Exclusive extract from Glee: The Beginning + Glee goodie bag giveaway

 Escape In A Book is proud to present to you the very first extract from Glee: The Beginning by Sophia Lowell, enjoy:

Principal Figgins’s office, Monday morning

Rachel Berry paused outside the door to Principal Figgins’s office just long enough to straighten her kneesocks and smooth down the sides of her corduroy skirt. Her bright white button-down and pink-and-green argyle sweater-vest seemed to scream overachiever – not that Principal Figgins needed to be reminded that Rachel Berry was special. McKinley High wasn’t the kind of high school where students wanted to stand out. And Rachel stood out. ‘Good morning, Mrs Goodrich.’ Rachel smiled her 1,000-watt smile at the dour-faced secretary in the outer office. Mrs Goodrich always smelled like cookie dough, and for some reason she was always scowling at Rachel, which seemed unfair. She should be happy to see someone who was not a juvenile delinquent enter the principal’s office.

‘Is Principal Figgins in?’

‘Do you have an appointment, Rachel?’ Mrs Goodrich’s beady eyes stared down at Rachel over the tops of her tiny bifocals.

‘No, but Principal Figgins told me he is always glad to see me.’

Rachel breezed past Mrs Goodrich’s desk, feeling a faint craving for cookies. As her penny loafers padded quietly across the worn industrial carpet and through the open door of the principal’s inner office, she couldn’t help thinking it was kind of sad when a principal couldn’t even get hardwood floors. But Rachel wouldn’t let the sadness of Principal Figgins’s existence bring her down – not today. Maybe he was stuck in a crappy office in crappy Lima, Ohio, but Rachel Berry wasn’t going to be here forever. Not if she had anything to say about it.
