At McKinley High School, there were two categories you could be in. The populars, which were the Cheerios,aka the cheer team,and the football jocks. The other group were the losers, the nobodies. No one even took the time to remember their name.

Nellie Puckerman was at the top. For starters, she was the little sister to one of the most popular guys at school, Noah Puckerman, who everyone basically called Puck. Second, she was the captain of the Cheerios and a member of the unholy trinity.

Currently, they were all performing their cheer for Sue Sylvester, who was watching on the bleachers.She didn't do much, just some running around and flips. After the performance Sue looked at them with a disgusted look.

"You think this is hard?" Sue called out their her megaphone. "Try being waterboarded. That's hard"

Nellie had no clue what that meant, probably just one of Sues attempts to scare the newbies.

After practice, Nellie walked over to the dumpsters where her big brother and his football losers stood.

"Puck,I need two bucks to buy me a water bottle" She said.

Noah just rolled his eyes and looked at her. "Busy. Go ask someone else.

"Seriously? I'm thirsty!" She whined.

"Hey guys" Nellie turned around to see William Shuester, the Spanish teacher. Nellie gave a wave and a small smile.

"Making some new friends Kurt?" Mr.Shue asked.

The tan teen didn't even notice Kurt was standing there until he was mentioned. And his outfit was looking fabulous.

"He sure is, Mr.Shue" Puck replied.

"Hey Finn, you still owe me that report on "Que Hace en su verano pasado" Mr.Shue said to Finn.

"What?" The boy asked confused.

"What you did last summer. Nellie, come by my classroom. I graded your work from a week ago."

Nellie gave a nod and Mr.Shue walked away.

"Dude! Get your work in!" She hissed hitting Finns shoulder.

"I'm sorry!" He exclaimed wincing from the hit.

"It's hammer time!" Puck spoke completely changing the topic.

"Please this is from Mark Jacobs new collection!" Kurt pleaded. Mark Jacobs? Nellie always wanted some things from his collection, but she could never afford it.

"Wait" Finn interrupted.  Kurt took off his stuff and handed his bag to Puck and his jacket to Nellie who stared at it with wide eyes.

"Okay" Finn confirmed.

"One day you will all work for me" Kurt said walking away. Nellie chuckled at the boy and turned to Puck, holding her hand out.

"You owe me two bucks" Nellie gave a sarcastic grin and walked into school and to her locker. She moved her bushy curly hair out of the way from her face and opened her locker. Nellie turned to her schedule, and wanted to chuck it out the window when she found out she had first period Spanish.

Mr.Shue was a terrible teacher. Someone had to say it. He hardly knows any Spanish, nor probably had none before teaching. It would've been better if someone who was actually fluent in Spanish was to teach the students.

"Coma esta usted? Yo me llamo Guillermo?" Mr.Shue asked, wanting the class to repeat it. The class did, but very lazily, with no energy.

"Que lastima,hojala que de sienta mejor"

Nellie and Finn repeated it again lazily.

"Good Good" Mr.Shue said.

The final bell rang and Nellie shot up walking out of class.

"Nellie, hey Nellie wait,"Mr.Shue caught up to her, holding a paper."Your paper" Nellie looked down to see she got a B plus. Close enough to what she was going for.

"Thanks" She muttered walking to her locker.Santana and Brittany walked up to her.

"Did you hear?" Santana asked the girl.Nellie closed her locker and leaned against it.

"No, what's going on?" Nellie replied.

"Sandy Ryerson got fired" Nellies eyes widened. He ran the glee club, and honestly was a creep in general.

"Really? What happened?" Nellie questioned now fully into the conversation.

"Got caught smuggling drugs.Good riddance." Santana explained."

"He tried to look up my skirt once" Brittany chimed. The two girls gave her a confused look.

"See you guys" Nellie waved goodbye before walking over to Puck who was waiting for her outside of the school.

"Let's go!" He called grabbing her arm.

"Whats the rush?" Nellie asked getting in the passengers seat.

"Some girls been harassing me all day. Can't blame them since I'm awesome" Puck grinned.

Nellie rolled her eyes at her brothers cockiness.

"Just drive you idiot"

                          *******
Nellie was in her pajamas completing her homework. Puck was with her because they could never do their homework apart. It was one of those weird sibling things

"Nellie, help me with this problem" Puck demanded holding the math paper in front of her face. Nellie rolled her eyes and looked over the question.

"You know, you should be the one helping me with the problems" Nellie snapped. Puck shrugged and looked over his little sisters shoulder.

"Ah, you just have to multiply this and divide that. Just make sure it looks good. Your handwriting isn't the best" Noah smiled and ruffled her hair. You may have thought Noah treats her sister like garbage, but no.He actually loves and protects her.

"Thanks Nel,now I have a chance to pass this math quiz next week" Nellie smiled and went back to her own homework.

After Nellie finished her homework, it was about 10 at night. Puck was snoring in his own room. Nellie smiled and got into her own bed slowly drifting off to sleep.
*******
Nellie woke up to Puck running around the room.

"Have you seen my jacket?" He asked worriedly.

Nellie yawned and rolled out of bed.

"I don't know.Check the washer" She responded walking to her closet.

"Right! Thanks Nel!" He said running off. Nellie looked through her closet and picked out her Cheerios uniform. It was basically what she wore 24/7. It was a symbol that she was a proud member of this team.

She grabbed her converse and walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Nellie! Make sure not to use the hot water again!" Her mother called out. Nellie wasn't the biggest fan of her mother. She was hardly there for Puck of for Nellie.

She had never showed up to any of her cheer competitions for any of pucks football games. It kinda hurt Puck, but he covered it up by being his tough self. Nellie took her quick shower,and got dressed.

"Hey,I left some cereal for you" Puck mentioned walking to his room. Nellie smiled and poured herself a bowl of cereal. She really didn't have much time to eat, since she had to be at school early for cheer practice.

Noah had came out of the room, and he walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Nellie finished her last bit of cereal and walked behind Puck.

"Pass me my brush" She demanded. Puck handed her the brush while checking himself out in the mirror.

"You think Santana will wanna go out with me if I look like this?" Puck asked. Nellie shrugged.

"You look fine" She said patting his shoulder. She grabbed her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth, making sure they looked white as they always have.

Once she was done she grabbed her bag from which she packed last night.

"Bye mom!" Nellie called out.She ignored them and Puck frowned.

"Well screw you then" Nellie muttered walking out of the house.

"It's fine Puck.Who needs her anyways?" Nellie said trying to cheer him up.

"Yeah,I guess you're right"

                         *******
Nellie stood in the middle of the hallway staring at the glee club audition papers. It would be fun to try something new for a change, but what would her friends say?

"Oh hello, I noticed you staring at the glee club audition papers. Are you thinking about trying out?" Nellie was caught off guard when she heard Rachel Berrys voice. She was probably the most annoying girl at school.

"Oh,I don't think so.I don't sing" Nellie responded.

"Well,that's too bad.I thought there might have been someone as good as me. But I guess I'm just the star" Rachel walked off with a smile.

"What the-"

Nellie sighed and walked over to the gym.
Once she got there she heard her best friend Quinn.

"Nellie! Over here!" Quinn Fabray was calling the girl over, and Nellie walked over.

"Whats up?" She greeted.

"Look what Rachel Berry posted last night"

Nellie looked over her shoulder to see that Rachel Berry posted a new video on her MySpace account. She was singing On my Own.

"Oh my god" Nellie said laughing.

She sat down next to Santana as Quinn posted some very hurtful comments on her page.

Please get sterilized
If I were your parents I would sell you back

Nellies smile faded, realizing these comments were kinda mean.

"Ok,maybe we should stop" Quinn sighed and closed the laptop. Santana grinned.

"So,has Puck been talking about me lately?" She asked. Nellie shrugged.

"You'll have to see for yourself" Santana's cheeks heated up and she looked down.

After their practice, Nellie was left alone in the gym with her thoughts. She saw a boom box on a table and she walked over and turned it on.

Ciaras song "One two step" was being played. Nellie slowly started getting the beat and danced and sung all around the gym. She knew the entire choreography by heart, so it was pretty easy for her.

[Nellie Preforms 1,2 Step by Ciara and Missy Elliot]

Little did she know that Mr.Shue was watching the whole time.

                          *******

"Mr.Shue you know I would never-"

"I'm not looking for excuses, Nellie" Nellie Puckerman and Finn Hudson sat in Mr.Shue's office.

"You wanna tell me how long you had a drug problem?" Mr.Shue asked.

Nellie couldn't believe she was being accused of doing drugs.

"What even is the chronic lady? I'm telling you,that's not mine!" Nellie exclaimed getting fed up with being accused of something she didn't do.

"Yeah!" Finn said agreeing with Nellie.

"Look,if it were up to me we wouldn't have mandatory biweekly afternoon locker checks." Mr.Shue mentioned.

"Look,it's not mine! I'll pee in a cup! I'll pee" Nellie gave Finn a disgusted look before turning to Mr.Shue.

"I'll take a test too! Please don't tell Figgins! I'll be kicked off the Cheerios and suspended and I-"

"Calm down Nellie. It won't make any difference. Possession eight-tenths of the law. I'm pretty sure that much pot, is a felony. Yeah. Look, you'll get kicked out of school,You'll lose your cheer and his football scholarship"

"Wait, we had scholarships?" Nellie asked.

"You two could land in prison" Mr.Shue said ignoring Nellies question. The girl started hyperventilating.

"I can't go to jail....my mom will kill me....who's gonna be here to tell Puck to jump off a cliff....oh god" Finn was rubbing her back trying to calm her down.

"Please don't tell my mom!" Finn begged.

"Look,I see a lot of myself in you, Finn.And Nellie, you're destined for great things as well. I know what it's like to struggle to make good life choices, and I don't want you to throw away everything you have to offer the world. I just expected more out of you two"

"Oh god" Nellie sighed running her fingers through her hair. Finn was still rubbing her back. Nellie was used to being told that. See,when Nellie was 7, her father left her family. Puck was destroyed, and so was their mom.

So Puck became the man of the house. Taking care of everything and everyone, and Nellie made sure he was doing it all right. But their mother found any excuse to critique them and make them feel bad.

"I expected better,Nellie"

"You're doing it all wrong!"

"You're just like your father"

"There are two options here. I'm running detention now, so you can do six weeks after school, but that's gonna remain on your permanent record." Mr.Shue informed.

"W-Whats the other option?" Nellie asked.

"You've got to be kidding me" Nellie muttered standing in front of the auditorium only a few minutes later.

"Hey,this is what we have to do to stay out of trouble" Finn said. Nellie sighed.

"Puck is gonna make fun of me until I'm old age" She commented as she walked inside.

Everyone turned to stare at her.

"W-What a-are t-they doing here?" Some girl asked.

"Guys,let's welcome the newest members to glee club, Nellie Puckerman and Finn Hudson!" No one clapped for them.

"Let's just get this over with" Nellie said taking the paper from Mr.Shue.You're the one that I want from Grease. It wasn't a bad song,just not Nellies type of music.

"Ok, why don't we have Rachel and Finn sing the leads" Nellie sighed of relief. At least she wasn't first. She walked next to Mercedes and stared down at her paper. She never really talked to her,but she seems kinda cool.

Once Finn was done with his solo, Rachel went crazy. First, she got out of her spot by moving towards Finn, then she put her dirty sweaty hand on Kurts face clearly making him uncomfortable.

Then, she shoved Tina back and wheeled Artie towards Mr.Shue. Finally she shoved Nellie back causing her to fall on the floor. Mercedes helped her up. Finn was super uncomfortable just by his face expression.

"Oh hell no! Look,I'm not down with his background singing nonsense. I'm BeyoncΓ©. I ain't no Kelly Rowland" Nellie couldn't help but smile at the musical reference.

"Ok look Mercedes, it's just one song" Mr.Shue argued.

"And it's the first time we've been kind of good." Kurt added.

Nellie walked over next to Finn.

"Ok, you're good white boy. I'll give you that.But you better bring it. Lets run it again" Mercedes said.

"All right! From the top!"

                          *******
"You didn't tell me you could sing like that" Nellie said to Finn.

"I don't know.Just didn't feel the need to bring it up" Finn responded. Nellie shrugged.

"Was this a one time thing? I don't know if I wanna go back if Rachel is there"

Finn shrugged."I don't know.Glee sounds cool, it's just the hate I'll get from the guys, you know?"

"Yeah.See you around Hudson"

                          *******
"Where the hell were you on Saturday?" Puck asked as Nellie walked onto the football field.

"W-Well I was out" Nellie lied.

"You're lying" Puck said. Nellie rolled her eyes.

"No I'm not"

"Yes you are. Your hand twitches when you lie. So, where were you?"

"Promise you won't tell the girls?" Nellie begged.Puck nodded.

"I was at glee club"

"Glee club?" Puck exclaimed.
Nellie shushed him.

"Keep it down!" She hissed.

"Why the hell did you sign up for glee club? Are you trying to become a loser?"

"No, it was either that or six weeks detention" Nellie explained.

"NELLIE! GET ON THE FIELD BEFORE I MAKE YOU RUN FIVE LAPS AROUND THE SCHOOL!" Sue yelled over her megaphone.

"Gotta go" Nellie said walking away.

                         *******
So apparently Mr.Shue got the glee club kids tickets to see vocal adrenaline preform. Nellie wasn't going to go at first, before Rachel told her it was mandatory.

So she stood next to Kurt on line.

"I like your shoes" He said pointing down to her boots.

"Oh, thank you.Your Mark Jacobs collection was iconic. I wish I could afford something like it"

Kurt looked at her. "You can borrow it if you want.Blue would look good on you" Nellie smiled.

"Really?" She asked

"Yeah, you're not like the rest of the bullies here. You're different" He then smiled. Nellie just made a new friend that wasn't on the football team or the Cheerios.

Nellie was up next and she got herself some twizzlers and Kurt got himself some water.

I had to sit next to Tina and Artie.

"Hey, guys, so this is supposed to be our competition, but uh, I honestly don't think they've got the talent that we've got. But let's be a good audience, all right? Give 'em some of that old McKinley High respect." Mr.Shue said causing Nellie to yawn and rest her head on her hand.

[Rehab-Vocal Adrenaline]

By the end of the performance Nellie was about to fall asleep when Rachel kicked her foot signaling her to wake up.Nellie glared at her."We're d-d-doomed" Tina stammered.

"Good.So we all can agree we suck. Bye!" Nellie said grabbing her stuff standing up. Finn walked out with her.

"Jesus they were good" Finn said.

"To be honest I wasn't even paying attention" Nellie grinned.

They kept walking until Nellie heard her brothers voice.

"Chicks don't have prostates" He said. Nellie turned around to see Puck and the rest of the football jocks.

"I looked it up.Nellie, I could honestly care less you're here. But you broke the rules Finn! And for that you must be punished"

Puck pushed Nellie back as they backed Finn up into the wall."Guys,is this all necessary?" She asked.

"Yes" All the football guys said at the same time.

"Y-You don't have to do this" Finn said. Nellie gasped as they all hit Finn with paintballs.

"Come on Nellie,we're going home" Puck said grabbing her wrist.

Back at home, Quinn called her.

"Please don't tell me it's true you joined Glee Club"

"What? How the hell did you find out?"

"Mike told Santana that he saw you in the auditorium.I didn't think it was true at first"

"Look let me-"

"Seriously Nellie? Do you know what this can do to your reputation? You'll be known as the school loser! Quit glee club"

"I was gonna quit anyways.We kinda suck anyways"

"Good.Talk to you tomorrow."

                          *******
Nellie sat in the auditorium next to Artie when Mr.Shue told the kids he was quitting.

"You're leaving us?" Artie asked clearly hurt.

"Well I've been given my two weeks notice. But I promise I am going to find a great replacement for you guys" Mr.Shue said.

"Is this because the Carmel kids were so good? Because we can work harder" Mercedes said. It kind of hurt Nellie how dedicated the glee kids were.

"This isn't fair, Mr.Schuester. We can't do this without you" Rachel commented.

"So does that mean me and Finn can drop out? Not to sound rude but, I got cheer in ten minutes" Nellie chimed. Everyone Except Finn turned to glare at her.

"Being an adult is about having to make difficult choices. It's not like high school. Sometimes you have to give up the things you love. One day you guys are gonna grow up and understand that. I have loved being your teacher." And with that he walked off.

After practice Nellie met up with Quinn and Santana."Mr.Shue dropped out so there's really no reason for me to be in the club anymore." She explained as they walked down the hall towards Finn.

"Hi Finn, Rupal" Nellie let out a snort at the comment.

"What are you doing talking to her?" Quinn asked.

"Oh....-"

"Science project-we're partners" Rachel
