Back At The Start: New Directions 20 Chapter 2: Cast List and Auditions Part 1, a glee fanfic

Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, never have, never will (as much as I'd like to-Finchel would so have got back together by now if I did!). All rights go to RIB and Fox.

A/N: So sorry that it's taken me this long to get the 2nd chapter of this story up but it took a while to get all the characters I needed. Congrats to everyone whose characters were accepted and to those whose characters weren't I'm sorry but there were just so many to choose from. I'm going to split the auditions into two different chapters and there'll be one big group number at the end of the next chapter. So I'll shut up now and get on with the story.

A/N: Sorry that took so long but I wanted everyone to have an idea of what the characters were like. Again congrats to those whose characters were accepted sorry to those who weren't. Now let's get on with the first set of auditions.

Rebecca's POV

I am walking to my 3rd period class when I notice the sign-up sheet for Glee. I'm not the world's most amazing singer but hey both my parents were in Glee so singing must be in my genes. I certainly didn't get anything else from them- I mean I stick out like a sore thumb in my family- the only thing I have in common with Jay and Tori is that we all have brown eyes. I guess maybe that's cause my parents used a surrogate for me- I don't buy it though. They're hiding something from me and it's only a matter of time before my powers of manipulation find out what it is. After all discovering secrets is my major talent.

I go to my audition after school. I'm not sure if I'll get in seeing as my singing's not amazing but hey, Sugar got into Glee when my parents were still here and she's awful. Trust me I know from personal experience. I'm a lot better than she is so I might just have a chance. "Hello Mr Shue. I'm Rebecca Hudson and I'll be singing Die Young by Kesha" I say. He nods at me to start singing and so I begin.

Rebecca:

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms

Let's make the most till this night like we're gonna die young

(I begin to do my dance- it's not very complicated just a kind of hip hop style routine as I sing).

We're gonna die young

Let's make the most till this night like we're gonna die young

Hearts, out our minds

Running til we outta time

Wild child's lookin' good

Living hard just like we should

Don't care who's watching when we tearing it up (You Know)

That magic we got that nobody can touch (For sure)

Looking for some trouble tonight (yeah)

Take my hand, I'll show you the wild side

Like it's the last night of our lives (uh huh)

We'll keep dancing till we die

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms

Let's make the most till the night like we're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

Let's make the most till the night like we're gonna die young

Hunks, taking shots

Stripping down to dirty socks

Music up, gettin' hot

Kiss me, give me all you got

It's pretty obvious that you've got a crush (you know)

That magic in your pants is making me blush (for sure)

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms

Let's make the most till the night like we're gonna die young

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms

Let's make the most till the night like we're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

Let's make the most till the night like we're gonna die young

I finish with some quite impressive body popping moves. "So what do you think?" I ask Mr Shue. "Congrats, you're in. See you on Friday" he says. I leave the stage to find my arch nemesis Waverly on the side of the stage. "What do you want?" I ask her sneering. "I wanted to congratulate you on your performance. Admittedly your vocals leave a little something to be desired but you're an awesome dancer" she says. "Thanks I guess" I say. "I guess you must have got those from your mom" she says. "Yeah well my mom's a pretty awesome dancer" I say. "Oh no, not Rachel. Your biological mom. The one who died. Did they never tell you that you were adopted? You can't possibly have thought you were really one of theirs?" she says. "Take it back, you're lying" I say. "Am not. My mom found out from Casey's mom and I overheard them talking about it. Looks like you're not a real Hudson after all" she says stalking off. I take a moment to let the information sink in and then I run home to give my parents a piece of my mind.

Griffin's POV

I've wanted to sign up for Glee ever since I started at McKinley but it stopped quite soon after my parents graduated and only started again this year. Still I think I'll sign up. Sure it's not gonna do anything for my popularity but I was never really that popular anyway. Plus my parents said that you're allowed to be who you are in Glee and not who everyone else wants you to be. So maybe if I join a club like Glee I'll actually be able to admit that I'm gay rather than hiding in my rather comfy closet- the only person that knows is my aunt Marley, after all being gay isn't exactly the accepted thing here. I sign my name on the sheet and walk off to my next lesson. I annoy pretty much everyone because of my foot tapping during my next few lessons. But finally school is over and my audition is here. "Hi Mr Shue, I'm Griffin Puckerman and I'll be singing One More Night by Maroon 5" I say and begin to sing tapping my foot along with the beat.

Griffin:

You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war

You and I go rough we keep throwing things and slamming the door

You and I get so damn dysfunctional, we stopped keeping score

You and I get sick, yeah, I know that we can't do this no more

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you

Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go

Got you stuck on my body, stuck on my body, like a tattoo

And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you

So cross my heart and hope to die

That I only stay with you one more night

And I know I said it a million times

But I'll only stay with you one more night

Try to tell you "no" but my body keeps telling you "yes"

Try to tell you "stop", but your lipstick got me so out of breath

I'll be waking up in the morning, probably hating myself

And I'll be waking up, feeling satisfied but guilty as hell

Yeah but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you

(Making me love you)

Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go

(I let it all go)

Got you stuck on my body, stuck on my body, like a tattoo

(Like a tattoo, yeah)

And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you

So I cross my heart and hope to die

(Yeah)

That I'll only stay with you one more night

(Oh)

And I know I said it a million times

(Yeah)

But I'll only stay with you one more night

(Yeah)

Yeah, baby, give me one more night

Yeah, baby, give me one more night (whoa, yeah)

Yeah, baby, give me one more night (oh, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you

Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go

Got you stuck on my body, stuck on my body like a tattoo

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So I cross my heart and hope to die

(Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)

That I'll only stay with you one more night

(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)

And I know I said it a million times

(Oh I said it a million times)

But I'll only stay with you one more night

(Yeah, baby give me one more night)

So I cross my heart and hope to die (yeah, yeah)

That I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah, yeah)

And I know I've said it a million times (yeah, yeah)

But I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah, yeah)

I don't know, whatever.

"You're in Griffin. See you on Friday" Mr Shue says. I walk off the stage when I am greeted with the cold, icy feeling of a raspberry slushie in my face. "What the hell was that for?" I ask. "Just a friendly welcome to loserdom" the guy who I recognize as Alexis Lynn, says. "How's this for a friendly welcome?" I say swinging my fist and landing a punch on his nose. I don't usually hit people but things change when you're covered in freezing cold blue slushie. He swings a punch right back into my stomach. "You're gonna wish you'd never done that. Trust me" he says and stalks off. What a jerk. The scary thing is as jerky as he is part of me finds him really attractive. I shake the thought away and tell myself there's no way I could be attracted to that jerk. But for some strange reason, I am.

Emilee's POV

I hate this stupid town. My dads couldn't just have stayed in New York- after all they said my biological parents lived there & I was born there but they wanted us to have the same high school experience as them or something so they moved back here before they adopted me, Kat and Ash. Still after this I only have one more year left of school and I will be off to New York. Heck maybe I'll go find my birth parents and live with them. It's not that I don't love my parents but I just hate this town. I see the sign up sheet for Glee and think what the heck. If I'm going to go to a performing arts school in New York then I'm gonna need the practice so I sign up. I flick my hair and walk off to my next lesson.

It's after school and time for my audition. I grab my guitar and walk over to the auditorium. I'm not sure if I'll get in, after all I'm nowhere near as good as my dads but I can at least try I guess. "Hi Mr Shue, I'm Emilee Hummel-Anderson and I'll be singing "Glitter In The Air" by Pink" I say. I pick up my guitar and begin strumming the chords. Then I start to sing.

Emilee:

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?

Closed your eyes and trusted, just trusted?

Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?

Have you ever looked fear in the face and said, "I just don't care"?

It's only half past the point of no return

The tip of the iceberg

The sun before the burn

The thunder before the lightning

The breath before the phrase

Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?

Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone

Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?

Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion

The hourglass on the table

The walk before the run

The breath before the kiss

And the fear before the flames

Have you ever felt this way?

La La La La La La La La

There you are, sitting in my garden

Clutching my coffee

Calling me sugar,

You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?

Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight?

Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?

Tonight

I strum the last chord and put down the guitar. "Very nice Emilee. It'll be good to have someone who can play guitar in Glee. You're in, see you on Friday" Mr Shue says. I thank Mr Shue and leave the stage where I find my boyfriend Liam waiting for me. "You shouldn't have done that Em. Joining Glee will bring your popularity down" he says. "It's not like I'm even that popular anyway" I say. "But you're dating me, so what you do affects my popularity" he says. "Boo hoo. Who cares about popularity?" I say. "I do and so does most of the rest of the student body" he says. "Well I don't and I'm staying in Glee so ha boo sucks to you guys" I say stalking off.

I hate my boyfriend. I mean I used to love him, obviously. But all he cares about is being popular and he's not really my type anyway. Which is why I've been cheating on him with Cody Chang for the past 6 months. He doesn't know and he never will. Because I'll break up with him before he finds out.

Scarletta's POV

My good eye twitches, looking around for potential threats. See ever since my right eye was taken from that horrible mugger I don't trust anyone. The numerous flipping therapists I've had to go and see call it and I quote "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder". I have a different name for it- that culo ( A/N: Culo means ass in Italian) took my eye and now I can't trust anyone not to hurt me. To top it all off I'm a lesbian so I really can't trust anyone not to hurt me- the people at my school aren't exactly tolerant to people like me. Still I want to at least have some friends so when I see the sign-up sheet for Glee, I decide to go for it. Maybe I'll meet some people who are like me and that I can finally trust other than my parents.

The rest of the day seems to crawl by after that. Finally the time for my audition arrives and I make my way to the auditorium. "Ciao Signor Shuester. Mi chiamo Scarletta Lopez-Pierce e sarò cantare "Ballare su il nostro graves" da il grotta cantati" I say (A/N: Sorry if I got any of that wrong- I'm not Italian). "I'm sorry Scarletta. I have no idea what you just said" he says. It's then that I realize I said all of that in Italian. "I'm sorry. I tend to speak Italian when I'm nervous. I said Hi Mr Shue. My name is Scarletta Lopez-Pierce and I'll be singing "Dancing On Our Graves" by the Cave Singers" I say and begin to sing, making sure I start singing in English not Italian.

Scarletta:

O mellow my dreams, you've gone away

O empty belly, it's good to see you

O my dreams of these quiet people

O you and me dancing on our grave

But oh lord, I know what I've done

And oh lord, I ain't afraid

Hold me baby, cause your eyes are

The prettiest things I've ever seen in my life, honey we're bound for the night

O mellow my son you've gone away

O empty belly it's time to feed you

O my future with these quiet people

O you and me dancing on your grave

But oh lord, I know what I've done

And oh lord, I ain't afraid

Hold me baby, cause your eyes are

The prettiest things I've ever seen in my life, honey we're bound for the night

I finish singing and look over at Mr Shue. "You're in Scarletta. It could be a real advantage someone who can speak another language on our team. See you on Friday" he says. I leave the stage and as I am walking out I bump into another girl. "Mi dispiace" I say embarrassed- it's so annoying, whenever I am nervous or embarrassed I always revert to Italian. "I guess that means "I'm sorry in Italian right Scarletta?" the girl says. I try to work out why she knows my name but then I look up and see that it's Anabelle Puckerman. "Sì, fa" I say desperately trying to speak English but I'm too nervous and all that comes out is Italian. "It's not a problem" Ana says. "Io non ti ho visto" I say. "I'd love to say I understand what you mean but Italian isn't one of the classes I took. See you later Scar" she says. "Arrivederci" I say and she walks away. As she is walking I realize why I got so embarrassed around her. "Ti amo" I say but she's too far away to hear me.

Mason's POV

I can't do. I'd be basically committing social suicide and once you're out of the popular group they'll never let you back in. I am trying to talk myself out of signing up for Glee. I know my parents did it and everything but I've seen those slushies. I don't want one of them flying into in my face. I look down the list of names and my eye is caught by one. Rosalie Puckerman. The girl I've had a crush on since like forever but she's never said yes when I've tried to ask her out. Maybe if I spend more time with her then she'll finally agree to go out with me. Without thinking I sign my name below hers and walk off.

I am on my way to my audition when I feel the ice cold sting of a slushie hit my face. "Better get used to these. You're a glee loser now" Robbie who had been one of my friends says. "Oh yeah?" I say and I throw a punch in the guy's face. He crumples to the floor and I kick him in the stomach. "Who's the loser now?" I ask and all the other jocks cheer. "Anyone else got anything bad to say about Glee?" I ask. No one says anything. "Thought so" I say and I walk off. A few minutes later I am walking onto the stage in the auditorium. "Hi Mr Shue. I'm Mason Evans and I'm going to sing "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars" I say and begin to sing.

Mason:

Today I don't feel like doing anything

I just wanna stay in my bed

Don't feel like picking up the phone, so leave a message at the tone

Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan

Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants

Nobody's gon' tell me I can't

I'll be lounging on the couch just chillin' in my snuggie

Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie

Cause in my castle I'm the freakin' man

Oh yes I said it, I said it

I said it cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything

I just wanna lay in my bed

Don't feel like picking up the phone so leave a message at the tone

Cause today I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all, nothing at all

Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X

Find a really nice girl, have some really nice sex

And she's gonna scream out this is great

(Oh my God this is great)

Yeah I might mess around

And get my college degree

I bet my old man will be so proud of me

But sorry pops you'll just have to wait

Oh yes I said it, I said it,

I said it cause I can

No I ain't gonna comb my hair

Cause I ain't going anywhere

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'll just strut in my birthday suit

And let everything hang loose

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, today I don't feel like doing anything

I just wanna lay in my bed

Don't feel like picking my phone so leave a message at the tone

Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all

I finish singing and Mr Shue says "You're in Mason. See you on Friday" and I walk off stage. There by the side of the stage is Rose. "Hey beautiful" I say turning on the Evans charm. She uses her beautiful blonde hair to hide her face and says "Go away Mason". "Come on Rosie don't be like that. I really like you. What have I got to do to get you to go out with me?" I ask her. "I don't want to go out with you, so leave me alone" she says walking off. I don't care what it takes, one day I am gonna win that girl over. "Rose" I call after her. "Did I not just make it pretty clear that I don't want to go out with you Mason?" she asks. "I'm not taking no for an answer. How do you know that you'll hate going out with me, if you never try it?" I ask. "I don't want to try it. I just want to be left the hell alone so leave me alone Mason. NOW!" she yells and I walk off. I'm still not giving up. That girl likes me, I know she does. I just have to find a way to get it out of her.

Aylish's POV

I am a ugly, fat slut. At least that's what the jocks tell me every time I go to school, which isn't very often as I skip as often as I can. Every time I look in the mirror I am reminded of this. I am reminded of what I gave up. Or more accurately who I gave up. My son. Archie. Having him was the best thing I ever did and now some other couple are looking after him. I hate myself for doing that. I gave my up popular life, showed school the real me. Guess what? No one likes the real me. I am on one of my rare days actually at school and a notice on the noticeboard catches my eye. It is the notice for Glee Club. What the hell? I have nothing to lose by signing up so I sign my name and walk off to my next lesson.

It is after school and I walk into the auditorium for my audition. "Hi Mr Shue. I'm Aylish Flanagan and I'll be singing "Rush" by Aly and AJ" I say and begin to sing and perform my dance- I chose ballet for this song but I can do lots of different types.

Aylish:

Into your head, Into your mind

Out of your soul, race through your veins

You can't escape, you can't escape

Into your life, into your dreams

Out of the dark, sunlight again

You can't explain, you can't explain

Can you feel it, can you feel it

Rushin' through your hair

Rushin' through your head

Can you feel it, can you feel it

Don't let nobody tell you, your life is over

Be every colour that you are

Into the rush now

You don't have to know how

Know it all before you try

Pulling you in, spinning you round

Lifting your feet right off the ground

You can't believe it's happening now

Can you feel it, can you feel it

Rushin' through your hair

Rushin' through your head

Can you feel it, can you feel it

Don't let nobody tell you, your life is over

Be every colour that you are

Into the rush now

You don't have to know how

Know it all before you try

It takes you to another place

Imagine everything you can

All the colours start to blend

Your systems overload again

Can you feel it?

Don't let nobody tell you, your life is over

Be every colour that you are

Into the rush now

You don't have to know how

Know it all before you try

Don't let nobody tell you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't let nobody tell you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't let nobody tell you, your life is over

Be every colour that you are

Into the rush now

You don't have to know how

Know it all before you try

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I finish on a pirouette and face Mr Shue. "We definitely need someone with both your singing and dancing talents. You're in. See you on Friday". I walk off the stage and straight into Asher. "Oh sorry. I didn't see you there" I say and begin walking off but Asher grabs my arm.

"Yes you did. When are you going to stop avoiding me?" he asks. "When giving up Archie stops hurting" I mutter. "You and I both know that's never gonna happen. You think I don't miss him? You think I don't think about him every day? He's my son too. Losing him hurt me as well" he says. "I'm sorry I dumped you. Every time I see you, I see him" I say. "Why don't we find him?" he asks. "Because we never will. My parents took care of the adoption. I have no idea where he is" I say.

"Where there's a will, there's a way" he says. "I guess so. We'll start looking at every adoption agency in town at the weekend" I say. "That's my girl" Asher says. "My girl. I missed that. Am I really still your girl?" I ask. "Of course and if you don't believe that, then believe this" he says kissing me. "What was that for Ash?" I ask. "I still love you Lish. Will you be my girlfriend again?" he asks. "Yes. If we're really gonna get Archie back then I want us to be a family" I say kissing him. He grins and we leave school hand in hand full of plans for our future.

Casey's POV

I always knew that when Glee was started up again, I'd join. I love to dance, it's the one thing in life that I am really passionate about. I can sing a little as well but I really love to dance. I would've stayed at my dance school in New York but I wanted to be back with my parents and my younger brother Elijah. When I see the sign-up sheet for Glee on the notice board I sign up immediately. It's not like I have popularity to ruin. I hear wolf whistles coming from behind me. It's a bunch of stupid jocks from the year above. I really wish they'd stop doing that- I hate being the centre of attention. I ignore them and walk off to my next lesson. After my lesson I rush out to make sure I am at the auditions on time. I've put together a killer dance routine so even if my singing is not as good as everyone else's I'll at least be better at dancing. "Hi Mr Shue. I'm Casey Puckerman and I'll be singing "Catch My Breath" by Kelly Clarkson" I say and begin to sing.

Casey:

I don't wanna be left behind

Distance was a friend of mine

Catching my breath in a web of lies

I've spent most of my life

Riding waves, playing acrobat

Shadowboxing the other half

Learning how to react

I've spent most of my time

(I begin to do my complicated hip hop routine which contain a lot of popping and locking and a few gymnastic tricks)

Catching my breath, letting go

Turning my other cheek for the sake of the show

Now that you know, this is my life

I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back

I ain't got time for that

Catch my breath, won't let them get me down

It's all so simple now

Addicted to the love I found

Heavy heart, now on a weightless cloud

Making time for the ones that count

I'll spend the rest of my time

Laughing hard with the windows down

Leaving footprints all over town

Keeping faith, karma comes around

I will spend the rest of my life

Catching my breath, letting it go

Turning my cheek for the sake of the show

Now that I told you, this is my life

I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back

I ain't got time for that

Catch my breath, won't let them get me down

It's all so simple now

You helped me see the beauty in everything

Catching my breath, letting it go

Catching my breath, letting it go,

Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that I told you, this is my life

I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catching my breath, letting it go,

Turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that I told you, this is my life

I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath!

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back

I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,

It's all so simple now (it's all so simple now!)

Catching my breath, letting it go,

Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that I told you, this is my life,

I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,

I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,

It's all so simple now

I finish my dance routine with a double back somersault. "So how'd I do Mr Shue?" I ask. "Your vocals were a little shaky but that dance routine was incredible. You're in. See you on Friday" he says.

I walk off the stage and am stopped by Sebastian Lopez-Pierce. "Would you mind getting out of my way Seb?" I ask. "No. I am a determined guy and I always get what I want, and what I want is you" he says. "Wow that's so romantic how could I say no? Oh wait no" I say and push past him. He grabs my arm and pulls me back. "Okay that came out wrong, I'm sorry. Look I actually think you're really pretty and I'd like to go out on a date with you. Will you?" he asks. "I'm pretty? Really?" I ask. "Are you kidding? You're gorgeous Case. Please will you go out with me?" he asks. "Ok. I'll go out with you. Friday night sound good?" I ask. "Friday's perfect. I'll pick you up from your house at 7" he says. "Wow, you're gonna pick me up. Romantic guy are we?" I ask. "You bet" he says and kisses me. To my surprise I don't pull away. "That'll have to hold you over till Friday" he says. "I'm looking forward to it already" I say smiling and walking away.

Alexis' POV

I am just walking down the hallway minding my own business when Emilee Hummel-Anderson's jerk boyfriend Jeff comes out of nowhere and punches me in the face. "What the hell man?" I ask. "That's what happens to barbies like you. We know your dirty little secret. And don't think you can go running to daddy and tell him that the big bad boys are bullying his little faggot son or we'll kill you". Jeff's friends come out of nowhere, one of the pins me up by my throat to the lockers and the others come at me from all angles punching me in the ribs and the stomach. Just as I am struggling to breathe the thug drops me and I fall to the floor unconscious.

When I wake up a few minutes later my ribs hurt like hell and my head is bleeding. I start crying. "Need a hand there?" a voice asks. Who would it be but Griffin Puckerman. "Did I not make it clear after your audition that I hate your guts?" I ask. "Oh you did. But I figure you've got a couple of cracked ribs there and that head wound needs taking care of. After that you can go audition for Glee, I signed you up already" he says. "Why on earth would you want to help me, you hate me. And I would never sign up for Glee, that's where popularity goes to die" I say. He hands me a tissue and I wipe my eyes. "Look from what I've seen your popularity is dead already. I'm helping you because guys like us need to stick together & I know you don't want to join Glee but that's the only place in this school where people like us are gonna be accepted. But just for the record I do hate you" he says. "Okay fine. Just help me up will ya?" I ask. He does and helps me go to the nurse to have my head and ribs sorted out. After that he leaves me and I go off to my audition. "Hi Mr Shue, I'm Alexis Lynn and I'll be singing "Stupid Boy" the Cassadee Pope version" I say.

Alexis:

Well she was precious like a flower

She grew wild, wild but innocent

A perfect prayer in a desperate hour

She was everything beautiful and different

Stupid boy you can't fence that in

Stupid boy, it's like holding back the wind

She laid her heart and her soul in your hands

And you stole her every dream and crushed her plans

She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens

When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't

Stupid boy, stupid boy

So what made you think you could take a life

And just push it push it around

I guess to build yourself up so high

You had to take her and break her down

She laid her heart and her soul in your hands

And you stole her every dream and crushed her plans

She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens

When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't

You stupid boy

Oh, you always had to be right but now you've lost

The only thing that ever made you feel alive

Yeah, yeah

Well she laid her heart and soul in your hands

And you stole her every dream and crushed her plans

Yes you did

She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens

When the only voice she hears is telling her that she can't

You stupid boy, oh I'm the same old

Same old stupid boy

It took her a while to figure out she could run

But when she did, she was long gone, long gone

Ah she's gone, she's long gone

Yes, she's gone

Nobody's ever gonna love me like she loved me

And she loved me, she loved me

God please, just let her know

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Baby, yeah, I'm down on my knees

She's never coming back to me

I look out into the audience after I finished singing and I see Griffin. I smile and wave at him but he just turns and walks away. I shouldn't be surprised really. I mean we hate each other. Or at least I think we do. "Congrats Alexis, you're in. See you on Friday" Mr Shue says but I barely hear him, I am too deep in thought. I leave the stage. Is it possible that I like Griffin? No absolutely not. Or do I? I'm so confused about this. Do I like him or don't I? I think I might.

Cody's POV

"Hey Cody, Coach Lynn wants to see you in his office" my friend Jay Hudson says. "Ok" I say jogging over to Coach Lynn's office. "Hey Coach. Jay said you wanted to talk to me" I say as I enter. "Yes I did Cody. Principal Figgins has introduced a new rule in regards to team sports. Each member of a team has to be involved in one non-athletic extra curricular and you are currently not involved in any. We need to change that if you want to stay on the team" he says. "So I need to join something? What I am supposed to join? I have no skills other than football" I say. "Well from what I remember Cody you're not a half bad singer. Why don't you join Glee?" Ryder asks. "You're kidding. Coach Lynn that's where social lives go to die" I say. "Hey I was in Glee when I was your age. I wasn't so sure at first either but honestly the friends you make in Glee stay with you through your entire life" he says. "No I can't. I'd be committing social suicide" I say. "Well let's put it this way. You either join Glee or you're off the team. Your decision Cody but it would be a damn shame if all your talent was wasted. Think about it" he says.

I know I'm going to regret doing this but I sign up for Glee. Goodbye social domination, hello scrap heap. Still I have to be on the football team otherwise there's no way I'll be able to get a scholarship to a great college. I try not to think about it until my audition that afternoon comes around.

"Hi Mr Shue. I'm Cody Chang and I'll be singing "Vida La Vida" I say and begin to sing.

Cody:

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

Once you go there was never

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

I finish singing and wait for Mr Shue to say something. "Well done Cody that was quite something. You're in. See you at the meeting on Friday" he says. I walk off stage and see Emilee waiting for me. "Em what do you want?" he asks. "I want you. Just you. I'll break up with Jeff and be with just you" she says. "Em we both know that I'm seeing other people and you're seeing other people. I'm not the exclusive type of guy okay. I'm sorry but I can't let you break up with your boyfriend just to be with me cause I won't be faithful to you, I know I won't. I still love you though and we can still have our fun. That is if you want to". "Damn if you weren't the best sex I'd ever had, I'd dump you right here, right now" she says. "You know you love me" I say doing my flirty smile. "Yeah I do" she says and kisses me. "I'll see you later ok?" she says. "Yeah, see you later" I say. I walk down the halls and my eyes are caught by this beautiful tall girl. She turns around and it's Josie Lopez-Pierce. Damn that girl is hot. And a great football player. She's also the girl I'm cheating on Em with. My problem is I can't decide which one I like more and I know I'm hurting both of them by doing this but I just don't know who to choose. And I really should.

Abby's POV

I sign up to Glee as soon as I see the sign up sheet. I know everyone says it's death for your popularity but I don't have any popularity to kill so I'll be fine. I'd love to become popular but none of the popular crowd like me. In fact no one likes me. I'm the world's biggest loser. And just to prove my point Anthony Evans and his cronies come at me with a grape slushie. I hate these ones, they're the second hardest to get out after raspberry. After changing my clothes I walk off to my next lesson.

It's after school and time for my audition. I walk out on to the stage and sit behind the piano. "Hi Mr Shue, my name's Abby Abrams and I'll be singing "Out Here On My Own" from Fame" I say and begin to play and sing.

Abby:

Sometimes I wonder where I've been

Who I am, where I fit in

Make believing is hard alone

Out here on my own

We're always wondering who we are

Always reaching for that rising star

To guide me far and shine me home

Out here on my own

When I'm down and feeling blue

I close my eyes so I can be with you

Oh baby, be strong for me

Baby belong to me

Help me through, help me need you

Until the morning sun appears

Making light of all my fears

I dry the tears I've never shown

Out here on my own

But when I'm down and feeling blue

I close my eyes so I can be with you

Oh baby, be strong for me

Baby, belong to me

Help me through, help me need you

Sometimes I wonder where I've been

Who I am, do I fit in

I may not win but can't be thrown

Out here… on my own

I finish playing the final chord of the song and stand up from my piano stool. "You're in Abby. It'll be great to have someone who can play the piano in Glee. See you on Friday" Mr Shue says. I leave the stage and find Lawrence Johnson, a jock waiting there. "I'm sorry are you waiting for me?" I ask. "Is that so hard to believe?" he asks. "Yeah it is. You slushie me almost every day" I say. "Yeah well I have to. I don't want to but you know what this school's like" he says. "Yeah I do. So what do you want?" I ask. "I wanted to ask you out. Saturday night, Breadstix. What do you say?" he asks.

"You want to go out with me?" I ask warily. "Yeah I do. You're a pretty girl Abby and I like you. Just one date, please?" he asks. "Ok but you're buying" I say. "Deal" he says and kisses my cheek. He leaves and I am stood there gobsmacked. A popular guy asked me, Abby Abrams out. Maybe things are looking up this year after all.

Jay's POV

It's our first day back at school and naturally I've already taken care of my back to school prank. Well someone has to, otherwise we'd never have any fun around here. I count down on my watch, 5, 4, 3,2,1. Exactly on schedule a massive bang sounds from Principal Figgins' office. He runs out of his office clutching his ass which I presume is a little singed from the firework I placed under his chair cushion. Like I said, this school would be boring without me here. Principal Figgins yells down the hall "Jay Hudson, my office NOW!" I laugh to myself. This should be interesting.

"Mr Hudson as much as the student body seems to be amused at your annual back to school prank I don't find it so funny. Fireworks are not toys. You're very lucky it didn't kill me" Principal Figgins says as soon as I sit down in the chair opposite him.

"Yes sir" I mutter whilst trying not to laugh.

"As a punishment I've told Mr Shuester that you will be signing up for Glee Club otherwise you'll be suspended and that suspension will be put on your record and could affect your chances of getting into a good college. Do I make myself clear Mr Hudson?" he asks.

"Yes sir" I say. He gestures for me to go and once I'm out of eye and earshot I begin to laugh. I may have to join loser club but it was worth it just to see the look on his face when that firework went off. I go over and grudgingly sign my name on the Glee Club sign up sheet. At least I probably only have to make it through this year and then I can quit.

I make my way over to the auditorium. "Jay, Mr Figgins has told me that as your punishment for that little stunt you pulled earlier you have to join Glee for the remainder of your time at McKinley. Okay?" Mr Shue asks. "Yeah sure" I say although I'm inwardly groaning. I thought I'd only have to slog it through this year not next year as well. Still may as well get this train wreck over with. "Hey Mr Shue, as you already know my name is Jay Hudson and I'll be singing "Turn Up The Music" by Chris Brown" I say and begin to sing.

Jay:

Turn up the music cause the song just came on

Turn up the music if they try to turn us down

Turn up the music, can I hear it til the speakers blow

Turn up the music, fill your cup, drink it down

If you're sexy and you know it, put yo hands up in the air

Put yo hands up in the air, girl put yo hands up, hands up, hands up, hands up

Oh oh oh oh

Turn it up (just dance with me)

Turn it up

Turn up the music

I finish the song. "Well it goes without saying that you're in. Maybe next time you don't put a firework under Figgins' chair Jay. Still see you on Friday" Mr Shue says.

I walk out the door and down the corridor and there is my secret crush. Joy Chang. She's gorgeous but she's a nerd and I'm a jock plus she never dates any guys cause she's on her crazy nerd work schedule. If things were different though I'd so date her. I've only had a crush on her since we were like 9, so I think I've waited long enough. Well now I'm in Glee maybe I'll try my luck. Maybe just maybe I might be the first guy she actually says yes to when asked out on a date. I really hope so.

A/N: I know this was crazy long and I promise after the next chapter there will be no chapters anywhere near as long as this. Songs used in this chapter were Kesha-Die Young, One More Night-Maroon 5, Glitter in the Air-Pink, Dancing On Our Graves- The Cave Singers, The Lazy Song-Bruno Mars, Rush-Aly and Aj, Catch My Breath-Kelly Clarkson, Stupid Boy-Cassadee Pope version, Vida La Vida-Coldplay, Out Here On My Own-Fame and Turn Up The Music-Chris Brown. Thanks to everyone who submitted OC's and those whose OC's didn't have their auditions in this chapter will be in next chapter which should be up on Wednesday (and if not then definitely by the end of the week).

NEXT TIME: Part 2 of the auditions
