Chapter 8: Musical Mania

Aubrey's POV

It's been a week since when Lily and me are together and I feel great. I've never had a girlfriend, just sex for me in the past. Now I feel different, I don't even want to have sex with Lily, I just want to be with her, talk with her, see her smile. This day in Glee Club there is not a theme in the whiteboard, Mr. Evans and Ms. Rose are excited, next them there is Declan, Triss' friend, the theater nerd.

"I'm really happy to announce you that even this year we are going to perform in a musical and Declan, one of the best actors in this school. We are going to perform in Les Miserables, a beautiful musical set in France, maybe you have seen the movie. There's just a problem: we don't have a director so if you know someone who can help us, let us know!". Next to me Lily raise suddenly her hand and says that her dream is to be a director, so she could be helpful. Our teachers clap happily their hands, the musical is save and I'm sure it will be a success.

"Hey babe, are you going to audition? I'm dying to judge how good you are? Who you want to be? Fantine? Cosette? Eponine?". No, I don't want this popular roles, I want to be someone more, I want to be Mme Thénardier, the crazy, stupid, funny Mme Thénardier. I kiss her lips quickly and I say with a smirk: "You'll see".

The day after I'm in the cafeteria with my friends Ken and Philip, we are going to audition all together, we both want secondary roles and we have a great connection, I can't wait to see my sexy girlfriend as a sexy musical director.

When we are ready we enter the auditorium, I send Lily a smile and a kiss, she smiles back. Even Ms. Rose, Mr. Evans and Coach Beiste are there. I'm a little excited, I grab my friend's hand and we start to sing.

Aubrey: There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her

While I'm singing I'm thinking about Lily, about how I suddenly noticed her and how hard I tried to impress her, in the second I saw her I decided that I was going to kiss that girl.

Kenneth:Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

Philip:Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl

Aubrey, Kenneth, Philip:Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha la la la la
The music play
Do what the music say

You got to kiss the girl
You've got to kiss the girl
You wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl

As soon as we finish the song we raise our eyes, with a lot of happiness we notice that they are all clapping, Lily blows me a kiss, I smile back at her.

"Which role do you want?" asks us Coach B, Ken speaks for the three of us: "I would like to be Monsieur Thénardier, Aubrey would like to be my wife and Pip would like to be Gavroche". They smile us and say that we will see the cast list as soon as the audition finish.

We exit the auditorium cheering and smiling, but someone in the hallway capture my attention. In the hallway there is a Chinese man, a Chinese man I've never seen before who's smiling at me with a creepy smile. He approaches me and grab my hands, now I'm terrified! "Hi, you must be Aubrey!", I nod slowly "I'm Henry Lee and I'm your father". I gasp, I can't breathe, my father, the man I've always searched is here in front of me, he is staring at me with his dark brown eyes, so similar to mine. What I'm supposed to do now?

Declan's POV

In this school I've always been considered the typical theater nerd, the auditorium is my house, musicals are my life and the musical's characters are my family. Since my mother's death I've alienate myself from the other teenagers, they looked at me with a compassionate face, but I didn't want their compassion, I wanted my mother. So I found the theater, which is a care for my broken heart and soul. Now in my life there's even another person, Tristan, the most amazing guy I've ever met. I love hanging out with him, he always says philosophical things to make me feel better. He would be a perfect Enjloras.

"Hi Triss, are you going to audition for the musical, it would be so great, we could be together, you should be Enjloras, a deep philosophical character, as you."

"I don't know, I'm not into this kind of stuff, in theater everyone is happy and I'm definitely not. All I want is being unnoticed, on my own." It's quite sad for a teenager, that's why I like him, I like him because I want to make him happier, maybe after the show I will be brave enough to ask him if he want to go out with me as more than a friend.

"Triss, I love you and I don't want you to say stuff like that, I know what you have done and when I heard it I didn't want to be your friend anymore. You know why? Because my mother died and all she wanted to was live, she would have paid millions to be still there and I found stupid and hateful that someone so young wanted to end something so precious. Don't even try again to do something like that, life is important, is a gift, don't waste it. When you are with me you are always happy, if we do this together we'll see you so often that you will always be happy. Please do it for me."

"Ok I will, just be cause I love you really much and I heard that even Aubrey will be in it. So you thing that Enjloras would be good for me? Someone so passionate would be good for me?"

"Yes, because under your skin I know that you are really passionate.". As soon as I finish to say that he leans closer and closer to me and I feel his lips on mine, all I can do is kiss him back because I was dying to do it. "What have I told you, you're very passionate." He smiles with the most beautiful smile on the Earth and says me: "I'll audition, but I want to do it on my own, I don't want you there." He kisses me another time and enters the auditorium with a lot of confidence.

After ten minutes he comes back with I smile, he says me that maybe he got the role, now it's my turn. I'm really excited, is my turn.

"Hi, I'm Declan Spencer and I'm going to audition for the role of Jean Valjean"

Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...Again!
Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...Again!
Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...Again!
Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...Right!
That connects with...
Turn, turn, out, in, jump, step,
Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch.
Got it?... Going on. And...
Turn, turn, touch, down, back, step,
Pivot, step, walk, walk, walk.

Right! Let's do the whole combination,
Facing away from the mirror.
From the top. A-Five, six, seven, eight!

God, I hope I get it.
I hope I get it.
How many people does he need?

How many people does he need?

God, I hope I get it.

I hope I get it.
How many boys, how many girls?
How many boys, how many...?

Look at all the people!
At all the people.
How many people does he need?
How many boys, how many girls?
How many people does he...?
I really need this job.
Please God, I need this job.
I've got to get this job.

After I finish my song I look at Lily Hastings, the director and she gives me a warm smile, I think I get the part of my dreams. My mum, when she was alive always told me that I was born to be Jean Valjean, when I was little I was obsessed with him, I knew all his songs in the musical. Now that I will probably be Jean Valjean I'm so happy because I know that she would be proud of me, probably now she is smiling in the sky.

Ali's POV

All I hate most is being in the spotlight, but for this musical I want to shine, I want to be in the center of the stage, I want the role of Cosette and I would do everything to get it.

I have already done my audition and everything went well, I've sang "Castle on a Cloud" and everyone seemed impressed, but this is a really ambit role, so I have to face many others girls.

While I'm thinking about how funny it would be being in the musical as one of the main characters, I hit someone on something in the hallway. All my musical sheets fall on the ground, a hand grabs mine and I raise my eyes, it's Liam Swansen, the boy I have a big crush on.

"Sorry I wasn't looking, I'm so sorry Liam". He doesn't have an angry look on his face, he is smiling with his perfect teeth, his eyes are so gorgeous, they capture all my senses.

"Don't worry Ali, I'm the sorry one, I made fall all your sheets. I'm so sorry Ali! Why are you so distracted today?". He's so cute! He's caring about me! "I've auditioned for Cosette in the musical, but it's a really popular role, so I don't know if I got it, I've heard that the Snow Queen did an audition as good as mine. I'm a little worried."

"I'm sure that you will be Cosette, you know every time you sing in Glee Club I stand next to the door and listen to you. Your singing always makes me feel better, your voice is angelic Ali."

As soon as he finishes to talk I kiss him, I let the shyness go away and I kiss him, and he doesn't pull me away, but he kisses back. It's my first kiss and it's amazing. Someone interrupt me patting on my shoulder. I turn with an angry look and I see Ms. Rose, who's smiling at me.

"Ali, we want to listen to you again, you have to come with me in the auditorium, we are undecided between you and Elsa, you are going to have a diva-off." What is a diva-off? I turn to Liam and asks him if he wants to be in the auditorium for me, he says yes, I grab his hand and we enter the door together.

Inside I see Elsa and Jason, I can't believe that she was as good as me, I should be Cosette, I'm blonde, and she's not, she is more for Eponine.

"OK Pumpkins, now you have to sing a song, take this sheet, we have divided it in two parts. This is a song that two former Glee club members sang in a diva-off many years ago. The song is "Take me or Leave me".

Elsa looks in my eyes and says: "Mason, I'm going to win this thing, no matter what." I've always been shy, but this is not the moment for shyness: "No my dear Elsa, you have to pass over my dead body to get this role. I'm going to be so much better than you". She looks at me in anger and snaps back: "After this you're going to come back in tears in your stupid journal room and you're going to write an article about how weak you are sweetie.". I'm going to respond her but Lily shouts:"Girls, I want to come home because I have a date with my girlfriend, so if you want this part you better shut up, grab this sheets and start singing, because I'm going to slap your faces if you don't do this!"

All the teachers look at her with mouth wide open, this girl seems shy, but she definitely has balls.

We grab the sheets, we look deadly in each other eyes and we start to sing. I'm so going to win this.(A/N: Elsa is normal, Ali is Italics and bold is both)

Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say
"Baby's so sweet"

Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls
I can't help it baby

So be kind
And don't lose your mind
Just remember
That I'm your baby

Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me

A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage
Baby, let's have fun!

You are the one I choose
Folks would kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, now baby

So be mine
And don't waste my time
Cryin', "Oh Honeybear
Are you still my, my, my baby?"

Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me.

I have to be Cosette and I won't let Elsa take that from me.

Ella's POV

I haven't auditioned for the musical. I don't want to be far from Liam even more, he is just a baby and he needs his mum. He's the best part of my life, even if Glee Club is not that bad.

"Ella, you haven't auditioned for the musical and I was guessing if you could do me a favor." I haven't seen Lily, my best friend, in a day. She is really busy with this musical and she wasn't able to have lunch with me today. "Of course Lily, I would do everything for you, you know."

"I need a help for the musical, I was guessing if you could be my co-director or my assistant, I need a hand and you are the one I want by my side Ella."

"Lily I can't be away from home for a long time, so I think I can't help you, I'm sorry!".

"Why Ella? I'm your best friend and you are mine, we shouldn't have secrets, we should tell each other anything." I can't tell her about Liam, she will think that I'm a slut and she won't be my friend anymore. "You talk about secrets, but even you have one, is really hot and you wear a long sleeved shirt, you always sweat, but I've never see you with a t-shirt Why Lily?"

"I'm going to tell my secret, but after you have to tell me yours. I was born here, when I was five my parents divorced and I moved to Italy with my mum. Here everything was perfect, my life was amazing, I had a caring mother, funny friends and a lovely grandmother. Two years ago my mother met a man, he seemed nice with her, but when he was alone with me alone he turned into a monster, I hit me so many times that I can remember, he broke me four ribs once, but I couldn't tell my mother because she was happy and with her he was an amazing man. So Five months ago I sent my father a message and I told him that I wanted to live with him because I wanted to let my mother a bit of privacy. He agreed because he wanted to see me again. Before I left my stepfather came to my room a night, when my mother was in a business trip and he hit me for the last time. I still have bruises all over my body, my arms are not pink anymore, they are purple. That's why I have long sleeved shirts. Because I don't want others compassion."

Oh, my God, that's terrible, I take her in my arms and I hold her as long as I can, I could never have imagined that beside her warm and bright smile she was so damaged.

"My secret is not horrible as yours, it's an amazing thing, but I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid you would call me slut. I have a son, a little one, his name is Liam and he is the light of my life, and I want to be with him always. Please don't tell anybody, I won't tell yours."

She smiles and hugs me back. "So, I guess you are not going to be my co director." I tel her to wait, I grab my phone and I call the only person who can help me, my dad.

"Hi sweetie, why have you called me?" he's the best person in the world.

"Hi dad, I need an advice, Lily asked me if I want to co direct with her the school musical, but I'm not sure. I've never done something like that and I'm sure I'll screw everything as always."

"JAG ÄR HELT SÄKER PÅ ATT DU KOMMER GÖRA DET JÄTTEBRA". And he hangs the phone. He hasn't said much, just that he's sure that I'll do it great, but this is what I needed.

"Lily says hi to your new co director". She can't believe her ears, she hugs me and we start jumping for happiness, sharing our secrets made us stronger.

...the day after...

We had spent all the last night watching the auditions and now we are ready to hang the cast list with the approval of our teachers.

Soooo... what do you think about the cast list? Which POV you liked most? After this two chapter there will be another week theme and you can suggest me one, and then sectionals and the others clubs will be Warblers(I already have the captain) and another team. To write the Sectionals' chapter I need your help in two way:

1)I would like you to submit a character who could be the captain of the team, and this is the form (I'll give you credit)

Name:

Surname:

Grade:

School:

Name of the Glee Club

Where they are from

Particularities of the Glee Club

Set list

Storyline for sectionals (How will they behave towards ND, if they are friends with someone in ND and why, will they do something important for the story, like cheat or stuff like that)

2) I'm going to put a poll in my bio and you can vote the character you like most, you can't vote for your own, the one who has more votes will do a solo, the second and the third a duet and the other will perform in a group song.

As always I hope you'll like it and I hope you'll review. Tell me in reviews what you liked most ad what you didn't so I can make I better job next time!
