Blaine's POV

It's going to be hard this year.

We lost two, amazing strong and talented seniors this past year:

Cecilia Keys and Steve Charles.

I'm going to miss them.

This year, Nick, Aiden, and Natalie are going to be seniors.

Losing three more members at the end of the year.

Plus, Alexa, in a very rude note that I will not repeat the words in it to anyone, quit after last year.

Claimed we were 'killing her rep' and many other foul words following it.

It was unfortunate.

But maybe it's for the best. It shows who's really dedicated to this group.

But only one negative:

Now I need to find at least 3 new recruits.

That is going to be really hard.

"Mr. B., I'm pretty sure that if I talk around at cheer practice, I'll be able to find some recruits." Sierra tells me. I smile at her.

"Thank you, Sierra, that will be extremely helpful. Also, boys, we need male members! Many of you do sports, so try to recruit from there. Many of Glee's best members were athletes."

"I'll try, Mr. B., but I highly doubt you'll get anyone from it." Nick tells me.

"Well at least try."

"I will."

"I'll also be having auditions after school. There will be a sign up sheet posted. Lets just hope we get some names."

"Hey, Blaine!" Quinn says after rehearsal, walking into the choir room. "How's recruiting going?"

"Quinn, hey! And lousy at the moment. How are you?"

"Great, actually. I just got engaged to Puck. He made me come back to Ohio to do it."

"Oh my gosh, Quinn, that's amazing!" I hug her. "Do the others know?"

"Not yet. I invited to Lima so Puck and I can tell them the good news. Pretend to act surprised, please?"

"Anything for you, Quinn."

"Thanks. Anything I could do for you, Blaine?"

"Yes. Would you help me with tryouts for glee?"

"Sure, why not. Seems fun."

"Great."

"Ugh, look at the emptiness of this sheet!" I exclaim, showing Quinn the clipboard. "Two names! Two! We need at least three, and I don't even know what kind of talent these kids have!"

"Blaine, calm down. Just do the tryouts first, then worry about that."

"Okay, fine."

"By the way, where's Rory?"

"I told him it was a bad idea, but he went to Sugar's wedding."

"That boy is too nice for his own good. Why would he do that?"

"Like you said, he's too nice. That's just typical Rory Flanagan for ya. Anyway, lets get started. Jack Arson?"

A tall, attractive boy walks onto stage, wearing ripped jeans, high tops, and a hoodie.

"Hey, I'm Jack Arson, I'm a junior, and I'd like to join Glee."

"Okay, Jack, show us what you got." He sings us a small bit of Pompeii before I stop him.

"Thanks, Jack, we'll let you know." I turn to Quinn.

"He's good."

"I know! Nick's gonna have some serious competition this year, The other name is Kelly Davis." A cheerio walks onstage.

Looks like Sierra did her job.

"Hi!" The tiny girl squeaks. "I'm Kelly! I'm a freshman and I'm going to sing some Katy Perry." She sings and her tiny voice is good.

"Thanks, Kelly. We'll let you know." I turn to Quinn. "Well, that's it-"

"Wait!" A boy runs onto stage, almost tripping over some mic cords, "I'd like to audition!" I shrug.

"Okay, and you are-"

"Simon Mitchell. Sophomore. May I?"

"Of course." He sings and it's good. REALLY good. "Thank you so much for auditioning, Simon."

"You're welcome." He exits stage and I turn to Quinn.

"Well, that was surprising."

"Yes, it was. That kid really wants to be in Glee."

"Yeah. Well, let's go get our new members."
