Plot
The chapter opens in Algebra class with Charlie trying to determine when the bell is going to ring. Detasting anything to do with maths, Charlie counts down, before the bell prematurely goes off.

The students begin to pack up their things when their teacher, Mrs Spitler, announces there is a test. Behind Charlie, two girls exchange hurtful comments about her.

Donna and Jenna went to the same middle school as Charlie and are known for their money and bitchiness. Donna's father own half the fast food outlets in Lima, while Jenna's parents own Breadstix.It is revealed that Donna's father puts a lot of pressure on her to be perfect and get good grades. This is why she takes out her frustration on other students.

After exitting the classroom, the two blondes shove into Charlie purposely, causing her to drop her books. Jenna passes an unrelated comment about her brother, before they move on. Blaine, who witnesses this, goes over and helps Charlie pick up her books again. He reminds her that it was bullying that caused Kurt to transfer schools last year. Charlie tells him that she'll sort it and not to tell Finn or Kurt.

Santana arrives and tells Blaine to leave. Santana, again, tries to get Charlie to join the Cheerios. Charlie, in a grouchy mood from the incident, is short with Santana. Santana tells Charlie that there is one freshman spot open on the Cheerio's each year and with her pull as captain, Santana can get Charlie the spot.

Santana tells her how she'd be a great cheerio and hot in a uniform, and having boys falling at your feet. She also tells her that she'll stop asking her when hell freezes over. Charlie ultimately accepts and goes to class. But, she only accepts so that she can rub it in Jenna and Donna's faces later.
