back to Me Now. One of Celine Dion's most powerful ballads, inspired by Wuthering Heights." Rachel says to us.
"And we'll be working in a new Troubletones number, utilizing the talents of our featured performer, Porcelina Hummel." Coach Sue said and points at Kurt.
"Not gonna happen, Dragon Lady." Kurt shakes his head.
"Oh, you'll do as you're told, he/she. We will be performing What A Feeling from Flashdance, and I'm familiar with the choreography, of course, because I was Jennifer Beals' dance double. And on that note, please look under your seats." Coach Sue says to us.
I look at under my seat and take a box with welding helmets and leg warmers inside. For what is this props?
"Space helmets." Brittany says to us.
"Welding helmets and leg warmers?!" Finn frowns.
"Best way to get props is to use props." Coach Sue simply said.
"I am your father." Sam makes an impression. "Uh, Darth Vader."
"Is that a movie?" Joe frowns at Sam.
"Seriously?" I raise my eyebrows at Joe.
"A healthy dose of props, and our plucky transsexual Porcelina, and you are over the top." Coach Sue says to us.
"Aren't props a little cheesy?" Blaine asks.
"Guys, I've asked for Sue's help because she's a winner, and I'm not ashamed to admit this I want to win. But there's not one person in that audience who will think we're anything but underdogs who would be lucky to place in Nationals. We didn't even make the top ten last year. We've got one last week to come together and shake things up. If there's anyone here who is not up for trying and working their butts off, you should just get up right now and leave." Mr. Schue says to us.
Tina just look upset and suddenly stand up from her seat and about to walk off. "Whoa, whoa, Tina, where you going?" Finn asks Tina.
"You guys don't need me carry on." Tina simply said to us.
"Tina, you don't understand. I need this." Rachel says to Tina.
"Because you blew an audition? That's not a reason for you to get a solo at Nationals. Maybe the rest of us would like one, too." Tina frowns at Rachel.
"I wouldn't mind another one before I get deported." Rory simply said.
"I want one. Even though I can't sing." Sugar simpy said.
"Tina, Rachel is a senior." Mike says to Tina.
"So are you, but you can bet the only thing you'll be doing is a dance break with Brittany. Other people matter." Tina protest.
"Tina, you may not always get all the solos, but you are a key player. I put you in charge of costumes." Mr. Schue says to Tina.
"Wow! Like that's some prize." Tina says annoyingly. "You want props to move around? Well, I'm a human prop, and I'm sick of it!"
"Take a lap and cool down, Asian Number One." Coach Sue says to Tina.
"My name is Tina. Tina Cohen Chang!" Tina says angrily and went off.
"Isn't she the one who used to stutter?" Coach Sue frowns.
"Is she on her period?" I whisper at Sam.
"I dont know. Why dont you ask her?" Sam whisper back at me.
The bell rings.
I stand up from my seat and holding that box with the welding helmets. I dont know what are we gonna do with this welding helmets actually. This is totally weird.
"Kate, Blaine and I want to go to the mall today. You want to come? I'll buy you pancake." Kurt says to me.
"Sure. I also want to buy Leopard boots that I saw that day." I grin at him.
"Can I join too?" Sam raises his eyebrows at us.
I turn my face at him and frown. "You sure you want to join? We might probably have shopping clothes." I said to him.
"I carried you to buy prom stuff last week." Sam rolls his eyes.
"And fyi, no more shopping. Blaine and I just want get massage and buy pancake." Kurt says to me.
"What?" I frown.
"Give me your credit card and your ATM. I will hold it until nationals." Kurt simply said and shows me his hand.
I roll my eyes and take my wallet from my ransel and give him my credit card and ATM. "I will tell this to dad." I roll my eyes.
"Well, dad is agree with me." Kurt grins at me. "Here $50 until nationals so you cant shopping again." Kurt give me a money then walk away with Blaine.
"Glad that I only have one brother in this world." I roll my eyes. "What am I gonna do with fifty dollars?" I whimpered.
"Kate, you really can live without shopping for a week?" Sam raises his eyebrows at me.
"I cant." I shake my head.
"But you already have one big walk in closet full with clothes, shoes, and bags." Sam frowns at me.
"But I dont know what should I wear every morning to school." I said to him.
"Girls." Sam rolls his eyes.
"And my dad took the tv in my bedroom last night and move it to his room. So I only can watch netflix from my computer." I let out a sigh.
"Poor you." Sam rubs my hair.
"I'm sad." I whimpered.
"Okay, we better take you to cafetaria and have lunch. I will pay but only for today. Come on." Sam says to me and walks lead me.
I exhale and follow Sam to the cafetaria. I know Kurt and my dad are really loves me and they did this for my better future but sometimes I hate what they did. I miss my mom now.

I'm sitting down in front of my study table and doing my homework. I cancelled my going out with Kurt and Blaine today since they both also wanna go to Carmel High School and I dont want to follow them so I went home and finishing my homework.
"Kate, you're awake?" Dad open my room door.
"I'm doing homework, dad. What's up?" I turn my face at him.
"I dont know how to tie a tie. Carole still at her work and she might be work overlate and I have dinner with conference." Dad says to me.
I stand up from my seat as he is sitting down on the edge of my bed and shows me the tie. I help him to tie the tie he is going to wear.
"You okay alone here?" Dad asks me.
"Isnt that Finn downstairs?" I raise my eyebrows at him.
"He went back to the shop." Dad simply said.
"I can call Kurt to buy me food since he took my credit card and my ATM." I simply said.
"Well, I told him to do that." Dad simply said to me.
"Dad!!! He only gave me fifty dollars until nationals." I groan.
"I want you to learn to appreciate what you have. Now, I ask you is there anything you dont have? I always give you everything you want. And now I just want you to start thinking about something you need. If you can make it, I will give your credit card and your ATM back to you." Dad says to me.
"Dad..."
"Honey, you want me to buy you a car and you said that you are no more little girl. If you wanna grow up, you have to be wise in everything." Dad sighs.
"I'm sorry, dad." I half-smiled at him.
"I dont need your sorry. Look, I wont stop blame myself if something wrong happen between you or Kurt because it means that I failed to raise you both. So that's why I want you to apologize for bring a guy to our house and sleepover in your room." Dad says to me.
I just being quiet and let my head down. "Dad, I'm so sorry for that."
"Did I teach you to look at someone's eyes when you want to apologize?" Dad asks me.
I turn my face at him and half-smiled at him. "I'm sorry, dad. It's just Sam and we slept with our clothes on and we even arent dating, you know that he is my bestfriend right."
"Thank you for apologizing and being honest with me." Dad says to me. "You know what, Kate? When you were born your mom told me 'Burt, our little girl will take care of you when I'm gone'. And yes she is gone and I'm taking care of you with everything I have until you grow up and become the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen. And more proud that I can tell the world that this girl is my daughter. Your mom knew her health was in dangerous if she kept let you born but she wasnt care about that. She loves you more than herself."
"I'm sorry for everything I did, dad." I half-smiled at him and wipe my tears away.
"I just want you to be honest with me. That's it. You always told me everything. And how could I didnt know you let a guy have a sleepover in our house? Kate, you never lie to me." Dad says to me.
"I apologize for that, dad. I'm really sorry for that."
"Thank you for apologize. Now, I have to go. Take care and dont do your mistake again." Dad stand up from his seat and kisses my head.
"You too. Love you." I said to him.
"I love you too, Kate." Dad says to me and walk out from my room.
I wipe my tears away and sit down on my bed. I hug my pillow and thinking about what dad just said to me. He was totally right and I should be a good little girl and make him proud of me.
Suddenly the door bell rings. I let out a sigh and walk out from my room and walk downstairs. I walk downstairs and I'm really alone in my house. I walk to the main door and open the door as Finn is standing in front of the door.
"Next time bring your key." I simply said and let him in.
"I'm sorry, I was in hurry." Finn simply said and get in.
I lock the door and walk to the kitchen. I take a glass of water and since Kurt isnt home yet, I can eat chocolate bar. I take that chocolate bar from the freezer and walk to the living room and turn on the tv. I sit down on the sofa and watching tv and eat the chocolate.
"Did you see my phone charger?" Finn asks me.
"Nope." I shake my head.
"I'm home." Kurt open the main door.
I hide my chocolate quickly and pretend like I didnt eat anything. Kurt just looking at me then walk upstairs. My gaze follow him to upstairs and he walk to his room.
I grin and go back eating my chocolate. Kurt told me that I cant eat this everyday or I'll be fat since I'm too lazy to work out so when I want to eat that I have to hide it from him.
"You cover up the tv, Finn." I groan as Finn is looking for something from tv cabinet drawer.
"My phone charger." Finn simply said.
"I dont know where is that." I roll my eyes.
"Hah! Who says you can eat that?" Kurt walk downstairs and points at me.
"Please dont. You trying to make me skinny." I whimpered.
"Okay this is last. You can eat that again three days from now." Kurt says to me.
"You dont bring any food?" I ask Kurt.
"No. Where is dad?" Kurt asks me.
"Went to conference and he said that Carole work overlate today so you cook the dinner." I said to him.
"Fine." Kurt exhales. "By the way, Blaine and I got something that we can show to glee club tomorrow." Kurt grins at me.
"You both are getting married?" Finn frowns.
"No. We are too young to get married." Kurt shakes his head.
"Got to be honest but I though the same thing." I simply said.
"Blaine and I went to Carmel and we spied Vocal Adrenaline rehearsal. We will tell you guys tomorrow." Kurt grins at us and walk to the kitchen.
I just turn my face to the tv and still eating my chocolate bar. Finn is still busy looking for his stuff and Kurt is busy to cook for the dinner tonight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm sitting down next to Sam in boys locker room and lean my head on his shoulder. I dont know why we are here. I mean coach Sue called us here and want to say something to us or maybe about Blaine and Kurt found yesterday.
"Please ignore the stench of mildew and jock strap and focus your attention on the screen." Coach Sue says to us. "Porcelina?"
"Yesterday, I snuck into a Vocal Adrenaline rehearsal, and what I saw is not for the faint of heart. Lights." Kurt says to us as the lights out and the video is playing.
"Why is this in black and white?" Sam asks Kurt.
"Because I worship The Artist." Kurt simply said.
"Look at that. Unlike you misfit, ragtag stumblebums, each member of Vocal Adrenaline is in perfect sync. Not a step out of place." Coach Sue says to us.
"Okay, watch this closely, guys. It's called the Human Centipede. It's the newest, hardest show choir dance move ever invented. Incredible." Mr. Schue says to us.
"That actually really doesn't look that hard." Blaine frowns.
"And the cherry on top of the Vocal Adrenaline sundae is their secret weapon, Unique. Look at him/her. Poised, confident.
Pretty as a picture with a booty that won't quit. It's the Unique factor that gives Vocal Adrenaline its edge." Coach Sue says to us.
"Isn't Rachel our Unique factor?" Finn asks coach Sue.
"Not even close. I'm not saying that Mrs. Focker doesn't deserve a solo, but every show choir in the country has a little girl with a big nose." Coach Sue simply said.
"Okay, Sue." Mr. Schue rolls his eyes.
"High school judges are proven idiots. They love props, and Unique is the ultimate prop." Coach Sue says to us.
"Do you seriously think that we need a guy to dress in drag to win?" Puck asks.
"No." Mr. Schue shakes his head.
"Yes. It's the only way." Coach Sue simply nodded.
The bell rings.
The light go back to on again. I stand up from my seat and walk out from the boys locker room and holding Sam's hand as he walk lead me.
"I just wanna go to nationals faster so my dad will give the credit card and ATM back to me." I sigh.
"I have a new movie. You wanna watch it?" Sam asks me.
"Yeah but not in my house. My dad took the tv out from my room and he knew you had sleepover and slept in my room." I half-smiled at Sam.
"But we didnt do anything. We only cuddle with our clothes on." Sam frowns at me.
"Sam, I'm just sixteenth. I even dont have any car until I am officially seventeen and I just say yes about what my dad said to me." I let out a sigh.
"I know that. Alright, we still can have sleepover in my house." Sam grins at me.
"Do you realize that I said no sleepover until senior year?" I raise my eyebrows.
"You didnt say that." Sam frowns at me.
"I did say that." I frown at him.
"You did not." Sam shakes his head.
"I did, Evans." I roll my eyes.
"I dont even remember when you say that." Sam frowns at me.
"About couple minute ago." I simply said.
"You didnt say that, Kate." Sam says to me.
"Ugh whatever. No wonder Quinn, Santana, and Mercedes broke up with you because you always forget that." I roll my eyes.
"And no wonder Puck, Finn, and Artie broke up with you because you are the most annoying person in this earth." Sam simply said.
"You said what? I'm not." I protest and push his hand away.
"Whatever." Sam rolls his eyes and walk away.
"I hate you!" I shout.
Sam just cover his ears with his hands and still walking in the hallways. I roll my eyes and turn around and start walking in the hallways. Ugh Sam is really annoying.
~~~~
I'm busy with arranging my stuff. Kurt is now waiting for his NYADA letter and I will be in senior year and which mean that my future is coming over and I have to decided which university I'm going to enter.
"Kate, honey, you dont wanna have dinner?" Dad knocks my room door.
"Just a minute." I shout.
"What are you doing?" Dad walks into my room.
"Just arranging some stuff and make my to-do list." I said to dad. "Kurt is going to NYADA and he is going to graduate in two weeks so I'm starting to write my own future now."
"That's good. You know that you are the one who choose your path and I'm as your father just can support you and guide you to the right path." Dad says to me.
"Yeah. You're right." I nodded.
"And what is this?" Dad shows me a paper near my study table.
"My daily schedule. So after school when I dont have any thing to do, I will go home, take a bath, change my clothes with my pajama, and finishing my homework and have dinner. I listen what you said to me yesterday and I really want to be a better person. I dont want to make mom sad about what I did." I said to dad.
"That's my little girl." Dad smiles at me. "Come on, your dinner is waiting." Dad says to me and shows me his hand.
I hold his hand and he walks lead me to downstairs. I dont have any homework to do so I guess I wil have a sleeping beauty after this. I already wearing a short pajama pants, a tshirt, also my beloved knitted slipper boots. Fashion is still number one for me.
"Why took you so long? Was she fall asleep?" Kurt frowns at dad.
"I was writing my future. Right, dad?" I said and walk to the dining table.
"Yes, that's right." Dad nodded as agree and sit down in dining table.
"I was thinking that I'm going to facing my senior year so I have to start writing my future from now. And find my passion." I grin at Kurt.
"Since when you become a little smarter like that?" Kurt frowns at me.
"Dad...." I whimpered.
"Kurt..." Dad rolls his eyes.
"Well, I can say that's good. You've come prepared. I mean, you know what are you gonna do after high school." Carole says to me.
"But I havent decided. Art or science. Since fashion is my passion and I love science and math." I giggle.
"Why dont you try interest and talent test? You can find out which one you more interest in. Fashion or science." Carole says to me.
"Is there any test like that?" Finn frowns.
"It is." Carole nodded.
"I actually ever heard about that but I guess I'll try that one as long as dad let me." I grin at dad.
"Just choose your path and dont bring a guy to have sleepover." Dad says to me.
"Yes, dad." I roll my eyes.
The other just chuckles. I roll my eyes and let out a sigh and continue eating my dinner. I have to start to thinking and choose my path from now on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I put my pouch into my ransel and look at myself in front of the vanity mirror in girls toilet. I just put chapstick on my lips and cant stop looking at myself at the mirror since this morning. I really like my outfit for today. An short denim overall, a floral blouse without sleeve, a white converse, and I let my hair with a messy braid.
After that I went out from girls toilet and turn my way to glee club until I see Sam is standing in front of his locker and arrange his locker.
"I'm sorry about yesterday. You were right, I didnt say that but my dad did. No sleepover until I'm officially 17. And that's sucks." I roll my eyes.
"That's good." Sam makes an impression and chuckles.
"Well, we still can have sleepover in your house." I smirk at him.
"Great. Because I miss my alive teddy." Sam chuckles and shut his locker then takes my hand and walks lead me. "Come on, we will be late for glee club."
"Sam, I know what is the thing that can make me go for shopping only once in a month." I said to him.
"How?" Sam turn his face at me.
"I will take all your clothes." I grin at him.
"And I will wear your tanktop? I can see your underware?" Sam asks innocently.
"Haha just kidding. From now on, I just want to make schedule for everything." I said to him.
"But for today after school. No schedule." Sam simply said as we both enter the choir room.
Sam is like my gay boyfriend now. I substitute him for a boyfriend. And I'm still dont have any special feeling for him. I never feel this close friendship between me and a guy but we made it.
"Since Porcelain refuses to be a team player and dress up like a lady, we're gonna have to up our prop game. I've ordered 18 little people, one for each of you." Coach Sue says to us.
"Wait. Little people?" Mr. Schue frowns.
"Munchkins. I found 'em online, William.
And don't worry, I got a mix of race and ethnicities so you can keep up with your little diversity charade." Coach Sue says to us.
"I can't dance with a little person. I can hardly walk." Quinn frowns.
"There's that can don't attitude, Quinn." Coach Sue simply said.
"Sue, I think maybe we are going a little too far with the props. Let's just spend some time working on choreography for Dashboard." Mr. Schue says to us.
"Sure, if you want to lose." Coach Sue simply said.
Puck suddenly walks in wearing a dress and blonde girls wig. I raise my eyebrows. What's wrong with this guy? Is his brain got flu or something?
"Puck?" Mr. Schue called Puck.
"Hello.." Puck grins at us.
"My eyes are burning." Mercedes simply said.
"Look at those legs." Mike said.
"I am strangely turned on right now." Santana simply said.
"Those hot abs." I mumbled.
"Please only address me by my stage name Lola." Puck says to us.
"Puckerman, I respect your commitment to winning, but without a doubt, you are the ugliest woman I have ever seen. For a second there, I thought you were Beiste's sister." Coach Sue says to Puck.
"It's not about being pretty. It's about someone in here having the balls to do what he has to do to put us over the top." Puck says to us.
"Well, you know, if this is gonna work, you're gonna have to shave off all of your body hair." Coach Sue simply said.
"Enough!" Mr. Schue yelled. "Sue, look, I really appreciate all the help you've been giving us but I am done with all this props madness. All we're doing for the next three hours is learning choreography for Dashboard." Mr. Schue says to us and turn his face at Puck. "Puck, go change."
Puck exhales and walk off from the choir room. I cant believe that I ever date him. Like literally.
"You cannot see something like that. William, I'm oddly aroused by your sudden forcefulness, and I will let you handle this rehearsal, however, I feel it necessary to warn you: I prepaid for the little people." Coach Sue says to Mr. Schue.
This is totally weird. Like literally. I just hope that we can win nationals and go out from our loser marks. That's it.
