Daisy and I were currently walking down the hallway together. I was trying to keep my promise to Cara that I wouldn't tell her. I hated keeping secrets between friends. On the other hand, I really liked being friends with the two of them.
"I still can't believe that you sang Taylor Swift at Regionals." She remarked.
"Hey, Taylor is a badass." I argued. "She completely eviscerated John Mayer and Joe Jonas. She won't take anything from anyone and I love her."
"Okay, but there are so many better artists that you could have sang at Regionals." She pointed out.
"Don't tell me that you like Evanescence because I would seriously have to rethink this friendship if you did." I teased.
"No, I was thinking more of Michael Jackson." She replied. "I mean he was an awesome songwriter and other artists could tap into that potential even when the song was hidden by something like a stupid dance. I mean have you heard Chris Cornell's cover of 'Billie Jean'?"
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
Said don't mind but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
And every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And Mother always told me be careful who you love
But careful what you do because the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
People always told me be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And Mother always told me be careful who you love
But careful what you do because the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Coincidentally, Michael was what Will and Anna had decided that we were going to do this week.
"No artist could ever have the greatest that Michael Jackson did." Will explained. "He was the man and pretty much every male pop and R&B singer since has modeled themselves after him. But Michael Jackson was also more than a great musician. He was also a humanitarian."
"Didn't he rape kids?" Santana asked.
"That was never proven." Will declared. I personally thought that the accusers were jealous that Michael was spending more time with their kids than they were and also hated his music. It was the only rational reason why someone would want him to go to jail.
After school, I went home and was greeted by Jessa at the door. After she gave me a kiss, she smiled at me.
"You got mail today." She said. I went out to the kitchen I noticed something on the table. It was a manila envelope with my name on it. I opened it and looked at the first page.
"Dear Ms. Fabray, we are happy to inform you that you have received early acceptance into the Augustus D. Juilliard School of Performing Arts. We look forward to having you in the fall! Yes, yes, yes!" I declared as I spent the next few minutes jumping for joy. Once I had calmed down, I spoke again. "Shouldn't this had come in a packet?"
"There was a packet, but I wanted it to be a surprise and I knew if you saw the packet you would know you got in." She explained. "I'm sorry for opening your mail."
"What about you? Did you get anything?" I asked.
"You got early acceptance." She pointed out. "I'll probably find out if I got in or not sometime around April when they send out regular acceptance letters. But we should go somewhere to celebrate and we should take Beth out with us."
So that night, I was out with my mom, Frannie, and Jessa and I had also invited Anna.
"So I never thanked you for writing the recommendation letter that helped get Faith into college." Mom declared.
"As much as I'd like to stroke my ego, I think it was mostly Faith's talent that got her in." Anna argued.
"I just that in a few months, we'll be celebrating Jessa's own acceptance." I remarked before giving my girlfriend a kiss.
The following day at school, I wore a black lace top with a matching choker, purple miniskirt, red leggings and black boots. I wanted to share my news and sing my favorite Michael Jackson song.
She always takes it with a heart of stone
Cause all she does is throw it back at me
I spent a lifetime looking for someone
Don't try to understand me, simply do the things I say
Love is a feeling give me when I want it
Cause I'm on fire, quench my desire
Give me when I walk it, talk to me woman
Give in to me, give in to me
Love is a feeling, quench my desire
Give me when I want it, it's taking me higher
Love is a woman, I don't wanna hear it
Give in to me, give in to me
You and your friends are laughing at me in town but it's okay and it's okay
You won't be laughing girl when I'm not around I'll be okay I'm gonna find a piece of mind
Love is a feeling give me when I want it
Cause I'm on fire, quench my desire
Give me when I walk it, talk to me woman
Give in to me, give in to me
Love is a feeling, quench my desire
Give me when I want it, cause I'm on fire
Talk to me woman, give me when I want it
Give in to me, give in to me
"So before I say anything about the song, I want to share some news with you guys." I explained. "As of yesterday, I am officially accepted into Juilliard. They loved what I sent them and I even got early acceptance."
"That's great, Faith." Will declared. "That's great for someone who has been through as much as you."
"We're all so proud of you." Rachel added. It was kind of weird hearing it from her.
"I want to thank you all for supporting me every step of the way, even when I was at my lowest." I stated. "So what are we going to do about the Warblers?"
"I think I know what Michael Jackson would do." Blaine replied. "He would take it to the streets."
So we went to a parking garage that night. We were wearing leather jackets with the girls in dresses and the guys in pants. It was fitting considering the song that we were singing.
They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face better disappear
The fire's in their words and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough better do what you can
So beat it but you wanna be bad
Just beat it beat it, no one wants to be defeated
Show them funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, just beat it, just beat it, just beat it
They're out to get you better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playing with your life this aint no truth or dare
They'll kick you, they'll beat you and they'll tell it's far
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it beat it, no one wants to be defeated
Show them funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, just beat it, just beat it, just beat it
At that point, Sebastian hurled a slush at Kathryn. It hit him in the face and he went down in pain. What the hell happened? He was bleeding. He had to take him to the emergency room. I waited with Kathryn in the waiting room.
"How is he?" She asked the doctor.
"His right cornea is deeply scratched and he's going to need surgery." The doctor explained. Well that was bad news. We talked to the police, but they couldn't classify it as an assault unless we could come up with proof of intent to harm. In other words, they didn't want to do anything.
When we got to Glee Club, Artie was severely pissed. I'd never seen him so angry before. It had to be pent-up aggression coming out.
After rehearsal, Santana came over to me, but I was not sure why.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I want your help with something." She remarked. "I'm not entirely sure why but this new makeover has made you the baddest bitch in school. I want your help getting revenge on Sebastian because I know that you're angry about what happened to Blaine. We can't let him get away with this."
"I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm going to have to decline your invitation." I remarked. "I'm a parent and I don't want to set a bad example for my parent. It may not be something that you understand, but I'm not going to help you."
I was angry. I was very angry. I wasn't going to lie about that, but I didn't want Beth to think that revenge was the way to go. I had to be a better parent than that.
After school, Kathryn took me and Cara to the Lima Bean. Apparently she had something that she wanted to tell us.
"You know I really need to get home." I declared. "Can you please make this quick?"
"I just wanted to say that I am officially a finalist for NYADA." Kathryn replied with glee.
"You're getting a car?" Cara asked.
"Not Miata, NYADA." She explained.
"Okay, so what's a NYADA?" Cara replied.
"It's this other performing arts school in New York." I answered. "Apparently there was more than one even though I've never heard of it before this past year. Anyway, that is good for you, but please don't tell me that is the only school that you applied for."
"Well I did apply to Liberty and NYU." She remarked.
"So have you heard about Blaine at all?" I asked.
"No." She replied.
The next day, Puck was in the choir room with his guitar.
You'll never make me stay, so take your weight off of me
I know your every move, so won't you just let me be
I've been here times before, but I was too blind to see
That you seduce every man, this time you won't seduce me
She's saying that's okay, hey baby do what you please
I have the stuff that you want, I am the thing that you need
She looked me deep in the eyes, she's touching me so to start
She says there's no turning back, she trapped me in her heart
Dirty Diana, no, Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no, Dirty Diana
Let me be
She says she has to go home cause she's real tired you see
But she hates sleeping alone, why don't you come with me
I said my baby's at home, she's probably worried tonight
I didn't call on the phone to say that I was alright
Dirty Diana, no, Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no, Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no, Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no Dirty Diana
After school, I went with Jessa to see Blaine. Kathryn was already there.
"So we brought you some eye patch movies." I explained. "We've got Pirates of the Caribbean, Valkyrie, and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow."
"You know it really means a lot that you guys would come by to check on me." Blaine declared. "But I want to raise my glass to Kathryn for being a NYADA finalist and to you Faith for getting into Juilliard.
So the surgery is this week. Honestly I'm terrified."
"Hey, you'll do fine even if they can't fix your eye." I assured him. "It might even give you an advantage because people are looking for what makes a person unique. Not to mention, we won't love you less."
The next day after school, we got ready for a group number that was supporting Blaine.
We did find out that Santana managed to catch Sebastian on tape saying that he put rock salt in the slush, but Kathryn didn't want to use it as evidence. It would have been nice to cripple the Warblers by removing their best singer, but it wouldn't be that rewarding to beat them. We could beat them with Sebastian.
Another day has gone, I'm still all alone
How could this be, you're not here with me
You never said goodbye, someone tell me why
Did you have to go, and leave my world so cold
Every day I sit and ask myself how did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone, I am here with you
Though you're far away, I am here to stay
But you are not alone, I am here with you
Though you're far apart, you're always in my heart
For are not alone
Whisper three words then I'll come running
And girl you know that I'll be there, I'll be there
That you are not alone, I am here with you
Though you're far away, I am here to stay
But you are not alone, I am here with you
Though you're far apart, you're always in my heart
For you are not alone I am here with you
Though you're far away, I am here to stay
But you are not alone, I am here with you
Though you're far apart, you're always in my heart
Kathryn was right. We just needed to kick those Warblers asses on the stage.
So Faith got int Juilliard, but we're waiting to see if Jessa did. Also Blaine was injured. The songs are "Billie Jean", "Give In To Me", "Beat It", "Dirty Diana" and "You Are Not Alone". Please don't forget to review.
