FLASHBACK TO GLEE CLUB

Sophomore year

Day before tryouts.

"So how ya feeling about your tryouts tomorrow?" Sonic asked me.

I almost just about choked on my drink. "That's tomorrow?"

"Yeah dude. I hear Shadow's gonna sign up."

"Yeah right Sonic. Don't make me laugh." I smiled hiding the fact that I already knew that my brother was going to join the glee club. I think I was the one that talked him into it.

"I wasn't saying that to be funny. Oh my god you are so not up to date on the gossip. It's been going around the school."

"You…are such a chick Sonic."

"Im not the one who shouted 'im gay' in front of the whole school board."

"I didn't mean to do that. I just didn't know the microphone was on. And I blame you for that one."

"Blame me all you want. Doesn't hide the fact that it was you who said it."

"Im worried."

"Way to change the subject. But dude you'll do fine."

"I hope you're right about that one."

Sonic rolled his eyes.

Day of tryouts

My alarm clock rang, waking me up. The red glowing numbers said 'seven'.

My eyes shot open. "SEVEN!" I was so late. I only had thirty minutes until school started. Not to mention the tryouts for the glee club.

I got ready and headed to school. But half way there I noticed I was forgetting something. My backpack. So I flew home, grabbed it, and headed to school once again.

Once there I found my good friend Sonic. He was chillin by the doors of the auditorium.

"It's about time you got here. You're almost up." he said to me.

"Did you already go?"

"I was one of the first to go."

I looked away. "How do you think you did?"

"Pretty good."

"Good."

"Silver you're up." Amy said to me as she peeked her head out of the door. Then she went back inside to sit down.

I walked inside with Sonic. I noticed that the cheerleading coach was there along with the glee club teacher. A few of the ones that tried out were there.

Amber, the cheerleading coach, was only there to criticize the singers. She hated the glee club. I wasn't sure why. But I heard that most of her cheerleading team tried out for the glee club. I was one of them.

And Todd, the glee club and Spanish teacher, was one of the nicest teachers someone could have.

Legend tells that Todd and Amber had feelings for each other. But I didn't believe it for one minute.

"Okay Silver. Let's hear what you got." Todd said.

I shook in my boots from the look on Amber's face. it looked as if she were gonna kill me in my sleep. That or right then and there.

My song choice was Your Guardian Angel by Red jumpsuit apparatus.

I gulped.

"Go on Silver. It's okay you'll do fine." Todd encouraged me.

I exhaled and started my song. At first I was really shaky so I stopped. "Gomenasai." I apologized. "Can I retry that?"

"Sure." Todd nodded.

I turned around to the band. I nodded my head.

The music started to play once again.

I sang my song as perfectly as I could.

I swear to all hell down below that Amber smiled. And that's just scary.

We all had to pick a song that we could dance to. I decided on Shut me up by MSI. I picked a dirty song.

I pushed 'play' on the radio and my song started to play. Dancing wasn't really my thing but I'd get better at it as time went on.

Once I was finished I took my seat.

"What was that?" Amy asked me.

"What?"

"That song. You might not make it in now."

"But I can't help what I listen to."

"You could have picked something a little more school appropriate."

"And what did you do?"

"Well I sang Skater boi by Avril Lavigne. And danced to Keep holding on by Avril Lavigne."

"You like her don't you?"

"Yep."

"What about you Sonic?"

"I sang Dirty little secret by The all American rejects. And danced to Livin on a prayer by Bon Jovi." He said.

"Cool."

Day after tryouts

"I made it in!" Amy yelled.

"Me too." Blaze called.

"So did I." Sonic proclaimed.

I pushed passed the group of ignorant fucks that I called my friends.

Looking down the list of names I noticed that my name showed up. "Hey, Im in." I cheered.

In the glee club class room, Blaze got a few people to put on a skit that I just so happen to be in. The skit was Everyone's a little bit racist by Avenue Q.

Princeton- Silver

Kate Monster- Blaze

Gary Coleman- Mephiles

Brain- Shadow

Christmas Eve- Rouge

I don't know why she put it together. My guess was that it was just a fun little way to celebrate and to say that everyone was racist. don't really care about what the reason was.

Todd walked inside the classroom. "Okay. Im taking ideas. What artist do you like?"

"Avril Lavigne!" Amy yelled.

"Why does that not surprise me?" Sonic asked.

"Lady Gaga." I said softly.

"Queen." Blaze smiled.

"All American Rejects." Mephiles grinned.

"Kelly Clarkson." Rouge said.

"Okay that's good. Shadow you seem kind of quiet over there." Todd said looking at the football player.

"Shadow why did you even join?" I asked.

"Shut the fuck up little brother." Shadow swore.

I stood up. "What would mom say?"

Shadow got in my face. "Moms not here!"

I pushed Shadow away from me.

He came at me and tackled me to the ground and punched my face in a couple of times. Until Todd got him off of me.

Blaze helped me to my feet.

I started at my brother. "You fucking bitch. I hate when you do that." I growled.

Shadow gave me a cool calm and collected smile. "Don't bottle the anger up inside you. Let it out."

I made my move. But Blaze held me back.

"No Silver. He's not worth it." Blaze said, calming me down.

"But…" I trailed off.

"He's not worth it." Blaze repeated.

"You gotta have a girl hold you back? Oh my god that's just sad." Shadow laughed.

Blaze looked at him with anger. "Wanna die? You're brother wont stop me."

"Cool it Blaze." I said.

"You…you…! Erg." she walked away.

I looked at the ground.

Life just sucked ass. Fighting never solved shit. But it worked out for me in a way. Cuz it was about to go down.
