i had spent a wonderful summer with jesse and things were better than ever.

we laid in my bed, dreading the fact we had to go back to school and back to being enemies.

(a/n: i decided to make him a senior this year instead of last year, so it fits my :) narrative)

"god, i don't wanna go back." i sighed, burying my face in his chest.

"i know. this summer has been so good." he frowned.

"it has. i'm really glad i gave you a chance." i grinned and leaned up to kiss him.

"me too." he laughed pulling away from the kiss.

"you think we'll be able to keep this up when we get back to our teams? we've been in a bubble all summer and it's been great. but now that we have to listen to everyone else..."

"i don't care what they have to say. i'm done with that. it's all about you." he said.

i grinned and kissed him once more.

"couldn't agree more. it is all about me." i smirked.

he laughed and turned away from me.

"so how has finn been?" he asked.

"oh you know, typical finn. our relationship has been a little different since...well you know he said he's waiting for me and he loves me and all. but, he hasn't tried to move on me or anything." i shrugged.

"good."

"stevie, how do you respond to rumors that you and jesse st. james are dating, but you still have a side thing with finn?" jacob came up to me, filming something for his new blog.

"jesse and i are very happy together. i have nothing going on with finn." i rolled my eyes.

"there's also been a rumor you and jesse have yet to do the nasty, but you've done it with finn and you haven't even dated. thoughts?" he shoved the mic back in my face.

"alright, that's enough. it's none of your business what i've done with who." i threw the mic back at him and walked off.

•

"you guys didn't see vocal adrenaline at regionals. they were epic. and now that stevie has decided to betray us and have sex with the enemy-"

"rachel!" i exclaimed throwing my hands in the air.

"we need more voices in order to beat them." she finished.

"yeah, i'm with rachel on this one."

"gross." brittany muttered.

"you're going to have to trust me on this, guys. now, here's the plan. nationals are in new york this year, and we are going. now let's go out there and show the school how cool it's going to be, how cool we can be. if they're not going to come to us, let's go to them. they say we only sing show tunes and '80s pop. let's show them how down we are. let's give them the song of the year, new directions style." mr. schue grinned.

we performed empire state of mind, to no affect of the crowd.

the only person who looked slightly into it was a bottle blonde boy, who admittedly was kind of cute.

•

rachel and i walked into the girls bathroom to hang up sign up sheets she had made.

rachel grinned when she saw a girl, who was even smaller than rachel, and walked up to her.

"oh, hello! i couldn't help but notice you admiring me in the courtyard yesterday." rachel smiled.

"um, what?" she asked.

"oh, you don't speak english," rachel nodded and quickly turned offensive,"you like me sing! you like me sing very much!"

"jesus fuck, rachel. she speaks english. now stop embarrassing me. hi, i'm stevie. do you sing?"

"i do."

"consider glee. it's fun." i nodded and walked off, trying to get away from rachel.

•

"the football team? artie...i'm sorry are you insane?" i asked as i walked down the halls with both him and finn.

"not anymore as insane as you are, dating jesse st. dickhead." artie shot back.

"how much longer is everyone gonna hold that against me?"

"when you realize you're stupid for being with him." artie rolled his eyes.

"i'm sorry, and just who are you dating again?" i questioned.

"guys, shut up! come on." finn scolded us and brought us to the new kids locker.

"hey sam. my name's finn. this is stevie, and this is artie." finn smiled at they boy, i now knew as sam.

"i know who you are. you're the quarterback. and haven't i seen you on t.v.?" he asked me.

"probably."

"exactly. which makes us very cool. and we'd like to talk to you about glee club." finn planted a devilish grin on his face.

cut to choir room

"so sam. tell us about yourself." finn said.

"my name's sam evans. i like comic books, sports. i'm dyslexic so my grades aren't that good but...i'm working on it." he shrugged.

"dude, your mouth is huge. how many tennis balls can you fit in your mouth?" puck asked.

i rolled my eyes and hit the back of his head.

"i don't know. i've never head any balls in my mouth. have you?"

"i like this guy." i told finn.

"so, can you sing with that big mouth?" puck questioned.

"i've never really sung in front of anyone."

"trust me, dude. chicks dig singers. right stevie?" puck smirked at me.

"her boyfriend is a big talented ball of bitch." mike shrugged.

"oh my god, fuck off!" i exclaimed and shook my head playfully.

"oh, you have a boyfriend? that's too bad." sam said.

"okay, buddy. that's enough. i'm next in line." finn said.

"there's no line!" i rolled my eyes.

these guys are impossible.

•

"well i hate to break it to you, but it looks like no one is gonna show up. so i think we should just call it a day." i shrugged.

"we said three to five. it's only four fifty eight." mr. schue told me.

"just wait, my buddy sam's gonna try out. he totally idolizes me." finn said.

"of, face it finn. you're no longer the quarterback. you're not the pied piper anymore. no ones gonna follow you around thinking everything you do is cool." kurt checked him.

"b-but he thought stevie was cool." finn muttered.

"yeah, but since he knows i have a boyfriend me being cool isn't enough if he can't get in my pants. i mean, that's why i joined glee." i rolled my eyes.

"you joined glee to get into who's pants?" a smirk played at finn's lips.

"artie's. and it worked." i said causing artie to laugh.

•

"rachel you fucking bitch!" i yelled as i saw her in the hallway.

she shrieked and tried to run.

"are you fucking kidding me?! are you really that selfish that you drove away a talented girl that could have helped us win, because she was good?! what the hell is wrong with you?" i caught up to her.

"i-i did it for you guys. i didn't want you guys to become more insignificant in the club. we already have twelve members. i didn't want it to mess up. it was for your guys, honestly." she said.

"you've gotta stop saying that. we all know it isn't true. you did it because you're already constantly fighting with me for lead, and if sunshine had come in it would have made it that much harder for you to soak up all the attention. well, i hope you're happy now, with jesse and sunshine...we don't stand a fucking chance." i rolled my eyes and walked away.
