Chapter 7
Thanks again for the awesome support. I have plans (as well as crushes forming) for the next chapter. Sorry it took a few days longer to get this chapter done. I had to brainstorm, and miss a few of my favorite TV shows to get this one done. *Gleek hugs to you Max-0013, again, you're amazing at ideas, and you don't even know why this time! XD* CONGRATS BALITIMORE RAVENS YOU'RE CLOSER TO THE SUPERBOWL! * Oh and MirrorSpirit, when you see this 60 kg is 132 pounds, I Googled it!
Also, this chapter was different, because I wanted to different P.O.V's besides the school.

I didn't know what to think about the mentor thing, then again, I didn't know about that Violet girl. Yeah, I had classes with her, and all, but still.
"So I hear that you're on the swim team," Mike tells me with a quick smile.
"Yeah, I'm under captain," I tell him quickly.
"Sam was on the swim team for a bit after he came here. He was good too," he tells me, as he looks over at Sam very quick.
"I didn't know that," I tell him as I take a sip of my soda. "I can sing bad-ass Ke$ha," I add out of nowhere.
"You sing, I dance, lets rock this," he tells me with excitement. "I mean, we are a karaoke bar after all," he adds, then we walk up to microphone, and tell the karaoke guy that they hired what I had wanted. Past Lives by Ke$ha. He looked as though this was a new request.
I am ready, I begin, but before I do, an attractive, brown haired, hazel eyed boy caught my attention.
We were lovers in a past life,
I can see it in your green eyes,
Maybe you were one of my wives,
In the long lost tribe.
There's just somethin' 'bout you I know,
Started centuries ago though,
You see your kiss is like a lost ghost,
Only I would know.
But I, I keep on falling for you,
Time after time, time after time.
I'll make you mine, time after,
Time after time.
Seems millenniums' ago, love,
We were nothing more than stardust,
Just the galaxy beneath us,
We found weight.
Then we made it through the Ice Age,
But I lost you in the crusades,
I build the pyramids for you, babe,
Just to see your face.
But I, I keep on falling for you,
Time after time, time after time.
I'll make you mine, time after,
Time after time, yeah.
(Time after time),
(Time after time),
(Time after time).
(Time after time).
(Time after time),
(Time after time).
As we finish the song, the audience, applauds, and I still see the boy. I had to know something about him. His chocolate eyes, and caramel colored skin had me at hello.
"Hi. I'm Brant," I tell him nervously, as I stand beside him.
"Hey, I'm Ben, and you kicked ass up there. Here's my number call me sometime, you should consider show choir, I'm in one called Vocal Adrenaline," he tells me with a seductive smile.
"Yeah, I'll do that sometime," I half lie, and quickly jot down my cell phone number for when I call him. Too bad, I already knew, he would just be another one night stand.

At home after rehearsals, and meeting the mentor, which, I thought was pretty cool. I mean, no one else would have the experience, and well, I have to admit, that Sam kid, who looked like Andy, was kind of cute. I've been at this school since freshman year, and not once have I seen him. Anyhow, I push that aside, and play with my hair a bit, and then focus some more on my Presidential Speech, that I would need to win.
"I believe, that every student here at McKinley has a chance, to be who they want to be," I stop and take a deep breath. That sounded cheesy, and besides, no student wants to hear the belief speech. Then again, I was hoping for the vote to speak at graduation.
I push that aside as well, and go to my French homework. Finally when that's done, I log onto my Facebook account, and start my Presidential Campaign. I was confident, even if I didn't win.

I still hadn't told my parents. I didn't know how to break it to them. I was more interested in music, than I was any of their accounting business. I also didn't know how to tell them, that I was in Glee club. I knew what they would do, and well, being grounded at eighteen, and grounded, isn't how I wanted to go about it. Truth be told, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do after graduation. Maybe, I would break it to them near graduation. Then again, there was photography club, they wouldn't be so upset about that.
"You have your homework done?" my mom asks, from downstairs.
"Yes, mom. Well almost, I just have Science to finish, and that's just and easy diorama," I tell her from upstairs. What she didn't know, was, at that moment, I had paused my iPod.
"Ok, dinner is almost done, and your father will be home soon," she tells me.
"Ok, I'll be down in a bit," I yell back to her, and remove my iPod from pause. I was going to have some fun, even if I had to be cautious about it.
I throw all of your stuff away
Then I clear you out of my head
I tear you out of my heart
And ignore all your messages
I tell everyone we are through
'Cause I'm so much better without you
But it's just another pretty lie
'Cause I break down
Every time you come around
Oh oh!
So how did you get here under my skin?
I swore that I'd never let you back in
Should've known better than trying to let you go
'Cause here we go go go again
Reality kicks in when I hear my mother call from downstairs. I knew dad was home, and I take one deep breath, of hoping, and failing to tell them.
"After dinner, I have to go and finish my Science homework," I announce to my parents.
"Is it due tomorrow?" my dad asks, as he cuts his dinner.
"Yes," I tell him.
"Very well then," he answers me, and we finish dinner in silence about school work.

"Got anything else to do?" Sam asks me.
"No. Well, I was headed to play some basketball," I tell him, as he catches up with me, after we all meet each other.
"Mind if I tag along? I was planning on trying out for the team this year," he tells me.
"Can if you want, I'll probably shoot a few hoops. The courts help me feel less pressured, and all that," I tell him, as we head down towards the gym. As I walk in, I see a few of my friends there.
"You brought Sam Evans?" questions Blake, as I walk in with Sam.
"Yeah, why not?" I ask Blake, as takes his t-shirt off, and places a Lakers jersey on instead.
"The dude, ain't got no game," Blake answers, and throws me the ball.
"I say we play him. Two on two," Blake offers.
"Sounds great," Sam answers for me. Before I deject, he has the ball in hands, and shoots.
He stands at the three shot line, and makes it. Next is my shot, and I miss. On purpose, but still. H.
I didn't want to play, not really. I wasn't feeling it, so I make up an excuse, and leave. I didn't know if Sam was going to catch up or not, but I figured I would head to the music room, and play a few notes on the piano.
Corey and Hero were there, playing some duet song. It sounded rather nice, those two.
"You guys are amazing," I tell them.
"Thanks. We were going to try to get duets for our next assignment," he tells me. "Come in, and join us, if you want," he adds. I look at Hero, and smile.
"Come on, we could use another person to hang out with," Hero protests, as she gets up and drags me into the music room with enthusiasm.
"What song were you singing?" I ask wondering, as I quickly meet her eyes.
"Lean on Me," she tells me, as she hands me the song book, and Corey starts from the top.
"How about you two sing this one?" he asks, as he begins to play the song again.
As we're about to begin, Sam enters, and sits in an empty chair.
"I thought you were playing basketball," I wonder.
"Found out it wasn't my thing. Music, and occasionally swimming seems to be my thing," he answers.
"We were about to sing," Corey announces, as he places his fingers on the keys again.
"Lets hear it," he says as he flashes a smile again.
We sing the song, and Sam seemed impressed.
"You guys sure you aren't the New Directions couple of year? Because, you guys, just made that song epic," he protests.
"No, we're just friends," I tell him.
"Sure, that's what they all say," Corey teases catching on to what Sam is getting at.
"I'm about to head out, I have homework to get to," I announce, secretly giving up.
"Don't forget, assignment is due tomorrow," Corey fake hollers at me.
"Got it," I tell him, as I get ready to leave, and looking at Hero again.
