FIVE

The old glee club came back and Izzy was excited, to say the least. She could finally see Quinn, she had been dying to tell her everything. They were all going to Breadstix and she decided to come along as they all loved her. How couldn't they?

"Guys!" Isabelle shouted, running to the table filled with her friends.

"Izzy!" Quinn shouted. "You are so late!"

"Sorry," she said, taking a seat next to Santana and Quinn.

"You're a Cheerio now," Santana said, smirking.

"Yeah, and I'm not in glee anymore. Big deal," she shrugged.

"Wait, what?" Mike asked, looking to Finn for answers.

"You didn't tell them?" she asked, looking at Finn.

"I may have forgotten," he said with a guilty smile. "Almost all of them kicked her out," he said.

Santana turned to Izzy and whispered: "Did Britt do that?"

Izzy shook her head. Brittany was probably one of her only friends she had left at McKinley.

"Don't worry about it, we'll get them to take you back," Puck said.

"That's the thing, they kicked me out because of that asshole Sebastian. And now they actually want me back," she sighed as Quinn patted her back. "Everything's so screwed up."

"And I've done some pretty bad things," she said guiltily.

"We've all done bad things," Santana replied, rubbing her shoulder. "Puck got his best friend's girlfriend pregnant, Berry sent that short Filipino girl to a crackhouse, and who can forget when Finn prayed to a grilled cheese to be quarterback, resulting in Trouty Mouth's arm being—"

"I think that's enough," Finn cut in, looking embarrassed.

Izzy laughed. Santana always managed to make her smile, no matter the occasion. Even when it felt like everything was against her, Santana's insult strangely brought a smile to her face.

"Have you heard from Rachel or Kurt?" She asked.

"I know Blaine's been texting him, but he hasn't texted back," Mike said.

"Rachel texted me and said she couldn't make it," Izzy said. "She also gave me some context of what happened. I'm really sorry, Finn."

"It's for the best," he said, smiling sadly.

Quinn was looking at her weirdly. Needless to say, Quinn wasn't the biggest fan of her new look. But she did feel for Izzy, Quinn also went through that phase when she dyed her hair pink and got a tramp stamp of Ryan Seacrest.

"Quinn, I really need to talk to you," Izzy whispered to her.

"Yeah, you really do," Quinn whispered in response. "But for now, just enjoy yourself. I'll talk to you soon."

*******

"You went out with Izzy?" Ryder asked Sam, walking up to him.

They did. As friends. Izzy didn't really care for relationships after her last one got her heart broken. Apparently, Izzy was just a beard and nothing more to Sebastian.

"You got a problem with that?" Sam asked him defensively.

"Look, I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but she doesn't care about that many people. She only cares about the old glee. She'll just break your heart. Then she'll apologise and the cycle starts again," he said. "And besides, I asked her first."

"Is that really what you think about me?" Izzy said, sounding hurt.

Stunned that she heard all of that, he wanted to choke an apology out, but couldn't. She glared at both of them. "Forget the record, I'm not just a prize to be won. It's not first come, first serve. And I'm not dating Sam, we went out as friends. As for you, I don't think I ever will go out with you."
