I woke up to the annoying sound of my first alarm of the school year. It was my first year at William Mckinely High. I would say that I was a little nervous, but I've been to so many schools in my life, I don't even think about it anymore.
I decided to go with a casual look today. I wanted a look that wasn't too sloppy but not trying to hard either. I finally just decided on a cute shirt with skinny jeans, and my converse. I straightened my hair and I headed to the kitchen.
I was greeted by my mother making me breakfast. "Hi, honey I hope your hungry!" I simply replied, "starving."
On the way too school my mother decided it was time to have a good talk with me. "So, are you going to try out for anything this year?" – "I may try out for cheerleading, and dance. I also heard that they have a really good glee club here, and I would love to try that." – "That sounds like a great idea honey!" I smiled at her and we drove silent for the rest of the ride.
"Remember make friends and stay safe!" That was the last thing I heard from her as she drove off leaving me with yet another school awaiting me.
As I made it in the school, I went straight to the office. The lady at the desk wouldn't have even recognized me if it weren't for the kind girl across from her. She ended up showing me around school.
"Hi, I'm Rachel." – " I'm Audrey." As we were walking down a very confusing hallway, I saw a guy look at us who wasn't half bad looking. "Finn!" She shouts suddenly. I look over to see she is referring to the guy who was looking over here. "Finn this is Audrey, a new student at McKinely." – "Nice to meet you, will you be trying out for anything here?" he says. I tell him what I told my mother back In the car.
She almost scares me with how she jerks and jumps when I say glee. "THAT'S AMAZING WE ARE IN GLEE." He eventually takes her away and tells me tryouts are after school and gives me the room number.
We don't talk much after that, I hardly talked to anyone actually. Not that I'm the shy type because you would be way off if you were to think that. I just get uncomfortable around annoying teenagers sometimes. I do however meet some girls in cheer tryouts. I think their names were Santana and Britney? Although, I can't be sure.
Speaking of cheer tryouts I was instantly let in after the coach saw me do a twist full In the air at full speed. I couldn't be more excited! Turns out she runs the dance team to so I showed her my routine from a couple of months ago that I made up and will hear the results after school.
As I'm making my way for where that guy Finn said the glee room is in, I stopped to check the dance tryouts. Not to my surprise I show up on the list in first place.
I get into the room and there are people singing on the stage getting called out and then Finn tells me to do the same so I don't argue.
When I make my way on the stage, I feel nervousness for the first time today. Rachel from earlier says, "We will have you sing three songs. One to test your fastness, high notes, and low notes." I ended up choosing Titanium, Bang Bang, and break up in a small town.
My last song is Titanium and As I'm singing the last line of the song, "I AM TITANIUM." I see a figure move in the darkness as everyone is up and clapping like crazy. Rachel squeaks and jumps on the stage with everyone as they say, "you're obviously in girl, that was amazing." The guy suddenly starts to clap as well out of nowhere..
He does it in a slow, peacefully way. Almost like he was trying to be intimidating. He had the good looks. I wasn't even going to lie, you could get lost in his green eyes. Although his blazer put off that we was a little too rich and cocky for my taste.
He smiles an evil smirk my way as he says, "Looks like you have finally found someone who actually has a bit of talent." I don't even know where it came from but I suddenly just blurt out, "and who the hell are you?" – "I'm your wildest dream, baby" he says, followed by a wink.
I didn't even have to say something before Santana stepped in. She says, "His name is Sebastian Smythe and he's the biggest douche you will ever meet" rolling her eyes afterwards. He simply replies, "that hurt San, really" touching his heart mocking her voice, "and you are?" He says to me. "Aubrey Langston" He just smirks and walks towards the others.
He finally gets a little serious and says, "I came to snoop and see if we had any real competition this year, and it seems we might have" as his eyes scan over me, I cant help but feel flushed. "Don't get so red, it's not like I was complimenting you, newbie." – "It's not like I care for your opinion either" I say only gaining a small smirk.
"Don't worry, we will still beat every one of your asses at Sectionals and then regionals afterwards." He says only making me flush with anger.
After everything got pretty heated with Sebastian setting a date for a duel to practice going against each other for sectionals. I also just found out that we have to do group, double, and single performances. The double being with the opposite sex.
The next week flew by like nobody's business. I had to say I was extremely nervous about the duel later tonight. I was at Santana's and she was already getting me ready. I had a black croptop on with leather pants, and tennishoes. My hair was down wavy as usual. She also did my makeup dark so I had black eyeshadow on.
"Just one more thing" she says excitedly as she goes to her closet and pulls out red lipstick. I put it on and I feel as if I'm in a movie. She snaps and says, "Shoot. We need to go." Just now realizing it was 4:45 and we had to be there at 5 and it was at least a ten minute drive.
When we got there It was 4:56 and the warblers were already here. I jogged and stretched really quick so I could dance. As soon as 5 hit the clock they started. First the whole group was singing against one another, then individuals were on good girls go bad. I almost freaked when Sebastian came and sang to me but then left off to Santana. Always eyeing me.
Then I heard a shout from the judge who said the individual song off was coming up and he would draw a name from each basket, from each team.
I cringed when I heard what he called out. "The warblers is…. Sebastian Smythe! They clapped and then he said, "From the New Directions, our new girl… Audrey!
I walked in the circle nervous as hell but there was no way I was going to let him know that. He wouldn't stop gazing to my stomach from the crop top so I said, "take a picture, it will last longer." He looks up and says, "nope, let's make this fair and pulls his blazer and shirt over his head left In his slacks and shoes.
My breath hitched on the inside but on the outside I just rolled my eyes and went with it. Althouh, damn that boy had abs.
The song started and it sounded familiar instantly. Smooth Criminal by MJ. Thank goodness. Throughout the whole thing he kept looking at me way too much with something odd in his eyes. Possibly lust, I wouldn't doubt it. As I hit my high not I heard his breath hitch and it was my turn to smirk, so I mimicked him the best I could.
At the end, when we were done, the guy took us to a room so he could get a vote from the audience.
Gazing into each other's eyes, and I tried my best to keep my eyes locked on his face and not his gorgeous stomach. Although as soon as I do, he says, "Are my good looks distracting you?" I scoffed and said, "yes actually, but your personality keeps me in check, now put on your shirt, we are about to have to go back out there."
He then pushes me against the wall, one hand on my waist and the other beside my head, and says, "I bet you'd love to stay in here with me instead, right baby?" He says rather seductively. I once again scoff and said, "In your dreams." He then smirks and puts his blazer back on.
As if right on cue the guy walks in and takes us back out with him and we are once again In the circle, and says intimidatingly slow, "And the winner of the duel of the year is, The Warblers!" I just rolled my eyes and went back to my friends, if you could call them that now. They all tried to comfort me and tell me it was okay but I felt horrid.
