Ok so thanks to the people who so far have given characters and I hope more of you will because so far we have no new guys so keep the characters rolling in!
Ok so here are the characters I have so far:
Jade Dawson
Belle Taylor
Cassidy Reynolds
Una Donnelly
One thing I forgot to mention about Jade is she's really creative and self expressive when she wants to be. She's fourteen and her birthday is February 4.
If you want to find out more about the other girls look at the comments and maybe leave one yourself? Pretty please? Puppy dog face. Anyway…. Here's chapter one.
Don't look up. Jade Dawson thought to herself as she walked into her new high school. It was the first day of school and the only thing she wanted to do was disappear, which wouldn't be too hard since almost no one knew she was even alive to begin with. She had no friends because she had finally convinced her mother to move away from her past. It was too painful for her to go home to the same house where everything happened.
Bringing her out of her train of thought and memories she'd rather not have, was the jocks yelling from down the hallway, "Bro! It's Cass with the nice Ass!" as a girl in a cheerleading outfit walked down the hall. The boy went on, "I'm so gonna get some of that this year." The boy next to him muttered, "Shouldn't be too hard!"
Jade looked at the girl, she was unaffected by their crude remarks and went on her way with her head held up high. Wish I could ignore stuff like her, she thought.
She went to her class and sat in the back, as usual, and didn't talk to anyone. Yeah, she wanted to move, but not to a place where they seemed to judge her so hard without even knowing her. She was wearing her favorite pair of red jeans and a grey Beatles shirt. Yeah, Ohio wasn't the place for her. She kept getting death glares and was almost willing to say she missed Texas, almost.
She was having trouble finding her next class so she went up to someone to ask for directions and was surprised to be met with an Irish accent. "Yes?" the girl asked. Jade didn't know how much better she would know her way around, for all she knew, this girl could be a new student too, but she asked anyway. "Um, I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of where Spanish class is?"
"Come on, I'll walk with you, I have that class right now too" the girl said and Jade didn't really complain, might as well at least have an acquaintance.
Jade was admiring the girl. She was everything Jade was scared of being. She was friendly, bubbly, and pretty. Jade thought she looked too much like her father to be pretty. The thought of her dad made her want to cry, no not here, she thought.
"I'm Una by the way. What's your name?" the girl, who Jade now knew was named Una. "I'm Jade. I just moved to Ohio and on top of that I'm a freshman so…" Jade said.
"Well that was me last year. Well here's the classroom," Una said as she opened the door and she and Jade walked in.
"Hello class! My name is Mr. Schuester. I will be teaching Spanish," he said.
Well he looks friendly enough Jade thought. Jade went to her regular seat in the back of the class and was surprised to be followed by Una. "Don't want you to feel alone on your first day. My adopted brother showed me around during the summer," she said with a smile as she took the seat next to Jade. Una was glad to have been adopted into such a nice family where all the kids were adopted as well.
The class went on and as they were walking out Mr. Schuester called out, "And if any of you want to join Glee Club, you can sign up here if you want."
Jade thought about glee. Glee meant you had to sing, which meant music, and Jade loved anything to do with music. So as the rest of her class was walking out she signed up. Una noticed what the young freshman had done, and signed up herself. Maybe if she sang, or used music as a way to express herself, she might be able to finally come to terms with all that has happened to her. Maybe if she sang until she could no longer even talk, she might find a way to heel. Maybe, it was a long shot, but it might help. She wanted to feel like she belonged. She wanted to dance all she wanted. Dance was her passion. Plus, she could tell that Jade had a back story as well and would need friends in a school that could be so cruel.
Another name appeared on the list, the name was Belle Taylor. She was a tall and lanky blonde who loved Taylor Swift. She was confident and knew just what song she was going to sing. It was her favorite and fit her voice the best. She didn't care what would happen, she knew how to stand up for herself and others, and singing was what she was meant to do.
Mr. Schuester looked at his sign up list, only three names? He did better than that his first year! They were a Nationals wining show choir and were no longer bullied, or not as much. He didn't understand. He missed the kids. He didn't like the fact that he had to start all over again, but it was what had to be done. He called the first of the three names, all girls by the way, "Belle Taylor."
A young girl with blue eyes and two toned blonde hair with brown at the bottom appeared. "Hi my name is Belle Taylor and I'll be singing "Back to December" by my favorite person alive, and my idol, Taylor Swift." As she said those words, Mr. William Schuester thought he'd just found the country Rachel Berry.
The music began and Belle began to sing:
"I'm glad you made time to see me.
How's life? Tell me how's your family.
I haven't seen them in a while.
You've been good busier than ever,
We small talk, work and the weather,
Your guard is up and I know why.
Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind.
You gave me roses and I left them there to die.
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying, 'I'm sorry for that night,'
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
Wishing I'd realize what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the time.
These days I haven't been sleeping,
Staying up, playing back myself for leavin'.
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times,
I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
Realized that I loved you in the fall.
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was 'Goodbye'.
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying, 'I'm sorry for that night,'
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
Wishing I'd realize what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time.
I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile,
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night-
The first time you saw me cry.
Maybe this is wishful thinking,
Probably mindless thinking,
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't.
So if the chain is on your door I understand.
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying, 'I'm sorry for that night,'
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
Wishing I'd realize what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December turn around and make it all right.
I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind.
I go back to December all the time.
All the time."
"Thank you Belle, I expect to see you in Glee tomorrow," Mr. Schuester said.
"YES!" Belle yelled as she ran off stage into the audience to see who she would be with for the next four years.
"Next up is Jade Dawson," he called. This was looking good. Ok so maybe only three people had signed up, but if they were as good as the first, they could go far.
"I'm Jade Dawson. I'll be singing "Bulletproof Love" by Peirce the Veil."
As Jade began she closed her eyes:
"I breath you in with smoke in the backyard light.
We used to laugh until we choked, into the wasted nights.
It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone.
So darling don't, don't, don't wake me up, 'cause my thrill is gone
Say I'm wrong
In the sunset turning re behind the smoke.
Forever and alone.
Yeah."
Jade remembered when her dad was nice. He always made her laugh and would tell her on how he came here and why he changed his last name and of all his adventures back in his homeland. Now she couldn't stand the sight of looking into the mirror and seeing his face.
"You've gone and sown me to this bed, the taste of you and me
Will never leave my lips again, under the blinding rain.
I wanna hold your hand so tight, I'm gonna break my wrists.
And when the vultures sing tonight, I'm gonna join right in."
She remembered the boy she left back in Texas. She told him everything and actually felt beautiful when he was around. It turns out he was just using her to get closer to her friend and ended up being the biggest jerk ever.
"I'll sing along, oh.
Because I don't know any other song.
I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on.
No I'm barley hanging on.
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone.
And now there's nothing to do, but scream at the drunken moon.
This isn't fair! No!
Don't you try to balm this on me!
My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me.
And God damn it, I can barley say your name.
So I'll try to write it and fill the pen with blood from the sink.
Whoa, oh.
But, don't just say it, you should sing my name.
Pretend that it's a song because forever it's yours.
And we can sing this on the way home."
Her father blamed her for being alive. "Why would I ever have a kid with a Mexican?' He spatat her once. He told her the only reason he never hit her mother was because he didn't want to soil his hands with her Mexican skin. He told her she was fat and ugly, so after every meal she ran to the bathroom. Then he would call her stupid for doing something like that. He told he she would never amount to anything, so the cutting began.
"I'll sing along, oh.
'Cause I don't know any other song.
I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on.
No, I'm barley hanging on.
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone.
But there's nothing to do, but tear my voice apart,
There's nothing to do, but scream at the drunken moon."
She finished and ran off stage where she waited for Una to audition so they could leave already.
Mean while Belle sat there and moved closer to Jade. This girl was good and she knew that sometimes she would have to fight this girl for solos, but for now, she would make friends with her, she thought as she sat closer to Jade.
"And last, but not least, we have Una Donnelly," Will said. He had hope again, maybe these three girls were all he would need. He smiled, this was going to be a good year.
"My name is Una Donnelly and I'll be singing "We Cry" by The Script."
"Together we cry
Together we cry.
Jenny was a poor girl
Living in a rich world
Named her baby Hope when she was just fourteen
She was hoping for a better world
For this little girl
But the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
When she gets that call, Hope's too far gone
Her baby's on the way, with nothing inside.
Together we cry."
Una was singing this song because, it reminded her of her home back in Ireland. Her mother and father were fourteen and fifteen when she was born. Her mother and father were drug addicts. They never let her be who she wanted and always made her feel like the scum of the earth. She had grown up in the wrong part of Dublin and her life was heading nowhere fast.
"What about the John Play, could have gone the whole way.
Lighting up the stage tryna get a deal.
Now he's lighting up the wrong way, something for the pain.
Man you wanna see this kid he was so fuckin' unreal
When he get's the call he's too far gone
Can't get it together to sing one song.
And they won't hear tonight the words of a lullaby
Together we cry,
Together we cry,
Together we cry,
Together we cry."
This part was much like her father. Jay had been expect to be the first in his family to do great things, but he ended up a father at 15. To take away his pain, he did drugs. It was his way of coming to terms with the fact that he had let his family down. Another way he dealt with the pain was to take it out on Una, he felt it was her fault as well.
"Mary's ambition, she wanted to be a politician.
She's been dreaming about it since she was a girl
She thought, that she'd be the one to change the world
Always tryna pave the way for women in a man's world.
But life happened, house, kids, two cars, husband hit's the jar,
Checks that don't go very far now
No she ain't making changes, she keeps her mind on her wages
The only rattling cages are her own.
Together we cry,
Together we cry,
Together we cry,
Together we cry.
There's so much sad gonna flood the ocean
We're all in tears for a world that's broken.
Together we cry
There comes a time when every bird has to fly
At some point every rose has to die
It's hard to let your children go, leave home, where they go, who knows?
Gettin drunk, gettin stoned all alone
Teach a man to fish, feed a man for life
Show your kids the truth, hope they never lie
Instead of reading in a letter that they've gone to something better
Bet you're sorry now, I won't be coming home tonight."
She got a job at a dance studio to help turn her life around, she was becoming a thug on the streets of Dublin. Her father found out and was so mad he beat her then left to go get more drugs. That night she left, she went to a children's home where she had mild anorexia. Then she was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Parker and her life had been well from that moment on.
"I'm sick of looking for those heroes in the sky
To teach us how to fly
Together we cry, we cry, we cry.
Together we cry
Together we cry
There's so much sad gonna flood the ocean
We're all in tears for a world that's broken."
"Thank you." Mr. Schue didn't want to jump the gun, but this years glee club might be better than he thought. Suddenly the auditorium doors opened and a girl with a hoodie on her head walked in, "Can I audition too?" she asked.
As she removed the hood, it was reveled that the girl was Cassidy Reynolds, a Cheerio?
Well for me, this is long, the longest chapter I've ever done to be in fact. If you added your character and don't think I did a good job, let me know, I want to make your character the way you imagined. So in the next chapter will be Cassidy's audition and if anyone else has a character to add, please do! So anyway, thank you for reading…. BYE!
