Chapter One
Start of something big
In the morning Mr Schu walked in the room and said "Right class we have to get cracking with our next songs for the Regionals".
But before Mr Schu could continue he noticed no one was listening or looking at him, so he turned his head and was stunned to see her standing there. "Sunshine Corazon, what a nice surprise its good to see you back but what brings you back here?" asked Mr Schu.
"Oh hey Mr Schuester, it great to be back in a weird sorta way" Sunshine said almost awkwardly.
Just then Rachel's hand shot up and everyone stared at her but she took no notice of them as she went ahead and asked Sunshine "You didn't answer Mr Schu's question, what brings you back here?" Rachel tried to sound as neutral-toned as possible.
Everyone stared at Rachel harder, Sunshine answered "Sorry Mr Schuester I didn't realise you asked before" "no that's ok" Mr Schu said softly.
Sunshine continued "I came back because I couldn't fit in the Glee club for Vocal Adrenaline as I did here and to be honest I kind of missed you guys here in McKinley and wanted to come back. Also I heard that 'New Directions' won the Nationals and I wanted to say congratulations".
"Thanks for that Sunshine, why don't you help yourself to seat and I will begin with my lesson" said Mr Schu "We are going to do a dedication week this week but only using one artist/singer's songs, but you can also use what you learnt about song writing from last week to write your own I have no problems with that"
"So who do you want us to use for this 'Dedication Week' Mr Schu" asked Mercedes.
"How about…" Santana stopped Rachel mid-sentence and said "Rachel let someone else talk for a change"
"That's ok Santana, everyone's entitled to an opinion" Mr Schu said like a teacher would then he continued on "this is going to be something a little different"
"But we always do something different" said Finn "how different could we possibly go Mr Schu" Finn finished off.
"Finn's right, we always do something different" said Puckerman
"I know you have guys but this is a chance to broaden our range a bit more" said Mr Schu with enthusiasm as he continued on "we are going to do a cover of Joe McElderry's songs".
The girls talked loudly and quite happy to do it, but the boys turned to one another and whispered 'whose he', seeing the confused looks from the boys Mr Schu explained to the boys, that Joe won the UK X-Factor back in 2009 and doing a lot of tours around the UK singing his songs. But nothing was ringing the bell for them so Mr Schu decided to ask the girls who would like to sing first. There's was no surprise when Rachel's hand shot up first like a bullet, so Santana reacted and pulled her arm down and said "Maybe we should let Sunshine go first".
Rachel reluctantly agreed pulling her arm away from Santana and half scowling at her.
"Only if you don't mind Sunshine" said Mr Schu
"Oh no that's ok, this is Glee club and I'm always prepared" She replied
And Sunshine took to the floor, "start in your own time" Mr Schu said.
The instrumental starts playing
I woke up late today
Actually I do that everyday
Got no place to be seen
I'm no part of a scene
I'm a genius loser
Keeping counsel with my own opinion
President of the state that I'm in
Should I just stay in bed?
Should I live in my head?
Oh god so many questions to ask
Oh you call me lazy
I think of it as taking my time
'Coz I don't want to do what I don't want to do
I'm the queen refusenik
Sunshine walked up into the group and started to danced around Rachel, but she just had her arms crossed
But – oh my god -
if I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine
But I'm a real late starter
So I'm making up for the lost time
Oh my god – if I was somebody
you'd be kissing my arse right now
But I'm so polite – I do it all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Oh well
Day by day I wonder
If I will be torn asunder
By these things that I know
that nobody else knows
Or maybe it's the drinking
I guess we should consult a bible
Everybody needs a sign – or
Bless the birds and the bees
The flowers and the trees
And blessed be the slacker
All the girls started dancing along with her
But – oh my god -
if I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine
But I'm a real late starter
So I'm making up for the lost time
Oh my god – if I was somebody
you'd be kissing my arse right now
But I'm so polite – I do it all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Oh well
Then Sam and Artie started to dance as the rest just sat there
You must be having a laugh
Oh god your having a laugh
No point in worrying if my days a disaster
Inside my little head I'm happy ever after
Yes I am
But – oh my god -
if I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine
But I'm a real late starter
So I'm making up for the lost time
Oh my god – if I was somebody
you'd be kissing my arse right now
But I'm so polite – I do it all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Oh well
But – oh my god -
if I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine
But I'm a real late starter
So I'm making up for the lost time
Oh my god – if I was somebody
you'd be kissing my arse right now
But I'm so polite – I do it all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Ohh…what am I like
Yes I am
As soon as sunshine finished singing Rachel was the only one sitting down as everyone else welcomed her back to the Glee club by joining in with her. Rachel sensed something that wasn't quite right about Sunshine, but decided to keep it to herself for a little while before telling Finn what was plaguing her mind.
Rachel then passed Finn in the hall and quickly turned and said to him "Finn?" He stopped and turned around slowly and replied "Yes Rachel! What do you want?"
'I want you' she thought but said instead "there's something suspicious about Sunshine"
Finn stared at her for a while and shook his head saying "Rachel! Don't you ever stop being jealous of people, this obsession of yours has got to stop" he said disappointedly and he walked away, before he reached the end of the lockers he turned back around and said "this isn't the Rachel I fell in love with from the start" then he turned the corner leaving Rachel standing there and she mutters under her breath 'I never stopped loving you'
Our Friendship's strong
The Chemistry has sparked
The bond we have…is…unbreakable
For we have something in common
I take one look at you and seems like
I have known you for a while
We have something in common

You give me strength
You give me confidence to express my feelings

"Hey Rachel, You ok? What's wrong?" Emma said walking towards her from behind.
"Oh hi Miss Pillsbury, Erm nothing's wrong everything is fine and under control" Rachel replied almost convincingly.
Emma Pillsbury wasn't so convinced, but she still managed to just say "Ok, you know where my office is if you ever need to talk about any issues"
Rachel nodded and said "thanks Miss Pillsbury" and walked back to class, as Emma turned around and walked in the opposite direction and suddenly quickened her pace when she saw Will.
"Will! We need to talk"
"Oh hi Emma, What about?"
"It's about Rachel; I think she's having…hmm…troubles" Emma mumbled
"You mean boy troubles" Will Said quietly
"Mmm hmm…yeah!"
"OK…Thanks for letting me know Emma"
They both walked in opposite directions after having their brief chat Will was trying to change the afternoon lesson plan a bit but as Will entered he sensed some strong tense vibes he was determined to end his lesson right.
"Ok, class let's start this afternoon off with a song, girls why don't you come up here" said Mr Schu.
So all the girls of Glee including Sunshine and Rachel took their positions in front of the boys.
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
there's a voice inside my head sayin'
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna want to make it move
Always gonna an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's
waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause
The girls dance around the boys who very slowly started to join in
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna want to make it move
Always gonna an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's
waiting on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah, yeah
The boys get into it and started singing along
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna want to make it move
Always gonna an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna want to make it move
Always gonna an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's
waiting on the other side
It's the climb
Keep the faith
(There's always gonna be another mountain)
Keep the faith
(Always gonna want to make it move)
(Always gonna be an uphill battle)
(Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose)
It's the climb
(Ain't about how fast I get there)
(Ain't about what's waiting on the other side)
It's the climb
After they had finished singing the boys cheered loving the songs but were still clueless about what song they were gonna do and so Mr Schu decided to pair each boy with each girl and have them sing a song for next lesson.
As they all headed out of the room Rachel stayed behind sitting in her chair, but it didn't go unnoticed, Mr Schu saw how upset and lonely she looked. "Rachel, do you want to talk to me or to Miss Pillsbury about what you're feeling?"
"Oh no that's ok Mr Schu, I'm just going to sit here for a moment to think things over is that ok"
"Yeah! Sure, take as long as you need Rachel"
Just as Will was about to walk out the door Rachel quietly said "Thanks Mr Schu" and he just smiled at her.
