"Oh shut up! I've had enough of your nonsense, lately!", shouts Rachel from across the Choir Room.
"Oh, suck a hot one", shouts Sonia back.
"ENOUGH!", shouts Mr. Arcine.
This has been going on for a week. I'm tired of the arguing. I've had enough of this. I need these two to be friends, otherwise, this whole Glee Club won't work. We haven't had any auditions for a while, and we still need another seven members. The popular kids won't sign up for fear of popularity decrease, the nerdy kids won't sign up for fear of being bullied. I need Rachel to take action, and I need them to stop fighting. 
"Listen. We'll have our first assignment, everyone has to tell one secret. Rachel, I need you to try and recruit some Cheerios", says Mr. Arcine, quickly.
"They hate me", replies Rachel.
"Doesn't everyone", says Sonia, quietly.
"Oh hush, Miss I'm The Mayor's Daughter", shouts Rachel.
"Rachel, there must be one who likes you", says Vincent.
"There's one, I guess".
"Get her to join, dumbo", says Sonia, sarcastically.
"I'M GOING TO GET YOU", screams Rachel, and she launches herself at Sonia. Brent and Vincent attempt to break up the fight.
As the fight settles, Mr. Arcine says "so, what do you think of the assignment?"
"Yeah, it's a really good assignment, but I have no idea of what secrets you want us to say", says Meiko.
"I agree. You're a member of this group, sir, why don't you tell us one of your secrets?", says Brent.
"Ok. Well, I'm a single father to an eight year old girl", says Mr. Arcine.
"W-w-where's the mother?", asks Meiko, quietly.
"She's, well she's left me due to my small salary", replies Mr. Arcine, a bit upset.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"LISTEN! JOIN NEW DIRECTIONS!", shouts Rachel to the Cheerios. It was late afternoon, and the Cheerios are getting ready for practice out on the oval, and Rachel is attempting to get some recruited.
"Who do you mistake us for?", says one.
"A bunch of idiots", replies Rachel, harshly.
"New Directions needs performers, you guys are great. Some of you don't get accepted into this club. It's turned into the Gabriella show lately", says Rachel.
"You know, she has a point", says one, Melissa Rowland.
"What do you mean, blondie?", replies Sarah Dane, a Cheerio.
"Well, since Gabriella has become captain, none of us get to perform any of our unique tricks, it's only Gabriella doing her little jumps infront of us doing background dancing. Glee Club can help us get the spotlight for once", says Melissa.
"Melissa is right, sign up now!", demands Rachel.
"You know, if Gabriella hears of this, she's not going to be happy", says Sarah.
"You know, Gabriella is sick and isn't coming to school for a week", says Rachel.
"Yeah, but when she finds out the Cheerios are joining Glee Club, she's not going to be too happy, I mean, why would the Cheerios have members in Glee Club? We're the height of popularity", says Sarah. "Oh, sorry, all of us, but you, Rachel, are the height of popularity".
"OH YOU'RE GOING DOWN, BITCH!" screams Rachel. She launches herself at Sarah, and the two begin to fight. The Cheerios form a circle around the two.
"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!", the Cheerios begin to chant. 
In the middle of the circle, Rachel and Sarah continue to fight. Sarah's nose starts to bleed, and Rachel's hair has gone crazy. The fight lasts for another minute, before a shout is heard.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!", screams a teacher running towards the Cheerios.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You got into a fight?", exclaims Mr. Arcine. Rachel, Mr. Arcine and Sarah are sitting in the Principal's office.
"We're very tough on acts of violance at this school, Martin", explains Principal Figgins.
"Oh, is that why Meiko Lin gets bullied everyday?", says Rachel, angered.
"No teachers ever see that", says the Prinicipal.
"Oh, and the fat English teacher just happened to see this?", says Rachel, rolling her eyes.
"What's her puunishment?", asks Mr. Arcine.
"Miss Wilson and Miss Dane will both receive a weeks suspension for violence on the school grounds", says Principal Figgins, sternly.
"A WEEK? NOW THAT'S UNFAIR", screams Sarah.
"It's perfectly fair", says the Principal.
"Oh, this is great. I get suspended for being attacked by someone who can't even add one and one", says Rachel. She stands up, and walks out of the office. She walks past a classic geek, and pushes him into the wall.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"SUSPENDED?", screams Brent, in horror.
"Yes, Rachel was caught having a fight with another member of the Cheerios, and got a week suspension", explains Mr. Arcine.
"About time, she was a ticking time bomb", says Sonia.
"Okay, moving on from Rachel, who's going to tell us their secret?", Mr. Arcine asks.
The four members look down at the ground. "Oh, come on! I told you mine, time to tell you what yours is!", says Mr. Arcine.
"Umm... Is this Glee Club?", asks Melissa, standing in the doorway. 
"Why, yes it is", says Mr. Arcine.
"I would like to join", says Melissa, boldly.
"Okay, auditions are held in the auditiorium. If you set up, we'll be there in a few minutes", says Mr. Arcine. 
Melissa turns around, and leaves. Mr. Arcine follows her.
"Well, aren't we lucky?", says Sonia.
"What do you mean?" asks Meiko.
"None of us wanted to say our secrets, and Melissa helped us".
"They're secrets for a reason", says Vincent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey! I'm Melissa Rowland, and I'll be singing Domino, by Jessie J", says Melissa when everyone is seated.
"Let's go!", shouts Mr. Arcine.
Melissa sings her song, and the member of New Directions are very pleased with the performace. 
Vincent and Brent are shown to be looking uncomfortable during the performance. Meiko, Sonia and Mr. Arcine are impressed with her singing. 
"Well done, Melissa!", says Mr. Arcine.
"You two, why so pissed?", asks Melissa, staring at the two boys.
"No reason", says Vincent.
"Well, at least we have another member", says Brent.
The group get up, getting ready to leave, when a girl walks in. 
"I head the terrible singing from outside, and thought you guys needed a beautiful singer to help this club", says the girl, Liz Kingston.
"Well that was harsh", says Melissa and Sonia in unison.
"Meh, I'm harsh", says Liz. "HIT IT!", she screams to the band members.
She begins to sing It Will Rain. 
Yet again, Vincent and Brent look annoyed and uncomfortable during the performance. 
"Uh, well done Liz! Welcome to the New Directions", says Mr. Arcine, after she finishes her performance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dude, there's now five girls and only two boys! We need another", says Vincent to Brent. The two are sitting at lunch, and discussing New Directions.
"Definitely, we need to even this out. Today, after Glee practice, we'll sing a duet in the boys change room, and attempt to convince others to join", says Brent.
"Deal".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay, will anyone reveal their secrets now?", asks Mr. Arcine during the next Glee club meeting.
"What's this about revealing secrets?", asks Liz, curiously.
"Oh, of course! You and Melissa don't know. This weeks assignment is to reveal a secret about your life", says Mr. Arcine.
"I'll go", says Melissa.
"Hurry up", says Meiko.
"I have a twin".
"Does she go to this school?", asks Brent.
"No".
"Where does she go?", asks Sonia.
"Nowhere. She... she died two years ago", says Melissa, her voice quivering. Sonia stands up and gives Melissa a hug.
"Anyone else?", asks Mr. Arcine.
"I'll go", says Sonia.
"Okay then", says Mr. Arcine.
"I would like to sing about it, though. If that's fine?", asks Sonia.
"Of couse, this is Glee club!"
Sonia stands up and walks to the front of the Choir Room. She begins to sing Best Thing I Never Had, the members of the club are confused by the song.
"That was a beautiful performance", says Meiko, "but where's the secret in that?"
"I can't remember anything from past two years ago. It's like a mind block. I have frequent flashes, but I can't remember anyone in them. There's a man, who comes towards me, he looks a little drunk. There's also two other adults, but they seem loving. I thought they were my mum and my dad when he was younger. See, I can't remember my mum at all. Dad says she died during birth", explains Sonia.
"That was very long, but emotional", says Liz.
"Who's next?", asks Mr. Arcine.
"I will", says Vincent. "I lied to my parents about this club. I told them I'm in the Maths club".
"Why would you lie to them?", asks Brent, curious.
"They only care about academics."
"Same with my parents. If I get 90 percent in a test, I get grounded", says Meiko.
"I'm grounded right now", says Liz.
"Why?", asks Brent.
"I spent more than my weekly thousand dollars".
"You get a thousand dollars a week?!", exclaims Meiko.
"Yes, how much do you get?"
"Ten!"
"Okay, so Melissa, Sonia, Vincent, Meiko and Liz have shared something. You're the only one left Brent", says Mr. Arcine.
"My father died when I was two, then my step-father sexually abused me", says Brent, bravely.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dude, you were so brave saying that in Glee", says Vincent, as he opens the door to the change rooms the next day.
"Thanks, but now we have to be brave and get some members to join Glee", replies Brent.
"I agree, let's do this!".
The two begin to sing Good Life. None of the boys seem interested in the two of them, except one, Liam Ramsey. Brent notices Liam enjoying the performance, and nudges Vincent, and they walk over to him as the song ends.
"Hey", says Liam.
"Hey, you should join Glee club", says Brent.
"Why?"
"You seemed to be enjoying that performance, and you can do cool numbers like that in Glee, it's the perfect place", says Vincent.
"Yeah, sure".
"Okay, auditions are in five minutes", says Brent.
"Auditions? No, I'm too nervous to sing in front of a bunch of strangers", says Liam.
"We'll sing with you", says Vincent.
"Yeah, that'll be okay, I guess", says Liam.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay, everyone. Liam Ramsey should be coming in, but he's nervous to sing by himself, so Vincent and I are going to be singing with him", explains Brent. 
"Aww, poor him", says Liz.
Liam then walks onto the stage. Brent and Vincent make their way to the stage, as Liam introduces himself, "Hey, I'm Liam Ramsey and I'll be singing Secrets by OneRepublic to go with your assignment for the week".
Brent and Vincent start the number off, with Liam singing here and there. By the end of the song, Liam sings lead with Brent and Vincent as back-up. As the performance comes to a close, New Directions cheer, and Liam's face is filled with delight.
