It was an hour later, 5:40. Rehearsal was over.
"Ok I'll need to talk to you about your music choices for the CDs. Puck and Mike you're up first," Mr Schue told us.
They stepped up on the stage.
"Hey wanna go take a walk?" Rachel asked me.
"Ok," I said.
She, Chris and I walked up the slanted floor of the auditorium, out the door and into the hallway.
"Wow long rehearsal," Amber said.
"Yeah," Chris said.
I threw my head back and started singing 'House Of The Rising Sun' as Chris walked to the front doors.
"Omygod," Amber said when I was done; "you are amazing. You belted it girl."
"Yeah you should definately get the role of Mimi. You can sing and you're a great dancer," Rachel told me.
I smiled: "yeah I know. and thank you."
"And since Rachel looks so much like Idina she could play Maureen," AMber said.
"Right and you would play...?"
"Hey let's not stereotype me as Joann here," Amber told her.
Behind the door Chris was watching the softly falling snow, singing to himself. I head 'one less bell to answer'.
Amber walked over to him.
"You alrite?" she asked.
They started talking as Rachel and I walked down the hall away from them. I had a feeling it was a private conversation. I pinned her against the wall and kissed her. Her eyes widened.
