Hey guys, so this chapter is the Homework assignment, but there are twists. I apologise to all Dani fans in advance. I got another review! Yay! Keep them coming. So, read on...


Mentor's POV

I stand by the door, waiting for my cue. It's such a nerve-wracking feeling, but it is also so exciting. I straightened my glasses and brushed off my jacket. Phew. It was an amazing feeling being here. My mind began to wonder to last year's contestants. Damian, Lindsey, Cameron… I was snapped back into reality when I heard the sounds coming from the other side of the door. I reached out, eagerly waiting for the knob to make contact with my hand. I knew what I was saying, what I'd do, what was gonna happen. I was ready…


Michael's POV

I was really shocked when he walked in the room. I clapped my palm on Blake's back. He was right, it was Kevin. I could see Nellie grinning. I inwardly sighed. Nellie. Just her name made the hairs on the back of my neck perk up. She was perfect. But I wasn't here to get with Nellie Vietenheimer, I was here to win.

"So obviously this is Kevin McHale who plays the smooth wheel-chair bound junior Artie Abraham on glee." Robert's soft introduction was soothing. Robert was such a nice guy. Just like Blake.

"I love being here. I was obviously here last season and I love being able to see the talent face to face and not… er…. Screen to face…" Kevin looked down to the floor. He reminded me of some of the guys here, but mostly he reminded me of my best friend from Chicago, Nathan. 'But Nathan's not here' I firmly reminded myself. 'Nathan's gone. And I need to move on.'


Kevin's POV

Dammit! I've messed up, just like I thought I would. I cleared my throat and continued:
"Tenacity is about not giving up. It's about fighting. I think I'm probably here because my character Artie has to fight everyday" I saw the bright-eyed Ali nodding. "When I started on glee, it was pretty hard. It felt like a battle. I had to have resilience and tenacity to keep trying to perfect choreography in my chair. I knew I had to keep going. I knew I could just get up and walk away. So I fought. And now it seems like I've been doing it forever. So, on that note, let's see fly!"


Dani's POV

Wow. Was this really happening? It was unbelievable. I glanced over at perfection who was standing on the far side of the stage. She probably didn't notice me. She probably didn't like me. I mean, come on. She might not even be on my team. Looking at her, it's obvious. She's straight. She wouldn't go for me. But I'm her-

I came to win, to fight

To conquer, to thrive

She opened her mouth and began to sing with such undying emotion that it made me feel light-headed. Callie then sung her solo, followed by Shanna. I knew it was my turn soon. But by the time I heard the music, my solo had gone. I stood there, paralysed. I didn't do it. I was too busy being engrossed in her face. I'd choked.


Charlie's POV

Angel away, Yeah, strange in a way

Mabye that's why I chase strangers away.

They got their guns out aiming at me,

But I become near when they're aiming at me-e-e-e

I finished my solo and went straight back to looking at Aylin. On my journey to her face wait… what? ( I've stopped making sense to myself anymore. ) I saw a frozen Dani Shay. Dani was pretty awesome, but she just epically choked. She forgot to sing. Too bad this was live.

Me, me me against them

Me against enemies, me against friends

Somehow they both seem to become one

A sea full of sharks and they all Smell blo-o-o-o-d yeah

Sigh. Aylin. Not only is she fearless, she's sexy. She is flirty, jaw droppingly gorgeous, talented and funny. She was everything. She was Aylin.


Aylin's POV

I shot a look at Charlie. Does he know how irritating it is to have a guy drooling over you while singing? Hell no. I mean, Charlie was hilarious and sweet. Anyone could see that. Heck, even Mario can see it! But he was no good at hiding his feelings. Let me re-phrase that, hiding his feelings FOR ME. Me? I don't get it. The dopey theatrical geek had the hot's for the flirty Turkish Muslim? I mean, I guess that's nothing. But how does Blake not notice me? We are great 'friends', but he doesn't see how much I like him. Or at least, he doesn't like me back. Wow, me and Charles have more in common than I thought…


Nellie's POV

I glanced over at Dani. She looked so disheartened. I felt terrible, seeing her like that. I mean, she was perfect. She was tenacious. She's fearless and beautiful and funny and talented and nice and aww... she looks as if she's about to cry. No Nel, you can't tell her. You can't. She probably has a girlfriend or is interested in someone else. Someone confiedent, someone as talented or as perfect as her. You are setting yourself up for humiliation. She's extrodanairy. Your just dull.


Dani's POV

Don't cry. You've learned that crying gets you nowhere. You're old enough now to learn from your mistakes and that's what you gotta do. I wonder why Nellie was looking at me. Probably blown away at how stupid I was. Or sorry for me. She could be sorry for me. I mean, I just messed that up big time. Pity.
