It was new year at Easton Highschool and Soundcheck, the glee club, at the school was basking in the joy for winning the Show Choir National Championship for the fifth time in a row. They were the best show choir in the U.S. probably the entire North America. But this year was different, all the seniors graduated and that means over half the members left. They weren't going to have a problem getting members, it's the big shoes that the new members was going to fill. In the past three years, they have had the same members. But this year, they have to start all over.
Our Moment
Britain Byrd pulled up into the parking lot of Easton High in his new red 2014 Dodge Charger he got for his birthday. This was a new year for him and new year to shine as the lead in Soundcheck. He has waited for this moment since his freshman year since he first joined Soundcheck and now he was in his junior year. He was voted the lead from the seniors that just recently graduated. He felt for some reason that this year was going to be different from the rest probably because of the new members they were going to have to recruit to qualify for competition.
Britain walked into the building and look at his schedule for his classes this year. He groaned at the fact that he have to take all AP classes but as the mayor's son in all small town like this, which he less than 4,000 people in it, so he was held in a higher standard of behavior and grades than most kids. In a small town like this mostly everybody knew everybody unless the person doesn't make themselves noticeable but that's kinda hard to do since there's like one highschool in this town.
After 4 agonizing periods of the same thing of teachers introducing themselves and going over rules and class work, it was time for lunch. During lunch, Britain usually go the choir room or the auditorium depending on his mood that day. He was in a good mood today, so he went to the choir room. He expected some people to be in there but the room was empty. He sat at the piano and played a song that popped in his head at the moment.
I feel so numb
Staring at the shower wall
It's begun,
The feeling that the end has come
And now the water's cold
I tried to eat today
But the lump in my throat got in the way
In this time I've lost all sense of pride
I've called a hundred times
If I hear your voice I'll be fine
As Britain was singing the song, he was starting to think of his mother, who had passed away a few years back. He also didn't notice a person standing who was standing at the door listening to him.
And I, I can't come alive
I want the room to take me under
'Cause I can't help but wonder
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off, I can't sleep
These four walls and me
I lay in bed
Can't seem to leave your side
Your pillow's wet
From all these tears I've cried
I won't say goodbye
As he sang the verse, a tear came down from his left eye but he just let it fall.
I tried to smile today
Then I realized there's no point anyway
In this time I've lost all sense of pride
I've called a thousand times
If I hear your voice I'll be fine
And I, I can't come alive
I want the room to take me under
'Cause I can't help but wonder
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off I can't sleep
These four walls and me
Oh oh oh
And I, I can't come alive
I want the room to take me under
'Cause I can't help but wonder
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off I can't sleep
These four walls and me
Once he finished the song, a clap came from the door. He quickly turned around and saw that it was his glee club director, Emily.
"Amazing as always, Britain", Emily said to him.
"Thanks", Britain said to her.
"Are you ready to win another championship this year", Emily asked as she walked to where Britain was sitting at the piano.
"Yes, but that's going to be hard with the new recruits", Britain said to her.
"Why? You're the lead", Emily said.
"But they don't know that and they might want the solos. Plus someone who's better than me might come along and take the position", Britain said.
"If that happens then whole club will decide who deserves the spot and the returners know that you deserve the spot", Emily said to Britain.
"You're right-", Britain began but was interrupted by the bell signaling the end of lunch.
"I'll see you at rehearsals", Britain said picking up his bookbag and leaving to go to his next class.
Emily sat at the piano by herself after Britain left. She knew she had winning team but for some reason this year feels different. But she's willing to do whatever it takes to win Nationals for a record breaking sixth time in a row. She got up for the piano and went to her office, which is located close the choir room. She got the sign-up sheet for the new year. She went out to the bulletin board and place the sign-up sheet up. She expected by the end of the day the whole sheet would be filled.
So there's the prologue to this story. Did you guys like it or hate it? What do you guys think of Britain and Emily, who is the glee club director not a student? Please point out any mistake. I'm also looking for a beta, so if you're interested tell me. The form is on profile and it must be sent in through PM not review. I'm also for either a twin or younger sibling for Britain, if you want to make the character go ahead. The celebrity-look-a-like for Britain is Al Calderon and his sing-a-like is Adrian Marcel. Emily's celebrity-look-like is Jessica Alba. Leave a review, if you're interested. Remembers this is set in Jamestown, North Carolina NOT Lima, Ohio.
6/21/14- I will also need a group number for the next chapter.
