I walked into my first day at my new school. Being the bastard daughter of one of the richest men in town was not what I wanted to be. It also meant that I was the half-sister of the previous valedictorian. I've never met her, as unlikely as it may seem. After I got kicked out of Crawford Country Day, I would be going to William McKinley High. I guess it could be going to be going to a school named after a less memorable president. At least someone cared enough to shoot him. It's not like I was going to Franklin Pierce High.

Among the recent accomplishments of the school were: a football state championship, a hockey state championship, a national championship for mathletics and the glee club won a national championship. I guess that meant that show choir was cool at this stuff. That's kind of sad. I knew that I wasn't to audition, even know my sister was into that too.

I thought about skipping first period. It was just homeroom. I don't think that I would because I didn't want to face my dad's wrath. He had married my mom after his wife figured out about my existence. He already hated my style and attitude, but the guy missed the first 13 years of my life.

"I didn't know that they let raccoons go to school." One of the football players said to me.

"Well they let jackasses go here, so I'll be right at home." I quipped. He had a cup in his hand filled with some sort of Slurpee knockoff. He looked like he was going to throw it in my face. "You know I wouldn't if unless you're wearing your cup right now."

"What do you mean?" He asked. I smiled and kneed him in the groin. He was not wearing a cup. "You know who it doesn't get better for? Bullies."

I then walked to my homeroom with Mr. Schuester. He was also the History teacher and director of the Glee Club. I just sat there since there really wasn't anything to do on the first day. When the period was over, I prepared to leave.

"Charlotte, I need to talk to you." Mr. Schuester said to me. I sighed. He probably wanted me to be in his Glee Club.

"First off, my name is Charlie." I told him. "Second, I'm not interested in joining your club. Just because my sister was part of it doesn't mean I'm going to be."

"I just want you to audition." He urged. "How about I make a deal with you? You audition and I'll give you extra credit in History."

"I see you haven't checked my transcripts." I replied. "I got all As last year. I don't need extra credit."

"Well how about you get to skip the first test?" He bargained.

"Deal." I replied. "You just agreed to something without even knowing if I can sing. That is not a smart move, Mr. Schuester."

I walked out of class. I could sing. I probably wouldn't accept the invitation, though. He had also said that I only had to audition, not that I had to join.

So after school, I went to the audition, telling my mom that I needed to be picked up afterward. I couldn't wait until I turned 16.

When I was backstage, I happened to hear some girls and guys warming up and sounding rather terrible. The only one that wasn't was a girl that was wearing a hat.

"So what's your name?" I asked curiously. Since it might drown out the noise.

"Marley Rose." She answered.

"Charlie Fabray." I declared. "So what are you going to sing?"

"New York State of Mind." She told me. "What are you gonna sing?"

"It's Avril song called 'Wish You Were Here'." I explained. "I don't even know if I'm gonna be on it if I get in. My teacher just said that I have to audition."

"Well you should give it a try." Marley suggested as I heard her name be called. "Well I hope that to see you later."

I stood by the edge of the stage and noticed that Marley was really good. It was nice that someone wasn't singing "Call Me Maybe". I don't even have anything against the song, but it's not exactly a song that requires any vocal chops to sing. Okay, it requires more than most of these people had.

"Charlie Fabray." Mr. Schuester called.

I gave my sheet music which I had printed off the internet to the pianist. He played the first notes and I began to sing

I can be tough, I can be strong
But with you, it's not like that at all
There's a girl that gives a…bit
Behind this wall, you just walked through it

And I remember all those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

Damn, damn, damn
What I'd do to have you here, here, here
I wish you were here
Damn, damn, damn
What I'd do to have you near, near, near
I wish you were here

The crowd applauded when I finished and I had to admit that I liked the sound of it. I still didn't know if I would join the club. That Marley girl seemed nice, but I didn't know anyone else. If I had to guess, the only person that might make the club was this mixed-race guy named Jake.

The next morning, I went to see the list of people who were in. I saw it and it was just me and Marley. Jake looked disappointed. I guess his diva moment when he didn't get to finish was what he cost him. I guess he didn't know that you don't sing the full song for the audition.

At lunch, I waited in line where I noticed Marley. I guess the good thing was the lunch was actually not terrible. It wasn't as good as it was at private school, but it was at least edible and had some flavor to it.

"So, we both made it." Marley replied. "Are you gonna go?"

"I don't know. Doesn't seem like my scene." I replied. I then noticed that the lunch lady was looking at Marley. I thought it was weird at first. That was when I realized something. "She's your mom."

"What?" Marley asked.

"The lunch lady is your mom." I declared.

"How do you know?" She questioned.

"You have the same eyes." I replied.

"Look, you can't tell anyone." Marley begged.

"Are you ashamed?" I asked. I was ashamed of my father, but I had reason to be.

"No, she's the one that wants me to be popular." Marley explained. "She doesn't want people to know that I'm the lunch lady's daughter."

That was kind of weird, but in a way really sweet. I don't really think either of my parents would do something like that for me.

"Okay." I responded.

I noticed that the Glee Club was sitting with the football team and the Cheerios. That's not something that I came up with. That's actually what they're called. I knew that I wasn't going anywhere near there. I decided to take a seat at a table by myself.

As I was eating, I couldn't help but notice that they were making jokes about Marley's mom. I don't think I would go to the meeting now. Marley seemed to finally have enough and snapped at them. Good for her for not being afraid to commit social suicide to defend her mom. If they were going to be bullies, I wasn't interested. One of the football players responded by throwing his Slurpee knockoff in Marley's face. Okay, I was going to do something about this. I went straight to the principal.

"Ahh….vampire!" He remarked. Was this guy stupid? He held out a cross. "You cannot harm me with your demonic ways."

You know because I felt like messing with him, I decided I would play along. I knocked the cross of his hand.

"Now listen, Mortal. I want you to get rid of Slurpee machine or you will find my fangs in your neck." I threatened. "Bullies are throwing it in people's faces and also those are unhealthy. If you like being alive, you'll get rid of it."

I was about to call a cab to pick me up because my mom was working when I saw Marley.

"You know I could give you a ride after rehearsal." She replied. "My car's not great, but it beats walking."

"Are you seriously going there after what they said about your mom?" I asked in confusion.

"They apologized." Marley answered. "They let the popularity go to their heads and made a bad choice, but I think they are good people."

"I guess I can see what it's like." I stated before Marley gave me a hug. "But I don't like hugs and by the way, I may have found a way that you won't have to deal with any more Slurpees in the face."

We went to the choir room, and apparently they wanted us to go to the stage. Marley and I were supposed to sing a number together. The song was a country song, but I heard this before and liked it. I started off

Weather man said it's gonna snow
By now I should be used to the cold
Mid-February shouldn't be so scary
It was only December, I still remember
The presents, the tree, you, and me

Marley started at that point.

But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you

They say I'll be okay
But I'm not going to ever get
Over you

Well it sinks in you know
When I see it in stone

Cause you went away
How dare you?
I miss you

They say I'll be okay
But I'm not going to ever get
Over you

Maybe I would enjoy this.

So for starters, Unique is not there. I don't have anything against transgendered people or characters, but I don't like how the character is presented. Second, don't expect her to be paired with Jake but there will be some interesting moments when they figure out that they share a niece. Please don't forget to review.
