Chapter 4

Ally knew what song she will perform. She has known that song by heart for several years now and only needed to rehears it a few times. It was Monday, classes were over and she had Mr. Shuster's permission to rehears a bit it choir room. Girl was sitting on the stool in front of imaginary glee club. Last song chords were vibrating round the room and than silence. After a few moments that silence was interrupted by the sound of closing door. Ally quickly opened her eyes and looked to see band members standing at the door.

-Sorry, it's 4 o'clock and at this time band has its rehearsal.

-Oh, - Ally quickly jumped off the stool, - sorry, I didn't know.

-It's okay, - the boy with bass guitar said, - were you rehearsing something for glee?

-Yeah, - girl said putting her guitar into the case, - I'm auditioning on Wednesday.

-Cool, - the boy smiled, - what are you singing?

-Iris.

-Need any help?

-No, - she quickly answered, but thank thought for a moment, took her phone and found a video, - can you help me to put this kind of performance? - She showed the video to the band.

-Yeah, sure, - the boy behind drums smiled, - just give us a moment to mesh.

-Key.


Wednesday

-Cherie, are you okay? - Kurt caught up with Ally, - you look awful.

Girl rolled her eyes.

-Yeah, thanks, - she said sarcastically.

-You know, what I mean: you're not wearing makeup, your undereye circles are almost black, your hair is in a ponytail and not in a good way and you look, like you haven't slept at all, - they were walking down the hall until they stopped in front of girls bathroom.

-Well, - Ally started and walked in with the boy.

Few girls glared at them and quickly walked away, when they ignored, and Ally just continued:

-Yesterday Sue asked me, why I don't wear cheerios uniform on daily bases, - girl spoke while taking her makeup bag out of her tote, - I told her, that I didn't want to be one of her minions and if she had a problem with it, than she could kick me out of the squad, - she said as she was applying concealer under her eyes, - I need to get a better concealer, - she muttered and frowned at herself, when saw, that makeup didn't do a good job covering her circles.

-And?

-And she didn't kick me out, instead she decided to torture me, - girl paused to coverer the zit on her chin, - during practice she: at first put Santana to the bottom of the pyramid, don't ask me why, than she made me do backflips for 5 minutes without a break, than she yelled at me all the time, after practice she said to stay and made me do the routine about hundred times and after I had to do flips till I twisted my ankle, - she harshly threw the concealer into her makeup bag and glared at her left foot.

-But you walk fine,- Kurt looked confused.

-Yeah, like'd give her the satisfaction, to see me suffer, - she rolled her eyes and finished putting eyeliner.- Today I overslept, if you can call that sleep, and didn't have time o do my makeup and hair, it's good thing I always carry a bit of makeup with myself, - she smiled putting mascara down and applying lipgloss.

Girl took the brush, combed her hair and put it into a high ponytail, than sat on the ground.

-What did you tell your parents? - Kurt asked sitting next to her.

-The truth, - Ally said with a small smile and rubbing her ankle, - that I twisted it during practice, - she added, when saw Kurt's face.

-Cherie, - boy smiled sadly, - do you want to grab some lunch, we still have 15 minutes, - he asked after a while of silence.

-Yeah, sure, - girl smiled and stood with a help of Kurt.

He took her arm supporting her and they walked out of the bathroom.

Mr. Schue walked into the choir room.

-Okay, kids, - he clapped and than saw something, - oh, sorry Ally, didn't see you there, - he repeated the same words to her with a sad smile.

-S'okay, - girl was sitting in front of others on a stool, - today's my audition day, - she reminded.

-Oh, yeah, - teacher scratched his head, - do you want to start?

-Yeah, I would like to get over with it; - she smiled, hiding her worry.

-Okay, than I'll talk after, - he sat next to Finn.

Ally thanked, turned round, took her guitar and summon guy with bass guitar.

-You can play the guitar, - Puck was surprised, - I'm so turned on right now, - he smirked.

-Down boy, - Ally smiled looking at him from behind her lashes, as she had bended her head to harmonize her guitar.

Only Santana, Mat and Mike understood the ambiguity behind her words, cause they laughed, oh and Puck, cause he, at first look confused, than smirked again.

-Okay, - girl said, - here's my audition song, I just want to remind people, that my voice isn't as good as any of you have.

Girl nodded, took a deep breath, closed her eye and started playing the guitar.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

She was looking at the string of her guitar, adrenalin circulating threw her body, she was afraid to look ant other and could feel, that her hands were a bit shaking and the little lump in her thought, but she sang and tried not to show any of it.

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

Somewhere in the middle of her lines, bass guitar joined her.

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

As she was singing the chorus, she could feel emotions filling her whole body; she forgot about other people sitting in the room and just sang her heart out with her eye closed.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

There was a bit longer guitars duet, than after the first chorus, and, as Ally raised her eye, panic ran through her body as she saw everyone's eyes on her, she quickly looked away and tried to compose herself. She heard how bass got silent for a bit, took a few silent breaths, focused on her guitar and played one last chord before the rest of the band joined them. She saw as they gave her encouraging smiles and just before room got silent, piano and plates started playing, so she closed her eyes and continued:

I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

She finished with so much emotion, that she could feel tears in her eyes. After music faded, room was silent and she took a deep breath before clapping forced her to open her eyes. Ally looked at cheering people a bit shocked as she didn't expect this kind of reaction.

-Well done, - Mr. Schue walked to her still clapping, - your voice isn't very strong, but your emotions and how you felt the music overpowered it, - he said squeezing her shoulder.

-I agree with Mr. Schue, - Rachel smiled, - you have a beautiful voice, not as good as mine, but it's just because you lack my years of training.

Few people rolled their eyes and Mr. Schue just said:

-Okay, thank you, Ally, it was really good, now, - he clapped again, - I have something to say, - suddenly he sounded worries, - Ally, is everything okay?

Girl was limping a bit, when she walked to her seat (next to Kurt) after hugging band for helping her.

-Fine..

-Yesterday, Miss Sylvester... - Kurt started, but Ally just glared.

-I said, I'm fine, - she told through her gritted teeth and than look to teacher, - you were saying…

-Yeah, - he shook of the thought he had, - okay, after this weeks fight, - he looked at Quinn and Santana, - and because we have a new member, – he flashed a smile to Ally, - I thought, that we need some bonding time, maybe a trip or... - he got lost in this thoughts.

-I think I know better ways, I'd like to bond with the new girl, - Puck smirked and bumped his fist with Matt.

-Ass, - Ally looked at him and crosses her arms on her chest.

-But I can be your ass, baby, - he winked at her.

-No, thank you, - she smiled politely, - I have my own one, don't need another.

Everyone started laughing, Puck was a bit taken aback by her answer, until her, no girl resisted Puchzilla charm.

-Wait, - suddenly Brittany said, - I'm confused, will Ally now have two buts?

Everyone's eyes were on the cheerio.

-Am, Mr. Schue, - Rachel suddenly raised her hand, - can we move on?

-Yeah, - teacher said, - as I was saying, bonding. Trip or help for elder, - everyone's eyes widened, - or a road trip, -the no's started, - or hiking or better, camping in the woods, - teacher smiled big, until he heard student's protests.

-Actually, I think that's a good idea, - to everyone's surprise Ally spoke, - well not the woods part, - she added, when saw, that everyone was looking at her, like she just grew second head.

-Really? - Mr. Schue was surprised too.

-Yeah, - she smiled to him, - there's this place, just a few hours from Lima, it's public, so we wouldn't have to pay or make reservations, but since it's September, people don't go there too much, cause it's too cold for them, - she joked and continued when saw, that people were interested, - there's plenty of space to set our tents and play some sports, we could have bonfire, oh and there's also a lake with a bridge or something, - she took a breath and continued, lowering her voice a bit, - we could go this weekend, cause it promises a good weather.

-That sounds awesome, Ally, - Mr. Schue was happy, - what do you think guys?

Smile from his face fell again, when he heard hesitative "I don't know", "mom wants me to do some chores" and etc.

-I think that's a great idea – Rachel said, - Don't you think that, Finn?

-I agree, - Kurt spoke before Finn could answer.

-I'm with Kurt, - Cedes smiled to Ally.

-Me too, it could be fun, guys, - Tina said.

-Count me in, - Artie high fived Tina.

-Yeah, me too, - Suddenly Mike and Matt said to everyone else surprise.

-Okay, that's settle than, now, I have teachers meeting in 5, so you guys think about everything till Friday and inform your parents. Bye guys.

Kids started drift away, Kurt, Cedes helping Ally and the three happily discussing, Rachel trying to convince Finn, that it'll be fun, Tina, Artie, Mike and Matt discussing, what they could do during their trip and others mostly whining, why they must go.


School was over and Ally was at her locker.

-See you tomorrow, gorgeous, - Puck passed her with a smirk.

-Don't call me that, - girl snapped at him.

Puck just laughed and went through the door. Girl hissed stomping her foot and shoved her history book into her locker.

-What was that all about? – Kurt was standing next to her with a surprised face.

-Nothing, - Ally said not looking at her friend.

-Yeah, - he snored, - like it's totally normal for girl to get angry because guy told her she's beautiful, - he rolled his eyes and raised and eyebrow.

Ally peeked threw her lockers door and sighed:

-Fine, - she looked around and locked her locker, - but you have to promises not to laugh, - she said earning even more raised eyebrow, - come on, - she took Kurt's hand and dragged him to nearest bathroom.

Then they entered, Ally looked around and then was sure, that no one was here, she just locked the door ant threw her tote on the sink.

-Spill, - Kurt ordered.

-Well, - Ally said, looked at him and knew, what she couldn't hide it from him, so she sighed and just said, - it's because I Am Gorgeous…

Kurt was surprised again and about to laugh, but Ally quickly said.

-No, not it that way, I'm Gorgeous, this is my last name, - she said and Kurt couldn't hold any more, so he just burst into a laugh, - Kurt! -she stomped her foot.

-Sorry, - he waved his hands, - sorry, it's just, - he couldn't stop.

Ally frowned and Kurt quickly composed himself apologizing one more time.

-So, that's your full name?

-Alice Gorgeous, - she glared, when saw, that boy was about to burst into another laugh.

-So, why do you ask everyone to call you Ally?

-Just I don't really think, that Alice fits me well, besides after "Twilight" mania, people associate me with Alice Cullen, - she breath out heavily.

-I can see the resemblance: the height, the temper, the grace, - he stopped when saw Ally's pursed lips, - sorry, - he grinned.

-Just promise not to tell anyone.

-Even Cedes?

-Even her, - she had those puppy eyes.

-Fine, - he sighed.

-Thanks, - she hugged him.


It was Friday. Yesterday, Kurt and Ally talked with everyone and after school they went to local coffee shop and planed their trip. They met during lunch and wrote a couple of details to their purple paper, where they planned the whole thing. And now was glee time and Ally was kinda late, so she almost ran into the choir room just to find, that Mr. Schue was late too. She breathes out and walked to the only free seat at the front row between Quinn and Rachel.

-Hey, gorgeous, - Puck greeted her from a few seat to the left.

-I thought I told you not to call me that, - she snapped sitting.

-Why? Don't like that I think that you're gorgeous?

-He's right, you know, you are gorgeous, - Matt said.

-Oh, you have no idea, - Kurt smiled mysteriously and everyone looked at him for explanation.

-Kurt, you say one more word and I'll shave your head, - Ally snapped looking at him, - and believe me, you won't be able to rock that look, - she added, when saw, that he was about to protest.

Everyone's laugh was interrupted as Mr. Schue entered.

-Sorry I'm late, Sue decided to lock me in teacher's room, - everyone tried not to laugh, - okay, soo, did you thought about our trip?

-Mr. Schue, - Ally spoke, - we kinda planed everything, - she looked at Kurt.

-Am, fantastic, - he was a bit confused, but than smiled, - let's hear it.

Few were about to protest, but decided to listen.

-Of course, anyone, who thinks they have a better idea are welcome to interrupted, - girl said before starting, - do you want to explain?- she looked at Kurt.

-No, go, Cherie, - he smiled.

-Okay, so first, - she started and took her papers, - we thought, that we need to decide, who will ride with who, so we thought, that we could put most of the stuff to Finns car, Rachel said, that you have a truck, - Ally looked at him.

-Yeah, but it's kinda in a bad shape, so it's in work shop, - he said.

-Oh, - Ally said and quickly scratched something out of the paper with her black fluffy ended pen, - okay, -she smiled after a moment, - I have another idea, Mike, - she looked at the boy, - you have van right?

-Actually, it's my dads, but yeah, why?

-Well, I thought, that you could take Finn, Rachel, Tina, Cedes and Artie with yourself, I think, that Artie's chair would kinda fit in a van right?

-I think so.

-Could you borrow it from your father for the weekend?

-Yeah sure, my dads at business trip, so he doesn't need it.

-Cool, thanks, - she smiled and continued, - okay, than, since we have to make changes, than Kurt, we will take the majority of stuff in your car and, Matt, you have a pretty big car too, right?- as he nodded she continued, - we thought, that you could take Puck, Quinn, Santana, Brit and Sam with yourself.

-Kay, - he smiled.

-Great, Mr. Schue, are you going to be alone?

-No, I forgot to say, guys, Miss Pillsbury will come with us.

Ally nodded and ignored whispering around her.

-Okay, so guess you'll ride with her and you think you could take the stuff, that wont fit into Kurt's car and Mike's and Matt's trunks?

-Yeah, sure.

-Okay, everyone agrees, or someone has some complains? - When everyone shook their head girl wanted to continue, but Puck said:

-Wait, with whom will you ride?

-With Kurt, - she said it like it was the most obvious thing, - we'll ride in front to show the way, - she smiled to Kurt, - okay now, tents. I think everyone agreed with this yesterday, -she saw, that people were nodding, - we decided on this, - Ally explained to teacher, - Tina and Rachel, Finn with Artie, Mike, Matt, Puck and Sam, since Sam has a huge one, - she smiled at him and he smiled back, - and cheerios in their tent, - Ally smiled.

-You're cheerio too, remember? - Santana said with her bitchy tone.

-She is? - There were a few surprised people.

-You are? - Mr. Schue was surprised too.

-Yeah, but I wont be sleeping with them, their tent is only for three, - she was interrupted again.

-Than with whom are you going to sleep? - This time it was Sam.

-With Kurt and Cedes, - she said with the same "it's obvious" tone.

-No, sorry, I don't this so, Ally, - Mr. Schue said.

-Why? - She was surprised.

-Now, I won't have boys and girls in the same tent.

-Oh please, - Kurt rolled his eyes.

-No offence, but I don't think, that THAT will be a problem.

-Yeah, besides, I doubt that boy would like to sleep with me, - Kurt said.

All the boys seem to be a bit uncomfortable.

-Don't worry, Mr. Schue, we won't do anything naughty, unless you think, that manicures and pedicures are something naughty, - she joked.

-Well, okay, - he gave in.

Ally beamed, but continued.

-Okay, so we thought, that we should collect some money and buy food for everyone, what do you think? - she received a few nods and some asked how much, - I think, that 10 bucks from each would be enough, - she looked round and saw, that people were looking to their wallets, so she smiled and continued. - Okay, so does anyone want to take charge of food?

-I can, - Rachel said, but was interrupted.

-No way, - Santana said giving Kurt the money, - If I have to be with you the whole weekend there's no way I'm eating rabbet food, - she bitched out.

People agreed giving Kurt the money. Boy looked at her and Ally just sighed.

-Although, I think you are too harsh for Rachel, - brunet smiled at her, - me and Kurt can take the charge, does anyone have a problem with that?

-Nope, - Mike smiled and was followed with other no's and shaking heads.

-Okay, Brittany it's 10 bucks, not 10 cents, - Kurt rolled his eyes.

-Sorry, money confuses me, - she said as Santana helped her with the money.

-Okay, does anyone have any requests, I know, that Rachel is a vegan, - Rachel flashed a thankful smile, - anyone else?

Everyone shook their heads; Ally wrote something into her papers and continued.

-Finally, when do we meet? I thought about 6 or 7 am, since its a few hour drive, people can sleep during the ride and we could switch drivers. We would be around 9 at the place, so we would have plenty of time to camp.

-Are you crazy, 6 am?

-Does this time of day even exist?

People started shouting.

-Okay, okay, 8 am, but we will need to speed to get there at least at 10, - she frowned.

-Guys, - finally teacher said something, - 8 sharp be at school, right? - He looked at Ally.

-Actually, we thought, that it'll be better to meet at mall's parking lot, cause it's on the way, - Kurt said, taking his last money.

-Okay, 8 am SHARP in mall's parking lot with your stuff, everyone understood?-Mr. Schue ordered

He received a few nods, whines and than he let everyone go.
