"Ok so I want everyone to know th~"

"Listen we picked you cause you sounded better but do not come in here thinking you are better" I look at the girl talking to me in shock "I mean really who do you think you are?"

"Excuse me I am not sure I got your name" She goes to speak but I put up my hand "I do not care and if you want to talk about thinking you are better than you must be looking in a mirror"

"Where the hell do you get o~"

"In bed sweetie but that is a personal thing not up for discussion unless it is with your mother" Everyone's jaws drop and I can see smoke coming out of her ears "Now I wonder what I will do when I actually meet her"

"Shut the fuck up!" She storms over and gets in my face "You have no right!"

"But you have a right to judge me? Talk trash to me?" Her mouth opens and closes "Never bite off more than you can chew"

"Like your dyke of a daughter" I clench my jaw in anger "Got you there huh white girl?"

"You always talk about white people destroying soul" Santana gets up and walks over to us "How about a Latina singing?"

"Yes desecrate it more" Santana narrows her eyes "I can put soul you any given day"

"Try" Santana smirks "Unless you are chicken"

"You are on" The black girl walks to the piano "Hit me with Aretha"

"Alright I understand" Mercedes walks over and holds out her hand "I am sorry...I just feel like I will lose chances at solos"

"I will always do group votes" She smiles and I shake her hand "I think we have a lot to think over! Meeting dismissed!"

The kids all walk out talking and I take a deep breath. This will be a lot of steps forward. I just hope we have it by competition time. Cause I do not think we will be good by any other time.

I guess all I can do is hope and try.
