My life. I'm Rachel Berry, and I was assigned showing the new students around. They have younger siblings, but all four of them are the same age.

Their names are weird. Maximum, Fang, Iggy, and Ella. Last names are Ride for the first three, and Martinez for the last girl.

Here they come. Lost, as usual. Like I am.

After I broke up with Finn, my heart is in pieces. Maybe these new boys will be a chance to get Finn jealous, and win him back.

I scan the four. The blond guy is being led by the girl with dark brown hair. He's blind, I can tell. And they seem pretty attached. Moving on...

The blond girl has big brown eyes, and she keeps on stealing glances at the dark boy. A secret crush, no doubt. He's doing the same, but not as frequently. Hmmm...

The blond girl walks up to me. "Hi. We're supposed to meet someone named Rachel?"

I put on a smile. "That's me. I'm here to show you around. If you give me your names, I can show you the schedules, and give you a quick tour."

"Okay," she responds. "I'm Max."

The brunette comes up. "I'm Ella. This is my boyfriend Iggy." She flashes a blinding smile.

"And you are?" I nod in the direction of the dark boy.

"Fang." A man of few words. Perfect.

I get my evil plan out my mind, hand them their schedules, show them around, and direct them to the sign-up sheets for activities.

Ella walks up and signs up for Glee club and Cheerios. Iggy feels for the pen, and signs up for football and Glee.

Fang signs up for football and Glee. Max goes up and signs her name under Cheerios and Glee club.

Four new voices, to harmonize behind me.

The bell rings. "Okay, we took the whole day, so the only class left for you guys is Glee. You'll have to try out, but we almost always let everyone in. For now, just sit in and meet everyone. Have a song ready by tomorrow."

They nod, and we walk to the choir room. I come in and sit next to Fang, trying to start a conversation. That fails, so I sit quietly and sneak glances at Finn. He is looking at that Max girl.

Mr. Schue walks in. "Okay, guys. It looks like we have four people who want to try out. So, introduce yourselves."

Santana does, Brittany does, Mike does, Quinn does, Sam does, Finn does, Mercedes does, Tina does, Artie does, and finally, Puck does. He's looking at Max like a starved child looks at a cake. Uh-oh...

"You guys will try out tomorrow in the auditorium. We'll see you then." The bell rings, and we leave.

MAX'S POV:

That creep Rachel was flirting with Fang. Don't act like you didn't see it.

I come home to Ella and Iggy whispering in each other's ears. I hold back the urge to gag, and go into the kitchen with a pile of CDs.

I went flying today. Even though Mom said to keep it low. All I did was fly to a forest, and from there, walk to a store to get CDs. I have to find a song.

You may be thinking "You can't sing," but I can. My newest ability. A singing voice Fang says sounds better than Ella's favorite pop star, Selena Gomez.

Fang thinks we should do a duet. I almost agreed, but I don't want everyone knowing that we're a couple just now.

I pull out a CD. This will be perfect. Maybe old-fashioned, but I never really loved that new stuff.

FANG'S POV:

Why I can't show that I like her is anyone's guess. I know she wants to keep people quiet, but still.

My song is really old, but it will serve it's purpose. Hopefully, knowing Max, she'll just fill up with emotion and hug me. Or kiss me. Either one works.

FAXINCHEL! Review, because Joe is confusing me a lot right now.
