Today wasn't any ordinary day. Today was a fresh start. I had moved to a completely different place. When I was just 7 years old I had to leave my best friend. We had kept in touch all these years, even if we did live in different countries. I had to move because my dad had got a promotion at work and it was in New York. Don't get me wrong the weather was amazing, but I missed all my friends in the UK. It was just me, my brother and my mother had died when I was 2.

I had to leave my friends in New York City to move to Lima, Ohio. Just a small town, I was used to big cities. We had lived in an apartment since living in New York, but know we were going to be living in a proper house. I hadn't lived in one of them since being in the UK. We had moved at the start of August, so we were ready fro school.

I got a call from Lydia when it was 20:30pm in the UK. I answered and she told me she was in Ohio. We met up and had coffee and we couldn't believe it had been 9 years since we were last face to face. We were now both 16. We talked all the time on Skype but never actually been face to face. I started to cry. I was actually in Ohio, drinking coffee with my best friend. This cannot be real.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lydia asked me with a smile on her face

"I - I just cannot believe I am sat here with you" I smiled back "We've been apart for 9 years. Thank god you have family in Ohio" Lydia just laughed when I said that.


September came around. My first day at a new school. The only person I knew was Lydia and her cousin Kurt, who I had met a few times since being in Ohio. Me and Lydia spent literally everyday together in the summer holidays. We were just gald to be back with each other, after 9 long years.

"Now ladies, the first week of school is your most important week ever." Kurt started to say to me and Lydia "You have to choose which clubs you want to join"

"Kurt, just shut up. I have watched American TV shows before. We do have them in the UK" Lydia said, I just laughed

"Okay, if you want to join the cheerios. You have til Thursday to audition. The routine cannot be longer than two minutes. Couch Sylvester gets bored very easily. Everything else you have until Friday morning."

"Yes, Kurt. We get it." Lydia started to say, then Kurt started to wave to somebody. "Who's that?"

"Mercedes, she wants me to go over to her. All I say is choose wisely!" As soon as Kurt had finished his sentence he went straight to Mercedes, and they headed towards two other people who were say underneath a tree.

"Shall we go sign up for some clubs then" I suggested to Lydia. She just look at me, smiled and nudged me and we started walking towards the main entrance to get out locker numbers and keys.

Luckily our lockers were next to each other. Kurt was only opposite us, so that was good. Kurt and Mercedes and convinced us both to sign up for the Glee Club, we had until Friday morning to practise a song to sing for our audition. Lydia also signed up for Tennis club, and I signed up for the Cheerios.


Lydia audition for the Glee Club on Wednesday, she sang Lithium by Nirvana. I sat with Kurt and Mercedes as I watched her sing. When she finished me and Kurt started cheering for her. When Lydia came down off the stage she was greeted by somebody before Kurt and I could. I look at Kurt who just rolled his eyes and laughed with Mercedes. I didn't get what was so funny, so I asked him.

"Well that is Finn Hudson, my dad is dating his mum. How did I guess he'd go after one of you two?" Kurt and Mercedes started giggling again.

"Okay" I didn't know what else to say. I guessed Finn was probably on the football team, he was very tall and he had the body shape of a footballer. As I saw Finn walk away from talking to Lydia he walked towards two other people, one was a guy with a mohawk and the other was a girl who was wearing a knee-length skirt and socks that almost came up to her knees. Kurt notices me looking in that direction and nudged me. I started to laugh. Then I asked who they were.

"The girl is Rachel Berry she is a good singer and all, but she is just full of herself. The guy is Noah Puckerman, he's on the football team with Finn. Everybody calls him Puck, except Rachel" Mercedes laughed, which made Kurt laugh with her. Lydia came up to us and just looked at us as if we were mental. "You were amazing Lydia" Kurt said "I think Finn liked more than just your singing" he started to laugh again

"Shut it Kurt, he seemed really nice" Lydia said while looking in his direction.

"Yeah, he would do. Oh, and by the way, he might be my step brother one day" Kurt hadn't mentioned to Lydia that his dad was dating Finn's mum. Kurt just burst into laughter again, while Lydia had a shocked look on her face.

"Caitlin Hill" Somebody shouted, I looked around.

"Yes?" I wondered who was shouting me.

"Will you be auditioning today?" Rachel Berry asked. Then I look at Kurt and Lydia to see what the think I should do, they just shrugged their shoulders.

"Sure. Why not." So I walked up to the stage, luckily I knew what song I would be singing. I told the guy who was at the piano th song, he just gave me a nod.

"So what song will you be singing?" Finn asked me, which a bright beaming smile on his face.

"I will be singing Adele's Hometown Glory" When everybody who was already in the Glee Club realized what song it was they seem surprised as Adele wasn't as big in the USA as she was in the UK. As I had an American accent they presumed I was American. I always kept up UK music, it seemed so much better that the USA's. When I finished singing Kurt and Lydia were cheering for me. I smiled and walked of the stage. I went straight to Lydia, Mercedes and Kurt. They all told me that I did a good job up there.

Kurt and Mercedes introduced me and Lydia to some other members of the Glee Club. We met Artie, Tina and Mike. They told us there were three other members but they were cheerios and were helping with the auditions. And that reminded me, I looked at the clock. My audition was at 2:30pm and it was 2:10pm now. "Guys, I'm so sorry I've gotta run. I'm auditioning for the cheerios, I got told I have to be ready at 2:25pm" And then I ran to my locker, grabbed my bag and headed for the gym.

I had just enough time to go through my routine a couple of times. I did a routine to Kick-starts by Example. Just as I was about to leave the gym a blonde girl approached me with her hands on her hips, she looked me up and down "You were good in there, I'm sure Sue will be happy to have you" she began to say "My name is Quinn, Quinn Fabray. I am head cheerleader. What other clubs have you joined?"

"Hey, thanks. Nice to meet you. I've signed up for the Glee Club, not sure if I've got in yet. Should know by tomorrow, I'm friends with Kurt."

"Oh, I guess I'll see you in Glee Club too"

"You must be one of the cheer leaders Tina was telling me about"

"Yes, well I have to go know. Good luck" before I could say thanks she walk away, with her hands on her hips still. I watched her walk away as I was walking into the hallway. I bumped into to somebody, a guy, and dropped my bag. I look at him and started to apologize, before I could say sorry he picked up my bad and handed it to me. "You auditioned for Glee Club today, didn't you?" he asked

"Thanks, and yeah I did"

"You were pretty good, Berry sure didn't want you joining. She's the jealous type. I'm Puck" I thought I recognized him.

"Nice to meet you" I gave him a friendly smile "I'm so sorry but I'm late for class"

"I didn't catch your name" he called.

"Should of been listening in auditions" I said just before I entered the class room.
