A/N: Wow I'm updating this really fast.
Anyway, its time for the disclaimer. I am not a male so I am definitely not Ryan Murphey. I do not own glee, I only own my OC. I also do not own any of the lyrics that I decide to list in this song.
Anything in italics will be Dani's thoughts or whoever the persons POV's thoughts. Anything in bold will be lyrics.
Here we go!
Chapter 2
Why does high school have to be so difficult? Everywhere I went people would stare at me, and the stares became more numerous as the day went on. By lunch, everyone was gossiping about me, why I was being so mysterious, where I came from, and why the hell I was here. It's not like I will tell them. I would rather not become the school's gossip of the year thank you very much. What will they do when they find out that I am from L.A.? Ugh.
I couldn't stand it anymore, especially in the lunch room, where it felt like everyone in the entire school was watching my slightest movements. Instead of going to the cafeteria, I decided to look for a much quieter place, where no one would be for at least a half hour so I could eat my lunch in peace. I ended up in the auditorium. It was called a fancy name, which I could care less about. An auditorium is an auditorium. And right in the middle of the stage was a baby grand piano.
Must have had some type of a rehearsal of some sort. Yet just being near a piano made my fingers yearn for the black and white keys. The black wood looked so sleek and it glistened in the harsh auditorium spotlight. I sat down in the front row to eat my basic lunch. But my hunger was replaced by the desire to be sitting on that piano bench, with music unfolding beneath my fingertips. Somehow unconsciously I found myself up on the stage, standing behind it.
How can an inanimate object be so tempting? I sat down, letting my hands graze over the keys. They felt cold, like they hadn't been played in a very long time. Shame, I would love to have this. The sound it made was so beautiful. My fingers were already getting ahead of my mind, playing a song that I hadn't played in so long, or hadn't listen to in more than a year. But the lyrics reappeared in my mind like I had only listened to the song yesterday.
Something always brings me back to you You hold me without touch Set me free, leave me be You loved me 'cause I'm fragile Set me free, leave me be I live here on my knees But you're neither friend nor foe You're on to me, on to me and all over
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need
Here on the ground
Though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know
Is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
Before I knew it my hands had hit the last chord. I hadn't sung like that in years. With all the discouragement from my parents to not get into the music business, although they are record dealers, musical practice wasn't really appreciated. I sat there in silence until a voice spoke up from the back of the room.
"Bravo." The silhouette in the background was male, and I felt like I recognized him from somewhere. When he stepped out into the light, I found out that it was Mr. Shuester, my Spanish teacher. Also with him was a very small female no taller than 5'4" with a very angry scowl on her face. She wore clothes that looked like she was afraid to show any skin or anything that would actually get a guy's attention with her sweater and knee length socks.
"While I am also being your Spanish teacher Dani, I am also in charge of McKinley's Glee Club. This is Rachel Berry, the main female lead in our small group. You would have to audition to join, but with that performance, I can see that you are more than capable to join our Glee Club. Would you like to join?" Although Mr. Shue seemed like he wanted me to join, the little grouch beside him was showing the direct opposite of that. She doesn't like that if I join that I will be taking some of her spotlight. I smirked, thinking how fun that would be to piss of a Wizard of Oz munchkin. Her appearance was not much different from the tiny peoples.
"I'll think about it. When do you guys meet?" I thought that I would at least entertain him, make him actually think that I had any interest in joining his club. Yet in the back of my mind, I was actually considering the idea. Back in L.A., I had been apart of the Glee Club and had done a few musicals. Yet I was still skeptical. Glee Club was the reason why my life started to go downhill.
"We meet after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to had to arrange our schedule because half of the people in our club are either a Cheerio or a Football player. And I would rather not have Sue or Coach Bieste reporting to Principal Figgins how Glee Club is interfering with there after school practices." He smiled. "Well I hope that you do consider it." He waved his hand goodbye and walked out of the auditorium. Yet Munchkin stayed.
She approached the stage. I prepared myself for one a very big "stay away from my club or you will regret it" talk. She smiled. "You should really join glee club. Although you would probably be swaying in the sidelines most of the time, watching me sing all of the female leads, but its still pretty fun. Don't let what he said about you being good cloud your judgment. He says that to everybody that joins. And some of your notes were flat, just so you know." How can she say all of that and still keep smiling like that?
She turned to walk away, but I had to say something. She had incredibly pissed me off and no one gets off that easy. "Yo munchkin! For as a matter of fact, I will be joining Glee Club and kicking your ass off that self proclaimed spotlight of yours. And I will be doing it all in style, unlike you." Her mouth dropped. Success! "Are you just going to keep staring at me like that or are you going to leave?" She hadn't moved. I jumped off the auditorium stage and began to head for the exit.
The bell for next period rang. What the hell have I just gotten myself into?
End of Chapter 4!
Did you guys like how Rachel and Dani's little verbal spar. It was very entertaining to write.
The song in this chapter is called Gravity by Sara Bareilles. It's an amazing song, and very emotional.
Review!
I would like to have A review before I post the next chapter.
