Rehearsing with the New Directions

Bas's pov

The time had arrived for Glee rehearsals, and I had been allowed to rehearse with the New Directions; since it was not competition season; therefore there were no chances of me using this experience against them. Since some of the members hated me, Marls and Santy walked in with me, one of my girls on either side; casting a long, bewildered silence among the other Directioners. They knew about me living with the Rose's, but Santana helping me was what they couldn't comprehend.

Rachel was the first to speak "Why are you helping him, Tana?" the Latina being interrogated smiled "Cause girlfriends hep their boyfriends." what immediately followed was an outbreak of whispers, pointing and staring; most of the jaws in the room dropped to the floor. Thankfully, their teacher, Mr. Schue, intervened right at the perfect moment, announcing the start of the rehearsal; and everyone promptly stopped staring at the new 'Romeo and Juliet'esqeue couple and we went to work.

Very quickly I realized something I had not realized or accepted before. They were good. I knew Santana was good, and Marls of course; but every single one of them was - I swallowed my pride, even as I thought this- amazing. My "sister" brought me out of my thoughts

"C'mon. Mr. Schue wants to see, or rather hear, how you fit in with us. He wants you to sing with me, Rachel, Finn and the future Mrs. Smythe. " both Santana and I blushed a bright shade of pink with a sunburned red at the way she described Santana. Finn spoke "Let's sing first."

He chose the song, Thriller, and we sounded pretty good together. But not as good as Santy and I, who simply opted to recreate our Smooth Criminal duel as a performance; everything the same as the first time, except for venue and the fact that I seized the opportunity and kissed her in the end. There was no question of compatibility there.

Next, Marley and I sang, and though the performance was nowhere near as electrifying as me and Santy's, our rendition of Moon River won the approval of all in the room, same as mine and Rachel's each dedicating their part of Lay All Your Love On Me by ABBA to their significant other. All in all, everything was great and I ended up having fun and starting to fit in. Maybe this wsn't so bad after all...
