Hiya! Next chapter is here- and Im pretty sure it's the longest yet. Of course, the word count is padded by song lyrics... This is part one of the 2 part auditions. We only see a few characters here, but we'll see the rest in part 2. No reviews for last chapter :( and no new characters :(. So I'm still hovering at 14. (There's one guy who isn't on the sign up list yet. You'll meet him a little later.) But I still need one more character! I own none of the songs used in this chapter. I did listen to all of them though :) And I did cut off some of the lyrics in some of them, just so they wouldn't be so long. If the lyrics are messed up, blame the Internet not me. Guess that's all so enjoy!
Sue Sylvester looked deadly serious as she stared at the cheerio captain before her. "Calypso, I have mission for you of utmost importance. "
The brunette nodded at her coach's words.
"It seems the atrocity known as glee club has decided to reform, like a big pimple that just won't go away no matter how many times you pop it."
"That's awful coach." Agreed the cheerleader.
"I know it's awful! Which is why I'm sending you in to infiltrate the glee club from the inside."
"You want me to join glee club?" Callie questioned.
"Yes. I want you to destroy them from the inside out." Confirmed Sue.
The head cheerleader nodded. "Ok. You can count on me Coach."
"Hey Skylar!" Callie Noble called, catching up with her twin brother.
"What?" Asked the boy.
"Well, I was signing up for glee club..."
"You're doing glee club?" Interrupted her brother.
"Yes. Coach Sylvester wanted me to- long story." She continued, "Anyway, you'll never guess whose name I saw on the list?"
"Who?" Asked Skylar, his curiosity sparked.
"Savannah Grant. That girl you always talk about."
"Really?"
Callie rolled her eyes. "Yes really. I take that I'll see you at auditions this afternoon then."
"You bet. See you there Sis."
Mr. Shue sat down in the auditorium, list in his hands.

He smiled up at the stage where the children were waiting back stage. "Any volunteers to go first?"
A girl with shoulder length ginger hair and blue eyes stepped out onto the stage.
"I'm Astrid Hawkins and I'll be singing Bulletproof."
"Good luck Astrid." Said Will cheerily.
She confidently strode to the microphone and motioned for the music to start.
Been there, done that messed around
I'm having fun, don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
I won't let you in again
The messages I tried to send
My information's just not going in
Burning bridges shore to shore
I break away from something more
I'm not turned on to love until it's cheap
Astrid smiled and sang out, gaining confidence as she continued. It felt really good to be on stage.
Been there, done that messed around
I'm having fun, don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
I won't let you turn around
And tell me now, I'm much too proud
To walk away from something when it's dead
Do, do, do your dirty words
Come out to play when you are hurt?
There's certain things that should be left unsaid
Tick, tick, tick, tick on the watch
And life's too short for me to stop
Oh baby, your time is running out
I won't let you turn around
And tell me now I'm much too proud
All you do is fill me up with doubt
She belted out the last lines, wanting to finish strong. Her voice filled the auditorium.
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
Will stood up and cheered for her. "Very well done Astrid. Thank you very much."
She nodded and left the stage, feeling confident in her performance.
Savannah Grant was the next to take the stage. She seemed less confident then the girl before her, but prepared none the less. "Hi, uh, I'm Savannah Grant."
Will nodded. "Hi Savannah. You can start whenever you want"
She hesitated only a second before beginning.
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
Her voice lacked the power of Astrid's before her, but it was more sweet and melodic. She hit every note with ease.
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
She too gained confidence as she continued, getting stronger as the song ended.
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
"You sounded so great!" Beamed Riley, throwing her arms around her friend.
"Thanks." Replied Savannah.
"Hey Savannah! You were awesome!" The girl turned around to see football player Skylar Noble approaching them. "Like really really awesome."
Savannah blushed slightly. "Uh thanks Skylar."
"I only hope I sound that good on my audition." He continued.
"That's great." Said Riley sharply, "Shouldn't you go warm up or something?"
"Yah I guess." He flashed Savannah a sweet smile. "I just wanted to congratulate you."
"Well uh, thanks again."
Riley watched Skylar walk away.
"Well, he seemed creepy."
"I think he's nice." Savannah countered.
"He seemed mostly creepy."
Savannah shrugged. "I think he might've liked me? Did you get that impression?"
"Who cares? He's an idiot anyway."
"He's kinda cute."
Savannah missed the flash of sadness in her friend's eyes. "Him? Eww. You can't be serious."
Savannah shrugged again. "I'm not saying I'm going to go out with him or anything. I'm just saying I thought he was nice."
"Well whatever. I think he's creepy and an idiot."
Savannah laughed. "You think everyone's an idiot."
"So?"
Skylar Noble took the stage next, a confident grin on his face.
" What's your name?" Asked Mr Shuester.
"Skylar Noble."
"Great. Well Skylar, begin whenever you are ready."
Oh, I just wanna take you anywhere that you like
We could go out any day, any night
Baby I'll take you there, take you there
Baby I'll take you there, yeah
Oh, tell me tell me tell me how to turn your love on
You can get, get anything that you want
Baby just shout it out, shout it out
Baby just shout it out, yeah
He danced around slightly as he sang, looking like he was enjoying himself all the while.
And if you, you want me to
Let's make a move
Yeah, so tell me girl if every time we
To-o-uch
You get this kinda, ru-u-ush
Baby say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
If you don't wanna, take it slow
And you just wanna, take me home
Baby say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And let me kiss you
Will noticed he glanced backstage occasionally, as if searching for someone.
Oh baby, baby don't you know you got what I need
Looking so good from your head to your feet
Come a come over here, over here
Come a come over here, yeah
Oh, I just wanna show you off to all of my friends
Making them drool down their chinny-chin-chins
Baby be mine tonight, mine tonight
Baby be mine tonight, yeah
And if you, you want me too
Let's make a move
Riley watched Skylar perform from the side of the stage, scowling. She didn't trust something about him. Actually, she didn't trust anything about him.
Yeah, so tell me girl if every time we
To-o-uch
You get this kind of, ru-u-ush
Baby say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah
If you don't wanna, take it slow
And you just wanna, take me home
Baby say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And let me kiss you
"That was quite the performance. And I thought One directions fan base was made up of only obsessive teenage girls."
Skylar looked up, startled. "Uh thanks Riley."
"Why are you all over Savannah?" She asked bluntly.
Skylar was taken aback. "I'm not all over her."
"So you weren't trying to flirt with her earlier?"
"No..." He trailed off unconvincingly.
"Well admit or not, doesn't matter to me." She continued, "What matters is that whatever game you're trying to play with her, you quit it."
"I'm not trying to play games with her. Everything I said was sincere. Promise."
Riley snorted. "You're a football player and your sister is head bitch. You think I believe you have a single sincere bone in your body?"
"I'm not anything like my sister."
"Sure you aren't."
Skylar was getting fed up. "Why do you care anyway?"
"Because I don't want you to hurt my best friend."
"I would never hurt Savannah. Don't you think you're being a little possessive? Savannah can take care of herself."
Riley glared at him. "I know she can. But we've always been there to take care of each other and I'm certainly not stopping that now. I can't help it if she can't see through how 'cute' and 'nice' you are."
"She said I was cute and nice?" Skylar smiled.
"Just shut up and back off." Riley said, promptly storming off.
Calypso Noble took the stage after her brother, looking just as confident, but slightly less cheery.
Will watched her prepare to sing. He hadn't expected the head cheerleader to be here, and he was a little suspicious, but he wanted to give everyone a fair chance anyway. "Whenever you're ready Callie." He told her.
I stare at my reflection in the mirror
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error
I nearly left the real me on the shelf
No, no, no, no, no
Don't lose it all in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing
Everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are
She ruled the stage with ease. She never slowed not shied, but pressed on unwaveringly.
Who you are, who you are, who you are
Who you are, who you are, who you are
Who you are, who you are, who you are
Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah
The more I try the less it's working, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause everything inside me screams
No, no, no, no, no
Don't lose it all in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart
But tears don't mean you're losing
Everybody's bruising
There's nothing wrong with who you are
Mr. Shue was surprised at how passionate the girl seemed, despite her early apparent attitude. She seemed to be really enjoying herself.
Yes, no's, egos, fake shows like boom
Just go and leave me alone
Real talk, real life, good luck, good night
With a smile, that's my home, that's my home, no
No, no, no, no, no
Don't lose it all in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing
Everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well there you go! Review :)
