It had been a chaotic week of glee club last week.Jesse St.James was still unfortunately a member of the new directions,and they had been arguing a lot.

Flashback:
"Mr.Shue?" Jesse asked.Nellie rolled her eyes."Can we enroll Nellie in some dance classes? Seriously she stepped on my foot about two times" Nellie scoffed.

"Nellies the most trained dancer in the school" Mike chimed."Yeah,Jesse" Finn snapped,putting extra emphasis on the word Jesse.

"Guys! Jesse,Nellies dancing is fine"

"You know what Mr.Shue,no I do" Nellie suddenly stomped on his foot causing Jesse to groan in pain.

"Nellie!" Rachel yelled running over to Jesse,trying to help him out."Aw he'll get over it.But hey,he'll need dancing lessons now,huh?" Nellie smirked.

Fast forward to today,the glee club sat gathered in the choir room as they watched Sue dancing on the computer."I haven't laughed like this in so long" Nellie grinned.

"Whats going on?" Finn questioned."You guys aren't watching the video of me falling off stage at my first tinytots pageant,are you?" Nellie gave her a confused look.

"What the hell even is that?"

"That's Olivia Newton johns physical.It was a pretty groundbreaking subject matter at the time,considering its  depiction of fluid sexuality" Jesse explained."Cool,that's nice and stuff but this video is hilarious." Nellie laughed.

"Wait wait,that's not Olivia Newton John! That's Sue Sylvester!" Finn realized,then looking at Nellie before looking back at try computer."I can tell you that me and Nel certainly did not steal it from her locked file cabinet yesterday when she sent me back to her office to get her hormone replacement injection" Nellie laughed harder at that.

"I'm posting this on YouTube" Finn told.The rest of the new directions stopped him."Do you think that's a good idea? She might kill us!"

"Even though I'm on the Cheerios,I wouldn't mind this video airing on YouTube" Nellie said."I'm with Finn and Nellie.You guys need to stop being such asses and start being bad-asses" Nellie nodded at the boy.

"First time I ever agreed with him.And thats saying a lot since I threatened to stab him in the arm last week" Nellie let out a laugh,but when she realized no one was laughing with her she covered it up with a cough."Whatever.You guys are boring" She scoffed.

Finn reached for the computer and turned to Nellie."Ten bucks it goes viral by lunch" Nellie stuffed her hands in her jacket pocket and took out ten bucks."Yeah,you're on Hudson River"

So the video did go viral,and Nellie lost ten bucks to Finn.And Sue was pissed off,claiming that the glee club stole the video from her.Nellie was a little nervous,since she was scared that Sue would assume she was involved and she would get kicked off the team.

When Nellie entered the glee room,she was exhausted.She got cut off from her nap in the nurse when Mr.Shue told the nurse that Nellie needed to get to the choir room immediately.The girl assumed that he probably knew about the video.

"Who did it?" Mr.Shue asked when she walked in."I'm confused,what's that?" Nellie questioned,pointing at the paper in his hand."It's a glist.It ranks the hottest people in glee club" Finn explained pulling her down next to him.

"This is serious.Principal Figgins is threatening to disband the club" Mr.Shue exclaimed."Why are we playing this game? We all know it was puck!" Santana chimed.

"Back off,I didn't do squat" Puck snapped."Then why is your girlfriend first on the list?" Tina asked."And why am I last? Aside from the fact I refuse to put up with you"

"Oh shut up Rachel" Nellie hissed."Ok enough! No one is accusing anyone of anything!" Mr.Shue cut in."Puck seriously did you do it?"

"Mr.Shue!" Nellie scolded."Puck is a douchebag when he wants to be,but he wouldn't pull something like this."

"Thanks Nel" Puck smiled.Nellie nodded."All right here's the important point.Between this,and posting Sue Sylvester's personal video on YouTube,you guys are getting a pretty bad reputation" Mr.Shue told.Nellie looked down.She would be in it with coach now.

"Why is that a bad thing? Maybe if we seem more dangerous,people would stop flushing my glasses down the toilet" Nellie nodded."And they won't threaten to throw my meds out" Nellie muttered sadly.

"Look,things are hard right now.I get it.You're under a lot of pressure with regionals coming up.And I know that winning sectionals hasn't had the positive effect on your popularity that a lot of you thought it would." It was true.When the glee club won sectionals,Nellie expected the people at the school to welcome them with open arms.But they didn't.Instead,the bullying got worse.

"Man,this song is wack" Nellie looked down at her paper to see the song they were singing.And Mercedes was right

"I'm going to need names for that one" Puck growled,giving his sister a protective look.Mr.Shue handed the glee club their papers and Nellie took hers while leaning on Finns shoulder,who wrapped his arms around her.

"Man,this song is wack" Mercedes commented."Yeah,when was the last time this thing was sung? 1987?" Nellie laughed."No,it's not.It's a terrific song on a long list of top hits that,because of time or some bad press,has become a joke.And like you guys,it's time to start rehabilitating it's bad reputation.The assignment for the week is for all of you to find songs like this,mine them for what works and make them great again.And then hopefully,you can apply this musical lesson to your own lives" Nellie sighed and lightly touched the bruise that was slowly going away on her cheek.

Her mother was getting angrier by the second,and started to take her anger out on Nellie.Puck was doing everything in his power to calm her down,but nothing worked.Puck shot her a small smile and squeezed her hand lightly.

"This song should be arrested for the crime of sucking" Nellie was starting to like Jesse,so she laughed along with the rest of the glee club.

"You wanna bet?" Oh god,Mr.Shue was going to start rapping again.

TW:MR.SHUE RAPPING!

The next day Artie,Tina,Mercedes,Kurt and Nellie were gathered in the choir room as they discussed the glee club.They were upset they didn't get on the glist.Nellie came in fifth place,and she really didn't care because at the end of the day she was amazing and beautiful.

"Fellow Glee Clubbers,I've called this meeting because our free-falling reps have reached terminal velocity.We are at Defcon one." Kurt told."We're such zeros they didn't even bother putting us on the glist" Nellie rolled her eyes."They're just jealous that you're pretty and amazing and they have to make themselves feel better by putting you guys down." Nellie said.

"What does a C-Lister do when their tiny star is about to fall off Perez Hilton's radar screen?" Kurt asked."They create drama....?" Nellie suggested.

"Correct!" Kurt grinned."Um excuse me,why is she here?" Everyone turned around to see Brittany sitting there.Nellie walked over to her."Brit,what're you doing here?"

"I've been here since first period.I had a cold,and I took all my antibiotics at the same time and I can't remember how to leave.And I don't know why I only made fourth place on the glist.I've made out with like,everyone at the school.I need to do something to get me in the top three"

"I'm a little pissed about my spot to.Sixth? God I get it I'm not as popular as I was before but I'm still hot!" Nellie snapped."Fine,you're in" Kurt deadpanned.

"In what?" Mercedes questioned."What is the worse thing a student can do at this school?" Kurt questioned.Nellie simply shrugged."Eat in the cafeteria" Nellie snickered at the comment.

"No,be a disruption in the library.And I'm not talking about trying to check out a reference book.I'm talking about full on chaos including getting your glee on in the stacks" Nellie smirked at the boys plan.She had been looking to cause some chaos lately,but couldn't find the time to do it.

"Genius!" Artie said.

Time Skip

That night Nellie wasn't really in the mood to argue with her mom,so she just stood in her room all night.Until she needed to use the bathroom and she was shoved into the wall,her back hitting it with such force she cried out in pain.

"M-Mom what....what are you doing?" She mumbled,her ears ringing due to the pain."Where the hell were you?" Her mom snapped."M-My room.....I'm sorry if I didn't talk to you.I'm sorry.I'm sorry" She pleaded.

"Next time you ignore me...." Nellie was shoved again,this time her face hitting the wall."It'll be much worse" She walked back in her room closing the door and Nellie slumped against the wall silently crying.She needed someone to talk to.

Nellie to Puck;Can we talk?

Puck to Nellie:Busy.I'll be home soon tho.

Nellie to Puck:Ok

Nellie slowly drifted off to sleep,still crying.

🎤🎤🎤

The plan was now about to be in motion.Nellie was in her costume along with the rest of her friends and they were getting ready to preform."Looks like we got a full house y'all" Mercedes grinned.

"I'm kind of getting cold feet here" Artie commented."Team,listen up.If we pull this off,we will be legends at this school.We'll rocket the glist.We'll be top five,easy.Artie,pump up the jams.

[Can't Touch This-Artie Abrams Plus Nellie Puckerman,Tina Cohen Chang,Mercedes Jones,Kurt Hummel and Brittany Pierce]

After the performance they were all gasping for air.The librarian got out of her seat and was walking towards them.

"Here it comes" Artie whispered."That was very cute.I'm going to talk to my pastor and see if I can get you kids to preform that for our Sunday service" Nellies jaw dropped.They did all of that just to be told that? Nellie threw her head back.

"Epic fail" She mumbled.

Later that day Mr.Shue was interrogating the glee club about who made the glist.

"I know it was you Nellie!" Mr.Shue yelled."What the hell? I would never.I love everyone in there equally and I think they're all amazing."

"No,something doesn't add up.You've been bickering and fighting with Rachel a lot lately,and why is Finn so high on the list? You two have been getting a lot closer lately as well." Nellie scoffed."Listen Shue,I don't know what kind of evidence that is,but you're wrong."

"Wrong? Then why is Quinn first? And why is Santana and Brittany so high as well? I know it was you,so just tell the truth!" Mr.Shue screamed.Nellie flinched back but covered it up.

"The unholy trinity know the love I have for them,but I have new friends now.Plus,don't you think I would've added the rest of the glee club on the list?" Nellie yelled.Mr.Shue raised his hand to run his fingers through his hair,but Nellie took it the wrong way and closed her eyes,bracing herself for the impact.

Mr.Shue quickly realized what'd he done when his eyes widened."Oh my god,Nellie.I would never do that.Oh god" He gasped.Nellie stood up.

"Listen Mr.Shue,I've had a terrible week.The last thing I needed was for someone to be accusing me of something I didn't do! And yeah,I get that you divorced your psycho wife and you're lonely but that is never a reason to take it out on us! And the fact that you're only coming at us when it could've easily been someone from outside the glee club...it sucks.Sucks really bad" Nellie croaked."Nel,I'm so sorry.Listen,why don't you take a nap and you can come back whenever you're ready" Nellie sniffled and nodded,not wanting to cry in front of her teacher.

She cried enough this week.

Puck was hardly there,and he wouldn't explain why.Finn wasn't really open ears either.So she only had Kurt,Artie,Tina,and Mercedes to talk to.Kids she would've shunned and bullied a few months ago.

As she was taking her nap,she thought about the fact that Mr.Shue was probably going to blame himself for the girl flinching.And she couldn't have that.It wasn't his fault.If Nellie had never flinched,it would've never happened.

Time Skip
Nellie stumbled out of the nurses office,she had just taken her meds.She noticed Kurt,Mercedes,Artie,Brittany and Tina standing there so she decided to walk over to them.

"Hey guys" She mumbled resting her head on Mercedes shoulder."Nellie! Where have you been!" Tina exclaimed."Nurses office.Sleeping off a mental breakdown" The group gave her a sad look but she just smiled.

"So what were you guys talking about? Maybe I can help" She offered."We're as menacing as Muppet babies" Kurt told.Nellie furrowed her brows,then realized he was bringing up their past attempt to get a bad reputation at the school.

Nellie pulled Kurt aside before they could do anything."Would your dad mind if I stood at your house for the night?" Nellie questioned."Like I told you before,my door is always open for you.Are you ok? Do you wanna talk about it later?" Nellie slowly nodded.

"Thank you"

"No problem Nel."Kurt grinned."We have to do what we've been dreading.Something more terrifying then Rachel's personality—"

"Oh god,that seems scary as hell" Nellie chimed,cutting Artie off."We have to go to Sylvester and admit that we posted that physical video." Nellie gasped."We'll be suspended.I-I'll be shunned and kicked off the Cheerios.This isn't a good plan,Artie" Nellie tried to reason with the boy,and mostly everyone was siding with Nellie.

"And it will be worth it.Finally the entire student body will see us as bad-asses." Nellie sighed.They we're going to get killed for this.

🎤🎤🎤

The next day the squad waited in the hallway for Sue to approach them so Kurt could tell them the truth."Remember,if Sylvester hits you in the face after you cop to posting the video,don't scream like a woman" Artie reminded."Kurt,you're so brave for doing this" Nellie said.

"I know.Thank you." Kurt looked like he was going to have a panic attack at any moment..Nellie fiddled with her fingers as she watched Sue come down the hallway.This was it.

"Coach Sylvester,can I have a minute of your time?" Kurt asked."What do you want,ladyface?"

"You're aware a tape was leaked onto the internet causing you to become a national laughing stock? We stole the tape from your syringe-and-pill drawer.We posted it online.We'll accept whatever punishment you see fit."

"So it was you.I can't thank you enough" Nellies eyes widened.What the hell? How did she not yell or hurt Kurt in any way?

Now they all gathered in a room as they tried to think of what the hell just happened."She wasn't angry at all.I don't get it" Artie told.

"I'm surprised we didn't get murdered" Nellie shuddered."Maybe the comments online have gotten so mean,people have started to feel sorry for her." Tina suggested.Nellie nodded in agreement.Kurt typed in the physical video.Nellie looked over and her eyes widened.

"What.The.Hell?" She questioned.The video was physical,but with Sue and Olivia John Newton.

"Isn't that...?" Mercedes started.

[Physical-Sue Sylvester and Olivia John Newton]

"I demand we watch that again" Nellie said.Mercedes and Brittany chanted again.

Time Skip
In glee club,still no one had fessed up to making the glist making Mr.Shue more frustrated then ever."All right guys,listen up.Another week has almost passed.If a list goes up later today,this issue is out of my hands.And it becomes Principal Figgins jurisdiction."

"Seriously,Mr.Shue,whoever made that list is not gonna come forward.We might as well bend over and take whatever's coming" Finn said.The man glazed over towards Nellie who simply shrugged and looked down in response.

"Ok,well then uh,let's get to it.Rachel,how about you show us your bad reputation project?" Mr.Shue suggested.Nellie rolled her eyes and pretended to yawn.

"I'd like to say a few words first—" Rachel started,but was loudly interrupted by Nellie."No one cares.Just get on with it" Rachel glared at her before continuing.

"Though I understand that a motion picture should stand on its own,I do realize that some of you are not well-versed in the complex vocabulary of the filmic arts.I expect that this video will go over some of the heads of our less-cultured teammates.So let me just say I hope you enjoy" Nellie didn't understand a word Rachel was trying to say,she just wanted to get this over with.

The video then started to play.

[Run Joey Run-Rachel Berry,Noah Puckerman,Finn Hudson,Jesse St.James]

By the end of the performance Nellie was traumatized.She pretended to play dead before Kurt lifted her forehead."Oh,I'm sorry I just died from complete trauma and boredom" She bitterly said.

"Well,why did we just um,take a moment to really absorb what we just watched" Rachel said.

"This is garbage!" Finn exclaimed."Finn!" Mr.Shue scolded."No,he's right.First of all I need to trust my instincts because I had a feeling when we were shooting that,that it was not going to be good" Puck agreed.

"Why didn't you tell me they were in this,too? I thought you and I were going out! Being triple cast with two other guys to play opposite your girlfriend? It's mortifying!"

"Excuse me,I'd like to get my two sense in as well" Nellie spoke up."Nellie!" Mr.Shue yelled."Mr.Shue,I find no reason to stop Nellie.You can't stop her once she starts!"

"First of all,this is what you were doing when I was calling you on the verge of a mental breakdown? What the hell puck! Don't even get me started on you Finn Hudson! Where the actual hell were you? Jesse can jump off a building for all I care but seriously guys?" Nellie yelled.

"It's true.She came by my house to talk to me about it" Kurt muttered.

"Nellie-" Finn started.Nellie stormed out,with puck,Finn and Kurt following.

"Nellie wait" Finn pleaded."Go away.I don't wanna talk to you Finn"

"We just wanted to say we knew what was happening" Puck yelled.Nellie turned around."What?"

"We've been talking to Kurt,while filming the bad reputation video.By the way,sorry you had to see that.But,we think it's a good idea if you go stay with him for a few days.At least until I can get mom to chill out.How do you feel about that?" Puck asked.Nellie was super shocked.To stay at the Hummel household where she actually felt happy she safe?

"Really? When the hell did this all go down? And why did you keep this from me?" Nellie asked."We just wanted you to be happy and safe.So,what do you say?" Nellie looked down before grinning and wrapping them all in a hug.

"Thank you! Ok,I promise I won't be a burden" Kurt shook his head."You won't.I promise"

The next day
The next day Nellie was in the choir room listening to Rachel's final song for the week.
