It was a new week for glee club and Nellie was happy there. She made some friends, especially Kurt and Artie even took her on a ride on his wheelchair.

"Good morning Nellie!" Mr.Shue called out. Nellie was walking near puck with her heavy backpack over her shoulders.

"Here let me help sis" Puck took her bag and swung it over his shoulder.

"Morning Kurt!" Mr.Shue called out.

"Buenos Nachos Mr.Shue" Nellie gave her brother a confused look before turning towards Kurt who had handed his bag over to her.

"Like I said before, one day you will all work for me" Kurt stated before he was thrown into the trash. Nellie quickly helped him out when no one was looking.

"Thanks Nellie" He breathed, dusting himself off.

"It's ok." When Nellie got inside the building and to her locker, she was pulled to the side by puck.

"Do you know what's happening right now?" He whispered. Nellie shook her head. "Everyone thinks your a loser now! And you know what that makes me? The brother to a loser"

"Stop calling me a loser" Nellie hissed back.

"Sorry. Quinn already talked to Finn and we think you should both quit. It's for the best"

"For the best" Nellie mocked."Finn told me you tried to beat up Artie.You're lucky I don't slap you right now! Maybe you should try out"

"The hell are you staring at?" Nellie snapped, Rachel flinching back rather harshly.

"Hello Nellie,didn't see you there." She greeted awkwardly.

"Hey. Don't stare at me when I'm talking to someone else. It's weird and rude. Got that?" She demanded. Rachel nodded and Nellie walked off linking arms with Quinn. A few moments later Rachel got slusheed by Puck and his moron friends.

"Come on Nellie.." Quinn sighed, pulling her away.

"I have glee club today. So I can't hang out. Maybe tomorrow" Nellie mentioned. Quinn scoffed.

"This glee is taking up your whole schedule."

"I know, I know, I heard you and Finn arguing about it. I promise, I'll try and make time" Nellie promised, rubbing Quinn's arm gently.

Quinn nodded. "You better. We're watching grease this Saturday!"

                      ***********

The glee club were preforming a song while doing choreography.The only problem was hardly anyone was taking it seriously except for Nellie and Rachel.Both of them had dancing experience,Nellie because she's on the cheer team and Rachel because she's been in so many theatre competitions.

"Energy guys! Come on it's disco!" Nellie moved around, trying to help Finn with the moves."Good work the hands.John Travolta hands.All right.Freak it out let's go!"

Brad the pianist stopped when Rachel almost kicked Mercedes in the face."Woah woah woah.First of all,you try to bust my face again,and I will cut you" Mercedes threatened.Nellie adjudged her skirt,making sure she wasn't showing so much skin.

"Also,this song sucks" Nellie said."Okay,no,no,it's not the song.You guys just need to get into it." Mr.Shue reassured."No,it's the song.It's really gay" Kurt said.Nellie crossed her arms over her chest and turned to look at Kurt.

It was painfully obvious Kurt was gay,Nellie just didn't find it respectful to confront him about it."We need modern music Mr.Shue" Artie said."I'm sorry guys! We're doing this song ok this Friday at the pep assembly." Mr.Shue said.

"In f-front of the whole school?" Tina asked."Exactly" Mr.Shue confirmed."They're gonna throw fruit at us! And I just had a facial"

"Facials are important" Nellie said resting her arm on Kurts shoulder."I'll press charges if that happens"

"I can't express to you how important this assembly is.We need recruits.There's six of you.We need twelve to qualify for regionals.We have no choice or...the club is over" Nellie sighed.She had a mixed relationship with glee club.She loved it,the feeling of singing and dancing with everyone made her feel happy.

But at the same time,her friends hated the fact she was blowing them off for glee club,especially Quinn.And her brother wasn't to fond of the idea of being home alone with mom.

"Look I know you guys don't like the song,but we took nationals back in '93 with "Freak Out".It's a crowd pleaser.Trust me"

"I'm off the Cheerios.Once they see me preform that song coach will have no hesitation kicking me off the Cheerios.And pucks gonna make fun of me forever" Nellie grabbed her bag and stormed out.

"Hey,uh,Nellie?" She turned around to see Kurt tapping her shoulder".What's up Kurt?" He was one of the most tolerable ones in the club.Next was Artie and Mercedes.It kinda annoyed Nellie that Tina stuttered,despite the fact it really wasn't something she could control.

"I-I just wanted to thank you again for protecting me all this time.You make me feel safe,and I would like for a friendship to start between us" Nellie smiled."I wouldn't mind that.How about the Lima bean right now?" Kurt smirked and nodded.

At the Lima Bean,Nellie ordered a frappe and Kurt ordered the same."Kurt,I really am sorry for the way the football jerks treat you.I try to get them to stop,but they don't listen"

"Nellie,it's fine.I'm used to being bullied"Nellie frowned."I'll walk with you into the building for now on.That way no one can mess with you" Kurt nodded."Thanks Nel"

The next day

"Here Nellie.It matches with your uniform" Kurt and Nellie were walking into the school when the boy stopped her to give her a jacket.

"Keep it.My way of saying thanks" Nellies eyes widened."Kurt,I can't.You're a really good friend,but I don't like donations" Nellie said sincerely.

"Tell me this wouldn't look awesome on you" Nellie slipped on the jacket and twirled around."Thank you so much Kurt.No ones ever done this for me before" She said.

Kurt smiled and walked off.Santana walked over to Nellie."Why were you talking to him?" She asked.Nellie rolled her eyes.

"Please don't tell me we're having this conversation again" She begged."We're thinking about joining glee club" Santana said.Nellie raised her eyebrows.

"Seriously? Like,no one dared you to do this right?" Nellie asked."Quinn was worried that Finn was cheating on her with Rupal.Think of it,like spies" Nellie nodded and the bell range

"I have to get to glee club.See you" When Nellie walked inside the classroom,everyone was already there."Great! Nellies here" Finn said trying to lighten up the mood.

She gave him a hug before walking over to Kurt and Mercedes who were arguing."You need to call me before you dress yourself" He said.Nellie let out a laugh at the harsh comment.

"Whatever,Whatever" Mercedes dismissed."You look like a Technicolor zebra" Kurt said."You're a hater"

Nellie smiled again and sat down on one of the seats tying her shoe which unlaced when she ran down the halls to glee club."Hey guys" Mr.Shue greeted walking inside the classroom."How about the little Kanye?"

Nellies head shot up."For the assembly?" She asked."No,we won't be ready on time.We're still doing disco" Nellie rolled her eyes and looked down at her shoes again.Mr.Shue handed a paper to Nellie.

"But we can fold this into our repertoire,and it'll be awesome at regionals.Communication is the foundation of any successful music group.If we're going to succeed we need to communicate" Nellie gave a sarcastic thumbs up and finally got up to stand next to Finn.

She didn't even notice Rachel glaring daggers at her."Mr.Shue,we'd really like to not do disco at that assembly" Artie begged."Finn,you're going to take the solo" Mr.Shue said completely ignoring Artie.

"What? No I-I can't!" Finn said.Nellie sighed."No problem.I'll show you" Mr.Shue took off his jacket causing her to back up.

" Mercedes,you know this?" Mr.Shue asked."Oh,I know this"

[Gold Digger-New Directions]

After glee Nellie met up with Quinn and Santana."Let's head home.I need a manicure" Santana said.

Back at Quinn's house,the girls were gossiping about anything in general."I had to almost slap Rachel when she cornered me in the hall" Nellie said shuddering at the memory.

"We told you.I mean,why would Finn even like her? She's annoying" Brittany said,turning towards Quinn."Have you seen the way they look at each other? It looks like Rachel wants to shove that disgusting tongue down his throat every time she sees him" Quinn argued.

"I mean,I'm in glee.I don't see anything weird going on" Nellie spoke up.Quinn turned to her."Thats in front of everyone.How do we know that they're not making out alone"

"That's impossible.You two are together when there's no glee club" Nellie defended.Rachel wasn't the best,but they were still teammates and they had to have each other's backs.

That got Quinn to be quiet.She knew Nellie was right.The only reason she was joining was to let Rachel know that Finn was hers and only hers.It was kinda stupid honestly.Nellie liked glee club,and it wasn't to satisfy anyone but herself.

"Earth to Nellie?" Santana said.Nellie snapped out out of her gaze.

"Sorry,what were you saying?"
                           🎵🎵🎵
The next day
Nellie was walking through the halls when Finn walked next to her.Of course Rachel wasn't to far behind.

"Puck told me to help you get to class because he was in the bathroom and was scared of you getting slushee'd after you complained that your outfit was super great and-"

"Finn,shut up" Nellie said."Right" He nodded.Mr.Shue walked up to them."About the flyers,we're sorry Mr.Shue" Finn apologized."You know guys,I don't wanna hear it"

"Whatever's going on,just know I had no part of it" Nellie said."I'd like to get the flyers up before lunch tomorrow" Rachel said."Doing that song is going to kill any chance the glee club has"

"Like we had a chance in the first place" Nellie muttered.Mr.Shue glared at her."I have news for you,Rachel.Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do.We're doing the assembly,and you're not putting up those flyers.Everybody loves disco"

"Oh yeah? You,give me that" A cheerio handed her a mega phone."OK?! WHO HERE LIKES DISCO?!" Nellie called out to the students in the halls.Everyone looked at her before no one raised their hands.

"There you have it" Nellie said before walking off.She was about to walk to the bathroom when Rachel followed her.

"You don't happen to be in the celibacy club do you?" Rachel asked.Nellie scoffed."Obviously.Why,you looking to join?" She asked.

"No,M-Maybe,look,can you just have my back in there? I'm going to be eaten alive,and you a I both know that" Rachel pleaded."If you know that then why do you wanna join? Didn't even know you were into stuff like that"

"I-I wasn't,just wanted to try something new" Nellie shrugged."Whatever.I'll back you up.Don't make me regret this Rachel"

At the celibacy club
Nellie sat next to Quinn as she banged her gravel down."The Celibacy Club is now in session.Thanks to a school rule that says we have to let anyone join the club,we're welcoming a new member this weeks.Rachel Whatshername"

"Where are all the boys?" Rachel asked."Down the hall.First half hour we separate,then we come together" Nellie explained.All the girls stood up and Nellie twirled around in her skirt.

"God bless the perv that invented these" Quinn said proudly."Remember the power motto girls.It's all about the teasing but not about the pleasing" The girls recited.

Next,Nellie blew up some balloon for the immaculate affection."Let's pair up for the immaculate affection" Quinn said.Nellie yawned and walked over to some random football jock.

"Sup" She said.The guy smiled at her.Then he started touching her,which made her feel a bit uncomfortable."Stop" She said.Puck noticed her face and glared at the guy.

"Hey,touch my sister like that again and I'll cut you" He hissed.Nellie smiled at her brother and turned to look at Finn and Quinn.Their balloon popped.

"Finn!" She yelled,annoyed and embarrassed."It must have hit my zipper" Nellie scoffed.

"You know what this is a joke!" Rachel said pulling away from JBI."Did you know that most studies have demonstrated that celibacy doesn't work in high schools? Our hormones are driving us to crazy to abstain.The second we start telling ourselves that there's no room for compromise we act out.The only way to deal with teen sexuality is to be prepared.That's what contraception is for"

"Don't you dare mention the "C" word!" Quinn warned."You want to know a dirty little secret that none of them want you to know?" Rachel asked.

"Girls want sex just as much as guys do" Nellie raised her eyebrows and watched as Rachel stormed out.

"Is-Is that accurate?" JBI asked.Nellie glared at him."No you stupid roach!" She yelled storming out as well.

The next day
Nellie rested her head on Kurt's shoulder in the gym as Rachel gathered everyone for a glee club meeting."I officially call this Glee Club meeting in session" Rachel said."But Mr.Shue isn't here" Nellie said.

"Mr.Shue isn't coming.I paid a freshman to ask him for help with irregular verbs"

"I'm so sick of hearing you squawk,Eva Peron" Mercedes groaned."Let her talk" Finn defended."I have another idea for the assembly"

"But Mr.Shue said-"

"Shut up Nellie!" Rachel sharply said.Nellie scoffed and rolled her eyes."Don't test me Rachel,I will go all Puckerman on your ass"

"Can I,once again,stress my most strenuous objections to this attempted suicide?" Artie asked."They're not going to kill us.Because we're going to give them what they want"

"Blood?"

"Better.Sex" Rachel said."Ok,ew" Nellie said."Yeah,I don't feel comfortable with this" Finn said."Come on guys! Don't you wanna earn the glee club points? And aren't you used to having sex?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Nellie snapped."Ok ok,moving on"

"You think Puck is gonna like me going on stage having sex?" Nellie asked."Yeah,I don't wanna get in trouble for letting this slide" Finn said.

"Please" Rachel begged.

"Fine"

At the gym
Nellie was in her costume standing next to Finn."There's puck.Oh god I don't think I can do this" Finn grabbed my shoulders reassuringly."We can do this.Come on,we're about to go on stage"

As Mr.Shue shared his speech it was time for them to perform.

[Push it-New Directions]

Long story short,glee club got in trouble,Puck yelled at Nellie for a good ten minutes at how all the football jocks were sexualizing her,and sue called Nellie into her office.

"Nellie Puckerman,I have never seen a more disgusting performance in my life.I never expected this from you,therefore,your tanning privileges are revoked and you're banned from wearing the uniform for the  Cheerios until further notice"

"No! Please no! I enjoy being on the team and-"

"Figgins said this was the most appropriate response to your behavior.Get out of my office!"

Nellie stormed out to see Rachel leaning against the walls."Nellie I heard-"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Nellie screamed.She walked over to puck and started sobbing on his shoulder.

"Hey,hey shhh,it's ok"

Nellie was never going to forgive Rachel for this.
