Chapter 3: Ispirazioni Vocal!
"And that's allowed?" Sunshine asked.
"You betcha it is. We just need twelve members and a director. So until then, adios!" Harmony hung up.
'Another Glee Club? What would Rachel think?'
Sunshine didn't want to join chorus, but she didn't want to quit singing. Would the new Glee Club be her route?
Sunshine was then on her laptop, after her mother set up the internet service while she was in school. She looked up "Rachel Berry" on Facebook, seeing if she was available. Awkwardly enough she was. Sunshine decided to send the little spotlight-crazed girl a private message.
To: Rachel Berry
From: Sunshine Corazon
Subject: Thanks :)
Hey I just wanted to let you know that I was greatly appreciative for what you have done for me and Harmony. And just in case you didn't know, I'm being totally sarcastic.
In a matter of minutes, Rachel Berry replied back.
To: Sunshine Corazon
From: Rachel Berry
Subject: re:Thanks :)
I hate to say this but the only reason you weren't accepted was because of me. I don't want you or that other girl in Glee. I know this may sound very bitchy of me to say, but without you in Glee Club; we work better that way. Me and my boyfriend Finn have received plenty of solos, leads and duets and I'm honestly not going to give that up to some newbie who thinks she can just walk in here and take it all away from me. I know it's a little harsh but these are the steps that I'm taking to become a young ingenue, and it's unfortunate for you and Harmony are the bridges that I have to burn so DEAL WITH IT! You should try to audition in your senior year, you'll have a bigger chance of getting in whenever I'm not there.
Sunshine was surprised to have read such a crazy message. All the things that Hank said about Rachel seemed to be true. Who knew someone could be so crazy and competitive?
'Looks like I'll just have to make my own spotlight', Sunshine thought to herself as she closed her laptop.
First period hadn't started yet and the students were roaming the halls. Sunshine had walked to school so she could get there early to talk to Harmony. She finally found the brunette by her locker.
"Harmony!" Sunshine said as she found her. "If we're going to do this, we can't let the New Directions know. Rachel would do anything to stop us."
"So is that a yes I hear?"
"It is for me!" interrupted a voice. The girls turned and noticed Sugar Motta. She was the definition of snotty. Harmony recognized her from her Algebra I class, and she wasn't the brightest bulb in the room.
"I don't think so. I heard your rendition of Circus from the hallway. Give me a good a reason why we should. " Harmony let down nicely.
"Number One: I'm taking vocal lessons by the former Vocal Adrenaline Coach, Shelby Corcoran, to make my voice a thousand times better than it already is. When she coached them, they won four national championships. Numero Due: I'm pretty sure you guys need some denaro to pay for the expenses. My dad owns the "Motta's Piano" store and we're ricco sfondato."
"Which means?" Harmony asked. The girls both took Spanish, and knew some of what Sugar was saying to get an understanding. But Italian and Spanish have their differences.
"We're filthy freaking rich! Don't you see me with this Prada Bag in my hand?"
"Okay, you're in." Sunshine said reluctantly.
"Yay! Keep me posted!" Sugar said excitingly as she ran off.
"Are you kidding me? She's basically tone deaf. Sure she might be able to have some talent once Shelby Corcoran is done with her, but chances of that are slim to none."
"We need the money Harmony! Once we get enough members, she'll be tuned out." Sunshine reassured.
"Wow, that's pretty clever."
"I know."
It was the last block of the day, and since Sunshine didn't have a P.E credit; she was transferred out of her Microsoft class and placed in P.E. Luckily, Harmony was in her class as well. It was a workout day, which meant that the class could do whatever they wanted as long as it was physical. While Sunshine was playing volleyball, Harmony left to go get a drink of water by the water foundation near the boy's bathroom. While sipping on the water, she heard a lovely tenor voice behind the boy's bathroom door. It sound like he was washing his hands.
Guy:
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Harmony waited by the door idly as the young male had left the bathroom. He looked a little old to be a freshman, he was probably a junior or senior in the advanced P.E class.
"Well, well, well. That was interesting." Harmony complimented as she clapped her hands softly. Sunshine noticed Harmony and the guy and approached the two. His skin was olive-toned and his eyes looked gray but that could be because of the gray P.E uniform he's wearing. His hair was brown and boy was it perfect in every possible way.
"What's going on?"
"That's what I'm trying to find out."
"How would you like to join Glee Club?"
"You mean the club that Finn Hudson's in? No thanks. I like my face to be slushie free."
"Not his Glee Club, I mean the Glee Club that me and my fellow friend here are trying to start. We currently have three members."
"And if I say no?" the brown-haired boy asked. Harmony and Sunshine glanced at each other with out an answer. "Well then, I guess I'll be on my-"
"We'll tell everyone in the gym that you're gay!" Harmony interrupted just before the boy had left.
"H-how did you know?"
"Oh come on! Who sings Lady Gaga in the boy's bathroom alone? And with hair like that; you look way too good to be straight! And let's face it, the school isn't very kind to homo-sexual males..."
"Fine, I'll join."
"Great. We'll keep you posted for more information." The boy sighed.
"By the way, what's your name?" Sunshine asked him.
"Matthews, Draiden Matthews. But my friends call me Dray."
"I'm Sunshine and that's Harmony."
"And if you know any other talented performers, ask or bribe/blackmail them to join too!" Harmony suggested as they all left the hallway. Only eight more members until the club can qualify for the competition.
"How could you do that to him?"
"If you gave into Sugar's bribe just so we have the budget covered, I can blackmail the gay guy." Harmony replied. True, Sunshine felt a little bad for giving into a bribe just so they can get the expenses paid for; but the blackmail was a bit personal.
Just before Sunshine and Harmony could begin their activities, they were pulled to the side by none other than Sue Sylvester.
"Well what do we have here? Mini-Berry and Charice 2.0 are wanting to make another Glee Club!" she announced. It seemed every time the cheer leading coach mentioned the phrase "Glee Club", it was with anger.
"Well, y-yeah." Sunshine hesitated.
"Let me tell you something. Principal Figgins already has enough on his plate with one horribly-ran Glee Club, not to mention the deduction that Sponge-Hair Square-Chin and I got from our budgets because of the new beast of a football coach. You won't even have enough money to make it to Sectionals, let alone Regionals and Nationals. And that's if you make it to Sectionals."
"We already have the expenses covered." Harmony announced.
"You still need ten more members!"
"Actually we only need eight more, we had just recently recruited our fourth member." Sunshine corrected.
"You work fast, and I'm impressed by your initiative. But what about a director? What teacher here is going to want to coach another Glee Club?" Harmony and Sunshine once again glanced at each other without an answer. "Exactly what I thought. With no director, there's no club. This conversation is over ladies. I am, however, looking for assistants for the Cheerios. Someone to wash my dedicates, and the locker rooms. Not to mention the uniforms for the JV team, I swear some of them are drag queens. Any of you two are interested? No? Okay then. Ta ta."
"What is she?" Sunshine asked Harmony.
"Evil with a twist." Harmony replied as they watched the crazed coach leave.
It's yet another day in Biology, and the Glee Club only had four members. Not even a director nor a name, just four people. Mrs. Carlisle began lecturing on mitosis and meiosis, which bored Sunshine and her table partner out of their minds. A piece of notebook paper was then slide across to Sunshine by Hank.
How are you paying any attention to her? :P
Sunshine decided to write back, strangely enough. Usually she'd throw it away or answer later but since she was already lying to her mother, why not break any more rules?
Who says I was paying attention? I zoned out before she even started XD
How did Glee Club go?
You were right about Rachel. She told the whole Glee Club that me and Harmony were too scared to join; yet she told me and Harmony that they didn't want us around, just so we wouldn't come back.
Told you so :P
Meanie :P
What are you going to do then?
Well if I tell you, I might have to kill you XD
Then tell me, anything is better than Mrs. Carlisle XD
Me and Harmony had formed our own Glee Club. We only have four members, but we need a director.
"Sunshine, can you remind the class what mitosis produces?"
"At the end, there are two daughter cells that are genetically the same as the mother cell." Sunshine explained.
"And to think you weren't paying attention." Mrs. Carlisle began before she continued to lecture.
What about the chorus teacher? Sure she's in her late 50's but that doesn't mean she isn't right for Glee Club.
What if you joined? You already have experience :D
Little experience and I mean very little. Last year, we placed second in Sectionals. We haven't been able to place first at Sectionals since 2005 until New Directions did last year.
Please, would it really kill you to join? I'm practically begging on my knees here. I bet you're a pretty good singer too..
Well you guys could use some help, but if I don't like it then I'm out. O U T out!
Thanks!
Sunshine began smiling, finally taking her attention to Mrs. Carlisle. Sure they didn't have a director, yet, but at least they had five members now; which was good enough for Sunshine.
For the remainder of the day, Sunshine had thought of ideas as to who could be the director of the newest Glee Club. She heard that an older teacher, named Mr. St. Pierre, had a lovely voice but was unfortunately in rehab. Talk about a teacher with problems.
The bell had rang and Sunshine and Harmony were on there way home. Sunshine had told Harmony and Sugar about their new recruit, which both seemed pretty excited for. As Sunshine and Harmony passed by the choir room, they began to hear someone singing.
They looked inside to see who was singing. It was Ms. Holly Holiday; the best substitute teachers a student could have. She was with three girls; all which were brunettes. Sunshine knew Megan, the girl that called her "Asian Beret" at lunch during the first day. Caterina, or Cat by her friends, was in Harmony's Algebra I class. She looked like a brown-haired Ariana Grande. The other girl was a complete stranger to both Sunshine and Harmony and looked like a identical twin to Lucy Hale.
Holly:
Underneath the city lights
There is a world few know about
Where rules don't apply, no
And you can't keep a good girl down
Megan:

As soon as the song was over, the Lucy Hale doppelganger had spotted Harmony and Sunshine immediately.
"Looks like we've got fans." she announced in a witty tone.
"Or stalkers." Ms. Holiday added.
"We have stalking fans? We're famous!" Cat squealed.
"Sunshine? What are you doing here?" Megan asked as she finally realized that Sunshine was one of their "fans".
"We were just walking by and heard you girls sing. You're good, really, really, good."
"Aww thanks."
"Why are you guys singing anyway?"
"Well, little Miss. Nosy, they're in chorus and that old hag of a teacher doesn't do anything. It's basically a free study hall. I was subbing for her today, and actually made the class sing."
"They didn't like it." Cat added as she shook her head in concern.
"These girls are something though." Harmony and Sunshine then glanced at each other with a smirk.
"Say, how would you guys like to join Glee Club?" Harmony asked the girls.
"The one Mr. Schuester's directing? No thanks."
"No, we're making our own." Sunshine announced.
"Who's the director?" Ms. Holiday asked.
"We don't have a director just yet. And we still need seven more members if we want to qualify for Sectionals. If we're good enough, we could make it to Nationals in New York!"
"New York! That sounds like so much fun! I'll join, I'll join!" Cat squealed again excitingly. "And maybe Ms. Holiday could be our director!"
"Would you?" Harmony asked.
"I thought you'd never ask." Ms. Holiday replied with a smirk.
"What about you guys? Megan? Brooke?"
"I'm not sure yet."
"I'll think about it." Brooke replied.
"Well whatever your decisions may be, just promise not to tell a member of New Directions. Rumors spread like wildfire and before you know it, that diva of a girl we all know as Rachel Berry will do anything in her power to stop us." Harmony informed.
"At least, not until competition starts. After that, I really don't care if she knows or not." The three brunettes and Ms. Holiday had nodded in agreement to the requests of Harmony and Sunshine.
"How many members do you have?" Megan asked.
"Five. Three girls and two boys."
"Names?" Ms. Holiday asked.
"Hank Saunders, Draiden Matthews, Harmony and I and Sugar Motta."
"Sugar can't sing to save her life. I remember her at the Belleville Middle School talent show. H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E." Ms. Holiday blurted out loud.
"Unless you want to pay for the expenses like buses, outfits and plane tickets, Sugar has to be in the club." Harmony explained.
"She's an amazing dancer, so I've heard." Cat added awkwardly.
"You do realize we'll have to tell Principal Figgs about this. Otherwise, it isn't official." Brooke informed.
"Oh crap." Harmony and Sunshine said simultaneously
Then it happened. The club's very first meeting. Ms. Holiday had called all of the Glee Club members, including Sugar Motta reluctantly, to meet today. After school let out, the members have decided to meet in the auditorium. Harmony and Sunshine sat in the first row, with Hank sitting beside Sunshine. Draiden sat beside Harmony. In the second row, Cat, Sugar and Megan sat beside each other in that order.
Ms. Holiday was the last to enter, as she marched down the aisle in her black boots.
"Welcome kids to the very first Glee Club meeting, directing by moi." Ms. Holiday introduced. "I'm Ms. Holiday, just in case you didn't know me; but most of you do. First order of business, what's the name for this group? Then maybe we can go get some burritos or something."
"Harmony!" Harmony yelled excitingly.
"Fluffy Bunnies." Cat suggested.
"Oh god." Hank muttered.
"Something that doesn't make us sound gay please!" Draiden blurted.
"Said the gay kid." Harmony whispered to Sunshine. Draiden had kicked Harmony slightly in her shin.
"Ispirazioni Vocal." Sugar yelled.
"Which means?" Megan asked.
"Vocal Inspirations. I took a basic class of Italian during college because my hot boyfriend during the time." Ms. Holiday translated. "Anyway, since that's the best we can do for now; we're the Vocal Inspirations."
"But what do you know about music? You're like old, you know?" Sugar asked.
"What do I know? I might be old but my music isn't." Ms. Holiday asked as she walked onto the stage. On the piano was a CD Player that played the instrumental to "Breakout" by Katy Perry.
Ms. Holiday:
Every week's the same
Stuck in school, so lame
My parents say that I'm lazy
Getting up at 8am's crazy
Tired of being told what to do
So unfair, so uncool
The day's too long
And I'm holding on
Till I hear the bell ring
Cuz it's the time when we're gonna
Vocal Inspirations' Girls:
The time when when we're gonna
By then, it was a huge jam out session with every dancing and singing,
Ms. Holiday with Vocal Inspirations:
Breakout
Let the party start
We're gonna stay out
Gonna break some hearts
We're gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart
Uh, oh, all over again
We're gonna wake up everyone we know
We're gonna have some fun
Gonna loose control
Ms. Holiday:
Feels so good
To let go-oh-oh
Harmony and Sunshine:
Hangin' out is something we like to do
Draiden and Sugar:
My friends and mess we get into
Megan and Cat:
These are the lessons that we choose
Hank:
Not a book full of things we'll never use
Vocal Inspirations:
The day's too long
And we're holding on
Till we hear the bell ring
Draiden and Hank:
Cuz it's the time when we're gonna
Vocal Inspirations' Girls:
The time when when we're gonna
Vocal Inspirations:
Breakout
Let the party start
We're gonna stay out
Gonna break some hearts
We're gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart
Uh, oh, all over again
We're gonna wake up everyone we know
We're gonna have some fun
Gonna loose control
Feels so good
To let go-oh-oh
The jam out session was over, before the song could even finish. Everyone was panting and smiling at how awesome they all sound together.
"Wow, you guys are good. And Sugar, I see those vocal lessons are going great! Now that I know that most of you can sing, let's audition."
"Audition?" they all asked simultaneously.
"Of course. You all only sung that song because it's catchy and I was already singing. Let's try singing something you feel comfortable with for a change. Since Harmony and Sunshine are our founders, they won't have to audition. Sugar, I know what you're capable of so don't even worry about it. Everyone else, good luck. You will all do great, hopefully."
"What happens if we don't do well with our audition?" Megan asked.
"Oh you will, trust me. If you can pull something off like that in just a matter of minutes, you can sing a song by yourself." Ms. Holiday encouraged. And thus, William McKinley High School's second Glee Club was officially created.
