I'm glad you came.
He was called The ladies man, she was known as the Mattress queen. A match made in heaven or hell?
When she enters the stage, the astonishment he felt was gigantic; still, he keeps his cool. Seeing her walking, all happy and bubbly sent warning bells in his head. Even for a moment his mask slipped when she said, "My hobbies are cuticle care and the E-network" he just knew there was something wrong. They had talked for hours, he had appreciated how smart she was, then, why the lie? Maybe she was trying to fill in the stereotype the Bella's were seeking for, after all, her application was for them. Nonetheless, her reasons and estrange behaviour would mean nothing if the was awful at singing.
Just as everyone else she sang Kelly Clarkson's "Since you've been gone". Boy, did she sex it up! All the Trebles were having problems keeping a strait face. Unicycle seemed like a puppy in heat, even the gays Madonna's fan seemed flustered. He was absolutely flabbergasted; it was as if a spell had befallen every single man in the room, making them primates in heat. She was the goddess of sex; a promiscuous Aphrodite, an auburn veela and they wanted to taste her. As she finished, almost all the Trebles abandoned their seats, some giving excuses such as "bathroom brake", "grandma's calling", but Bumper, the only one aside from him not in heat, told them to sit down or be kicked out. Bumper would never admit it, but he liked his girls with meat, those skinny models seemed unnatural and sickly to him. Which was probably why he hadn't found Stacie that tempting, and for that Donald thanked God and every single angel in the sky.
"That's a Bella, man" he told him "she doesn't have great vocals, but her cuteness and sex appeal may hurt us with the judges, I wouldn't put it past Aubrey to prostitute her in order to reach nationals" Knowing Aubrey, Bumper was probably right. That woman had serious issues with defeat. They were so drastic that last year nationals had been a catastrophe. "I mean, the way she dances, one would think she was having an orgasm right there, really cheap man" That was too far, still, he preferred to let Bumper chatter, it seemed to bring the others back to reality, probably saving Stacie from another attempted rape. How many near assaults had she had? After all, she seems pretty calm last time. But dancing like that truthfully didn't help her case, but then again, living all your life looking over your shoulder probably wasn't living either.
Don't get him wrong; he truthfully didn't think they had it in them to actually rape a person, but then again, she was an enchantress. He wondered if maybe Stacie's wink had been for him. He has been in her line of sight, and she had smiled when she saw him. Would she remember him? Did she regret not asking his number? Had she been looking for him as much as he did her?
It's better not to dwell on those things, and the auditions had just ended, he really had liked the last girl, Beca, was it? One could hear the same song so many times before going crazy. Also the aca-initiation night was in a week, and Bumper had left everything for the last minute. If he was lucky, and he was pretty certain he would be, Stacie would be recruited as a Bella, and then, knowing Aubrey, they would be prohibited to even breath the same air. Which, as his obsession with her keep growing, was probably one of the best ideas.
Who would have thought that in just a week, he would make one of the three critical errors that would mark his life forever.
