Glee School Musical: I Want It All - Hummelberry
Hello! This is the first of a collection of fics with something in common: High School Musical! Before you ask, this isn't a crossover of High School Musical and Glee. I've always thought that a lot of HSM songs could fit into some of the situations in Glee so I thought I'd have a go at writing some. They'll be a variety of characters and pairings involved, but because Klaine's my fave, there may be quite a lot of Klaine, but not just them. This first story is about Kurt and Rachel's friendship and its set in season 3. I hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I don't own glee or the song in this chapter.
It was nearing the end of the school year for the students of McKinley. Final assignments were being handed in, the last few detentions were being held. For some it was the end of school all together. For those students, important decisions about college, the future, were being made. Kurt and Rachel fell into this category. They were working extremely hard to achieve all that they wanted.
Kurt and Rachel are great friends, both aspiring for brilliant things. Both of them like to perform and often weren't afraid to show off whatever talents they had. Since the start of the school year, well, since she was a little girl, the main things on Rachel's mind were Broadway, New York City and becoming a star. When Rachel had found about NYADA, she put her heart and soul into getting into that school. It was perfect for her.
Kurt also liked performing. He had thought about applying to NYADA as well, but when he lost the lead in West Side Story, it dented his confidence. He never thought he would be talented enough to get the principle Broadway roles. However, Kurt did have a backup plan: fashion. From a young age, it was evident that Kurt Hummel had a passion for fashion. Kurt had even created some designs himself, that would fit in with the high end fashion retailers out there. He has a lot of talent. Kurt had often been told that he wasn't good enough, but that would all change today.
Kurt ran excitedly down the halls of McKinley with an envelope in his hands. When he was nearing his destination, he took a moment to compose himself.
"Rachel, Rachel, Rachel!" Kurt called out to his best friend.
"What is it Kurt, why are you so excited?" Rachel questioned with anticipation.
"The fashion school in Milan, they, they wrote back to me and offered me a scholarship! I could become a real designer!" Kurt happily explained.
"That's great Kurt, I'm so happy for you!" Rachel replied. She pulled Kurt in for a slightly uneasy hug. Her best friend noticed her awkwardness.
"Rach, are you okay? Why aren't you happy for me?" Kurt thoughtfully asked.
"If you're off in Milan becoming the next Armani, I'll never see you. I thought we were going to be in New York together? Remember?" Rachel replied.
"I'm no performer like you Rachel, I'm not good enough for NYADA. I lost the lead in West Side Story. I'm never going to be Fiyero or anything as good as that on Broadway. I think Milan is where I'll shine." Kurt explained.
"You just mentioned Fiyero, from Wicked." Rachel said. Kurt nodded. "Remember last year at Nationals when we broke into the Gershwin and we sang For Good? You were amazing. And if you don't get the part? Write your own parts! April Rhodes did that and she won Tonys!"
"I don't know…" Kurt uneasily replied.
A minute later, Rachel Berry broke into song. Kurt then joined in.

Once the song had finished, Kurt and Rachel were stood in the courtyard doing jazz hands.
"Just think about it." Rachel said to Kurt as she walked away. Kurt just stood there, slightly starstruck and confused about what just happened.
I hope you enjoyed that, I had a bit of fun writing it =) If you didn't realise, the song Kurt and Rachel sing is I Want It All from High School Musical 3. If you listen to the song, Rachel's singing Sharpay's part, Kurt's singing Ryan's part.
Another chapter will be coming soon =)
