The Music's the Same Chapter 1, a glee fanfic

Avril Evans walked into McKinley High. She was starting her sophomore year and was finally coming to terms after being outed the previous year. She had come to terms with that she was a lesbian and she liked it.

"Hey, Bitch, how's it going?" Her friend Katarina Pierce greeted her. She was adopted when she was three months old and her mother Brittany decided to name her after a character from The Vampire Diaries, despite her wife Santana telling her that she mixed the names. Nevertheless, the name fit her well because she acted a lot like the character did on the show. "So are you ready for today?"

"Why are you so sure that we'll make the squad?" Avril asked.

"Because we're royalty here." Katarina argued. "Both of my moms were on the squad and so was yours."

"I really don't know if cheerleading is that good of an idea." The blonde argued. "What kind of message does it send to girls?"

"That we can be champions just as much as the boys." The brunette answered. "Plus it's a great way to stay in shape and it helped my mom get into college. Cheerleading is great for a feminist like you. Not to mention there's changing in the locker room with a lot of hot girls."

"They won't let me into that locker room." Avril responded.

"Damn it, Av, stop trying to find trying to ways to get out of this!" Katarina commanded. "You're going to tryouts if I have to drag you."

"Hey, Glee Club auditions are this afternoon." Avril stated as she read a flyer on the wall.

"You are not doing that." Katarina replied. "You're not going to something else."

"They're not until after cheerleading." Avril pointed out. "There's no reason that we can't do both. All of our parents were in Glee club after all."

"Alright, but we're going to do a duet." Katarina agreed. "We should practice."

"What song did you want to sing?" Avril asked.

"You know the song." Kat said with a smile before she started to sing.

If you want it take it, I should've said it before
Tried to hide it fake it, I can't pretend anymore
I only wanna die alive never by the hand of a broken heart
I don't wanna hear you lie tonight now that I've become who I really am

This is the part when I say I don't want ya I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free cause I can't resist it no more
This is the part when I say I don't want ya I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free cause I can't resist it no more

Thought on your body I came alive, it was lethal, it was fatal
And my dreams they felt so right but I woke up every day oh baby

"See, that is why we need to be in Glee club." Avril explained.

"Okay, I'll sing with you." Katarina concurred. "Now we need to go to gym. I don't want to catch you staring at my ass."

"I've seen better." Avril teased before running off.

Elsewhere in the school, Harper Hudson began to look for her sister. She needed someone to show her around. It was bad enough that Melody's meeting with her advisor meant that she had to ride with her dad. She knew that she had a lot to live up to because Melody was projected to be valedictorian, just like their mother was. So got mostly good grades, but every now and then, she got a B and on top of everything, her dad was a teacher.

She found Melody as she was talking to her boyfriend. She ran over to her side.

"Hey, there you are." She remarked. "How did the meeting go?"

"Good, I've started working on my apps to Stanford and Harvard." Melody replied.

"You know it's only the start of the year." Harper responded.

"Yeah, but these are very competitive schools." Melody pointed out. "I don't really have time to hang out right now."

Harper held her cardigan together as her sister walked away. She was kind of nervous about high school. She had been so popular in middle school, but now she was back at the bottom.

I can hold my breath, I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days if that's what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile, I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part if that's what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

But I'm only human and I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human and I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart cause I'm only human

I'm only human, I'm only human
Just a little human

I can take so much, till I've had enough

Cause I'm only human and I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human and I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart cause I'm only human

As she continued to walk, she walked right into a girl with blonde hair wearing a lot of leather as miniskirt, jacket, corset, and boots.

"Watch it." She remarked.

"Sorry." Harper apologized, lips quivering. She kind of expected the girl to try to take her lunch money.

"Let me guess, freshman?" The girl asked.

"Yes." The younger girl replied. "My name's…Harper…Harper Hudson."

"Call me Samantha." The punky girl stated. "You look lost. Where's your first class?"

"I have Freshman English with Mr. Rutherford." Harper explained.

"Mr. Rutherford's room is down the hall and to the right." Samantha explained. "He doesn't really like it when people are late."

Harper ran off in the direction of the class.

"Are you scaring freshmen?" Samantha's best friend Kelly Desmond asked. He was African-American with curly hair, but not exactly in an afro.

"No, I was just telling her where to go." Samantha answered. "Why do people think I'm scary?"

"All that leather is practically a second skin." Kelly quipped.

"Ha-ha." She deadpanned. "So I heard that there's going to be Glee Club tryouts today."

"Actually they're called auditions." Kelly pointed out. "Are you going?"

"I was thinking about it." She admitted.

After school, Finn Hudson sat in the auditorium. It was his first year officially running Glee Club. He hoped that enough people would show up, even though he could count on Harper and Melody. He was holding auditions to see if more people were interested. He knew a few of his friends' kids were there, but didn't know if they would show up.

Samantha was the first one to walk up. Finn was a little bit surprised by her appearance.

"My name is Samantha Prentiss and I will be singing 'Decode' by Paramore." She announced.

How can I decide on what's right when you're clouding up my mind
I can't win your losing fight all the time
Not gonna ever own what's mine when you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride, no not this time not this time

How did we get here
Well I used to know you so well
How did we get here
Well I think I know

As soon as she was done, Kelly walked onto the stage.

"My name is Kelly Desmond and I will be singing 'Black or White' by Michael Jackson." He declared.

I took my baby on a Saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes we're one and the same

Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle has happened tonight

But, if you're thinkin' about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

They print my message in the Saturday Sun
I had to tell them I ain't second to none

And I told about equality and it's true
Either you're wrong or you're right

But, if you're thinkin' about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

Finn was pleased with the first round of auditions. If he could get more like them, he had a feeling it would be a good year.

So we met our first group. There are still spots open. Please don't forget to review.
