Preface
They'd flown in from all over the states, even from around the globe to get here. The former members of Dalton Academy Warblers and New Directions had been summoned together to make amends for this rivalry that had gone on for long enough. He knew this. He knew this because he'd a college roommate who was in the team. They'd been through high-school at Dalton and both auditioned for the Warblers, he hadn't gotten in. The other had.
So when they'd been together he'd ignored his anger, how dare that guy say no to him? He could sing, his family had told him so. But this guy, he'd said no, denied him access to one of the best choirs in the country. The Warblers.
"Hey look, Warbler and New Directions Reunion at Dalton," his roommate said opening and reading the letter. "It's be good to see the guys again."
The second 'Dalton' and 'Warblers' were mentioned he was listening. "I guess, mind if I tag along, I'd love to stop by and see Coach again, see what recruits he's got."
"Sounds great man, come on, I'll book you a ticket," his roommate smiled. So they flew to Westerville for the reunion, signed in and went their separate ways.
Daniel saw some old choir friends and went with them. He went in search, not for the coach, no, he actually liked that man, no, he searched for his old History teacher. He despised the subject and found the teacher had always been hard on him, but gone soft on he that said 'no.' As he knocked, smiling that word echoed through his head until he couldn't take it anymore.
