Ch-2 School, meeting, and auditions
...
A new year has started at McKinley high. A lot of old and new, fresh faces. The hall ways were crowded with students gathering in their social groups, catching up with old friends, some haven't seen since last year. You have your cheerleaders, jocks, the geeks, and those who walk to the beat of their own drum.
Will Schuester stood infront of a big, glass case which held a big trophy and a picture with the previous group of Glee students. He smiled at the many memories that they shared together. Now that they are all done high school and moved on with their adult lives, he has the opportunity to do it all over again with a new batch of students. He walked over to the wall next to the case where he hung the new audition sheet for Glee club. He smiled before walking away, thinking that he was going to have another fun year.
...
River Noon walked into the school, wanting to be anywhere else but there. He looked around at all of the happy, go lucky students around him. Seeing them so happy just made him more mad. He looked down at his IPod, listening to his music not paying any more attention to his surroundings. While walking he stumbled over, catching himself with the locker, before he fell to the floor. He looked down and saw a girl with bright, pink hair, who was sat on the floor, leaning against a locker. He took off his headphones, looking down at her.
"Watch it freak!" He roared.
"Oh my gosh I am so sorry." She said, freaking out.
"You better be...who are you?" He asked, curiously.
"I'm Heidi." she said, as she extended her hand to greet him.
He grunted and ignored her gesture "Whatever. Don't be such a danger hazard next time." he said before storming away.
Heidi retreated her hand back and watched him walk off, letting out a small giggle "Nice to meet you to." she said sarcastically.
...
Matheus and Rona opened the door to the school, Rona was still very nervous while Matheus was full of confidence. While they walked, with ever girl that they passed, Matheus couldn't help but flirt.
"Hey ladies." he said with a wink every time.
Rona rolled her eyes at him "Not this again." she said.
"What?" He said, with a small grin.
"You know what I mean. You hitting on every girl you see."
"I can't help it sis. I can't help that girls dig me." He said, popping up his collar of his leather jacket.
"I'm pretty sure that is all in your head." She said, scruffing up his hair.
He grinned while he tried to fix his hair "Hey, it's true."
When they were walking, Matheus spotted the sign up sheet, he stopped, causing Rona to stop.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
He smiled before walking up to the sheet. "Glee club. How about we join?" He asked.
"Oh no way."
"Why not? Remember how much fun we had in our old school in Glee club."
"Yeah, and I remember how humiliating it was. I'm not going back to being a loser again."
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yeah, but if you want to you can join."
"But..."
"I'm going to go look around some more." she said before walking off.
"Um..Okay then." He said before looking up at the sign. He took a pen out of his pocket only to find that he couldn't reach the sheet. "Dang it."
Just then Chase walked up to him "Hey, you need some help there bud?" he asked politely.
Matheus looked up at him and smiled "Yeah, thanks man."
Chase took his pen "What's your name?" he asked.
"Matheus Garcia." He replied.
Chase nodded before signing his name to it "So, I never seen you around before, are you new?" he asked.
"Yeah, I just moved here."
"Well, welcome. I'm Chase by the way." He said, extending his hand.
Matheus smiled and shook his hand "Nice to meet you Chase."
Chase looked back up at the sign up sheet "Glee huh?"
"Why, what's wrong with that?" He asked, feeling a bit offended.
"Oh, nothing."
"Oh okay. Well, do you sing?" Matheus asked.
"I haven't really tried."
"Maybe you should try out, It'll help a lot to know someone there."
"I guess." Chase said before he was about to sign the sheet. But before he could, he felt himself being shoved.
"Dude, what the..." Chase said before turning around, seeing his step brother, Lex.
"How much more of a loser could you be? You're signing up for glee club?" Lex asked, laughing hysterically.
"What about it?" Matheus said, trying to stand up for Chase.
Lex looked down at him and laughed even harder "Awe, where did you get a Munchkin? I want one!"
Chase looked down to Matheus then back up to Lex "Dude, that's not cool."
Lex walked closer to Chase "What, did I hurt your little buddy's feelings?" he said before shoving Chase again, causing Chase to hit his back off of the wall, causing him to cringe in pain.
"Just, leave us alone Lex." Chase said, under his breath.
Lex let go of him and took a step back, looking to Matheus then back to Chase again "Later losers." he said before walking off.
"Are you okay dude?" Matheus said, seeing that Chase was hurting.
"Yeah...I'm fine." Chase said, trying to catch his breath.
"He is such a jerk." Matheus said, looking toward the direction Lex walked off in.
"Yeah I know...that jerk is my brother." Chase admitted.
Matheus looked at him a bit shocked "Oh, sorry I..."
"No, I totally agree with you." Chase said, feeling a bit better.
"So, are you still going to sign up?" he asked.
"Yeah." Chase said before turning back to the sign up sheet, signing his name under Matheus'.
The first bell of the school year rang, telling people that it was time to go to their homeroom.
"Shoot, I don't know where to go." Matheus said while looking at his schedule.
"Let me see it." Chase said, holding his hand out.
Matheus handed it to him. "Yeah sure."
Chase looked in up and down, while looking at his own "Oh, no worries, you can come with me. We have homeroom together, as well as Spanish and Math."
"Oh cool." Matheus said.
"Come on, we don't want to be late on our first day of school." Chase joked.
Matheus laughed before following Chase to their homeroom.
Will Schuester stood in front of the class while the students piled in "Okay, take your seats, any seat, just as long as you are sitting."
After they were all settled in, Will went and leaned against the front of his desk, facing the students "Well, welcome back you guys. I believe that we are going to have a fun year this year. It looks to me that we have a new student with us this year. Want to introduce yourself." Will said, gesturing to Matheus.
Matheus looked around and saw that all eyes were on him, then looked back to Will "No, I'm good."
The room filled with snickered from the rest of the students "Come on, stand up and tell us your name at least, where you lived before Ohio."
Matheus sighed before standing up next to his desk he was about to speak before he heard someone from the back of the room.
"He said stand up!" a voice heckled.
Matheus rolled his eyes before shaking it off "My name is Matheus, and I come from Colorado."
"Nice to meet you Matheus." Will said. "Okay I will do attendance now." Will said, going to his computer, putting up the student list.
Before he could start, the door opened. Justice tried to creep in slow, but was quickly caught.
"You're late." Will said when he noticed her.
Justice sighed "Sorry." she said before looking for an available seat, the only seat available was next to Matheus.
Matheus saw her and smiled at her, giving her a wink. She rolled her eyes before regretfully taking it.
"Okay, now we can start." Will said as he started to call out the names.
...
When the lunch bell rang, all of the students sighed of relief as they got to have a break. Justice walked down the hall, can't help but feel that everyone she passes is making fun of her. She tried to block them out, trying to look anywhere but them. When she walked pass a corner, she saw the sign up sheet. She looked around to see if anyone could see her before cautiously walking up to it. seeing that a couple of people have already signed up. She was about to sign her name but she stopped herself.
"This is crazy." she whispered to herself before turning away, where she was face to face with Ty.
Ty smiled down at her "Hey Justice, are you signing up?" He asked.
Justice sighed "No, i was just looking." she said, before walking pass Ty.
Ty stopped her by swiftly grabbing her arm, pulling her back "Well, why not. I think you should. I remember you used to always sing, and you were quite good."
Justice looked down at where he grabbed her arm "Let go." she said.
He slowly let go "But, why?"
"Because I don't want to okay!" She said before storming off.
Ty sighed as he watched her walk away. He turned to the sign up sheet, smirking as an idea came to him. he walked up to it and signed Justice's name, then his own. He smiled before walking off.
...
The last school bell of the day rang and all of the students were relieved and pumped that they could go home. Will Schuester came on the P.A system with an announcement.
"Attention student. For all of those who have signed up for Glee club, I am holding auditions right now in the auditorium. Even those who didn't sign up who still want's to join, you are also welcome to come."
Everyone who signed up went right to the auditorium. Justice was about to walked out the door but she had a slight impulse to go in to just check it out. When she walked in she sat down in the back, crouching down, hoping no one caught her there.
Will sat at a table in the middle of the auditorium with a clip bored in his hands that held the list of names that signed up. He looked down the list and smiled, thinking that this was a good start.
"Okay to audition we have..." Will looked at the sheet "Matheus Garcia." He read, looking to the stage where he saw the short, new kid come to the stage. He gave him a smiled "Hello, you can start whenever your ready."
Matheus smiled to him before taking out his guitar out of its case. He looked at the rest of the people in the room, watching him, he smile confidently before he started to strum, then started to sing 'Billionaire' by Bruno Mars.
After he performed he smirked to the people then to Mr. Schue. He saw that Will was smiled and applauding him.
"Wow, great job Matheus." Will said, pleased.
Matheus took a small bow before leaving the stage.
"Okay, next we have Chase Bale." Will announced.
After congratulating Matheus Chase walked up onto the stage, his hands in his pockets, looking obviously nervous.
"Good luck." Will said as he waited for the performance
Chase closed his eyes, trying to block out the people before he started to sing "Perfect" Boyce Avenue version.
As he got comfortable while singing, he opened his eyes, looking at the other people. Feeling more confident.
When he was done he embraced the applause.
"Wow, I am impressed Chase. Didn't know you have it in you." Will said, in awe.
"Moving on, next we have Dani Austin."
A girl with short, beiberish, dirty blonde hair came on stage. When she went on stage she heard some of the others snicker at her. She tried not to let it get to her.
Will grinned "And what are you going to be singing for us today." thinking in his head that it might be a train wreck.
Dani sighed before taking her guitar "I will be singing my own little rendition of Someone like you, by Adele." she said softly in the mic.
Will was a little shocked "Oh really. Well, let's hear it."
Dani strummed her guitar and when she began to sing, it silenced everyone. They didn't expect such a beautiful voice come from here.
When she was done, she seemed to shock everyone. They looked at her, in silence. Not knowing what to do or say.
She smiled at them "I know right." she joked into the mic. Causing everyone to burst out into laughter before they applaud her.
"Wow, I have to be honest Dani. I didn't expect that." Will said into his mic.
Dani nodded "I get that a lot."
"Thank you. Okay next we have...Tyson Young."
When Justice heard his name, she was a little taken back. She sat up straight in her seat, focusing on the stage.
When Ty walked on stage, he smiled to everyone, the searched the people for Justice. He looked up and spotted her in the back, he gave her a small wave. She ignored him, before leaning back in her seat, legs on the seat infront of her.
He got in his stands, waiting for the music to play. When it did he started to dance. He did a contemporary dance, as well as singing the song. While doing the number, he didn't take his eyes off of Justice the whole time. She was trying to ignore him but couldn't help but be impressed by him.
When he was done, the rest of them applauded for him. "Thank you." he said before bowing. When he got off stage he walked up the steps to where Justice sat, sitting next to her. "Fancy seeing you here."
"Yeah whatever." she said, turning to the stage.
"A double threat. Nice." Will said, getting even more impressed as everyone auditioned.
"Okay, can we have Noel Blake to the stage." Will announced.
Noel happily walked up on stage "Hello everyone." He said sweetly into the mic.
"Whever you are ready Noel."
Noel gestured for the piano man to play. He sang "Nobody knows me at all" by the weepies.
"Okay one more to go. Where is Justice Monco." Will announced.
Justice was shocked, and also embarrassed. She stood up and rolled her eyes as she made her way out of the exit. Before she could, Ty caught up to her, stopping her by taking her hand in his "Come on." He said.
"What did you do?" She asked sternly.
"While I was signing up...I sorta...also signed your name." Ty tried to explain without her getting any more mad at him.
"Why? I didn't want to sign up anyway." She said, trying to leave but Ty wouldn't let go.
"Yes you did. If you didn't then why were you looking at it. I know you were debating it." Ty said, trying to get her to stay.
"Tyson. You know how much stage fright I get when I try to sing infront of people. Besides I'm not even good." Justice said, looking back to her childhood.
"Yeah i know you were shy, but you have an amazing voice." Ty said, taking her other fish net stocking hand.
"How would you know I've never even sung for you." Justice said, curiously.
"Well yeah but...I life right next door. I hear you in your room all the time."
"You've eavesdropped on me?" She asked, annoyed.
"I'm sorry." was all Ty could say.
"I'm leaving." Justice said before rolling her eyes, letting go of his hands, turning away.
"Please." Ty said, making her stop again.
"Why?" She asked, frustrated.
"Because I know how much music means to you. I want you to be happy again." Ty said, walking up to her.
"I am happy." She said, turning around to him, giving him a fake smile.
"No you're not. Just, trust me. You'll do great." Ty said, trying to encourage her.
"What if I don't do great?" She asked.
"Don't say that. If you get nervous just close your eyes, think of a time or place that made you happy and just sing."
"Justice Monco? Are you doing this?" Will asked.
Justice looked to Will then back to Ty "Fine. If it'll make you shut up." she said while walking down the steps towards the stage.
Ty smiled while following her to the front. Sitting in the front row.
Justice walked on stage slowly, and nervously. "Um...I don't even know what to sing?" She said into the mic.
"Whatever comes naturally to you." Will encouraged.
Justice though for a few minutes. A song came to her and she looked to the piano guy. She whispered to him, he nodded before getting up off the bench. She smiled and sat down in his place. She placed her fingers on the keys ans started to play "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts. She closed her eyes as her fingers guided across the keys. When she started to sing, she felt like she wasn't singing it, like someone else was doing it for her. While playing she felt some tears come to her eyes, but she sang passed it. When she was done, her eyes stayed closed, not wanting to see or hear anyone. It didn't work because she could hear the other kids clapping and cheering. She slowly opened her eyes, a sigh of relief escaping her mouth before turning towards Will. She looked to Ty who had a proud look on his face then back to .
"Wow, I didn't know you had it in you. That was amazing." Will said, shocked.
"Thank you." Justice said shaky into the mic.
"Wow, all of you guy impressed me today. And in Glee club, we don't say no to anybody but in this case we wouldn't have to anyway. Congrats, you've all made it into Glee club. We meet everyday at lunch time, starting tomorrow. There isn't a lot of you so I hope to recruit some other students along the way. Feel free to bring along anyone who you think should be here. That it all, I should let you guys get home to your families." Will said before standing up, applauding everyone before leaving the room.
Matheus and Chase were waiting on a step that lead out of the auditorium.
"What are we waiting for?" Chase asked Matheus.
"I'm waiting for my sister. She came to auditions with me today, she's just talking to some of the other people.
"Oh okay. Who's your sister." Chase asked.
Matheus looked around and saw that Rona was coming towards them "Chase this is My sister Rona, Rona this is my new buddy Chase." Matheus said when Rona came up to them.
Rona smiled to Chase and extended her hand. He smiled back and shook her hand "Nice to meet you." Chase said, not able to look away from her.
"You too." Rona said, also not able to look away.
Matheus looked between the two, rolling his eyes at their gawking "Oh my, let's just get going." He said to them.
Rona pulled her hand back and looked to her brother "Oh, yeah sure."
"Hey, why didn't you audition?" Chase asked.
Rona felt herself blush "I...don't sing."
"Have you ever tried it?" Chase asked.
Matheus rolled his eyes "Oh please, she is a total liar. She could so sing. We used to be the leads at our old school."
"Why don't you join? I think it'll be great." Chase said, still not able to look away.
"Well maybe I will." Rona said, changing her mind.
"Cool." Chase said, smiling again.
Matheus rolled his eyes again "Oh please. Are you ready to go?" Matheus said, snapping Rona out of her trance.
She looked at Matheus again "Fine." she said before taking her bag off her seat.
"Hey, do you need a ride?" Matheus asked Chase.
"No, it's cool I drove to school."
"Oh okay. Well, see you tomorrow." Matheus said before patting him of the back while walking off.
Rona nodded "See you tomorrow." She said with a smile while passing Chase.
Chase turned and followed behind them until they got to their cars.
Ty caught up with Justice in the hall "Hey, I told you so." he said while walking beside her.
She looked up at him and gave him a small smile "Yeah you were right. Thanks for pushing me to do it."
"No problem. It's going to be worth it once we start winning some competitions." Ty said happily.
"Yeah i guess."
"So, are you not afraid of performing infront of people now?" Ty asked hopefully.
Justice looked to the floor as they walked out of the school "I am still terrified, but I think I could get used to it."
"That's good. So what made you pick that song?" He asked curiously.
Justice went silent.
"Sorry, I shouldn't..." Ty started, not wanting it to be awkward with them anymore.
Justice sighed before looked up to him "It's fine. I picked it because it's the song my mom used to sing me to sleep to before she..."
"Oh really. That's sweet."
"Yeah, it just came to me."
"I could tell the song meant something to you."
"Yeah it does."
"So, can I give you a ride?" He asked.
"Um, no I can walk." Justice said while they both stopped.
"No way. it's too far. Besides we are headed in the same direction anyway." Ty reminded.
Justice debated it in her head "Fine. Thanks."
"No problem." Ty said, smiling down at her before walking to his car. He walked over to the passenger side, opening the door.
Justice sighed "You've always been so corny."
"Yeah i know." Ty said, his face going red.
Justice let a smile appear on her face before getting into the car.
Ty smiled before closing it and going over to the driver side.
