Hi everyone! This is my first fanfic on this site; i've written about 7 chapters and will upload them soon. This is basically about the glee project but I have changed a lot. So, i'm starting with week one (Individuality) and that takes about 6ish chapters. I hope you enjoy it, I'm not going to reveal ships yet. Please review and tell me your favourite ships and other stuff about the competition. For example: Who were your favourites? Season 1 or 2, which was better? Who do you want to be shipped in this fanfic? What do you think of the charecters? Tell me by reveiwing. Thank you x


Chapter one: Just smile

Guest Mentors POV

I outstretched a shaking hand towards the door handle. I take in a deep, soothing breath to calm my nerves. Why am I nervous? It was simple: Smile, talk, watch, nod, comment, choose. How hard can it be? I look down at my dress. I've worn worse. The dress was a fairly short, tight-fitting, long-sleeved number, with a gold background and silver lined white stars. It was covered in gold and silver sparkles; I seemed to be wearing a lot of sparkles at the moment! I then look up to the red door. I hear the contestants murmuring, ooh-ing and whispering to one another. 'Here it goes' I think. 'Just smile…'


Callie's POV

We're all on the edge of our seats. I feel myself hyperventilating and getting looks from the others, so I laugh it off and shrug back into my seat, shoulders slumped. I could almost see my dad demonstrating sitting up straight. I missed him. But that didn't matter, all that mattered was that I made a good impression. Smile, talk, sing, nod, listen, clap. How hard could it be? I hear the door begin to slide open. I hold my breath and wonder who was stepping in to our choir room. We'd all been speculating, but nothing was certain.

"So who do y'all think will be the guest mentor?" Shanna asked with her strong accent.

"Nicholas Cage!" Charlie said matter-of-factly. All I could do was stare at him.

"Say wa?!" Abraham giggled. Abraham had just been released from the kitchen by Ali, the maker of the best salad ever (That's coming from me, the salad DODGER).

"Nicholas Cage"

We all sat in silence for a second, then burst out laughing. Charlie was hilarious. He was… just wow.

"I think they're gonna start big this year, it is season 2" Michael said.

"Oh, I hope it's uh… what'shisface. Uh… Sebastian" Abraham said.

"You mean Grant Gustin, right? Or is this yet another celebrity you've lost me on" I asked. Abraham nodded

"I have a guy-crush on him. He must be the most beautiful man alive"

"If that's what helps you sleep at night" Lily murmured. My first thought about Lily was that she was quite eccentric and odd. She could be a laugh, but she could be mean. Maybe she was just misunderstood…

"Well, we'll have to wait and see" Tyler mentioned.

"Only time vill tell" Michael pointed out in his German accent. Then we were all laughing again…

Then the door opened. The room erupted with cheers and overall chaos. Standing in front of us was my idol, Lea Michele. I was paralysed. I let out a gasp and put my hand to my mouth. "Oh…mygod!" I whimpered. I felt a few eyes on me. None of us had known each other long, but EVERYONE knew how much I looked up to the talented Michele. They all knew my love for her. They all knew I'd be awestruck. But, they all definitely knew that I was a true Rachel Berry protégé.

"So this is the amazing Lea Michele, one of the most important cast members on glee who, of course, plays the determined ingénue Rachel Berry. "

"Hi guys. I'm so happy to be here. I watched the whole of last season and I loved it and was over the moon to be invited on here! Being individual is about really showing who you are. The writers like to take things from our lives and incorporate them into our characters. So, let your colours shine and just… give it your all! And I can't wait to see it!"


Shanna's POV

We all got up and made our way to the stage. I was shaking with excitement. I was ready, more ready than ever before. I was prepared to belt for Jesus until I won this show. I was gonna show it all. And Lea… Lea was gonna love me!

I took my baby on a Saturday bang

Michael begins the song as he slides to the front in a shirt and tie.

Boy is that girl with you? Yes, we're one in the same

Tyler then greets Michael on the centre and sends him to the right. I prepare myself for my solo and take in a large gulp of oxygen.

Now I believe in miracles, and a miracle has happened tonight… he!

I hear Lea say something, but it doesn't matter. I skip to the right, joining an awkwardly jamming Michael.

But if you're thinking about my baby, it don't matter if you're black or white!

We all chorus .It seems like glee-relaxed, dreamy and different. Then Dani steps forward, miming and calm, as if she's just messin' around with her buds.

They print my message in the Saturday 'Sun'

Yo, did you tell 'em you ain't second to none?

Charlie's change of lyrics startles me. He makes it fit and work perfectly, showing off his acting and improvisational skills.

Well I told 'bout equality and it's true you're either wrong or your right

Blake. Perfection. He can act, sing dance. And he may be the nicest and fittest guy on earth. When I was a youngster, I'm pretty sure my fantasy prince was just like him. But I know we can't be together, we're in a competion. He also has a girlfriend. By the time my mind has come back from vacation, it's the bridge.

I am tired of this devil

Nellie's distinctive voice calls. It's sounds pretty darn good!

I am tired of this stuff

Abraham sings, strutting around like a true diva. His voice breaks on stuff and Lea says something else to Robert; Ryan stands there, expressionless. He needs to buck up!

I am tired of this business

Ali warbled joyously. I knew I had this in the bag…


Callie's POV

So when the goin' get's ro-o-ough now

I couldn't believe it .I sang it well! I was so nervous,but it all seemed worthwhile when I heard Lea say 'Love her' to the two judges who were standing on either side of her. I heard Aylin sing behind me. God I loved her voice. It was so amazing! I really liked Aylin, she was everything I wanted to be. Confident around boys, flirtatious, pretty, able to dance and fearless. I could never do the things she did, I could never defy others and go my own way, not caring whether it's what was expected. I always had to think of others before I did anything. Then came Lily's loud, overpowering vocal came charging through the array of voices. Ugh. I couldn't warm to Lily. She was so extreme. She was an amazing vocalist and could be hilarious, but she could also be mean. Really mean.


Lily's POV

I think I did well. I hope I did. I love Lea to love me, to think I stand out for the right reasons. I feel so out-of-place here. Everyone else is so thin and confident in their own bodies; they don't need to hide behind a mask. I just want to seem confident for power. I don't wanna look weak or feel small. I want to feel strong and looked up to. But was I going at it the right way? Or was my disguise transparent?


Lea's POV

By the time they finished, I was completely sure on who was the winner in my eyes.

"Wow you guys! That was so good! Right. Shanna," Shanna smiled at me bright-eyed. She seemed like a ball of sunshine and optimism "You owned it, I mean… wow. I was shocked! You have such an amazing voice! Great job.

"Lily," I gazed over at her. She was so different and unique. "You are so stunningly beautiful, a total role-model. I loved your confidence and your fearlessness." She smiled at me so sincerely as if she was so emotional she may cry and mouthed 'thank you' to me. It made me feel so warm inside.

"Charlie" He cockily grinned at me. He reminded me of Cory and Darren! "Changing lyrics is hard, and you did it with such ease. If I hadn't heard or sung the original, I would have not even doubted that was a composed lyric. You are so sweet and charming and just… fab!" He soberly said a genuine thank you and smiled.

"Callie. You made it your own. It was refreshing and interesting to listen to. I could listen to you for hours! You remind me a bit of me!" She giggled

"I'm gonna be honest, my singing teacher actually started calling me Rachel because she said I was like her. I think she was talking about the pain in the butt thing" I couldn't help but laugh. She seemed so down to earth and I loved it.

"So Lea, who are you going to pick as this week's homework winner?"

"Wow. It was super hard but I've decided to go with…" You could cut the tension in the room with a knife. It was so intense. They all leaned in, looking up at me with a mixture of anxiety, excitement and expectancy in their eyes. "Charlie" They all took sharp breaths and clapped. Charlie just grinned… still.


Charlie's POV

"Sorry, what? Can you repeat that!" I said flabbergasted (cool words! Yeah for the English language)

"You won! Congratzies!" Callie laughed, patting me on the back (oo-er, contact).

"Thank you" I stammered. Did I just win something? Yes, I think I did.

Boom. Winning.


Lea's POV

"So Charlie, you will have a one on one mentoring session with Lea and a step up in this weeks group number which is…" I cleared my throat

"Which is… Somebody to love by Queen!" The room was filled with cheers and celebration. It is such an iconic song, and it was going to be great. I just knew it


So, somebody to love is the song? Will they do it justice? What's the concept? Do you think Charles should have won? What do you think of Lily? I just wanted to tell you, I'm not going to go for what is expected with certain charecters. I love writing from peoples points of view because it gives you the chance to explore the charecters feelings. For example: I dislike Lily on the show, but I thought it would be interesting to show a vunerable side of her.

I hope you enjoyed it and I will update as much as I can. In the next few days I'll be putting on all 6 chapters.

Thanks
