Mercedes Jones walked down the hallway on the first day after the summer holidays, Sam had moved 2 weeks earlier so they had broken up. The only person who had known about their relationship was Kurt, as he had spent time with them over the summer. She walked up to the locker and started to organise her books, until she saw a group of jocks coming towards her, they didn't have slushies but they shoved her into her locker so it's contents spilled out. She sat there for a minute, stunned, before starting to pick up the papers surrounding her on the floor. "Areyoualright?" A voice with a heavy Irish accent came from beside her, "let me help you", a boy with amazing blue eyes and dark brown hair leaned down and helped her up. "Um, thanks, I…I'm Mercedes" she took the papers from the boy and smiled as she placed them back into her locker. "Damian, Damian Mcginty. Looks like we're locker neighbours", Yeah, thanks again for helping me" she grinned at the Irishman, Who smiled back. "Why did those boys push you, you didn't do anything wrong?" he tilted his head with a confused look. "Oh, they do that because I'm in glee club, they do it to us all the time but it's gotten less frequent after we got to nationals before summer, but we only came 12th", "This school has a glee club?, I might join, it sounds like fun, and if you got to nationals you must be good". Mercedes smile faltered slightly, "Why would you want to join glee, you'd get picked on just like the rest of us", she gave him a concerned look, she'd seen what happened to kids when they joined glee club. "Well, I love to sing, And your in it, which could be fun seeing as you're the only person who's been remotely nice to me…..", "Okay, I see your point, one of the reasons I stay in the club is cos' it's the only place where I'm accepted around here". "When can I audition?" Damian smiled at the girl, "Right now, I have glee club first period!"

Damian and Mercedes walked into the choir room receiving a confused look from Kurt and Rachel, who where sitting in the front row waiting for their boyfriends.

was standing by the piano when the new student walked in, his arm linked onto Mercedes', ", We have an auditionee!" Mercedes exclaimed, "Hello, I'm Damian Mcginty" The boy stuck out his hand and the teacher shook it, "Hello Damian, we'll just wait for the rest of the club and then you can audition, Okay?" "Yeah, that's fine, I'll just go sit with Mercedes until they arrive". Mercedes showed Damian to a seat with her, Rachel and Kurt, "Hey, I'm Kurt Hummel, Mckinley's fashionista and only male diva, and this is Rach…." "Kurt! I can introduce myself; I am the amazingly talented Rachel Berry, the lead vocalist of the new directions". "Lead vocalist my butt" Mercedes muttered under her breath, only Damian heard her. Just then, a short curly haired boy and a tall boy walked in and came to sit with them. "Hi, I'm Blaine, Kurt's boyfriend, it's my first day too!", "And I'm Finn, I apologise if my girlfriend has said anything to offend you in any way, she does it to everyone" Finn whispered. "Okay, so we're all here, welcome back guys, I hope you had a good summer, today we have 2 new members, Blaine, You won't need to audition as we've seen you perform before, Damian the floor is yours!" "Thanks , My names Damian Mcginty, and I'll be singing "Hollywood" by Michael Buble. Damian walked up to the microphone and started singing…

Could you be a teenage idol?
Could you be a movie star?
When l turn on my TV will you smile and wave at me?
Telling Oprah who you are
So you want to be a rock star
With blue eyed bunny's in your bed
Well, remember when you're rich that you sold yourself for this
You'll be famous 'cause you're dead
So don't go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby, Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself

He winked at Mercedes, who grinned at him

I don't want to take you dancing
When you're dancing with the world
You can flash your caviar and your million dollar car
I don't need that kind of girl
But you could be that next sensation
Or will you set the latest style?
You don't need a catchy song 'cause the kids will sing along
When you shoot it with a smile
So don't go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby, Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself
So don't fly higher for your fire
Put it in your head
Baby, Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself
Keep it in your head
Hollywood is dead
Well, you can do the mighty tango
You can start your little thing
You can swing from vine to vine while the kiddies wait in line
With the money in their hands
But if you get to California
Save a piece of gold for me
If it's the only thing you save then I'll bet you'll never wave
When I watch you on TV
So don't go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby, Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself
So don't fly higher for your fire
Put it in your head
Baby, Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself
Keep on loving what is true
And the world will come to you
You can find it in yourself

Love what is true
And the world will come to you
You can find it in yourself
No, no, no, no, no
Keep it in your head
Hollywood is dead
Come, come, Hollywood is dead, babe, woo hoo
Oh, Hollywood is dead, yeah, yeah
Oh, it's dead, Hollywood is dead, baby, baby, baby
Keep on loving what is true
And the world will come to you
Hollywood is dead
Get it in your head
Hollywood is dead
Hollywood is dead
Hollywood is dead

"WOW! That was freakin' amazing dude!" Blaine shouted, causing a loud applause from the rest of the group. "What did you think?" He sat down next to Mercedes, "It was brilliant, why didn't you say you say you could sing like that!" " I didn't know if I was good or not" He smiled " Damian Mcginty, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship"
