Chapter 1: Homesick- Part 1

	After a long awaited promotion at the plant that my father worked
at, we were transferred to Ohio. Lima, Ohio to be exact. I started school
at McKinley High, where after wining Nationals, last year, they were the
talk of the Show Choir hub. Everyone could not stop talking about them. I
had to get my hands on them. Coming from a school, where we were the
Southern Region National Champions, ourselves, I was already a hardened
performer. We were molded under the direction of one Shelly Parker. She was
a hard sell at first, but after we started winning, we rocked the
school. Kids from all the grades wanted to be in Glee Club. They were
coming out of the wood works. Last year alone, we went from 12 geeky kids,
who could sing, to 45 powerhouse people, that singled out, we were good,
but together we made a wall of sound that no one could bring down. My gosh,
I miss them, but starting over is never easy, so this is where my new
journey begins.

	First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Chance Ross
Matthews. This is the first day at my new school. The show choir season had
already begun before I left. Shelly was po'ed at me. I was the star soloist
at my old school, but change is always around the bend. I bade my farewells
to my fellow "PowerHouse" team members, in what can I say was an emotional
party. As always, I did a number to express my feelings of love and loss
and there wasn't a dry eye in the classroom. My BFF, Kaylee hugged me tight
and told me that if I didn't want to go, I could stay here with her and her
parents. Her parents were cool and treated me like the son that they always
wanted and they quickly agreed to Kaylee's plan, but when I presented it to
my parents I got a not so positive reaction. So when the day came, they
were all there to see me off. So here I am, a new school, in a new town,
new teachers and no "PowerHouse".

"Chance! Time to get up! We have to get you registered for school.", my Mom
called from downstairs.

"OK, Mom." I replied

	I didn't want to get out of bed. After getting out of bed and
hopping into a quick shower, I got dressed. After looking out of my bedroom
window, at the new school I was going to be attending, I smiled and I put
on my favorite "PowerHouse" hoodie and padded downstairs to breakfast.

"Mom do you think I can get registered myself? I mean I'm 17 now and a
Senior, and we live right across the street from the school. I think I
could manage getting the process done on my own.?", I asked.

"Sure hunny." my Mom replied and she kissed my forehead. I left the house
and after crossing the street, I was there with my registration paperwork
in hand and a song in my heart.

	According to the paperwork, I need to meet Ms. Pilsbury, the
guidance counselor, to get registered. So I opened the door and walked
through the threshold, I froze. Everyone was looking at me. Here I thought
I made a fashion mistake or something. Was my fly open? I looked down and
checked. Nope. My bright blue eyes and blond hair were in check, my outfit,
even my "Power House" hoodie was presentable, then why was everyone staring
at me. Then it dawned on me.

"OK, OK, I get it. I'm the new kid, you can all go back to BAU. Oh, for the
jocks within the sound of my voice BAU stands for Business As Usual. As for
those guys, who think, just because I am new and easy target for slushying,
you can put that thought out of your minds, because where I came from, I'm
the one that does them." I yelled out. "Now can someone, please be so kind
as to show me where I can find Ms. Pilsbury's office?" I asked.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around. "You must be Chance.", the
new face said

"Yep, and you must be Mr. Schuester." I replied as I shook Mr. Shuester's
hand.

	He puts his hand on my shoulder and we walk to Ms. Pilsbury's
office. While we were walking Mr. Shue said. " I have to say that email you
sent me and video submission was very impressive. I am so excited that you
chose McKinley as your new school."

"Thank you so much. Well, I did my homework. When I found out where I was
moving to, I had to reach out." I replied and I started to blush. "Truth be
told Mr. Shue, I sent out 3 emails to the three most recommended schools
and well you and Dalton did respond, while Carmel did not." I said

No sooner as I said that, a young man walked up and extended his hand.

"Hi, I'm Blaine Anderson." He said

	Inside my head, time seemed to slow down. My brain and hormones
were screaming, "OMG he is breathtaking. The hair, the eyes, the body. Here
he is, the total package."

	I shook myself out of my starstruck trance and I shook his
hand. "Hi, Blaine, I'm Chance Matthews." I replied

"Now Chance, we have all the time in the world for introductions later, we
need to get you registered and get your new schedule before anything
else. So right this way. Ms. Pilsbury is waiting on you." Mr. Schue
said. He turns to Blaine and asked, "You're on the student coordinator
committee correct?"

"Indeed, I am Mr. Schue." Blaine answered.

"Good, I think you will be the perfect one to show young Chance here, the
ropes. We are on our way to get him registered. I think you can take it
from here Blaine." Mr Schue said.

"I think I can do that Mr. Schue." Blaine said, as he put his arm around my
broad shoulders.

"Great, I need to make a staff meeting Blaine. Take good care of our new
friend." Mr. Schue said, pointing to me.

"It will be an honor. Mr. Schue." Blaine said.

	And with that, Mr. Schue turned and walked down a different hallway
towards his meeting, leaving Blaine and I to finish the task at hand.

	As Blaine and I walked down the hallway towards Ms. Pilsbury's
office, I looked at Blaine and I daydreamed. We got to Ms. Pilsbury's
office and knocked on the door.

"Chance Matthews is here to get registered and to get his schedule
Ms. Pilsbury." Blaine said.

"Come right in boys." Ms. Pilsbury said.

We opened the door and walked into the office.

"Blaine you already know how to register new students. Please take Chance
here to the computer and get started. I need to meet Mr. Schue for the
staff meeting." Ms. Pilsbury said.

So Blaine got me registered. Because of his access he made sure and placed
me in all of his classes.

"Well, here is your schedule Chance." He said, shaking me out of my
daydream. In my daydream, I was already planning our wedding. LOL. Yes, if
you couldn't guess by now, I'm gay.

	Classes went off without a hitch. At least the teachers were
nice. I just couldn't wait for 3:30. That's when the real fun begins and I
audition for the "New Directions". As time ticked on, I couldn't help
thinking, "I hope that Blaine doesn't have a boyfriend, and if he does,
I'll just stay in the friend zone and see what plays out.

	Now I am not one to be vain, but I am considered very good looking,
back at my old school. I stand 6'1 and weight 185lbs. I have blue eyes. My
mom says, that my eyes are the color of window cleaner. My hair is blond,
in the right light, it's the color of gold. At my old school, the jocks
wanted to be me and the gay guys wanted to be with me. Also not to brag,
but I do have a little muscle from years of martial arts training.

	As the last bell rang ending classes for today, Blaine and I walked
to the Choir Room. That is where I got to take a look at the current
members of the "New Directions."

	Starting from the left of the classroom, there was Fin Hudson and
Noah Puckerman, the football jocks. Next to Noah was Rachel Berry, your
typical DIVA. Next to Rachel was Quinn Frabray and behind her was Brittney
S. Pierce and Santana Lopez, the Cheerios. In a wheelchair on the left side
of the risers was Artie Abrams. Behind him, was Mike and Tina Chang, the
smart kids, and lastly the wonder woman of blowing, Mercedes Jones. For
those that do not speak Show Choir, blowing is, belting out ballads and
sustaining the notes for the longest times. At first glance, it looked like
just a bunch of kids gathering for a meeting, so it wasn't that
special. Oh, I forgot to mention Mr. Kurt Hummel. The outspoken counter
tenor. And last and finally not least, the heart throb of the group, Blaine
Anderson. Also, in the back was Sugar Motta, the spoiled rich kid.

	As soon as Blaine and I walked through the door, Kurt was on his
feet running at top speed and flew into Blaine's arms and kissed his
neck. Well, it looks like I got my answer to my "Does Blaine have a
boyfriend?", question. As Blaine carried Kurt back to his seat, I took mine
in the back row of the room, which is my favorite spot.

	Mr. Schue comes walking out of his office and stands before us and
says, "Before we start today's lesson, we have a new student. Chance
Matthews. He comes all the way from Dallas, Texas, where he was the
founding member of the Southern Region National Champions, "Power
House". Now let's all make him feel welcome."

All the current members turned around and smiled and said welcome.

I spoke up and stood up. "Mr Schue, I know that you don't just let anyone
into the "New Directions", so I am ready for my audition."

"OK Chance, the room is yours, let's see what you got." Mr Schue replied.

	I grabbed the music out of my bag and I walked over to Brad, the
piano-man and handed it him. I thanked him for accompanying me. We treat
our piano-man very nicely where I come from and Brad smiled and took the
sheet music. The jazz band was there too, and I handed them their music as
well.

	I turned to the current members and said, "OK, I know you don't
know me from Adam, and I feel like a redheaded stepchild, that is about to
break-up a happy family, I don't want to be that, so this is for you.  I
looked over at Brad and gave him a nod and the intro to "Angels", by Robbie
Williams begins to play and I close my eyes and I sing my heart out. When
the song was finished and I opened my eyes, the entire room was on their
feet. I got the reaction I was looking for. A Standing O. Even Kurt was
clapping. Rachel comes running up to me with tears in her eyes and hugs me.

"OK, well, now that's done, I am going to step outside and get some water,
please talk amongst yourselves and I will be back in a jiffy." I
said. Holding my head up high, I turned around and strode out of the room.

From outside of the room, I could hear the conversation going on from
inside. Finn was first to speak up.

"Guys, Chance is awesome. Yes, I know that his style is different, but that
is what makes us so unique. So let's put it to a vote. All those in favor
of bringing Chance into our family saying "I", the opposed say
"Neigh". Every hand went up for "I". Looks like we are all in
agreement. Chance is in.

Even though I could hear everything that was going from inside the Choir
Room, I smiled to myself. I knew that I was going to make it.

I walked back into the room and was greeted with a 12 young people
clapping. YES!!!!!! I was in the "New Directions." I got hugs from
everyone. Even Kurt was hugging me.

"Thank you for that warm and endearing welcome." I said

"Well, after that performance, we couldn't say no. ", Mr. Schue said.

I was blushing as I said. "It was nothing special. I just sang from the
heart. "

"OK, group, now that Chance's audition is out of the way, we can get back
to the lesson. Today's lesson is about Remember. So go home and find a song
that shows the emotion of Remember." Mr. Schue said.

"Mr. Schue, I have a question, What tone do you want the song to be about?"
I asked.

"That is a very good question Chance, since you are the newest member, you
can pick the tone. Oh, by the way welcome to the "New Directions". Glee
Club dismissed. Chance, If you need help with your song choice, there is a
nice music store called Between the Sheets around the corner." Mr. Schue
said.

"Thanks Mr. Schue, I already found it. Where do you think "Angels" came
from." I answered and I turned around and left the room.

	Outside the school, it was quiet and I had some alone time, so I
thought I would explore the rest of the school. I wanted to find my
spot. While I was walking, my phone started buzzing and I looked at the
caller ID and it was my BFF, Kaylee.

"Kaylee, you sweet thing. Your ears must have been burning, because I was
thinking about you." I said into the phone.

"Chance, hey babe!", she replied. "So tell me everything. Are the kids
nice? Did you get into the "New Directions"? she asked

"Slow down there, Kaylee. I almost forget that speed talking is your
superpower.", I said. "But to answer your questions, Yes and YES!!!!!" I
exclaimed. "You should of seen my audition. I pulled of Robbie Williams. I
mean I put all my cards on the table and they ate it up. I am going to
rule. But I miss you guys a lot. The kids in the "New Directions don't
compare to the friends that I have had since grade school. Actually Kaylee,
I need a big favor to ask you and the C-Sharps. I know it's last minute,
but how would you guys like to make a trip up here?", I asked.

You see the C-Sharps is a group within "PowerHouse". The C-Sharps members
are myself, Kaylee, Susan, Travis, and Bobby. We started out as a vocal
cover band and well it led to something more. At all the concerts and
performances,we led the show. Before I left, we did a cover of Toto's
"Africa", that was to die for.

"I don't see a problem with it Chance, but that's just me. Give me 5
minutes and let me check with the rest of the group. I will call you right
back." she said and she disconnected the call.

Like always faithful Kaylee, she called back.

"OK Babe, we're all in. What do you want to do?" she asked.

"Well, we have an assignment for Glee Club and it's a tough one. The theme
of the assignment is "Remember". Now I was thinking that we could do "Think
of Me", from Phantom." I said.

"Your right Chance, it is a tough one, but I think we can pull it off. Now
there is one small itch, we can't make the trip, because since you moved,
Shelly has got us working overtime for Sectionals. So I thought of a great
way that we could do this. A virtual performance." She said.

"Dash it all. I really wish you guys could be here. I could really use a
friendly face. But a virtual performance will help. I just hope that the
"New Directions", have an open mind, like we do down there in Dallas. OK,
record your videos and I will edit them and splice them together. Oh, btw,
I need them by this Friday.", I said.

"You got. I miss my BFF.", she said

" I miss you too babe Talk to later." I said.

"See you on the flip side.", we both said and hung up.

"See you on the flip side." was our way of saying that even though we don't
get to talk as much, our paths will cross again.

After that phone call, I didn't feel so alone in this strange new
venture. With the C-Sharps help, I am sure the performance is going to be
great.

	By this time, I made it back across the street to my new home and I
walked through the door. My Mom was in the kitchen making dinner and my dad
was on the couch reading the newspaper. During dinner, I got the onslaught
of questions from my parents. "Did I make any new friends?" How my audition
went?" I told them everything. I didn't leave a detail out, except of my
new crush on one Blaine Anderson. After dinner, I excused myself and did
the dishes and took out the trash. I may come from money, but I still have
chores to do. I then went up to my room and I recorded my video portion of
the virtual performance. The other thing that I am good at besides singing,
yes, I make a wicked music video. My editing skills aren't that of
professionals, but it's damn near close. I set my email to auto receive and
I turned off my light and went to sleep.

Fast forward to Thursday

	My gosh, it has been quite a week. I am almost caught up with
everyone in class. At lest I am back to my straight "A" average. At least
the teachers are impressed that I have caught on so fast. Glee Club was
going good. I still feel like kind of an outsider. But that's just me. I
did get approached by the swim team coach. She looked at my record and saw
that I was a diver. She also said that I didn't need my sports, credit, but
if I wanted to do it, I could try out of the Dive Team, since I have an
open period. I do love diving. When I got home on Thursday after school,
all of the C-Sharp's videos were in my inbox. So I set down to work. In
between that, I did the rest of my homework and my chores. I guess I lost
track of time, because when I looked at my watch, it was nearly 3 in the
morning. I am only going to have 4 hours of sleep before school. So I
fished editing and splicing the videos and played back my work and I must
say so myself, I did a bang up job. I just hope that they like it. Well,
everything was done and I got undressed for bed and as soon as my head hit
the pillow, I was out.
