In this chapter I voice a lot of other characters, so tell me what you think about them!
And i'd like to give a big thank you to Sebastianshark for the detailed review
I will be taking your opinions into account
and thanks to all the others who have reviewed it means a lot
read on!
"Regionals!" Mr Schue beamed enthusiastically after he scribbled the word on the board behind him. "For the next few weeks I want all of you to focus on nothing but finding a song that will guarantee our win!"
"Why bother?" Since his debut solo for the glee club, Sebastian had retired to the back of the classroom, seeming to not take any notice of what was going on unless Kurt was talking. So it came as a surprise that he decided to voice his opinion when it was so obviously not welcome.
"Excuse me?" Mr Schue asked.
"You don't really think you can win, can you? You're up against boys in matching uniforms who sing acapella. You think you can beat that?"
"You may not have heard, Sebastian, but we beat them last year." Finn interjected with a stupid dopey frown on his face.
"That was only because they stuffed up their first song. No offense," He said as he caught a leer from Kurt "But seriously? Candles? Were you trying to lose? If you really want a shot of winning you have only one choice. Put me on lead vocals."
"WHAT?" Rachel shrieked as she jumped from her chair.
Sebastian ignored this interruption and went on.
"Look, no matter what you do all eyes will be on me. Why? Because i'm super hot. So the only thing to do is put me lead. Do you want the audience to pay little or no attention to the singer, making your performance completely forgettable? Or would you rather the judges to notice, to know that you are here to win."
Everyone was silent.
"I'm not saying that I have to solo, a duet would be fine just as long as everyone able to listen to me."
"Oh, hell NO!" Santana spoke up, leaving her chair for the middle of the room. She crossed her arms and glared at Sebastian. "We already have one crazy, show stealing diva running this club. We don't need another one."
"Why do you care? You know you're not getting a solo either way."
As soon as the words left Sebastian's mouth Santana attacked. Luckily (or unluckily according to the glee club) Mr. Schue grabbed hold of her arms before she reached Sebastian.
"LET ME AT HIM!" Santana screamed as she struggled against his grip.
"Brit, can you take care of this?" Mr Schue asked over Santana's shouts.
Brittany rose from her seat and kissed Santana on the head. Silently she took Santana's pinkie in her own and led her to the door.
After the door shut behind them Mr Schue turned back to the club.
"You're not actually agreeing with this slime ball, are you?" Rachel shrieked on the verge of hysteria. Mortified by the idea of another solo not going to her.
"I think what Sebastian is trying to say is that we have to bring our A game if we want a shot at regionals. That's why we will be having a sing off. Whoever can come up with the best performance and display it to the glee club has solo rights to the competition. So put your thinking caps on and get creative!"
Sebastian knew he wouldn't get the solo straight off but he never thought it would be this easy. With his face and singing ability he couldn't lose. All he had to do was make sure that no one with measureable talent would go up against him.
"Hi Tina!" Sebastian slathered his voice with fake enthusiasm.
"I'm impressed. I didn't even know that you knew my name." Tina replied, continuing to walk down the hall with Sebastian trying to catch up.
"I get it. You got the wrong impression of me in glee club. But I really need you to listen to me."
"I'm not interested."
Tina began to speed up. Sebastian stopped and yelled after her
"I'm doing this for Mike Chang!" Tina stopped and came back to Sebastian.
"You're not...you know," Tina said suspiciously.
"Oh, no. You don't have to worry about that. I mean, he is super buff but not my type." He winked "But i've seen him dance. And he's good, one of the best i've seen. I know we will win if he's showcased, don't you agree?"
"Of course! But then why didn't you say that in glee club instead of being a massive jerk?"
"They all know that Mike's a great dancer, yet he was still pushed to the back. Nothing I say will change this. But if I sang lead I could guarantee him a dancing solo."
Tina thought about this for a moment.
"Ok, if you really are serious about Mike getting the spotlight let us join up with you for the performance. Mike can dance and I can sing back up. That way you can't screw us over. Deal?"
"Deal." They shook hands and Tina moved off to her next class. Now with Tina's vocals out of competition and them on his side for popularity votes he was sure he couldn't lose. But just to be safe...
"Hi Rachel!"
"What do you want, you little snitch?" Rachel hissed as started shoving books in her locker.
"I hear you are applying for NYADA?"
"What's it to you?"
"Where is Finn going?"
Rachel paused.
"Why?"
"I just think it's odd he hasn't applied there as well. He's good."
Rachel finally turned her whole attention to Sebastian.
"He is."
"I think he has confidence problems."
"So...?"
"So, wouldn't a showcase at regionals be a big confidence boost?"
"So why are you talking to me about this? Didn't you want the solo?"
"I want to win more than I want the solo, Rachel. The warblers have screwed me over so I want payback. And he can win it for us. The warblers have plenty of me's but they don't have a single Finn. Just make sure he gets the solo, ok?"
And with that he walked away. Beating Rachel would have been a challenge but annihilating Finn would be no problem. There was just one more thing he had to take care of.
"Hi Kurt!" Previously he would reply to this with an intense glare before going on to ignore him completely. Now he gives an unsure smile and a simple 'hello' in reply.
"Will you be entering the sing off?"
"As a matter of fact I will be."
"Great! Can't wait." Sebastian clicked his tongue, winked and walked away from the puzzled boy.
