Cameron takes a picture of us in our pink shorts and we start practicing. When we are done, we walk out and Samuel nods at me to go into the boys dorm. He points to his bed and I sit up on it with my ipod. Alex walks in and Samuel walks out. Awkward. He sits on the edge of Samuel's bed and we are the only ones in the room. "I was wondering why you don't want to practice." I nod. "Because we have a week and a day before we perform it." He nods. "So we should practice." I shrug. "If we practice too much then it will be too perfect. We are not on Glee. We are on The Glee Project. We are meant to be ourselves and keep it real. How do we do that if we are too focused on the actual performance, we aren't going to be ourselves." He nods. "What if one of us forgets our lines? We will be standng there in front of Robert Ulrich and one of the stars of Glee. You want someone to make an ass of themselves because you didn't want to be too focused? maybe your just too laid back." I nod.
"Maybe I am. But If you can remember, I was the most scared for yesterday, Live on Good Morning America. None of us forgot any words and we were ourselves." He nods. "Whatever." He says and pouts. "Pouting doesn't work on me." I say and go to walk out. "Excuse me?" I turn around. "You heard me. You say your a diva. Diva doesn't work on me. So you can pout and you can do what you want and you can boss the others around, but not me Alex. I'm not that easy." I say and go to walk out when Samuel stops me. "Where are you going?" I nod. "My dorm." He has two cans of coke. Shame to leave him really. But i'd rather be by myself than take it out on someone. What I said to Alex was tough enough.
"Hey, are you ok?" I nod at Bryce. "Yeah, just had a little argument with Alex." He nods. "About time someone did." I smile and go to my dorm. "I thought you were gonna chill with Samuel?" I shrug. "Yeah, I was, but I don't wanna take my mood out on anyone." Alex comes though, stomping and cross. "I'll talk to you later." I say and he nods. I walk into the dorm and see Lindsay and Emily with Marissa. "Hey girls." They smile. "Whats up?" They shrug and show me the video from earlier. I nod. "He so likes you." I laugh at them. "Even if he did, and that's a big if. He won't now. I blew him off." They shrug. "Go get him." I laugh. "And look desperate?" They nod. "It's up to you what you do then , But we are going to practice." I nod. "Alex has you guys brainwashed too?" They laugh and I put my head phones in.
I sit and look at twitter, i reply to some tweets and smile. "You and Samuel Were SO CUTE TODAY! xoxoxo" I laugh at it and reply. "Nice meeting you, hope you enjoy TGP! x" I tweet back and keep tweeting. Samuel walks in with Damian. "Hey." I smile at them. "Hey guys." I say and look up Damian is now drinking my coke. I look at him and he laughs. "I tried to keep a straight face." He says to Samuel and they smile, Damien lies across the bottom of my bed and Samuel sits up beside me. "What are you doing?" I smile. "Replying to tweets." He nods. "More fun than hanging out with me, huh?" I laugh. "I pissed Alex off and didn't want to piss anyone else off." He smiles and Damian nods. "Your too considerate to be Irish." I laugh at him. "Or just to considerate." Samuel says and I smile. "Oh My God. Would you two please just make out!" We laugh at him. "we're just friends." I say and Samuel nods. "Yeah, just friends." Damian nods. "And I'm the Taoiseach." I laugh at him. Samuel looks at us. "It's like, the president of Ireland." I say to him. He nods. "Ok." I laugh at him. "How is Alex?" They nod. "Sulking." Samuel says. "Slagging you off." Damian says and I look at him. "What?" He nods. "He is saying mean things about you." I nod. "Great." I say. "You aren't going to fight back?" I shake my head. "He can call me what he wants. I don't really care." They nod. "Well Lindsay and Marissa are sticking up for you." I smile. "I better go give the dog a bone." I say and get up. Samuel looks at us. "She means go argue with Alex because that's what he wants." Samuel nods. "Fair play." They get up and I pull my hair into a bun.
"She was really bitchy and all like, Diva doesn't work on me." He says to them and I smile. "Cause it doesn't Alex." I say and he turns around. "At least i'm being myself." I nod. "What makes you think i'm not being myself?" He shrugs. "The fact you're hanging out with four others and not your self? Because three of them are boys? Or is that just who you are?" I nod. "Ohh Burn. I get on with them. Thats not my fault." He nods. "And don't even say whatever to me." I say and he turns back around. "Excuse me?" I smile. "You'll say whatever, I'll walk out and you can bitch about me? Yeah, not gonna happen. I have been myself and we are only two days in. You just want an argument because there is not enough drama here for you." I say and walk out. I run down the hall to the bathroom and lean against the door.
Oh. Shit. What. Have. I Done. Great. Everyone will hate me, nice one Nicola, very smooth. Tears start coming down my cheeks. Now you're crying, wow how great. and here comes that homesickness too. Yep. You should have stayed In Ireland and out of the competition Nicola. I say to myself. I go into the bathroom and get some toilet roll. I rub away the tears and look at myself in the mirror. The door opens and I see Cameron and Hannah. "Hey." I say to them. "You ok?" I nod. "Great. Never been better." they smile. "Yeah, so Alex is going crazy." I nod. "I shouldn't have took into him. Cameron looks up. "Oh no, he deserved it." I laugh at him and he fixes his hair in the mirror. "I mean come on, he basically said that you were after the guys in here." I nod. "And you have a girlfriend." I say to Cameron. "You're not my type anyway." I nod. "Yep, helping me loads right now." I say and a tear runs down my cheek. "I mean, your pretty, but your more like a friend." I nod. "That's all I want to be." Someone knocks the door. "Come in." I say and Samuel walks in. "Hi." I say and he nods. "hey." He wraps his arms around me and hugs me. I smile and stop to laugh at my self. "You ok?" I nod. "Yeah." He keeps his arm around me and Cameron nods at him. "Of course." Cameron says and he walks out. "What he said." Hannah says and follows him. I laugh at them and turn around to him.
"I miss home." I say and he smiles at me. "I get it." I laugh. "You live half an hour away. I live half a day away." He nods. "I know. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Toto." I laugh at him. "Toto? Yeah, that'll be your nickname. Miss T sounds pretty stupid." I nod. "Sure. Pink shorts." He looks down at his shorts." One to talk." I laugh and look at my pink shorts. "Whatever." I say and flick my hair. He laughs and we walk back out and go towards the choir room.
"They finally made out." Emily says, pointing to his arm around me. "We did not make out." I say and smile. "Where's Alex?" I ask them. "Boys Dorm." I nod. "i'll sort it out tomorrow. I'm to tired right now." I say and we sit down in the back corner. "I'm tired." I say and he nods. "To bad Toto. We need to work on this song." He says and I grab a song sheet from beside me and we practice. My ipod bleeps with a message from twitter. "It might as well be official. Nicola & Samuel are SOO! Together! 2 weeks till I see them on screen? Shoot me now." I look at him and he half smiles. "We have some dedicated fans." I say and Damian looks up. "No kidding. Look what wetpaint did!" I look up and he passes us his ipod with a video.
"Hello Gleeks i'm Jager Weatherby from and I have some news on the up and coming The Glee Project. -Relationship news that is! We've heard of Puckleberry and Finchel- But could it be time for Samola? Not Sam Evans and an exchange student if that's what your thinking. No, I am talking Samuel Larsen and Nicola McDowney from The Glee Project. Which hits our screens in two weeks. We found out who our final 12 are. At a signing after their performance on Good Morning America, Samuel and Nicola stood together for a photo together, where she casually put her arm on his shoulder and he put his arm around her back, and for those not familiar with the photo, here it is. How hot is that? and they only knew each other for less than 24 hours. Reports from the house today, including a video, posted by Lindsay on Nicola's twitter shows the pair of them laughing and at one stage, on top of each other. How hot. So is there a romance on the way? Watch this space and there twitters to find out!"
I look at it in shock and look at him. He laughs and so do I. "Hey guys, you ready for us to whoop your asses?" Marissa and Damien say to us. "You can try but we know you'll lose." I smile and we get up and he takes his arm off me. We walk to the girls dorm and play a game of pool.
"We whooped your asses, and we did it good!" Damien says. "So its a draw." I say and we sit up on my bed. "I'm going to go to bed." Damian says with a yawn. "Yeah, i'll go to." Samuel says and gets up. "Night guys." I say and they walk out. "Are you still denying that he likes you?" I nod. "He doesn't." She looks at me. "We were all sitting in the choir room and he got up to make sure you were ok, when you didn't cme back straight away with Cameron and Hannah." I smile. "Really?" She nods. "He said, "I'll see if she is ok" not them, Not the guys, you." I nod. "He was just being a good friend." I say and change into my pyjamas, so does she. "Goodnight Marissa." She nods. "Goodnight Nicola." She says and I turn the light off.
